Chapter 162 I Want To Eat Peaches I Pick Anything
Outside the room and in the yard, Li Shimin stood under a peach tree with his hands on his back.
This is a wild-haired peach. The fragrance of the world is gone in April, and the trees are covered with wild peaches the size of fingertips. The breeze blows, and the branches and leaves rust. Li Shimin suddenly reaches out and picks a hairy peach, put it on the fingertips and slowly crushes it.
"Boy, I can't pursue your fault!" The emperor looked up at the peach tree. His face was not very good, and said coldly: "But I must understand one thing, why did you stop the army from chasing Jie Li? Things on the battlefield change rapidly, and few enemy troops retreated in panic. What a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, but you ruined it for nothing..."
Han Yue took a deep breath. He did not directly answer Li Shimin, but instead asked with some advice: "Your Majesty, do you want to kill Jie Li or destroy the Turks?"
Li Shimin was slightly stunned, then snorted: "What's the difference? Jie Li is the overlord of the grassland. If you kill him, the grassland will be destroyed! Capturing the thief first is the king. This is an eternal truth..."
Han Yue shook his head slowly and retorted: "It may not be so!"
"Well? Then I'm not sure if I want to hear what this is not the case?" Li Shimin slowly turned around, with a look of exploration in his eyes.
Han Yue glanced at the emperor and suddenly pointed to the peach tree in front of him and said, "Your Majesty, if you compare this peach tree to a grassland, then the various Turkic tribes are peaches on the trees, they are densely scattered and scattered. Jie Li is at best a larger peach."
Li Shimin was stunned for a moment, his eyes fell on the peach tree in front of him, and he said lightly: "Your metaphor is a bit novel, but it is appropriate. Keep talking, I listen..."
Han Yue reached out and picked a peach from under the tree, put it in his palm and slapped it hard. The peach was smashed immediately. He threw away the peach and pointed at the peach tree again, and said sneeringly: "Your Majesty, look, even if we smashed Jie Li's peach, there were still many peaches on the tree, and there would be a big head again soon."
"Then I will pick it again and smash it again!" Li Shimin snorted coldly.
Han Yue shook his head and smiled, "I'm so tired, I'll pick it up. I'll pick it next time this time, I'll pick it next year, and when will it end."
Li Shimin suddenly looked at Han Yue with a deep meaning and smiled: "So tell me, how should this be resolved?"
"I have two ways!" Han Yue suddenly stretched out his two fingers and said lightly: "The first way is to cut off this tree with a knife."
"Cutted this tree?" Li Shimin's eyes lit up.
"Yes, cut down this tree!" Han Yue's eyes were fierce and said coldly: "The grass on Liliyuan is withered and flourishing every year, wildfires cannot be burned, and the spring breeze is blowing again. The first way to play is to cut the weeds and roots. If you want to destroy the Turks, you must use the power of pieting to sweep the grassland and kill all millions of Turks. None of them can be left..."
Li Shimin gasped!
He always thought he was cruel enough, but he didn't expect Han Yue to be even crueler than him. Not only was he cruel, but his analysis was appropriate. Listen, the wild fire could not be burned, and the spring breeze would be blown away again. Tsk tsk, the brat is so handsome and literary.
He heard Han Yue then said, "But cutting trees is a matter of hard work. If you hurt the enemy a thousand times, you will lose 800 times. One is not good, even a hatchet will break. I think a second method can be used to deal with the Turks."
"The second method? What is that..." Li Shimin became more and more interested.
Han Yue yelled, suddenly pointed to the surrounding courtyard wall, then pointed to the peach tree in front of him, and said with a wicked smile: "Of course, we transplant the peach tree to our own home. This way, we don't have to worry about the peach falling and hurting people, but we can pick any peaches in the future if we want to eat them."
"Transplant to your own home?" Li Shimin murmured, with a contemplative look on his face and said slowly: "This matter is not easy. The grassland is vast and vaster than our Tang Dynasty. Since ancient times, many capable and ambitious people have wanted to pacify the grassland, but no one has succeeded for thousands of years." He glanced at Han Yue and then said: "Even the great talent and strategy of Qin Shihuang must build the Great Wall. Emperor Wu of Han claimed that those who offend our Han Dynasty will be punished even if they are far away. In fact, they were just sending Huo Qubing to fight a raid. Although he sealed the wolf's servant, it was a local war. It was very difficult to control the grassland."
Han Yue smiled and said, "Have you forgotten the original intention of establishing a mutual market? Now my economic war has gradually shown results. From the first one to the month of selling thousands of iron pots and hundreds of bags of grain, to the day of selling tens of thousands of tea bricks and thousands of tans of salt and iron. Turkic herdsmen are increasingly dependent on mutual markets. Now they are short of supplies and are no longer willing to ride horses to grab them. Instead, they want to drive cattle and sheep to exchange them in the mutual market."
He stopped here and said solemnly: "I am constantly eliminating the wolf nature of the Turks. Your Majesty gives me another two years, and I will be able to complete this."
Li Shimin said a little worriedly: "Your strategy is very good, but I am afraid that the Central Plains will not be able to withstand it. Now, if the exchange market is in one day, it will definitely increase in the future. Not long after the founding of the Tang Dynasty, the people are not rich. If they continue to dump like this, wouldn't our wealth be emptied by the grassland?"
"How could it be!" Han Yue shouted and said with a smile: "The more developed the business, the more prosperous the industry. Your Majesty's concern is purely annoying. You can ask someone to ask, have the people become poorer and poorer since the opening of the mutual market?"
"This is exactly what I can't understand! The materials from our dynasty are pouring into the grasslands, but why are the people not poor at all? Not only are they not poor, but they are getting richer and richer." He glanced at Han Yue and said curiously: "Tell me this matter carefully. Can I understand the word business, so what does industry mean?"
"Industry is production. Your Majesty can understand it as the people farming and harvesting crops, as blacksmiths make iron pots, or as tea farmers grow tea and harvest tea bricks. In short, this industry is a very subtle industry. The more it stimulates it, the more prosperous it is, and the more it is restricted, the more it is, the more depressed it is."
Han Yue actually didn't understand these things very much. He was afraid that too much would lead to mistakes, so he quickly ended the topic and said, "So your majesty, you don't have to worry that our supplies will be hollowed out by the grassland. The more they buy, the richer we are. I hope that the daily sales of each other can exceed 100,000. If even the Western Regions and the Goryeo people come to buy, that's good. I will even dig their peach trees to my house."
"Hahaha!" Li Shimin laughed loudly and pointed at Han Yue and said, "You are so envious. You not only have to swallow the grassland, but also cover Liaodong and the Western Regions. OK, I'm waiting for the day you succeed."
Han Yue yelled, and the emperor's words seemed to have a hidden meaning. He is not the impulsive boy at the time, and he will not answer any words even if he beats him to death.
Not only can't answer, but you also have to find a way to change the topic. Han Yue turned his eyes and pretended to be immature and laughed: "Your Majesty, you won't be angry anymore. I have explained it clearly. We are stopping you for the overall situation..."
Li Shimin was slightly stunned and then smiled bitterly.
