Chapter 621 Analysis of Concubine Chen

"But I believe that the most important issue is that when recruiting troops, Tang's taxes must be collected, so that they can be convinced."

"If the tax is collected and these people are sent back to their hometowns, then they will be alienated, and then they will not be allowed to continue to serve."

Li Fu pondered for a moment, then continued.

Li Er was silent when he heard the words, he didn't express his position immediately, but fell into deep thinking.

He also understands that the problems mentioned by Li Fu do exist.

Over the years, Li Fu has been secretly manipulating Datang's economic lifeline, making Datang's financial situation very good.

However, if Datang collects taxes and does not recruit these soldiers into Datang, then these soldiers will easily become resentful and rebel, which may cause great trouble to the court.

Li Fu's words made Li Er fall into contemplation, and a thought suddenly flashed in his mind.

This idea came to Li Er suddenly last night, and this idea gave Li Er a decision.

"In this case, then I promise you!" Li Er figured out the joints, then nodded, and said to Li Fu.

"Father! My son has one more request!"

When Li Fu heard this, his eyes lit up suddenly, and he hurriedly knelt down and said to Li Er.

"Oh? You still have a request?" Li Er was a little surprised when he heard this, and asked immediately.

"Father, what will happen to these soldiers and their families after the taxes are collected?"

Prince Li Fu asked worriedly.

"This..." Hearing what the prince said, Li Er hesitated.

This is indeed a problem, these soldiers were all drawn from other places by him, Li Fu, and these soldiers were all from poor backgrounds, and their families were also from poor families.

If they were really allowed to enter the army, they would probably be desperate because there was no one to take care of them at home.

"Then...then...what do you think should be done!" Li Er said with some embarrassment, and this matter made him also feel embarrassed.

"I believe that these family members can be resettled in the farms in the capital first. They can plow the fields, grow vegetables, raise chickens and ducks, and raise cattle and sheep in the farms. They can also support themselves."

"In this way, they don't have to worry about the life of their family members. In addition, I think that they should be given a place to live and live here, so as not to starve to death or freeze to death."

Li Fu continued.

"Well, you are right, but I need to carefully consider this matter, and I have to think about it carefully."

"Well, go back and rest first! I will discuss this with you at night."

Li Er pondered for a moment, then gave instructions to Prince Li Fu.

"My son, leave!" Prince Li Fu said respectfully, and then withdrew.

After Li Fu left, His Majesty the Emperor fell into deep thought.

Li Fu's proposal is very reasonable.

So many soldiers are trained in their own army. After these soldiers adapt to the battle, these soldiers will be released back to their hometowns. The families of these soldiers can live without worry.

But doing so would cause too much harm to those people, and some of the things Li Fu said were true, which made Li Er feel very embarrassed.

After Li Fu left, His Majesty the Emperor began to think.

"emperor."

At this moment, a soft cry sounded behind Li Er.

Li Er turned around and saw that it was his imperial concubine, Concubine Chen.

"Aifei, why are you here?" Seeing his wife, Li Er smiled and asked softly.

"Your Majesty, the concubine saw a man who looked very much like an old friend today, so the concubine followed up and found that he looked very similar to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Concubine Chen looked at Li Er excitedly, and said to Li Er.

"Who are you talking about? Tell me quickly." Li Er immediately asked after hearing the words.

"If you go back to the emperor, the person I just saw is General Yang Yang who saved my life in the northwest frontier."

Concubine Chen immediately said to Li Er.

"Oh! So it's him!"

Li Er suddenly realized.It turned out that the person he was referring to turned out to be Yang Yang, which shocked him a little.

He already knew Yang Yang's name.

This person is a mysterious figure. Almost no one in the Tang Dynasty knows his name, and even the army of the Tang Dynasty knows the existence of Yang Yang.

Now, Li Er couldn't help making him interested.

"My concubine, do you know where Yang Yang is now? Tell me quickly!" Li Er said impatiently to Concubine Chen.

"Your Majesty, he can't tell you yet because of his special status. If he speaks out about it, it may be dangerous!"

Concubine Chen shook her head, then said to Li Er.

"What! He is so mysterious?! Do you know his exact location, Concubine?" Li Er was taken aback when he heard this, and then asked in horror.

Yang Yang is so mysterious, which is too surprising.

"Your Majesty, do you still remember the catastrophe that happened three years ago?"

"Back then, the Tang Dynasty was attacked by a Turkic army, and the entire Tang army suffered heavy losses. The leader of the Turkic army was also a man with high martial arts skills, and this man was Yang Yang."

Concubine Chen said to Li Er in a deep voice.

"You mean, the Turkic invasion of Datang this time has something to do with him?!" Li Er's face immediately changed when he heard this, and his face turned livid.

"Well! The concubine thinks that the cause of this catastrophe is the Turkic people! And the Turkic people's goal this time is not only the Tang Dynasty, but their goal is also the Tang Dynasty!"

Concubine Chen nodded and said in a deep voice.

"What are you talking about?! The Turks plan to capture the Tang Dynasty?! This... this..."

Li Er couldn't help feeling his scalp tingle when he heard this, this incident really surprised him.

"Your Majesty, my concubine suspects that the cause of all this is because the Turks broke the Eastern Star Empire three years ago."

"Although the Eastern Star Empire has not been greatly affected, it has greatly increased the prestige of the Turkic people. Now the whole world knows that the Turkic people are very powerful."

"These people are also trying to seize the territory of the Tang Dynasty. Moreover, during the catastrophe three years ago, the royal family and court of the Tang Dynasty suffered wild revenge from the Turkic people."

Concubine Chen said to Li Er with a serious face.

"Hmph! How dare they! I will never spare them! I will definitely not sit idly by, they dare to provoke Datang, this is simply courting death!"

Li Er snorted coldly when he heard the words, his face was as gloomy as water.

Datang has now grown stronger, and there are countless powerful people in the country. The strength of Datang is far from what the Turks can match.

Now the Turkic people dare to play Datang's idea, isn't this looking for death!
