Chapter 407: checks and balances
In the court hall, Li Yin had achieved his goal, and he didn\'t want to scare the Cheng family anymore, so he let Cheng Huailiang in.
"Your Highness!" Cheng Huailiang came in and saluted Li Yin.
"Sit down." Li Yin pointed to the chair on one side, Cheng Huailiang hesitated, but still didn\'t dare to sit on it.
Li Yin glanced at Cheng Huailiang, these years Cheng Huailiang has indeed matured a lot, the beard on his face circled his lips, his temper is no longer as reckless as before, he is more cautious in speaking and doing things, presumably this is because he was raised by Li Shimin\'s side into the habit.
Cheng Huailiang said: "Your Highness, I came here to explain to Your Highness that my father didn\'t intend to make things difficult for those generals and His Highness." Cheng Yaojin also stood up in the court, which scared him a lot, why? It was said that the Cheng family and the royal family were also married, and he got Princess Qinghe. If Cheng Yaojin made such a fuss, it would be a slap in the face to Li Yin.
Li Yin understood Cheng Huailiang\'s intentions, and he smiled casually. If he didn\'t have a bit of tolerance, would he be like a subordinate? He said: "I understand what the generals mean. They are not rebellious. They are just used to staying in the army. They are afraid that I will kick them away. Lu Guogong has an upright temper, so he naturally wants to stand up. Speaking of it, You, Cheng Huailiang, are probably a little uncomfortable."
Hehe smiled, Cheng Huailiang said: "To be honest, Your Highness, we are all worried that you will disband the old army. Where can we go then?"
"I am also in a dilemma, but the reform of the army is necessary. Now the compulsory army and the recruitment system are beneficial to you and Datang." Li Yin patted Cheng Huailiang on the shoulder and said: "Don\'t worry about anything, you are still in the military. Study hard at the academy, and when you return from your studies, I will arrange a position for you in the army."
Cheng Huailiang was a little moved, as if seeing the old Li Yin again, which made him feel very kind. He said: "Yes, Your Highness, I will not disappoint Your Highness\'s expectations."
Li Yin nodded, and said: "That\'s good, when Xiao Rui and Lu Boyan return to Chang\'an, Qin Huaiyu and I will have a drink with you."
"Yes, Your Highness." Cheng Huailiang smiled all over his face.
and Cheng Huailiang reminiscing about the old days, Li Yin let Cheng Huailiang leave. When he left, Cheng Huailiang was in a good mood. Before, Li Yin seemed to be far away in the sky, but now he regained the feeling of drinking and spanking.
Looking at the back of Cheng Huailiang leaving. Li Yin fell into deep thought. It is not a good thing for a ruler to hold his subordinates together, which is why these veterans are so presumptuous today, but Li Yin did not deal with them. Only when his subordinates compete with each other, can he have both sides, and beat all these people to death with one stick. There is nothing in the Yizhou Army that can check and balance Xue Rengui, and the reason why Li Yin threw Li Hui into the expeditionary army also has some intentions to check and balance Zhu Youzhi and Qin Huaiyu. For an emperor, there is nothing that can be absolutely believed. He doesn\'t like this feeling, and it\'s not that he doesn\'t trust these subordinates. It\'s just that he must do this after rational thinking. This is the reason why emperors always say they are lonely.
After discussing the battle against Tubo in the early morning, Xue Rengui quickly dispatched troops and generals. According to Li Yin\'s request, Xue Rengui specially organized a convoy to lead these veterans to observe the battle against Tubo. When he was in Yizhou, Li Yin The engineering team built the road to the Tuyuhun Grassland, and there was a fork on the road leading to Chang\'an that could turn directly to the Tuyuhun Grassland.
Now the Yizhou Army has basically realized mechanization, and the speed of mobilizing the army to the Tuyuhun grassland is very fast. In just a short time, 50,000 people have completed the assembly on the Tuyuhun grassland.
