Zhao Chen is fishing on the edge of the pond. Fishing is a hobby that has never diminished since ancient times. Chinese people have three major racial talents: growing vegetables, fishing, and playing mahjong.
Moreover, this pond has been turned into an ornamental pond. There is a wooden corridor above the water, a rockery pavilion next to it, and a big tree planted next to it. In this way, when Zhao Chen is fishing, he can also Quite shady.
While we were fishing, Li Shimin came.
"Mr. Zhao, I'm so excited."
Zhao Chen raised his head and said, "Hey, why are you here in your spare time? Are you not going to build Feishan Palace?"
Li Shimin couldn't laugh or cry: "Mr. Zhao, don't make fun of me. In the entire Tang Dynasty, you are the only one who has seen through my thoughts. But Mr. Zhao, you are so cruel. You really put me in trouble by writing such an "Ode to Afang Palace" for Cheng Qian. The scolding was so bloody."
??Afang Palace Fu, if compared with the current plan to build Feishan Palace, it is really a masterpiece.
Zhao Chen blinked: "Your Majesty, what are you talking about? Why don't I know anything? I'm just fishing, so what does Afang Palace have to do with me?"
"Okay, Mr. Zhao, Cheng Qian has told you everything."
Zhao Chen rolled his eyes: "Yes, I told him repeatedly not to say it, but he still said it. Alas, the prince's mouth is not open to the public."
Li Shimin laughed.
Zhao Chen waved his hand, and Zhao Zhong and others standing next to him immediately stepped forward. Zhao Chen asked them to go to the greenhouse to get some grapes, and at the same time to get a pair of fishing rods.
Soon, the fishing rod was brought in and Zhao Chen handed it to Li Shimin.
"Come, Your Majesty, let's fish first and then talk slowly."
Li Shimin smiled and took the fishing rod: "Mr. Zhao, you are really the number one person in the Tang Dynasty who dares to let me catch carp."
"Hey, what a big deal, Your Majesty, you don't know. I don't even believe in ghosts and gods, so how can I believe in this homophony."
Zhao Chen brought the grapes to the table between the two of them again: "This is an improved grape variety, try it."
It has been more than a year now at Zhao Manor, and basically all the fruit crops cultivated before have been harvested.
Since Zhang Qian opened the Western Regions, China has had grapes, and naturally the Tang Dynasty also had grapes, but Zhao Chen¡¯s improved version tastes sweeter.
Li Shimin tasted one, and his eyes immediately lit up: "Not bad, so sweet."
Zhao Chen also smiled and said: "Glow-in-the-dark cup of fine grape wine. If you want to drink pipa, hurry up."
Li Shimin¡¯s eyes lit up: ¡°Good poem, Mr. Zhao, where¡¯s the next sentence?¡±
"The next sentence is not very good. Jun Moxiao lies drunk on the battlefield. How many people have fought in ancient times."
Li Shimin sighed: "Yes, not many people can survive a war."
"So Your Majesty, you still want to send troops?"
Zhao Chen asked casually.
Li Shimin was stunned and said with a wry smile: "Mr. Zhao, you have indeed guessed my thoughts. Xue Yantuo is connected with Goguryeo, so I have to take action first. Mr. Zhao, do you also want to persuade me?"
"Your Majesty, I won't advise you. After all, those who died are not the people of my Zhao family."
Li Shimin sighed: "If there is a better way, I don't want to start a war, but throughout the ages, war has always been the best method."
"Your Majesty, it's not that we won't launch a war, but it's not the time yet. Xue Yantuo has an alliance with Goguryeo, so this matter can be easily resolved."
"Oh? Mr. Zhao has a plan?"
"It's simple, just send your ministers to Xue Yantuo and Goguryeo to issue an edict, saying that the Tang Dynasty is going to hold a meeting of all nations, invite Xue Yantuo and Goguryeo, and send a delegation of princes to attend the meeting."
"A meeting of all nations? What kind of meeting is this?"
Zhao Chen smiled: "Your Majesty, this can also be called the World Expo. In fact, it is very simple. It is just to show off muscles. Look, we have invited the delegations from Goguryeo and Xue Yantuo. Let's hold a military parade first."
"Military parade?"
"That's right, let's show the strength of our Datang army a little first, and then do a drill. When they see the strength of our Datang army, will they act rashly?"
Li Shimin reacted: "Is this a shock?"
"Not only that, after the military parade, trade exchanges can also be carried out. Xue Yantuo's tribe is not monolithic. It can be divided into them and make some unimportant promises and benefits. In this way, the relationship between Xue Yantuo and Goguryeo , naturally it can be delayed for a few more years.¡±
"What about in a few years?"
Li Shimin asked.
Zhao Chen smiled: "In a few years, we can directly bulldoze them."
Li Shimin is thinking that Zhao Chen's method is a buffering method, and it is indeed feasible.
Zhao Chen swung the fishing rod again: "Your Majesty, one more thing is how sure you are that facing Goguryeo and Xue Yantuo at the same time, I mean, how sure are you of completely annihilating them."
Li Shimin pondered slightly: "I am sure of it, but it may take a few years."
"Has Your Majesty considered replenishing food for the rear?"
"We have considered it, so it will take a few years."
Zhao Chen nodded: "Since it will take a few years, it is better to wait a little longer, and then we will save the people of Tang Dynasty from losing their lives. I can guarantee that we will directly push Goguryeo to the same level."
This is not because Zhao Chen stopped Li Shimin, because in history, how many years did the Tang Dynasty's conquest of Goguryeo last?
The war started in 644, and ended in 670 due to various reasons. The entire war lasted for 26 years, almost a quarter of a century!
From the Zhenguan period of Li Shimin to the Tang Gaozong period of Li Zhi, Goguryeo was completely destroyed.
Li Shimin looked at the pond in front of him: "Mr. Zhao, I believe you, but I am also very curious, what will you do, Mr. Zhao?"
Zhao Chen smiled: "Okay, your Majesty, come with me. Recently, there is something new in the Zhao Manor."
Li Shimin stood up and said with a smile: "I have long wanted to visit Mr. Zhao's manor again. I don't know what new things will be available this time."
He followed Zhao Chen, got directly into the carriage, and drove towards the craftsman area.
Now Zhao Manor is almost like a small Chang'an, and it is also developing rapidly along the perimeter of Zhao Manor, so Zhao Chen re-planned the land and area, and divided the craftsman area directly from Zhao Manor. Deployed to a location three kilometers away.
Along the northwest direction of Zhao Manor, there is a newly built wide cement road that can accommodate eight carriages. The carriages rush by, and there are strong weeds on both sides of the road.
Soon, we arrived at the craftsman area.
The entire craftsman area is also huge, because Zhaofu Manor researches many things, such as glass, food processing, steel, cement, and bicycles. From a distance, this is also a very large industrial park.
As soon as he arrived at the industrial park, Li Shimin was also shocked: "Such a large area?"
"Yes, Your Majesty, the secret you are curious about is right here." (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
