Tang Dynasty good father-in-law

Chapter 345 Undercurrent, No Money
As Shu An plunged headlong into the study of gunpowder, the whole of Chang'an was also undercurrents.

Because Li Shimin has already acted, it can be said that Li Shimin is very excited when he mentions sending troops to the grassland.

He called his confidants for several days in succession in order to formulate a complete plan, and this time the main force fell on Xue Rengui unexpectedly.

Of course, it's not that the other princes didn't fight, but because of surprise.

If you want to know about the mobilization of soldiers and horses in other places, then Xieli must be aware of it.

On the contrary, this new army has not been established for a long time, and even now many people do not know about it.

If you march carefully, you will definitely be able to surprise the Turks.

Of course, there is also the result that Xue Rengui first proposed before, which can be regarded as a reward.

"Rengui, this time I also made a big decision."

After all the ministers left, Li Shimin deliberately left Xue Rengui behind and said quietly.

You must know that Li Shimin didn't just want to set a trap for Jieli, but he wanted to send troops directly to the grassland after the Turkic plunder failed.

It is Li Shimin's idea to directly defeat the Turks in one fell swoop, so the success or failure of Xue Rengui's first step determines many things.

If Xue Rengui doesn't achieve much results, then maybe the plan will change.

"The minister will live up to His Majesty's love!"

Xue Rengui's eyes flickered and he said firmly, he also knew the importance of this time.

The two monarchs and ministers said a lot of words, on the one hand, it was the emperor's move to calm down.

It can be said that Li Shimin this time is to deepen Xue Rengui's loyalty.

Now Xue Rengui is no exception, and Li Shimin's blood boiled with enthusiasm.

In terms of ability, Xue Rengui is definitely top-notch, but in terms of emotional intelligence, it is now considered a blemish.

If it was Changsun Wuji, then he would know His Majesty's inner thoughts at the first time, and estimate how many fluctuations there are in his heart.

It wasn't until almost dusk that Li Shimin asked Xue Rengui to be sent away.

Obviously Xue Rengui could not stay in Chang'an for a few days, the reason is very simple, it is already autumn.

If it is in late autumn or before winter, then the alien race will inevitably go south to plunder.

So this also requires that Xue Rengui's new army must also be deployed, otherwise the time will definitely not catch up.

After sending Xue Rengui away, Li Shimin couldn't help showing a hint of satisfaction on his face.

Undoubtedly, Xue Rengui's attitude made him very satisfied. Facing those old foxes, Li Shimin couldn't get any cheap.

On the contrary, in Xue Rengui, Li Shimin found a long-lost sense of accomplishment.

"Unfortunately, if Chengqian is at Xue Rengui's age, I don't know what will happen?"

Li Shimin murmured softly, it is obvious that there is harm only when there is a contrast, thinking of his son who is not up to date, this emperor feels a little gloomy in his heart.

You must know that Xue Rengui is only four years older than Li Chengqian. Thinking of his brilliance four years later, it is obvious that Li Shimin doesn't think he can be as good as Xue Rengui.

"Perhaps there is some hope in Qingque's words."

A soft murmur came from the darkness, but it was a pity that this voice was destined to be impossible to spread.

Otherwise, it will definitely cause a storm that sweeps the entire court.

At the same time, when Xue Rengui returned to the mansion, Laifu had already been waiting for a long time.

It was mainly because of the matter of Su Lie and others before, and because of Du Yun's relationship, it was difficult for Shu Kuanghu to come forward.

Shu An was busy making gunpowder, and only Lai Fu was the right candidate.

"It's great that Coach Su is coming."

After Xue Rengui heard the butler's words, a gleam of joy appeared on his face and he said.

Although most of the candidates for the new army had little to do with Xue Rengui, it was still very easy for Xue Rengui to squeeze in one or two people.

Not to mention that this is Su Lie, Xue Rengui knows everything, this person is exactly what the new army needs now.

Of course, Xue Rengui also smiled wryly at Shu Kuanghu's rejection.

Because even if Shu Kuanghu is in the army, he can be counted as a strong general, but Xue Rengui is already very satisfied to get Su Lie.

"Thank you teacher this time."

After understanding the cause and effect, Xue Rengui did not forget the role of his teacher in it.

As time went by, except for a few people, no one knew that Xue Rengui's new army had secretly started heading towards the border town in batches.

Similarly, the number of vehicles transporting grain and grass throughout Chang'an couldn't help but increase. Of course, if you didn't observe carefully, you wouldn't notice this abnormality at all.

Of course, even if this abnormality is found, Li Shimin will not find any big moves.

The autumn night is getting cooler, but at this time the palace is brightly lit.

Li Shimin, Changsun Wuji and other ministers gathered together, but at this time they all looked a little ugly.

"What, the treasury is out of money so soon?"

Especially this emperor's expression was very gloomy at this time, even Li Shimin didn't expect that he would run out of money so soon.

"Your Majesty, because this incident was too sudden, the treasury did not prepare much money."

Changsun Wuji was the first to explain aloud, you must know that the soldiers and horses have not moved, and the food and grass have gone first.

If a war is to be fought, Datang must prepare at least two months in advance.

Because now that the Tang Dynasty is full of waste, there are many places to spend money. The purpose of these two months is to squeeze out a sum of money from the national treasury for sending troops.

However, this time suddenly, there was no time to prepare at all, and even Changsun Wuji had some helplessness on his face.

Because even he didn't expect that the Ministry of Households would not be able to allocate any money, and finally the ball was kicked back to the emperor.

"My lord grandson is right."

"Your Majesty, because of the dispatch of troops, winter must also be taken into account. Whether it is food or warm things, it must be prepared."

Du Ruhui also said, this time they have a common position on money.

Since the treasury has no money, then we can count on this emperor to take the money.

However, as the two talked, Li Shimin's complexion became even more ugly, because he seemed to have seen the thoughts of the auxiliary machine and others.

It is to let him pay, and now it can be said that it has to be done.

But the key point is that Li Shimin is really poor. Most of his money was used to buy food because he trained elite soldiers before.

Although a lot of money was earned because of the Cuju field, it was because of the food for the soldiers and the subsidy for the poor that had been ordered before.

In fact, Li Shimin has already overdrafted a large part of his money. Of course, Li Shimin still doesn't know the concept of overdraft.

At this time Li Shimin was really poor, even this emperor didn't know where to make a lot of money for a while.
