The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 276 Money is not a problem

"What I want to tell you, His Royal Highness, is about the Liaodong strategy." Xuan Shijing laughed.

Originally, Xuan Shijing didn't intend to be troublesome, but when he saw Jin Yang sitting beside him, Xuan Shijing felt that if he wanted to propose marriage to His Majesty Li Er in the future, he still needed something that could be obtained, so he simply helped Li Chengqian in advance After making a layout in Liaodong, when His Majesty Li Er fights Goguryeo, it will be regarded as a dowry gift to the future father-in-law.

Xuan Shijing remembered that Goguryeo was originally conquered after Li Zhi became emperor. That is to say, His Majesty Li Er's expedition to Goguryeo did not make any substantial progress. This can be regarded as the period of His Majesty Li Er's reign A very depressing thing for him.

"Liaodong? Strategy?" Li Chengqian looked at Xuan Shijing.

"That's right, it is to deploy in Liaodong in advance." Xuan Shijing explained: "Do your highnesses know the current situation of Goguryeo?"

"Gaoguryeo is nothing more than Gao Jianwu and Quangai Su Wen fighting, but it doesn't seem to have much to do with Liaodong, right?" Li Ke said.

"Brother Jing means that there must be a war between the Tang Dynasty and Goguryeo, and if the Tang Dynasty conquers Goguryeo, it will definitely join Liaodong first." Jin Yang said.

Li Tai and Li Chengqian looked at each other, then looked at Xuan Shijing: "Xiao Jing wants to take this opportunity to make early preparations in Liaodong?"

"That's right, what a great opportunity. With the heavy snow disaster in Liaodong, no matter what is transported there or what is built, it will not be noticed by Goguryeo. This time, let's make a fuss about the disaster relief." From a bright point of view, no one would have thought that the Tang Dynasty would deploy in Liaodong so openly, and besides, Liaodong is not only targeting Goguryeo, but also the Wa Kingdom, Silla, and the various ministries of Mohe."

The biggest role of this place in Liaodong is to monitor and defend against the intrusions of these neighboring countries. If you want Liaodong's long-term stability, you must make Liaodong a military center that can be attacked and retreated.

"So you let the orphan go to Liaodong by himself. In fact, disaster relief is a small matter, and the layout of Liaodong is your main idea?" Li Chengqian asked.

"Yes, this kind of thing can only be done by you, and before you go, you have to discuss with His Majesty how to arrange it. Regarding these, the sum of the few of us is not as ruthless as His Majesty's vision." Xuan Xuan Shijing said.

"But the current state treasury." Li Chengqian frowned and said, "The current state treasury doesn't say that it supports the Great Tang's conquest of Koguryo. Cooking without rice."

Regarding the treasury issue raised by Li Chengqian, Xuan Shijing really had a headache. The Hou Mansion was not short of money, even Li Ke and Li Tai were not short of money because they were members of the Hou Mansion Chamber of Commerce, but the treasury was the treasury after all, and the general manager You can't let the money stack go directly to the national treasury, so Xuan Shijing is very curious about how the officials of Datang have managed the national treasury these years.

A huge treasury, the tax revenue of the Tang Dynasty, and the spoils plundered by the generals who went out to fight.
In addition to His Majesty Li Er's small treasury, the Ministry of Internal Affairs, even the money for disaster relief can only come up with [-] guan!

"Except for the [-] guan raised by the state treasury and the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the rest of the money is left to me and Jinyang. You know about the Jinyang Charity Fund. Now it's time to use it. But Since the treasury can't get the money out, you can't blame the Jinyang Charity Fund for taking away some of your reputation among the people at this time. After all, if you eat meat, you have to let the princes and ministers in Chang'an City drink some soup. The third brother of yours dominates and will always attract people's envy, and the Jinyang Charity Fund can be regarded as distracting the attention that is focused on you." Xuan Shijing thought for a while and said: "There is no shortage of money and food, now let's talk about the soldiers stationed in Liaodong thing."

"Well, the inability to solve the frostbite of the soldiers has always been a problem of mine." Li Ke said.

Compared to Li Chengqian and Li Tian, ​​Li Ke stayed in the army all year round, and he always had a special feeling for the sergeants of the Tang Dynasty. Perhaps it was because he spent a long time with them that Li Ke's temperament was not so good. Very strong, he also has a lot of concern for the soldiers in the barracks.

"The end of the year is approaching, where can I find so many doctors who are willing to go to Liaodong?" Li Tai said, "Xiao Jing, is there any good idea?"

"You really think that I am omnipotent. If the doctor doesn't want to go, can you still tie him up? But you can post a big reward. After all, there are very few people who can't live with money. Doesn't it mean that there must be a brave man under a big reward? You can try it, but the Liaodong soldiers have suffered from frostbite for a long time. Even if they pass this hurdle this time, what about in the future? In my opinion, it is most appropriate for the army to train a group of doctors themselves, but now there is no time. They can be recruited from all over the place." Xuan Shijing said.

"Brother Jing, if you treat the frostbite of the soldiers, you can also directly mix the medicine and ship it to Liaodong. In this case, the number of doctors going to Liaodong can be reduced by more than half." Jin Yang said.

"That's right!" Xuan Shijing squinted his eyes and said: "That's right, the medicinal materials for frostbite can be prepared in a house and sent directly to Liaodong. If it is a doctor. Your Royal Highness, how many people are there in the Imperial Hospital?"

"Little Jing, don't you want to send all the people from the Tai Hospital?" Li Chengqian looked at Xuan Shijing and asked.

"That's right, Your Highness, don't you think that people who are too hospital are a little too busy? Now is the time to use them." Xuan Shijing said, as for civilian doctors, you can't directly order them to go to Liaodong, but the palace The imperial physicians in the imperial hospital are different, working for the royal family, how dare you not listen to what the master says?Are you thinking of getting a promotion or a raise?

"But, what about the people in the palace?" Li Chengqian said, no matter whether it is the body of His Majesty Li Er or Empress Changsun, the palace cannot do without the imperial physician, not to mention that there are so many people in the palace, it is inevitable that someone will have a serious illness or a minor disaster.

"There are so many people in the imperial hospital, it is enough to keep a few. The rest, whether they are imperial physicians or apprentices, all follow the crown prince to Liaodong. This is a merit." Xuan Shijing said.

"Even so, the imperial physician is probably unwilling." Li Chengqian said.

"What's so difficult about that? Earning a reputation in this kind of thing is considered meritorious service. You should rush to it." Xuan Shijing said: "Why don't you have the spirit of sacrificing yourself at all? Your Royal Highness, it's time to test your charisma It's time, don't be cowardly."

Li Chengqian nodded blankly.

"Very good, now please Your Highness immediately order the imperial physicians of the imperial hospital to prepare medicinal materials for treating frostbite overnight, and use the [-] guan from the national treasury first!" Xuan Shijing said with clasped fists.

"Using money from the treasury?" Li Tai asked, "I'm afraid this will be criticized by the courtiers."

"Since His Highness the Crown Prince has decided to do it, why worry so much? At least believe me and Si Zi once, money is really not a problem!" Xuan Shijing laughed.
