Chapter 58

After personally joining hands, Concubine Wei sent her to the "Furong Pavilion" and watched her figure leave. Li Shi turned around and re-entered into the Furong Pavilion, saying with displeasure: "I have seen the brief summary of this chapter submitted by Cui Qing's family, but there is a conclusion in the Political Affairs Hall. I also deeply believe that your family is dedicated to serving the court. I praise you for your loyalty, but there is no need to discuss this matter again."

Hearing Li Shi sealed his words, Cui Po's heart skipped a beat. After taking advantage of the opportunity to get up and calm his thoughts, he started to speak: "All the ministers in the Political Affairs Hall are all important officials in the court who are old and conspiring to the country. Since they have discussed and rejected the memorials of the ministers, it must be that the ministers' memorials are still very detailed." After his words, Li Shi's face suddenly sootheed a little, but he was inevitably surprised. He didn't understand why Cui Po, who had always been tough, would make concessions so easily this time.

He was still thinking about it, but he heard Cui Po, who was standing, turn the tone and continue, "I just want to ask Your Majesty, what is the best way to determine the victory or defeat of the army when the two armies are determined?"

His sudden question only made Li Shi slightly stunned. The first thing that came to his mind was the four words "strong soldiers and generals". However, after thinking about it carefully, he realized that this was not the case. As the war began, the levels involved were too broad, and it was difficult to describe them all in a hurry. So he did not answer, but only signaled Cui Po to continue speaking with his eyes.

This situation was originally in Cui Poyi, and he continued: "No matter how the war is condemned and the generals are set, the origin depends on the hearts of the people. The four words of money and grain. The people's hearts determine the end of the war, and there have been many discussions in the past dynasties. This dynasty also had His Majesty Taizong's saying "carrying boats and capsizing boats", so the little ministers would not say more here. However, the word "money and grain" is related to the success or failure of the battle of the four towns, and it is particularly important. It is really not to be looked at by it." When Li Shi heard the word "four towns", he really looked bright, and Cui Po was shocked and raised a three-point spiritual detail: "When the two armies fight together, this battle is actually a sea of ​​gold and silver. Without money and grain, it is difficult for the army to take a step, let alone drive the soldiers ahead to fight bloody battles? The court and the four towns

In comparison, the area is dozens of times larger; the population is even hundreds of thousands of times higher, but why do you sit and see it as domineering and despise the court? In addition to various reasons, the ministers think that the most important thing is that the imperial court's Taifu treasury is empty and there is no way to fight. With such a lack of money and food, even if your Majesty is forced to summon the lord and his morale is low, the ending is worrying. If the court has a lot of money and food, the strategy of recruiting troops in Jinzhou will be implemented by the ministers, and the old and weak in the army will be restored to the current army, and the young and strong in all directions will be recruited to join the army. If the battle with the four towns is not so fast, the battle with them will be small and few, and it will be difficult to supplement. If this is consumed for a long time, it will be impossible to succeed. If the battle between the four towns is to suppress a lieutenant general, and there is no need for the court to worry again."

If the Emperor had just interrupted his interest in the West Neiyuan, he was slightly angry. When he heard Cui Po's words and the four words "pacifying the four towns", Li Shi suddenly became very excited and completely forgot about the unhappiness just now. He had long been talking to his confidant ministers in the Political Affairs Hall, the reply that he would definitely be "please ask Your Majesty to be forbearing for a while." No one was willing to talk to him about this matter in depth, which made him very depressed. Therefore, when he heard what Cui Po said, he felt extremely relieved. Regardless of whether what he said was correct, just this thought of not forgetting to destroy the four towns at all times was enough to make Li Shi, who was "unable to find a soulmate" in great aware that Li Shi had a greater affection for Cui Po.

He stretched out his right finger and gently hit Shi on his side for a long time. After carefully thinking about what he said in his heart, Li Shi slowly looked up at Cui Po, saying, "The Cui Qing family has been in office for a short time. It is really rare to have this insight. It is just that Anshi rebelled for eight years, and now that people's livelihood is in decline, how can the court have sufficient military resources? Could it be that he just rely on what Qing family said about 'the maritime tax and trade affairs'?"

Hearing the emperor's teasing words, before Cui Po could answer, a little yellow gate, who was serving Yu Ting, couldn't help but sneer and laughed softly. When Li Shi heard the sound, he immediately put away the smile on his face and stared at him with a cold look. Just when the little yellow gate could not bear the invisible pressure and wanted to kneel down and beg for mercy, Li Shi waved his hand slightly and said, "Come on! Pull this gull slave down to me, so that the people in the palace can learn the rules." Although the words were light, he did not say how much he wanted to fight. This decree seemed to be to kill the little yellow gate.

Cui Po learned that during the more than 20 years of reign of Emperor Emperor, although he favored high-ranking eunuchs with professional qualities around him, he was the most merciless to these little yellow sects and often killed them. However, when he saw this with his own eyes, he clearly felt a different feeling. Although he had no good feelings for the little yellow sect, he could not help but turn his head to look at him when he heard the screams of begging for mercy sounded beside him. Li Shiyan, who seemed to be nothing on his face, said: "Your Majesty has not been long since he ascended the throne, and you should show the world with kindness. Besides, there is nothing wrong with this little yellow sect. It is just that the emperor shows some punishment. Killing is ominous. I also ask Your Majesty to keep him a life."

"Oh! When did the top scholar in Cui Qing's family have such a bodhisattva heart? It's rare. If you can make my beloved concubine smile today, I will be able to make you a reward." Li Shi said with a laugh, and turned his head to the small yellow gate behind him, saying, "Go, pass on my will and fight thirty years. If this dog slave can survive, he will be punished to be a servant in the Shangyi Bureau of the Palace."

Seeing the little yellow gate leaving quickly, Cui Po gave another tribute and thanked him, he took the topic and said, "What Your Majesty said is exactly. If everything said in the memorial of the minister is implemented, at first, it will be able to bring back more than four million chunks of income to the court every year, and then it will increase further. This alone is enough to support the court's fees for pacifying the rebels in the four towns."

After the words were finished, he saw that Li Shi was slightly stunned and did not respond. Cui Po knew that he would have no intention of not believing, so he calmed down and explained to him carefully: "The Han Dynasty's authority was in the northwest, so the northwest called China Han; while our dynasty ruled China to the southeast, so the barbarians called China Tang. The daily usage was mostly Tang costumes, Han laws, etc. From this, the secrets of this dynasty relationship with the countries in the southeast sea were found. My husband found out that it was now

There were more than 100,000 long-term foreign merchants in Guangzhou, Lingnan Road. When I was assisting the Menxia Province, I also consulted the memorial of the Lingnan Jiedushi in the tenth year of Tianbao. Among them, there were "There are Brahmins, Persians, Kunlun ships in the sea, and there were countless ships; they also carried incense, medicine, treasures, and they were stored like mountains. The Lion Kingdom, the Dashi Kingdom, the Bone Tang Kingdom, the Baiman Kingdom, the Chiman Kingdom, etc., and there were many types of trade in Lingnan. This shows the grand occasion of the sea trade in Lingnan."
