The romantic of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 487 Five-Year Development Outline

"See Your Highness!"

At the time of the three mistresses, the whole governor's mansion was in a mess, but Zhang Jianzhi was not moved. He sat in the study and buried his head in the official documents. Even if the servants came to report the good news of the birth of the three Lin'er, he did not see Zhang Jianzhi's reaction very much. When he saw Li Xian, who had a new wash, turned his head from behind the screen, he got up slowly and saw the salute with no expression.

"Sir, please sit down, hehe, I'm so happy today, hahaha..."

A guy got three sons. Li Xian was very proud and didn't pay attention to Zhang Jianzhi's expression. He laughed and went to the back of the top and sat down.

"Your Highness is really happy to have three sons."

Zhang Jianzhi looked at Li Xian with deep meaning and said a word of congratulations, but the dull expression could not be seen at all, which immediately stunned Li Xian.

"Sir seems to have something on his mind?"

This time Zhang Jianzhi's words were a little strange. Li Xian raised his eyebrows slightly, looked at Zhang Jian's eyes suspiciously, and asked tentatively.

"Your Highness has it, and the community is also a support. How dare Zhang not congratulate him?"

Although Zhang Jianzhi is rigid in nature, he is not a person who is not familiar with the world. He knows that some words cannot be said too clearly in front of Li Xian, so he can only say it vaguely.

Huh? Dare to do this, hehe, it's really hard for this old man! Li Xian is a shrewd individual. As soon as he hears it, he knows what Zhang Jianzhi is going to say. It's just a matter of establishing a crown prince. In this regard, Li Xian has already made a determination - Li Xian, who has had experience in the afterlife, has read a lot of history books. How can he not know the cruelty and difficulty of the competition for the throne? Since the beginning of the Tang Dynasty alone, there have been six princes. Except for Gao Zong himself, the rest of Li Jiancheng, Li Chengqian, Li Zhong and Li Hong are not good at death. As for the current prince Li Xian, he has also definitely escaped the knife. With such cruel facts in front of him, it is impossible for Li Xian to turn a blind eye. As early as when he was determined to compete with the Empress Dowager of War, Li Xian had already figured out how to deal with this matter after he came to power. However, it was not yet to be solved. Even in the face of Zhang Jianzhi's absolute confidant, Li Xian did not want to say much, so he laughed and said, "What you are very worried about, children. They are still young. It's good to have a look in a few years.

"Your Highness the Holy Ming!"

Zhang Jianzhi is a wise man. Naturally, he knows that this kind of matter of Lizhu can only stop at the point. When he saw that Li Xian did not want to talk more about this matter, he would not be entangled anymore. He respectfully praised and said no more words. He went to the original seat and sat down and put on a faction to listen to Li Xian's instructions.

"I'm glad to know that the northern tribes have been rearranged, and all the progress is gratifying. In the coming year, I'm afraid all the southern tribes will not be able to sit still."

As soon as Zhang Jianzhi's respectful posture came out, Li Xian couldn't help but have a headache. However, when the opportunity did not arrive, Li Xian would never want to put the matter of Li Chu on the surface, so he could only turn the topic with ahaha.

"Your Highness, the five-year plan has been completed. Please have a look."

Zhang Jianyi listened to Li Xian's speechless words. How could he not understand Li Xian's intention, but he did not say anything. Instead, he picked up a large pile of official documents on several children, held them in his hands, and walked to Li Xian.

"Oh? OK, let's take a look!"

Li Xian has always attached great importance to the plan. Since he subdued the tribes in Hexi, he has ordered a group of royal documents led by Zhang Jianzhi to start preparing a development outline plan on a five-year period. The original deadline was three months, but he didn't expect that in less than two months, Zhang Jianzhi had completed the plan. When he came out, he felt quite surprised, and he couldn't help but be overjoyed. He hurriedly answered, reached out to take the thick plan, and read it carefully. Just looking at it, Li Xian's eyebrows frowned more and more tightly. It's not that there was anything wrong with this plan. In fact, the outline of the plan was published. From Li Xian's arm, Zhang Jianzhi and others just refined it, but as soon as it was refined, the problem came out, one word - money!

Hexi in Li Xian's plan should not only revitalize the economy, but also strengthen military equipment for the purpose of attacking Tibet. Between the two, the former is the foundation, and the latter is one of the strategic goals. In Li Xian's vision, the two are complementary. The problem is that if you want to achieve Li Xian's vision, time can't be bypassed. Kan - If there were more than ten or twenty years, the two could have been logically connected, but Li Xian only gave five years. Even if the economic development of Hexi is faster, it is difficult to support Li Xian's ambition. In this way, money has become a big trouble. According to Zhang Jianzhi's algorithm, The gold gap is as high as six million, which is difficult to make up for when the profitability of Deng Ji Company is fully taken into account.

Even the difference of a penny may be difficult for heroes, not to mention that the gap is more than six million. When Li Xian set strategic goals, he really didn't think much about the lack of money. After all, his "Deng Ji Company" is the largest business in the world, and its profitability is extremely strong. It is said that Li Xian is extremely rich. It's not an exaph, but at this time, when he saw that there were so many funds needed, Li Xian couldn't help but be a little dumbfounded and didn't say a word for a long time.

