The eighth year of Zhenguan. .

China is stable, the four barbarians are in service, and the grains are abundant.

In Zhenguan Hall, several ministers came out and played in unison, "I would like to ask Your Majesty for the Father of the Father!"

Li Shimin smiled and said, "Why are you talking about Fengshan?" Although he seemed surprised, he was very happy.

Changsun Wuji said, "Your Majesty's merits are obvious to all people in the world. It is the time for Fengshan. Time must not be lost, and heaven cannot be violated. Now Fengshan is the right time."

Li Shimin sat on the imperial chair, twisting his body slightly, very happy.

Fengshan is also a grand event for the emperor.

But before he could speak, Wei Zheng stood up from the side.

"I think it's not possible!"

With this sound, even Li Chao, who was dozing in the hall, couldn't help but look up at him. Now Wei Zheng seems to be walking further and further along the road of the opposition and minority parties in the court.

Li Shimin's face, which was originally happy, became a little gloomy.

"Wei Zheng, do you think I cannot be loyal to you because I am not very good enough and my virtue is not very good enough?"

"Your Majesty, the ministers all think that Fengshan is a great event for the emperor, but I don't think so. If the world is safe and the family is enough, even if there is no Fengshan, is there anything wrong with it? In the past, Qin Shihuang was fed up, but Han Wen did not fend for the emperor. Do people later think that Emperor Wen of Han was not as good as Qin Shihuang? Moreover, if you sweep the floor to be a feud and sacrifice to the heaven to be a Zen, why should you climb to the top of Mount Tai to show Your Majesty's sincerity and respect?"

Changsun Wuji raised his tablet and immediately refuted Wei Zheng.

"Although Fengshan was his Majesty who went to Mount Tai himself, it was the king's achievements. The reason why the king made achievements was because of the result of governing the world. Isn't that the case?"

Fang Xuanling also stood up, "Of course your majesty is a great virtue, and China is stable, the four barbarians are subdued, and the grains are harvested, and Fu Rui has arrived."

Li Shimin also looked at Wei Zheng, "Why can't I betrayal?"

Wei Zheng was not the kind of person who easily compromised. He took the scepter in one fell swoop, "Your Majesty, although there is what the house said, after all, we are suffering from the granaries after the chaos at the end of the Sui Dynasty, and the granaries were still a little empty, and the people in the world had not yet recovered. Fengshan must be a carriage to the east, thousands of horses and thousands of riders, and the supplies along the rest of the country and the expenses of the court were not easy to bear."

"Besides, if Your Majesty wants to Fengshan, then all the countries must be gathered, and the kings of the far-far Yi must follow. Now from Yi and Luo to Daiyue by the sea, it is a long way to go. Moreover, when others come, you must give them rewards. No matter how much you give, it may not satisfy them. If you do Fengshan this way, you will not be able to collect taxes and not compensate the hardships of the people. Instead of advocating the false reputation of Fengshan and getting actual harm, why does Your Majesty have to Fengshan?"

In the hall, I was not very satisfied with Wei Zheng, the prime minister who sang the opposite tune.

Li Shimin was also angry inside.

He has been in power for eight years, and the Tang Dynasty has flourished in his hands. Thanks to the full implementation of the new policy, the country is now prosperous and the people are healthy, and the Tang Dynasty is unprecedentedly strong, but Wei Zheng is still in opposition.

"Taishou, tell me, should I be Fengshan Mountain?"

Li Shimin looked at the Grand Tutor Li Chao under the imperial ranks.

Since returning to Beijing in Andingling Lingnan in the fourth year of Wude, Li Chao has not left Beijing for three years. In the past three years, Li Chao has only held the title of Grand Tutor and has not held any other actual positions.

Li Shimin even allowed Li Chao not to attend the Chang Dynasty, but only attended the New Year and New Year meeting every month, and occasionally invited Li Chao to the imperial court to attend the meeting. Most of the time, Li Chao was in the Zhao Palace.

In three years, Li Chao only did one thing, which was to establish the Beijing University of the Communist Party of China with his donation.

