Chang'an, Taiji Palace, Ganlu Palace. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Ganlu Hall is the emperor's bedroom, today Li Yuan is in a good mood, and specially summoned the prime minister of the three provinces, the monk Shangshu and other important ministers to the palace, and drank with them.

Wine is fine wine, Bashang Liquor Special Tribute Royal Wine Bailu Daqu.

"This yak meat is also good, and this butter tea is also very delicious!" It was still very hot in Guanzhong in July, and Li Yuan drank so much that he simply opened his arms and revealed the three breasts.

"Congratulations to Your Majesty, Zhang Wenyuan won a great victory in Taozhou, and uprooted the Black Yeli Department with a population of more than 20,000 in a battle, this is an unprecedented victory for my Tang Dynasty against Tuyuhun!"

The left servant shot Pei Lin smiled and congratulated Li Yuan.

Xiao Yu also praised the emperor for his proper use of people, "Your Majesty is really discerning, and he made an exception to choose Zhang Wenyuan, a bachelor from Hanlin, to guard the gate of Longyou, and the result was really unexpectedly good." ”

Li Yuan laughed, "This Zhang San is indeed a talent. In the first battle of Hebei Zhaozhou, he dared to enter the city alone to persuade him to surrender, which fully shows that this son is amazingly courageous, and he can also plot against the enemy general, and it is even more commendable to capture the city of Zhaozhou. However, what really amazed me was the last battle of Longyou, Zhang San relied on his own strength to turn the tide, saved the King of Qin and rescued the danger of Longyou, amazing, terrible. Zhang San's ability to fight a war is stronger than his ability to compile books. ”

Zheng Shanguo, the secretary of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, unceremoniously praised his nephew and son-in-law as a talent.

Li Yuan actually nodded when he heard this.

"Zhang San is just a little too young, let him stand alone outside, practice for a few more years, and he can't get in and out."

can be so praised by the emperor, even Pei Lin and other prime ministers can't help but be amazed.

However, they can't say that the emperor has won the award, after all, Zhang Chao's merits are real. Not to mention that the battle of Longyou was still a bit risky and lucky, but after that, Zhang Chao guarded Taozhou, first destroyed a disobedient Yeli tribe, and beat the big tribe of 3,000 people into slaves. In the face of the attack of a large Tuyuhun tribe with a population of more than 20,000, Zhang Chao had already reconnoitred and learned about it, but he was silent, but instead came to a plan and fought a more beautiful battle.

With less than 100 casualties, 1,000 cavalry were killed and 15,000 were captured, plus Zhang Chao then sent troops to uproot the Black Yeli Department, and captured more than 7,000 women, children, and children.

This cannot be described without the word miracle.

"Your Majesty, the situation in Taozhou is so good that people can't believe it! After the unification of the four states, Taozhou now has a population of nearly 80,000, and immigrants are all in place. Now Taozhou is divided into fields and land, and the tuntian reclamation is busy. Chen Shuda said with a smile.

Feng Deyi also said with a smile, "Zhang Wenyuan has only been in charge of Taozhou for a few months, but he has already done a lot of practical things. Restore order in Taozhou after the war and rebuild its defenses. In addition, appeasement, requisition, tuntian, business, and running schools are the same and the same, which can be described as quite commendable. With a border city in the heart of the river, Zhang Chao has collected more than 20,000 yuan of customs duties and commercial taxes, half of which is used for the needs of Taozhou's military, government and civil reclamation, and has also escorted more than 10,000 yuan to the imperial court into Beijing. ”

Speaking of which, Feng Deyi really admires Zhang Chao.

After the war, Taozhou has a population of less than 10,000 and has nothing.

But Zhang San was stunned that in a short period of time, Taozhou restored order, resumed production, resumed defense, and even relied on the border market he opened, and he let the Taozhou official government and military government operate again.

There is even money left over to build cities, forts, roads, villages, and so on.

Feng Deyi couldn't imagine who else could do better.

