Li Xingchen didn't care about this, because of the black blade, he didn't plan to pit the country that paid in advance, but he was very ashamed of their next move, so he cheated it.

As for the cotton clothes, one hand to pay and one hand to deliver, no problem.

Now that the textile machine has been successfully transformed, the annual output in the coming year will be more than ten times more than this year, which can become an important bargaining chip for the next winter to make a lot of money in various countries.

At the same time, during this period, the caravans of the major families of the Great Wei Dynasty also purchased a large number of scarce substances in the Western Regions, which were used to make weapons.

Of course, the Dawei banknotes are still used.

After the planning of Zhang Tian and others, the Dawei banknotes have been in normal circulation in the Western Regions, and only a very small part of the places are not normal, but as time goes by, there will be more and more places to use paper money, and the lives of the people will be more convenient.

Of course, the money earned is to enjoy it first, Li Xingchen is not in a hurry to continue to wage war to get money, but to recuperate.

In this Turkic war between Gaochang and Gaochang, the Great Wei soldiers lost tens of thousands, and a lot of money was lost to comfort the families of the deceased soldiers.

The money is lost, but it can't erase the wounds of a family.

Li Xingchen knew that if this development continued, it would not be conducive to the development of the imperial court and the loyalty of the soldiers, and would lead to war in the Great Wei.

If we can improve the aftermath process a little more, rather than just losing money, this problem can be greatly alleviated.

Regarding this matter, Li Xingchen summoned his confidant ministers to the imperial study.

"This time, I want to talk to you about the soldiers' compensation."

General Long Hu arched his hand and said, "Your Majesty, it is the glory of a soldier to be able to sacrifice for the country and the people."

Li Xingchen looked over, but he didn't expect that his words were not recognized, and his face immediately sank a little.

The words are good, but they can't come from the mouth of General Long Hu.

General Long Hu, as the general of Zhenguo, should be the welfare of the soldiers.

Nowadays, the Great Wei is not what it used to be, ordinary elderly people can receive pensions, but soldiers do not, this is the heart of the cold soldiers.

You can't be like this in life and work!

After a moment of silence, Li Xingchen said in a deep voice: "I feel that soldiers have made great sacrifices to protect their families and defend the country, and they should enjoy pensions, even ten years lower than the age of ordinary people, and their treatment should be higher than that of ordinary people."

It is the glory of soldiers to sacrifice for the country, but on this basis, after the country is rich and the people are strong, soldiers should also be given higher courtesy! Only then can the soldiers feel that it is worthwhile to serve the country and the people, and only then will the latecomers go forward and succeed, sacrifice for the country, fight for the country and glory.

Otherwise, it is easy for them to only listen to the words of the generals, and they do not even have the concept of the imperial court, which is not a good thing and is not conducive to the consolidation of imperial power.

You must know that since ancient times, whenever it comes to rebellion, it is inseparable from the generals and soldiers, and only with soldiers can they rebel, but if you can firmly tie the hearts of the soldiers to the court, whether it is the king or the general, it is not so easy to rebel.

Last time, he also discussed the issue of military power with General Longhu, but the problem has not been resolved for a long time, so this time he wants to change this problem by improving the welfare of soldiers.

The prime minister said, "Give the soldiers special treatment, they will inevitably make a moth, right? It will have a huge impact on the overall morale of the military."

Li Xingchen shook his head, "That's right, but it's not all right. Think about it from your perspective, if the imperial court only gives you a penny a month, are you still willing to be the prime minister? Are you willing to die for the court?"

The prime minister choked, how can this be so compared?

But listening to the meaning of Li Xingchen's words, it seemed that he had made this decision, so he pouted and didn't say anything more.

On the contrary, General Long Hu was moved, and nodded after thinking for a moment, "Your Majesty, the old minister supports your decision."

Subsequently, other military attachés and ministers also clasped their fists in agreement.

The prime minister finally hesitated, opened his mouth and wanted to agree, but he still didn't agree.

Li Xingchen didn't care, stretched out his hand and gently knocked on the desk, and said, "Come up with a plan as soon as possible.

The plan should involve injuries, serious injuries, minor injuries, and so on

The more detailed the compensation, as well as the pensions, the preferential treatment of the rest of the family and the descendants, etc., the more detailed the better, and I will look at it here.

The money will be paid out of the inner treasury here!"

The money earned by the royal industry is all placed in the inner treasury, which is considered Li Xingchen's personal money.

Since the emperor planned to use this money as a soldier's various subsidies and pensions, some ministers who hesitated to oppose it had nothing to say and did not need to worry about this kind of thing.

General Long Hu's eyes changed and changed when he looked at Li Xingchen, and he was full of admiration for him.

After the meeting, everyone began to get busy again, discussing and researching all kinds of things, and preparing to come up with a plan for Li Xingchen.

Outside of the Great Wei, the Turks have been making frequent moves recently, secretly purchasing supplies from various small countries.

However, on the surface, it is a purchase, and behind the scenes, it is all dedicated to the Turks by various countries.

These supplies are used to make artillery carriages!

Yes, after half a winter of research, the Turks have copied artillery carriages that are almost identical to the original.

Xue Yantuo!

The prime minister cautiously said, "King, we must not repeat the mistakes of the Japanese kingdom, and we must be careful of the Turks.

If we can, we in the Turks should be able to steal the full version of the gun carriage manufacturing method."

King Xue Yantuo twisted his eyebrows and said, "Are you afraid that the Turkic King will not keep his word?"

Now Xue Yantuo vigorously supports the Turkic imitation of artillery carriages, and also gave a lot of materials some time ago.

But Xue Yantuo suffered losses in similar matters, and the Eastern Emperor Rumeng also came over with a plan for special medicine, saying that what could be done, but what could not be done in reality, and finally lost millions of taels to Dawei.

Therefore, this is also the reason for the great worry.

Even so, Xue Yantuo has no way, iron tools are needed to make artillery carriages, Xue Yantuo iron ore is limited, how can there be so many iron resources, if you want to build a large number of artillery carriages, you have to rely on the joint efforts of other countries.

The prime minister said: "Wang, the artillery carriage is a big matter, and it must be guarded against, even if the Turks keep their word, I am afraid they will also reap a benefit from our country."

He had a hunch that once the Turks produced a large number of artillery carts, they might not obediently send them as promised.

And after they have artillery carriages, to a certain extent, they are on an equal footing with the Great Wei, and which country dares to be presumptuous against the Turks, and in the end they must not be obediently manipulated, as if they were the same as the Great Wei at the beginning.

After pondering for a moment, King Xue Yantuo nodded, "The Great Minister's concern is not unreasonable, this king knows what to do."

It is not wise to put all your hopes in someone else.

If you want to hold the right to speak, you have to have your own gun truck!

He also asked the Turks to move the secret base to the border side to facilitate the supervision of various countries, but he refused.

The reason for refusal is simple.