Unlike the Imperial College, which has more than 8,000 students, the Beijing University is more complicated. The Beijing lobby includes medical schools, architecture schools, mining schools, transportation schools, water conservancy schools, accounting schools, even textile schools, steel schools, agriculture and animal husbandry schools, etc. It has dozens of colleges. This is a professional school that cultivates various professional talents.

In three years, this Peking University now has more than 10,000 students, more than the 8,000 students in the Imperial College.

The enrollment examinations of the Beijing University of Science and Technology are no less than the lively imperial examinations. A large number of students apply for the exam, and the admission rate is very low. There is no restriction on studying at the Beijing University of Science and Technology, as long as you can pass the written interview, and study is not only free, but also allowances. If you study well, you will also have scholarships.

What students like most is that this place is allocated, with one year of internship after three years of study and four years of graduation, one job can be assigned according to the major.

Those who study medicine can be assigned to work at the Affiliated Medical College of the Jingshi University under the name of the University. In the past three years, the affiliated medical department has established branches in more than 300 states across the country, which is also an important industry of the Beijing University of Science and Technology.

Those who study minerals, metallurgy, architecture, transportation, and water conservancy have places to go. It can be said that the Tang Dynasty is booming now, and this capital was specially established in this situation.

Students from the Capital University are basically robbed after graduation every year.

However, basically, the various affiliated industries of Beijing University are not enough, so how can it be cheaper for others? So, in the past two years, more and more people have been recruiting, and even many large businesses have begun to sign agreements with Beijing University to commission students. They buy quotas at Beijing University, and then spend a high price to send students to study, and then go back to their businesses directly after graduation.

But even so, the students they sent to have to take the unified enrollment examination of Beijing Normal University, and they will not accept them if they don’t have enough grades.

When Li Chao took the lead in establishing the Capital University, many people thought that Li Chaoxian had nothing to do. Especially with so many majors in the school, there was even a major in agriculture. Do you have to teach farming? Those who come to study are scholars, and scholars read so many books and go back to farming?

But over the past three years, the capital has become more and more prosperous and its reputation has become increasingly greater.

The students from the Imperial College are even more popular than those from the Imperial College. The students from the Imperial College basically go to various departments to work as officials, and many of the Imperial College go to various corporations to work as officials, and more of them go to various businesses to work as technicians. The treatment is very good!

Of course, there is also a normal college in Beijing Normal University, where teachers are specially trained, including junior high school, junior high school, junior high school, and high school. Every year, a large number of normal students graduate from here and are then assigned to all parts of the country.

The court also gave normal students a special treatment. They didn't have money to study, and they started to get the teacher's salary as soon as they got into the exam. Although it was the basic salary, it was not much different from the subsidies received by other students. In addition, as soon as they graduated, they were assigned to school, even if they were an official, and had the opportunity to be promoted to the yamen to become officials after five years of teaching.

In recent years, Beijing Normal University has even established affiliated industries such as Beijing Normal University's affiliated hospitals, Beijing Normal University Construction Company, etc., and its business is booming.

Today, the Capital University is a very old and prosperous industry. The Li family is the largest school manager, and many other wealthy families are also members of the school board. Even the 1,080 families on the clan list have invested money in the Capital University, and there are one.

This Beijing University and the Imperial College are different from the official school. This is an absolute private school, and it is also a university with an increasing influence every year and more profits.

Li Chao, a person who has been idle in Beijing for three years, also amazed everyone in the world. No matter where he is, this person is definitely not simple.

However, for three years, Li Chao has indeed only focused on the construction of the Beijing Normal University and the national layout of the school's affiliated industries, and has never interfered in the affairs of the court.

Even after the prince was given the name of the Tang Dynasty Water Transportation Envoy, he wanted Li Chao to be the title of Director of the West Canal and assist in the construction of the canal, but Li Chao refused.

"The canal is the opportunity you have won, so you should do it yourself." Li Chao said to Cheng Qian like this.

