Chapter 19: Weighing the Pros and Cons(1/2)

The piglets are done.

Li Er looked at this unique circle and the more he looked, the more he felt satisfied.

If this matter is done, wouldn’t the people be happy?

The price of meat can be reduced by half, but I, Li Er, don’t believe that this cannot be included in history books.

After thinking about it, Li Shimin suddenly said, "This circle is really good, so just put one in the imperial city!"

After Li Er said this, Du Ruhui, Fang Xuanling, and even Li Jing's eyes suddenly widened.

"Your Majesty, what did you say?"

"Pig stele? Imperial city?"

"Your Majesty, this matter is a matter of harm, so I may be ridiculed by Qingliu!"

All the three of them were talking about real issues, and it was impossible for the monarch to ignore it.

Of course, if pig farming can be really done, it's easy to say.

What kind of pure stream discussions will naturally be slapped in the face if things are effective.

But although this method of raising pigs is exquisite, it is the first time after all... Who dares to say that it will succeed?

So the three of them are instinctively opposed.

But what they didn't expect was that

Li Er frowned, showing an unhappy look.

"It's just decided. Then there will be a clear stream of logistics discussions, and when the pig is raised, it will naturally disappear. By the way!"

"Not only do you have to raise pigs, but you have to build a sheep pen for me in accordance with folk methods. At that time, the verdict will be made. I see who will discuss it!"

Li Erke knew very well who "Qingliu" were.

Nowadays, the troubled times have just passed. Whoever has the conditions to read and read is a "clear stream" who is not from a local prominent family, but mostly from a family of five surnames, Qiwang.

It's a damn thing that Qingliu can have. Anyway, the method of raising pigs will definitely work. Wouldn't it be nice to slap in the face directly then?

Seeing that Li Er insisted so much, the three of them could not keep persuading him.

Fang Xuanling and Li Jing looked at each other and felt incredible.

Why does it seem like Your Majesty is very sure...it can be done?

Then he looked at Du Ruhui at the same time.

Du Ruhui's expression was a bit strange.

"Keming, is there any article in it?"

Li Jing asked curiously.

Fang Xuanling thought of the original point.

"Keming, Your Majesty seems to trust the method of raising pigs. Who is the master behind this?"

When asked by the two of you, Du Ruhui only smiled.

"I don't know who it is for a while. But in short, he is an amazing talent!"

Fang Xuanling:...

Li Jing:...

Speechless, Lao Du, you clearly know the inside story.

However, since Du Ruhui trusted the method of raising pigs like His Majesty, the two had to listen to it.

If you don’t scold this or that today, you will scold that tomorrow, so let them scold you.

What if it really happens and is slapped in the face, it is always suspicious.

...

Things have been arranged.

Although the result is uncertain, Li Er, including Du Ruhui, is confident in Li Sheng's method.

Li Er is unconditional trust in his children.

Du Ruhui really believed in Li Sheng's method - the hunting knife, which impressed him too deeply.

Then, Li Er suddenly looked at Du Ruhui.

"By the way, Keming, how was the arrangement of wrought iron?"

"Your Majesty, I have moved the Ministry of Works to handle this matter. I have now convened twenty best blacksmiths near Chang'an to study the method of wrought iron. I am currently on standby in the Ministry of Works. But..."

"What's wrong, but what's the difficulty?"

"Uh, the Xuanjia Army currently has tens of thousands of people. I'm afraid the expenses will be a little..."

Li Ermiao understood what Du Ruhui meant.

Spend money!

How can you not spend money on military affairs?

But the money from the treasury was collected by the people.

To make military weapons, wouldn’t it be necessary to increase the burden on the people?

Du Ruhui's meaning is very clear.

If you spend too much money on this matter, you may not be able to do it evenly.

Li Er frowned, which was a little troublesome... But after thinking for a while, he shook his head.

"No, Keming, this matter still needs to be done."

"His Majesty?"

Du Ruhui felt a little incredible.

Li Er, however, even though he read all history books, he could not find a few model emperors of the same kind, and he has always been sympathetic to the people's livelihood.

He knew very well how much these tens of thousands of armored weapons cost, and the tax burden of the people of the Tang Dynasty increased by at least 10%.

This seems to be very small, but it is a heavy blow to some families with less labor.

Such things,

If Li Yuanji and Li Jiancheng knew about it, they would probably wave their hands and say that there was no need to worry too much, and they should believe that the people can work hard to persevere.

But Li Er could not treat the people so casually.

So he found it a little strange.

Although he also wants to do strong military equipment, he is also the Minister of War.

But if Li Er's country still plans to sit down steadily in this matter, it is actually unconventionable.

at this time,

Fang Xuanling, Li Jing.

As the front-line minister and general of the dynasty, he naturally noticed the conversation between the two.

"Your Majesty forgive me for your courage, what are you planning to do?"

"...I recently obtained a secret method of forging and decided to make a batch of new armored weapons. But...ah, the national treasury has only so much money, so it's still a little bit more to change the Xuanjia Army's arms."

Li Er was a little embarrassed, but as a good emperor, he did not hide it from the ministers if he had any problems.

When Fang Xuanling heard this, he looked at Du Ruhui.

Li Jing also listened, after all, he had to care about armor and weapons as a general.

So Du Ruhui explained Li Er’s plan in detail.

Replace all the soldiers of the Xuan Armor Army with new powerful armor and powerful swords!

Fang Xuanling, Li Jing heard it.

I was stunned again.

"All Xuanjia Army? The total number of Xuanjia Army is at least 50,000, all replaced? This... is the expense too much? Your Majesty, you should not be too hasty in this matter, why not just do it slowly?"

"Your Majesty." Li Jing also bowed very seriously. "The way of military strategists is to say that people are in a favorable position, and the other is to make strategy and strategy. Your Majesty was also a veteran general who led troops in the past, far superior to the weak ministers. Why do you rely on the advantages and disadvantages of the weapons? Let's talk about it..."

"The weapons and armor of the Xuanjia Army are already one of the few good products in the world, so why should we change them?"

Li Jing knew that Li Er was a very rational person, so he said something directly.

Li Er opened his mouth and wanted to tell them about the hunting knife...

But after thinking for a while, I'm afraid it's useless, I don't feel it at all.

So Li Er thought about it,

"This time the art of wrought iron is extraordinary. Pharmacist, you will use your sword for me."