In less than three months, Zhang Chao escorted 10,000 yuan to the imperial court, which was the tax money handed over to the national treasury. It's not rent, it's customs duties, commercial taxes.

More than 10,000 yuan, although there are some powerful families, there are more than so many family properties. But for the Tang Dynasty at the beginning of the founding of the country, the financial revenue of the imperial court was very small, and of course the expenditure was less.

Even the officials only have the Beijing officials, and the foreign officials do not have the money, and even the office expenses of the local government will not be paid by the imperial court. The foreign officials' salaries are topped by their posts, and the office expenses of the official offices are offset by the money of the public office and the public office.

A lot of Datang's current expenditures are actually based on the income of the war. The treasury of the previous dynasty, as well as the property of some defeated forces, etc., relying on these, the treasury of the Tang Dynasty is quite good.

In addition, the officials adopted the government military system for the fields and soldiers, so that the imperial court saved the expenses of raising officials and soldiers, which can be supported under today's extremely low fiscal taxes.

The more than 10,000 yuan of commercial tax is only paid by a border state, and it is only less than three months, and even this is only half of it.

An important minister like Feng Deyi even knew very well that Zhang Chao had definitely not handed over half of it.

After all, as far as they knew, Zhang San had more than 20,000 slaves in Taozhou just to conquer the Fanbu. The cattle, sheep and horses he seized were even more numerous.

If you count all of these, then Zhang San has earned more than 20,000 yuan in the past few months, and 100,000 yuan.

It's only a few months, if it's a whole year? How many have to be?

There are more than 300 states in Datang, and Taozhou is the only one.

Feng Deyi didn't expect Zhang Chao to pay millions of commercial taxes to the imperial court a year, even if he could pay 100,000 yuan, it would be very remarkable. The imperial court actually needs money very much, and now the imperial court can only give a few Beijing officials a fortune, which is actually a helpless move.

If the income can be increased by another 100,000 yuan a year, the prime ministers will be happy to close their mouths.

Li Yuan patted his hairy chest, "If I have a few more Zhang Saburo in the Tang Dynasty, why would I be worried." In the border area, a courtier like Zhang Sanlang is most needed, and Wen can Anbang and Wu can determine the country. Tuyuhun was cut off a finger this time, and I am very relieved! ”

This time, Tuyuhun took advantage of the Turkic and Jianghuai rebellions to rob Li Yuan, which made Li Yuan quite thrilling.

With the bravery of his son Shimin and Zhang San's wit, in the end, the Tang Dynasty did not let Tuyuhun take advantage of it, but in the end, it was quite embarrassing, and several states fell into the war and suffered heavy losses.

What's more, Datang was slapped in the face, and the beating sounded. Every time Li Yuan recalled that he almost let Tuyuhun enter the Guanzhong at that time, and his second son was almost killed in Longxi, he couldn't help but feel afraid.

Then there was the incomparable anger.

But Li Yuan can't take revenge on Tuyuhun right now, not only can't he retaliate back, but he also has to send someone to make peace with Tuyuhun Khan, and he has to send the princess and his relatives to appease.

Every time he thought of this, Li Yuan was extremely depressed.

After all, the strategy he and his ministers agreed on was to start fighting the Tuyuhun people for the time being, the Central Plains were all uncertain, and there were Turks and Goguryeo in the north.

However, this time it was the Tuyuhun people who came to invade the territory and loot Taozhou first, and Zhang Wenyuan was just defending. It was the Tuyuhun people who once again tore up the agreement, and the Tang army was a defensive counterattack.

Tuyuhun suffered a big loss, but he could only knock out his teeth and swallow it in his stomach.

When Li Yuan heard that Zhang Chao had wiped out a large tribe of more than 20,000 people in Tuyuhun at once, he was really as excited as drinking a cup of iced sour plum soup under the sun in June.

"Come, let's raise a glass to Zhang Wenyuan!" Li Yuan raised the wine glass in his hand with a smile, anyway, today is not a court meeting, no deliberations, and there are no celebrant officials, he is also very relaxed.

