Chapter 167 The war is finalized

"Hey, Lord Cui, this is what we say. Our Ministry of War lacks young people as talented as Qingquan, right? Lord Shangshu." Cheng Yaojin saw that he could not tell Cui Shao, so he quickly moved out the current Minister of War Li Jing.

"Yes, yes, Lord Cui, don't be angry. Where this Qingquan is gone is not our final decision. It's the emperor's will." Li Jing said with a smile. After all, Zhang Nan is Cui Shao's son-in-law, and Cui Shao wants Zhang Nan to go to the Ministry of Revenue, which Li Jing can understand. However, Li Jing is also very happy that Zhang Nan came to work with his subordinates. After all, Zhang Nan's talent is obvious to all, and Zhang Nan has also brought his son to the right path. He is still very grateful to Zhang Nan.

"Hey, Qingquan, tell me, if you go to the Ministry of War, did the emperor ask you to go?" Cui Shao heard Li Jing say this, and didn't have to say much, so he turned his fingers toward Zhang Nan.

"This... Is it a lie to hear the truth or to tell me?" Zhang Nan smiled awkwardly. After all, he personally refused Li Er not to go to the Ministry of Revenue.

"You are still talking to me, so it's the truth." Cui Shao said with a glaring eyes.

"The truth is that I don't want to go to the Ministry of Revenue." Zhang Nan had to tell the truth.

"You...you are so angry." Cui Shao said with a swaying sleeve.

"Don't be angry, father-in-law, there is a reason for the son-in-law to do this." Zhang Nan quickly defended.

"Okay, I'll come out of the imperial study room later, you have to explain it to me." Cui Shao saw that everyone had already walked to the imperial study room, so he had to let Zhang Nan go first and see what the big deal was with Li Er.

When Liu Bing saw that Li Er was calling, he said, "Sir, the emperor let everyone in." With Li Er's permission, everyone entered Li Er's imperial study room one by one.

As soon as he entered the imperial study, Zhang Nan saw Li Er lying on his desk and pointing at a map.

"Oh, everyone is here, come here, come here, come here, let's see how the marching route of attacking the Turks should be taken appropriately." Li Er said, looking at the map on the table.

After Li Er finished speaking, a group of military generals surrounded him and began to discuss the map, leaving a group of civil officials staring at each other.

"Your Majesty, why don't you implement the military system I proposed?" Zhang Nan asked strangely. Logically, these things should be left to the General Staff. Now that Li Er is still going to summon a group of ministers to start discussing, it is really incredible to Zhang Nan.

"Oh, you mean the General Staff Department, the General Political Department, etc." Li Er knew what Zhang Nan was talking about when he heard this.

"Yes, you don't need to consider these things personally at all. You just need to issue an order to the staff and ask them to propose a feasible marching route. At that time, the emperor only needs to choose the best ones." Zhang Nan said.

"Hey, don't you think I don't want to? I don't have so many people in my hands? You said that there are only so many generals in this court. The generals are scattered according to your military system. There are not enough people who can be used in each department to match. It's better for me to call everyone together to discuss it." Li Er also looked helpless. After all, there is no one in his hands, which is also a big problem.

Zhang Nan thought, this is really the case. Although Li Er was invading the world, if he really divided people according to the modern military system, Li Er's number of people was not enough to see. This also shows that although some advanced modern systems are very advanced, they must also consider the actual situation when it comes to the Tang Dynasty.

"The emperor said very much, but it's okay. After the first batch of military academy students graduated, the emperor's people will definitely be enough." Zhang Nan thought about it and said that after all, the purpose of establishing a military academy was to transport talents to the military power of the Tang Dynasty.

Li Er nodded, turned around and said to Cui Shao, "Cui Shao, calculate for me, how long can our treasury support us in fighting against the Turks." When Cui Shao heard that Li Er asked him to work, it was difficult for him to stand aside and pretend to be a mascot, so he immediately started his job and began to calculate how long the Tang Dynasty could bear the war now.

"Wuji, Keming, Xuanling, you can think about my name for attacking the Turks. As the saying goes, the master is famous, and I want to let Jie Li and Tuli die clearly." Li Er then issued an order to the three civil officials.

"Your Majesty, what am I doing?" Zhang Nan saw that everyone had something to do, so he had nothing to do, so he quickly reminded Li Er.

"You?" Li Er saw that Zhang Nan really didn't have anything to do. Why did he ask Zhang Nan to come to the imperial study at that time? Li Er himself forgot, but Li Er couldn't let Zhang Nan leave directly, so he had to say: "You just stand here and wait for me to make arrangements for you."

When Zhang Nan heard this, he had to stand aside and wait for Li Er’s arrangement. Who made Li Er the biggest in this room?

After a while, Zhang Nan was almost asleep when she waited. Cui Shao suddenly said, "Your Majesty, I have calculated it."

"Oh, let's talk about it quickly." As soon as he heard that Cui Shao had calculated it, he asked quickly.

"I have calculated that the current treasury is enough to support us in fighting the Turks for a winter. According to the current speed of the Ministry of Industry's military manufacturing, our treasury should be enough." Cui Shao bowed his hand and said.

"One winter? Well, I don't know if something is enough." Li Er pinched his chin and thought.

Zhang Nan was almost asleep, but when he heard Li Er say this, he immediately became energetic and said: "Your Majesty, believe me, time is enough. If the Turks go to war with us in winter, they will definitely not be able to live the New Year." Zhang Nan said with a smile.

"Oh, why are you so sure? Last time you advised me to send troops in winter, I said that there will be heavy snow in this grassland this season. What is the basis for Qingquan?" After Zhang Nan said this, Li Er remembered that last time Zhang Nan stopped him from sending troops. The generals who were pointing on the map turned their heads and looked at Zhang Nan in surprise when they heard Li Er say this.

"I have no basis, but I am sure." Zhang Nan patted his chest and promised. "I just know that due to years of war and natural disasters such as frost and drought, the people were exhausted and thin, and many sheep and horses were frozen to death and starved to death. And if we send troops, Xue Yantuo, Uighurs, Bayegu and the Luo tribes would also take the opportunity to resist." Zhang Nan smiled. In fact, Zhang Nan could not remember so many things at all, but just recalled the historical facts found in the system.

As soon as Zhang Nan said this, the people in the house widened their eyes, as if they didn't believe that Zhang Nan could say such things.
