For the analysis of military strategy, Sun Xiangfu didn't lift Li Jing's shoes enough, he just said according to the actual situation, he just happened to be blind, so next, he only had to be the audience.

"Originally, I planned to send all the elite soldiers to the east to conquer Goguryeo, but after seeing the list of military equipment of Zhengming, I changed my mind, just one Goguryeo, I don't need to use my elite to the fullest, plus the 50,000 allied troops led by Su Dingfang, I can send another 150,000 troops, in addition to the 110,000 soldiers and horses gathered in Laizhou, I will transfer another 30,000 infantry to Shanyang, and meet with the 20,000 cavalry of the Anbei Army, a total of 50,000, carry new equipment, and go to the front line to support Su Dingfang."

Li Shimin did not mention the 23 million yuan of military spending at all, but only mentioned how to use the new equipment that was about to be manufactured, which means that these equipment have been decided.

"In this case, wouldn't there be more than 100,000 troops left in Guanzhong?"

Hou Junji knows the specific number of soldiers and horses to be mobilized, just the 16th Guards were transferred to Chang'an for training, there are more than 120,000 soldiers and horses, this is not counting the Qianniu guards who stayed in Chang'an, the prison guards, and the Xuanjia cavalry that Li Shimin did not say to go to the expedition, if only 30,000 soldiers and horses were transferred to Shanyang, then the soldiers and horses left in Chang'an would still have 1230,000, such a number of soldiers and horses, as well as the equipment equipped, is enough to deal with all emergencies.

Li Shimin nodded and said, "That's right, however, all the troops will still swear to go out at that time, but after leaving Chang'an, some soldiers and horses will be transferred to Shuzhong and Yaozhou overnight, and Shanzhou will be garrisoned to see what ghosts are in the northwest." ”

He has always been wary of the party departments and Tuyuhun, because they now not only have a conflict of interest with the Tang Dynasty, but also too close to Chang'an, as for Tubo, he has no good feelings, when Wude was six years old, Tubo once broke through Fangzhou in Longyou Road, killing thousands of Han people, although in recent years they have had civil strife, and it has stopped for a while, but once their regime is unified, they will definitely want to come to the Central Plains to gnaw a piece of meat.

"That, in terms of military affairs, the minister doesn't understand, can he retire?"

"Don't understand? Actually, you don't need to understand, you need equipment to fight a war, you just need equipment, I plan to increase some weapons and equipment reserves to deal with the party, Tuyuhun, and the conflict that may break out in Tubo, do you think, how much more money can Qianzhuang borrow? ”

All right! The huge debt of 23 million has not yet been settled! Li Shimin wants to increase military spending again, and he really thinks that Qianzhuang is an unlimited ATM!

"Your Majesty, plus the expenditure on food and medicine, we have to borrow a total of 30 million yuan from the money bank this time, which is more than 40% of the money bank's deposits, and if you borrow more, it will be very dangerous, once one side has a protracted war and needs continuous investment, it is possible to collapse our entire country's economy, and there will be civil strife."

Li Shimin is now like a young man who just got a credit card in his later life, thinking that the limit in the credit card is his own money, but he never thought that he would not be able to pay it back if he spent too much, and the more he owed, the more he owed.

The loan of 30 million guan is calculated according to the lowest annual interest rate of the money bank, and the interest for a year is also 3 million guan, and your imperial court has less than 3 million guan a year in taxes! Do you dare to borrow to death again? I really don't think the economic problem is a problem! When the interests of all depositors are not protected, it is really possible that the flood will overturn your boat.

"Well, what civil strife will be? Isn't it going to be done when I send troops to peace? When Li Shimin heard this, he was a little stunned.

"This kind of civil strife cannot be quelled, because all the people who save money are part of the losses, including your soldiers, your generals, your court ministers, and all the family lords, so you must cultivate this pot steadily, otherwise there will be a situation that is more dangerous than the invasion of foreign enemies······"

Sun Xiangfu really doesn't want to teach others in areas that he is not good at, however, there is no way, he must explain to them, otherwise, they will not understand the horror of the capital monster.

Now, the courtiers already know such a large military equipment procurement plan of the imperial court, it is good to win, in case it is defeated, or in other words, if the undefeated is not defeated, there may be a run on it, because everyone knows that tens of millions of holes, the imperial court may take more than ten years to fill them, and in this era, more than ten years is almost half a lifetime, who can accept it.

Moreover, the largest amount of deposits are those who only recognize the interests of the sons of the family, and when the time comes, they can easily make the emperor lose the hearts of the people through a run.

Of course, the problem is that the current income of the imperial court is too small, and the ability to repay debts is too poor.

Therefore, Li Shimin, who roughly understood, turned the question to the question of how to make money, "You said that Lieutenant General Shu is the next profit point for our Datang, how to make a profit?" ”

"Do business with people from all parts of Tibet and Yunnan! They are poor and backward, they lack everything, they will want what we produce, and the price can almost be set by us, so easy to earn, of course we have to earn! Moreover, there are other advantages to doing business, Your Majesty, you know. ”

Based on the total economic volume of the area where the current Datang's commodities can radiate, in fact, this is the case, although the volume of goods shipped by Hu merchants in the Western Regions is increasing every year, the growth is also limited, and there will be no major outbreak.

