Su Wan'er is a smart and sensible woman, she knows that she can't persuade at this time, and she knows that she can't be persuaded

Looking at Gao Ming, who had a resolute face, she sobbed while wiping away her tears, and then gently put her head on Gao Ming's mouth.

"Lang Jun, the concubine will be waiting for you to come back in the palace"

"Wan'er, I"

Seeing Su Wan'er so understanding, Gao Ming wanted to say that he didn't feel that it must be fake, and just as he was about to say a few heart-warming words, the voice of the waiter suddenly came from the door.

"Your Majesty, Zhao Guogong and Liang Guogong ask to meet"

"Uh" Hearing the voice of the waiter, Gao Ming suddenly frowned, "Why are they here?"

Although he was a little dissatisfied that someone disturbed him, for the sake of the other party, it was impossible for Gao Ming to ignore it, so he could only gently pat Su Wan'er on the shoulder, and then sighed.

"Alas, Wan'er, I have to deal with the national teacher first, and when I'm done, I'll come back to accompany you, I've wronged you."

"What's next?"

As soon as Gao Ming's words fell, Su Wan'er immediately shook her head, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and smiled at Gao Mingqiang, "If you take state affairs first, Bao'er will be handed over to the concubine."

"Hmm"

Hearing Su Wan'er's words, Gao Ming also nodded, he first kissed his doting daughter's little face, and then handed it to Su Wan'er.

"Then I'll go first, wait for me to come back"

After speaking, Gao Ming quickly kissed Su Wan'er on the face, and then turned out of the room, leaving Su Wan'er alone to hold the child, blushing and in a daze in the room.

And after Gao Ming left the house, he went straight to the study.

At this time, the eldest grandson Wuji and the others were talking in the study, and when they saw Gao Ming coming, they bowed to him one after another.

"Wechen has seen the crown prince"

"Excuse me" Gao Ming walked straight to his place and sat down, and then waved his hand towards Fang Xuanling and the others, "Everyone, please sit down."

"His Majesty Prince Xie"

After getting Gao Ming's permission, the eldest grandson Wuji and the others sat down, and only after they all sat down, Gao Ming opened his mouth again.

"It's not time to deal with the excerpts, a few people came to me because I plan to send troops to the Western Regions."

Hearing that Gao Ming went straight to the point, Eldest Sun Wuji and the others glanced at each other one after another, and then Fang Xuanling stood up first and bowed to Gao Ming.

"Your Majesty, what Weichen wants to ask is how many soldiers and horses does the Crown Prince plan to mobilize to go to the Western Regions?"

"At least a million or more"

Gao Ming replied without hesitation, because in his opinion, Li Shimin had an accident with hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses, so if he brought fewer people, let alone revenge, I am afraid that he could only deliver food, so for the sake of safety, he felt that it was safer to bring more people.

After hearing Gao Ming's words, Fang Xuanling immediately stroked his beard, and then opened his mouth again.

"Since the crown prince wants to bring more than a million soldiers and horses, how many people do you plan to recruit?"

As the saying goes, "soldiers and horses go first before they move food and grass", in order to serve the soldiers who go out on the expedition, then the corresponding people must be recruited, and the number of people is often multiplied by the number of combatants.

This Gao Ming also knew, so he hesitated for a while before opening his mouth again.

"I'm going to recruit 1.5 million people."

Hearing Gao Ming's answer, Fang Xuanling nodded again.

"The minister understands, but there is one thing that the minister has to tell the low prince, when His Majesty went out to the Western Regions, he brought less than 400,000 soldiers and horses, and the people he transferred were less than 600,000, but he spent millions of dollars."

Speaking of this, Fang Xuanling immediately bowed to Gao Mingshen.

"Now we have to gather a million soldiers and recruit 1.5 million people, which costs a lot of money, but the treasury is empty, I am afraid that it will not be able to support it, and I hope to think twice"

"The treasury is empty" Hearing Fang Xuanling's words, Gao Ming immediately frowned, "At the beginning, I brought back more than 10 million yuan of property from Goguryeo, plus the huge amount of commercial taxes paid by the Tang Royal Business Alliance every month, how can the treasury be empty?"

Looking at Gao Ming's look of disbelief, Fang Xuanling's face suddenly showed a wry smile, and he arched his hand towards Gao Ming again.

"Your Majesty doesn't know that most of the belongings you brought back from Goguryeo are gold, silver, jade and jewelry, and it will be difficult for these belongings to be exchanged for copper coins for a while to replenish military salaries."

"Is it" Hearing Fang Xuanling's words, Gao Ming frowned again, "What about the commercial tax collected I remember that in the last quarter, the three cities of Chang'an, Jingzhao Mansion and Luoyang alone collected more than one million yuan of commercial tax, and the entire Tang Dynasty added up, at least five or six million yuan."

As soon as Gao Ming's words fell, Fang Xuanling shook his head again.

"The tax collected by the Bureau of Commerce, His Majesty has spent nearly half of it when he went on the expedition, and the rest is not enough to pay the military salary, even if it is enough, he can't spend all the money in the treasury."
