Chapter two hundred and forty-eight the proud emperor
Recently, I don’t know why the topic of Cuju has been mentioned in Chang’an. Of course, there is some news about food, and the rice prices in Chang’an have fallen a lot.
Many people don’t know what Cuju says, but those who pay attention to these people are people who pay attention to the government, and as for the faces of many ordinary people, they are filled with joy.
Because the rice price fell, some people were afraid that they would rise again, so they couldn't help but buy more.
The changes in Chang'an also made many people notice it, but they vaguely felt that it was the masterpiece of the one in the palace and couldn't help but keep silent.
At the court discussion, Li Shimin rarely had a high spirit on his face, which made the ministers who heard that His Majesty was in a bad mood were shocked, but he was still calm on the surface.
After dealing with the usual things, Li Shimin had not left yet, and all the ministers knew that His Majesty had something to say.
"I decided to train an elite soldier!"
Li Shimin's voice slowly rang, and there was a look of joy in his words.
After the words were finished, many ministers were stunned, but then a hint of joy appeared on the face of the Duke of the General.
Because this has a lot to do with them, as for the civil officials, there was a hint of worry on their faces.
"Your Majesty, this matter cannot be done. Now all the wastes are prospering, so we should not lose troops in Qianwu."
Then the first step was Wei Zheng. This famous counselor was able to get Li Shimin's love and hate, and he still had his own skills.
"Your Majesty, the treasury is empty, and this matter needs to be cautious!"
With Wei Zheng's first words, a middle-aged man stood up with a hint of worry on his face and said, "This person is Dai Zhou, the Minister of Revenue.
This Minister of Revenue had a lot of concern in his heart. Because he was in charge of money, he knew that even if it was due to the municipal tax, he could not withstand such consumption.
Then many civil officials came out to persuade him one after another, and these people were obviously aware of the situation of the treasury.
However, Changsun Wuji and the other three, who were in charge, remained silent, with a hint of strange expression on their faces. Logically speaking, it was impossible for His Majesty to be unaware of the situation.
But it seemed that His Majesty was confident, which made Changsun Wuji and the other two indecisive.
"There is no need to talk about this matter. Practice this elite soldier, money and food are allocated from the treasury."
There seemed to be no surprise in Li Shimin's face, but then he said quietly, with a hint of confidence in his words.
You should know that the money for buying Yafu's food before was naturally derived from the national treasury, but the food cannot be used, but it must be transported to all parts of the border.
However, although this money is turned to the left hand and the right hand, it still has many differences for Li Shimin. Li Shimin cannot use the money from the treasury at will, but the money from the treasury is the emperor's own business.
Since they were talking from the treasury, many ministers looked at each other for a moment and retreated. At the same time, they couldn't help but mutter in their hearts that His Majesty did not get so much money or food.
For a moment, some of the nervous talks turned into invisible moments, and of course they left a lot of doubts.
"This time I decided to let many generals train hundreds of soldiers and then compete in the school field to decide the candidate for the main general of this elite soldier."
Li Shimin then arranged to speak out that the Dukes who were from military generals below had their eyes brightened.
Because there are still many dukes guarding various places, the competition between these military generals in Chang'an is invisibly fought.
Of course, the reason why this competition was created was that Li Shimin needed to buy food from Lingnan, otherwise he would not be able to turn this money into food for a short period of time.
After announcing this incident, Li Shimin left. At this time, the emperor was in a good mood.
You should know that in order to increase some military expenditures, the court has to discuss for most of the day, and even for several consecutive days.
However, today it was very fast, so naturally Li Shimin secretly felt that it was good to have money.
In addition, Li Shimin will naturally not forget the Cuju incident, because this is a big industry that makes money, and as long as you have money, Li Shimin will naturally not let it go.
Just when many ministers were wondering how His Majesty had so much money, a rumor spread.
"Mr. An Xuan gave Empress Changsun a million-dollar dowry in one breath."
This was heard from the palace, and many people took a deep breath for a while. Million cents of money are not a small amount.
The most important thing is that Mr. An Xuan actually gave out all this money. No wonder His Majesty is confident of spending money to train elite soldiers.
Zhao Duke's Mansion
Even Changsun Wuji had a bitter smile on his face. He didn't expect that there would be such an accident. You should know that he, who knows the inner court best, is one of them.
I thought His Majesty had made a fortune, but I didn't expect it to be here, but in addition to this, he also had some doubts about why the news of the price of rice in the palace was reported.
But in the end, Changsun Wuji still had no thoughts, and even now this Majesty is not something he can see through.
"Maybe only the teacher can know the reason."
For some reason, a figure appeared in Changsun Wuji's mind at this time and murmured softly.
......
In Chang'an Academy, Shu An looked at the disciple Xue Rengui in front of him and couldn't help but show a hint of gentleness on his face.
After getting married, Xue Rengui looked less immature and more steady, which naturally made Shu An even more satisfied.
However, Shu'an asked someone to find this disciple to reminisce. After all, Xue Rengui is considered to have an official position, so he visited Shu'an less often.
Fortunately, Shu An didn't care about this. The reason was very simple, that was, he was used to it. After all, there were so many disciples.
Even though Xue Rengui has been with him for a long time, there are still many people who have been there for a long time than Xue Rengui, such as Changsun Wuji.
"I don't know if the teacher wants his disciples to come, but I have any instructions."
Xue Rengui, who was standing beside him, said respectfully with some confusion on his face, with a hint of curiosity in his words.
"You should have heard of the matter above the court. I have won a quota for the army. If you can take charge of this elite soldier, it depends on your ability."
Shu An shook his head slightly and said slowly. It seemed that Xue Rengui felt a little addicted to the gentle place, but it was normal for him to be young.
In fact, he is not very optimistic about Xue Rengui. The reason is very simple, that is, this matter is not that simple.
Xue Rengui's shortcomings are also obvious, that is, he is still too young, but it depends on Xue Rengui's ability. If Li Shimin can be recognized, there is still a front-line opportunity.
As for Xue Rengui, he couldn't help but take a deep breath at this time, with a hint of excitement on his face.
