Chapter 195: Cheng Mo asks for a plan
The other one hundred and sixty people Su Bai also took a look, and in general, he felt that the gap was not very big. It's definitely not comparable to the Hundred Battle Army, but it's still a lot stronger than the City Defenders and so on. It can only be said that their foundation is too poor, and the training time is still too short.
Overall, Su Bai was quite satisfied, although it was lower than he expected, but fortunately, it was okay. Looking at their training level, they are stronger than the average Tang infantry, but they can't compare with Wang Qingyang, this is their level.
I believe that after honing on the battlefield, when they come back, they will be able to have some special forces.
After checking all the training equipment, all of them met the standards, and went to the cafeteria to look at their food, and after confirming that everything was fine, Su Bai left, these people are one of the cornerstones of his future plan, and he must not be careless, he must be foolproof. When I returned home, it was only noon, and I smelled a smell of mutton from afar, and I asked Wang Lang to find out that the cook was making roast whole sheep today.
Wang Lang whispered: "Sir, the things you asked the carpenter to make have been done, move in and show you?" When Su Bai heard that mahjong was done, he was surprised: "So fast? Wang Lang said with a smile: "The old craftsman took his apprentice to do it all night, you walked with the front foot in the morning, and they sent the back foot."
Su Bai smiled and said, "Have you paid for it?" Wang Lang nodded and said: "Sir, don't worry, for the people, our family will give money first, and then do things", Su Bai smiled: "Let the next person go and send two taels of silver to the old carpenter, just say that this is the lord rewarded him with his hard-earned money", Wang Lang nodded yes, although he felt that the lord rewarded a little too much, but as a subordinate, it is better for him to speak less.
Su Bai waved his hand and said: "Send the mahjong to the master's room, and then go and call the young grandmother over and let her take the maids with her", although Wang Lang didn't know what mahjong was, but he thought that it was the small wooden blocks that the carpenter had just made in the morning.
Mahjong is such a thing, women are really more talented than men, this is recognized, I believe Zhao Yueer and Wang Liu they will definitely like it.
Su Bai went upstairs, Wang Lang personally took mahjong and followed, mahjong was packed in a small box, the style was very exquisite, Wang Xing and Wang Liu did not sleep, chatting in the house, seeing his son come in and asked with some curiosity: "What's wrong?" ”
Su Bai pulled over a table, put the mahjong on it and said, "Teach you a kind of fun", and then Zhao Yue'er also walked in outside the door, followed by four maids!
Su Bai asked Wang Liu and Zhao Yue'er Qiuxiang to sit down, and began to teach them to play mahjong, sure enough, women are very talented in this matter, and they have all learned it in less than three laps, especially Wang Liu's, who is playing yelling, and told Su Bai that this thing called mahjong is much more fun than poker.
Zhao Yue'er was also very interested, Su Bai saw that they had learned, so she left the table, and as soon as she walked away, a maid sat on it, obviously she was also a little itchy just now. Wang Xing's brain reacted slowly, and after watching it several times, he still didn't understand, so he didn't participate, turned his head and went downstairs with Su Bai, and the two of them planned to drink a little more wine.
......
In the palace of this matter, Li Shimin was sitting with several confidants, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Qin Qiong, Cheng Yanjin, Li Jing, etc., who were almost completely cured, were all among them.
In front of them there was a huge map with rivers and lakes, mountains and rivers, this is a map, and now everyone is staring at one of the places with a straight face, there, is Turkic!
Fang Xuanling pondered for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, last year we had a locust plague, and the Turks were not much better than us, or even worse!" They are nomadic people, pointing to grazing to survive, there is no pasture, and the loss of cattle and sheep is huge, but this year our Datang seems to be a dry year, and the Turks have heavy snowfall! A year is enough time for them to recuperate, and we are not much better under natural disasters! ”
Du Ruhui nodded and said, "If you attack!" Must take it before this year's autumn harvest! "Now in the Tang Dynasty, the opinions of these two people can be said to be the most valued by Li Shimin! Fang Mou Du is not an empty word. The eldest grandson Wuji thought for a while and said: "But now that after the locust plague, Your Majesty has pardoned the taxes, I am afraid that the money in the treasury is not enough to support a big war!" ”
Li Jing is still the secretary of the Ministry of War, and he said: "Now that we have horseshoes, our war horses are enough this year, but at least half of the soldiers' armor and sword soldiers need to be replaced, which is a lot of money" Li Shimin Zou frowned, indeed, the current Tang Dynasty treasury is empty, although the place is also weak, who knows whether their treasury can support their own war.
If you run out of money while fighting, then what awaits you is not a good end! Yang Guang's example is in front of him, how did his Li family get the world? It's not that Yang Guang beat Goguryeo and lost his troops and let them pick up the cheap! Now that the treasury is empty, it is very likely that he will repeat Yang Guang's mistakes, this is not what Li Shimin wants!
