Chapter 341 Li Xuan: Are you distressed?
"oh?"
Upon hearing this, a trace of doubt flashed in Li Shimin's eyes.
"I have been away from the summer heat in Xuanba Villa these days, and I am a little happy about Shu. However, I have been dealing with government affairs in the court meticulously and have not had any omissions. I wonder what you mean?"
"Your Majesty, do you know how many pieces of swords, horns, armors, crossbows, and military weapons will be produced in this year?"
Du Ruhui said happily.
Fang Xuanling and Changsun Wuji on the side were also smiling. Before, they had counted the number of these weapons every ten days, so they agreed with Li Shimin's words of sending troops.
Hearing this, Li Shimin asked subconsciously: "How many?"
At the same time, full of anticipation.
"Go back to Your Majesty, there are 60,000 steel knives, 50,000 armor, 60,000 crossbows, 60,000 steel, and even 5,000 steel lances!"
Du Ruhui said with a happy face.
After hearing this, Li Shimin was a little disbelief, "There are so many?"
"By Your Majesty, this is because these weapons are made of stainless steel. If they are made of iron, there will be more!" Du Ruhui said.
Li Shimin breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Enough, enough!"
"But why are there five thousand fine steel lances?"
"When you go back to your Majesty, the horse lance is the most popular weapon for the generals. Therefore, when the military weapon surveillance is forging weapons, your Majesty also issued an edict to let the military weapon surveillance forge a batch!" Du Ruhui explained quickly.
"In this way, they forged five thousand horse lances?"
As he said that, a hint of heartache flashed in Li Shimin's eyes.
How many pieces of steel can a horse spear be forged with dozens of kilograms of fine steel?
"Your Majesty, now the Young Mansion Supervisor can produce thousands of kilograms of fine steel in one day. By the next year, the twelve guards can be equipped with weapons forged by the steel!" Du Ruhui bowed and said again.
Hearing this, Li Shimin nodded slightly.
Then, thinking of something, he continued to ask, "How many carriages have you saved now?"
Du Ruhui thought for a moment and said, "When you go back to your Majesty, there are already 1,000 four-wheeled carriages that can transport goods, 3,000,000 troops, and two thousand veterans who are skilled in driving carriages.
"In addition, with the teachings of doctors Sun and other doctors, there are already two thousand of the twelve guards who can stop bleeding. Moreover, the hemostatic medicine packs, golden sore medicine packs, and painkiller bags made by doctors Sun and other doctors have 50,000 packs each!"
“Very good!’
Li Shimin was overjoyed, and he had guaranteed his supplies, food and medical staff, and he was more confident about the conquest of the Turks.
"His Majesty!"
At this time, Li Wei hurriedly walked in from outside the hall with a hurried look on his face.
When he came to Li Shimin, he bowed slightly.
“What’s the matter?’
Li Shimin asked.
"Return to Your Majesty, a few days ago, Xue Yantuo, the Turkic tribe, called himself Khan, and has sent an envoy to report to Your Majesty.
Li Wei hurriedly replied.
"Where are people?" Li Xuan asked.
"Go back to Your Majesty, the messenger Xue Yantuo has arrived in Lingzhou now. In another two days, he will arrive in Chang'an City!" Li Wei replied.
Li Shimin nodded slightly, then looked at Fang Xuanling and others beside him, "Everyone, what is the purpose of Xue Yantuo coming this time?"
Changsun Wuji gently stroked his beard and bowed and said, "Your Majesty, Jie Li does not believe in his royal family. He only believes in the Han Dynasty Zhao Deyan, and allows Zhao Deyan to control the country's affairs. He also handed over certain regimes to a group of Hu tribes.
Moreover, every year, we launch an army to invade the border of our Tang Dynasty, and there is not much gain, which makes its subordinates unable to bear the suffering.
