Chapter 200: Military Spending is a Problem

If the Emperor Taishang has no ideas, it will naturally be fine, and if the Emperor Taishang will use the topic to let himself attack Pinglu and Huaixi, it will not hurt, it is a big deal to take the Xuanwu army with strong soldiers and horses to fight out the justifiable territory.

After all, he was ordered by the emperor to go on the expedition, could it be that the tens of thousands of forbidden troops of the emperor dared to sneak attack and take Bianzhou when he sent his troops?

If you really dare to do this, the Li Tang royal family will really betray their relatives and leave.

But if the Emperor Taishang has an idea and dares to do it, then he can't blame himself.

When the time comes, it's a big deal to unite Li Shigu and Wu Shaocheng to raise troops, and it's against the damn!

The three major feudal towns of Xuanwu, Pinglu and Huaixi raised troops, so will the three towns of Hebei still be able to watch the show?

Xuanwu, Pinglu, Huaixi, plus Fanyang, Chengde, and Wei Bo, the six major feudal towns raised troops at the same time, and Li Tang's Guozuo may end here.

In that case, compared to other feudal towns, there are many soldiers, plenty of grain and grass, abundant money, and the emperor takes turns to do it, and whoever dares to say it next year will not be able to come to my house!

"Handsome and wise!"

Han Gongwu left Bianzhou with the letter, and rushed all the way to Luoyang before the Emperor Taishang's army pulled out the camp.

「…… My father was worried about Pinglu and Huaixi, and he didn't dare to send troops without the emperor's order......

Looking at the letter in his hand as evidence, and then at Han Gongwu who was kneeling on the ground, Emperor Li Yu quietly listened to Han Gongwu's statement.

"The concerns of the left servant shooting (Han Hongxuanwu Junjiedu envoy plus inspection school left servant shooting) are not unreasonable, although the plot is ill-intentioned and ill-intentioned, but Pinglu and Huaixi have a solid foundation and strong strength, if they rush to send troops, it is indeed easy to cause a chain reaction, and it is indeed not appropriate to move lightly."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your compassion!"

"Abide by your duty, be loyal to your duties, judge the situation, be loyal and capable, and shoot the left servant to the country! You go back and tell Zuo Servant to shoot, let him prepare for the battle with peace of mind, no need to worry, everything else is there, no need to worry!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"Tell Zuo Servant to shoot that I and Datang must not treat any hero who is truly loyal to Datang!"

Han Gongwu left, and Li Yu asked Guo Rong, who was standing beside him.

"Do you understand?"

Guo Rong nodded, but then shook his head again.

"Which part you understand, tell me, and see if you have learned anything in Luoyang recently."

"Well, this Han Hong obviously has a ghost in his heart, and he is more or less uneasy about the army, and I can probably guess why His Majesty agreed to Han Hong without hesitation."

"Can you guess? Tell me about it."

"Han Hong is the envoy of the Xuanwu Army, and he has the responsibility to defend the territory, and now he has come up with evidence that there are signs of rebellion in Pinglu and Huaixi, even if Your Majesty does not agree, you can't stop him from reorganizing the army and fighting, anyway, Your Majesty is really just going through Bianzhou, and by the way, he is deterring the feudal towns in Shandong, so he pushes the boat down the river."

"Smack! Syllable! Smack!" Li Yu's applause rang out, "Yes, you haven't negotiated with me with these wealthy families in Shandong in vain in the past few days, if you can understand this step, and if you can do it, it will be enough for you to survive in Chang'an."

"And what else do you not understand?"

"I don't understand why Your Majesty did this......

"Hehe, it's right if you don't understand, I have a hint for you, do you think I'm on patrol this time, why is it Li Xun who is on patrol with me, and not other Zaifu?"

Li Xun, the white-bearded old man who walked a little trembling, but was in good spirits, was the only elder in the court who did not enter the cabinet.

Originally, Guo Rong thought that this old man had nothing to do with him, but after setting off from Chang'an, Guo Rong was surprised by the exchange.

Old Man Li's eldest son, Li Shao, was the original judge of Fengxiang Festival, and now he has followed Zhang Jingze from Fengxiang to Longyou.

The second son, Li Ji, joined the army in Jingzhao Mansion under Wei Guanzhi, and was a capable general under Wei Guanzhi.

According to Wei Guanzhi, before the auxiliary soldiers with the Changying Army attacked Xungui's Wu Fort before Xungui raised his troops, this soldier wearing an official uniform put on a piece of chain mail and took the lead and rushed in, directly raising the skulls of nearly 1,000 people.

However, it is not far from entering the cabinet, Duan You seems to have begged for bones, and the Emperor Taishang also approved it, but the Emperor Taishang asked Duan You to hold on for a while longer, and wait for him to come back this time before stepping down.

"Okay, let's go and prepare, I've been exhausted by the nobles of Shandong in the past few days, stay in Luoyang for one more day tomorrow, and then go east from Luoyang."

"Yes!"

Guo Rong left, but this operation made Guo Rong puzzled.

According to Li Yu's arrangement, after redrawing the marching plan with Li Yu and Zhang Jieyi, Guo Rong simply found Li Xun under the suppression of curiosity.

"Gong Li, today's Xuanwu Festival is ...... to make his son, Your Majesty said that Gong Li can answer my questions, and I have come to ask for advice!"

glanced at Guo Rong with some doubts, as if to say, Your Majesty would do such a tasteless thing, say this kind of vernacular?

"What did Your Majesty say?"

"Well, Your Majesty is asking me why it was Li Gong and not the other Zaifu who accompanied His Majesty on the patrol."

Li Xun understood in an instant, stroked his long white beard and said with a smile.

"It is indeed more appropriate for the old man to explain to General Guo, after all, His Majesty is not good at money, can General Guo know any position of the old man in the court?"

"Gong Li is a squire of the military department and an iron envoy of the salt branch!"

"The military department is actually managed by Duan Shangshu, and the most important position of the old man is to make a salt and iron envoy, do you know what the position of the salt and iron envoy is?"

"Salt...... Tie ......, probably to make money for the imperial court!"

"Well said, General Guo has a good understanding, in recent days, His Majesty and the old man have had a quarrel with the wealthy family of Shandong, and General Guo is also watching as His Majesty's escort throughout the whole process, may I ask General Guo what are we arguing about?"

"It's not the potential benefits in the future, and the way the benefits are distributed, no, that's what Your Majesty said, Li Gong seems to be ......" Guo Rong was stunned for a moment halfway through.

"It seems that Li Gong is fooling the wealthy families of Shandong to fund the establishment of ......, no, Your Majesty said that it is forbidden to use the word fooling, and Li Gong is persuading the wealthy families of Shandong to invest in the plan of the imperial court!"

"Hah! Ha! Ha! General Guo doesn't have to care, just use flickering, the old man also thinks it's very appropriate, General Guo can know this, then it's easy to explain, the Changying army is brave, loyal, and good at fighting, this is the recognition of the government and the opposition!"

"But does General Guo know how much the Changying Army spends in a year?"

Guo Rong shook his head, at first he tried to ask, trying to save as much money as possible, but after being reprimanded by Li Yu for the general's task to lead troops to fight, not to be a miser, he didn't ask again, so now he really doesn't know.

"Not counting the pension, not counting the meat supplies, not counting the Forbidden Garden Barracks, the total cost of forming an army is eight million a year!"

"Does General Guo know how much the Datang treasury earned last year?"
