"See Your Highness!"

On the occasion of the three hostesses coming to give birth, the entire Metropolitan Governor's Mansion was in a mess, but Zhang Cambodia was unmoved, and sat in the study for a long time, burying his head in the official documents, even if the subordinates came to report the good news of the birth of the three Lin'er, they did not see Zhang Cambodia's reaction, until he saw Li Xian, who had been washed up, turned out from behind the screen, and then got up unhurriedly and saw the salute without much expression.

"Sir, please sit down, hehe, Lone is so happy today, hahaha......"

A guy got three sons, Li Xian was so proud that he didn't pay attention to Zhang Cambodia's expression, laughed and walked to the back of the first few sons and sat down.

"Your Highness is happy to have three sons, which is indeed gratifying."

Zhang Cambodia glanced at Li Xian meaningfully, and said words of congratulations in his mouth, but no matter how he looked at that wooden expression, he couldn't see half of the congratulations, which made Li Xian stunned.

"Sir seems to have something on his mind?"

Seeing that Zhang Cambodia's words were a little strange, Li Xian's eyebrows raised slightly, he glanced at Zhang Cambodia suspiciously, and asked tentatively.

"After His Royal Highness has it, Sheji can be regarded as having a trust, how dare Zhang not congratulate him."

Although Zhang Cambodia is rigid by nature, he is not a sophisticated person, and he knows that some words cannot be said too clearly in front of Li Xian, so he can only say a vague sentence.

Well? Dare to love is this, hehe, it's really hard for this old master! Li Xian is a shrewd individual, just by listening to it, he knows what Zhang Khan Zhi is going to say, and the left and right are just the matter of establishing the prince, in this regard, Li Xian has already made some decisions - Li Xian, who has experience in later generations, can be regarded as having read a lot of history books, how can he not know the cruelty and difficulty of the struggle for the throne, not to mention anything else, just since the opening of the Tang Dynasty, there have been six princes, except for Gaozong himself, who is considered to have picked up the throne, the rest of Li Jiancheng, Li Chengqian, Li Zhong, and Li Hong are all not good to die, as for the current prince Li Xian, also resolutely escaped the knife on the verge of the end, such cruel facts are in front of him, Li Xian is impossible to turn a blind eye, as early as when he was determined to compete with the Empress Wu, Li Xian has already thought about how to deal with this matter after he ascended to the throne, but this matter has not yet been broken, even in the face of Zhang Cambodia's absolute henchman, Li Xian did not want to say more, so he smiled and said: "Mr. is very worried, the children are still young, it is good to take a look in a few years." ”

"Your Highness Shengming!"

Seeing that Li Xian didn't want to talk about this matter more, he would no longer be entangled, so he respectfully praised him, and said no more, walked to his place and sat down, posing as if he was listening to Li Xian's instructions.

"So that Mr. Yu learned that all the tribes in the north have been reorganized, and the progress of all matters is gratifying, and in the coming year, the southern tribes are afraid that they will not be able to sit still."

As soon as Zhang Cambodia's respectful posture came out, Li Xian couldn't help but have a headache, when the time came, Li Xian was absolutely unwilling to put the matter of Lichu on the surface, so he could only change the topic with a haha.

"Your Highness, the five-year plan has been prepared, please take a look."

Zhang Khan Yi listened to Li Xian's speechless words, how could he not understand Li Xian's intentions, but he didn't say anything, but picked up a large stack of official documents on a few pieces, held them in both hands, and walked in front of Li Xian.

"Oh? Okay, let's take a look! ”

Li Xian has always attached importance to the plan, since the subjugation of the tribes in Hexi, he has ordered a group of royal clerks led by Zhang Cambodia to begin to prepare the development outline plan according to the five-year period, the original period was three months, but did not expect that it was less than two months, Zhang Cambodia Zhi has put the plan out, quite surprised, but also can't help but be happy, this hurried to respond, stretched out his hand to take the thick plan, read it carefully, just look at it, Li Xian's brows were furrowed more and more, not that there was anything wrong with this plan, in fact, the outline of this plan was originally from Li Xian's arm, Zhang Cambodia and others just refined it, but as soon as it was refined, the problem came out, one word - money!

Li Xian's plan in Hexi not only to revitalize the economy, but also to strengthen the armament, for the purpose of attacking Tibet, between the two, the former is the foundation, the latter is one of the strategic goals, in Li Xian's vision, the two are complementary to each other, the problem is to achieve Li Xian's vision, time is a hurdle that cannot be bypassed - if there is a more than ten or twenty years, these two can be connected logically, but Li Xian only gave five years, even if Hexi's economic development is rapid, It is difficult to support Li Xian's ambitions, so that money has become a major annoyance, according to Zhang Cambodia's algorithm, the funding gap is as high as 6 million, that is still fully considering the profitability of the "Deng Ji firm", the difference is difficult to make up.

Even a penny difference may be difficult for a hero, not to mention that this gap is as much as six million, when Li Xian formulated strategic goals, he really didn't think much about the problem of lack of money, after all, his "Deng Ji firm" is the largest business in the world, and its profitability is extremely strong, and it is never an exaggeration to say that Li Xian is rich and rivals the country, but at this time, when he saw that there were so many funds needed, Li Xian couldn't help but be a little dumbfounded, and he didn't say a word for a while.

