Chapter 77 School Exam(2/2)
The emperor was originally angry by Yu Zhi's fucking, but after hearing Di Renjie's words, he looked over with some confusion: "What does Di Xiang mean?"
"Your Majesty may not know that the Crown Prince's meaning is that since it is not worth the cost to help Goguryeo to suppress the rebellion, and does not help but fail to fulfill the obligations of the Sect Master, it is better to let Goguryeo completely disappear. Wouldn't this problem be solved?"
“…”
The civil servant looked at Di Renjie curiously, wondering why Di Xiang suddenly became a war maniac, while the military generals were all ready to fight. One of the ancestors of the Yu Tang Empire was that they could not be granted a marquis if they had to make contributions to the military!
"Your Majesty, no, the three armies have not moved, and food and grass will come first. Although our dynasty has not had any wars for many years, there has been constant border conflicts,..."
The Minister of Revenue said for a long time, and finally the only words I could summarize were just a few words, I, the Ministry of Revenue, have no money!
"War is about spending money, and you can make money!"
After Yu Zhigan finished speaking, he spread his hands helplessly. Who said that it cost money to fight wars? Maybe it was said that Yu Zhigan spent money to fight wars in that era, and that the pension for aircraft, cannons, shells were huge, but in this era, the cost of war was much lower!
"I wonder what the prince has to say?"
"Although Goguryeo is not a big country, I remember correctly, but their country is not poor, and the people in their country are not poor. Isn't it enough to support the war by fighting?"
"Crown Prince, this is not a benevolent way. The ancients said that if you are wary, you will die!"
"Then there is another sentence: Forget the war, you will be in danger! The Ministry of Accounts will be released in the early stage of military expenditure. When the Goguryeo is destroyed, the money and grain in the Goguryeo treasury will be replenished back to the Ministry of Accounts!"
Hearing Yu Zhigan's words, the Minister of War was about to stand up immediately, but Yu Zhigan waved his hand: "The Ministry of War also makes money. I remember that my father is still building an palace, right? Captive soldiers can be sold to construction sites, and save us from requisition of farmers, and Goguryeo soldiers' armor and weapons. These things will be less than worth the cost, but they can be made into farm tools, kitchen knives, etc....
"This is not enough to be a lot of ginseng, marten and other things. No matter how you look at this battle, you won't lose money. I wonder what you think?"
Yu Zhigan sorted out his opinion a little.
"this……"
"But, these things are also costly to transport back and forth, these costs..."
