Tang Dynasty good brother-in-law

Chapter 933 Call for Soldiers
For the first time, these slave soldiers saw the enthusiasm of the people in Datang for gambling.

Slowly, some slave soldiers took out a few coins to participate in it.

The Tang army's logistics troops were second-line troops, and this slave cavalry was not considered weak. Ten soldiers were quickly dispatched from each side, shirtless, ready to fight.

Liu Mu is not interested in watching the competition, as long as these small problems are solved.

For today's matter, Liu Mu believes that if he expresses his attitude, others will understand how to deal with such problems in the future, not to mention that among the Tang army, Shiwei people, Khitan people, and Turkic people also have various customs and habits.

Tang embraced the world.

In Chang'an, unlike Liumu, who was biting a pipe and sipping tea and laughing about the life and death of the enemy, Li Shimin, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, got up from the pile of files again, punched a set of punches and moved his body.

Then, as the emperor, Li Shimin picked up a thermos and added some hot water to his teacup. After taking a sip of tea, Li Shimin leaned against the desk and picked up the report he had just read.

In the eyes of the Romans, Tang Dynasty was a country where even the roofs were covered with gold and everyone wore silk.

But right now the report in Li Shimin's hand represents another meaning.

That is: lack of supplies.

Even, supplies are extremely scarce.

Li Shimin stretched out his hand and shook the bell on the table. After a clerk entered, Li Shimin asked, "Is there any result from the cabinet meeting?"

"Returning to the saint, not yet. But a preliminary report has been given, and the secretary is sorting out and transcribing it. It will be sent to the study in a quarter of an hour at most."

"Tell me the content."

"Saint, this preliminary report first targets four kinds of materials. The demand for bristles is huge, and the big families of the state capitals are required to take the lead. They must have more than [-] pig farms. The state capitals can coordinate moderately with each other, which is more suitable The number of pig farmers should be doubled, and it is not suitable for dozens of states in the south of the Yangtze River, all of which are water towns, and they help raise pigs in other ways.”

Pig bristles are an important raw material for making various brushes. The demand for brushes used to clean the decks of ships at sea is already amazing, not to mention that other industries also need them.

Some people use soft bamboo sticks to brush, but because it is too hard, it suddenly hurts people, and it can't clean the deck.

"Sage, according to the Tianshan Development Report of Liu's son-in-law on the Tianshan Mountains, the cotton fields are under construction, but there are still some rebels in the Western Turks who will cause huge troubles to the white velvet fields. The initial opinion is to develop the white velvet fields in Hebei..."

"About sugar and salt...

Li Shimin breathed a sigh of relief, the most important material for people's livelihood is basic necessities of life.

At present, the transportation problem has been solved a lot, and it is faster and more convenient to rely on steam tugboats upstream than relying on human power.

"Excuse me, I'm going to listen to the cabinet meeting."

When Li Shimin came to the cabinet meeting place, he did not send anyone to disturb the meeting. He entered a rest room alone through the side door, where he could see and hear the cabinet meeting.

After Li Shimin sat down, the first thing he saw were two old men who together should be 150 years old. He didn't know who they were, because the hats were ripped off and they were pulling each other's beards.

The people next to him were also arguing, and they didn't try to persuade the two old men who were arguing at all.

After Li Shimin asked someone to come over and inquire, he knew that the content of the two quarrels was very simple, that is, the struggle between the peasants and the workshops. In special areas, who assists whom.

There are still people arguing next to it, and it belongs to the emerging aristocrats who rose by trade and industry and the conservative aristocrats of Nongxing.

Then there is whether the military is fully attacking the Western Turkic rebels, or is it fully attacking and sweeping the Indochina Peninsula.

In addition, Qiandao Road found more richer and more valuable islands during the expedition of the Supreme Emperor.So should we stick to the original Luzon Island and strengthen development, or expand the scope of development.

and also……

Li Shimin listened happily.

He has long known that different thoughts have different impacts when he thinks about them, and that new ideas and old concepts also have impacts.

Of course, there are also the interests of various families and classes.

At least one thing Li Shimin is satisfied with. The Tang cabinet has made countless noises, and they have never thought of harming agriculture. Without exception, they all believe that agriculture is the root. Datang's awareness of land protection is surprisingly high.

Everyone thinks that even if everything is destroyed, only Datang's Nongben is still there, and he can turn around again.

Li Shimin was always very satisfied listening to the discussion, and progress was made only when there were disputes.

At this time, Li Jing entered the lounge and sat beside Li Shi after saluting: "Saint, Concubine Liu won a battle in Rome. He defeated the enemy with [-] slave soldiers and [-]. The number of military supplies submitted by King Yan has increased. Thirteen times, just now the cabinet has discussed, requesting to increase the production capacity of Fukuoka Steel Works, or to build a bigger steel workshop.”

"Well, it's feasible, you need to have a vision." After Li Shimin commented, he returned to listening to the cabinet debate.

Li Jing continued: "Sage, Prince Liu thinks that on the northern line, if the Kingdom of Saracen is beaten too hard, they may choose to go south to the sea, and then find a new place for development. Prince Liu asked the East Sea Navy to go to support, The minister agrees to block the way to the sea of ​​the Saracen Kingdom."

Li Shimin's face darkened slightly.

Li Shimin remembers what Liu Mu said. More than 100 years later, due to the Anshi Rebellion in the Tang Dynasty, 20 Arab and Persian merchants attacked Guangzhou. Even the treasury was emptied, and many Guangzhou people were killed.

Look for business opportunities abroad!

Li Shimin smiled coldly:
"Drop the South China Sea Division to support the first battalion, transfer the North China Sea Division to support the first battalion, and then transfer a battalion of new ships and recruits from the newly built ships, and let the East China Sea Division take them there. Order the newly formed Datang Royal Navy The division is temporarily helping the East China Sea division to guard the waters of the East China Sea."

"The sage is wise. It's just that so many ships have been transferred, I don't worry about the defense of the Datang sea area, only worry that these warships will be useless in the past."

Li Jing's worries were not superfluous.

The old battleships have been returned to the coastal state capitals or to the transport ships.The Donghai Division currently has four battalions, each battalion has twelve warships ranging from 500 to [-] materials, and each battleship has more than [-] crew members.

According to Li Shimin's request, seven battalions were sent, and the number of ships and marines was as high as 4000.

There are 84 large battleships.

This kind of power is enough to start a war of not a small scale, plus the manpower brought by Liu Mu before, and the slave soldiers controlled by Liu Mu over there.

It is possible for this powerful military to launch a medium-scale war of extermination in the Mediterranean.

It is just to prevent the Arabian Saracen Kingdom from going out to sea and developing. Is this too many troops, or is it wasted?
