As soon as Second Emperor Li finished speaking, the discussion in the Dew Palace instantly calmed down.
Wei Zheng was able to stand up and take the lead in making trouble, which made him very happy.
This Wei Zheng nagged all day long, saying that this was wrong and that was wrong. It was extremely annoying!
However, this old fellow was indeed talented. Although he was angry, he could not do anything about it!
After seeing the shocked expression on Wei Zheng's face last time, Second Emperor Li's good mood lasted for several days!
Now, the opportunity had come again!
Therefore, Second Emperor Li looked at Wei Zheng with anticipation, indicating for him to continue asking questions.
"Please enlighten me, Your Majesty." Wei Zheng said reluctantly.
He knew the current Emperor too well!
Looking at his current appearance, he was waiting to teach her a lesson to regain her dignity!
" Cough cough." Emperor Li Er cleared his throat." I'm preparing to secretly introduce Buddhism into Tubo!”
Then, he explained the plan to provoke a religious dispute in detail.
"What do you think of this technique?"
After he finished speaking, the hall was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop!
None of the ministers present were simple characters!
In terms of schemes and plots, many of them were existences at the level of ancestors!
However, the plan mentioned by Second Emperor Li still shocked them. No, their scalps went numb!!
If they really carried out this plan, the Tibetans would probably bleed like a river!
"Duke Zheng, do you have any objections?"
After looking around and seeing that no one answered, Li Er continued to ask Wei Zheng.
"Your Majesty, this method is very exquisite. I have no objections.”Wei Zheng said dryly.
At this moment, the other ministers also came back to their senses and said,
"This technique is simply amazing!"
"If this method is used, our Great Tang will once again welcome a great victory!”
"The people at the border no longer have to live in that precarious and fearful life. This is a great fortune for the country!”
"Good!"
" Alright!" Second Emperor Li was in high spirits." Since none of you have any objections, we'll start immediately!”
"In three months, We will have the cavalry of the Great Tang trample the northwest plateau!”
......
In the next few days, the entire imperial court began to operate at high speed.
All the preparations were carried out in an orderly manner.
As time passed, the news of the Tibetan envoy being killed could no longer be hidden.
The Tibetans who were traveling with him were furious when they found out about this!
They were all clamoring for an explanation from the Tang Emperor!
In their words,'The Tibetans are sincere in making peace, but the Great Tang's actions are too disappointing!”
"If we can't give them an explanation, the Great Tang will face the wrath of the Tibetans!”
His Majesty Li Er dealt with their requests simply and straightforwardly. He waved his hand!
Kill them all!
Your Tubo is almost gone, and you want our Great Tang to suffer the wrath of the heavens?
He couldn't even be bothered!
Seven days later.
Today was the day the eminent monks took the scriptures and set off.
Second Emperor Li led his ministers to personally send them off. The ceremony was quite grand.
These eminent monks had been carefully selected. Putting aside their Buddhist cultivation, just their appearance and conversation were enough to make the Tibetans dizzy!
The senior monks were also very righteous and said that they would not fail this mission. All of them left in high spirits!
After the send-off ceremony ended, Second Emperor Li came to the Political Hall in a good mood.
"Guanyin maid, everything is ready now. We just need to wait for the Tubo to stir up and the army can move out!”
"I believe that after this battle, the borders of the Great Tang will be safe!”
"Congratulations, Your Majesty! Congratulations to the Great Tang!”Empress Zhangsun smiled.
"This time, it's all thanks to Li Yun. If it weren't for his brilliant plan, the people in the west would have suffered for many more years!”
" Isn't that so?" His Majesty Li Er smiled and nodded." This clever plan came too easily. I have to thank the Tibetan envoy for angering Li Yun."”
"If he hadn't been killed, I would have rewarded him heavily!”
"I've learned this time. If there's such a tricky thing again, just lure Li Yun over. Once he gets angry, the problem will be solved!”
Empress Zhangsun covered her mouth and laughed." Your Majesty, you're exaggerating. Li Yun is such a good young talent. You're almost describing him as a demon!”
" You don't understand." Li Er waved his hand and said," That kid is very petty. Anyone who offends him will be finished!"”
"I've only entered Chang 'an twice. First, I beat up the sons of the dukes, then I killed an envoy of Tubo, and now I want to destroy the country!”
"Tell me what he did!”
There was one more thing that Emperor Li Er didn't say. He had only planned to marry the Dingxiang County Lord to a Turkic minister who had surrendered, and he had been scolded by that brat until now!
If this wasn't petty, then what was?
" Don't let Lizhi and Rizi hear your words, Your Majesty," Empress Zhangsun said with a smile." They're now Brother Li Yun, who worships them the most!”
When this matter was mentioned, Second Emperor Li had a headache!
He liked these two daughters the most. It was as if Li Yun had cast a spell on them!
In just a few days, he went to Lantian County twice. He was so happy that he didn't want to return to the palace!
"ChenQie heard Li Zhi talking about Li Yun yesterday, saying that Li Yun might be leaving for Yuhang.”Empress Zhangsun continued.
"What?" Second Emperor Li was stunned." He's running away?”
