Datang: Let you supervise the country and become an emperor through the ages

Chapter 334 I still have a way

[Actually, Li Er should be very clear that the rusted ordnance in the armory will definitely affect the combat effectiveness if it is really used! 】

[But you know it clearly, but you don't want to throw it away. It's a typical small farmer's psychology. If something happens, the loss outweighs the gain. 】

[It's better to sell these ordnance directly to the neighboring small countries after simple processing, isn't it good to exchange money? 】

[Of course it cannot be sold to Western Turks and Tubo, the great enemies of the Tang Dynasty in the future. 】

[However, small countries like Silla and Nanzhao can still be sold, because those small countries are too weak, even the current Xiangyong of Datang can easily destroy them, and there is nothing to worry about. 】

Hearing this, Li Shimin's eyes lit up, this is a good way, and it can kill two birds with one stone, why didn't he think of it!

Selling those rusted ordnance to those small countries that Li Fu mentioned is really promising.

[Through this kind of private black-box trade, gold, silver, treasures, cattle, sheep, horses, and even people are exchanged from those small countries! 】

[The benefits of population, cattle, sheep and horses, needless to say, Li Erda can use the wealth exchanged for military equipment for special purposes, upgrade the military equipment, and directly unify it into standard weapons. 】

【In this way, it can be regarded as a seamless connection, and at the same time, there will be a place to place my firearm when I get it out. 】

Li Shimin's eyes were suddenly filled with enthusiasm. To be honest, when he heard about this kind of trade in the past, he sneered at it.

But now that I think about it carefully, the glory of the Celestial Empire is based on absolute strength, and nothing that is beneficial to the development of Datang's strength is unworthy.

Li Fu talked about exchanging armaments for people, cattle, sheep, horses, gold, silver and treasures. These are the resources that Datang urgently needs at present.

The population can be used as a labor force to contribute to the infrastructure of the Tang Dynasty, not to mention the importance of horses, cattle and sheep. With money, one can naturally do more things. With so many benefits, why not excite Li Shimin!
Of course, Li Shimin was most concerned about the firearms that Li Fu had been talking about. After all, Li Shimin had seen the power of firearms from Li Fu's voice, so he knew very well what it would mean to Datang once the firearms were successfully developed.

The Tang Dynasty in the future will definitely be equipped with the firearms Li Fu mentioned in large quantities. By then, the Tang army will be truly invincible!

[I'm afraid Li Er doesn't know that selling arms can arouse conflicts between those small countries. 】

[At that time, there is no need to transfer, just deliberately sell this, and don't sell any, and you can sit back and watch the tigers fight! 】

[Especially in the southwest, those troublesome guys like Tubo, Nanzhao and Dangxiang have to clean up from now on! 】

【Needless to mention Tubo, Songtsan Gampo and Ludongzan are both wolfish ambitions. Although they have been taught a lesson before, they will not be able to hold back if they are honest for a few years at most, so they must plan ahead. 】

[Nanzhao and Dangxiang, two small countries, are also often bullied by Tubo, and have been swaying between Tang and Tubo. It is better to sell them weapons once and for all to enhance their military capabilities. 】

【Then Datang secretly fueled the flames and let Tubo fight with them. Isn't it good for us to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight! 】

Following Li Fu's heartfelt voice, it fell into Li Shimin's mind, Li Shimin's heart beat violently, and he almost clapped his hands and applauded.

Originally, Li Shimin only thought of some way to quickly dispose of the rusted ordnance, and he even thought of going back to the furnace and rebuilding it to avoid waste.

But after Li Fu's reminder, Li Shimin first knew how to improve the existing military system, and then knew how to use these weapons to the greatest extent to create benefits for Datang.

Not only that, he also knew that while creating benefits for Datang, he was able to cause Datang to launch a secret war against Tubo, which caused internal friction between Tubo and the surrounding small countries, and Datang reaped benefits from it.

Li Fu analyzed such a simple matter, but it was extended to countless conspiracies beneficial to Datang. How could this not make Li Shimin excited and excited.

After waiting for a while, Li Shimin was sure that Li Fu had finished speaking, so he restrained his excitement, and waved his hand at Li Fu in a deep voice, "Prince, you will have to work hard on the matter with the Ministry of Industry. Come on, I still have things to deal with!"

It's useless for Li Fu to stay any longer, otherwise Li Shimin won't be able to talk to Hou Junji properly in the future!
Li Fu had been longing to leave for a long time. Hearing Li Shimin's initiative, he immediately resigned after a symbolic surrender, and Li Daliang also hurried out.

After Li Fu and Li Daliang left the imperial study, Li Shimin turned to Hou Junji, and said in a deep voice: "Junji, I have considered carefully and think that the general direction of the military system is still in line with the current situation of the Tang Dynasty, but in some respects, we need to Make improvements.”

"I think that there is a certain loophole in the government soldier recruitment mechanism. To fill this loophole, we should add a limited-time compulsory soldier system on the basis of the government soldier system!"

"Limited compulsory military system?" Hou Junji was dumbfounded, and then Li Shimin clasped his hands behind his back and explained carefully to Hou Junji.

Hou Junji didn't think anything at first, thinking it was the product of Li Shimin's brainstorming.

As a result, after he finished listening, his eyes suddenly enlarged, and he looked at Li Shimin's eyes, full of disbelief.

Is this still the Li Shimin he knew?When did Li Shimin become so wise and resourceful?

Seeing the shocked light in Hou Junji's eyes, Li Shimin enjoyed it very much, but on the surface he pretended to be disapproving and asked, "Junji, what do you think of this compulsory military system for a limited time?"

"Your Majesty is wise, this strategy is feasible and excellent, I bow to you!" Hou Junji directly bowed to the ground, rainbow farts continued.

"Your Majesty's strategy will not only get rid of all the rusted ordnance in the arsenal, but also improve our Tang's recruitment system, so that when the enemy's country is busy with farming, there will be no shortage of available soldiers!"

"Well, I'm just throwing bricks to attract jade. The specific details, the Ministry of War needs to carefully consider what I said, come up with a charter, and discuss it with civil and military officials when it comes to court." Li Shimin waved his hand, very satisfied Hou Junji Attitude.

"I obey the order!" Hou Junji quickly prostrated himself again: "After the minister goes down, he will immediately gather people to draw up a plan, and submit it to His Majesty and the Minister for review. After the resolution of the court meeting is correct, the minister will immediately implement it!"

"Don't be in a hurry to implement the promotion immediately, but step by step. You can try it in Guanzhong first, and after the trial is successful, start the national promotion." Li Shimin looked like he was planning strategies.

"The rusted ordnance in the armory was not created overnight. After all, the reform of the military system takes time. I just thought about it, but there is another way. I can try it. If the Ministry of War does a good job, it will not only be able to dispose of the rusted ordnance. You can also make meritorious service to the country!”

"Huh?" Hou Junji was stunned immediately...
