Li Rui's visit again was not unexpected. As the commander-in-chief, Li Ruilaiyan, who will be located in Kucha City in the future, cooperated with him in a good relationship and established good relations. The harmony between the military and the civilians is the basis for the question.

In order to suppress the army, the military pay was distributed uniformly by the court. However, the specific payment was completed by the local government. The local government allocated military pay to the army, and the procurement of daily supplies such as food and grass was also completed by the local government and sent to the military camp. Then it was settled uniformly with the court and deducted this part from the taxes that should be paid.

The local governments have a great say in whether the military pay can be allocated on time and whether the food and grass can be fully supplied. It is also a meaning of the civil and military control of the court.

Generally speaking, in more economically developed areas, the treatment of the army will be better, because in addition to these things clearly stipulated by the court, local governments will also spend some funds to give to the army in the name of working hard. During festivals, the government will distribute some materials, and it will not be short of the army.

After all, the army can still help a lot in the local area. When etiquette comes, it is natural to ask someone for something to ask for help.

But for places with financial difficulties, it is difficult to do these things.

Like the Western Regions, it is a typical difficult place.

"Xue Ping can really do it. He actually left you a bare Protectorate?" Li Rui said astonished at the empty house.

"I should avoid suspicion when I get down to the melon field." Successfully smiled and said, "But this is also good. I can arrange the arrangements according to my preferences. General Li, please come inside."

The two of them came to the small living room, Cheng Ling made tea for them, so they stepped out and guarded the door.

"There are only 30,000 soldiers in the entire Western Regions, is it enough?" Success is still a little worried.

Li Rui smiled slightly and said, "It's enough. The Chengdu Protector may not know that decades ago, the Tang Dynasty was stationed in the Western Regions, but it only stationed more than 20,000 troops, and actually controlled tens of millions of square miles of land in the entire Western Regions and even more than the west. His Majesty kept thinking about the Battle of Henglus. My Tang Dynasty was only more than 20,000 troops, but the opponent was as high as 200,000. That battle was a draw. Now the equipment and quality of our Tang army are not at the same level compared to that time. The combat power will only be stronger. So, in terms of safety, the Protectors can rest assured."

Successfully said, "I am an amateur in military affairs, so General Li laughed at me. General Li should not blame me for being too careless. In fact, the external unstable is not stable and the internal economy is difficult to build up."

"I can assure the Protector that no matter who he is, it would be better if he didn't mess with us. If he dared to mess with us, the General Secretary would never come back. To be honest, if it weren't for the strict orders of the court, I would have wanted to push it to the west again." Li Rui spread his hands, feeling helpless.

"I heard that Qinghai-Tibet is still moving troops?"

"The disease of mustard mustard is just a dying struggle, and it does not hurt the overall situation." Li Rui smiled and said, "Li Hai is enough to deal with it. In two years, Qinghai and Tibet will be cleared."

The Fifth Corps garrisoned the entire northwest, including Qinghai-Tibet and the Western Regions. Among them, Qinghai-Tibet is now led by Li Hai to garrison 20,000 troops, while Han Rui was transferred to the Western Regions to lead another 20,000 troops to garrison the border, while Li Rui brought the remaining 20,000 people to various parts of the Western Regions. Judging from the garrison, it is obvious that the imperial court now attaches more importance to the Western Regions, and the reason is that the cannibals still poses considerable threats to the Western Regions.

Speaking of which, the Fifth Corps only has 60,000 troops, but in fact, this number does not include the Jing'an Army. For example, in Qinghai-Tibet, Xue Renzhong was in charge of the Jing'an Army, but in the Western Regions, Tang Ji was in charge of the Jing'an Army.

"The army's cuts have been enough for General Li to work hard for a while?" Successfully said with concern: "If there is any trouble, General Li will just say it bluntly."

"When it comes to trouble, of course, there are some." Li Rui said seriously: "In fact, to put it bluntly, it is a matter of comfort. Except for some of the soldiers who were laid off, the rest must be properly placed. Unlike the Central Plains, a considerable number of the original troops in the Western Regions were naturalized armies of other ethnic groups. The distribution of land and the distribution of comfort funds cannot be delayed. The court also urgently allocated a large amount of emergency funds for this. Protectors, you cannot use this money for other purposes. Our Fifth Corps was the first to carry out military reduction reforms, and other departments were watching. If something went wrong here, the next thing would be difficult to do."

Successfully laughed a few times: "General Li, don't worry, military affairs have always been big things. They will never make things difficult for you. Even if you don't get enough money, I can come up with other alternatives. In short, this matter will definitely be done fairly. If General Li agrees, I want the Protectorate and your General's Office to organize a special working team to deal with this matter specifically to facilitate the coordination between the military and local parties. What do you think?"

