Chapter 344: The Emperor is Bitter, Gap
"I don't have much money in private."
Facing these three glances, Li Shimin couldn't help but show a wry smile on his face.
To know that as an emperor, Li Shimin generally does not expose his shortcomings, let alone admit defeat as a courtier.
However, this time, Li Shimin did not hide anything at all, but admitted that he couldn't take out so much money.
Because according to what the eldest grandson Wuji and others said, then at least hundreds of thousands of yuan will be spent, not to mention post-war rewards and the like.
This is also a large amount of money, and it is naturally impossible for Li Shimin to spend all the money in his hands.
At this time, the three of them, Changsun Wuji and the other three also showed a trace of astonishment, as if they didn't expect this emperor to answer like this.
However, since he answered in this way, it also proves one thing, that is, this majesty is afraid that he will not be able to come up with so much money.
"Your Majesty, if you don't have the money, then sending troops to the grassland will be greatly discounted."
Fang Xuanling said with a bitter face, because once it enters the winter, there is no sufficient warmth, and the heavy snow is the enemy of Datang.
At that point, it is not known what will change, because no one can guarantee that this war will end before the cold winter comes.
And according to the inference, this is also impossible, because the Turks still have a lot of strength.
Even now that the Eastern Turks are divided, Jieli is still a person not to be underestimated.
What Fang Xuanling could think of, the three people present could also think of, but they were all very worried.
Obviously, this is very bothering, and if you give them more time, it won't be like that at all.
"Let's estimate how much money you'll need."
In the end, Li Shimin gritted his teeth and said that if he let go of this opportunity, then even this emperor would be very unwilling.
Not to mention Jie Like, the hatred of this emperor, it is this kind of situation, he will never let go.
And once and for all, kill Jieli once, instead of waiting for revenge in the future.
Especially after listening to the previous plan, Li Shimin didn't want to drag Jieli for so long.
"Hmm!"
Seeing that this Majesty has made a statement, the three of them, Changsun Wuji and the others, can only trust this Majesty now.
Because this emperor was the only one who could raise a lot of money in a short period of time, the three of them did not hesitate to report the estimated results as soon as possible.
Time is too precious to be wasted, for the army has already been drawn and they cannot afford to return.
The order changes overnight, and even Li Shimin cannot do such a stupid thing.
Although the night fell, in fact, many people couldn't sleep, including the eldest grandson Wuji, as well as Li Shimin and others.
Before dawn, Li Shimin had already woken up, and red silk was faintly visible in his eyes, obviously not stable last night.
"Your Majesty, Lord Eldest Sun and the others have already estimated the money overnight."
Not long after he woke up, the eunuch Wang De on the side had already begun to report the matter, and he didn't dare to hesitate much.
Because His Majesty had already explained that once there was estimated news, he would be notified immediately, and Wang De would report it as soon as the emperor woke up.
There are also statistical papers full of quantities, and Li Shimin also did not hesitate and immediately looked at them.
"What?"
However, this emperor couldn't help but exclaim lightly, with a hint of surprise in his words, and the whole person's face was also bad.
The reason is that the final count of money has reached 500,000 yuan, which has far exceeded Li Shimin's budget.
If it is one or two hundred thousand words, then Li Shimin can still take it out by gritting his teeth.
But this is 500,000 yuan, not a small amount, and I am afraid that it will not be enough to sell him.
However, even Li Shimin doesn't think there is anything to cut from the list on the list.
For example, weapons and armor, if you know that these things in the new army were eliminated before, they can basically only be used for training.
Now that we are going to the battlefield, do we need to replace it with a new one, naturally we need it, and it is naturally impossible to save these things.
"Where did I give birth to so much money!"
Li Shimin gritted his teeth and said loudly, with a hint of unwillingness in his words.
On the side, Wang De also lowered his head, not daring to look directly at this majesty, because he was in a bad mood now.
Of course, Wang De, who has been following Li Shimin, knows why, knows why His Majesty is like this, but he is just a little eunuch, and there is no way at all.
But at this moment, a glimmer of light suddenly flashed in Wang De's mind, he had no choice, but there was a person who might have a way.
"Your Majesty, can you ask An Xuangong?"
Wang De cautiously probed out his voice, in his eyes, An Xuangong was a peerless wise man in the world, and it seemed that any problem in the hands of An Xuangong would not be a problem.
"Father?"
As soon as Wang De's words fell, Li Shimin's eyes were stunned and he muttered softly, but finally nodded.
To know where there is money, then it is necessary to look at a father, because what often seems to him is a difficult matter, but it is a simple matter in the hands of the father.
"Prepare the carriage immediately, I want to leave the palace!"
After thinking of this, Li Shimin spoke out without any hesitation.
"Your Majesty, it's not dawn yet, I don't know if An Xuangong can get up."
It's just that Wang De on the side was a little embarrassed and said loudly, because it was still dark, and His Majesty was a little anxious.
"It's okay, I'll wait for the Father to get up."
Li Shimin continued to speak, with a hint of anxiety in his words, obviously not having the patience to wait a little longer.
.......
"Step, step!"
Because the sky is not yet bright, the gate of Chang'an has not yet opened, so the sound of horses' hooves is very loud in the quiet streets of Chang'an.
However, after arriving in Shufu, Li Shimin got bad news, that is, his father was not in the city.
"Your Majesty, An Xuangong seems to have been a little busy lately."
Li Junxian on the side said with some embarrassment on his face, after all, An Xuangong's traces were not always in control.
Not to mention that recently, because of the cover of some material escorts, the strength of the hundred cavalry is also being reduced.
"Out of town, to the farm!"
However, Li Shimin didn't say much, and still said with a blank face.
To know the truth, the gate of Chang'an City did not open so quickly, but Li Shimin was an exception.
Even if he didn't come forward, with Li Junxian's message, the gate of Chang'an was opened soon, of course, I didn't notice this scene, and today's city gate was opened earlier.