In three years, Li Chao established a Beijing University from scratch and also built a huge industrial group in the capital. The prince spent three years to build the Grand Canal in the west of Beijing. This canal, which includes multiple canals, reservoirs, and river gates, is fully connected and has been fully navigated.

Danjiang Reservoir, Hanjiang Dam, Xianghan Cao Canal, Jingxiang Canal, and the Baihe River and Cai River converge. In addition, the dredging of Xiangtan Canal.

Now this western canal connects the Yellow River to the north, the Bian River in the east, and even the Huai River and the Yangtze River.

The Western Canal is south of Fangshan Pass. Baihe and Danjiang are connected, and also connect with Tanghe and Hanjiang Rivers, and also directly connect with the Yangtze River and Xiangjiang River. With the opening of the Jingxiang Canal, it can be said that from Hedong, Hebei, to Huaibei and Henan, you can directly cross the Fangshan Pass to Hanjing, the capital of the Tang Dynasty. You can also connect with Jingxiang, Xiangtan, Bashu, and Jianghuai River.

The entire line of a Western Canal has made the west side of the Tang Dynasty prosperous and the business and tourism prosper.

The court did not pay much money for such a canal, nor did it disturb the people. Even the Western Canal, which took three years, promoted local infrastructure construction, and the river belts on both sides of the river, revitalized many places along the western Canal.

In recent years, there have been no major disasters, and the flood disasters in some places can always be rescued quickly and in a timely manner.

The Tang Dynasty was indeed becoming stronger day by day, and it was not a whim that the court officials mentioned Fengshan at this time. Li Chao was very clear about the inside story, and the ministers could no longer wait.

Can't wait for anything?

Four years have passed since the five-year agreement that he had agreed to pacify Liao, and next year is the fifth year. At this time, the proposal for Fengshan next year is actually to prepare for the conquest of Liao next year.

The emperor went to Fengshan first next year, and then he would not come back, but went directly to Dengzhou to build a town, and the conquest of Liao began in full swing.

After waiting for four years, the ministers could no longer hold back because they had never obtained the fiefdom in Liaodong.

The Li family in Bashang has been in the southern Liao Dynasty for four years. Lushun, Dalian and Jinshan have already had a population of 200,000 to 300,000, and I don’t know how much money I have made.

Li Shimin had talked with Li Chao about Fengshan and the conquest of Liao. Next year, Fengshan will summon Gao Jianwu, the vassal state Goguryeo king, to the court. If Gao Jianwu does not come, then this is a reason to send troops. Li Shimin is sure that Gao Jianwu will definitely not dare to come. In recent years, Goguryeo has almost been tortured by the Tang Dynasty.

The Tang Dynasty shouted to send troops to Goguryeo every few days. The navy and private merchant ships of the Tang Dynasty even came and left as soon as they wanted to come. So far, Goguryeo had to issue an order to ban the sea and move all the people from a hundred miles along the coast to the inland and burn all the coastal areas.

The Liaodong Thousand Mile Great Wall defense line has been built for four years and has not been completed. For this long-term defense line, Goguryeo delayed agricultural livestock. In the past two years, the food shortage has been severe and many people have starved to death.

How dare Gao Jianwu come to court at this time?

Li Chao stood up.

"Your Majesty, the Tang Dynasty has been in the sixth year of Wude, and it has been eight years since Zhenguan. In the past fourteen years, the Tang Dynasty's national strength has been booming, destroying the Turks and pacifying the Southern Barbarians. The world is stable and prosperous, and the people live in peace and security. This is a prosperous scene. I think that it is the current situation of Zhenguan that cannot be governed by Zhenguan, and the prosperous era of Zhenguan. Such a prosperous era is of course all the achievements of Your Majesty's governance and the assistance of the ministers."

"I ask Your Majesty to worship Mount Tai!"

The hall was quiet for a while.

Then Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Changsun Wuji, Ma Zhou and other prime ministers took the lead, and the ministers shouted together.

"I would like to ask Your Majesty to worship Mount Tai!"
Chapter completed!