But if you don't fight, just like Fang Xuanling said, in another year, I don't know who will beat whom! What happened in Weishui was cited by Li Shimin as a shame in his life! If you don't fight the Turks, he's not reconciled! In this matter, Cheng Yanjin, who didn't speak on the side, suddenly said: "Regarding money, maybe there is someone who can help."
Everyone's eyes looked over, wanting to know who it was, when Li Shimin saw Cheng Biting Jin, his eyes lit up, he knew who Cheng Biting Jin was recommending!
Li Shimin said with a smile: "If you don't think about money first, do you think Aiqing thinks that Turkic is a problem?" Having said that, Li Shimin's eyes were staring at Li Jing and asked, he didn't particularly like Li Jing, but he never doubted his ability!
Li Jing nodded and said, "June can be broken!" Li Shimin laughed, he was relieved with Li Jing's words, and then Li Shimin looked at Cheng Yanjin and said: "Zhijie, please take a ride", Cheng Yanjin laughed and said: "Your Majesty rest assured!" Just wait for Lao Cheng's good news! ”
Looking at Cheng Biting Jin's stable expression, everyone probably guessed who he was going to, it must be the king ugly cow who was called the 'God of Wealth' by the people!
At noon on the second day, Cheng Yanjin came to the foot of Mantou Mountain, the current guards of the Wang family are all the former Cheng family's subordinates, which one doesn't know Cheng Yanjin? Who would dare stop him? Su Bai was watching the four women in the family playing mahjong, when he heard Wang Lang come to report that Cheng Yanjin was here, and he was now waiting in the front hall.
Su Bai looked puzzled, he couldn't figure out why Cheng Yanjin came back to find him, if there was something to ask the housekeeper to come, even if the matter was important, it was a big deal to let Cheng Chumo come here, why did he come in person.
If you don't bite the gold in the process, Su Bai didn't dare to slack off, and followed Wang Lang to the front hall. As soon as I arrived in the front hall, I heard Cheng Yanjin praising and saying that this house is magnificent! The house is still warm, it is really a good house, after seeing Su Bai coming, Cheng bit the golden signboard and laughed three times: "Good boy, but I want to mess with the old man!" ”
Su Bai has a black line, and he went to visit Chang'an before leaving, and he didn't see him for three days, why did he still think about it? If he doesn't go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, he must have something to ask for himself.
Su Bai said: "I don't know if my uncle came to visit, but it was a boy's rudeness", and after speaking, he turned his head and instructed Wang Lang: "Tell the cook to prepare a banquet, make all the dishes at the bottom of their box, and make them according to the highest specifications!" ”
"Yes, sir," Wang Lang agreed, and hurriedly turned his head and ran to the kitchen.
Su Bai sat down beside Cheng Yanjin and asked with a smile, "Uncle, what do you have to order?" Cheng Yanjin laughed and said, "I know that you kid is clever", and then told him everything that happened in the palace yesterday.
After Su Bai listened, he stretched out his finger and pointed to his nose and said, "Uncle said that there is a way, just come to me?" Cheng Yanjin said with a smug face: "Exactly! Su Bai smiled bitterly and said, "Uncle didn't expect that there was nothing I could do?" ”
Cheng Yanjin didn't care and said: "What else can the person who is called the King God of Wealth have a way?" Su Bai smiled bitterly: "Uncle, the money needed to fight a war is more than one million!" Even if we take out all our properties, we can't sell them for this money! ”
At this time, the subordinate brought some melons and fruits in, Cheng Yanjin's eyes lit up when he saw it, grabbed a honeydew melon and ate it, the juice flowed on his beard and wiped it nonchalantly and smiled: "This melon is good, pull a cart for the old man when you leave!" ”
The corners of Su Bai's mouth twitched, a car? I'm afraid I don't have a car in total! Cheng ate up a melon in three or two bites, wiped his mouth and said: "Anyway, you must come up with a way to come out, Lao Cheng has made a military order in front of His Majesty, if there is no good way within three days, you will come to see you!" ”
Su Bai hurriedly said: "How can my uncle joke with his life like this, even if he is really the God of Wealth, he can't think of such a way to make money in three days!" Cheng Biting Jin smiled and said: "The old man himself will not joke with his life, the old man signed your name on the military order, there is no good way for three days, just lift your head to see Your Majesty"
Su Bai looked like a mountain looking up and said, "Uncle is really old and impeccable." Uncle, little nephew suddenly felt that it was not impossible to think of a way within three days! Cheng Yanjin laughed twice and said: "That's natural, so, you kid hurry up and think of a good way to come out!" The old man won't be leaving in the past two days, my 500 parts are still under the mountain, food and accommodation or something, you can arrange it."
The corners of Su Bai's mouth twitched again, is this considered a person sitting at home, and disaster comes from heaven? Isn't it good to keep the way to make money yourself? Why hand it over to Li Shimin, and then let him make money to fight!
I've been busy in the past two days, and this data is also heartbreaking!
