Chapter 142: Guo Rong is also going to rip off the bamboo
"Today is the first day of queue training, how do you have time to come to Xingqing Palace?"
I didn't say anything when I met, and Li Rong's words first stunned Guo Rong, and then Guo Rong reacted, probably because of the briefing he made.
The last time I came to Xingqing Palace, although I didn't suffer a loss in the end, it woke up Guo Rong a lot, and it is not a bad thing to work hard, but it is not a good thing if you just work hard and the boss doesn't know, not to mention that now your boss is the emperor.
After learning from the pain, Guo Rong learned the work habits before the crossing, and made a briefing on the daily work summary, the daily changes of the Changying Army, the next day's work plan, and the arrangement of the Changying Army.
"Don't be surprised, your briefing is very good, very detailed, I am very satisfied, I will read it every day, and I will also transfer it to the Son of Heaven, the habit is good, keep it, how effective is the queue training?"
"Your Majesty, it's only one morning that most of the chiefs haven't started training yet!"
"What's going on?"
"Your Majesty is like this, most of the elders choose ......, that's basically it, my Datang is really talented, originally the minister thought that it would take at least half a month for the recruits to spend, but now it seems that in no more than ten days, these recruits can complete the conversion from civilian to soldier, and then they can start the next stage."
After listening to Guo Rong's description, Li Yu laughed out loud again.
"There is a chance to bring this Li Erniu over and let me take a look, but I am still a little curious, how did you refine this set of queue training from the classics."
“???”
"What kind of eyes are you, I would have moved a long time ago if I changed my head, although I am not good at military strategy, but I have been a prince for so many years, I have not read a lot of military books, although your queue training is novel, but it is not without a trace, Sun Wuzi has three orders, which is essentially no different from your queue training, if there is no trace at all, do you think I really dare to let you mess around?"
“……”
"What, don't want to say?"
“……”
I'm also just knowing that this queue training is also related to Sun Wu.,Let me tell you that this is a rabbit's recruit training and military training subject?。。。
"Forget it, don't say it, you have been doing a good job lately, I am very satisfied, what trouble did you encounter when you came here today?"
"Your Majesty, the Guo clan has been trying to contact the minister recently."
"Guo? I remember that Guo Xin also wants you to make up for Guo's family, it's okay to pass Guo Zhao, after all, Chun'er's imperial concubine is Guo Zhao's sister, yes, I'm right, just do it if you want to, I trust you. ”
"Your Majesty, but that's not the point of what the minister wants to say."
"Don't babble, you have nothing to hide in front of me."
"The minister wants them to provide some supplies to the Changying army."
Li Yu, who had always been pleasant, suddenly changed his face.
"The Changying Army belongs to the Beiya Forbidden Army, and the degree of application naturally comes from the inner library, I said that as long as the Tang Dynasty has it, as long as you bring it up, I will provide it to you, you don't need to worry about any logistical supply problems, I miss that you are young and ignorant, this time I will not pursue it, but this idea cannot come out again!"
Such a violent reaction really startled Guo Rong, but soon Guo Rong understood.
The Beiya Forbidden Army started from Li Shimin's establishment of "Hundred Cavalry", and later "Thousand Cavalry" and "Ten Thousand Cavalry", and the forbidden army was the private soldier of Emperor Taishang or Li Tang to put it bluntly.
How can private soldiers have the share of supplies provided by others, even if others provide them, the one who pays must be the emperor, this is Li Yu's bottom line!
Although he knew that this was Li Chen's bottom line, Guo Rong knew that Li Chen's bottom line was useless.
There were special fireheads and procurement personnel in the Tang Army, but Guo Rong chose to make them all independent and turned them into professional cooking classes and independent procurement officers.
When the officer in charge of the cooking class and the procurement officer found him at the same time and asked if there was really a half-catty plan, Guo Rong knew that although the starting point of his decision was good, if he didn't get it right, it would probably become a decision made by patting his head.
Then Guo Rong did his homework, mutton, pork, and poultry are the three main meats of Datang.
The annual consumption of various meats in the entire Daming Palace is about 600,000 catties.
According to the later period, the Changying Army had 12,000 regular soldiers, 12,000 auxiliary soldiers, and 6,000 logistics battalions, and the consumption of meat in the Changying Army would reach 15,000 catties a day after the Changying Army was fully established!
The price of mutton and pork is not cheap, even if some of them can be replaced by chickens, ducks and geese, but this accumulation is definitely an astronomical amount in a year, and just such a way to eat, you can eat up the entire Jing Zhaoyin in half a year!
"Your Majesty, the training intensity of the Changying Army is very high, and the consumption is very large, in order to ensure the physical strength of the soldiers, boost and boost morale, and quickly improve and maintain the combat effectiveness and loyalty of the Changying Army, the minister considers adding at least half a catty of meat to each soldier every day, considering the number of the Changying Army after the full formation, the minister feels that the cost is too large!"
This cost is not ordinary, Li Yu felt that his teeth hurt, and then he heard the voice behind Guo Rong.