"Sir, this money... Well, can you manage to reduce the gap?"

After Li Xian was stunned for a long time, he put the plan on a few pieces with a headache and said tentatively.

"If Your Highness is willing to reduce the project, this shortage can be reduced. If the great navigation plan is terminated, it may be able to make up for more than half."

Zhang Jianzhi rolled his eyes angrily and went back rudely - limited to the limitations of his vision, Zhang Jianzhi has always complained about the Great Navigation Plan. It was only because Li Xian always insisted that he reluctantly agreed to go, but he did not forget to remind Li Xian once.

"Great Navigation Plan? Ha ha, sir's words reminded me that this vacancy has been settled. At the latest next summer, this vacancy can make up more than half!"

Zhang Jianzhi didn't say that the Great Navigation Plan was okay. Speaking of this, Li Xian immediately became happy - others may not know how high the profit margin of maritime transportation is, but Li Xian knows it. Although the Great Navigation Plan is very expensive, it can go down from the ocean, and all the investment At least more than half can be recovered. In terms of the size of the fleet owned by Li Xian at present, no matter how low the trip to the Persian Gulf is, it can definitely exceed four million net profit. This number is still the result of conservative estimation. In fact, it will only be more, but never less. You should know that silk is equivalent to gold in Europe. Things are extremely precious. In addition to the spices bought from South Asia and the profits of gems bought from black food, the high profit that can be brought by 40 ships is definitely an appalling astronomical figure.

"I hope so."

Zhang Jianzhi is not as optimistic as Li Xian. In his opinion, the so-called Great Navigation Plan is purely burning money. More than 2 million yuan has been invested in the front to build a big ship, and the back has to invest almost the same amount of money to buy goods and hire people. The cost is huge, not to mention the risk is also very high. In case a whole family is thrown into the sea. I'm afraid it's too late for Li Xian to cry.

"Sir, you don't have to worry too much. I know this matter alone, and there is no fear of loss. Sir, relax."

Maritime transportation has existed since ancient times, but the scale is not large. Even in the Sui Dynasty at its peak, it was just sporadic boats taking risks on the sea. Of course, there are people who make a fortune, but there are many people who have lost their lives. Li Xian knows this in his heart, but Li Xian is not too burdened. Heart, just because the ship he ordered was built by a giant sea boat converted from the Tang Dynasty sailor's ship. Whether it is the ability to carry wind and waves or the capacity of cargo, it is not comparable to that of such small sailboats. Li Xian is quite sure of success, not to say that Li Xian's such a big sailing plan is not just for Economic interests and more important strategic goals, even if they don't make money or lose money, Li Xian will never give up this big sailing plan.

"Your Highness! Today, the tribes in Hexi are no longer a problem. Can the 'Lion Plan' start?

Zhang Jianzhi was very stubborn by nature. He didn't see what he saw with his own eyes, but it was extremely difficult for him to believe. At this time, he saw that Li Xian did not listen to advice, and he did not want to talk more, so he turned the topic away.

"It's okay to be alone, but this leader's selection problem is still a little uncertain. Well, although Changzhi, Chengbin, Li He and Mingwu are all suitable candidates, but now they are all on the surface, and it is not easy to use. As for Ziming, loyalty and courage are more than enough, and the opportunity is not enough, and the military strategy is still not honed. The rest The military is not qualified enough, and it's hard to be relieved.

The so-called "Rouyuan Plan" is an important attempt at Li Xian's military reform, which is to establish a firearm force, and on this basis, to find out a complete military construction plan, so as to lay a solid foundation for the future establishment of the military academy is to lay a solid foundation for the reform of the military system, which is the five-year development outline. Li Xian naturally had to be cautious about the election of his leader.

"Your Highness, Zhang has a choice, which may be suitable."

As the maker of the plan, Zhang Jianzhi knows the root cause of Li Xian's caution, and will not give much consideration to the selection of leaders. Seeing that Li Xian is hesitant, he immediately touched the long beard on his chest and said with a smile.

"Oh? Who do you like, sir? Let's talk about it with loneliness?"

Hearing Zhang Jianzhi's words, Li Xian immediately became interested and hurriedly asked.

"Xiao Sanlang."

Zhang Jianzhi looked at Li Xian with a smile and read out his name word by word.

"He?"

Li Xian obviously didn't expect that Zhang Jianzhi would put forward such a personal choice, so he couldn't help but be stunned - Xiao Sanlang was also an old man in the royal palace. He was also Xiao Qian's cousin. He was born in the Xiao family. He was also a master of both literature and martial arts, but his literary ability was better than that of martial arts. Although he followed Li Xian to fight in the north and south, he did not. The extraordinary achievements are just the Prince's Palace team up to now. It is barely one of the second echelon training goals in Li Xian's overall military plan, but it is by no means a top figure. Li Xian really doesn't dare to let go if he wants to hand over such a heavy burden to this person, but this candidate is solemnly recommended by Zhang Jianzhi. There is no suitable reason, but it is not easy for Li Xian to refuse on the spot. Hesitation is inevitable...
