Chapter 90: Five Policies for Determining the Country (5) "And my father, please look at the map, although the area of this Tubo country is not as good as my Tang Dynasty, the strategic location is very important."
Li Zhen took a small stick that came out of nowhere, and pointed to the national conditions around Tubo: "The southwest of Tubo is close to Tianzhu, the west is adjacent to Bolu and Dashi, the south has Jialou and Nanzhao, and the northeast has Tuyuhun, and the rest of the southeast, east, north, and northwest are all adjacent to my Tang Dynasty. ” "This means that Tubo can attack at any time and can invade my Datang from almost anywhere, while my Datang can only defend passively."
Li Shimin's face was gloomy, no matter who faced such a neighbor who could rob you at any time, he would not be in a good mood.
"Originally, in the face of this situation, we should have befriended the enemies of Tubo, such as Tuyuhun next to him, and Zhangxiong, who is still surviving, but now the child has a better way."
Li Zhen put down the wooden stick and sat upright......
Li Shimin in his arms: "Since my father has been vigilant against Tibet, he should naturally know that although Tibet is located in a high mountain, there are many brave people in the country, but the so-called advantages have disadvantages, although the mountains give them the best barrier, but they are not without weaknesses, and the father also knows that mountains, especially extremely high mountains, are generally very barren, which also represents the lack of food in Tibet."
It is true that because it is too cold, Tubo can only grow a kind of grain called barley, and the yield is not high, and the planting cost is extremely high. ” "So Zhen'er means ......"
Li Shimin somewhat understood what Li Zhen meant.
"We use sheep and people in reverse."
"The other way around?"
"Yes, isn't there a shortage of food in Tibet?
Then we will make good friends with Tibet, and at the same time send a large amount of grain into Tibet.
Li Zhen leaned on Li Shimin's chest and his eyes were half-narrowed, as if he was asleep, and muttered: "The price of grain in Tubo is very high, but the grain in Datang has been a bumper harvest in recent years, if we transport Datang's grain to Tubo for sale, and the price is about the same as the price of their local barley, naturally no one will buy barley that does not taste very good, no one will buy barley, no one will buy barley, then the people who plant barley will naturally be greatly reduced, and even no one will plant it at all, and then it will ......."
"At that time, the grain of Tubo will be completely controlled by the Tang Dynasty."
Li Shimin suddenly rejoiced: "And as long as they completely control the grain in Tibet, or even control half of the grain, it will not be their turn to decide whether Tubo is dead or alive at that time." ” "That's true."
Li Zhen closed his eyes and agreed: "However, it is best to start implementing this move in a short period of time, because according to the information of the Foreign Affairs Yamen of the Blood Dragon Guard, that Songtsen Gampo in Tubo is indeed a British lord, although he is not very old, he cannot be underestimated.
According to the inference of the Foreign Affairs Yamen, if Songtsen Gampo can have great courage, it may be possible to unify Tibet in a short period of time (in history, it took a total of three years), and then the use of this strategy will inevitably attract the vigilance and even counterattack of Songtsen Gampo, I am afraid it will be too late. ” "Of course, I have to use it, and tomorrow my father will discuss this matter with the ministers."
Li Shimin is also a decisive character, besides, this strategy has no loss to Datang, even if it fails, it will only lose some food, as long as it succeeds, it can control a country, why not do such a profitable business?
"This is the five strategies of the son, I don't know which strategy my father is going to choose?
Different decisions, different prices.
After saying the five strategies, Li Zhen suddenly became more energetic, her eyes narrowed into a slit, and she smiled like a little fox.
"Zhen'er, you will really defeat your father's interest."
Li Shimin was interrupted by Li Zhen, and said unhappily, just because you are lewd, you just poured cold water on me, you didn't do this business.
"Hehe, it's not right to be a child, but you have to think about it carefully, father."
Li Zhen has an attitude of eating you, anyway, the bait has already been laid, and she is not afraid that you will not take the bait.
"There's no hurry, Zhen'er, you wait, I'll discuss it with a few adults."
After speaking, Li Shimin said: "Wang Tingchu, Xuan Fangxiang, Du Xiang, Wei Xiang, Wang Xiang, and Wen Xiang quickly came to see me, and said that 100,000 is urgent, by the way, you go and invite it in person, and you must not let anyone know the news." ” "Yes, the slave and the maid understand, and the slave and the maid will go."
Wang Tingchu didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly retreated.
He had been serving Li Shimin just now, naturally he heard the conversation between father and son, and at the same time shocked Li Zhen's mind in his heart, Wang Tingchu also classified Li Zhen as one of the people who tried his best to please, he understood that with Li Zhen's talent, even if he couldn't be the emperor, a prince with real power couldn't run, such a person must not be offended, not only can not be offended, but also have to do his best to please.
"Then you can discuss, Erchen sleep for a while."
Li Zhen was really sleepy, and she was about to fall asleep in a daze.
Li Shimin saw that Li Zhen was a little asleep, and hurriedly rubbed Li Zhen's head: "Zhen'er, don't sleep first, after they come to the room for a while, I have to help explain it, if you sleep, I don't know so much about my father, if you don't talk about them, your careful thinking will be in vain." ” "Mm-hmm, let me sleep for a while."
Li Zhen still feels sleepy, he really overestimates his mental strength, after all, he is a child, although the soul is the soul of an adult, and he has been exercised all night in his previous life, but the physical difficulty cannot be offset by the spirit.
"Okay then, you can sleep for a while, and my father will call you later."
Looking at Li Zhenzhen's eyes that couldn't be opened, a trace of distress flashed in Li Shimin's heart.
Li Zhen is very smart, it's nothing, in fact, none of his sons are not smart, but among all the smart sons, the only sensible is Li Zhen, Li Zhen is too sensible, sensible makes people feel distressed, whether this sensible is true or pretended, it makes him happy.
"Uh-huh......"
Li Zhen muttered vaguely in her mouth, and fell asleep.
Fang Xuanling was very angry, this is normal, anyone who was just asleep after a busy day of official business was woken up again, thinking that his temper would not be too good.
However, Fang Xuanling's anger was destined not to be vented, because it was none other than Wang Tingchu, the henchman eunuch next to the emperor, who woke him up, not that Wang Tingchu was so favored by Li Shimin that even his own left minister did not dare to offend him.
It's because at this point, the person who woke him up is still the emperor's heart, and he deliberately told himself to keep it secret......
All of this indicates one thing, and that is that something big is happening, and it's going to happen urgently.
And Wang Tingchu also proved this: "The emperor specially explained that this matter is urgent, and the slaves and maids on the Xuanwu Gate have already arranged it, and the ministers will go to the palace by themselves, and the slaves and maids will go to Du Xiang's house." ” "What the hell is going on?"
Fang Xuanling put on his clothes and comforted his family, and then asked as he walked, "I didn't get any special news?"
Could it be that the war ahead has changed?

” Wang Tingchu whispered: "The specific slave doesn't dare to say more, so I can only tell Xiangye that this matter is related to His Royal Highness the Eight." ” "King Yue?"
Fang Xuanling was even more surprised, he knew Li Zhen's intelligence, and he knew it very well, but Li Zhen was too young, how much could he set off?
"Xiangye will naturally know when he enters the palace."
Wang Tingchu didn't dare to say more, this is also his way of survival, listen more, do more and talk less, which is why he was favored by Li Shimin and became the personal eunuch by his side.
"It's okay, I'll go by myself, my father-in-law (it seems that it is indeed called that, for example, Gao Lishi is called Gao Gonggong) be careful all the way."
"Xiangye, please be careful, too."
