Several days have passed, not to mention Cheng Biting Jin, even Li Daozong can't find the Liumu people there.

Seven days later, the Taiji Hall of Chang'an City.

Cheng Yanjin sat in the middle of the hall at the court meeting with tears in his eyes, crying with snot and crying, crying sadly.

Emperor Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty personally sat in front of Cheng Yanjin: "Zhijie is so sad. ”

As soon as Cheng Yanjin heard Li Shimin's question, he immediately took out a messy thick stack of pieces of paper from his arms and stuffed it to Li Shimin: "Sage, Lao Cheng is incompetent, Lao Cheng really can't complete what the sage explains." Lao Cheng has spoken hard these days, but he still can't even match the equipment of a soldier and horses. ”

Li Shimin took the stack of papers, flipped through a few pages, and then handed it to Cui Junsu and Du Ruhui to read.

After Cui Junsu and Du Ruhui looked through it, they both sighed at the same time.

A high-grade iron knife costs 1,750 yuan, which can be said to be very fair, and the iron knife produced in Huayuan is definitely several times better than that on the market in Chang'an.

and a complete set of light infantry cuirasses and other items, only 3,600 yuan.

And there is a persuasion on the top, the iron knife sold in Chang'an City cuts the front of this breastplate, and if it fails to break ten knives before the armor is damaged and cannot be used, the money will be refunded twice.

Bows, steel bows. The arrows are all stainless steel arrowheads.

Then there are baggage carts, military shoes, medical kits, and so on, everything you need for an expeditionary force. There are many things that Cui Junsu has seen for the first time, but after reading the explanation, Cui Junsu, a civil servant, knows that this is a must-have product in the army.

The combat power of such an army is at least five times or even ten times that of the original simple equipment of government soldiers.

At present, the elite border troops and guards can easily reach three times the combat power.

"Sage, the price given by Huayuan County...... It's a conscience price. All of these equipment are useful, and the total price of an army is only less than twice that of the original elite border army, not to mention the medicine and equipment of the military medical corps, which is indeed a conscience price. "Cui Junsu, as the head of the household, he is qualified to say so.

Du Ruhui also echoed on the side: "Sage, this price is fair, very fair." ”

Li Shimin sneered in his heart, he can be said to be one of the few people in Datang who knows the cost of various materials in Huayuan. Except for Li Bi, few people in Huayuan County knew the cost of all these things. Or you can know a few, but you can't know everything.

Take the iron knife as an example, Li Shimin knows that it is indeed better than what is sold in Chang'an City.

But the cost, a knife is not a scabbard, with an ordinary wooden handle, it is only a cost of one hundred and forty yuan. This cost also includes the cost of materials, the cost of machine consumption, the cost of labor, and the cost of short-distance transportation.

Li Shimin opened his mouth and asked: "According to the two secretaries, how much is the benefit?" ”

"Very little, very little benefit." Cui Junsu gave an answer.

"Sage ......" Cheng Yanjin hugged Li Shimin's thigh and began to cry again: "No armament, the Northern Expedition is hard." Ask the sage to personally order the transfer of 3,000 elites from the willow horse training camp to Lao Cheng, Lao Cheng is bitter, Lao Cheng has shed blood for the Tang Dynasty, Lao Cheng and Shubao have followed the saint to fight the hardest battle, and the saint can't watch Lao Cheng take the old and weak soldiers to the battlefield. ”

Li Shimin will be thinking about why Liu Mu would put his profits so big.

If you want to say that willow wood wants gold or silver, you just need to open it.

What is willow to make?

Li Shimin was in a daze, Cheng Biting Jin didn't cry anymore, after quietly glancing at Li Shimin, he immediately changed the plan after two turns, ran out, and then rushed back with a few big boxes on his shoulder.

Seeing that Li Shimin was about to return to the throne, Cheng bit Jin and hugged Li Shimin's leg with a vicious tiger pounce.

"Sage, with these equipment, you can give Lao Cheng half of the army, plus the 2,900 people in the Qingheyu training camp, Lao Cheng will dare to single-handedly challenge Gaochang Wangcheng."

Li Shimin finally spoke: "What about the opinion of the household department? ”

"Gao Chang must go down, and he must take it with the power of thunder. The minister didn't know what was special about those soldiers in the Qinghe training camp, but since General Cheng needed it, the household department was willing to help. ”

Cui Junsu expressed his attitude, and then whispered a few words to Du Ruhui before stepping forward to Li Shimin's side: "Sage, there were hundreds of nearly a thousand silver balls left in the treasury of the former Sui Dynasty, and one of them weighed almost 100 catties. The minister's opinion was to give these to the four northern counties, and the excess part should be exchanged for refined silver coins and returned to the household department. ”

Li Shimin wants to say, do you think it is possible to bring it back?

However, Li Shimin thought of Iwami Yinshan, and said immediately: "This matter, the household department will work hard." The accounts of the general department and the household department in the first half of the year, as well as the accounts of the four northern counties, were liquidated. Since Cheng Zhijie is asking for troops, then I am the master with one army, two armies in the middle, and two armies in the middle. ”

"Sage, Qingheyu Training Camp." Cheng Yanjin immediately opened the number.

"Zhijie, you want the soldiers of the Qingheyu training camp is no problem, next year you replace Jingde as the general of Shence Wei for two years."

"Don't do it, Uncle Bao will be back soon, it's better to keep him." As soon as Cheng Yanjin heard about next year, he was immediately unwilling, within two years, Datang would definitely use troops against the Turks, and he was unwilling to miss such a big battle.

Li Shimin didn't give Cheng Yanjin a good face: "You just say, willing or unwilling." ”

"Is it okay for a year?" Cheng Biting Jin's face is definitely the thickest in Datang, and he was in tears just now, but this will be a flattering smile.

Li Shimin kicked Cheng Biting Jin: "For two years, you are allowed to adjust the eight regiments of the Qingheyu training camp, and the auxiliary soldiers will be prepared by themselves." ”

Cheng Biting Jin's eyes turned quickly, he was thinking about countermeasures, because it was impossible for ordinary auxiliaries to be auxiliaries for Shen Cewei, and if they didn't work, they would drag them back.

didn't wait for Cheng Yanjin to think of a countermeasure, Li Shimin had already announced his retirement from the dynasty.

After everyone in the Taiji Hall left, only Cheng Yanjin was still standing there in a daze, originally his plan was to deceive Liu Mu 3,000 people, then 1,05 regular soldiers, 1,050 auxiliary soldiers, and find 3,000 auxiliary soldiers himself, so that he could give full play to his maximum combat power, because the auxiliary soldiers of the Qingheyu training camp were not weak.

Now the plans are disrupted.

Sixteen hundred, this manpower must be powerful for a skirmish.

The battle of Gaochang Wangcheng, this fight is to face the 100,000 enemy troops, and this manpower will not play a big role.

Looking for Wei Chigong, it is estimated that he will be scolded back.

It's a pity that Qin Qiong is not here, otherwise there are still people who can help him talk about it. This willow wood is obviously hiding, unwilling to borrow people, and unwilling to make the equipment cheaper.

Troublesome, quite troublesome.

Outside the Taiji Hall, there were ministers talking in a low voice.

Someone asked his colleague in a low voice: "You say, the soldiers in this Qingheyu training camp are very powerful?" ”8)
