Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 1217 Give it to Qin Tian
"Wei Guogong, why do you think Tubo will directly attack me, Datang?"

When Li Jing said that Tubo would attack the Tang Dynasty, all the officials in the court thought it was very strange, and Li Shimin also thought it was strange.

Their Tang Dynasty is very powerful, even if they can't destroy Tubo, they will never lose to Tubo.

Tubo has no absolute chance of winning, so how could they attack Datang?
Moreover, there is Tuyuhun among them, and Tuyuhun has already recognized their Tang Dynasty as the suzerain state. If Tuyuhun attacks Tubo, Tubo will have no chance of winning.

Li Shimin asked, Li Jing smiled and said: "My lord, the matter is very simple. First, Tubo has great ambitions. Songtsan Gampo's goal may be our Tang Dynasty from the beginning. Second, during the polo competition before , We humiliated the envoys of Tubo. Songtsan Gampo is a man who wants to save face. He would have tolerated it before, but now that Tubo is stronger than ever, they may not be able to bear it. What's more, if they do something to Tuyuhun , but there is another enemy, Tuyuhun is small, but the soldiers are very tough, Tubo provoked Tuyuhun, if our Tang Dynasty helps Tuyuhun, then Tubo has no chance of winning, Songtsan Gampo is by no means an idiot, it should be They will send troops directly to attack Songzhou City of Tang Dynasty."

As the God of War of the Tang Dynasty, Li Jing had a strong ability to analyze the situation of the battle, and only from the aspect of Tubo's vision, he guessed that Tubo would directly use troops against the Tang Dynasty.

But after Li Jing finished speaking, the discussions among the court officials quickly changed direction.

"What Duke Wei said is justified. Tubo is now very ambitious, and will definitely attack our Tang Dynasty."

"That's right, I, Datang, humiliated them, and if they want to do something, they must do it against us, Datang."

"Using troops against Tuyuhun will only increase the number of enemies, and they will definitely attack us Datang."

"........."

All the ministers felt that Tubo would attack Datang.

And while the ministers were talking like this, some people also began to think of countermeasures.

"Your Majesty, it is really unreasonable for Tubo to use troops against our Great Tang. This is like a tree being shaken by a mayfly. But even so, our Great Tang should not be careless. We should send troops as soon as possible to support Songzhou City."

"That's right, Songzhou City only has [-] soldiers and horses. I'm afraid they won't be able to stop Tubo for a long time."

"Your Majesty, we must send troops to Songzhou City as soon as possible. We must hit Tubo hard and let them know how powerful our Tang soldiers are."

"Extremely, extremely, send troops to Songzhou City..."

The officials said, and Li Shimin nodded after thinking for a moment: "My dear friends are right, even if Tubo doesn't use troops against us, Tang Dynasty should send troops to Songzhou as soon as possible to prevent accidents. Niu Jinda leads [-] soldiers and horses to Songzhou City to resist the Tubo soldiers and horses, the household department must prepare the food and grass needed for the soldiers and horses as soon as possible, and there must be no mistakes."

After Li Shimin said this, the officials of the household department immediately stood up and said: "Your Majesty, [-] soldiers and horses are quite a number, and they need a lot of food and grass, but this is just before the grain harvest. Enough food and grass can only be purchased from the people, but the price of food at this time is not cheap, and the Ministry of Households can't afford so much money for a while, so this matter is difficult to handle, please allow a few days of grace."

Under normal circumstances, the price of grain is the most expensive before the new grain comes out, because at this time, there is already a cycle, and there is basically not much grain left, so the price will naturally be expensive.

After the new grain comes out, the price of grain will drop a lot accordingly.

Therefore, it is normal that the Ministry of Households cannot provide the food and grass needed for [-] soldiers and horses.

And recently, Li Shimin has been recruiting soldiers and buying horses again, and wants to avenge Goguryeo, so he has used a lot of military supplies, and the money of the household department is even more insufficient.

Li Shimin also knew about these situations, so after hearing what the household officials said, Li Shimin couldn't help but frowned. Without food and grass, this battle would be difficult to fight.

Before the soldiers and horses set off, they must prepare enough food and grass.

It's just that this food is not easy to prepare?

Li Shimin was worried, and all the officials in the court immediately became worried.

"This...how can this be done? Without food, this battle is not easy to fight?"

"Who says it's not, and it will take more than a month before the new wheat harvest, and it may take a month for these new grains to be ready, so it will take two months, and transportation will take time, waiting for more than two months Afterwards, the food was transported to Songzhou City, and the daylily might be cold."

"Yes, yes, we must raise food and grass as soon as possible."

"But the household department has no money, what should I do?"

Everyone was in trouble, Qin Tian stood on the top of the hall, his expression was a little calm, or he was not listening to this matter at all, he was still thinking about gentle things, what is the origin of this woman?
He actually got Qin Tian into his calculations.

He, Qin Tian, ​​hadn't stumbled much before, and Wen Rou was his first time with this woman.

He had to figure it out, to figure it out, just because of one look in her eyes, one sentence, now he, Qin Tian, ​​was actually not liked by Li Shimin.

Women, what a disaster, especially beautiful women.

Thinking this way in his heart, Qin Tian naturally behaved differently from others.

But Li Shimin was in a dilemma, looked down, and saw that Qin Tian was not worried at all, he felt a little unhappy in his heart.

These people can't afford to make trouble for this matter, but you, Qin Tian, ​​don't talk about hugging my beautiful girl, and don't share my worries for me now, how can this be possible?

The more Li Shimin thought about it, the more unbalanced he felt, so when the officials were discussing and didn't know what to do, Li Shimin waved his hand and said: "Let Qin Aiqing handle the lack of money in the household department, Qin Aiqing As a minister, the affairs of the household department are also your affairs, Qin Aiqing, what do you think?"

Li Shimin asked, and it wasn't until everyone turned their gazes over that Qin finally came to his senses.

"Your Majesty... what did you say?"

Qin Tian didn't hear what Li Shimin said.

And after he spoke like this, Li Shimin's face suddenly became a little ugly.

"The Ministry of Households is short of money, should you think of a way, Shang Shu Ling? After all, my Tang Dynasty is going to fight, and I can't afford to buy food and grass if I don't have money. Within a few days, help me raise the money I need for food and grass."

Li Shimin's words no longer gave Qin Tian any chance to choose, and after Qin Tian heard it, his cheeks turned a little purple. He already understood what was going on, but within three days the food and grass needed for [-] soldiers and horses were raised. Money, it would be too embarrassing for him.

Even if he took out the available assets of the Qin family, it might not be enough. For 3 people to fight the war, the money needed is huge.

Moreover, he will not take out his own money.

"Holy Majesty..."