" Your Majesty, what are you saying?" Empress Zhangsun rolled her eyes at him." Lizhi said that her brother Li Yun was going to Yuhang to do something big!”
"What big deal? Didn't you say you were going to farm?" Second Emperor Li was puzzled.
"It's farming, but it's a new type of rice. The yield per mu is at least 30 stones.”Empress Zhangsun said.
"Only 30 stones?" Second Emperor Li frowned and said," Isn't the yield of the sweet potatoes he developed close to 50 dan per mu?”
"It's good to promote sweet potatoes. Why waste effort to grow this rice?”
Not to mention that it was only the early Zhenguan period, even the so-called prosperous Zhenguan period was only a few acres of land per person, and people who were not cold or hungry.”
Look at how low the standards are!
As long as they didn't freeze to death or starve to death, it would be a golden age!
Therefore, in Li Er's heart, he did not even consider whether the food was delicious or not. As long as it could fill his stomach, it was fine!
Although rice was more delicious, since there were sweet potatoes with a higher yield per mu, why waste the land to grow rice?
"Lizhi also said that Brother Li Yun's rice is harvested twice a year.”Empress Zhangsun spoke again.
"Two to three harvests a year?”
When Second Emperor Li heard this, he jumped up from his seat and asked in disbelief!
In the early years of Zhenguan, due to the sparse population in the south and the lack of farming technology, there was no rice that could be harvested twice a year. It was only until the middle and late Tang Dynasty that it began to slowly appear, so it was normal for him to be surprised.
"He said so." Empress Zhangsun nodded.
After she finished speaking, Second Emperor Li could no longer sit still. He paced around the room.
"Doesn't that mean that the yield per mu can reach 900,000 dan?!”
"This food has to be planted. It has to be planted!”Second Emperor Li said excitedly.
"Your Majesty, aren't you worried that Li Yun will run away?”Empress Zhangsun smiled.
" Let him run," Emperor Li Er said." Just leave the rice for me!”
"By the way, why haven't I seen Si Zi and Li Zhi come to pay their respects these few days?”
After his excitement, Second Emperor Li suddenly thought of his two little daughters.
"They've been very busy these two days. They've been following Li Yun around and putting up posters.”Empress Zhangsun said,
"Chenqie couldn't persuade them, so I had Li Junxian secretly protect them.”
"That little bastard Li Yun actually made my daughter work for him?”
Second Emperor Li was a little unhappy. Then, he asked curiously,
"Speaking of which, he has put up at least thousands of notices these few days. Hasn't that little bit of wealth been squandered?”
The money from selling the glass was still in the national treasury!
Li Yun didn't mention this matter, and Second Emperor Li was happy to play dumb. He would use it for a few more days if he could. When he remembered, he would send it to him.
According to the current price of paper, Second Emperor Li roughly estimated that his little family fortune should have been squandered!
Unexpectedly, Empress Zhangsun shook her head." I heard from Lizhi that he made the paper himself and didn't spend much money.”
Made by himself?
Second Emperor Li was dumbfounded again!
This kid knows how to make paper?
Looking at his posture, it seemed that the cost of making this paper was very small?!
His Majesty Li Er's breathing suddenly became rapid!
If he knew this method, wouldn't he be able to let countless poor youths study?
The reason why those aristocratic families could stand for a hundred years was because they had a huge collection of books. Only their descendants could read them!
If the price of books really dropped, the imperial examination system would no longer exist in name only!
The problem of the aristocratic families monopolizing the officials would be easily solved!
The many years of illness in the royal court would completely disappear!
Thinking of this, Second Emperor Li turned around and was about to leave!
"No, I have to ask about the method of making paper!”
However, before he could leave the room, he was pulled back by Empress Zhangsun." How can Your Majesty open this mouth?”
"Although Li Yun is generous, it is limited to things related to farming. He will not easily give others anything else.”
Hearing this, Second Emperor Li frowned and pondered for a while. Suddenly, his eyes lit up.
"Let my daughter ask!"
Speak of the devil.
Two soft greetings came from outside the house. It was Li Lizhi and Little Rhinoceros!
"Aye, Mother!"
"Aye, Mother!"
Li Er didn't bother with the small talk and said directly,
"Lizhi, can you do Aye a favor?”
"What's wrong, Aye?" Lizhi asked curiously.
"Didn't your Brother Li Yun come up with a new way to make paper?”Li Er said," Aye wants that method. Help me find out!”
Li Lizhi was stunned when she heard this, but she shook her head decisively." No!”
"Why?" His Majesty Li Er was a little surprised by her answer.
"That was Brother Li Yun's idea. If Aye knew, what would he do?”
"Brother Li Yun said that he would print some books to sell in the future. It would barely be able to subsidize the family and earn some money.”
Hearing this, Second Emperor Li almost spat out a mouthful of blood!
Earning a little money to subsidize the family?
Silly girl!
He's even richer than you, Aye!
After a few more words of persuasion, Li Lizhi still shook her head.
Second Emperor Li helplessly turned his head to look at Si Zi.
"Si Zi is the most obedient, and Aye loves you the most. Can you help Aye?”
The little rhinoceros smiled, its eyes curved into crescents.
She said softly,
"No!"
