Chapter 162: If I want to eat peaches, I'll pick them casually

Outside the room, in the courtyard, Li Shimin stood under a peach tree with his hands in his hands. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

This is a wild peach, the world is full of fragrant flowers in April, and the tree is already full of wild peaches the size of fingers. The breeze blew, the branches and leaves rustled, Li Shimin suddenly reached out and picked a peach, put it on his fingertips and slowly crushed it.

"Boy, I don't hold you accountable!" The emperor looked up at the peach tree, his face was not very good, and he said coldly: "But I must understand one thing, why did you stop the army from chasing Jieli?" Things on the battlefield are changing rapidly, and few enemy troops are panicking and retreating, what a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and you buried it in vain......"

Han Yue took a deep breath, he didn't answer Li Shimin directly, but asked pointedly, "Your Majesty, do you want to kill Jieli or destroy the Turks?" ”

Li Shimin was slightly stunned, and then snorted softly: "What's the difference?" Jieli is the overlord of the grassland, kill him, and the grassland will be destroyed! Capture the thief and capture the king first, this eternal principle ......"

Han Yue shook his head slowly and retorted, "Not necessarily! ”

"Huh? So why isn't that necessarily the case? Li Shimin slowly turned his head with a look of exploration in his eyes.

Han Yue glanced at the emperor, and suddenly stretched out his hand and pointed to the peach tree in front of him and said: "Your Majesty, look, if this peach tree is compared to a grassland, then the Turkic tribes are the peaches on the tree, they are densely scattered and scattered, and Jieli is at best a large peach. ”

Li Shimin was stunned for a moment, his eyes fell on the peach tree in front of him, and he said lightly: "Your metaphor is a bit novel, but it is also appropriate." Go on, I listened......"

Han Yue reached out and picked up a peach from under the tree, slapped it in his palm, and the peach was instantly smashed. He threw away the peach and pointed to the peach tree again, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, you see, even if we smash the peach of Jieli, there are still many peaches on the tree, and it won't be long before big ones pop up again." ”

"Then I'll pick it again, and smash it again!" Li Shimin snorted coldly.

Han Yue shook his head and smiled: "I'm too tired, I'll pick it up, I will pick it this time, I will pick it this time, I will pick it this year and next year, when will it be the end." ”

Li Shimin suddenly glanced at Han Yue with great meaning, and said with a smile: "Then tell me, how to solve this matter?" ”

"There are two ways to do it!" Han Yue suddenly stretched out two fingers and said lightly: "The first way is to cut down this tree with a knife." ”

"Cut down this tree?" Li Shimin's eyes lit up.

"Yes, cut down the tree!" Han Yue's eyes were ruthless, and he said coldly: "Leaving the grass on the plain, one year old and one withered, the wildfire is inexhaustible, and the spring breeze blows and grows." If you want to destroy the Turks, you must sweep the steppe with the power of ploughing and sweeping the caves, and kill all the millions of Turks. Not a single one can be left ......."

Li Shimin gasped!

He always thought that he was ruthless enough, but he couldn't imagine that Han Yue was more ruthless than him. Not only ruthless, but also pertinent analysis, listen, wildfires are inexhaustible, and spring breezes blow and grow. Tsk, the stinky boy is so handsome.

Hearing Han Yue, he continued: "However, this kind of thing is laborious and laborious, injuring one thousand enemies and losing eight hundred, and even the firewood knife will be broken if one is not good, so I think that the second method can be used to deal with the Turks." ”

"The second way? What is that......" Li Shimin became more and more interested.

Han Yue snorted, suddenly pointed to the surrounding courtyard wall, and then pointed to the peach tree in front of him, and said with a wicked smile: "Naturally, transplant the peach tree into your own home, so that not only do you not have to worry about the peaches falling and hurting people, but you can pick peaches whenever you want to eat in the future." ”

"Transplant into your own home?" Li Shimin muttered, his face showed a contemplative look, and said slowly: "This matter is not easy, the grassland is vast and boundless, and the territory is even more vast than my Tang Dynasty. Since ancient times, many talented people have wanted to pacify the grasslands, but no one has succeeded for thousands of years. He glanced at Han Yue, and then said: "Qin Shi Huang has to build the Great Wall like that, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty claims that those who offend my Han will be punished from afar, but in fact, he only sent Huo Qubing to fight a surprise battle. It is not easy to control the grasslands. ”

Han Yue smiled and said, "Your Majesty, has you forgotten our original intention of establishing a mutual market? Nowadays, Chen's economic war has gradually shown results, from the beginning of the month sales of 1,000 iron pots and 100 bags of grain, to the current daily sales of 10,000 tea bricks and 1,000 quintals of salt and iron. The Turkic herders became more and more dependent on the mutual market, and now they are short of supplies and are no longer willing to ride horses to rob them, but think that they can drive their cattle and sheep to the mutual market. ”

He paused here and said solemnly: "The minister is constantly eliminating the wolf nature of the Turks, and Your Majesty will give the minister two more years, and the minister will be able to complete this matter." ”

Li Shimin was a little worried: "Your strategy is very good, but I'm afraid that the Central Plains won't be able to bear it." Now the mutual market will dump tens of thousands of materials in one day, and it will definitely increase in the future. Not long after the founding of the Tang Dynasty, the people were not rich, if they continued to dump like this. Isn't our wealth going to be hollowed out by the grasslands? ”

"How so!" Han Yue shouted and said with a smile: "The more developed the business, the more prosperous the industry." Your Majesty's concern is purely groundless, you can ask someone to ask, since the opening of the mutual market, have the people become poorer and poorer? ”

"That's what I don't understand! Obviously, a large number of supplies from our dynasty poured into the grasslands, why did the people not see poverty at all, not only did they not see poverty, but they became richer and richer. He glanced at Han Yue, and said with some curiosity: "You can tell me about this matter, I can understand the word business, what does industry mean?" ”

"Industry is production, and Your Majesty can understand it as the people planting fields and harvesting crops, the blacksmiths striking iron to make iron pots, and the tea farmers planting tea and harvesting tea bricks. In short, this industry is a very delicate industry, and the more it is stimulated, the more prosperous it becomes, and the more it is restricted, the smaller the depression. ”

Han Yue actually didn't know much about this, he was afraid that he would lose if he said too much, so he hurriedly ended the topic and said: "So Your Majesty, you don't have to worry that the materials of our dynasty will be hollowed out by the grassland, the more they buy, the richer we will be, and the ministers wish that the daily sales of the mutual market can exceed 100,000." If even the people of the Western Regions and the Goryeo came to buy it, it would be applauding, and the ministers would even dig their peach trees into their homes. ”

"Hahaha!" Li Shimin laughed loudly, pointed at Han Yue and said: "You kid has a big heart, not only to swallow the grassland, but also to include the eastern and western regions, well, I am waiting for the day when you succeed." ”

Han Yue sighed, the emperor's words seemed to have a hidden meaning, he is not the impulsive boy he was now, and he will not answer some words if he is killed.

Not only can I not answer it, but I also have to think about changing the topic. Han Yue's eyes rolled, and he pretended to be immature and laughed, "Your Majesty, you won't be angry anymore now." The minister has explained clearly, we stopped you for the overall situation......"

Li Shimin was slightly stunned, and then laughed bitterly.

"Stinky boy, this time it's my mistake!"
