Chapter 267 Military Provisions
After finally dismissing the princes, Princess Jinyang and others, Li Fu hurried back to his study.

Checking in from the system today, he got a good thing, it was the character card of Three Treasures Eunuch Zheng He!
Li Fu knew the deeds of Zheng He's voyages to the West very well. Of course he knew that this was China's first real naval commander, so it would be perfect to use him as his current naval chief.

Li Fu had always been worried that Shen Lian was not good at water warfare and would abolish his navy belt. Now that Zheng He was here, Li Fu's worries were no longer a problem.

As a result, Zheng He had just been summoned and arranged for him to go to Penglai Shipyard to take over the navy. Here, Cao Shaoqin came to report, and Li Junxian came to invite Li Fu into the palace.

[Why did you leave and come again? What's the matter?Can't we stop for a while? 】

Li Fu was reluctant in every possible way, he didn't understand that Li Shimin didn't speak in the East Palace just now, and now he insisted on calling himself into the palace to talk, and he didn't know what intentions he had!

"Commander Li, what's the matter with Father, do you have to enter the palace now?"

"His Royal Highness!" Li Junxian was incomparably submissive in front of Li Fu. "It's about military rations. It's a big matter. Please enter the palace quickly. His Majesty, Duke Lu and other ministers are waiting!"

"Lu Guogong is here? Who else?" Li Fu asked calmly, without moving his feet.

"The son-in-law Chai Shao, Duke Kui Liu Hongji, and Duke Bao Duan Zhixuan are all here." Li Junxian was a little anxious.

As soon as Li Fu heard this, he suddenly understood that the matter of military rations was of great importance. Before that, it had been managed by the Duke of Wei, Li Jing. Now that Li Jing was getting older, of course he couldn't be in charge of everything.

So the Prince Consort, Chai Shao, Duke of Qiao, Liu Hongji, Duke of Kui, and Duan Zhixuan, Duke of Bao, all probably want to snatch this lucrative job.

Li Fu is Tiance Admiral, and in terms of ranking in the military, no one can compare to it except Li Jing. Adding the title of Prince, of course, Li Fu should go to discuss this kind of matter.

However, based on Li Fu's understanding of the matter, he was afraid that apart from endless debates, there would be no result in the end.

Sure enough, when Li Fu arrived at the door of the imperial study, he heard the quarrel in the main hall already turned upside down, and Cheng Yaojin and Xue Wanche, Duke of Wu'an County, could be heard arguing from a long distance away.

These two are fierce generals on the battlefield, one voice is louder than the other, and the entire imperial study room is filled with their yelling.

When Li Fu went in, he saw Xue Wanche and Cheng Yaojin were both unconvinced, blowing their beards and staring at Li Shimin's dragon case, while the son-in-law Chai Shao, Duke Kui Liu Hongji and Duke Bao Duan Zhixuan watched quietly from the sidelines. Obviously waiting to reap the benefits of the fisherman.

Seeing Li Fu coming in, Li Shimin's eyes flashed with joy, he slapped the dragon case suddenly, and shouted: "Shut up, all of you, what are you talking about?"

"What I want now is that you can come up with a plan for me. If the army goes deep into the grassland, how to solve the logistics supply and how to maintain the army's rations deep in the grassland, this is the key. What are you talking about here? of!"

"What I want is the result. Who can provide me with a group of military rations that can be carried with me, small in size but can satisfy my hunger, then I will leave it to him to handle the logistics in the army!"

As soon as Li Shimin said this, Xue Wanche and Cheng Yaojin were dumbfounded, and Chai Shao, Liu Hongji and others also frowned slightly.

The conditions of His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty are really harsh. Such military rations are really unheard of. Is this something in the world?Just kidding!
All present are veteran generals who have led troops on the battlefield for more than ten years, and they are all well-informed generals, but they have never heard of the military rations that Li Shimin said, so how could they say it?

Liu Hongji stepped forward first, cupped his hands at Li Shimin, and said, "Your Majesty, I understand your concerns, but I'm afraid no one can do the military rations you mentioned!"

Seeing that someone took the lead, Cheng Yaojin yelled immediately, "That's right, Your Majesty, isn't it difficult for you to force others? How can we do this? Why don't you change the topic!"

When Cheng Yaojin spoke, Li Fu had silently walked to the most inconspicuous position behind the crowd.

He just heard what Li Shimin said, and he was actually surprised in his heart, because he had seen the military rations Li Shimin described before!

[Don't tell me, Li Er has something, he can think of the compressed biscuits only in later generations at this time! 】

[It seems that this thing was created by our army. On the Korean battlefield, the first generation of instant noodles was specially made for it! 】

[Thus, the compressed dry food that was all the rage in our army was born. This kind of food is rich in nutrition, easy to carry, and can quickly satisfy hunger. Apart from bad taste, it has almost no shortcomings. I really didn't expect that Li Er at this time would actually Already thought of it! 】

Li Fu's heartfelt voice was heard in Li Shimin's ears, and the eyes of the Emperor Datang stared round.

The reason why he just said that such military rations were really bothered by Xue Wanche and Cheng Yaojin, so he made it up casually, but he didn't expect that the military rations that even he thought were harsh conditions actually existed?
Hearing what the prince said, he should be able to make it. The name is compressed biscuit!
However, if it is true that the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty carried this kind of military rations with them, no matter how fast or far they ran on the grassland, the Tang army could run thousands of miles without any logistical concerns. Will be no problem!
In this way, the dream of unifying the grassland and never having future troubles will come true!
Thinking of this, Li Shimin couldn't help becoming excited, trembling all over, staring straight at Li Fu, and almost stood up.

"Your Majesty, this is..." Fang Xuanling, who first noticed Li Shimin's strangeness, couldn't help but lose his voice.

"Uh..." Li Shimin, who reacted, coughed a few times in embarrassment, and then glanced coldly at Xue Wanche and Cheng Yaojin, "Since none of you can think of it, let's leave it at that, and I will personally supervise the military rations! "

Now that Li Shimin has roughly understood the method of making compressed biscuits from Li Fu's voice, he naturally doesn't need the courtiers in front of him.

When the results of their quarrel come out, the day lily may be cold.

"Your Majesty, you have so much to do every day, how can you worry about some trivial matters, let me handle it with my humble minister."

"Yes, Your Majesty, you have already said that the matter of preparing the general's rations should be entrusted to my jurisdiction. If I wait to discuss it carefully, don't carry this burden yourself. How embarrassing it is for us!"

Xue Wanche and Cheng Yaojin were impatient when they heard Li Shimin say that they wanted to take charge of the military rations themselves.

They were arguing just now, but it was just for Li Shimin to see, in fact, it was just for show, but it turned out that it turned into the situation in front of them.
