Chapter 38 Death Place

Li Xiang organized his words in his mind. After all, this was a formal occasion. If he said something wrong, he would definitely be laughed at.

Li Taigang wanted to open his mouth to speak but was glared at by Changsun Wuji. After all, he was his own nephew, and Changsun Wuji did not want to see Li Tai make a fool of himself again.

"Your Majesty, Wei Chen suggested that when our cavalry enters the Kingdom of Goryeo..."

Li Xiang began to talk about his strategy, which was actually very simple. It was to burn all the villages, destroy all the wells, kill all the cattle, destroy all the farm tools, and turn this area into a dead place. .

When Li Xiang finished speaking, the people present were speechless in surprise. It was hard to believe that this was said by a thirteen-year-old child. If it were according to what Li Xiang said, only one raid was needed. At least half of the country of Goryeo will become a dead place. Even if they want to recover, they will not be able to recover in less than five years.

demon……

Li Tai marked Li Xiang with a name in his heart.

"This is absolutely not possible. We, the Tang Dynasty, do things aboveboard. How can we do things like this? If we do this, it will be recorded severely in the history books, and it will be infamy for thousands of years."

Li Tai used his loud voice and said this in an instant.

"My son also thinks it is inappropriate. If we really do this, then our Tang Dynasty will definitely end up with a reputation that will last forever. My father, the emperor, is the king of heaven. If we really do this, we will have a bad reputation for the surrounding tribes and alliances." It will also have an impact.”

Qi King Li You also stood up. This guy had no alliance with the other princes, but he just didn't like Li Xiang.

There was admiration in the eyes of King Wu Li Ke. Although King Wu Li Ke was a scholar, he still felt that he should be ruthless when it came to national affairs. He thought about everything from front to back. If he really did this, then the Liaodong region could be protected. Twenty worry-free years.

Jin Wang Li Zhi kept shaking his head. It was obvious that he did not agree with this proposal, but he did not say anything. This guy, like Changsun Wuji, has always been a yin.

"My grandson also has a treasure. He is currently testing it. If the test is successful, all the water conservancy facilities in Korea, including their dams, can be destroyed in a short period of time..."

After Li Xiang's words, the people present were even more surprised. You must know that in this era of all manpower, it takes a lot of manpower and material resources to build a water conservancy facility. Even if we want to destroy it, it will not be easy. Seriously, you can actually do this?

"What is this?"

When Li Shimin asked this question, Li Xiang knew that he had succeeded. Li Shimin was a heroic leader. Although he paid attention to his reputation, he wanted to conquer Goryeo even more.

If you were focused on reputation, I'm afraid you wouldn't have raised this issue.

"My grandson named this thing dynamite, but because it is too dangerous, it has not been developed yet. If we start next spring, my grandson guarantees that we can develop it before next spring, but this thing is expensive."

The price of black gunpowder is not very high. Li Xiang’s system also has a production method, but it can’t be said now. You have to make enough profits. The economic base determines the superstructure. Only if you have enough money in your hand, you can Only then can the power be spread.

"If there really is such a thing that can destroy their water conservancy facilities in a short period of time, then it is okay to be a little more expensive. The veteran does not understand political matters, but if, as His Highness the Emperor Sun said, we If they burn their villages, destroy their wells and water conservancy facilities, and kill their cattle in Korea, they will not be able to rebuild this place in ten years."

General Li Jing, as Li Xiang's immediate boss and also the Minister of War of the Tang Dynasty, only discussed Li Xiang's method from a purely military perspective. It was up to Li Shimin to decide whether to do it or not. .

"Father, we must not do this. If we do this, this area will become a place of death. What will the history books say about you?"

Li Tai saw Li Shimin's heartbeat, and he would never allow such a thing to happen. If Li Shimin really did this, then Li Xiang's position would be secure.

Li Shimin is indeed worried that if we follow the method Li Xiang said, even if we get this area in the future, we may not get much benefit.

"If this is really the case, even if we in the Tang Dynasty win this land, we will gain nothing."

Li Shimin looked at Li Xiang and said, although this can conquer Korea, it is not the kind of conquest that Li Shimin thought. He must gain both fame and fortune. If he gets a piece of waste land, what will he do with it?

"My grandson has a way to restore vitality to the place. If others dare not to conquer Liaodong, my grandson is willing to go."

After Li Xiang said what he said, the people around him were even more surprised. According to what Li Xiang said, everything in the local area was destroyed. What do you want this land for? Is it useful to you?

Li Xiang looked at the people around him and really didn't know what to say. Liaodong had the most fertile black soil. Although the wells in the village were destroyed, the local water system was also very developed, not to mention Li Xiang. You can also dig your own well. If others don't want it in this area, he will definitely prosper if he wants it, especially in an agricultural society.

"Tell me your solution first."

Li Shimin's expression became solemn at this moment. He wanted to see how Li Xiang brought a dead land back to life. If Li Xiang could really do this, it wouldn't hurt to give him the entire Liaodong. Maybe the entire Tang Dynasty would be his in the future.

"My grandson divided the land in Liaodong into fifty acres. All our people in the Tang Dynasty who have no land and cannot live in their hometown can go to Liaodong. Everyone can be allocated fifty acres of land. The harvest in the first three years will be harvested. They share half with me, and I will only take one third in the next seven years. After ten years, I will give it all to them as personal property, and I will provide the seeds and various farming equipment."

After Li Xiang finished speaking, the people present immediately started talking. The Tang Dynasty had a lot of people and little land, and many areas were not developed. Many people only guarded two acres of thin farmland at home. If Li Xiang really issued such an order, then The number of people going to Liaodong is by no means a small number.

Once food can be produced in the first year, there will be more people in the past, and the dead place may really become a living place...
