As he left the palace, there was a sudden thunderclap in the sky, followed by heavy rain.

Li Yu got into the carriage and rushed to the East Palace.

Whether it was a systematic task or for his own future, he was eager to build an army, a tiger and wolf army of his own, so he would ask his father this question on the third day of becoming the crown prince.

He knew that only with an army of his own could he successfully implement many of his next things.

And the transfer of troops and horses from the vassal kings in various places was a dangerous move for him.

Allowing the vassal kings to send troops and horses into Beijing to expand the capital's military strength will inevitably cause some feudal kings to be uneasy and disliked, and they are likely to rebel.

Of course, only a small number of people may rebel, but it is also very dangerous for the Tang State.

But he had to do it again, because Tang Shang and Li Qing both returned to their fiefdoms, and they were bound to expand their army crazily, if they didn't take advantage of the fact that their current troops were not strong enough to draw troops and horses from them, then when they grabbed and drew again, there would be no chance.

Now, they knew that no one was an opponent of the imperial court, so it was very likely that they would choose forbearance.

Obey the orders of the imperial court.

And when they had endured enough, they had almost trained a strong army of soldiers and horses.

It takes a lot of caution, but he's willing to give it a try.

After returning to the house, Li Yu told Xu Maogong about the situation, and Xu Maogong also supported Li Yu's choice.

Li Shang and Li Qing will be opposed, so they must not be given too much time, or Li Yu himself does not have much time, so he must have a team of soldiers and horses, no matter what means are used, he must have them.

"Lord Wang, after Jia Yanfu received your order, he rushed from Shuozhou, did you see him immediately?" Just after Li Yu and Xu Maogong finished speaking, Cui Tong came to ask.

Hearing that Jia Yanfu was coming, Li Yu was overjoyed and hurriedly said, "Let him in." ”

Not long after, Jia Runfu entered the living room behind Cui Tong, and Jia Runfu was very excited at this time, because he never thought that Li Yu, who was still a prince when he left Shuozhou, was now a prince, and he was deeply loved by the Son of Heaven.

"His Royal Highness the Prince."

Li Yu nodded, "Okay, Boss Jia, you are the God of Wealth of this prince." ”

"The prince laughed, if you have any orders, just say it."

"In the past few months, your business in Shuozhou has been good, right?"

"Naturally, with the prince's products, Shuozhou is becoming more and more prosperous now, and there are more than 200,000 yuan in the past few months."

With so much profit, Li Yu can do a lot of things, Li Yu nodded, "Okay, but next in the capital, you have to continue to work." ”

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince just orders."

"You know the soap thing, right?"

"I've heard of it, but until now, I haven't used it."

"The market for soap is very large, not only the nobles of the Tang Kingdom like it, but also the nobles of other countries, they will also like it, among them, there is a lot of profit, the processing of soap, I have ordered someone to build a factory, you now need to sell these soaps to me through your relationship with other businessmen from all over the world, I want to make money, make more and more money."

Everything needs the support of money, Li Yu is like this now, even if he becomes the emperor in the future, the same is true, he needs to use money to satisfy his soldiers, only in this way, they will fight for themselves.

Of course, even if you do other things in the future, you also need money.

"There's no problem with that."

Li Yu nodded, "In addition to soap, Prince Ben has also improved the method of drinking tea, the tea of our Tang Kingdom must be better than that of other countries, and you also need to make a tea business." ”

"Tea, improvement?" Jia Yanfu is puzzled, how to improve tea?

Li Yu nodded, and then ordered someone to bring the tea leaves that he had changed, and then ordered someone to bring a pot of hot water, he poured the tea leaves into the cup, and then poured hot water again.

"In this way, the tea can be drunk, whether it is taste or otherwise, it is stronger than before, you taste it."

In the past, the tea was boiled together with ginger slices or something, and if you were used to drinking it, it was nothing, but the tea was clear, clear tea, clear tea, and tea was delicious, and it was boiled together with other things, that was soup, and it was inconvenient to drink.

Now he stir-fried the tea leaves so that he only needed to add hot water and brew them.

Jia Yanfu took a sip of the teacup, and when this sip of tea entered his throat, he suddenly felt a smell of tea lingering between his mouth, which was really delicious.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, there must be a market for this tea." As a businessman, and a very intelligent businessman, Jia Yanfu naturally saw the value of this kind of roasted tea.

Li Yu nodded, "Okay, as long as you think it's good, give it to Prince Ben and sell it." ”

Jia Yanfu received the order, and then left energetically.

Soap, tea, these two things are enough to make Li Yu profitable.

The rain was still falling, and after Li Yu finished talking to Jia Yanfu, he went to the study, but not long after he entered the study, Su Rong walked in.

"You want to draw troops from the vassal kings from all over the country, and do you want to draw the soldiers of my Su family's army?" Su Rong is still very well-informed, and she already knows about it.

At this time, Su Rong obviously had some atmosphere, drawing the soldiers of the Su family's army, wasn't that weakening their Su family's army in disguise?

The Su family army is facing the Central Plains countries, if the army is weak, I am afraid that it will not be able to hold the mountains and rivers of the Tang Kingdom.

"Did I say that you would smoke the soldiers and horses of your Su family?"

Su Rong snorted, "What do you say?" ”

"Don't worry, but if the soldiers and horses are close to the enemy country and need to defend the Tang Kingdom, this prince will not move, only those more comfortable vassal kings in the Tang Kingdom, this prince will draw their soldiers and horses."

Hearing this, Su Rong finally breathed a sigh of relief, and then said, "This is about the same, those vassal kings in the mainland are too comfortable, the soldiers and horses on weekdays have fought with the enemy, and it is useless for them to keep them, and it is just right to transfer them to the capital." ”

Those who can obtain fiefs in the interior are more or less favored or have many means, after all, not everyone is willing to guard a fief that often faces war.

In the entire Tang Kingdom, there are as many as five or six places that often need to face wars, and those who guard these places are either really capable and worthy of the trust of the Son of Heaven, such as Su Fu in Qizhou and Li Jiang in Hengzhou.

In addition, like Shuozhou, as well as Li Gu of Yuzhou, Li Yao of Liangzhou was not treated by Li Yuan before, or went to commit crimes, Shuozhou is Li Yu's fiefdom, so there is not much to say, Li Gu's Yuzhou, and Li Yao's Liangzhou are the line of defense against Liang.
