Chapter 915: The Li Family's Operation

As an emperor, what he wants to see most is a warehouse full of rice and grain, and now he has begun to worry about how to consume this food.

The more food there is, the more annoying it is, and the price of opening a shop to sell it will definitely be higher.

The caravan entered the imperial city, and all the people in the city already knew that there was a large amount of grain to arrive, and they all went to the streets to see the bustle.

"Hahaha, with these grains, I can go out to fight."

He didn't care that Li Jiancheng's soldiers and horses had suffered huge losses, and what he could rely on at present was his own soldiers and horses and Li Shimin's newly recruited soldiers and horses.

As the emperor, he doesn't think about whose soldiers and horses it is, as long as he can mobilize them, and now that he has obtained so much food, how can he satisfy his ambitions if he doesn't take action.

At this time, the eldest grandson Wuji was telling Li Shimin about the sale of armor in Youzhou, which was expensive, but every piece of armor was a rare weapon.

If you can use Youzhou's armor to equip a team of 10,000 soldiers and horses, the combat effectiveness will be increased by at least 30%.

You must know that the strength of Li Shimin's soldiers and horses is already very strong, and if you increase the combat power by three percent, three thousand Xuanjia soldiers can fight three times the enemy.

Thinking about it, what you see on the battlefield is not the combat effectiveness of thousands of people but a whole, and Li Shimin at this time has already moved his heart.

"It seems that the timber business will continue, have you learned other news when you go to Youzhou this time, what kind of project does Youzhou use so much wood?"

Li Shimin is a pragmatic person, although he knows some news through the newspaper, but after all, he can't believe everything.

"Youzhou is building a park, wood is used to build a high-end residential area next to the park, I also saw the project drawings, those buildings are independent courtyards, three-story building style, it is said that the price of a set of 100,000 yuan."

"One hundred thousand, isn't that the same as the General's Mansion." Li Shimin said curiously.

In fact, no, the eldest grandson Wuji saw that the project drawings were drawn in three dimensions, and it seems that the construction area of the three-story pavilion is not too large, and the construction area of the pavilion is 500 square meters, counting the courtyard, no more than 1,000 square meters.

Large dwellings can reach 2,000 square meters, the price is several times that of small pavilions, and the infrastructure is more such as cement pools.

In the eyes of the eldest grandson Wuji, it is used to raise fish, but it is actually a swimming pool.

Li Shimin was also surprised when he learned about it, 100,000 yuan was only bought in such a place, and a fool would buy it.

That's what he thinks in his heart, but with his understanding of Li De, since he can build such a house, it will definitely be sold.

It's just that he doesn't know what the outcome will be.

What the eldest grandson Wuji learned was just a surface, not to look at the wooden structure of the wooden building, the construction is very sound, especially the upper and lower water pipes are made of cement masonry and independent passages.

The pipes for drinking water are all fired, and the outside is sealed with cement masonry.

The pressure of the upper and lower water is provided by the equipment of the steam room with independent heating, and the water used is pumped groundwater, not only the water supply and heating are independent.

The annual maintenance fee needs to be paid for the property, and it must be a lot of money to buy a house.

Many things cannot be seen from the surface, and Li Shimin's questioning of these questions is nothing more than wanting to know more about the news in Youzhou.

In his opinion, Youzhou has been able to develop to this extent by virtue of various unexpected ways, and if he can, he hopes to be able to understand all the things in Youzhou.

However, the ability of the shadow guard and the red peony in Youzhou City is too strong, and some of the people arranged before have been found.

Plus now he has more than one thing to do less.

"Mowgli, how much grain did you buy this time?"

Li Shimin asked how much grain the eldest grandson Wu bought for his soldiers and horses.

"Your Highness, the timber of a caravan and the profits of the shops for a year are all used to buy grain, which is worth about 50,000 yuan of grain."

The eldest grandson Wuji took advantage of it, because he was helping the imperial court, so the freight was naturally paid by the big head.

"It's too little."

Li Shimin pointed out that there is less money or less food.

The eldest grandson Wuji didn't want to guess that he just had to be responsible for doing the things arranged by Li Shimin, and he didn't have to think too much.

When they were discussing things, Li Yuan sent someone to call Li Shimin into the palace.

"Father, what's the matter with the sick son?"

"There are so many forces in the world, I am the emperor who can't sleep well, and now your eldest brother and third brother have captured Shuofang City for the Tang Kingdom, I hope you can also recover the lost territory for the Tang Kingdom."

"The father has a goal, and the son will definitely do his best."

Li Shimin was a little excited.

"The news from Shuo Fang said that Xie Tianbao, the king of Gansu, has sent troops to patrol the border many times, and I want your eldest brother to lead the troops to the battle, but you need to mobilize the 100,000 soldiers and horses in your hands, of course, as compensation, you can recruit another 200,000 soldiers and horses with the generals in Taiyuan Mansion, and the required food and salary will be provided by the military department."

Li Yuan said that even he himself was definitely a little embarrassed, so that he knew that he really owed something to his second son.

Li Shimin was a little silent, but without taking a breath, he decided that he had no way to resist and could only agree.

The current 100,000 soldiers and horses are exchanged for 200,000 soldiers and horses, and the food and salary are all paid by people, and the delay is only time.

And, of course, his prestige, and it takes more than just time to train this team.

Li Shimin is unwilling and has no choice, and now his situation is like this.

"Father, the 100,000 soldiers and horses newly recruited by the sons and ministers have not been able to gather their armor because of limited financial resources."

Li Yuan knew what Li Shimin's situation was, as long as he didn't move his Xuanjia soldiers, there would be no problem, but it was a little embarrassing to solve the cost of 100,000 soldiers and horses.

Now that I compare it, I still think that Li Shimin is more worry-free, but after thinking about it, I found that none of his sons are worry-free.

Li Shimin returned to the Qin Palace, did not express any dissatisfaction, and still asked his 100,000 newly recruited soldiers to be arranged by his father as usual.

He didn't tell nonsense, the armor of 100,000 soldiers and horses was really incomplete, not only was it incomplete, but even the training was in a rudimentary state.

The new soldiers and horses do not include the 50,000 soldiers and horses that were brought back by the eldest grandson Wuji before, and Li Shimin really has no extra money in his hands to build equipment for 100,000 soldiers and horses.

His main investment was in the expansion of the 2,000 Xuanjia soldiers, and the horses consumed almost all of his savings.

He earned 100,000 recruits in exchange for 200,000 recruitment places, but he must be uncomfortable in his heart, which is equivalent to being picked by his father and eldest brother.

Li Shimin is not a fool, what he wants is to pay his soldiers, otherwise no one will be able to mobilize 100,000 new soldiers.

Li Yuan is very decisive, 100,000 soldiers and horses are a big help for him, and he must be sent to Shuofang immediately, otherwise it will affect the fighters.
