060 Mother's sword
Tang Ping had long seen that the Tang Dynasty's foreign wars were likely to become more and more frequent in the future.
Hou Junji raided Northern Yan, and then captured the entire territory of Northern Yan, which gave a wake-up call to the surrounding countries of the Tang Dynasty.
In fact, this move broke Datang's strategic deployment and made Datang the object of defense of the surrounding countries in advance.
In the current situation, Datang also had to speed up preparations for war.
There is a saying that fighting a war is to fight logistics and financial resources, and this sentence may not be all true, but it definitely has its truth.
Tang Ping has always thought about the current combat mode of the Tang Dynasty, especially foreign operations, and the excessively long supply lines will bring great pressure to the finances.
After the vigorous development of private capital in recent years, in fact, wealthy businessmen everywhere are very rich.
So how do you make them willing to put money into the Tang Army?
The most realistic thing is to make their money more money!
Tang Ping had approached Li Shimin at the beginning, and Li Shimin also agreed with Tang Ping to follow the army in the way he said.
But relying on Tang Ping's strength alone is still a little small after all, so gathering more civil forces is the right choice.
These businessmen are not stupid, just like Liu Fatzi's analysis, there is only one risk in doing so, that is, Datang can't beat the other party.
However, the development of Datang's military strength in recent years is obvious to all, with various new technologies, breakthroughs in forging levels, the use of steam locomotives and the development of Datang Shenwei cannons.
Although these Tang tycoons may not understand military affairs, it is difficult for them to imagine that the Datang army has such a leading advantage, how can they lose?
Since you can't lose, then the risk is equal to nothing.
Who wouldn't want to do a business that can make a lot of money without risk?
The wealthy merchants of Chang'an even complained to Tang Ping, such a good thing is not looking for our local Chang'an merchants, why bother to go far and far to find those Luoyang merchants?
Isn't it just donating "a few beds" of eiderdown bedding?
They Luoyang Chamber of Commerce still have to make up for it, and even some of them are bought on their own side, but we Chang'an businessmen don't need it!
There are a lot of them in our own warehouse, and we can directly raise 50,000 beds to donate to the Datang army to show their support for the Datang sergeants!
So there was this scene, and Tang Ping was directly blocked on the way back to Chang'an.
"Shopkeeper Tang, you know me, my family's medicinal materials are said to be the first in the Tang Dynasty, isn't it too much?" Li Yuanwai patted his chest: "The bedding is not easy to collect now, can I donate some medicinal herbs?" ”
"Shopkeeper Tang, you know me, although my fur doesn't dare to say that Datang is the first, but it is also one of the best in Chang'an, right?" The shopkeeper Liu in the west of the city said: "The duck down futon keeps out the cold, isn't our sheepskin jacket cold?" Is it okay for me to donate sheepskin jackets? ”
Those who can get here are not fools, this investment in the early stage, and the later income they calculated, is simply not too cheap.
If the Tang Dynasty fights a war to destroy the country, it will be like Beiyan, although the people of Beiyan are suffering, but when I heard that their capital was breached, the army of Hou Junji, the treasure in the treasury, was moved for two days before it was moved!
Those things were collected on the spot, and then sold elsewhere when they came back, and this time and again, it was a huge profit!
The fierce girl is afraid of pestering Lang, and Tang Ping is actually afraid of it!
It's good to say, Tang Ping promised that if everyone is willing to help the Tang Military Department solve some difficulties in the past few days, then when the time comes to play, they will definitely take everyone with them before persuading people to leave.
In the next two days, Tang Ping stayed at home for two days to accompany Wang Qingluan.
It's messed up the military department in Chang'an City!
Because many wealthy businessmen in Chang'an came to donate things inexplicably, they didn't say that they wanted to do their best for Datang, and they didn't have any requirements, so they asked for a receipt issued by the Datang Military Department.
After the Datang Military Department learned the reason behind it, Li Shimin, who had already returned to Chang'an, was a little crying and laughing.
looked at the group of courtiers standing under the Xiande Hall angrily and said, "Hey, everyone usually says they are poor!" I also think that our Datang is not rich enough, but ......"
Li Shimin couldn't go on talking about it halfway, not to mention that the courtiers didn't expect this kind of thing, even when Tang Ping proposed it like this at that time, he didn't take it too seriously.
It seems that in recent years, although Datang has begun to attach importance to business, and the status of businessmen has also been greatly improved, they still underestimate the power of businessmen. "Forget it, don't talk about that kid, now I want to invite him to the Xiande Palace, even my words are not good, but this kid can't be reached, so we will do it, let him do it!"
Li Shimin was quite proud when he said this, and it didn't seem like he was convincing the courtiers below, but like he was cpu himself.
When the meeting ended, Li Jing walked up to Cheng Zhijie with bad intentions and said with a smile: "Old Cheng, you cheated that kid this time, with that kid's shrewdness and open-mindedness, you have to be careful!" ”
"Hey, everyone knows each other, don't talk nonsense, when did I cheat him!" Cheng Zhijie himself was a little panicked when he said it, whether there was a cheater this time, he himself knew best.
This Tang boy is becoming more and more sophisticated now, thinking that it is better for him to have less contact with him recently.
As soon as Cheng Zhijie returned home, someone came to report.
"Master, old lady, please come over!"
"Okay!" The old lady in the mouth of the next person is Cheng Zhijie and his mother, and I don't know what the old lady is looking for herself.
When he came to his mother's courtyard, as soon as he entered the door, he was slashed by a wooden sword that cut his head and covered his face.
Cheng Zhijie thought it was an assassin at first, but when he saw it clearly, he found that it was his wife, but he didn't dare to move.
I could only hold my head and ask, "Mother, what are you doing?" ”
"What am I doing?"
"What am I doing?"
"I told you to make some mess of the day!" Cheng Zhijie's wife read while fighting.
Lao Cheng, who was beaten up, learned that Tang Ping had come to the house, not only did people come, but he also took the engineering team to repair the glass bridge at home.
Who would have thought that the glass bridge would be so scary, a few curious juniors in the family, went up and cried one in fear.
Whose family is not the next generation, the juniors in the family are scared and crying, can the ancestors of the family not be angry?
So Cheng Zhijie came back and was beaten.
After another two days, a new poem written by Li Bai began to circulate in Chang'an:
"The sword in the hand of the loving mother, the body of the rebel son! Twelve swords in one second, sword sword crit! ”