"So the minister is considering whether to reduce the number of auxiliaries and logistics battalions......
"No, if you don't reduce the staff, the meat will have to keep up! If the inner government is not enough, even if I take out all my private money, I will definitely ensure the supply of the Changying army when I am hungry! ”
Li Chen's words were categorical and neat, because he listened to Guo Rong's words, and the benefits of sufficient supplies were also obvious, physical strength, combat effectiveness, and loyalty were not something that could be measured by money.
"Wei Guanzhi's words have been delivered, the nobles have already begun to deliver goods to Chang'an, and when their goods arrive, they will first set aside all the expenses of the Changying Army for at least one year, and then hand them over to the Hubu and Taifu Temple, I don't want to have another battle of Xingqing Palace."
Very good, for Li Xu's thoughts, Guo Rong found that his guess was right, Fengtian, Xingqing Palace, Guo Rong believed that Li Yu definitely didn't want to suffer three more times, and then continued to speak.
"Your Majesty, you misunderstood, what the minister wanted was to let the Guo family provide additional supplies such as meat, eggs, and milk to the Changying Army, and not give money to that kind of ......."
"How is this possible!"
"Your Majesty, the minister remembers that Your Majesty said that this thing is worth 10,000!"
Following Guo Rong's fingers, Li Yu saw the glass bottle that Guo Rong had turned into a glass bottle, thinking of the appearance when he bragged in front of Guo Rong at that time, his face instantly turned a little black, I also want to save face......
"The minister thinks that His Majesty said less, and the things used by His Majesty will be 50,000 guan anyway, and His Majesty will sell this thing to Guo Shi for 50,000 yuan, will Guo still dare not continue!"
Guo Rong's words almost made Li Yu not catch it in one breath, in order to peel off the skin of Xungui, he borrowed Guo Rong and the crown as a reason, and he had already decided to be very shameless, Guo Rong is good, what is the difference between this TM and robbery, this is spread out, and I am afraid that the name of the robber will go down in history.
“…… I can't afford to lose this ......! ”
"Your Majesty, if the soldiers know that in order to give them a daily meal, Your Majesty has sold all the priceless treasures that he cherishes the most, can they not be grateful for His Majesty's fist heart, what else can shake their loyalty!"
"If the workers, peasants, gentry, and gentry know that Your Majesty is obviously short of money and food in order not to increase their burdens, and would rather wronged themselves, but still adhere to benevolent government, first, do not increase taxes, second, do not plunder, and third, do not slaughter merchants, who can not be grateful for Your Majesty's kindness?"
"If someone really laughs at Your Majesty for this, I am afraid that it will be pointed at by thousands of people, but it can show Your Majesty's generosity and kindness to the fullest."
“…… I don't have that much to ......! ”
"Your Majesty doesn't, but your Majesty does, Your Majesty still remembers that Hu Shang named Anda Xian!"
"Of course!"
"That Anda Xian has a workshop for firing glass in his hands, and when the time comes, just find a random reward for them in His Majesty's workshop......"
"Huh? Is there such a thing? You won't be discovered! ”
"This kind of glass products are fragile, it is too inconvenient to transport them from a long distance from big food, it is not difficult to master the technology of burning paper, and the minister left Andaxian in order to have a family after the marriage, as for whether it will be discovered, Your Majesty can rest assured, after the minister and Yan Qing get married, this workshop will be secretly transferred to the mansion, and it will definitely not be discovered by outsiders!"
"Then I ask you, how much does I really have to do this?"
"Your Majesty, can the minister not say it?"
"I'm afraid that you can't help but cut me if you know!"
"If you know and don't answer, it's for the crime of deceiving the king, and you will destroy the nine clans!"
"Counting labor, the cost is about two cents......"
Hearing the two pennies, Li Yu felt that his blood pressure began to soar, is he a cheap......
"Hey, forget it, you go and communicate with the Guo family first, 30,000 people a day, even if half a catty of meat is a shocking amount for many years, see if they have the ability to supply 30,000 troops of meat and poultry, if they can do it, you can let them do it, as for this glass...... The glass thing, I need to think about it. ”
Li Yu can say this, Guo Rong is already very satisfied, but Guo Rong is still a little regretful when he leaves, Yan Qing followed the women's army to train outside the city again.
Listening to Li Chen's posture, he was ready to expand this army of ladies with Xingqing Palace cooks as the backbone to 1,000 people and become one of the sixteen guards of the Northern Ya.
Although he is not ready to let Yan Qing lead the army directly, Yan Qing will lead the general of the Women's Army as the eldest princess of Dunhuang.
Although he couldn't say anything, Guo Rong always felt weird.
The identity of the eldest princess is enough to press the horse herself under her, the general of the third rank VS the lieutenant general of the fourth grade, Yan Qing seems to be riding on himself again......
With Li Yu's promise, after leaving Xingqing Palace, Guo Rong went directly to Jing Zhaoyin with a familiar car, and asked Wei Guanzhi to arrange a meeting with Guo Hui on his behalf, and returned to the barracks of the Changying Army when it was dark.
