Chapter 54: The Eternal Dilemma(1/2)

Once the fiefdom is established, the status is established.

But this is not what Qin Zichuan wants.

He wanted the head of Xiang Shang, the Khan of Jie Li.

Blood debt must be paid for blood!

"Your Majesty, I wonder how much money the Ministry of Revenue is going to give us? How many soldiers the Ministry of War will give us?"

Qin Zichuan asked His Majesty Li Er.

Although the surviving people in Youzhou were placed in Chang'an, this place was not their home after all.

Although the Turkic army retreated, who knows when they will make a comeback?

Now the frontier is his fiefdom, and he wants to rebuild the frontier.

All of this is inseparable from money!

"Your Majesty, the treasury is empty now, and I really can't afford to pay."

The Minister of Revenue said frowningly.

"In the battle of Weishui, more than half of our Tang soldiers were killed or injured, and we really couldn't draw out any extra soldiers to the King of Northern Tang."

Minister of War Li Jing also complained.

As their words fell, a feeling of being deceived spread in Qin Zichuan's heart instantly.

You said you gave me money and soldiers, your feelings are blank checks!

"Your Majesty, the people of Youzhou have been placed in Chang'an. How can they survive without money? My fiefdom has no soldiers, so how can the country guard it?"

Qin Zichuan suppressed the anger in his heart and asked His Majesty Li Er.

"It's not that I don't want to give it to you, but the treasury is empty. If you don't talk about anything else, just talk about the problem of horse hooves wear. I have to spend a lot of money every year."

His Majesty Li Er said with a headache.

"I can solve this."

Qin Zichuan said disdainfully.

Horse hooves wear?

Is this a difficult problem?

"You can really solve it?"

His Majesty Li Er's eyes suddenly shone and stared at Qin Zichuan and asked.

The problem of horse hooves wear has always been the key to restricting the Tang cavalry.

Not only does the annual loss of tens of thousands of war horses, but the military expenditure has also increased significantly.

But Qin Zichuan actually said that he could solve the problem of horse hooves wear, and the faces of the ministers around him were full of disbelief.

Although Qin Zichuan turned the tide on the frontier, this solves the problem of horse hooves wear and tear, which cannot be solved by fighting and killing.

It depends on your brain.

Looking at the entire Tang Dynasty, countless young talents and ministers in the court cannot solve it. Can Qin Zichuan solve it?

Facing everyone's questioning gaze, Qin Zichuan cursed in his heart "Grandmaster."

But he did not immediately tell a solution to the problem.

What is the difference between not pretending to be a b and salted fish?

Not only did he pretend to be a b, but he also wanted to kill His Majesty Li Er with a fierce punishment.

I gave me a fiefdom and a name, but I didn't want to pay a penny. I really tried to get my grandma's house.

"Your Majesty, I wonder how much money the Ministry of Revenue is willing to pay to solve the problem of horse hooves wear?"

Qin Zichuan asked slowly while on the side.

The Minister of Revenue was very tough and still said he had no money.

It’s not that he is stingy, the Tang Dynasty really has no money at this time.

"The treasury is really empty, I paid out of my own pocket, ten thousand ounces."

His Majesty Li Er gritted his teeth and said reluctantly.

Compared with the military spending of horses' hooves, ten thousand jin is like a drop in the bucket.

Although Li Jing, the Minister of War, had a long face, he also knew that the treasury was really empty.

"Fifty thousand jin."

Qin Zichuan despised His Majesty Li Er in his heart and said without hesitation.

"No, it's too much, I really can't afford so much money."

His Majesty Li Er immediately shook his head and said.

"Thirty thousand guan, no more."

Qin Zichuan insisted.

"King of Northern Tang, can you solve the problem of horse hooves wear? Otherwise, you will be the crime of deceiving the monarch."

His Majesty Li Er pulled his face and asked in discomfort.

"The problem of horse hooves is a piece of cake for me. As long as your Majesty's money is in place, any problem can be solved."

"Your Majesty, I still have tens of thousands of people who are homeless in Chang'an. My fief is within my mouth by the Turkic cavalry. I really need money!"

Qin Zichuan immediately played the emotional card and complained to His Majesty Li Er.

"Okay, 30,000 yuan! But you must give me a satisfactory answer."

When it comes to the fiefdom, His Majesty Li Er is very embarrassed.

He was the king of a country and actually gave General Baijia a desolate land, with no soldiers and no questions asked.

Wouldn’t it be ridiculed by the world when it is spread?

So he couldn't wait to block Qin Zichuan's mouth.

Compared to the problem of horse hooves wear, let alone 30,000 guan, if it can be solved, 300,000 guan is worth it!

"I am willing to issue a military order. If the problem of horse hooves cannot be solved, your Majesty will deal with it."

Qin Zichuan said confidently.

"No nonsense."

Qin Qiong quickly scolded him.

Military orders are not a joke.

If Qin Zichuan really can't solve it, wouldn't he lose his life?

"Your Majesty and all the ministers don't seem to believe me! What if we make a bet?"

Qin Zichuan gave Qin Qiong a reassuring look and said to the people around him.

“How to bet?”

Changsun Wuji took the lead in asking.

He would rather believe that Qin Zichuan killed Jie Li Khan than believe that he could solve the problem of horse hooves wear.

Killing requires action.

This solves the problem of eternal times and depends on your brain!

Since ancient times, many military generals have been reckless, so the problem of using their brains still needs civil officials to do it!

Otherwise, what's the point of asking them to be civil officials?

"If I can solve the problem of horse hoof wear, Your Majesty will give me 30,000 guan, and you will give me 10,000 guan. If I can't solve it, I will give you double and give your Majesty my head!"

Qin Zichuan said passionately.

"If the King of Northern Tang can really solve the problem of horse hooves wear, what's the point of giving you ten thousand coins?"

Changsun Wuji said without hesitation.

"Although Fang is not a rich man, he can still give out ten thousand coins."

Fang Xuanling said with a smile.

"Mr. Du is also willing to see it."

Du Ruhui echoed on the side.

"How can such a good thing be missing from me, the Demon King of the World? I bet on the Northern Tang King to win!"

Cheng Yaojin said, then reached out and hugged Qin Zichuan's shoulder.

Qin Zichuan suddenly had the urge to beat people.