"Sir, this money is ......, hmm, can we manage to reduce the shortfall?"

After Li Xian was stunned for a while, he put the plan on a few pieces with a bit of a headache, and said tentatively in his mouth.

"If Your Highness is willing to reduce the project, this shortfall can be reduced, and if the great voyage plan is terminated, it may be able to make up for more than half."

Zhang Cambodia rolled his eyes angrily, and unceremoniously pushed back - limited by the limitations of his vision, Zhang Cambodia has always had a lot of complaints about the Great Voyage Plan, but because Li Xian always insisted on it, he reluctantly agreed, but he never forgot to remind Li Xian at the right time.

"The Great Voyage? Hehe, Mr. reminded Lonely, this gap has fallen, and by next summer at the latest, this gap will be able to make up for most of it! ”

Zhang Cambodia didn't say that the Great Voyage Plan was okay, this matter, Li Xian immediately laughed - others may not know how high the profit margin of shipping is, but Li Xian knows it, don't look at the Great Voyage Program is very expensive, but a trip to the ocean down, all the investment can be recovered at least more than half, in terms of the size of the fleet owned by Li Xian at present, a trip to the Persian Gulf is about to come down, no matter how low the income is, it will definitely exceed the net profit of four million, this number is still the result of conservative estimates, in fact, it will only be more, And by no means less, knowing that silk is the equivalent of gold in Europe, and that the profits from spices bought from South Asia and precious stones from the Black Coats are an astonishing astronomical amount of profit.

"I hope so."

Zhang Cambodia is not as optimistic as Li Xian, in his opinion, the so-called great voyage plan is purely burning money, more than two million yuan has been invested in the front to build a large ship, and the back has to invest almost the same amount of money to buy goods and hire people, not to mention the huge cost, the risk is also very large, in case the whole family is smashed into the sea, Li Xian is afraid that it will be too late to cry.

"Sir, don't worry about it, this matter is alone, and there will be no risk of mistakes, sir, and relax."

Even in the heyday of the Sui Dynasty, it was just a few sporadic boats risking on the sea, and there were certainly those who made a fortune, but there were not a few people who lost their money and even lost their lives at sea, Li Xian knew this, but Li Xian was not too worried, just because the ship he ordered to build was a giant sea boat rebuilt according to the Tang Dynasty Sailor Building, whether it was the ability to carry wind and waves or the cargo capacity is not comparable to the small sailing ships of the people, for success, Li Xian himself is quite sure, not to mention that Li Xian has developed such a great navigation plan not only for economic interests, but also has more important strategic goals, even if it is not profitable or loss-making, Li Xian will never give up this great navigation plan.

"Your Highness! Now that the tribes in Hexi are no longer in trouble, can the 'Liaoyuan Fire Plan' begin? ”

Zhang Cambodia is very stubborn by nature, and it is extremely difficult for him to believe what he has not seen with his own eyes, but now seeing that Li Xian does not listen to persuasion, he does not want to bother talking more, so he changed the topic.

"It's okay to look at it alone, but the question of the leader is still a little uncertain, well, although Chang Zhi, Cheng Bin, Li He, and Ming Wu generals are all suitable candidates, but now they are all on the bright side, and it is not easy to use, as for Zi Ming, he is more than loyal and brave, but the opportunity is insufficient, and the way of military strategy is still not sharpened, and the rest of the military qualifications are insufficient, and it is very difficult for Lone to rest assured."

The so-called "Liaoyuan Plan" is an important attempt by Li Xian in military reform, that is, to establish a firearms unit, and on this basis, to explore a complete set of army building plans, so as to lay a solid foundation for the establishment of military academies in the future and the reform of the military system, and this is precisely the most important task in the five-year development program.

"Your Highness, Zhang has a candidate, or it may be suitable."

As the formulator of the plan, Zhang Khan Zhi knew the root cause of Li Xian's prudence, and he would not consider the issue of the leader in detail.

"Oh? Who does the gentleman want? Let's talk about it and listen to it? ”

As soon as he heard Zhang Cambodia's words, Li Xian immediately became interested, and hurriedly asked.

"Xiao Sanlang."

Zhang Cambodia looked at Li Xian with a smile and read out the name word by word.

"Him?"

Li Xian obviously didn't expect Zhang Cambodia to put forward such a personal candidate, and couldn't help but be stunned - Xiao Sanlang is also an old man in the palace, or Xiao Qian's cousin, born in the Xiao family, it can be regarded as both civil and military, but the ability in literature is stronger than that in martial arts, although he has followed Li Xian to fight in the north and south, but he has no outstanding achievements, and now he is just the Prince's Mansion team, barely one of the second-echelon training goals in Li Xian's overall military plan, but he is by no means a top-notch person, To put such a heavy burden in the hands of this person, Li Xian really didn't dare to let go, but this candidate was solemnly recommended by Zhang Cambodia, and there was no suitable reason, but Li Xian couldn't refuse on the spot, and hesitation was inevitable......
