"What are you two sneaking into, this is the performance of the Dengzhou Sailor, and the court directly turned it over."

Li Xiang directly took the fold, the Dengzhou Navy Division now has forty-six large and small warships, which is the most powerful Navy Division in the nearby area, and they hope that when the spring starts next year, Li Xiang can go over and have a good test.

"Your Highness, this sailor warship is useless in peacetime, you work so them, the cost of training alone is 80,000 yuan per month, and some of it is paid by you out of your own pocket, what are you going to take them for?"

Niu Jinda is a little unclear, so you must know that they are stationed in the Turkic steppe, and everything is transported from the rear, and the monthly cost is only 110,000 yuan, which is slightly less than that of the Dengzhou Sailors.

Li Xiang knew that in the eyes of these generals, he seemed to be a little out of business, and he should train the cavalry and ballistas hard, and he should not spend money on those naval warships, because in recent days, the naval warships have not made any achievements, but they are better than anyone else.

According to the ideas of these people, take out the money to build a ship, I don't know how many Dawan good horses can be bought, as long as our cavalry is tough enough, we can directly kill it on land and take a boat to go there? Besides, can the places that took the boat be the Central Plains? Those are barbarians from all directions, even if we occupy their land, what is the use, it is said that there is nothing in that place.

Li Xiang didn't know how to explain to these two people now, not only the two of them, but also General Li Jing, who didn't like the naval warships very much, it was really too expensive for this military branch, and they couldn't see their use for the time being, except for threatening the two countries south of Goguryeo, so far there was no result.

"I told you a long time ago, this world is very big, our Datang is not the center of this world, there are still a lot of useful lands around, if you just think about the land, then you have already lost half of it, only by winning on the ocean, we can gain a firm foothold in this world."

Li Xiang has said similar things countless times, and whenever he said this, the two of them pouted, and then ended this conversation with Li Xiang, they didn't know anything about the world Li Xiang was talking about.

"Report to Your Highness, because of the blizzard, people have frozen to death on the grassland, and more and more people have come to ask for food in the past few days, should we open a warehouse to release grain?"

After more than ten days, it has reached more than ten degrees below zero, and there has been a violent storm on the grassland, in such a festival, many people on the grassland are going to freeze to death, because the people on the grassland are living in tents, if there is a reserve, then this winter can still be passable, but if the reserve is small, it is estimated that this life will be planted here.

"This is a critical time, we can't just hit the board and don't give sugar to eat, you pass my orders to help some people on the grassland, but you can't give too much, you can only feed them, and you can't let them eat enough, and at the same time we must convey to them a meaning, that is, these grains are squeezed out of our mouths."

Li Xiang thought about it and said, the little general below also understood what it meant, and immediately arranged for someone to do it, and the people on the grassland lived in difficulty.

In the past, at least five percent of the population froze to death in the winter, and these people didn't even have a tent, let alone enough to eat.

Now that Li Xiang's army is stationed on the grassland, then this matter must be changed, if the army of the Tang Dynasty comes to freeze to death, and the number of frozen people is more, then what is the significance of the Tang Dynasty staying here? Li Xiang wants to let the people on the grassland know through this matter that only if you follow Datang will someone take care of you.

"Come back, the pensions in various places must be handed over to the herdsmen by our people in person, and there is no need to give them too much, just give them a few days to eat, and then go to us to collect them when they are gone, if they give too much at once, then they will know that we have a store, and in addition, we must tell them that if the leaders of the tribes dare to snatch their grain, they can go to Donghu Mansion to complain, and Datang will give them a conclusion."

Li Xiang thought for a while and said, these tribal leaders on the grassland are not good people, and their supplies are a little lacking in winter, if the materials are handed over to them for distribution, some people will directly put them in their own warehouses, and they will not care how the people below live, as long as they live and nourish, even if the grassland is full of frozen bones, it has nothing to do with them, and the wild wolves on the grassland will eat all these things.

In the next ten days, the Tang army overcame all kinds of difficulties, some of the food in the hands of the herdsmen, many herdsmen were moved to tears on the spot, in previous years, when it came to winter, they could only choose to let the older people in the family starvation, let the young people eat, only in this way can they live, as for those who are old, it can only depend on God.

If the grain is divided equally, then the family may starve to death, which is also a custom on the grassland, they do not have enough food, and they cannot slaughter cattle and sheep, because these cattle and sheep are the head of the people, and only the frozen cattle and sheep can be eaten.

At the beginning, the tribal leaders were also very happy, at least his men were saved, and they would not die in the blizzard this winter, and if they died in the blizzard, then there would be no one to work for him next year.

But soon these nobles found out that something was wrong, the Tang army was buying people's hearts, in the past, when there was a blizzard, everyone had no other choice but to wait for death, but now that the Tang Dynasty has transported so much food, it makes them feel that there is another government, which is also a disguised saying that we couldn't do it before!

But even if they understood this, there was no way to change it now, and let them take things out of their warehouses, that would really look down on them, and they would not do such a thing if they were killed, and in their impression, those untouchables were not worthy.
