At the end of the year, envoys from all over the country also arrived in the capital one after another.
Even the Xuanfu envoys, the Grand Governors, the Governors, and the Assassins of the Northern Provinces also arrived.
It is customary for the envoys to visit the prime ministers in Beijing.
The threshold of the Li family's gate has been trampled by these feudal officials for a period of time.
In the Chinese New Year's Eve, Li Jing and Li Ji, the military duo of the Tang Empire and the twin heroes of the north, also came to visit together.
After making a pot of tea and chatting a few words, the two also began to put forward the purpose of their visit, they wanted Li Chao to support their plan to attack the Turks next year.
Li Jing is very tall, not the kind of burly man with a tiger's back and a wolf's waist, but more slender, wearing a brocade robe, he is actually fifty-five years old, but more like an old scholar is better than a border marshal.
Compared with his brother-in-law Zhang Zhongjian, Li Jing looks much older.
His face was full of wrinkles and his beard was a little gray.
In Li Jing's words, he used to be a general in Daibei for many years, and then he fought for half his life, and he went around to fight, so he inevitably grew old faster.
Li Jing is also a late bloomer, he became famous at a young age, and was called a military wizard by his uncle Han Baohu, a famous general of the Great Sui.
At the age of sixteen, he became the Gongcao of Chang'an County.
But since then, he has not been in the official career, the official position is not high, and he is an official position like a member of the military department, until more than 40 years, he was appointed as the commander of the army.
What really made Li Jing famous in the military circles was after joining Li Tang, as Li Xiaogong's deputy, in a series of wars in the southeast of Dingding, he showed his skills, won many battles, and broke through.
Then, he was recommended by Li Chao, and was awarded the title of Governor of Hedong Province by the emperor in the new dynasty, and twice joined forces with Li Ji to attack the Turks, and achieved remarkable victories.
More and more let the name of the Tang God of War spread.
Li Ji, the god of war who is known as the three gods of the Tang military circle along with Li Chao and Li Jing, is just thirty this year.
In the year of its establishment, Li Ji, who is twenty-five years younger than Li Jing, has no lower merit status than Li Jing, and even in Datang's qualifications, it is even a few points higher.
When Li Jing was not knighted, Li Ji surrendered to the Tang Dynasty with Li Mi's territory, and both father and son were crowned princes.
Since then, on the battlefield in Henan and Hebei, although he has lost several battles and been captured, because of his loyalty to the Tang Dynasty, he has won the trust of Li Tang, especially in the situation at that time, this Henan general with territory and soldiers in his hands is very important, and the imperial court is not waiting to treat it idly.
It's just that there was no direct support for Li Shimin's seizure of the heir, which made him fail to gain the trust of Li Chao and others at the beginning of the new dynasty.
However, it was only thanks to Li Chao's support that he was able to continue to defend one side.
Now, with his real achievements, he can be regarded as standing firm among the generals of the new dynasty.
Today, the god of war and the god of war came to find the god of war, and the three gods gathered together, not to discuss the art of war and discuss a battle formation or something.
After a bit of chatter, the two went straight to the point.
If nothing else, they just want to persuade Li Chao to support them in counterattacking the Turks next year.
The second Li is in Hedong and the other is in Hebei, which is at the forefront of the fight against the Turks.
Now the Turkic civil strife, dog-eat-dog has been fighting for more than half a year, and the winner has not yet been decided.
Last time, Er Li crossed the Great Wall and entered the Yin Mountain, only robbing the sheep population for many years, and as a result, he was asked by the imperial court to withdraw his troops.
After withdrawing to the Great Wall, after watching the drama for half a year, Er Li was a little impatient.
Civil strife in the north, what a good opportunity to fight.
They also knew that this year's imperial court was eventful, and the disaster in the north was serious.
But because of this, the more you should send troops to the Turks. took advantage of the Turkic civil strife to rob his mother fiercely. robbed their cattle, robbed their sheep, robbed their camels, and robbed them of their jerky.
The Tang Dynasty has more than 100,000 soldiers and horses on the northern border, and if there is a war, at least it can always be fed by war, self-sufficient, and there is no need for the imperial court to supply it anymore If you don't grab it, you won't have a good time next year.
The north is dry, and it is difficult to land on the border.
I only rely on my own grazing, so how can I go and grab it directly.
The key is that it is easy to grab now, and if it is difficult to grab, they will not say this.
Li Chao is not the secretary of the Ministry of War, but Li Chao is the left servant of the school book, Pingzhangshi, one of the prime ministers of the political hall, or the prince and the prince, and the prince Zhan Shi, who is deeply trusted by the emperor.
They know very well that Li Chao, who is just twenty-five years old this year, is a young man who is not like a man of words, who looks more like a rich son, but is actually in the center of the empire and speaks very influentially.
They even understand that most of Datang's external strategies in the past two years are actually from Li Chao's hands.
Li Chao said that if he fights, the emperor will consider it carefully.
If Li Chao said that he would not fight, the emperor would also listen to his opinion.
Just like the last time Shuofang, Li Chao said that he wanted to fight, and the emperor finally gave him power, and all the northern provinces of the Tang Dynasty were ready to fight.
As a result, Li Chaolin went to war and said that he would not fight, and the emperor finally canceled the order to fight.
Li Jing held the Li family's delicate white porcelain cup, "This is how the white porcelain produced in Xingjiao is so thin, white and blue, and the quality is very good." ” Li Chao said with a smile, "I invited the old cellar master from Hebei, and then in Xinping County, Raozhou, Jiangnan West Road, I built a new cellar to burn porcelain there, and there is good porcelain clay there."