Three rounds of drinking.

The monarch and the minister were happy, and the chamberlain reported to the prince to ask to see him.

"The prince is here, let him in." Li Yuan smiled and waved.

Li Jiancheng followed the chamberlain into the hall and saw that the scene in the hall was a little different.

"Prince, what are you doing here?" Li Yuan asked.

"Father, the emperor, the son received the report, I heard that Zhang Chao, the assassin of Taozhou, privately provoked a border provocation, and had a serious conflict with the Tuyuhun Yeli Ministry, and sent troops in vain, killing more than 1,000 people in the Yeli Ministry, and attacking and capturing tens of thousands of Tuyuhun people. Father, Zhang Chao has no court in his eyes, and he acts recklessly! Erchen requested that someone be sent to arrest Zhang Chao back to Beijing immediately, interrogate him strictly, and punish him according to law! ”

The smile on Li Yuan's face gradually froze.

The prime ministers, monks, and other important ministers in the hall also opened their mouths wide one by one.

The emperor just praised Zhang San with them, praising Zhang San for his good work in Taozhou, especially the Ministry of Metallurgy.

But now the prince came to impeach Zhang Chao, saying that he provoked the border provocation without authorization, which .......

Li Yuan is now very disappointed in the crown prince, even disappointed.

He couldn't imagine that a dignified prince of a country could say such a thing. He naturally knew about the matter between the prince and Zhang San, but he couldn't imagine that the prince could abolish the public for personal purposes and reverse black and white.

He originally asked Zhang San to stay in Taozhou, hoping to give the prince some time to think about it. He even thinks that a talent like Zhang San should be cherished and reused by the prince. plans to let Zhang San return to the East Palace after a while to assist the prince.

But now, Li Yuan is really disappointed.

"Father's ......."

"Your Majesty!" Li Yuan shouted angrily.

Li Jiancheng was taken aback, and he didn't know why he suddenly angered the emperor.

"Yes, Your Majesty. Erchen thinks Zhang Chao ......"

"Zhang Wenyuan is in charge of Taozhou alone, guarding one side, conquisitioning, pacifying, tuntian, developing business, running schools, and doing everything very beautifully. As for the extermination of the Yeli Department and the conquest of the Black Yeli, there is nothing wrong with it. It's you, the prince, where are your eyes, have you treated Zhang Chao from the perspective of the prince from the Tang Dynasty, and what happened in Taozhou? ”

Li Jiancheng's complexion changed slightly.

"Zhang Wenyuan is my hero of the Tang Dynasty!" Li Yuan reiterated.

Li Jiancheng's hands were trembling, he didn't expect the emperor to value Zhang San so much.

"Anything else?" Li Yuan glared at Li Jiancheng angrily.

"Erchen has nothing else to do."

"Then go back to the East Palace, learn to deal with the government well, don't make a distinction between black and white, and turn right and wrong upside down!" Li Yuan was a little drunk, and his words were very ruthless.

Li Jiancheng was ashamed and angry, in front of a group of prime ministers and other important ministers, he was reprimanded by the emperor like this, and he really lost his face. He bowed his head, said goodbye to the emperor, and left.

Li Yuan looked at Li Jiancheng's disappearing figure and couldn't help but sigh.

"I want to make Shimin the crown prince, what do you think?"

The emperor's words woke up the ministers, although the scene just now made them very enjoyable, and they all secretly despised the prince's inappropriateness, but the vast majority of people present have actually always supported the prince.

is not only a family member of the crown princess like Zheng Shanguo, but also Pei Lin and others who simply think that the prince should be made the prince.

The eldest is the crown prince, and this is the best heir.

What's more, the crown prince has been performing well in the past few years, although he is not as good as King Qin, but he is also decent, and there is nothing wrong with it, why does the emperor suddenly have to change the reserve?

"Your Majesty, by all means!" Pei Lin and several other prime ministers hurriedly exclaimed and dissuaded!

11 chapters are still owed! (To be continued.) )
