Suppliers from both worlds have dominated the world since Datang!

Chapter 446 The war has begun!!!

In the next few days, the two of them traveled by car.

Starting from Xining, we visited the colorful Danxia landform scenic area.

Then there are Jiayuguan Tower, Mingsha Mountain and Crescent Lake, and Dunhuang Mogao Grottoes...

Camel riding and camping in the desert.

I played another game by the way.

You know what, fighting in the desert is really quite interesting.

The two of them took a tour along the Qinghai Northwest Grand Loop Scenic Area.

Moreover, I play games every night when I arrive at a new place.

Eleven full days.

It was already mid-May when we returned to Qingdu.

Zhuang Zhou continued to devote himself to the construction of Datang.

The first phase of the photovoltaic power generation project has been launched.

Before leaving Qingdu, Zhuang Zhou went to the auction company to check out the decoration situation.

Zhuang Zhou had previously proposed to decorate the auction company to make it more distinctive.

The main reference is the style of antique shops.

The designer skillfully incorporates modern and classical elements, making it both solemn and elegant while also incorporating modern convenience and comfort.

Overall, Zhuang Zhou was quite satisfied.

I estimate that the first autumn auction can be held in autumn at the latest.

I have been busy for so long and have accumulated so many treasures.

It’s time to change it into money!

……

Time flies, and it's June in the blink of an eye.

Now the crops in Mount Li have grown.

The corn has bloomed and produced tiny kernels.

During this period, Zhuang Zhou only did one thing.

It means gathering people and conducting training.

If you want to build a solar power station, you must first train a group of professional talents.

Now Li Er is also watching closely and runs towards Mount Li whenever he gets a chance.

The imperial court gave money when needed and people when needed.

There is only one goal, to build the first solar power station as soon as possible.

Technical training would definitely not be completed by Zhuang Zhou alone.

So now he doesn't have to be so shy anymore.

Just let Ural release the explanatory video.

This is a very troublesome thing.

Zhuang Zhou had to first train everyone on the numbers 123, letters abc...

This is not the most troublesome thing.

The most troublesome part is setting up electric poles, pre-burying pipes, and pulling wires.

The weather is getting hotter!

Zhuang Zhou also wanted to start the first phase of the project as soon as possible.

In June, the midsummer sun is scorching.

The construction site at Mount Li is a busy scene.

Zhuang Zhou and the technical team worked day and night, and everyone had a common goal in mind.

Let Datang’s first solar power station be built on this land as soon as possible.

During the day, Zhuang Zhou not only has to go to the construction site to guide the workers in their construction.

Meetings are also held from time to time to summarize work progress.

Discuss problems encountered with the technical team and plan the next work plan.

At night, we have to go back to the modern warehouse to move materials.

Despite the heavy workload, Zhuang Zhou felt unprecedented fulfillment and satisfaction.

Time passes day by day.

The first phase of the Lishan solar power station project is also proceeding at full speed.

It was early this morning.

Zhuang Zhou is directing workers to set up the solar base support.

Although it was the first time for these workers to do such a thing.

But after all, it is not high-tech.

Do it a few times and you will become proficient at it.

It will take some time to complete the full installation.

They were busy until around noon, when a eunuch came to the palace to announce the decree.

He urgently summoned Zhuang Zhou to the palace to meet the emperor.

When Zhuang Zhou arrived at the Council of Government, all the bigwigs had already gathered there.

Zhuang Zhou originally thought that they were going to discuss solar power stations.

It seems that it is not the case.

"Your Majesty, I wonder why you summoned me here today?"

Li Shimin smiled slightly and did not directly answer Zhuang Zhou's question.

Instead, he turned to look at Cheng Yaojin:

"Duke Lu, please explain it to me!"

Cheng Yaojin nodded and said in a deep voice:

"Brother Zhuang, do you know the recent situation on the border?"

Of course Zhuang Zhou had no way of knowing that, he didn’t care about that.

Besides, he has been busy with the solar power station during this period.

He shook his head and asked:

"What's going on? Are the Turks on the border starting to make a move again?"

The biggest border threat in the early Tang Dynasty was the Turks.

Of course, Tubo, Khitan and Nanzhao also frequently invaded the border.

However, as early as the fourth year of Zhenguan, the Turkic tribes had jointly requested Li Er to become the Heavenly Khan.

After that, all the tribes on the grassland recognized Li Er's identity as the Heavenly Khan.

But now, four years later, the Turks seem to be getting restless again.

This is inevitable as the grassland tribes do not engage in agricultural production.

Once there is a shortage of food and life becomes unsustainable, people have no choice but to resort to robbing.

For them, the Tang Dynasty was undoubtedly the best target for plunder.

Although this is a fierce tiger.

But if you are extremely hungry, what can a tiger do?

Cheng Yaojin glanced at Li Er and continued:

"We previously sent an envoy to Tuyuhun to discuss the mining of salt lakes, and we received a reply last night.

Tuyuhun has agreed to our request."

Zhuang Zhou was delighted when he heard this:

"This is a good thing!

Once the salt lake is fully mined, the Tang Dynasty will have enough salt to eat.”

Zhuang Zhou has no control over what happens in the future.

At least during the time he stayed in Chang'an, he was able to solve the salt problem.

To be honest, Zhuang Zhou wants to make money.

But I never thought of making money from salt.

After all, this is a basic issue involving people's livelihood.

Never waver.

"Good things are good, of course, but there are also bad things."

Cheng Yaojin's face darkened and he continued:

"Last winter, the 18 regions of the grassland suffered a rare snowstorm.

Countless cattle and sheep have frozen to death, and now the Turks have also learned about the salt lake.

According to the Tang report, the Turkic tribes are still gathering their troops. "

Zhuang Zhou said "oh" and pretended not to understand and asked:

"Is that going to war?"

Cheng Yaojin nodded:

“Yes, this time the Turks are making more noise than ever before.

They have assembled a large number of troops, and it looks like there will definitely be a battle this time."

Zhuang Zhou couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart when he heard this.

He was well aware of the cruelty of war, and he understood that peace on the Tang Dynasty's borders was vital to the stability of the entire country.

Once a war breaks out, it will inevitably be the common people who suffer.

Zhuang Zhou took a deep breath and looked at Li Shimin.

Li Shimin's brows were furrowed, and he was obviously worried about the upcoming war.

Now the whole Tang Kingdom is making every effort to develop.

If a war were to start at this time, it would inevitably lead to huge consequences.

Zhuang Zhou's heart moved, and he decided to take this opportunity to do his part for the Tang Dynasty:

"Your Majesty, I have something to say, but I don't know whether to say it or not."

Li Shimin nodded slightly, indicating that he should continue.

Zhuang Zhou took a deep breath and said:

"Your Majesty, now is the critical moment for the Tang Dynasty to develop at full strength, and it is best not to engage in large-scale wars with foreign countries.

In my opinion, the Turkic people gathered their forces this time, perhaps not just because of the salt lake incident, but more likely because they felt the strength of the Tang Dynasty and wanted to influence its development through war. "

Upon hearing this, Li Shimin's eyes flashed with admiration and he said:

"Master Zhuang is absolutely right, I have the same concerns.

So in your opinion, how should we deal with it?"
