Chapter 3478

Meng Tian and the others saw short-term victory, while Xu Shize made long-term plans.

Even if the Tang Dynasty already had the strength to confront Da Chu, Xu Shize did not recommend starting a war with Da Chu. Once a war started, the people would be the first to be affected.

The fire at the city gate affected Chi Yu, especially since the Tang Dynasty had just experienced a coup.

If the war started at this time, the people of the Tang Dynasty would still be in the hot water.

As a result, the people fled collectively, and the prosperity of the capital was never restored.

In short, Xu Shize and Tang Yu agreed that it was not appropriate to start a war with Dachu at the moment.

"If we don't start a war with Dachu, what will we do?" Meng Tian asked in confusion.

Xu Shize said calmly: "Wait."

wait?

As soon as these words came out, all the civil and military officials looked confused.

Remember https://m in one second.

"What are you waiting for?"

Xu Shize glanced at Tang Yu and continued: "When we become completely strong, when the weather in the Tang Dynasty is smooth and the country is peaceful and the people are safe, then it will be the best time for us to start a war with Da Chu."

"Of course, Da Chu will not let us continue to develop, but Da Chu will not take action against us in a short period of time, and this time is the best time for us to develop."

Everyone nodded slightly, thinking that what Xu Shize said made sense.

At this time, Tang Yu also said: "The Prime Minister is right. I also think that it is not suitable to start a war with Dachu right now. We should use this time to strengthen our troops."

"So, I decided to hoard food widely and build high walls."

Collect grain widely and build walls high?

Everyone looked at Tang Yu with doubts on their faces. Only Xu Shize's eyes lit up and he understood what Tang Yu meant.

Meng Tian was puzzled and said: "Your Majesty, I can understand the idea of ​​accumulating grain, but what does it mean to build a high wall?"

Tang Yu smiled and said: "Building a high wall means raising the defense line. You can imagine, if our city wall is tens of feet high, what will be the consequences?"

Everyone suddenly realized it, and their eyes became excited.

yes.

Previously, Nanliang and Dachu were able to easily attack the Tang defense line because the walls of the defense line were too low.

If the city wall can be raised high, and with the advantage of weapons, let alone Nanliang and Dachu, even if the six countries in the world attack Datang together, they have nothing to fear.

For a time, Tang Yu's proposal of collecting grains widely and building walls high was recognized by everyone.

"Your Majesty is wise! In this way, the Tang Dynasty will be indestructible. Even if the Chu army is strong, it will not be able to invade the Tang Dynasty!"

"Build walls high and store grain widely, wonderful! It's really wonderful!"

"Your Majesty's resourcefulness is beyond our reach."

All the civil servants and generals flattered Tang Yu one after another, with flattering smiles on their faces.

However, an inappropriate voice sounded again.

"It is good to accumulate grain and build high walls, but if you want to strengthen the Tang Dynasty, there is another very important thing."

Everyone looked at Xu Shize, and even Tang Yu was slightly curious.

"What's up?"

Xu Shize stared at Tang Yu with burning eyes and said word by word: "The country cannot be left without an owner for a day. Your Majesty has become the new emperor of the Tang Dynasty. According to the usual practice, a coronation ceremony should be held and the matter should be announced to the world!"

As soon as these words came out, the whole place was in an uproar.