Li Rui touched his chin and heard from success that it was difficult to get the full amount of the emergency payment. Success must have had some alternative solutions, so that he could get some of the money out of it and transfer it to the place. However, as long as he could get things done safely, he didn't care about how to do it.

What matters is the result.

"The Protectorate is a bad money?"

"It can't be described as a shortage of money. In my opinion, it's impossible to get rid of the blame!" Chenggong smiled and said, "Are you trying your best to make the big businessmen's ideas? But they are all thousand-year-old foxes who have become spirits, which is difficult to deal with! In addition, there are big bosses standing behind them, which is even more troublesome."

"I feel that Dupu seems to have a vassal?" Li Rui asked with a smile.

"I have some ideas! Now I am really holding a big fat piece of meat in my hand. As long as these people still have appetite and want to take a bite, the possibility of success is extremely high." said successfully.

Li Rui nodded thoughtfully and said, "In fact, in addition to official business, there are still some private matters to ask the Protector to ask the Protector to come today."

Success is a bit surprised.

"I don't know what a private matter is? As long as you can do it, of course there is no problem."

"Didn't Dugu's shortage of money?" Li Rui laughed: "Now someone asks me to escort money to Dugu."

"I don't know which great god was able to invite General Li?" Chenggong felt a little nervous. As far as he knew, the generals of the Li family, Li Mi, Li Hao, Li Rui, Li De, Li Han and others were very clean and had never reached out for business. It is said that this was the strict order of the Emperor Li Ze.

"Prince Shiyi!" Li Rui spread his hands, "so, it was not a request at all, but a direct order to me."

The so-called Shiyi Prince is Li Anmin, the old uncle of His Majesty the Emperor. After retiring from the Ministry of War, he was granted the title of Shiyi Prince. He no longer cared about state affairs, but served as the royal family and managed the basic affairs of the royal family. Financial management is naturally one of them.

To put it bluntly, the money in the hands of the Prince of Shiyi is the money from the emperor's own family.

Success is a bit of a headache.

"The royal family is not short of money, right?"

"Why aren't you short of money? You're so scared!" Li Rui said: "It was a little better before. Since His Majesty ascended the throne, he has been short of money even more. He sees that he has a lot of income every year, but it's even more unpredictable to spend it. He doesn't hide it from the Protector that we all take money from here. We are not allowed to do business, we are not allowed to drink blood of soldiers, and we are not allowed to accept gifts from others. However, we are also intimate, we have to exchange favors, we have to give rewards to subordinates, and we have to support our families and not lose face. Although the military salary is high, it is far from enough. Therefore, the emperor will give us an additional subsidy, and this money is taken from here. If something happens, you can apply for an extra money."

Success couldn't help but nod. He knew that the emperor had extremely strict control over the royal family.

"It was just enough, but now the Empress has to withdraw a large amount of money every year to invest in charity, and suddenly let the Prince of Shiyi sit down. Seeing that this continues, the old capital will eat up. There is no way, so she can only find another way to make money. The Western Regions, Qinghai-Tibet, will be business opportunities next, but it is very big. Isn't the old prince just eyeing this place?"

"This..." Success instinctively wanted to refuse, but suddenly remembered this matter, but I was afraid that the emperor would know it. I felt a sudden blow in my heart, but the words came to my mouth but swallowed them back.

"The prince knows the difficulties of the lord, and knows that the rewards will not be much in a short period of time. However, the prince is focusing on the future. After all, the old capital in the family can still be used for several years. Moreover, the prince also believes in the ability of the lord, so for this money, the lord can do whatever he wants! The lord has money in his hands, and it will be easier to do a lot of things."

"I don't know how many?" Sheng asked cautiously.

"Two.5 million!" Li Rui stretched out a slap and shook it in front of success. "The other 2.5 million was invested in the Qinghai-Tibet Tang Degong where!"

Success suddenly understood that the emperor was not spending money to get him? It was obvious that the emperor knew his difficulties and wanted to give him money to support him! With the identity of Prince Shiyi and the royal card, what to do in the Central Plains is not faster than making money here!

His eyes suddenly became wet. The emperor had done this when the scholar died for his confidant. If he couldn't do anything well, wouldn't he be ashamed?

He stood up and bowed, "I thanked King Shiyi for my behalf on behalf of General Li, and said that he would definitely not let the Kings' love fall in the empty space, and there would be a reward."

Li Rui laughed and said, "With this money, will the Dugushou no longer have to make the emergency money?"

"I didn't have an idea to make you, it's just a coordinated use." Success said with a smile.
Chapter completed!
