The sentence full of warning also proves that he agrees with Li Wenhao's strategic intention. As long as the grassland is blocked, in the future, regardless of whether the world belongs to the Tang Dynasty or not, the enemies that our Central Plains nation will face will only come from the sea. , or where in Nanzhao.

To put it bluntly, as long as we don't close our doors, we haven't seen anyone who dares to invade us.

"Of course I know it in my heart." Li Wenhao flipped over a carp on the ground, picked up a piece of sauced beef on the table, and took a bite, "Old man, you have never been to the Western Regions, you don't understand. , that is the holy land, so the holy land should have some holy land cards."

"This is the reason why you spend hundreds of thousands of captives at the expense of people and money?"

"if not?"

"Old man, let's not talk about money or not. Those things are dung. Our Tang Dynasty is not short of money. Let me ask you, are you happy if you turn the grassland into a back garden?"

"At that time, as long as the defense line of the new Great Wall is defended, just like the old Great Wall, then the entire grassland will have no worries."

"I understand what you said, but the courtiers..."

"They, they just deserve to be beaten up. Leave it to me. I'll go see Uncle and Fang Du first. By the way, there's also Wei Zheng, the flat-headed brother."

Li Wenhao shook his head helplessly. Wei Zheng, a flat-headed brother, doesn't eat rice, oil or salt. It will take a lot of effort to get rid of him.

Chapter 434

"Don't go to see me in private, I'll call them over!"

"I want to see how you can convince them."

Li Shimin's words were full of jokes, as if he was very happy to see Li Wenhao make a fool of himself.

But actually...

He was afraid that Li Wenhao would use some shady means, at least with him here, Li Wenhao could restrain himself a bit, and the eldest grandson, Fang Du, including Wei Zheng, could give him some face.

Poor parents!

What's even more pitiful is that Li Wenhao doesn't seem to understand it at all. He really doesn't know his parents' kindness if he doesn't raise a child.

In less than an hour, the eldest grandson, Fang Du, and Wei Zheng all arrived at the main hall, but the main hall is a bit...

"Your Majesty, you..."

"It's okay, we two had a drink!"

Li Shimin waved his hand indifferently, found a clean place to do it directly, a few people glanced at Li Wenhao, saw Li Wenhao's disheveled hair, and guessed most of what happened here.

How do you say something?

Bitten tofu in brine, one thing falls one thing, how can Li Wenhao be invincible in the world, his father wants to beat him, it is not easy to catch.

"I don't know how many of us His Majesty is looking for, what's the matter?"

As soon as Wei Zheng saw Li Wenhao here, he already guessed Li Shimin's purpose in looking for them, so his words were all stabbing.

No way, in Datang, the only one who dared to shake Li Shimin's face was Wei Zheng.

And they are still being righteous, but you, Li Shimin, are the ones who do you wrong, and you don't have any face at all.

"Of course something happened!"

As soon as Li Shimin spoke up, Wei Zheng started talking.

"If it's about His Highness the Crown Prince's large-scale construction, it goes without saying that the minister will not agree to it. How is His Highness the Crown Prince's move different from that of Emperor Sui Yang?"

"Desperate for quick success and quick profit, waste of money and waste of money, can't His Royal Highness see that the entire Tang Dynasty is now starving and dying everywhere, with corpses everywhere?"

Wei Zheng roared angrily.

Now it was Li Shimin's turn to be stunned.

Let's not talk about Wei Zheng's personality, let's be straightforward, but Wei Zheng has an advantage, he never tells a lie, but he is hungry and dead everywhere, and Li Shimin and others really don't understand.

"Wait, Master Wei, when did my Tang Dynasty starve to death and corpses litter the fields?"

Li Wenhao saw that Wei Zheng's words were getting worse, and he didn't care about being polite, so he hurriedly asked.

"Your Highness pretending not to know?"

"Chang'an rebelled, Li Chengye burned grain and grass, and the price of grain in Guanzhong skyrocketed to ten times the original value. The people can only live on grass roots and bark every day. You can't see such a day?"

"Or do you mean you don't want to see it on purpose?"

"Transfer the center of Datang to Hebei, and then abandon the people of Limin in Guanzhong?"

Wei Zheng stood directly in front of Li Wenhao, his mouth was like a watering can, pouring love into Li Wenhao's face, which made Li Wenhao dare not even put his head on the table. He asked Wei Zheng, "Master Wei, where did you hear about this drama?"

"I heard? Do you still need to hear?"

"Are you all blind when you are a courtier?"

"Don't His Royal Highness know that you have already emptied the entire Yuyang warehouse and half of Fanyang warehouse?"

"If it wasn't for lack of food, why would you use the two large warehouses in Yuyang and Fanyang?"

"You know, this is the last foundation of my Great Tang wartime."

After listening to Wei Zheng's words, Li Wenhao finally came to his senses. After a long time of quarreling, Wei Zheng finally decided that Wei Zheng transported food to Chang'an through him, and added some rumors from there.

Although it is said that spreading rumors is against the law, Wei Zheng has good intentions after all, but his news is a bit outdated.

