After living for so many years, Li Ji naturally sees farther than others, even Han Yi is not as good as him.

Now the Tang Dynasty is facing a period of change, with all civil and military officials and generals in the process of change, and there are no successors. There are also generals such as Su Dingfang, Pei Xingjian, Xue Rengui, Cheng Mingzhen, Qi Bi Heli, and Ashina Mishe. But because of the emergence of talents, whoever becomes this general will definitely not be convinced. If Su Dingfang is the commander, Qi Bi Heli will not pay attention to him. What is your origin and you still want to be the commander.

This is a big taboo for military forces.

No matter how talented the commander has, it would be useless to command the people below. Moreover, when facing the powerful Tubo, the generals must be united in order to win. It is not to fight Goguryeo. You can do it if you have nothing to do. Anyway, Goguryeo does not have the ability to counterattack, and even the little national strength of Goguryeo cannot be produced in Liaodong.

Originally, Cheng Yaojin could take charge, but Cheng Yaojin had been ruined by Li Zhi. At present, only Li Ji can carry the handsome flag. Everyone is willing to obey Li Ji's words, but there is no way. The achievements are there. Even if Li Ji can't draw the bow, as long as he sits in the big tent, he can add n more halos to the Tang army.

Han Yi also thought it made sense, but he was even more curious and asked: "Sikong, please forgive me for asking, with Sikong, your current status, it is not the turn to come to me to discuss this matter. If Sikong wants to send troops, you can directly ask Your Majesty."

You are the first person in the dynasty, and Li Yifu dare not ignore you. You come to me and look down on me too much. If you want to report it yourself, it will save trouble than coming to me.

Li Ji smiled bitterly and said, "I helped the Emperor Taizong attack Goguryeo when he was promoted, but you know what the result was."

Speaking of this, he sighed and said, "Since that time, I have understood that this war is not only about winning or losing, but also considering many aspects. Sometimes, if you win the enemy, you will only hurt one thousand enemies and lose eight hundred themselves. If it is really that simple, you would have encouraged Your Majesty to send troops long ago, and you will endure it until now."

Han Yi was admired by him and no longer felt that Li Ji was a turtle shrunk. This was the real marshal. He did not participate in political struggles. It was not that he was afraid of death, but that he felt that my duty was not here. I was a military officer, and my duty was to fight. These things had nothing to do with me.

This war is not martial arts. You cannot rely on your high martial arts skills to be chivalrous and righteous. When a big battle, you will lose a lot of food and manpower. This will be a success. Therefore, if you do not have to fight, you must calculate the account clearly. When Fang Xuanling was the Minister of Shangshu Zuo Pushe, he was in charge of the Ministry of War. Every battle fought by the Tang Dynasty was the benefit outweighed the disadvantages, and it was at a very small price to exchange for the greatest benefit. The treasury was still full.

However, when Li Ji became the Minister of War, he fought a useless battle. Although he had been winning all the time, he had a ball. If you did not achieve your strategic goal, you would lose your national strength. Therefore, the best division of labor is to decide whether to fight or not, and the generals would only be responsible for winning. If the two interfere with each other, or even put the cart before the horse, it would be very terrible. I think the Song Dynasty had such a meaning. The civil officials not only decided to fight or not, but also were responsible for supervising the army, often delaying military aircraft.

Han Yi pondered for a moment and said, "What Sikong means, let me prepare as soon as possible?"

Li Ji nodded and said, "If it is impossible to avoid it, it is best to fight this battle while I am still alive."

The reason why he came to Han Yi alone was because Han Yi was the Minister of Revenue and was in charge of finance. This war requires money. Only when the logistics is ready can the Tang Dynasty be qualified to fight this war. In addition, Zai Qingzhong, Li Yifu, Xu Jingzong, and Li Ji never expected it, and Du Zhenglun was on his side. Therefore, Han Yi's opinion is very important, and Han Yi is a very key figure because Han Yi has been involved in this matter, but he also saw that Han Yi didn't want to fight, which made him very worried.

