Chapter 70 Preparation of Materials

"Less!"

When he mentioned this matter, Li Er's heart was full of fire.

"This girl, since I gave me marriage, has been obedient to that kid, and she has even begun to ignore my majesty."

Speaking of this, his face couldn't help but show a helpless look, as well as a trace of feigned anger.

"Is that really the case?"

Hearing this, Empress Eldest Sun couldn't help but be stunned, and then laughed playfully.

"Presumably the emperor's will makes it difficult for her, that's why she did it."

Empress Eldest Sun covered her lips and kept laughing, but she didn't make the slightest laugh.

"Humph! Just a few ingredients, and some material processing matters, would make her so embarrassed? ”

"Your Majesty, the military department is still asking to see you."

At this moment, the eunuch Wang De came from a sharp voice, followed by footsteps.

"Let him wait in the Imperial Study!"

A hint of displeasure appeared in Li Er's eyes, and then he slowly got up and walked towards the imperial study.

"See Your Majesty'......"

Seeing the arrival of His Majesty, the military department Shangshu hurriedly knelt on the ground, respectfully reported the state affairs, and then handed over the small fold in his hand.

"Huh?"

Seeing the small fold, Li Er's brows furrowed even deeper, but he still reached out and took it, but he didn't immediately open it to read, but his eyes fell on the body of the military department Shangshu, and kept scanning it.

"Your Majesty, there is not much time left for the harsh winter, and the soldiers guarding the frontier will work even harder, if there is no adequate provisions, I believe that the combat effectiveness of the soldiers will be greatly reduced, in order to prevent such a situation from happening, so the minister believes that Your Majesty should make a decision as soon as possible."

"And inside this is the list of statistical materials, and it is in vain for His Majesty's permission."

After finishing speaking, the military department Shangshu knelt on the ground respectfully, his eyes revealed a look of great expectation, and the safety of every soldier was always tied in his heart, which is why he stayed in this position for a long time and was still happy.

"I, I will allocate funds every year, why are I still so nervous?"

Li Er slowly opened the fold and carefully read the contents on it, while the frost was exposed behind him, and his eyes were locked on the body of the military department Shangshu like an eagle falcon.

The country spends a huge amount of money every year to raise soldiers, how come now, these soldiers are still like a group of beggars, and they don't even have clothes for the winter, are they still my people, or my world?

"Back to Your Majesty, the border wars are continuous, especially this year, the border pass has incorporated a lot of new soldiers, if it is Goguryeo, Baekje is also a little restless, I am afraid that at that time, the Tang Dynasty still needs to continue to send more troops and horses, and by that time, the number of them will be even larger."

The secretary of the military department reported with a wry smile that for the sake of his soldiers, he really didn't swallow a penny, but this is the case, and he can only report it truthfully.

"Northern Xinjiang is related to the comfort of Chang'an, and it really can't be ignored, Wang De, go and call Dai Zhou to me!"

Li Er nodded appreciatively, although he did not personally investigate the border matter, he also understood the hardships and hardships of that place.

"Yes! Your Majesty! ”

After the eunuch respectfully received the order, he kept hunched over, and after exiting the imperial study, he straightened up and ran into the distance.

"See Your Majesty's ......"

After learning of the eunuch's summons, Dai Xuan rushed to the imperial study as soon as possible, kneeling respectfully on the ground, but the corner of his eyes fell on the body of the military department.

"Hmm!"

Li Er nodded, answered, and directly threw the small fold to Dai Xuan, and then slowly sat on the dragon chair and waited.

"How many ...... are needed this year?"

Seeing the content on the small fold, Dai Xuan instantly understood the intention of His Majesty's call, and directly locked his eyes on the body of the military department Shangshu.

"Yes! Because these soldiers not only have to protect our Datang, but also to guard against the sneak attacks of other enemies, and they have to fight against those harsh environments, so they have expanded the army, the cold of the frontier? Without warm materials, if the frontier is broken, my Datang will be under great threat! ”

"But this leather jacket against the wind and cold is really very tricky......!"

Dai Xuan said helplessly.

"Why? In my prosperous Tang Dynasty, can't I even solve the problem of food and clothing for the soldiers? ”

The speaker is unintentional, the listener is intentional, the glory of the Tang Dynasty is far from being comparable to the previous dynasties, how can it be difficult because of such a small matter?

"A few days ago, those merchants in Goguryeo bought a large number of furs in my Tang Dynasty, and the nomads in the north no longer sold their furs, and even their livestock were not sold to the Central Plains!"

Seeing the list in his hand, it is not difficult to guess their plan when he thinks about the previous actions of the Goguryeo people, obviously, they, the insiders, have been tricked as fools.

"To increase the price of recycling, we must ensure the food and clothing of the soldiers."

Li Er's face was very ugly, if he couldn't even solve such a trivial matter, then he was really useless.

"Your Majesty, if this is the case, the treasury will be empty, and even the civil and military officials will not be able to distribute it on time."

Dai Xuan smiled bitterly, he really didn't belong to his family, he didn't know how expensive firewood and rice were, if His Majesty's decision was implemented, I am afraid that Datang would become an empty shell in name only.

"And what do you mean? Do you want me to bow my head and open my mouth to the seven great families? ”

Hearing this, it doesn't work, that doesn't work, Li Er's voice suddenly cooled, he was an emperor in the Tang and Tang Dynasties, and he would be subject to these big families everywhere, so he was very unhappy.

After Dai Xuan and the military department Shangshu glanced at each other, they all lowered their heads.

Unexpectedly, even His Majesty can't help their ......!

"Forget it, at this time, the court will discuss ...... tomorrow"

Seeing the expressions of the two, Li Er waved his hand impatiently, and now that he saw them here, there was a ball of fire surging in his chest.

"Retire!"

As if they had been pardoned, after respectfully speaking, they hurriedly got up and retreated outside the imperial study.

"By the way, tomorrow I will go to court and carry the horse to me."

At the moment when the two of them were about to go out, Li Ergui said such a sentence in a hurry.

……

"Are you sure?"

In the Li Mansion, Li Lishan's eyes were cloudy and uncertain, looking at the butler with a blue nose and swollen face, and asked slowly.

"That kid did let people destroy the more than 1,000 acres of crops, and the crops are growing very well, and it is estimated that they will be harvested on the eighth day of the month! This is what I have seen with my own eyes, please rest assured. ”

The butler looked determined and kept nodding to the patriarch.

"Zhao Guogong's two thousand acres of job fields, all of them are good good fields, although this year's spring drought, but the harvest should still be good, I don't know what crazy this kid is, it's all ruined!"

Speaking of this, a distressed look continued to appear on the butler's cheeks.
