Chapter 514: The County Lord reminds
Anyway, this is the case, Li De's battle report is very clear, if the court can have a reward, it will be a matter for Emperor Yang of Sui.
The reason why Emperor Yang of Sui was angry was not because the vanguard had strong strength, but because his original plan to use the Luo family and the Li family to restrain Li De failed.
The Yanyun cavalry of the Luo family has been tied to the vanguard, and now it is the most dangerous, and Li Shimin is now serving as the defender of Youzhou City, and this official position is not appointed through the imperial court.
Emperor Yang of Sui felt very uncomfortable.
Threats to the imperial power are always the number one taboo, but what can he do, he cares more about the power of the Guanlong nobles than Li De.
"Youzhou soldiers and horses have merit, so reward them." Emperor Yang of Sui said in a deep voice.
The father-in-law next to him immediately responded, and ordered him to do something.
It didn't take long for the emperor's reward to arrive, and he was promoted to make a fortune, Emperor Yang of Sui was not stingy this time, so Luo Yi's official position was promoted, and now he is a general, and from this point on, he can already command a team of 10,000 soldiers.
Li De's side rewarded more, in addition to money, more things needed by the palace for consumption, and transported more than 20 carts.
"Husband, what does Your Majesty mean by this, I didn't send you these things to target you." Pei Qingxuan asked.
"It's not simple, my husband's ability has been jealous of the royal brother, and I may have sent these out of helplessness." Princess Lanling said.
"Oh, how do you say that?" Li Xiuning asked.
"If Youzhou City defeats the Turks, if you don't pay for your merits, what will the people of the world say, won't the limelight of the husband overshadow the imperial brother, even if the imperial brother doesn't want to last time, the people of the world are leisurely, just to let people know that Youzhou City is an official of the Sui Dynasty and the governor of the Sui Dynasty." Lan Ling explained.
"Wouldn't this deepen your imperial brother's jealousy of her husband." Zhang Chuchen said.
Lanling was silent, with her understanding of Yang Guang, if it involved the matter of imperial power, it would definitely not be discussed, even if she came forward, it would be useless.
"Okay, don't worry, isn't it just to recruit so many soldiers and horses to protect you, protect the people in the city, and protect this side, I believe Your Majesty understands."
Li De comforted everyone, if you don't explain the women's thoughts, they may keep guessing, and in the end, they may not know what will happen, so he first downplayed the matter.
Besides, Emperor Yang of Sui was very ambitious and powerful, but ten people must have weaknesses and defects in some aspects.
Emperor Yang of Sui's weakness is not that he is strong, but that he has to deal with all forces, and it seems that he is strong, which is all accumulated from the past and the future, and now he has taken out the accumulated momentum.
It just so happens that Emperor Yang of Sui's character is not the kind of person who can forbear, and he does things to the extreme in many cases, but he has never been able to shake the forces that threaten him.
Li De knew this so he would not be afraid of Emperor Yang of Sui, because Emperor Yang of Sui would not do anything to him even if he offended the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, but he was afraid of what happened.
"By the way, have all the materials been counted?" Li De began to change the subject.
"What about the Jade County Lord, why don't you see anyone?" Pei Qingxuan said.
"I sent someone a long time ago, maybe it's too busy, it's going to be late." Li Xiuning said.
"I really don't treat myself as an outsider." Zhang Chuchen said something for no reason, this was very vinegary, and everyone ignored her.
Lord Yujun really came late for half an hour, and when he arrived, he asked directly: "Governor, what is the matter with me, I am on official business, hurry up and continue to deal with things." ”
The lord of Yujun came in as a businessman, this change has been like this since Li De read the letter of the backer king last time, Li De can understand that this kind of ambiguous words in front of others, the other party will definitely feel that it is a polite refusal.
It's normal for a woman to not be able to wipe her face.
"I wanted to ask about the supplies they brought back." Li Dedao.
"The materials are being counted, and what has been inspected is a total of 100,000 war horses, as many as 100 taels of fur armor and other items, and the soldiers are also being purchased at the same time." The main road of Yujun.
Li De knew that there would be a lot of war horses this time, but he didn't think that there were so many, so many horses could meet the horse replacement of the vanguard.
Replenishing the number of carriages, but the same amount of forage for feeding the horses needed more, which was a large expense, and the main reason why the Sui State was not good at raising horses was the lack of grassland.
The environment in which horses grow and the forage requirements are very demanding.
Now it is equivalent to Youzhou City having 300,000 war horses, and the expenditure is a big problem, which is equivalent to 300,000 mouths, and those who want to eat also need personnel to maintain.
"Husband should be happy with 100,000 more war horses, why are you unhappy?" Lan Ling asked.
This kind of thing is incomprehensible for a person like Lanling, who opens his mouth for a while.
"What else can it be, you want horses to be fed, a large part of the expenditure of 200,000 cavalry is used to buy forage, and now there are 100,000 more, who do you say can be happy." Pei Qingxuan said.
Lanling understood as soon as he heard it, it is a good thing to have horses, but staying in his hands will inevitably cost for this, and now Youzhou City is developing everywhere It costs money, and suddenly there is a feeling that I want to help but feel very powerless.
"Don't worry, princess, the previous Youzhou City may need to worry about money, but with this victory, the armor is reforged, the fur can be used as military resources, and the captured gems, ornaments, and wealth are enough for 200,000 soldiers and horses to squander for two years, I believe that the ability of the Grand Governor should be able to solve all the problems after two years." The main road of Yujun.
"Of course." Li De cheekily admitted, this self-confidence is still in the future, if nothing else works, if he can still lack money to spend in this era, then he will really come in vain.
Lord Jade just doesn't like to see Li De's smug appearance now.
"The Metropolitan Governor seems to be too optimistic, although there are more materials, but you haven't thought about the affairs of the Governors, they are all discussing the distribution of materials from the Luo family." The Jade County Lord said suddenly.
Li De really couldn't laugh, he had ignored a very important thing for a long time, that is, he was now a local prince, and he was not the only one in this interest group.
The captains are a part of this interest group, to put it bluntly, you can't let the captains follow you all the time as captains, people have pursuits and ideas.
Wasn't the vanguard of the beginning put together for meritorious service, and now the team is very stable, when you can't give them the rush to get promoted and make a fortune, and can't satisfy their desires, this group will naturally not be reliable.
Lord Yujun's words were right in his heart.