"Is this what you eat?" As a visiting group, veterans like Li Ji asked questions along the way. They all wanted to quickly master this knowledge so that they could lead the new army.
Li Ji held a can in his hand, and there were compressed biscuits, bread and other foods in the box, which were all military rations, and trucks were responsible for delivering these foods along the way. Xue Rengui respected these famous generals and said: "This is There are many kinds of canned food, including canned fruit and canned meat. These things are very convenient to transport, and they don’t need to be burned to cook. They can be eaten directly. When fighting, soldiers will carry some on their backs, enough to maintain Marching for three or four days can greatly reduce the supply pressure."
Cheng Yaojin clicked his tongue in amazement, picked up a can, and opened it with a knife like a scholar soldier. It was a can of peaches. Cheng Yaojin dug it out with his hands and put it in his mouth without using a spoon. He closed his eyes and shouted: "Well, it\'s delicious, you should try it too."
Li Daozong, Xue Wanche and other veterans heard the words and took out the canned food from the box, and praised them after eating. Then, Xue Rengui led them to eat other things, which made these veterans sigh with emotion. How could the soldiers get such treatment when they were fighting? , a bowl of rice and a bowl of vegetable soup would be good.
The army stationed in the grassland, and Xue Rengui sent scouts to survey the terrain and the deployment of Tuyuhun\'s troops. After hearing the news, Murong Shun also came with a large number of cattle and sheep. Now Tuyuhun belongs to Li Yin, and Li Yin Still letting Murong Shun manage this place, Tuyuhun has basically become an autonomous region, and their source of income is mainly from selling livestock, because they serve as the largest breeding base in Yizhou.
Xue Rengui and Murong Shun were old friends, and they brought Murong Shun to meet the generals. To attack Tubo, they needed Tuyuhun people who were familiar with the terrain to lead the way, and Murong Shun had been looking forward to this day for a long time. Still facing the threat from the plateau.
The Battle of Tubo started, but Li Yin received Li Ran\'s report on Somalia. Now the affairs of Somalia are managed by robots, and Li Yin basically doesn\'t ask questions. Unless it is a matter of war, Li Yin generally does not intervene, after all, the foundation has already been laid.
According to Li Ran’s report, at the beginning, international oil prices plummeted due to the massive sales of crude oil from Somalia. However, he did not reduce production because of this. Successfully, they successfully forced some oil companies in poor countries to go bankrupt, and their market share has already ranked behind Saudi Arabia, becoming the world\'s second largest oil exporter.
After the victory of the price war, Saudi Arabia invited Somalia to join the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries, and international oil prices began to rise steadily. Now Somalia can be said to be making money every day, and Somalia is already capable of importing a large amount of materials.
Li Yin nodded frequently as he listened to the report. This is what he was waiting for. In the future, he would not need to use the cannon of the Australian base to fight mosquitoes. What kind of bicycles and cars are produced? Life, and the Ryukyu trade zone is finally not a unilateral sale of things, you can purchase some things that Yizhou cannot produce at this stage.
At the same time, according to Li Ran, country Z has frequently released breakthroughs in military technology recently, which makes people in country m very nervous. Because of this, the military pressure on Somalia has suddenly decreased a lot, because in the eyes of people in country m, Somalia is now just a fat country. It is just a rich businessman who cannot protect himself because of the fat flowing out. When there is enough fat, you can start killing without worrying. This is of course good for Somalia, at least it can develop steadily for a few years.
After finishing the call, Li Yin called Tong Nian and asked the Ministry of Commerce to notify the merchants to go to the trade zone to purchase Luo Anguo\'s goods. In this way, a trade cycle was formed, and Datang could fully enjoy the goods from Hyundai. It is naturally very beneficial to quickly improve the quality of life in Datang.
In addition to the trade cycle, Li Yin is going to start improving Datang\'s welfare system. Of course, Yizhou is the first. After ten years of development, the knowledge level of Yizhou people has improved a lot, and it is easy to accept some new things.
