Chapter 344 Li Zheng's distress
Li Zheng also needs to train his children. Li Shimin asked curiously: "I saw that you trained some children. You will also teach them some fighting skills? Or military tactics?"
Li Ke bowed and replied, "These are not taught."
“Why is pulling out training?”
Li Ke kept lowering his head and said, "It's just to exercise the body, perseverance and discipline of these children."
These days, Li Shimin also realized that he seemed to have neglected Li Ke, "Since you are back, you can go back and see your mother. I have other arrangements for you in the future."
"My son accepts the order." Li Ke turned around and left.
Li Shimin smiled and said to Wang Ding: "What do you think of Li Ke now?"
Wang Ding also smiled and said, "I think His Highness, the King of Shu, has grown taller again."
"Is that true?" Li Shimin looked at Li Ke's back and said, "This kid has never looked at the gold from beginning to end."
Wang Ding said: "Your Highness the King of Shu is filial and kind."
"Filial piety and brotherly love?" Li Shimin nodded slightly. Among his sons, Li Ke was the most obedient one.
Li Shimin, who was relieved, instructed Wang Ding again: "These days increase the cost of Concubine Yang."
"Here." Wang Ding nodded.
When he put the gold in front of King Li Ke of Shu, Li Shimin asked about Jingyang.
I sent a lot of people to Jingyang again, and now the turbulences in Jingyang are actually under the control of His Majesty.
Li Shimin would ask a few more questions to explore the thoughts of King Li Ke of Shu.
It seems that King Li Ke of Shu has not changed much from before.
At least it's the same rules as before.
This is what Li Shimin rests with confidence.
Wang Ding asked the eunuchs to bring all the gold into the inner treasury.
Li Ke stayed in Chang'an for three days before returning to Jingyang.
The villagers of Jingyang quickly adapted to the use of tricycles. Since Jingyang Fangcheng City has a lot of business, the amount of goods has always been very large.
In the past, people used to carry cows, but now with tricycles, everything is much lighter.
The population has increased to 30,000, which is indeed not a small number.
The question is where to find the population to fill your own Jingyang.
Li Zheng thought carefully about the fact that he had a lot of iron materials in his hands now, and Li Shimin also gave himself the right to make iron tools.
After the second phase of the library was opened, there was a natural work of things. Li Zheng was wondering whether there would be books on the steel industry in the third phase of the library.
Lack of knowledge is a very embarrassing thing. It is a good idea to cook without rice. At this moment, Li Zheng felt that he could not cook with rice.
Without considering this issue for the time being, Li Zheng stood up from the edge of the field, looked at the already reclaimed wasteland, and waited to plant cotton first.
The population of Jingyang Village is not enough now, especially during busy farming.
Many people work in the fields during the day and work in the workshop at night.
In the past two years, Jingyang's original labor force has no surplus.
Because Jingyang Fang City's business is so good, there is a shortage of manpower in soap, braised pork, and printing shops, whether it is papermaking or soap making.
Li Yifu told him all these things.
It’s just that the people in the village didn’t mention it to him. Even if they were busy, the aunts would work overtime until night to rush to make the goods they were going to sell the next day first.
Nowadays, there is such a large area, which has almost doubled the area of Jingyang.
This makes the manpower less and less than enough.
Li Ke returned and said, "The gold has been brought over, and the father has already obtained your gold."
"I understand." Li Zheng nodded and looked at the empty and well-cultivated fields. To the north of this land is a breeding farm covering an area of hundreds of acres.
The farm is still being expanded, and maybe there will be some excess land left behind in the future.
Li Ke said again: "The father has increased the cost of his mother and promised that I will make arrangements for the future war."
"Good thing." Li Zheng nodded and said pertinently.
Li Ke whispered: "Thank you."
This sentence was said very lightly, and Li Zheng heard it very clearly, "Your Highness the King of Shu, don't be polite."
Li Ke said to Li Zheng: "Is there anything I need my help?"
Li Zheng thought about it and said, "I need population right now."
"How many people do you want?"
Li Zheng said sadly: "Not more than 10,000 or 20,000."
"Ten or 20,000? What do you want so many people to do?"
Li Ke's eyes were very surprised. The population of Jingyang County is now quite large.
In the past two years, Jingyang has now become a small village with a population of hundreds, a large county with a population of tens of thousands.
This is unique in the Chang'an area. Which county in the Chang'an area has so many people?
I thought Li Zheng was only a few dozen or hundreds of people, but it was no trivial to have tens of thousands of people at once.
"I need to do a lot of things for the population," Li Zheng explained to Li Ke: "Youdao is that economic development cannot be separated from construction, construction cannot be separated from population, and labor."
These words were a bit profound for Li Ke, and some were unclear about the logical relationship. When it touched on the blind spots of knowledge, Li Ke felt that it was best to remain silent.
Li Zhengshou supported his chin and said sadly: "His Royal Highness of Shu has been in the army before?"
Li Ke nodded, "Five years in the army."
Li Zheng whispered: "His Royal Highness Shu should know people in the army. Generally speaking, there will be many retired veterans on the battlefield. After they come down from the battlefield, do they need to find a living again, right?"
Li Ke nodded, "That's right."
Considering the situation here, Li Zheng said to Li Ke: "If there are veterans who have retired from the army in the future, they can come to our Jingyang to find work and I will give them wages."
Li Ke nodded, "I know some people in the army. This is a good thing I can do for you."
"Thank you."
Li Ke glanced at Li Zheng again, turned around and left.
The Hexi Corridor west of Chang'an is very hot here. A group of Tubo soldiers endured the heat in the Gobi Desert, waiting for the order from Songtsen Gampo.
Yuchi Gong rode his horse on a high slope, which was the rear of the Tubo army.
From here, you can see the Tubo people stationed there from afar, and the number is about 10,000.
He has been stationed in the Hexi Corridor for a year, and Yuchi Gong has obvious injuries on his face.
Staring at the Tubo army in the distance, with a disdainful smile on its face, Psychic Kanbu's soldiers were too loose, and they were simply a group of mobs.
The scout came to report: "Report to the general, there are also large groups of Tubo soldiers and horses thirty miles north and south."
After confirming the situation, Yuchi Gong had a rough idea.
This is similar to what His Majesty sent him to a quick whip.
Yuchi Gong immediately ordered: "The troops were divided into two groups to encircle and suppress this Tubo army. We should move quickly. After the battle, we will withdraw."