Moreover, Jie Li indulged in lust and retreated from violence, killed loyal and kind, and protected treacherous and slandered. In addition, the Hu people were reckless and had no faith in their words many times, and their orders were always changed.
I heard that this year, the Turkic famine was severe and Jie Li was severe in harsh conquests. Many tribes were all determined and no longer tolerated Jie Li's oppression.
The accident, my husband guessed that the messenger Xue Yantuo should have come to bow down and ask for my protection from the Tang Dynasty!’
Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui also nodded slightly: "Your Majesty, I'm sorry.
"good!"
Li Shimin also nodded slightly, and a hint of compassion flashed in his eyes.
However, they did not know that after Xue Yantuo established himself as Khan, Jie Li Khan also sent an envoy at the suggestion of the Prime Minister Zhao Deyan to write an envoy to Li Shimin, hoping to claim his tribute to Li Tang.
After receiving Jie Li Khan's memorial, Li Shimin was confused.
He quickly sent someone to summon Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji and others into the palace again.
“What do you think about this?’
"Your Majesty, Jie Li actually took the initiative to praise Your Majesty. Although Zhao Deyan's contributions are made, the news sent back by the caravans must be true!"
Changsun Wuji said slowly.
"The auxiliary machine means that the Turks brought back by those caravans have severe famine this year, and many tribes have died and injured countless cattle and sheep, so they can't survive the winter?" Li Shimin asked.
As the sofas, glass and other caravans traveled around the surrounding barbarians, the Tang Dynasty added another easy and honest information to the surrounding countries.
Sometimes, some absurd things about the powerful and powerful people in the vassal states such as the Turks, Goguryeo, and Tubo can be heard by Li Shimin and others.
"Back to Your Majesty, this is exactly the matter!" Changsun Wuji bowed and said.
Li Shimin nodded slowly and said, "In addition, Jie Li wants to ask for a princess!" "Good marriage?"
Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji and others were all stunned.
"That's right!" Li Shimin nodded.
"Your Majesty, you can refuse this matter!" Changsun Wuji said.
"That is, if Jie Li Khan wants to take this opportunity to raise troops, Your Majesty can take the opportunity to send troops!" Fang Xuanling said hurriedly.
"Even if a group of censors want to object, it will be useless!"
Du Ruhui also said slowly.
"good!"
Li Shimin nodded happily.
He called Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji and others for this reason.
Afterwards, Li Shimin discussed Fang Xuanling with Changsun Wuji and others for a moment, and then the few left.
After leaving the palace, Du Ruhui summoned the generals of the twelve guards and talked for an hour. When the last group of generals of the twelve guards walked out of the Ministry of War, everyone looked happy.
In the next few days, the powerful and powerful people in Chang'an City subconsciously felt that there was an undercurrent in Chang'an City, especially among the twelve guards, they were even more restless, as if there was something big.
However, a group of powerful people went to investigate, but they could not find any clues.
Li Xuan did not notice these things.
After the autumn harvest, Li Xuan felt even more relaxed.
Every day, Li Xuan still gets up until midnight.
After drinking a cup of light tea and breakfast, I went to the forging shop for a walk.
Now, Letai and others have made great progress in papermaking.
The two thousand acres of barren land in Lijiazhuang were all reclaimed.
In addition, two craftsmen who will serve as supervisors have begun to pave cement roads.
At the same time, two huge granaries have been built on the side of Lijiazhuang, which can store 5,000 kilograms of grain at a time, and now one granary has been filled.
Four hundred steps away from the granary, an independent small workshop was built, which was the winery shop built by Li Xuanrang's supervisor.
Every day, there are ten stones of food that are pushed in.
When they came out, there was only half of the crumbs left.
Looking at Li Chang's face full of distress.
"Master!"
“What’s the matter?’
Li Xuan asked lazily.
"Return to the king, the villain observes that the king's brewery needs to consume ten stones of food every day. When it comes out, about five stones of crumbs are left...
Li Chang said carefully.
"Do you feel sorry?"