To boost domestic demand, there will be some more growth, but the effect is slow, not three or five years, it is not good, because only by making the people of Datang rich first, they are willing to consume, and the fastest effect is to open up the external market.

Historically, in the Gaozong period, when Xinuluo established the Nanzhao State, the population of Yunnan exceeded one million, and now, at least there is at least 800,000 above, which is almost equivalent to a commercial market of Xue Yantuo.

There are more than 200,000 young cavalry in Tubo, the total population is almost one million, and the market is not small, and these two regions to carry out trade, not to mention much, there is no problem in creating a profit of hundreds of thousands of yuan a year for Datang, the key is that commerce and trade can promote cultural dissemination, only when culture spreads deeply, Datang can rule these places and solve the border trouble forever.

The strategy of force is to plan for a while, and the strategy of culture is to plan for eternity, Li Shimin is a person who knows everything at all, and he quickly knows what to do.

"When I arrive, I will let Niu Jin reach the garrison of Yaozhou, Li Ji garrison Shanzhou, Tuyuhun and the party departments if there is any change, they will be beaten hard, anyway, even if they don't move, I will go back to clean them up after I finish cleaning up Goguryeo, as for the Tubo and Yunnan tribes, they will focus on defense, and I will send a letter to the country later, inviting them to exchange markets and strengthen trade communication."

Li Shimin's handling was very proper, as long as he didn't let Sun Xiangfu take out another loan to engage in armaments, Sun Xiangfu didn't have any opinions, until the meal was served and he ate his stomach to a little support, Li Shimin talked to everyone about the imperial examination, and then he had another opportunity to speak.

"Your question, your ······"

Li Shimin was holding an exam paper from Sun Xiangfu in his hand, pointing to the exam paper for a long time, and he didn't think of an appropriate adjective to describe it, Xiao Yu had no choice but to take over the words with a smile, "When the old man first saw it, he felt tricky, and then he felt practical, and then he felt naïve, and finally after considering the actual situation, he felt that it should be, Your Majesty, this test paper should be out like this." ”

"Should?"

After Li Shimin chewed the meaning of the word repeatedly, his eyes lit up, yes, it should be.

The examination papers for the Jinshi Department are basically the same as in the past, explaining the meaning of the scriptures, composing poems, composing essays, and making policy theories, which are the exam questions of Xiao Yu.

For the Ming arithmetic subject, it is only a test of standard answers, as well as some comprehension ability, there is even a formula for solving the problem on the exam paper, you follow the formula, apply it to the question, you can easily solve the problem, if you don't apply it, calculate it yourself, it is estimated that it is difficult to know the answer after counting a few pieces of paper.

And for the Ming Law Course, they are basically true/false questions, multiple-choice questions, and question and answer questions.

For engineering, it is more bizarre, according to the pictures, according to the word copying, and finally, there are even puzzle problems, dozens of puzzle drawings of different sizes, according to the pattern, put together a full page, just a little test of intelligence and literary foundation.

As for medicine, it is a question and answer question about the symptoms, prescribing medicines, reading prescriptions, guessing diseases, and the medicinal properties of some medicinal materials.

The most amazing thing is business, there are some brain teasers and number traps, if you can find them all and answer them, then this person must be a delicate and delicate person.

Then, each subject has an optional essay question, answer, or not.

The title of the essay is "Imagination of Hometown"

Candidates can understand it as a policy topic, or they can understand it as an ordinary essay question, the direction of writing is different, the person's personality is different, as a policy to write a person, more suitable for politics, or management, as an ordinary narrative or expository essay to write people, basically do not have political management in their minds.

There is no scoring for this question, however, there is a difference between answering and not answering, if you are a liberal arts student and don't answer, it is obviously unreasonable, if you are an engineering student, you are not able to answer, but you say the past. If you are a business student, it is best to work hard to answer if you are not capable, because from the trivial matter of answering questions or not, you can see whether you will leave your hands in the future.

Whether it is a liberal arts question without a standard answer, or a question with a standard answer, a clear calculation and other subjects, the ranking is based on the score, those questions without a standard answer, each grader will score, when the time comes, the highest score and the lowest score will be removed, the average score will be calculated, and finally, the total score will be recorded, which is clear at a glance.

There is no mystery in scoring, because if you don't get the right score, it may not be completely according to the score, and liberal arts students will not be selected if they don't answer the optional essay questions, which is not only a test of level, but also a test of ideology and will. What can be done or not, the person who chooses to do it, the basic character is diligent. Those who choose not to do it may be lazy, they may not have real talent, in short, in the same score range, they will fall behind.

These are all some tips for manpower recruitment in later generations, anyway, Sun Xiangfu also regarded the imperial examination as a job fair, and it didn't hurt to use it.

"Your Majesty, the minister suggests that all the students who show management talent be sent to the Ministry of Officials to open a short-term training course, and then let them go to Weinan New City for internship."

"Short-term training courses? How does it work? ”

"Well, it's to find some people who have management experience and teach them how to manage workers. Just like the shopkeeper of Wangjiang Tower, the production captain of the tofu workshop, anyone who has experience in managing a large number of workers, can be invited to come over and talk to these students about the experience of managing people, so that they can learn the experience of managing people in practice, and then go to the ministry to learn the experience of governance, so that even if many people cannot become officials in the end, they can also become managers of some factories. ”

When Li Shimin heard this, he nodded and said, "This plan is very good." ”