Because he is old, he hopes that in his lifetime, he can eliminate all hidden dangers and not leave any trouble for future generations, otherwise there is nothing he can do in life, so he is so anxious to come to Han Yi.

Han Yi pondered for a while and nodded, "Thank you, Sikong for telling you truthfully, I know."

Li Ji didn't say much anymore. He just hoped that Han Yi could prepare for this and let us be qualified to fight this battle earlier. He didn't want to urge Han Yi to support him because he didn't need it. If this were the case, he might as well go to Li Zhi to talk directly. Is it worth looking for Han Yi?

After saying this, Li Ji left.

Han Yi did not rush back to the back hall, but sat in the hall thinking. He actually had his own plans, but Li Ji said that he did ignore this point. If Li Ji died, no one was qualified to take over the Shiqi, because everyone was similar. Su Dingfang was old, but his background was humble and his prestige was far from enough. Pei Xingjian came from a famous family, but he was too young. Like Xue Rengui, he had insufficient achievements.

But today is obviously not a day of thinking. Li Ji left shortly after he left, Li Chunfeng and Yan Liben came.

"Haha! Mr. Han won't mind that we two old men come to ask for a meal." Li Chunfeng smiled happily when he saw Han Yi.

Han Yi said: "I always thought that I would invite two of you to dinner, but I can't invite you if I don't have a hundred coins."

Yan Liben stroked his beard and laughed, saying, "Shilarious Minister Han, congratulations, congratulations."

"Thank you, thank you!" Han Yi stretched out his hand and said, "Please inside."

The two of them chose to come at this time, of course they were not here to have a free meal. They just expected that no one would come at this time, because Han Yi did not hold a banquet, so it is inevitable that they would be a bit suspicious of having a free meal now.

The two of them came to the hall, Li Chunfeng looked around and smiled and said, "Isn't my brother Xiao at home?"

Han Yi said, "Oh, my father-in-law suddenly remembered to have an appointment with Master Xuanzang to study Buddhist scriptures and went out early in the morning."

Suddenly remembered?

Li Chunfeng and Yan Liben looked at each other, both smiling but not speaking.

After taking the seat, Han Yi immediately ordered someone to serve the food.

Han Yi first sent a cup to Li Chunfeng and said, "Thank you, Mr. Li, for naming the child, I am very grateful."

Li Chunfeng first picked up the cup and said, "It's a big deal to raise your hands, so why bother to ask."

After the two of them drank, Han Yi and Yan Liben had another drink.

Yan Liben smiled and said, "Mr. Han is really auspicious person and he has his own appearance!"

Han Yi shook his head and said, "I am most afraid of hearing this sentence. If God doesn't help, it will be bad."

Yan Liben couldn't help laughing when he heard this.

Han Yi asked again: "I wonder if you two are good lately?"

Li Chunfeng said: "We are not that way. But after you leave, we have no clue about many things, especially the Sixth Academy of Sages. The newly promoted ninth-rank academicians have formulated many textbooks, but we did not dare to make a decision. We have to wait for you to come!"

Han Yi said: "Li Taishi is too humble. In fact, you can make a decision completely. You don't need to wait for me to decide."

Li Chunfeng waved his hand and said, "It's better to decide it, but you have to go and read it quickly. They are working very hard to develop books by the maker. If they don't get recognized, they are afraid that their enthusiasm will be much weaker."

"Yes! I'll go and see it in two days!" Han Yi nodded embarrassedly and suddenly found a problem. He had recruited so many talents, and the purpose was to help him share the responsibility, but he had to make a decision himself. If this continues, once he goes on a business trip, he has to stop everything. They are not as good as Sang Mu. He thought about it and he has to find a way to avoid this in the future.

Yan Liben suddenly said, "Oh, I almost forgot to say it, but there is a lot of progress in steelmaking."

Han Yi said in surprise: "Is that true?"

Yan Liben smiled and said, "This is thanks to your smelting method."

