The Fourteenth Section: The New Qin Emperor of Great Tang

  Today is still late at night, coding with a happy mood, everyone is happy together

  ——————————————————————－

  The most noble of the royal titles is the single-character "Wang", and among the single-character "Wang" titles, none are more noble than the four kings: Qin, Jin, Qi, and Chu.

  The Qin king has an extraordinary significance in the great Tang Dynasty.

  Enfeoff Li Yuanxing as the King of Qin, first, it is the most noble royal title, second, Li Shimin was the King of Qin, third, this is Li Shimin's attitude, telling Li Yuanxing that you are my only brother, I, Li Shimin, will not be stingy with what I can give you.

  "All right, King Qin!" The Empress Dowager Changsun was full of praise.

  Mr. and Mrs. Li both smiled, it was a smile of satisfaction.

  The next day, as soon as the sky brightened and the gates of Chang'an City just opened, the carriage team from the Qin Wangfu had already left the city and rushed towards the foot of Mount Qinling.

  When Li Er walked into the big tent, Li Yuanxing's eyes were still fixed on the sand table, and Li Jing was standing opposite him. They didn't look at each other, all four eyes were fixed on the sand table.

  Only three months time is too short. Moreover, at this time the Turks are strong and the Tang Dynasty is weak.

  According to Li Jing's calculations, the Turks' this time out of the troops will not be less than 200,000 soldiers and horses, this huge number becomes a dead knot that Li Jing cannot untie.

  Cheng Yaojin is absolutely a second-rate goods, opening his throat and shouting: "It's been two days, old Cheng has finished copying more than a dozen houses. You can't do anything about a bird Tujue, he..." This chaotic devil king wanted to say something again, but was heavily punched by Hei Tan Ge who followed behind, the voice stopped abruptly.

  Li Jing and Li Yuanxing both let out a long sigh at the same time: "Neither military strength nor food supplies are sufficient!"

  "We, the soldiers of the Great Tang, dare to die!" Wei Chi Gong spoke on behalf of the military leaders. Li Yuan Xing retorted with a sentence: "Daring to die is not the same as dying in vain, damn those Turks!"

  Li Ershuang burst out laughing: "Wulang, take a deep breath first, it's exhausting being the older brother!"

  It was a truly heartwarming sentence, and Li Yuanxing's heart almost melted.

  At this time, Li Er said something even more shocking: "Wu Lang, on the day I ascend to the throne, I will make you a king."

  Last time he heard the title of king, Li Yuanxing was already excited. But this time he should be humble and polite, before he could say anything, Li Er said: "I will make you the King of Qin!"

  "King of Qin!" Li Yuanxing was shocked, really shocked.

  Even if Li Yuanxing's historical knowledge is not up to par, he knows that Emperor Taizong of Tang was the King of Qin. This represents something. Li Yuanxing was suddenly stunned, countless thoughts rose from the bottom of his heart, but no matter how he thought about it, he couldn't figure out why, there was only one feeling, that is, Li Er really treated himself as a brother.

  Upon hearing the two words "Qin Wang", Yu Shi Nan took out the imperial edict from his bosom: "This is the first imperial edict of the saint, even earlier than the one for the grand ceremony to worship heaven and earth. It will be announced to the world on the day of the grand ceremony!"

  Li Yuanxing knew it was an imperial edict proclaiming himself as King of Qin.

  The exhaustion of a sleepless night completely disappeared, and a heroic spirit surged from the bottom of his heart.

  This is the Great Tang, it's also Li Er's Great Tang and Li Yuanxing's Great Tang. For the sake of this Qin Wang, he must do something for the Great Tang.

  "I want another title, at least a nominal one. And two more words, 'Royal'!" Li Yuanxing loudly expressed his thoughts.

  Li Er smiled and nodded: "Here you go!"

  "I hereby issue a proclamation to the entire Tang Dynasty, I want all silk merchants in the Tang Dynasty to compete. The most exquisite ones, with the most mulberry fields and silkworms at home, with the most and best silk, with the most and best satin, select ten households to be crowned with the royal name, they are the Royal Silk. Whoever sells the most through the Silk Road and brings back the most gold and silver for the Tang Dynasty, I will grant him a noble title."

  Li Yuanxing blurted out what was on his mind.

  What's the best thing about the Tang Dynasty? Li Yuanxing doesn't know. But he has heard of the Silk Road, and that stone carving he has seen hundreds of times.

  The term "export and earn foreign exchange" was something Li Yuanxing had heard of since he was a child, it was the mainstream in the 1980s and 1990s, and even at the beginning of the 21st century, it was not a small thing.

  Export and earn foreign exchange! This was the first method Li Yuanxing thought of to accumulate wealth for the Tang Dynasty.

  "Wǒ Láng Gāo Míng!" An old man made a fist and bowed towards Li Yuanxing.

  "This is the uncle of Guanyin, the Imperial Censor-in-Chief Gao Shiyan!" Li Er introduced.

  What is a Shizhong official? Li Yuanxing didn't understand, but Guanyin's uncle knew that this was a big shot. He immediately returned the gift.

  "This matter will be handled by my uncle, and the title can be postponed until next year. It must be a substantive name!" Li Er made the highest instructions. He brought Gao Shiyan just for this matter, Gao Shiyan had helped the Tang Dynasty manage the land of Bashu before, so it was most suitable to hand over such things to him.

  Gao Shi Lian replied to this matter and said to Li Yuan Xing: "In the future, I will have to ask for more advice!"

  "I dare not, I actually understand very little. But putting foreign money into the Tang Dynasty's pockets is definitely a good thing, and it can also collect more tariffs. Those merchants who got the imperial title naturally want to do better and better to keep their titles, and they also have to send some to the palace every year, which saves another sum!"

  Li Yuanxing said a few words that made everyone laugh loudly, and Cheng Yaojin was even more delighted, unable to close his mouth. This Li Wulang is really in harmony with him.

  "Mr. Yu, you need to practice your calligraphy!" Li Er said as he handed over the task. However, Li Yuanxing only felt gratitude in his heart, thinking that even writing a single character poorly in the great Tang Dynasty was too embarrassing.

  At this time, Li Yuanxing came over to pay his respects: "Mr. Yu!"

  "Wǒ Láng has courtesy!" After returning the courtesy, Yú Shì Nán introduced the man beside him, who was around thirty years old and looked thin and pitiful: "This is my disciple Xún Suì Liáng. From today on, he will accompany Wǒ Láng to practice calligraphy!"

  "Hello, Mr. Kun!" Li Yuanxing bowed again, this person he had heard of, was a famous historical figure.

  Xu Sui immediately stepped back and avoided the courtesy, he did not dare to accept such a courtesy, just hearing that Li Yuanxing wanted to seal Qin Wang, an eighth-rank official dared not receive this courtesy.

  At this time, Li Er's smile on his face converged, and he became more serious: "Let the two gentlemen talk about money and grain!"

  "Your Highnesses!" House Xuanling spoke first: "In the early days of the Great Tang, the previous years were unknown for frugality, and there were many hidden deficits in the treasury. Currently, the money and grain can support 50,000 people for three months!"

  "Fifty thousand!" Upon hearing this number, Li Yuanxing was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

  Fang Xuanling said, "These 50,000 are already available. In three months' time, we can gather supplies for an army of 150,000 for three months. But we cannot go on a distant expedition, nor can we be defeated, nor can we engage in a protracted war! Otherwise, when our follow-up forces are weak, the consequences will be unthinkable!"
