Datang: Investment Overlord Xiang Yu at the beginning

An hour later, it was close to noon, inside the Chang’an Imperial Palace, in the side hall where Li Shimin usually reviewed the recitals.

Li Shimin, dressed in a golden robe, was sitting in front of a small table full of recitals.

The movements in front of him were piled up, however, he did not pay attention to the movements at this time, but was looking at an intelligence.

The content of the intelligence is exactly what Li Kei did today.

Li Shimin looked at the content of the intelligence, and his originally serious face showed a faint proud smile at this time.

“Congratulations to Your Majesty, the martial arts of the third prince has no one in the world, and he has invested in helping the daughter of the Li family to feed three hundred soldiers’ orphans, and he is also low-key and did not show anyone publicly, such a benevolent and excellent prince, it is really the luck of the Great Tang!”

Wang De, the great eunuch standing on the side, keenly captured Li Shimin’s proud smile and immediately slapped a horse.

“Hahaha, Hugh wants to evaluate the prince indiscriminately! Chew your tongue again and be careful to clean you up! ”

Li Shimin scolded with a smile.

“Slaves deserve to die, slaves deserve to die!”

Wang De also laughed and gave himself a few slaps like joking.

A relaxed atmosphere pervades the main hall.

“Your Majesty, Third Prince Li Gong begs to see you!”

A small eunuch came in and prayed.

“Let him in!”

Li Shimin narrowed his smile and ordered in a deep voice.

“Obey!”

The little eunuch led the way.

Not long after, Li Ke’s white robe fluttering, graceful figure, followed the little eunuch into the hall.

Li Shimin looked at his increasingly tall and handsome son, and a smile of appreciation flashed on his face.

“You’re here, I’m looking for you!”

Li Shimin’s domineering voice came from behind the recital.

“The sons and daughters also knew that the father and the emperor must have something for the sons and daughters to do, so they came specially here.”

Li Kei responded.

“Oh? Do you know what I’m looking for you? ”

Li Shimin’s voice brought three points of doubt, and seven points of interest.

“Your Majesty wants an army that is in the hands of the sons and daughters, which is not large, but whose combat effectiveness is comparable to the sixteenth guards of the central government.”

Li Kei smiled confidently and said in a deep voice.

“Ha, how can I see it?”

Li Shimin’s voice was a little unsalty or light, but most of his face was blocked by the recital, but he was relieved at this time.

When my son grows up, he can take the handle, and he can even discuss state affairs together.

This kind of good thing, as long as it is a father, will be happy to laugh in his dreams.

“The national treasury is empty, Youzhou is in turmoil, taxes can no longer be counted on, but also have to invest money in reconstruction, surrounded by strong enemies to feed, Chang’an is still in danger, the army can not always concentrate near Chang’an, in addition to Chang’an’s local 30,000 soldiers, the remaining 100,000 people under the command of the sixteen guards, must all be withdrawn, separate food, and there must be another standing elite army as a fist force to ensure the safety of Chang’an, this is why the father emperor made the child minister the king of Yan, but also made the child minister a hussar general to keep the child minister in Chang’an.”

Li Gong talked eloquently and analyzed Li Shimin’s intention for this award from the economic and military perspectives.

“Good, good! Those who know, Wu’er too! ”

Li Shimin slapped the table domineeringly, stood up, and looked at Li Ke’s well-defined face with bright eyes.

His strongest left and right arms before were still Changsun Wuji, but Li Ke’s comprehensive ability shown by this calculation was already far above Changsun Wuji!

How could this not surprise him?

“Father Emperor, please rest assured, you can order the Central Sixteen Guards to return to the garrison in batches one after another, and within a month, the sons and daughters will definitely be able to come up with a worthy army!”

Li replied solemnly.

“Well, north of the Wei River in the north of the city, a large area of vacant land is for you to build a camp, how many people do you think is appropriate?”

Li Shimin asked again.

“In the opinion of the children, it is enough to temporarily form 30,000 foot riders!”

Li Kei replied with a confident look.

“Well, with the courage of Ji’er, 30,000 people is indeed enough.”

Li Shimin remembered Li Ke’s divine courage on the battlefield, and his majestic face was also a look of trust at this time.

“Father Emperor, the 30,000 people of the sons and daughters can be used in an emergency, but it cannot solve the fundamental problem that the north is now short of food and cannot be stockpiled soldiers, and I also ask Father Emperor Mingjian!”

Li Kei said again.

“What can you do? If it is useful, I will reward you again! ”

Li Shimin smiled with satisfaction, and then said seriously.

“The south is transferring grain to the north, and there is no shortage of grain in the south now, especially in Jiangnan, and now that the autumn harvest has just passed, the children suggest that personnel be sent to the south as soon as possible to collect and purchase grain to give emergency to the north.”

Li Kei suggested.

“Although this plan is wonderful, distant water cannot save the near fire.”

After listening to Li Ke’s strategy, Li Shimin nodded, and then smiled bitterly again.

“Father is worried about transportation?”

Li Kei asked again.

“Exactly, although the imperial court can first concentrate grain in Qiantang and then transport it north through the canal, I am afraid that it will take half a year at the earliest to transport enough grain for the north.”

Li Shimin shook his head helplessly.

The transportation of the canal may be enough to supply Chang’an, but the grain and grass needed for the reconstruction of Youzhou in the north will not be enough.

Canals, always limited.