This is a big joy. Without steel, many good ideas are regarded as a fantasy. Steelmaking is the most basic thing!

The three of them just chatted casually, mainly about the Sixth Academy of the Sage. Sixth Academy of the Sage is the most stable official office because it is engaged in research and there is no other official office fighting for power and profit.

After lunch, Li Chunfeng and Yan Liben also left. For the specific matters, Han Yi had to wait until he went to the Sixth Academy of Sages to discuss.

There were more people coming in the afternoon, all of which were in a wave, and they didn't wait, so they came to the door directly and everyone talked about it. Anyway, they didn't talk about any secrets, but Han Yi was the first one and two big ones, and it didn't end until the evening, and it was so exhausted.

By the morning of the next day, Han Yi left Xiao Mansion early and went to Beixiang. Xiao Mansion really couldn't stay, although he wanted to stay.

Even when he went to Beixiang, he was secretly and did not dare to walk on the street. He walked on a dedicated passage. Needless to say, if he walked on the street, he would definitely be surrounded by Qian Dafang and others. He just wanted to go home to see Xiaopang and the others. Now he is on vacation, and there is no reason to waste his time on business.

"Brother Xiaoyi - Brother Xiaoyi, you are back!"

When passing by the side door of Jinxing, I happened to meet Cha Wu, which made Cha Wu so excited.

Han Yi looked at Cha Wu. Now Cha Wu has already cleaned up himself, which is completely different from the errand running Cha Wu before. He smiled and said, "No, not bad, you are becoming more and more stylish!"

Cha Wu said, "Brother Xiaoyi, don't laugh at me."

"What a joke!" Han Yi said: "I am praising you. As the supervisor of my Fengfei Tower, you are the storefront of my Fengfei Tower. If you look like a beggar, who will come to the door! Keep it up."

"Yes, yes!" Cha Wu was very happy when he heard this.

Han Yi asked again: "By the way, can Xiaopang and the others be at home?"

Cha Wu said: "Xiaopang has gone out with Ono and Andy Lau in the morning."

Han Yi frowned and said, "This kid doesn't go to see me even though he knows I'm back."

Cha Wu said, "Brother Xiaoyi, you don't know now. Xiaopang is making a fortune now. At the beginning of this year, he settled the largest storefront in the West Market, so he is very busy."

"Damn! What did this fat guy do?" Han Yi exclaimed.

Cha Wu was about to speak, and someone came out of the Jinxing. It was Chen Gui. When he saw Han Yi, he said in surprise: "Oh, Brother Han, you are back! Just right, it seems that someone is looking for you inside."

Han Yi was stunned and said, "Who is it?"

Chen Gui shook his head and said, "I don't know you. Sang Mu is talking to that person now."

"Don't you know?" Han Yi was curious and said to Cha Wu again: "I'll come to find you later." As he said that, he got into the gold shop.

When the people from Jinxing saw Han Yi coming, they were so happy that they greeted Han Yi one by one. Since most of them were girls, Han Yi also smiled and waved to them and said hello to treat them this afternoon. This made everyone excited. The eldest is the eldest. If the boss is not here, the iron cockerel of Sangmu has no idea of ​​treating him. He hasn't had a big meal for a long time.

However, their cheers also disturbed the Sangmu in the VIP room.

"My benefactor!"

Sang Mu quickly saluted when he saw Han Yi.

Han Yi was just satisfied with Sang Mu, and nodded with a smile, saying, "I heard that someone is looking for me."

Sang Mu was stunned for a moment and said, "Oh, this is just a trivial matter. You don't need to come forward in person."

Han Yi was even more curious and said, "Who is it?"

Sang Mudao: "It's just a farmer in the suburbs."

"farmer?"

"He took something and said he wanted to sell it to us."

"What?"

"I don't know much about the picture that can be easy to learn pinyin."

"Pinyin?" Han Yi became more and more curious as he heard it, and said, "Go in and take a look."
