Chapter 248: The Emperor Who Raised His Eyebrows

Recently, I don't know why there has been a lot of talk in Chang'an, of course, there is also some news of grain, and the price of rice in Chang'an has fallen a lot.

Many people don't know what Keju's words are, but those who pay attention to these people are people who pay attention to the government, and many ordinary people have joy on their faces.

Because the price of rice has fallen, some people are afraid that it will rise again, so they can't help but buy more.

The changes in Chang'an also made many people notice, but they faintly felt that it was the masterpiece of the one in the palace, and they couldn't help but be silent.

Above the court discussion, Li Shimin rarely had a high spirit, which couldn't help but make the ministers who had heard that His Majesty was in a bad mood stunned, but they were still silent on the surface.

After the usual things were dealt with, Li Shimin had no idea of leaving, and all the ministers knew that this majesty still had something to say.

"I've decided to train an elite army!"

Li Shimin's voice sounded slowly, with a hint of joy in his words.

After the words fell, many ministers were stunned, but then a hint of joy appeared on the faces of the generals on their faces.

Because this has a lot to do with them, as for Wenchen's words, there was a trace of worry on his face.

"Your Majesty, this matter is not possible, now everything is in ruins, and you should not use all kinds of troops."

Then the first to stand up was Wei Zheng, this famous minister can get Li Shimin's love and hate, and he still has his own ability.

"Your Majesty, the treasury is empty, and this matter still needs to be cautious!"

And with Wei Zheng's first words, a middle-aged man stood up with a hint of melancholy on his face and said loudly, this person is the head of the household department.

This household secretary has a lot of calculations in his heart, because he is in charge of money, so he knows that even if it is because of the city tax, he can't withstand such consumption.

Subsequently, many civil servants came out one after another to advise, and these people were obviously aware of the situation of the national treasury.

However, the three of them, the eldest grandson Wuji and the others, were silent, and there seemed to be a hint of strangeness on their faces, and it stands to reason that His Majesty could not know the situation.

It's just that His Majesty seems to be confident, and for a while, the three of them are also undecided.

"There is no need to talk about this matter, the money and food for training this elite soldier will be allocated from the internal funds."

Li Shimin's face didn't seem to be surprised by this scene, but then he said quietly, with a hint of confidence in his words.

You must know that the money used to buy the grain of the father naturally came from the treasury, but the grain could not be used either, but had to be transported to all parts of the border.

However, although this money is transferred from the left hand to the right hand, there are still many differences for Li Shimin, and Li Shimin cannot use the money in the treasury as he likes, but the money in the treasury is the emperor's own business.

Since he spoke from within, many ministers looked at each other for a while, and then retreated, and at the same time couldn't help muttering in their hearts, where did Your Majesty get so much money and food.

For a while, the originally tense court discussion instantly became invisible, and of course there were a lot of doubts.

"Candidates for training elite soldiers, this time I decided to let many generals train 100 people each, and then the school competition decided to determine the candidate for the main general of this elite army."

Li Shimin then arranged to speak out, and the eyes of the military generals below had already brightened one by one.

Because there are still many Guogong guarding various places, it is invisibly a contest between these generals in Chang'an.

Of course, the main reason for this competition is that Li Shimin needs to buy grain from Lingnan, otherwise he will not be able to turn this money into food in a short period of time.

After announcing this matter, Li Shimin left, and the emperor was obviously in a good mood at this time.

You must know that in order to increase some military expenditures in ordinary times, the court has to discuss for most of the day, or even for several days.

However, today is very fast, which naturally Li Shimin secretly feels that the feeling of being rich is good.

In addition, Li Shimin naturally will not forget the matter of Keju, because this is a big industry to make money, as long as there is money to make, Li Shimin will naturally not let go.

Just when many ministers wondered how His Majesty had so much money, a small piece of news came out.

"An Xuangong made up a dowry of millions for the eldest grandson queen in one go."

This came from the palace, and many people took a deep breath for a while, and millions of dollars were not a small amount.

The most important thing is that An Xuangong actually gave away all this money, no wonder His Majesty has the confidence to pay for the training of elite soldiers.

Even the eldest grandson Wuji had a wry smile on his face, he didn't expect such an accident, you must know that he is one of them who knows the most about the inner court.

I thought that His Majesty had made a fortune somewhere, but he didn't expect it to be here, but in addition, he also had some doubts about why there was news in the palace that the price of rice would fall.

It's just that in the end, the eldest grandson Wuji still doesn't have any thoughts, and even now this majesty is not something he can see through.

"Maybe only the teacher can know why."

I don't know why, at this time, a figure appeared in the mind of the eldest grandson Wuji, and he muttered softly.

In Chang'an Academy, Shu An looked at the disciple Xue Rengui in front of him and couldn't help but show a trace of gentleness on his face.

After marrying, Xue Rengui looked less immature and more steady, which naturally made Shu An more satisfied.

It's just that Shu An didn't ask people to find this disciple to catch up on the past, after all, Xue Rengui is considered to have an official position, so the number of times he came to visit Shu An was less.

Fortunately, Shu An didn't care about this, the reason was very simple, that is, he was used to it, after all, there were so many disciples.

Even if Xue Rengui has been with him for a long time, there are still many people who have been with him for a long time, such as the eldest grandson Wuji.

"I don't know what the teacher has to tell the disciple to come."

Xue Rengui on the side had some doubts on his face and said respectfully, with a hint of curiosity in his words.

"You should have heard about the things above the court, I won a place for you for the division, and if you can take charge of this elite army, it depends on your own ability."

Shu An shook his head slightly and said slowly, it seems that Xue Rengui has a feeling of indulging in gentleness, but it is normal to be young.

In fact, he is not too optimistic about Xue Rengui in this matter, the reason is very simple, that is, this matter is not so simple.

Xue Rengui's shortcomings are also obvious, that is, he is still too young, but it depends on Xue Rengui's ability, if he can make Li Shimin recognize, there is still a chance.

As for Xue Rengui, he couldn't help but take a deep breath at this time, with a hint of excitement on his face.
