Tang Dynasty good brother-in-law

Chapter 643 Black Hearted Merchant Willow
Several days passed, not to mention Cheng Yaojin, even Li Daozong couldn't find Liu Muren there.

Seven days later, the Tai Chi Hall in Chang'an City.

Cheng Yaojin was sitting in the middle of the hall at the court meeting, crying with tears and snot, the one who cried was sad.

Li Shimin, Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, sat in front of Cheng Yaojin himself: "Why is Zhijie so sad?"

As soon as Cheng Yaojin heard Li Shimin's question, he immediately took out a thick and messy stack of papers from his arms and stuffed it to Li Shimin: "Saint, old Cheng is incompetent, old Cheng really can't complete the things that the saint told. Old Cheng these days It’s an exaggeration to say, but it still doesn’t even have the equipment for an army.”

Li Shimin took the stack of papers, flipped through a few pages and then handed them to Cui Junsu and Du Ruhui.

After Cui Junsu and Du Ruhui looked through it, they both sighed at the same time.

A top-grade iron knife costs 750 Wen, which is a very reasonable price, and the iron knife produced in Huayuan is definitely several times better than the ones in Chang'an.

Then a light infantry breastplate and other complete sets cost only [-] Wen.

And there is a persuasion on the above, the iron knife sold in Chang'an City cuts the front of the breastplate, if you can't break ten knives before the armor is damaged to the point where it can't be used, double the money will be refunded.

Bow, steel tire bow.The arrows are all steel arrowheads.

Then there are baggage carts, military shoes, medical kits, etc., everything you need for an expeditionary force.It was the first time for Cui Junsu to see many things, but after reading the description, Cui Junsu, a civil servant, knew that this was a must-have product in the army.

Such an army would have at least five times, or even ten times, the combat power of the original simply equipped soldiers.

Right now, the elite frontier army and guard army can easily triple their combat power.

"Saint, the price given by Huayuan County...is a price of conscience. All these equipment are useful, and the total price of the first army is only less than twice that of the original elite frontier army, not to mention the medicine and equipment of the military medical corps , It is indeed the price of conscience." Cui Junsu is qualified to say that as the Minister of the Ministry of Households.

Du Ruhui also echoed: "Sage, this price is fair, very fair."

Li Shimin sneered in his heart. He could be said to be one of the few people in Datang who knew the cost of various materials in Huayuan.Except for Li Bi, few people in Huayuan County knew the cost of all these things.Or know a few things, but definitely not all of them.

Take the iron knife as an example, Li Shimin knew that it was indeed better than the ones sold in Chang'an city.

But the cost, a knife does not include a scabbard, with an ordinary wooden handle, it only costs about 140 yuan.This cost also includes material costs, machine consumption costs, labor costs, and short-distance transportation costs.

Li Shimin asked, "According to the two ministers, how much is this beneficial?"

"Very little, negligible profit." Cui Junsu gave an answer.

"Saint..." Cheng Yaojin hugged Li Shimin's thigh and began to cry again: "There is no military equipment, and the northern expedition is hard. I beg the saint to order three thousand elites from the Liu Consort Training Camp to Lao Cheng. Lao Cheng is suffering, and Lao Cheng is great." Tang shed blood, Lao Cheng and Shu Bao fought the most difficult battle with the saint, and the saint can't watch Lao Cheng bring the old, weak and disabled soldiers to the battlefield."

Li Shimin was thinking all over his head, why Liu Mu made such a big profit.

If you want to say that Liumu wants gold or silver, just ask.

What will the willow wood be made of?
Li Shimin was in a daze, Cheng Yaojin didn't cry anymore, he glanced quietly at Li Shimin, changed his plan after two turns, ran out quickly, and then rushed back with a few big boxes on his back.

Seeing that Li Shimin was about to return to the throne, Cheng Yaojin hugged Li Shimin's leg again with a vicious tiger pounce.

"Sage, with these equipments, you can give Lao Cheng half an army, plus the 900 people in the Qingheyu training camp, Lao Cheng dares to single out Gaochang Wangcheng."

Li Shimin finally spoke: "What's the opinion of the household department?"

"Gaochang must go, and it must be taken by thunder. I don't know what is special about the soldiers in the Qinghe training camp, but since General Cheng needs the household department, he is willing to help."

Cui Junsu made his statement, and after whispering to Du Ruhui, he stepped forward and came to Li Shimin's side: "Saint, there were hundreds of nearly a thousand silver balls left in the treasury of the former Sui Dynasty, and one weighed almost a hundred catties. Your opinion It is to give these to the four counties in the north, and let the excess be exchanged for refined silver coins and returned to the Ministry of Households."

Li Shimin wants to say, do you think it is possible to return it if you pull it over?
However, Li Shimin thought of Shi Jian Yinshan, and immediately said: "This matter, the Ministry of Accounts will work hard. Make a settlement of the accounts of the General Shipping Department and the Accounts Department in the first half of the year, as well as the accounts of the four northern counties. Since Cheng Zhijie is asking for troops, then I am in charge of the high allocation of one army, the middle allocation of two armies, and the low allocation of two armies."

"Sage, Qingheyu training camp." Cheng Yaojin immediately opened the account.

"Zhijie, it's okay if you want soldiers from the Qingheyu training camp. Next year, you will replace Jingde as General Shence Wei for two years."

"Don't do it, Shubao will be back soon, it's better to keep him." When Cheng Yaojin heard that next year, he immediately became unwilling. Within two years, the Tang Dynasty would definitely use troops against the Turks, and he was not reconciled to such a big battle. miss.

Li Shimin didn't give Cheng Yaojin a good look: "You just say, whether you want it or not."

"Is it okay for a year?" Cheng Yaojin's face is definitely the thickest in Datang, he was crying just now, but now he has a charming smile on his face.

Li Shimin kicked Cheng Yaojin: "For two years, you are allowed to transfer the eight regiments of the Shencewei Qingheyu training camp, and prepare your own auxiliary soldiers."

Cheng Yaojin's eyes rolled quickly, and he was thinking about countermeasures, because it was impossible for ordinary auxiliary soldiers to serve as auxiliary soldiers for Shen Cewei, and they would be delayed unless they were ineffective.

But before Cheng Yaojin could think of a countermeasure, Li Shimin had already announced his withdrawal from the court.

After everyone in the Tai Chi Hall had left, only Cheng Yaojin was still standing there in a daze. His original plan was to trick Liu Mu into 3000 troops, then [-] regular soldiers, [-] auxiliary soldiers, and then find another [-] auxiliary soldiers. Soldiers, so that they can exert their maximum combat power, because the auxiliary soldiers of the Qingheyu training camp are not weak at all.

Now plans are disrupted.

There are only 600 people in eight regiments. This manpower must be strong for a small-scale war.

In the battle of Gaochang King City, it would be a battle to face [-] enemy troops, and this manpower would not be of much use.

Looking for Yu Chigong, I guess I will be scolded back.

It's a pity that Qin Qiong is not here, otherwise there will be someone who can help me talk about it.This willow is obviously hiding, unwilling to borrow someone, and unwilling to make the equipment cheaper.

Trouble, quite trouble.

Outside the Tai Chi Hall, there were ministers discussing in low voices.

Someone asked his colleagues in a low voice: "You said, the soldiers in the Qingheyu training camp are very good?"
