664 Li Shimin was angry

Grand Duke John looked at the hot transaction below with a smile, and it was really not wrong to listen to Tang Ping.

This is really a lot of money, only he and Tang Ping here know how much profit they make from such a carriage.

In particular, many people pick up their cars with zero down payment.

These were Visigothic nobles, and Archduke John could give them the carriage first without even asking them for any mortgage.

In Visigothic, no one should have dared to rely on him and Tang Ping's accounts.

One installment payment is equivalent to a price increase of two percent, and he really can't imagine how Tang Ping came up with such a good idea.

In addition, there are many nobles who also bought the carriage in full, and he calculated that in about two months, he will be able to recover the cost.

I've never seen such a lucrative business.

The only horse-drawn carriages produced here are tires that have to be imported from Datang.

There is no way, Datang's current rubber industry is relatively developed.

In Europe, however, there is no technology to make rubber tires.

Tang Ping estimated how many more cars could be made of rubber tires here, so he went back to Chang'an, planning to bring in another batch of rubber tires.

As soon as he returned to Chang'an, he was blocked by Cheng Chumo.

"Brother Ping, you're back, and I'm saying I'm going to call you."

"What's wrong?" Tang Ping asked Cheng Chumo if it weren't for a big event, he wouldn't have asked Cheng Chumo to come to the convenience store to call him to contact him.

"Your Majesty was angry, and my father said that you should come over and help come up with ideas."

"Your Majesty is angry? What's the matter? Tang Ping asked a little anxiously, there are not many things that can make Li Shimin angry now.

Hearing Tang Ping's question, Cheng Chumo spread his hands and said, "I don't know, my father didn't say it, it is estimated that it is a confidential matter, anyway, my father said to call you over." ”

"Okay!" The tire matter is not in a hurry, let's see why Li Shimin is angry first.

Drove into Chang'an, went directly to the palace, and then headed towards the Xiande Palace.

"They also have faces? Yes? Whoever messes with it doesn't matter, the fight actually loses! If you lose Miao Man today, will you lose Nanzhao tomorrow, and then lose Tianzhu the day after tomorrow? Don't we want Datang's face? ”

Tang Ping quietly touched in, came to Li Jie's side and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Li Ji whispered to Tang Ping with a strange face, and he knew what was going on.

It turns out that in recent years, due to continuous expansion, Datang has continuously mobilized elite troops to be stationed in Tianzhu, Arabia and other regions.

The number of troops in the country began to be insufficient, so the number of troops was expanded.

The current Tang Army is not the same as in the past, all of them are professional soldiers.

You don't have to work or anything like you used to, you just train.

But a few days ago, there were some conflicts on the two sides of Miao Man, and it was impossible to say who was right and who was wrong, anyway, the soldiers on both sides fought.

The Datang soldiers also knew that they couldn't make a big deal out of it, so they didn't use firearms and weapons, so they went up empty-handed.

As a result, the Datang soldiers had never beaten the soldiers of Miao Man, and they were beaten by a fat beating.

Then these Tang soldiers were not convinced, and when they returned to the camp to get their weapons and go again, they were discovered.

Miao Man was also afraid, so he directly sent someone to Chang'an to ask for the guilt, and Li Shimin knew the whole story.

Although this is not a battle, even if it is a fight with fists, when have the Tang soldiers ever lost?

That's why there was such a big fire.

Although this matter is small, it exposes a problem, that is, the quality of Datang's current recruits is not good.

In Li Shimin's words, how many years has Datang been strong? Can't even win a fight?

Now it happens to be Zhang Liang in charge over there, and at this time, he can't lift his head when he is standing in the middle of the scolding.

Li Shimin also saw Tang Ping come in, and said to him: "Okay, don't talk to Li Ji anymore, what do you think about this?" ”

Tang Ping thought for a while and walked to the middle and said, "In fact, Yun Guogong can't be completely blamed for this. ”

Hearing Tang Ping exonerate himself, Zhang Liang looked at him gratefully.

He also sat at home, and the pot came from heaven. It was indeed his precinct over there, but it had only been three months since the recruits had been recruited.

"Don't blame him, who is to blame?" Li Shimin said angrily: "Is it strange? ”

Tang Ping said strangely: "If you want to say that...... Actually, there are some ...... Reason. ”

That's why he dared to say this, and after he finished speaking, Li Shimin didn't lose his temper, but just let him continue.

"Because our Datang soldiers are now highly paid, and Your Majesty is sympathetic to those veterans, so the recruits are given priority to let the children of the clan recommended by the veterans enlist in the army. As long as they are physically and age-appropriate, they are given priority over other applicants who have signed up for the military. ”

"But this will create a problem, that is, the children of the clan recommended by these veterans may not all be suitable or able to become qualified Tang soldiers, and even many of them are just running for a way out to join the army."

"I have also occasionally heard that the training of recruits in the army is a little slack, because some instructors and the brothers and uncles of those recruits may be the same comrades, and the training is not for personal gain, after all, there are some places to release water, and it is not advisable to do this in the long run."

Tang Ping knew that this was Cheng Yanjin's purpose for calling him back, and they could see these things, but they didn't dare to persuade Li Shimin.

You can only speak for yourself.

At the beginning, when Li Shimin did this, Tang Ping actually didn't approve of it, but at that time, the Tang veterans continued to fight abroad, and in a few years, they fought the rebels of Dongyue, Turkic, and Hou Junji, and also fought Tubo and went abroad to fight Tianzhu and Arabia.

To say that these veterans are definitely worthy of the Tang Dynasty, so Li Shimin issued such an order, recruiting soldiers to give priority to recruiting the children of the veterans.

At that time, Tang Ping also thought that these children must still be guaranteed in terms of loyalty, and if they train well, they may not be able to become excellent Tang soldiers.

But now it seems that it still doesn't work.

Seeing that Li Shimin was deep in thought, Tang Ping continued: "Your Majesty, our Datang is now taking a road that no one has ever walked before, just like crossing a river by feeling the stones, there will always be mistakes in places. ”

"If you find a mistake, just correct it in time!"

Li Shimin was worried that such an order had only been promulgated for a few years, and if it was canceled now, it would inevitably blow the morale of the veterans.

But what Tang Ping said also made sense, so he looked at the other Tang generals below and asked, "What about you?" What do you think? ”

These people, you look at me, I look at you, and then bowed down and said, "The ministers also feel that what Ping Guogong said has some truth. ”

Li Shimin blew his beard: "Is there no way to compromise?" ”
