Just as everyone was congratulating Li Jing on his good nephew, Prince Li Er walked out of the back hall, and saw everyone talking and laughing, puzzled. After asking others, they found out that Bai Fan was Li Jing's relative, and they also said that they would invite him when Li Jing was drinking!

When he walked to the middle and pressed the people talking and laughing, His Highness Li Er's expression became serious. The ministers knew that there was something big, so they stopped playing and waited for the prince's order!

"Everyone, the war is coming! A few days ago, Taoist Yuan calculated that after entering and leaving the autumn, there will be a war disaster in the north of our Tang Dynasty! I sent people to quickly go to inquire. Yesterday, there was a result. The Turkic Khan Jie Li was preparing for war and preparing to go south to rob!" Li Shimin said in a deep voice.

What? The civil and military officials did not expect that such a thing would happen?

Du Ruhui spoke, "Is it because the Turks knew that there was a change in our Tang Dynasty and deliberately took advantage of the situation?"

Li Shimin didn't say anything, just nodded slightly. It was obvious that he thought so too! Jie Li was a talented and wise Khan. He knew that he would choose the right time to take action. If he were himself, he would have taken action at this time!

"Isn't it just the Turk? Your Highness and I have 30,000 troops. Old Cheng will kill him and turn him over!" Cheng Fei Ying shouted carelessly.

"Why do you need 30,000? Give me 20,000 yuan, and you must bring Jie Li's head to Your Highness!" Yuchi Gong, who was standing beside him, also shouted.

Li Jing scolded, "Two fools, if the Turks were so easy to fight, wouldn't it be your turn to do it? I, the Tang Dynasty, would have destroyed the country long ago? How could he allow him to come to my north to fight the autumn wind every year?"

Facing this military leader except Li Shimin, Erhei of Datang did not dare to talk back at all, and sat back one by one.

Li Shimin nodded and said, "Pharmacist, I'm afraid the incident will be even more serious this time! The Turkic siege is not as good as before. According to the Malay report, the Turkic Khan is preparing to raise an army of 200,000 to invade our Tang Dynasty. It seems that it is coming for the foundation of our Tang Dynasty!"

Two hundred thousand?

The civil and military officials exclaimed in unison, what does it mean to have 200,000?

The Tang Dynasty's military system is still in line with the Former Sui Dynasty, using the system of government troops. A total of 12 guards in the country are set up, namely the left and right guards, the left and right guards, the left and right guards, the left and right guards, the left and right guards, the left and right guards, and the left and right Jinwu guards. Each army has one general and two generals. Each army has a maximum of 50,000 troops, at least 40,000, and it is still full!

The system of the government soldiers is actually responsible for farming during busy farming and training during slack farming. When encountering wars, the whole country recruits troops. Although the total force is hundreds of thousands, it is full in wartime. Usually, there are not many permanent troops at all. Moreover, the Tang Dynasty is vast in area, so there are a lot of troops to organize defense on all four borders. This time, the Tang Dynasty can actually dispatch troops to fight against the Turks in the north, and in fact, only 100,000 troops can be dispatched by the Tang Dynasty! This time, we must seize the recruitment.

A large army of 100,000, against 200,000? First of all, the number of people is inferior, and secondly, the military is inferior. The Turks are the tiger and wolf army that grew up on the back of 200,000 horses. It would be great if the Tang Dynasty could draw out 200,000 cavalry from 100,000!

When facing cavalry, infantry is naturally at a disadvantage and is restrained, and their forces and troops are at a disadvantage. Those present are veterans who have experienced battle formations or civil officials and counselors who have rolled over from the war. They are well aware of the pros and cons of both the enemy and us, and everyone seems worried for a moment!

They can understand, but some people are a little confused. Just 200,000 soldiers? Since the Tang Dynasty was ready to take precautions, eat them!

This person is Bai Fan. Although others are smart and eager to do so, after all, they have not had enough knowledge of military affairs shortly after they arrived in the Tang Dynasty. Moreover, he had known that the Northern Turks would attack, and he fantasized about defeating the opponent and making a big splash!

