Chapter 238: Cao Zhengchun: Your Majesty, the gang leader sent a god and demon!(1/2)
On the Tai Chi Hall.
As soon as Li Si finished speaking, the ministers in the court looked at each other, and a trace of shock flashed through their expressions.
Tubo took the initiative to get along with the Tang Empire, which is equivalent to showing weakness.
If Li Si agrees, not only will he have an ally like Tubo, but he will also demonstrate the style of a great power.
It can be said that there is no harm in every way.
But the emperor actually refused?
However, no matter how many thoughts the ministers had in their hearts, they would not dare to say a word at this moment.
After all, the emperor sitting on the dragon throne in front of him is the most murderous in history.
Besides, the ministers do not think that refusing to remarry Tubo would hurt the Tang Empire.
If Li Si knew the ministers' thoughts, he would definitely smile disdainfully.
The reason why Li Si refused to marry was because Tubo would sooner or later become the territory of the Tang Dynasty.
In Li Si's opinion, Tubo was not qualified to marry the Tang Empire at all.
Just a country that is about to be destroyed.
"I obey the order."
The Minister of Rites bowed and said.
The Minister of Rites felt relieved when he got the emperor's intention.
Tubo inexplicably got married to the Tang Dynasty, and must have been planning something secretly.
Instead of guessing, it is better to directly reject the marriage of the party.
In this way, even if Tubo has all kinds of plans, it will be in vain in a flash.
Of course, the Minister of Rites didn't know that the Tubo king had already trembled, so how could he dare to have any plans for the Tang Empire?
The Tubo king only wants to get forgiveness from the Tang Empire, and has no other thoughts
"What else do you have to do with all my dear friends?"
Li Si sat upright on the dragon throne, and looked at the civil and military officials in the court.
"Report to Your Majesty."
The Minister of War walked out and bowed and said, "Now my Tang cavalry is starting to build, but"
When the Minister of War spoke of this, hesitated and wanted to speak but stopped.
"Just what?"
Li Si frowned slightly.
Li Si had agreed to the establishment of the Tang Dynasty cavalry before the morning court.
The Tang Empire needed a cavalry that was tempting to conquer the whole world.
Now, the Turkic grassland is in the hands of Li Si, and there is definitely no shortage of war horses.
"Report to Your Majesty."
The Minister of War said with a tough bullet: "The construction of cavalry costs a lot, and the Ministry of War cannot bear it."
According to the rules, the Ministry of Revenue will allocate some money to the other five departments every year as a daily expense between departments.
However, the construction of cavalry is a big deal.
You should know that although cavalry is said to be invincible in land warfare, the same is true for cultivating a cavalry far exceeds cultivating an infantry
The Minister of War had patted his chest and assured the emperor that there was no problem in building cavalry, but the Minister of War underestimated the consumption required to build cavalry.
Therefore, the Minister of War was in a dilemma and could only bite the bullet and ask His Majesty to lend a helping hand
"Can't bear it?"
Li Si pondered slightly and asked casually: "How much money is there?"
"Report to Your Majesty, there is still a million taels short of"
The Minister of War said carefully.
In fact, it is more than one million taels to train a cavalry, even if it is only in the early stages.
But the Minister of War was embarrassed to speak with His Majesty.
After all, the Minister of War had threatened to live up to His Majesty's entrusted
As a result, a few days later, I came to ask His Majesty for money
The Minister of War is also shameless.
"I will allocate two million taels to you."
"I will see results as soon as possible in the cavalry matter."
Li Si waved his hand and said.
As soon as Li Si finished speaking, the Minister of Revenue immediately became bitter.
The allocation of 2 million taels of silver as His Majesty said was of course to let him, the Minister of Revenue, get the money.
Although, now there is enough money in the national treasury.
But the Minister of Revenue has a strong sense of crisis.
"Minist obeys the order"
The Minister of War bowed with joy on his face.
If there were really two million taels of silver, the construction of cavalry would probably exceed the initial estimate of the Minister of War.
After all, the essence of cavalry is the accumulation of resources.
War horses, weapons, armor, etc. consume real money and silver.
If all these conditions are met, the Minister of War will be confident in training a cavalry that is no weaker than the Turkic cavalry!
However, although the Minister of War was very happy, he also knew that the reason why Your Majesty allocated 2 million taels of silver so happily was because Your Majesty wanted to see the result of his Minister of War.
If His Majesty can't see that he wants to disappoint His Majesty in the future, I'm afraid that it would not be a good thing to wait for the Minister of War.
The Minister of War returned to the ranks with great enthusiasm.
"Report to Your Majesty, I have something to report."
The chief assistant of the cabinet, Zhang Juzheng, came out and bowed.
Li Si's eyes turned and fell on Zhang Juzheng: "Tell me, my dear."
"According to Your Majesty's will, I will set up schools among all counties in the world to allow the people to enter the school."
"But, among the disciplines set by Your Majesty, there are several types of disciplines, and I can't find a suitable 'sir' to teach my children."
Li Si said casually, "What types of them?"
"Report to Your Majesty, astronomy, geography, algorithms"
When Li Si heard Zhang Juzheng's words, he fell into deep thought.
The school established by Li Si is certainly not the kind of Confucian scholar who only knows how to talk about war on paper.
Li Si cultivates all-round talents.
However, in the Tang Empire, there were very few people who were good at this aspect and could not satisfy the needs of the world's school.
"Transfer my will and solicit relevant categories of talents from the public. Those who meet the requirements will be invited to become the 'Mr.'"
Li Si tapped the dragon table gently with his right hand and said slowly.
In Li Si's memory, there are many people who have mastered this area.
These people have always been depressed and have not been able to display their talents.
Now, Li Si issued a notice to the people, which is equivalent to giving this group of people a chance.
As for the heavy money spent on inviting these people
Commercial reform, land reform, Chen Xiao came out, the Tang Empire was not short of silver and money at all
"I obey the order."
The chief minister of the cabinet, Zhang Juzheng, retired.
Next, some ministers stood up to discuss state affairs, but Li Si solved them one by one.
Several hours.
With Li Si's voice of "retreat the court", the morning court ended.
After Li Si walked out of Tai Chi Hall, all the civil and military officials dared to get up and leave Tai Chi Hall.
The Minister of War was steadily walking like a flying man, blocking directly in front of the Minister of Revenue, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty just said two million taels."
