Prince of Tang Dynasty is too arrogant

Chapter 173 There is a mine at home, 80 troops!
It was already ten o'clock in the evening when we returned to Youzhou Prefect's Mansion. If we want to return to Liangzhou City now, it must be late at night...

Rather than hurrying at night, it is better to spend the night with the two princesses. After warming up, we will start tomorrow morning...

In the early morning of the next day, Li Chengqian set off for Liangzhou City with two thousand Bei Wei soldiers!
At this time, Li Er was enjoying the breakfast cooked by the chef of Liangzhou City with several ministers...

In fact, Li Er still has some nostalgia, always thinking about eating and eating with the veterans who used to fight the world together... It's a pity that things are different now, and the monarchs and ministers are different, and the ministers will no longer be as relaxed as before. ………….
But Li Er enjoys this kind of life very much. He no longer has to get up to wash up in the dark, endure the cold to go to court in the morning, and leave the court without being hungry... 0
No wonder that Nizi always likes to sleep until he wakes up naturally, this taste is really comfortable... This is the life that an emperor should have, but Li Er is determined to be a wise king through the ages, so he only allows himself to indulge until the end of the year... ....
After the New Year's Eve, I must bring the ministers back to Chang'an City......

While Li Er was enjoying his meal, the old eunuch outside the door came in, and the spy's voice reported, "Report to Your Majesty! Your Highness, the Prince, please see me!"

Li Er directly waved his hand and said, "No, no! I don't see that rebellious son..."

"This palace has already said that you don't need to report it!"

Before Li's second words were finished, Li Chengqian rushed in directly, and then asked with some doubts: "Who does the emperor not want to see?"

"Hmph!" Li Er snorted coldly, turned his head away, and stopped talking!
Li Chengqian sat directly on the chair and said, "Go, fill me with a pair of bowls and chopsticks!"

Li Er said indifferently: "Don't fill in for this rebellious son!"

Li Chengqian said with a smile at the corner of his mouth: "Father doesn't even look at it, whose house is this in?"

While talking, Li Chengqian was eating big chunks. He started to eat...!
It's business to eat yourself!

A few ministers were eating in silence. Between the father and son, they didn't dare to get angry... Besides, the breakfast was better than the one made by the Imperial Dining Room, how could they not eat more...

After Li Er was full, he motioned to the maid at the side to remove the bowls and chopsticks, and then he put on a majestic look and said: "Huh! When I passed by the Liangzhou post station! Someone asked me to buy road money? But you rebellious son Authorized?"

Li Chengqian said lightly: "The rules of Liangzhou City, even the ministers themselves must abide by, let alone the father!"

"you!"

Li Er was so angry that he couldn't speak.

On the other hand, Li Chengqian turned his head and looked at Changsun Wuji. This uncle holds the largest and best high-grade iron mine in Datang. Isn't the uncle's family's mine his own...

Changsun Wuji trembled from Li Chengqian's eyes, as if he was being targeted by a beast...

Immediately, he stood up, bowed and cupped his hands and said, "I don't know that His Royal Highness has something to discuss with the old minister!"

There is no way, this stalemate is not an option, I can only speak out to break this embarrassment...

Li Chengqian clasped his hands and said, "I want to build some armor recently! But Liangzhou and Youzhou are poor and lack iron ore!"

As for this uncle who owns a mine at home, he can't let it go...

When Changsun Wuji heard this, he was not only not sad, but also very happy... because he finally has a place to play...

Now that His Highness the Crown Prince is gaining power, he is the future heir. No one can shake his position above the court...... What's more, he has always supported His Highness the Crown Prince...

However, facing this elusive His Royal Highness, the Crown Prince, is really too much pressure...Because a few days ago, His Highness the Crown Prince said in front of all the civil and military officials that he wanted Duke Ying, a warrior, to be the The head of the hundred officials......

This makes him, the head of a hundred officials, how can he not panic... Now that he has the opportunity to curry favor with His Highness the Crown Prince, he must firmly grasp the opportunity...

Changsun Wuji hurriedly stood up, bowed his hands and said, "I don't know how much iron ore His Royal Highness wants to use!"

Li Chengqian asked lightly: "How much iron ore do you need to make armor for an army of 80?"

"Cough, cough, cough!"

"Sigh~~"

Li Er was choked and coughed!

The ministers couldn't help but gasped, and were so shocked that they couldn't speak...

Cheng Yaojin stammered and asked: "His Royal Highness, you, what did you just say?"

Li Chengqian said indifferently: "Let's talk about the last time, how much iron ore does it take to build armor for an 80-strong army?"

At this moment, everyone present became quiet, and the air seemed to freeze, causing them to forget to breathe...

Heartbeat gradually began to speed up!
How many troops are there in total in Datang?

The sum of all the border troops is probably less than 20......

His Highness the Crown Prince is going to forge armor for an army of 80 troops... Doesn't that mean that His Highness the Crown Prince has four times the strength of the Tang Dynasty...

I'm afraid that half of my own iron mines will be dug away...

Li Er's face was flushed with excitement, with an army of 80, and this Nizi still has hundreds of thousands of horses in his hands, doesn't that mean that half of the army of 80 are cavalry...

No wonder, no wonder this rebel was able to take down five Turkic cities overnight!
Cheng Yaojin, Yu Chigong, and Li Ji felt that it was difficult for them to breathe, because they usually command thousands of troops but only [-], not more than [-] at all...

If there are 80 troops at their command, wouldn't they be invincible...

Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, and Su Quan were thinking, if the Tang Dynasty had an army of 80, wouldn't it mean that all nations would come to the court and pay tribute one after another to fear the majesty of the Tang Dynasty...

Li Er and the ministers are immersed in their own fantasies...

Li Chengqian coughed twice and said, "Ahem! How long will it take to deliver the iron ore to Youzhou?"

Changsun Wuji swallowed hard, and said, "His Royal Highness! My eldest grandson's family's iron mines can only produce armor for 20 troops a year!"

Li Chengqian said indifferently: "Now you can give me as much as you have! I won't lose you a cent of this money!"

The iron refining method can more perfectly extract the iron in the iron ore. It is still very easy to extract the armor needed by the 20 army with the iron ore needed for the armor of the 40 army...

After all, Datang's ironmaking technology is relatively backward, and the waste of iron ore is serious...

Li Er squinted his eyes, panting and asked, "Gao Ming! Do you really have an army of 80?"
