Zhenguan Crown Prince Li Chengqian

Chapter 120 You Have to Fight With Your Life

"Your Highness, although there is enough money for building materials, the Ministry of Industry has too many projects in hand, and it really doesn't have that many manpower. In addition, in order to ensure the victory of the Northern Expedition, labor labor has been conscripted three times this year."

Gao Jian didn't want to shirk responsibility, but the Ministry of Industry was really too busy.

"Gao Shilang, I know that the Ministry of Industry is in trouble, but I can't neglect the martyrs who sacrificed for the country like this.

What is the purpose of them lying on the snow and climbing the ice, eating and sleeping in the open air? Is the pension given by the court worth their lives? "

"Since the labor has been collected, then spend money to hire it, and ask the Ministry of Households to increase the payment for you, so as not to let the people suffer."

Li Chengqian suppressed the anger in his heart. He couldn't forget those soldiers who fell beside him. They were so simple and kind, but they turned into cold corpses in an instant, and some of them didn't even stay.

This is not the worst, the worst is the wounded soldiers in Minzhou who killed themselves to feed their comrades.

If he wanted to do other things, he would definitely not go to the Ministry of Industry to inquire about the crime because of the participation of General Donggong, because he would think that his tolerance is too narrow.

But this time it was different, especially those soldiers with six ranks, they followed Li Chengqian through the wind and snow, climbed cliffs, walked down cliffs, and walked on this road to heaven, and none of them survived.

Those who have not experienced that battle will not understand the circumstances under which they defeated Xieli.

Duan Lun presented to Li Chengqian the document urging for weapons from the Ministry of War in his sleeve, and said: "Your Highness, although the battle on the front line is over, the requirement for the number of weapons has not been lowered. Only the replacement of the sixteen guards and the frontier army is a big problem." Numbers. Now in my hands."

Before Duan Lun finished speaking, Gao Jian took over the conversation, now he has to complain to the crown prince, maybe he can get rid of the work of the Ministry of Industry, and replace it with someone in his own hands.

"Your Highness, why don't you talk to Your Majesty about whether you can wait for a few more months. Once the Ministry is relieved, the officials will definitely go all out. The court can't just care about them, the officials of the Ministry of Industry are also very hard of."

Hey, Li Chengqian threw the document presented by Duan Lun directly on Gao Jian's face, pointed at him and shouted: "Gao Shilang, do you think I'm discussing with you? Is your Majesty's order something you can bargain for?
The soldiers are fighting with their lives, and you f-cking are also fighting for my life.Don't think that being from the mother clan of this palace can speak freely here. "

By doing this, Li Chengqian directly confused Gao Jian.He originally wanted to sell well with Li Chengqian, but he didn't expect to make this young master very popular.

"Your Highness, don't be angry. Gao Shilang is still very attentive when he is on duty. He has never fought a war and doesn't know what is going on on the battlefield. Please be merciful and don't argue with him."

Of course Li Chengqian scolded Gao Jian the most, Duan Lun, who was exhausted all day.Although he is also a relative of the emperor, but Li Yuan has passed away after all, how can he compare with the queen's cousin.

"Your Highness, you should know the current financial resources of the imperial court. It is very difficult to increase the funds. Moreover, the production of weapons cannot be stopped. If the supply of border defense is cut off, there will be big troubles.

However, if His Highness can get some money and transfer some craftsmen from the industrial zone, the old minister promises to finish the work on time.Do you see? "

Or if Duan Lun can be a minister but he can't, he understands the official characters clearly.Not only can I not delay my errand, but also not offend the prince, it's the best of both worlds.

"Okay, you don't need to worry about the money, I will come to find a solution. You can talk to Zhang Xuansu and Du Gou about the craftsman. Duan Shangshu, no matter how much money you spend, you can't chill the hearts of the frontline soldiers."

After finishing speaking, he walked down the steps, patted Duan Lun and left the Ministry of Industry.Seeing that Gao Jian hadn't reacted yet, a sneer flashed across Duan Lun's face.

"Gao Shilang, these soldiers are not only heroes of the country, but also the robes of His Royal Highness. I heard that this time he and the prince accompanied the six soldiers to the expedition and suffered heavy casualties. As his cousin, you should understand him."

After all, he was in a yamen, so he still had to pick up his suitcase when it was time to remind him.Although this guy is a bit domineering and outrageous, he is better than those people who are full of bad things.

"Yes, what Lord Shangshu said is that the subordinate officials didn't think carefully. They didn't appreciate the love and care His Royal Highness has for his subordinates."

"Okay, let's go on an errand. If you want to restore your impression with His Highness, you have to work harder."

Looking at the back of Gao Jian leaving, Duan Lun couldn't help shaking his head. Gao Shilian had been smart all his life, but his nephew didn't teach him well, and he thought Li Chengqian was that baby prince so easy to fool.

"I heard that you got angry in the lobby of the Ministry of Industry during the day and scolded Gao Jian." Li Shimin, who had been busy with government affairs all day, relaxed his numb arms and asked Li Chengqian with a smile.

"Shen Guogong must have come to ask, I really don't know what the old man thinks.

That Gao Jian was so used to him that he was really outrageously typical of high-sightedness and low-handedness. If the affairs of the court were so easy to handle, why would they still be allowed to be this official. "

Hahaha. Hearing his son's comment made Li Shimin laugh heartily.If it weren't for Gao Shilian's favor, how could it be the turn of this plump boy to take such an important position as Minister of the Ministry of Industry.

"Shen Guogong also has no choice, his brother is only such a posthumous child, if he can help him, he must help.

As long as you don't commit too many serious crimes, the Gao family still needs to give preferential treatment. After all, your mother was raised by the Gao family, and you don't forget the well digger when you drink water. "

Alas, of course Li Chengqian knew this truth, otherwise he wouldn't have let him go so easily during the day.Whose family does not have a few poor relatives, and the emperor's family is naturally no different. There is no way to do this.

"No, I understand. I ordered Du Gou to recruit the best craftsmen to participate. They will assist Duan Shangshu to ensure that the project is completed on time, and we cannot let those soldiers cry after bleeding."

In Li Shimin's view, Li Chengqian's ability to love soldiers like a son is entirely due to his excellent genes.

"The imperial court is studying how to resettle those refugees, so you should pay more attention to the matter of the military mausoleum."

Of course he understood what Li Shimin meant. Right now, there are still so many refugees waiting to be resettled on the grassland. The financial resources of the imperial court are indeed stretched, and it is not easy to spend so much money.

"Nuo, please rest assured that it is the duty of the minister to share the worries of the emperor and the father, and if he can do his part for those brothers, the minister will feel much better."

Seeing Li Chengqian's sadness, he felt the same way. How could he, the emperor, not know how tragically the Battle of Dingxiang was won.
