Chapter 343 Undercurrent, no money
As Shu'an plunged into the research gunpowder, the entire Chang'an was also undercurrent.
Because Li Shimin has taken action, it can be said that when he talks about sending troops to the grassland, Li Shimin's expression is very excited.
The confidant gathered for several consecutive days to formulate a complete plan. This time, some of the main force fell on Xue Rengui's head.
Of course, it was not that other dukes did not compete for it, but because they were unexpected.
If you know that the movement of troops in other places will definitely arouse Jie Li's awareness.
On the contrary, this new army has not been established for many years, and many people are still unaware of it.
If you march carefully, you will definitely be able to attack the Turks by surprise.
Of course, there are also results that Xue Rengui first proposed before, which can be regarded as rewarding.
"Rengui, I have also made great decisions this time."
After all the ministers left, Li Shimin also left Xue Rengui and said with great care.
You should know that Li Shimin not only wanted to set up a trap for Jie Li, but also wanted to wait until the Turkic robbery failed and sent troops to the grassland directly.
Li Shimin's idea was to defeat the Turks in one fell swoop, so the success or failure of Xue Rengui's first step determines many things.
If Xue Rengui did not achieve much results, then the plan might change.
"I will definitely live up to your Majesty's love!"
Xue Rengui's eyes flashed and said firmly, and he also knew the importance of this time.
The king and his minister said a lot, but on the one hand, the emperor was a decisive move.
It can be said that this time Li Shimin is to deepen Xue Rengui's loyalty.
Xue Rengui is naturally no exception now, and was so excited by Li Shimin's speech.
If you count it, Xue Rengui is definitely top-notch in terms of ability, but in terms of emotional intelligence, it is now a flaw.
If it were Changsun Wuji, then you would know His Majesty’s inner thoughts as soon as possible, and you would probably have a lot of fluctuations in your heart.
It was not until dusk that Li Shimin asked someone to send Xue Rengui away.
Obviously, Xue Rengui couldn't stay in Chang'an for a few days, but the reason was very simple, it was already autumn now.
In late autumn or before winter, foreign races will inevitably go south to rob.
So this requires Xue Rengui's new army to be launched, otherwise the time would definitely not be able to catch up.
After seeing Xue Rengui away, Li Shimin couldn't help but look satisfied.
Undoubtedly, Xue Rengui's attitude made him very satisfied. Li Shimin could not get any advantage in the face of those old foxes.
On the contrary, in Xue Rengui, Li Shimin found a long-lost sense of accomplishment.
"It's a pity that Cheng Qian wouldn't know what would happen if he was at Xue Rengui's age?"
Li Shimin murmured softly, obviously there is harm only when there is comparison. Thinking of his incompetent son, this emperor felt a little gloomy.
You should know that Xue Rengui is only four years older than Li Chengqian. Thinking of Gao Ming four years later, it is obvious that Li Shimin does not think he can compare with Xue Rengui.
"Maybe Qingque's words have some hope."
A soft murmur came from the darkness, but unfortunately this sound was destined to be impossible to spread.
Otherwise, it would definitely cause a storm that swept the entire palace.
At the same time, when Xue Rengui returned to the mansion, Lai Fu had been waiting for a long time.
The main reason is that Su Lie and others have had a relationship with Du Yun, so it is difficult for Shu Kuanghu to come forward.
Shu'an was busy making gunpowder, and the only person left was Lai Fu.
"Teacher Su is coming, that's great."
After hearing the butler's words, Xue Rengui said with a hint of joy on his face.
Although most of the new army's selection has nothing to do with Xue Rengui, it is still very easy for Xue Rengui to get one or two people.
Not to mention that this is Su Lie. Xue Rengui is aware of the truth and this one is exactly what the new army needs now.
Of course, Xue Rengui also smiled bitterly at Shu Kuanghu's rejection.
Because Shu Kuanghu can be considered a powerful general even in the army, but Xue Rengui is already very satisfied to be able to get Su Lie.
"I'm going to thank the teacher this time."
After understanding the cause and effect before and after, Xue Rengui did not forget the role of his teacher in it.
.........
As time goes by, no one except a few people knew that Xue Rengui's new army had secretly begun to head towards the border town in batches.
Similarly, there were many vehicles starting to transport food and grass in Chang'an. Of course, if you didn't observe carefully, you wouldn't find this abnormality at all.
Of course, even if you find this abnormality, you won’t notice that Li Shimin has made any big moves.
The autumn night is getting cooler, but the lights are brightly lit in the palace at this time.
Li Shimin and Changsun Wuji and other ministers gathered together, but their faces were a little bad at this time.
"What, the treasury will be out of money so quickly?"
Especially the emperor's face was very gloomy at this time. Even Li Shimin didn't expect that he would have no money so soon.
"Your Majesty, because this matter is too sudden, the treasury has not prepared much money."
Changsun Wuji took the lead in explaining that he should know that the troops and horses should not move, and food should be carried out first.
If you want to fight a war, the Tang Dynasty now has to prepare at least two months in advance.
Because the Tang Dynasty is now full of waste and there are many places to use money. In the past two months, it is to squeeze out some money for the treasury to send troops.
However, this time suddenly, there was no time to prepare, and even Changsun Wuji had some helplessness on his face.
Because even he didn't expect that the Ministry of Revenue could not allocate any money, and finally kicked the ball back to the emperor.
"Mr. Changsun said it well."
"Your Majesty, because you are going to send troops, you must also consider the winter. Whether it is food needs or warm things, you must prepare them."
Du Ruhui also spoke out, this time they have a common position on money.
Since the treasury has no money, I hope this emperor will get the money.
However, as the two said, Li Shimin's expression became even more ugly, because he seemed to have seen the thoughts of Fu Ji and others.
He just asked him to pay for it, and now the arrow is on the string, it can be said that he has to fire it.
But the key is that Li Shimin is really poor. Because he trained elite soldiers before, he bought most of his money because he bought food.
Although I earned a lot of money because of the Cuju venue, I have received food from the soldiers and subsidies for the poor before.
In fact, Li Shimin has overdrawn a large part of his money, of course Li Shimin still doesn’t know the concept of overdrawn.
Li Shimin was really poor at this time, and even this emperor didn't know where to give birth to a lot of money.
