The Strongest Imperial Grandson of the Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 1382: Admiral Tiance’s Mansion in Beijing

Li Xiang was indeed waiting for the situation in Samarkand City. In fact, Li Xiang's mentality had already known the outcome of the war, whether it was the Tang army, the Gaochang army, or the temporarily formed army in the Western Regions. , as long as they don't make too big a mistake, then the Arab Empire is unlikely to cause them much harm.

If it were the first time they fought, I'm afraid Li Xiang wouldn't be so sure. Counting, they have fought several times now. Although Li Xiang gave the Arab Empire a high evaluation in his heart, to be honest, now this In this case, they are still overestimated.

But during this time, many people within the court were talking about the issue of the war budget.

Li Xiang couldn't refute this. This was also what he first proposed. Every war must have certain benefits. Unless it is our Patriotic War, otherwise, all other wars must have certain benefits. .

When someone said this at that time, many people in the court refuted it, but after they refuted it for a while, they found that Li Xiang did not make any form of refutation. Only then did they know that Li Xiang also recognized this sentence. .

After all, we are also men. We stand no shorter than others. Everything we said before is true. How can we deny it now? Although Li Xiang did not refute these people's words, he also hoped that he could be given more time. This feedback would definitely come back after a while.

It has been more than half a month since the battle in Samarkand City ended. It is time for these people in Chang'an City to shut up. After a large amount of money was sent back from the front line, these people should understand.

The wars led by Li Xiang have never lost money, and they can also make you a lot of money. The money sent back now is already more than 1 million more than our military expenditures and post-war pensions. .

In addition, there are nearly 9,000 girls transported back from the front line. These are also our spoils of war. Li Xiang does not prohibit such things. This also allows all the people of the Tang Dynasty to see clearly that as long as you can win a battle If there is a war, then these people are our spoils.

But if you lose a war, your sisters may also be dragged into the market. Just to prevent our sisters from being harmed by others, then we must win this war and let everyone The common people can see clearly that after the war is over, all the differences between the victors and the losers can inspire everyone to move forward bravely towards victory.

"Ha ha ha ha…"

Li Xiang was reviewing official documents when a very familiar laughter came from outside. Su Dingfang had just returned from the Ministry of Household Affairs.

"Look at how successful you are as a villain. The adults in the Household Department are not trying to make things difficult for us. This is what I said myself at the beginning. Every war has a war cost. If we cannot cover this war cost, If so, then it would be better not to fight our war at all!”

Of course Li Xiang knows why Su Dingfang is so happy. Just now he took the banknote to the household department to return to his father's office. Didn't you say that we will definitely lose money? When those people saw the banknotes, Su Dingfang was extremely satisfied. When did our Admiral Tiance's office ever make the imperial court lose money when doing things? If it hadn't been for these years when we were fighting abroad, would you officials in the capital be so happy?

"Your Highness, you have a lot of people. You don't have to compete with those guys, but I can't. When I saw the villainous appearance of those guys, I wanted to beat them up. Now that I see our I got the money, and each one of them could say nice words again. I didn’t spare any of them. I returned to them one by one what they said in the main hall that day, and also let them know that they should look at the problem and don’t keep looking at it in the long term. If you just look at the account book in front of you, you won’t be able to become a big player in the future.”

When Su Dingfang said this, he felt very happy. When we were at the Jinluan Palace that day, these guys used their strongholds to demote the people in General Tiance's mansion to nothing. Let’s talk about the disadvantages of the fiscal crisis.

Since our Highness went to war, when have you ever had a financial crisis? Now it's just a trend. You people can't sit still anymore. In less than half a month, you should know the result, so you deserve a meal.

Li Xiang didn't know what to say about Su Dingfang's temper. Those people were not doing it purely for themselves. Many of them were also working hard for the construction of the entire Tang Dynasty. It was just that they were afraid of a financial crisis.

Take the entire Datang Dynasty now as an example. The financial budget has become the most important task every year. All places have already stipulated it. It is not the same as in the past. You can spend whatever you think of. Now most of the Money has its uses, because part of the money was misappropriated during the war, and of course it must be made up as soon as possible. If it is not made up, other work of the court will have to stop, and this will not affect the 10,000 or 20,000 ordinary people. Probably millions of ordinary people.

"By the way, Your Highness, those girls from the Western Region are already on their way. What do you have..."

Su Dingfang didn't finish what he said, but as a man, he understood that since these people are our trophies, they will be sold to Chang'an City anyway, so of course we must have priority.

"I have one head and three heads now. Go and have a look in my harem. Apart from all kinds of jealousies every day, I feel that I have no strength in my body. If you are willing to mediate, you can go there yourself. Just pick and choose, just make it out of your salary, and let the palace know the news."

Even if the beauty from the Western Region is very beautiful, Li Xiang really doesn't have that mood now. All kinds of things at home are bad enough, so Li Xiang doesn't have that idea now.

But Li Shimin and Li Chengqian were different. Originally, Li Shimin had already been idle, and most of the things were left to Li Chengqian and Li Xiang. But now that Li Xiang stayed in the capital, Li Chengqian didn't have much to do.

Both of these two people are energetic. If they are not given a breakthrough, I am afraid they will find out a lot of things. These women are all transported from the Western Regions. The slaves have no foundation at all. They are nothing more than She just looks better. Therefore, if he is picked by these two men, he will not pose any threat to Li Xiang, but will be able to help a lot. (End of chapter)
