"What I want to tell His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is about the strategy of Liaodong." Xuan Shijing said with a smile.

Originally, Xuan Shijing didn't plan to do much, but when he saw Jinyang sitting next to him, Xuan Shijing felt that if he wanted to propose to His Majesty Li Er in the future, he still had something to handle, so he simply helped Li Chengqian to lay out in Liaodong in advance, and when His Majesty Li Er and Goguryeo fought, it would be regarded as a dowry gift for the future father-in-law.

Xuan Shijing remembered that Goguryeo was originally defeated after Li Zhi ascended the throne and became the emperor, that is to say, His Majesty Li Er's eastward expedition to Goguryeo did not make any substantial progress, which was a very depressing thing during the reign of His Majesty Li Er.

"Liaodong? Stratagem? Li Chengqian looked at Xuan Shijing.

"That's right, it's to lay out in Liaodong in advance." Xuan Shijing explained: "Do the three highnesses know the current situation of Goguryeo? ”

"Goguryeo is nothing more than Gao Jianwu and Quangai Su Wendou now, but this doesn't seem to have much to do with Liaodong, right?" Li Ke said.

"What Brother Jing means is that there will be a battle between the Tang Dynasty and Goguryeo, and if the Tang Dynasty goes east to Goguryeo, it will definitely meet Liaodong first." Jin Yang opened his mouth and said.

Li Tai and Li Chengqian glanced at each other, and then looked at Xuan Shijing: "Xiao Jing wants to take this opportunity to prepare early in Liaodong?" ”

"Yes, what a good opportunity, taking advantage of this snowstorm in Liaodong, no matter what things are transported over there, or what things are built, they will not be noticed by Goguryeo, this time we will make such a vigorous fuss about this disaster relief, from the bright side, how would I never have thought that the Tang Dynasty would be so openly laid out in Liaodong, besides, this place in Liaodong is not only staring at Goguryeo, but also the Wa Kingdom, Silla and the Ministry."

The biggest role of Liaodong is to monitor and defend against the intrusion of these neighboring countries, if you want Liaodong to have long-term peace and stability, you must build Liaodong into a military important place that can be attacked, retreated, and defended.

"So you asked Gu to go to Liaodong in person, in fact, disaster relief is small, and the layout of Liaodong is your main idea?" Li Chengqian asked.

"Yes, this kind of thing can only be done by you, and before you go, you have to discuss with Your Majesty how to arrange it, about these, we are not as ruthless as Your Majesty." Xuan Shijing said.

"But the current treasury" Li Chengqian frowned and said: "The current treasury does not say that it supports the Tang Dynasty's eastern expedition to Goguryeo, and even the money for disaster relief now can only be collected 70,000 yuan. ”

Regarding the issue of the treasury raised by Li Chengqian, Xuan Shijing is really a headache, the Hou Mansion is not short of money, and even Li Ke and Li Tai are not short of money because they occupy a role in the Hou Mansion Chamber of Commerce, but the treasury is the treasury after all, and the money can't be allowed to directly relieve the treasury, so Xuan Shijing is very curious about how the officials of the Tang Dynasty have run the treasury over the years.

A huge treasury, the taxes of the Tang Dynasty, and the spoils plundered back by the generals who went out to fight

Coupled with His Majesty Li Er's small treasury Internal Affairs Office, even the money for disaster relief can only come up with 70,000 yuan!

"In addition to the 70,000 yuan made up by the treasury and the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the rest will be handed over to me and Jinyang, you also know about the Jinyang Charity Fund, and now it's time to come in handy, but since the treasury can't come up with the money, you can't blame the Jinyang Charity Fund for taking away some of your prestige among the people at this time, after all, you eat meat, you have to let the princes and ministers of Chang'an City drink some soup, this matter alone is that your three brothers have the lion's share, and it will always attract people's eyes, The Jinyang Charity Foundation can be regarded as distracting the eyes gathered on you. Xuan Shijing pondered: "There is no shortage of money and food, now let's talk about the soldiers stationed in Liaodong." ”

"Well, the frostbite of the soldiers can't be solved, and it's always a piece of my heart." Li Ke said.

Compared with Li Chengqian and Li Tian, Li Ke stays in the army all the year round, and always has a special feeling for the sergeants of the Tang Dynasty.

"It's approaching the end of the year, where can I find so many doctors who are willing to go to Liaodong now." Li Tai said: "Xiaojing, is there any good way? ”

"Do you really think I'm omnipotent, the doctor doesn't want to go, can you still tie people up? But you can post a heavy reward, after all, few people can't get along with money, not that there must be brave men under the heavy reward, you can try, but the Liaodong soldiers have suffered from frostbite for a long time, even if this time has passed this hurdle, what about the future? In my opinion, it is most appropriate to train a group of doctors in the army itself, but it is too late now, and it can only be recruited from all over the country. Xuan Shijing said.

"Brother Jing, if you want to treat the frostbite of the soldiers, you can also directly dispense the medicine and transport it to Liaodong, in this case, the number of doctors going to Liaodong can be reduced by more than half." Jin Yang said.

"That's right!" Xuan Shijing squinted his eyes and said: "That's right, the medicinal materials for frostbite can be opened out of the house and sent directly to Liaodong, if it is a doctor, His Royal Highness the Prince, how many people are in the palace hospital?" ”

"Xiao Jing, you don't want to send all the people from the Tai Hospital, do you?" Li Chengqian looked at Xuan Shijing and asked.

"Yes, Your Highness, don't you think that the people in the Tai Hospital are a little too idle on weekdays? Now it's time to use them. Xuan Shijing said, for folk doctors, you can't directly order people to go to Liaodong, but the doctors in the palace hospital are different, working for the royal family, do you dare not listen to what the master says? I don't want to get a promotion or a raise.

"But, what about the people in the palace?" Li Chengqian said, whether it is the body of His Majesty Li Er or Empress Changsun, the palace is inseparable from the imperial doctor, not to mention that there are so many people in the palace, it is inevitable that someone will have a major illness or a small disaster.

"There are so many people in the Tai Hospital, it is enough to leave a few, and the rest, whether they are doctors or apprentices, will go to Liaodong with His Royal Highness the Prince, which is a merit." Xuan Shijing said.

"Even so, in the heart of the imperial doctor, I'm afraid he is reluctant." Li Chengqian said.

"What's so hard about that? This kind of thing, earning fame, is still considered meritorious, and it should be rushed. Xuan Shijing said: "Why don't you have the spirit of sacrificing your ego at all? His Royal Highness the Prince, it's time to test your personality charm, don't be cowardly. ”

Li Chengqian nodded solemnly.

"Very good, now I ask Your Highness to immediately order the doctors of the Tai Hospital to prepare medicinal materials for the treatment of frostbite overnight, and the 70,000 yuan of the treasury will be used first!" Xuan Shijing said with his fists clenched.

"Calling the money of the treasury?" Li Tai asked, "I'm afraid this will be criticized by the courtiers."

"Since His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has decided to do it, why worry so much? At least once believe me and my son, money, it's really not a problem! Xuan Shijing said with a smile. (To be continued.) )
