The treasury is not only gold and silver, but the most important thing is actually the reserve of grain.

The Tang Dynasty is agriculture-oriented, the treasury reserves a large amount of grain, and when the army is dispatched, the grain and grass needed are mobilized from the treasury.

At this time, a country's grain reserves can be said to be the most important, if the grain reserves are insufficient, and the people are unable to provide relief in the event of a disaster, it will arouse public anger. If the imperial court levied too much tax, it would also provoke public anger.

Therefore, when the Tang Dynasty encountered problems related to grain reserves, no matter how big or small, it was the most important thing, and as the "sending troops" with the heaviest consumption of grain and grass, it has always been a matter for the entire court to participate in.

Li Ke was very unimpressed by his father's question: "It's just a supply of grain and grass, this is common to money, the master is not there, the royal brother is the biggest in the world, and the army of more than 20,000 people is just upstairs, and the world can afford it." ”

"Forehead ........."

Li Shimin originally thought that the question of "grain and grass" was enough to ask Li Ke, but Li Ke directly used "money" to match.

If the army of twenty or thirty thousand is provided by the imperial court, Wei Zheng will be the first to jump and not agree, but if the world pays upstairs, it is estimated that Wei Zheng will also complain about the two things that the prince commanded the prince's six rates when he was young, and the king of Shu led the prince's six rates when he was young.

Li Shimin saw that his third son was confident, and he really couldn't think of any more reason to refuse, so he could only sigh and tell the speculation of the emperor last night.

Li Ke was dumbfounded after hearing this, he didn't expect that he didn't listen to the words of the emperor's grandfather and went to the head, and then provoked the emperor's brother to go too, and the prince Yin was decisively thrown to him and let him take the prince to the south.

Li Shimin counted the days and said to Li Ke: "Count the days, the course of your Academy of Literature is almost over, if you really miss your master, you can go south to have a look, and urge your master to come back as soon as possible." It's not good to enjoy happiness in Chang'an, what are you doing when you go to Lingnan to stay. ”

Li Ke scratched his head, he was very confused now, and he didn't even say a word of resignation, just walked towards the outside of the hall step by step.

Li Shimin shouted after the case: "Return the prince's seal to Cheng Qian, it would have been rude for you to take it." ”

Regardless of whether Li Ke heard it or not, Li Shimin smiled slightly and continued to deal with government affairs, before he was a little worried about the three children going out of the palace to study, but now that little bit is gone.

The eldest son was able to "generously" hand over the prince's seal to his younger brother, which exceeded his expectations, and the third son was able to hold the prince's seal to see him in a dignified manner, indicating that there was no ghost in his heart.

That's good, that's good!

He definitely didn't want his son to go through the same battle as his father and uncle, and in the end there was no brotherhood, or even a fight.

While he was holding the fold and pondering, Long Ying had already written the secret letter and handed it to Li Shimin's desk.

Li Shimin looked at the dense Arabic numerals on it, felt his head hurt, and asked Long Ying directly: "What did you write?" ”

Long Ying pointed to the middle paragraph and said: "Except for the numbers here, everything else is useless, the first paragraph of this paragraph represents the number of pages of "Spring and Autumn", the middle represents the number of lines, and the last represents the first few words. This paragraph is combined to say: 'Boss, Your Majesty asked you what you were doing in Lingnan and why you didn't come back. ’”

"Transparency" is what Leng Feng said to him before Long Ying graduated, follow the emperor, it is best to be completely transparent, whatever the emperor asks, he must have no reservations, in order to gain the emperor's trust.

This kind of cipher text is currently completely mastered by the three of Long Ying, Ergouzi, and Li Erniu, and is used to receive Leng Feng's secret orders, but when the emperor asks about it today, he has to say it all.

Li Shimin took a look at the ciphertext and clapped his hands: "Good way, good way, in this way, even if the secret letter is intercepted, the enemy will not be able to understand it." Such a good method should be promoted to the whole army, and you should know the importance of this new type of ciphertext to the army. ”

Long Ying said: "In fact, Wei Guogong Li Jing also has a kind of ciphertext similar to this, and after he obtained it, he has been studying how to make illiterate people understand, and after that, the minister doesn't know what to do." ”

Li Shimin nodded, since Li Jing did not report to the top, it means that he has not studied it yet.

Ciphertext that can be read by illiterate people? Interesting!

Li Shimin put the letter away, covered it with fire paint, and put it on the desk for someone to pick it up, and after a while, Zhang Wen got in.

Sending secret letters is the most suitable thing for the people of the Hundred Riders, and many people in the Hundred Riders Division are veterans in this area.

Looking at the words "Enlightenment of the Duke of Xi Guo" on it, Zhang Wen asked, "Your Majesty, will you send it immediately?" ”

Li Shimin nodded: "Send it immediately, as quickly as possible." ”

Zhang Wen heard the emperor's request clearly, so he took the letter and left, although Lingnan was far away, he was also confident that he would send the letter as quickly as possible in the Tang Dynasty.

However, what he didn't know was that a letter from Leng Feng had already set off from Gaozhou at this time, and it would not be long before he could reach Yueyang.

The fleet of the fishing village has returned, and the waterways from Yueyang all the way are marked, and they have gone very smoothly, and after arriving in Yueyang, Yuezhou Thorn Shi will use the official post to deliver the letter, which is definitely faster than their hundred cavalry divisions.

……… Dividing line .........

Liu Shuwen played the piano for a while, and there was already a trace of fatigue, and then she put away the piano and stopped playing, since she learned that she was pregnant, she took a lot of scriptures from Mrs. Feng, for the sake of the little enemy in her stomach, now she definitely does not dare to let herself be tired.

The smell of grilled fish wafted over, and when she smelled the fragrance, Liu Shuwen's stomach began to protest, so she handed the piano to Li Erniu, who was rubbing her throat, and went to Leng Feng to eat.

Leng Feng was grilling the fish, and the flesh had turned golden brown under his patient roasting, and not a single part of it had become charred.

Seeing Liu Shuwen coming over, Leng Feng pointed to a crockpot by the fire: "Your things are there, grilled fish is junk food after all, you can't eat it." ”

Liu Shuwen sat down next to Leng Feng and pouted: "But I just want to eat your fish." ”

In the past, Liu Shuwen would not be coquettish to Leng Feng like this outside, but now she is pregnant, no, with the gold medal of avoiding death, plus having fun today, she said such things to Leng Feng.

Leng Feng stretched out his free hand and touched Liu Shuwen's stomach: "You used to be okay, but now you can't, you can eat two people's portions by one person now." ”