Our craftsmen attracted the advantages of southern celadon and northern white porcelain to create a new variety of porcelain, which is this green and white porcelain. ” Porcelain is a sharp tool for export, and Li Chao has long had the idea of porcelain.
At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, there were two major cellars of porcelain, the white porcelain of Xingjiao in Hebei Province, and the celadon of Yuejiao in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, each with its own strengths and was very famous.
But Li Chao knows very well that Jingdezhen is the most famous porcelain capital in Chinese history, and Jingdezhen's porcelain is the most famous and largest amount of export.
Jingdezhen blue and white porcelain is crystal moist, has the reputation of fake jade, and has been exported to Europe in large quantities.
Li Chao invited many porcelain craftsmen from Xingjiao in Hebei Province and Yuyao in Yuyao in Zhejiang Province to build porcelain cellars in the location of Jingdezhen in the south of Changjiang, Raozhou, Jiangxi Province.
Now the place where the Qingbai porcelain cellar is located has also flourished because of this, and has become a new town, and Li Chao also named Jingdezhen.
Li Jing looked at the jade-like green and white porcelain cup in his hand, and sighed in his heart that Li Chao was demonic.
On the one hand, they are more and more determined to persuade Li Chao and support their plan to use troops next year.
"Wen Yuan is really good at everything, he is proficient in everything, not only is he like a god, but he is also so powerful in business transactions."
Li Ji said with a smile, a junior in his eyes back then, but now he has reached the height he needs to look up to.
"Shopping malls are also like battlefields, in fact, they are all things that can be done in one way.
Come, try this Wuyi Mountain big red robe made by my tea house.
This is a high-quality oolong tea, good quality, look at the soup color, orange and yellow, bright orange and yellow, red and green leaves.
The aroma is rich and orchid-like, high and long-lasting.
This tea is the most refreshing, can eliminate fatigue, diuretic, detoxification and disease prevention, eliminate food and get tired.
And this tea is also resistant to brewing, and a pot of tea is still fragrant after brewing seven or eight times. ” "However, if you want to taste the big red robe, you must drink it slowly in a small pot and a small cup of gongfu tea, so that you can truly taste the charm of rock tea."
Li Chao is the leader of the tea tasting trend in this era, in the past, people sencha and tea added various condiments.
Li Chao brought the process of roasting tea, and even divided the tea flavor into various teas such as red, green, green, yellow, white, and black flowers according to the process, and the way of drinking tea was also changed to brewing.
Now the rich and noble people drink tea, and they have long changed to make tea, which alone makes Li Chao very proud, and he has changed the history of ancient Chinese tea.
To drink oolong tea in winter, of course, it has to be kung fu tea.
Li Chao also brought this set of kung fu tea, the Li family has a maid who specializes in making gongfu tea, and her skills have long been better than the blue, watching her make tea, it is really as pleasing to the eye as watching a dance.
"I knew that Wenyuan was particular about eating and drinking, but I didn't expect to be so particular, drinking a pot of tea, and there are so many famous halls."
Li Jing sighed, and he didn't know if this was a compliment or something.
But Li Chao took it as a compliment.
This is not called luxury and corruption, but the pursuit of life.
When people are full of food and drink, they are no longer just satisfied with food and clothing, they will pursue a better quality of life, want to eat exquisitely, and dress more beautifully, which is human nature.
A tea, what a big industrial chain it contains.
Planting tea, picking tea, roasting tea and selling tea, the people planted tea to increase their income, the imperial court collected tea tax to increase taxes, merchants sold tea to increase profits, and the people drank tea, but also improved the quality of life.
Many things are closely related, the wind of tea drinking is flourishing, tea is planted more, and even becomes an important export product, and it also drives the prosperity of foreign trade, and even tea sets and other industries.
A piece of tea may seem small, but it is actually very important.
"This tea does taste good, give me 100 catties."
Li Ji said with a smile.
"One hundred and ten catties, you really think this is a knife tea sold to the Turks, I can give you a thousand catties of knife tea, ten thousand catties is not a problem, then the tea leaves are picked with a knife anyway, how many or how many are needed.
But this is the big red robe of Wuyi Mountain, not much in a year.
If you want, I'll give you two catties at most, it's really not too much.
And if you want this tea, you have to send two maids over and ask my tea maid to teach her how to make kung fu tea. ” Li Jing was easy to speak, "Then give me two catties." ” Li Ji said, "Wen Yuan, you used to call me Uncle Li, this relationship is worth two catties of big red robes."
"Now I also call you uncle, but it's only two catties."
Li Chao refused to let go.
There are many Li family tea houses, all kinds of tea, and the brand of Li family tea is done, but the output of all kinds of good tea is really not high.
Li Ji smiled, "Okay, since you don't want to give more tea, then you can compensate your Uncle Li with other compensation."
You can mention the plan to attack the Turks next year in the government hall for us, and you can support this matter a little more. ” "Uncle Li, you are waiting for me here, I will study that matter carefully, and then write an excerpt and take it to the political hall to discuss it with the prime ministers and Your Majesty."
Li Chao replied very happily.
This promise was refreshing, which surprised Li Ji and Li Jing.
The reason why they came to the Li family was because they had all gone through many tricks before and proposed a plan to use troops.
But every time it sinks into the sea.

I came to Li Chao this time, hoping to get his support and use his influence.
Unexpectedly, Li Chao really responded without saying a word. t1706231537:
