Chapter 392: The Great War is Coming
Ma Zhou's cerebellum doesn't seem to be very developed, a set of boxing techniques took a day to learn, when Li Hao came out of Chang'an City, it was already twilight, Li Hao rushed all the way home, and called Du Hong, and asked him to inform the person in charge of the business to come to see him tomorrow, he had something important to explain, and then he had dinner, sleep, and the day passed.
There was nothing to say all night, and the next morning, there were many people standing in the courtyard in front of the study, such as Daddy, Hu Laohan and his wife, Hu Dashan, Hu Xiaohai, Yao Dafu, the shopkeeper of Taibai Building, and the four ruffians who were collected by Li Hao at the beginning.
Li Hao's Hou Mansion's biggest business is now glass, tea and daily necessities, that is, toothpaste and soap, the original toothpaste and soap business was released to the eldest grandson's family, but the eldest grandson Wuji and Li Hao have no relationship with each other now, Li Hao took back the toothpaste and soap business, leaving only a perfume business to the eldest grandson's family, the eldest grandson Wuji dared to be angry and did not dare to speak, if he dared to chirp with Li Hao again, the perfume business was gone.
Originally, the spirits business was the largest, but the spirits business was contracted to Cheng Biting Jin, and now it has been Cheng Chumo taking care of it, Li Hao can sit and wait for dividends, and the Cheng family also has a set of spirits business, at least at present, the annual input of spirits has reached 800,000 yuan, which is still the income after Li Hao asked to lower the price of spirits, after all, now that the production of spirits has increased, it is not suitable to sell at such a high price.
The persons in charge of Li Hao's various businesses are here, lined up in a neat row, like military training, Li Hao stood in front of them, Shi Na stood beside Li Hao, Li Hao glanced at them, and said loudly: "Let me introduce to you, this one next to Ben Hou is Mr. Shi Najie from Persia in the Western Regions." ”
Shi Najie smiled and saluted the people present: "Hello everyone. ”
The rest of the people also saluted Shi Najie one after another.
Li Hao continued: "Shi Najie is specially invited back by Ben Hou, today, Ben Hou announced the establishment of Li Business Group, all the business you are responsible for belong to the Li Group's name of the industry, Ben Hou is the largest shareholder of Li Group, that is, the boss, Shi Najie, will be the second shareholder of Li Group, accounting for one percent of the shares, today, Ben Hou announced the appointment of Shi Najie as the general manager of Li Group, and has the right to manage and supervise all commercial projects under the name of Li Group, I hope you will cooperate with Shi Najie's work. ”
Everyone bowed together: "Yes!" ”
Li Hao turned his head to Shi Najie and said, "Shi Najie, you are newly appointed, say a few words." ”
"Yes." Shi Najie nodded, then faced everyone, and said, "I can be so valued by Hou Ye, Shi Najie is honestly afraid, but now that he is in this position, he must be worthy of Hou Ye's trust, I hope you will support more in the future and cooperate well, Shi Najie is new to the city, and he is not familiar with all the business of the Li Group, so I hope that from tomorrow, you can bring the business accounts you are responsible for to the Hou Mansion for me to read, by the way, I will also take the time to go to the field to investigate, and then formulate the development plan of the Li Group." ”
Shi Najie turned his head to look at Li Hao and said, "Master Hou, I'm done." ”
Li Hao nodded and asked everyone, "Do you understand?" ”
"Understood."
Li Hao smiled and said, "Then hurry up and go back and prepare, otherwise how will I report to General Manager Shi tomorrow." ”
So everyone went back and started to summarize their work.
In the afternoon, Du Hong came to report that the school was completed, just five miles east of the previous special forces training base, Li Hao went to take a look, it was not bad, the construction and decoration were in place in one step, even the tables and chairs were done, and the sports facilities were also complete.
The next thing is to recruit students, the first batch of students, Li Hao plans to recruit those under the age of twelve, and the age should not be too big, because the teaching teacher is his four students, and the oldest of these four students is only fifteen years old, so they can only teach younger students, otherwise it will be difficult to deter students.
Li Hao asked Du Hong to post notices in the surrounding villages and towns and Lantian County, requiring them to be written very clearly, and also indicating on the notices that Confucianism would not be taught and that the imperial examination would not be assisted.
Although Li Hao said on the notice that the students who came out of the school did not take the imperial examination, there were still many people who came to sign up, because Li Hao's tuition fees were cheap, and the civilian family could still afford it, and when he encountered a poor family, he could be in arrears of tuition, and when the students grew up, they could make money and pay it back slowly, which is too humane, for the common people, they don't expect their children to be able to take the imperial examination, after all, it is too far away, but they hope that their children can be literate, so it is already very good, As a result, the number of students enrolled has reached more than 800 people.
This number far exceeded Li Hao's expectations, there are not enough teachers, fortunately, Li Hao has prepared a large classroom, a class of 100 people, divided into eight classes, four classes in the morning academic class, afternoon physical education class, the other four classes in the afternoon academic class, afternoon physical education class.
On the eighth day of July, Zhenguan Junior High School was officially established and began to hold classes, Li Hao personally taught physical education, teaching them some sports, horizontal bar, parallel bars, badminton, martial arts and the like.
In just half a month, these students love this school, except for the Chinese class to learn Chinese characters is a little boring, other academic classes are so interesting, the teacher did some very interesting things for them, the teacher called it an experiment, physical education class, they learned a lot of games and sports, they are still children, they like interesting things, so they look forward to coming to school every day.