Besides, Fanyangcang and Yuyangcang were used as reserves during the war, that was because of the three conquests of Goguryeo during the Sui Dynasty, as for now...

On the surface, Yuyang Cang and Fan Yangcang are still very important, but what is really important now is definitely not here.

The place where Li Wenhao's granary was stored was unexpected to kill these people.

He directly placed the granaries in the mountains, dug caves, and appointed heavy soldiers to guard them. This is the final heritage of Datang. As for the two granaries, to put it bluntly, how much grain can he hold when he is big?

And it's not the grain and grass saved by Li Wenhao. The grain and grass that can be seen with the naked eye on Hebei Road alone are enough to feed the entire Tang Dynasty for at least two years.

"Wei Zheng, it is true that my allocation of grain to the west has something to do with Li Chengye's rebellion, but it has little to do with it. My main purpose of mobilizing grain is to crack down on those illegal grain merchants, and the other thing is that the captives I captured want to eat. "

"Then since His Highness knows that they want to eat, why do you let them go to work?"

Wei Zheng asked reluctantly.

"If I don't work, I'll feed them for nothing? Ordinary farmers who have a dog know how to take care of the house?"

"What's wrong with me making them work? It's only natural that I killed them. They should thank me for giving them this opportunity to forgive their sins."

Li Wenhao curled his lips. He doesn’t have the great harmony of the literati. In his eyes, people who are not my race must have different hearts. If it weren’t for the fact that the Han people have been in contact with the prairie people for too long, and the prairie people already have a trace of the habits of the Han people. In addition to the situation at that time, it is true that the grassland cannot be wiped out. You can see whether Li Wenhao will do anything.

Li Wenhao is an out-and-out racist, a Han Chinese advocate, and when it comes to this, he is crazier than Yuan Capital.

"They're human too..."

"That's right, so I didn't kill them and let them go to work. After all, animals can't build the Great Wall."

Li Wenhao said indifferently.

"How much food will it cost to build the Great Wall?"

Wei Zheng argued hard.

"Money and food are the affairs of the household department. You belong to Yushitai, so this is out of your control."

Li Wenhao really didn't want to fight Wei Zheng, a flat-headed brother, to the end, so he blocked his way with one sentence.

"The role of the Yushitai is to monitor the officials and correct the wrong decisions of the court. In my opinion, the decision of His Highness the Crown Prince is wrong, and it will push the Great Tang Dynasty to its end."

It's all right now, originally Li Shimin wanted to ask everyone to come over to discuss, but now he has directly turned into Wei Pingtou angry at Prince Yong.

"You said to push the Great Tang Dynasty to its end, so let me ask you, did I let the people build the Great Wall instead of farming?"

"Am I disregarding people's livelihood?"

"I still spent all of Datang's money? Since you said you belonged to Yushitai, then go to the treasury and the internal treasury tomorrow to see if I have spent any money?"

"I work in Hebei Road, when did I use your pointers, am I short of money?"

"You're just like those short-sighted people who don't understand the benefits this will bring to my Tang Dynasty in the future."

"Lu Wenzhao, roll over with the map."

The angry Li Wenhao didn't hold back anymore, he pointed at Wei Zheng's nose and cursed like a shrew.

"I'm from Yushitai, and I'm not the prime minister. I'm only in charge of supervision,..."

Wei Zheng is also a bachelor, with his hands spread out, as if you don't want to, anyway, I just don't agree.

"Okay, okay, Wei Zheng, I will make you stubborn, I will make you the hardest, I will let you how to say what you say today, and how to swallow it for me."

"Lu Wenzhao, bring me all the money and rations and the sympathy list of those who died in the battle between Hebei Province and Datang in the past few years. Hurry up!"

"Here!"

Far away, Lu Wenzhao replied, and rushed towards Cen Wenwen in a hurry, thinking in his heart, what happened to Wei Zheng today, so he couldn't stop and stop, and he insisted on making His Royal Highness unhappy.

His Royal Highness finally came back, why is Wei Zheng so ignorant?

After a while, Lu Wenzhao came to Li Shimin with a few people and a thick notebook.

"Your Highness, here are the things."

"Where to put it, let Master Wei take a good look at it, just the last time Goguryeo violated the border, how many people died and how much money was spent on the war."

"Let him see how many brothers we lost and how much money we spent in the first battle to quell the Turks."

"Every day, just looking at the little profit in front of me, let me ask you, is that money not spent there, waiting for cubs?"

"If you put money in the treasury, can you have a son?"

Li Wenhao was also furious, picked up the wine glass angrily, sat on Li Shimin's dragon chair and drank it, not paying attention to the eyes of several people.

"you……"

"You... you..., you dare to be a dragon chair, do you want to rebel, His Royal Highness?"

hiss!

After listening to Wei Zheng's words, several people knew that this matter was serious. Usually, they didn't know what kind of father and son Li Wenhao and Li Shimin were. Everyone tacitly understood that the relationship between father and son was good after all, but if Wei Zheng said this clearly today, there would be a problem.

Moreover, after Wei Zheng finished speaking, he realized that he had caused trouble.

pat!

The jug in Li Wenhao's hand hit Wei Zheng's head directly.

"Where do I sit, do you want to take care of me?"