So a crisp and bright voice sounded, which attracted the gaze of civil and military officials, "Your Highness, aren't it just 200,000 barbarians! We have so many people in the Tang Dynasty, and the most important thing is the military strength. Since we already know that the other party is coming to invade, wouldn't it be enough to bring more people to catch them all?"

Li Jing was so black that he praised his nephew for being smart. He didn't expect that he was a newborn calf and was simply a rookie. Why did His Royal Highness let him come to discuss matters with such childish words?

He slapped Bai Fan on the head, and Li Jing scolded Bai Fan, but in fact he was helping him to help him solve the situation patiently. Bai Fan was stunned at that time. He felt that he had done all the hard work in March in vain?

Li Shimin did not care about Bai Fan's mistakes, but was slightly happy. This kid didn't know about it. It seemed that he was not so evil. He was still a mortal!

"Everyone, now it is not just a disadvantage of insufficient troops. In order to prepare for the war, Gu specially sent someone to count the national treasury, and finally came up with a very bad result. The national treasury has no food in stock and there is not much money left. It can reach a maximum of 50,000 jin! Therefore, this time, neither military power nor logistics are enough to support our war!"

What?

What does it mean to make things worse? This means to make things worse!

Bai Fan was speechless. The Tang Dynasty treasury only has 50,000 guan? This style is wrong! When I first bought myself, the Qin Palace alone took out 15,000 guan! Why is this huge country so rich now?

How could he know that Princess Changsun was just trying to calculate Yuan Tiangang, and the Qin Palace didn't have much money. He said that he had given tens of thousands of yuan to pray for blessings and wishes by worshiping the gods was just an imaginary number. If he could give one thousand yuan, it would be more than the standard. In the end, Bai Fan forced him to respond with words and said that he would give up tens of thousands of yuan. This was half the savings of the Qin Palace!

But it is worth spending on Yuan Tiangang, because Yuan Tiangang is the leader of Taoism, holding the Taoist sect in his hand and receiving his support. The Taoist sect in the world is the help of the King of Qin. This power is enough to fight against the current five surnames and seven families. In the future, even if the King of Qin rises up and takes the Dao Sect to control the public opinion in the world, he can't buy it no matter how much money he wants! Therefore, Bai Fan was really eaten by Changsun, who is talented in the inner minister, and no matter how he counts, he will not lose money!

"No, your highness, you easily pulled 15,000 yuan to Laojunguan! Why is the national treasury only 50,000 yuan now? Where did the money go?"

Fang Xuanling looked at the innocent Bai Fan and smiled, "I spent almost half of the Qin Palace's family business to you. Do you think the Qin King is rich like a mountain? You are a mere child. If it weren't for your senior brother, Old Yuan, who could have a reputation of 15,000?"

Bai Fan retorted, "But, isn't my ten thousand guan used to build a mansion? It costs ten thousand guan to build any house, and the treasury can be built even in the palace. What's the situation?"

Everyone laughed and Du Ruhui spoke, "You boy still don't know? Your house is called a mansion? In my eyes, it's just a farmhouse, and it's still 10,000 guan. It doesn't cost 100 guan. The cheapest labor of building a house is used by the civil servants. The craftsmen will be the imperial appraisal of the sage. The materials are made locally, and the mountains are close to them, so where can they spend money?

You don't think you really built a mansion for you, do you?"

Then, that's wrong. So I have 9,900 guan left? Where did I go? It's not buried underground in my house! Bai Fan stared at Fang Xuanling, wanting him to give an explanation!

Fang Xuanling's face turned red. It was indeed wrong to hide this from Bai Fan. He said embarrassedly, "You kid, can you be greedy for your money? The princess said before that Bai Fan is too young and has no one to manage the family. She is afraid of losing such a huge asset. She will keep it for you for the time being. Now the money is in the Qin Palace!"

I……

Old man Fang, you cheat me...

Bai Fan felt very hatred! Are you sure you were fooling me, a child? Didn’t you buy Yuan Tiangang after only five thousand guan? It has something to do with me? Ten thousand guan has gone around and returned to the Qin Palace. I don’t know if there is still a fraction of the money left now. I can’t even imagine that I don’t even dare to imagine…
