Soon, Li Shimin returned to the palace with the generals, and Li Shimin was obviously very happy. Many generals are like arsenic, and they know that they will have fewer and fewer opportunities to guide the country on the battlefield in the future, because firearms have been developing rapidly, and their combat methods have become outdated. Once their methods of warfare become obsolete, the emperor will not pay attention to them, and they may not be useful. Now, maybe they can still rely on their old qualifications for a short time, but they will definitely not have this opportunity in the future. This is the difference between a political and a military strategist. The political family will not care about any changes in the tactics of the army, and the change in the tactics of the army will not affect their status. Military strategists are different, once the tactics they are familiar with are eliminated, their status will be smaller and smaller.

"Perhaps, it's not impossible to send children to military schools to study!" They thought to themselves.

In the future, the battlefield will be a world of synthetic warfare, and these veterans are already "old", so it is naturally impossible to learn what synthetic warfare is. But their son is still young and can still learn the theory of synthetic warfare. As long as the Datang Military Academy learns synthetic combat, he can rely on his old face to make his son rise quickly in the future. After all, their mode of combat in the past has been completely changed, and in the future it will be a semi-firearms operation, and if they can't learn how to fight together with all arms, then how can they command the army well.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I am very happy today. I saw the day when Datang was able to sweep the world, and I saw the day when Datang was able to dominate the world. With firearms, who will be the opponent of Datang in the world? Therefore, Datang will be invincible in the world! Li Shimin said proudly.

"Spread the decree, the household department will immediately allocate funds, and at any cost to form this firearms force first, as long as it is formed, my Datang will not be afraid of any foreign enemy attack." Li Shimin said.

However, because Du Ruhui was recuperating. Dai Guan, the head of the household department who temporarily acted for Du Ruhui's position, immediately smiled bitterly and said: "Your Majesty, as the minister is the head of the household department, he naturally knows how much money I have in the Tang Dynasty." Although my Datang has gone through a few years of recovery, it has just finished fighting the Turks, and the naturalization of the Turks still needs a lot of things and a lot of money. And after that, the money spent is even more massive. And the minister also had a general understanding just now, that is, this firearms unit may cost a lot! First of all, to make artillery, then very high-quality steel is required, which costs a lot of money. And. The manufacture of gunpowder requires a group of people. Soldiers who use firearms need to be literate and literate, and they cannot use firearms without culture, and this is also a fund. Because firearms will inevitably be contaminated with some harmful things, such as gunpowder is inevitably poisonous, or the rumbling sound of explosions will inevitably damage the ears, we can't say something to the soldiers, right? There are many, many more, and in total, the cost of forming a firearms unit is probably more than 20 times that of other sword and gun units. And. In the future, there will be all kinds of training, and maintaining a firearms unit will probably cost a lot of money. So. Your Majesty, our Tang Dynasty may be able to raise an army of firearms, but it is impossible to feed it! ”

Li Shimin's face immediately darkened, and he wanted to scold Fang Xuan with great interest just now. Formation of firearms units. But the reality immediately slapped him hard, and at that time, the country's financial resources were insufficient. The firearms unit is very powerful, but it also eats money! This one is totally a gold-swallowing beast. No amount is enough. The cost of building a firearms unit is probably 20 times that of an ordinary unit. That is to say, the cost of components of this Shenji army, which uses firearms, may be comparable to so much as the national army in the past.

Li Shimin thought of this, and his face turned green. Just now, he was excited, and immediately ordered Li Xiaogong to be in charge of forming a firearms unit, and even the official position was drawn up. But now he actually said that he didn't have enough financial resources, this was a slap in the face of Li Shimin. But Li Shimin has no choice, and he can't make money if he doesn't have enough money! Li Shimin is not a golden dragon who lays golden eggs, where to pull out all this money! In ancient times, I didn't want future generations, so I just wanted money to print more banknotes. The money of the Tang Dynasty was the copper standard, and how much copper could be used to make money. If you don't have enough copper, you can't mint money. Where did Li Shimin go to get it? This is obviously impossible!

At the end of the day, it's a one-on-one thing. If you don't have money, what kind of firearms troops are you playing! But if you don't get it out, then Li Shimin will not be reconciled, because if such a powerful army can't be used to conquer the Quartet, then Li Shimin's heart will not be comfortable. If you don't have it, it's fine, but now it's obviously there, but you can't use it, and this is too speechless. This is like seeing a delicious fruit right in front of your eyes, but you just can't walk through it, and you don't have enough strength!

"Your Majesty, why don't you embezzle the money used to educate the Turks for the time being?" One guy said.

But Wei Zheng immediately said: "Your Majesty, you must not embezzle the money to educate the Turks. Educating the Turks, that is for the long-term peace and stability of my Tang Dynasty. It would be too risky to appropriate it for the sake of an unknown firearms unit. And even if the firearms unit can be formed for a while, it will cost a lot of money to raise the troops later. Once the money for the indoctrination of the Turks is misappropriated, it will be dangerous. Moreover, the future indoctrination of the Turks, the selection of scholars from all over the country to support education, all of which cost money! So, the money must not be touched. If the emperor must make an order, the minister can only use the power of my province to refuse. ”

Now Wei Zheng's position has been adjusted, and he has become a servant of the province under the door, responsible for reviewing the national policies of the imperial court. And Liu Renliang is also Wei Zheng's subordinate, and Wei Zheng will not embarrass him too much.

Hearing Wei Zheng say this, Li Shimin finally calmed down, because the problems of the Turks had not been solved, and the money could definitely not be embezzled. Once appropriated, the Turkic indoctrination work may not be able to be promoted. When the time comes, won't the Turks just fight in vain? Now is the first time to sustain the fruits of victory, not to continue to explore.

"Jingwen, tell me, is there any way to get money and then form this firearms unit? Since you made this firearms unit yourself, it's up to you to solve it. If you can't figure out a way, then you can see it yourself. Li Shimin asked.

Jingwen immediately scolded in his heart, but he immediately used his brain to think about it and said, "Your Majesty, we might as well raise soldiers with business." (To be continued......)