Li Hao was very busy and couldn't be a physical education teacher all the time, so he asked Chen Laosan and several nursing homes to take turns as physical education teachers, and he himself took advantage of his free time to go to various classrooms to listen to the lectures and see how the four students he brought out were doing after being teachers.
Not to mention, these four guys have a strong ability to imitate, completely imitating their own way of lecturing, that is, entertaining, even boring math classes can be taught colorfully, Li Hao is suddenly full of confidence in the future of Datang, these 800 students will represent the rise of Datang in the new era.
Half a month after the start of the class, Li Hao asked his four students to report to him, and then pointed out the things that need to be improved in their teaching, and then urged them to teach students at the same time, their academic research should not be left behind, and people need to make continuous progress.
Lu Yun left with four hundred craftsmen and went to Liuqiu Island, where they were needed.
Li Hao had just sent away Lu Yun and four hundred craftsmen, and the new Western Turkic Khan of the West, Yibi Shekui Khan, convened his ministers to discuss the matter, because some time ago the Tibetan envoys came and said that they would form an alliance with them and wait for the opportunity to attack the Tang Dynasty.
Yibi Shekui Khan is an ambitious person, he has not been on the throne for a long time, so far he has not made an inch, he is afraid that someone will be quite dissatisfied with him, now Tubo took the initiative to make friends, he is very happy, with Tubo this ally, he suddenly became bold, summoned the ministers to discuss whether to attack Tang Yizhou again, and get back the face of the former Khan in Tang Yizhou.
The Western Turkic Rangers became a country, some people suspect that they are the previous life of the Mongols, anyway, they are naturally warlike, as soon as this proposal came out, many generals immediately agreed, but most of the Wenchen were opposed, this time, there was another military general who objected, this person is the only female general of the Western Turks, Dili Larna.
Dililarna knew that the combat power of the Tang Army was terrible, when the previous khan was going to launch a war against Yizhou, she was in prison, so naturally she could not object, and now that she was released from prison and reinstated, she naturally could not watch the new khan do stupid things.
But Yibi Shot Kui Khan felt that although Dililarna was brave, but after all, she was a woman, and her courage was too small, so she didn't pay attention to her words at all, and insisted on going to war against the Tang Dynasty, so the Western Turkic army of 30,000 drove to the border, bypassed Tingzhou, went directly south, and attacked Yizhou City at night, due to the fog in the desert at night, and the lack of troops in Yizhou City, Yizhou was caught off guard, and finally the city fell, all 8,000 Tang troops were killed, and the people in the city suffered.
The Western Turks, in order to take revenge, plundered the city, turned around and left, and also kidnapped 20,000 Tang people and brought them back to be slaves.
After receiving the news, Guo Xiaoke, the protector of Anxi Prefecture, immediately gathered 10,000 troops to pursue the Western Turkic army, killed 3,000 enemies, and rescued tens of thousands of Tang people, but still let the Western Turkic army escape, and also plundered 10,000 Tang people.
Guo Xiaoke blamed himself and was extremely angry, and immediately wrote a military report after returning and ordered him to ride 800 miles to Chang'an.
More than 20 days later, Guo Xiaoke's recital arrived at the military department and was sent to Taiji Palace, Li Shimin slapped the table angrily after seeing the recital, the Tang Dynasty has been stable for so many years, and the national strength is already very strong, I didn't expect the Western Turks to dare to come to Tai Sui's head at this time to break ground, how could Li Shimin not be angry, and immediately ordered to convene the ministers, and hold a court meeting tomorrow to discuss the matter of sending troops.
With the strength of the country, Li Shimin feels that the sword in his hand is getting sharper and sharper, and he doesn't let anyone touch him, whoever dares to touch it, he will stab whomever he wants, stab him if he touches a hair, stab him twice when he touches two hairs, and if he dares to touch tens of thousands of people in my Datang, it will directly destroy the country.
This time Li Hao also received a notice from Li Shimin and came to participate in the court meeting, above the court meeting, Li Shimin had two words written on his face - anger, as soon as he opened, he directly threatened to launch a war of extermination against the Western Turks, and immediately several Wenchen came out to admonish, all of them were glared at by Li Shimin and scolded back, and the other Wenchen suddenly did not dare to step forward.
Li Hao looked at these old Confucians with gloating eyes, and two words quietly burst out of his mouth - they deserve it.
There is almost no suspense about the war against the Western Turks, so it is decided, and then the candidate for the expedition is decided, as soon as this topic is mentioned, everyone looks at Li Hao, Li Hao looks confused, and secretly thinks in his heart: "What's the matter, I have become a god of war?" When it comes to fighting, it's all up to me, what? ”
Ma Zhou was the first to come out and said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Li Hao, the Marquis of Lantian County, can fight well and has not tasted defeat, this battle is not trivial, and it should be led by the Marquis of Lantian County." ”
The eldest grandson Wuji came out and said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that General Su Dingfang has been on the battlefield for a long time, and his military achievements are outstanding, and he should be a veteran to launch such a big war." ”
……
Because Li Hao's character is not very good, there are not many people who support him, and some other officials also elected other generals, and even Cheng Biting Jin, an old pimple, took the initiative to ask for help.
In the end, the recommendation of the recommendation was finished, and Li Hao actually came out and said: "Your Majesty, the minister has something to say." ”
Li Shimin spread his hands and said, "Speak." ”
Li Hao said: "The minister strongly recommends Xue Li, a man from Jingyang County, Xue Rengui, if this person goes on the expedition, he can guarantee a big victory!" ”
"Oh? Xue Rengui? Li Shimin thought about it for a while, and finally remembered, and said, "But the one who led the troops with you that day?" ”
Li Hao bowed: "It's this person!" ”
