Datang: My Peerless Talent Has Been Exposed

What Zhang Nuo did was naturally right!

No matter how good the relationship between him and Li Shimin is, no matter how close they are, the relationship between the two is still the relationship between the monarch and his ministers.

This point cannot be changed, after all, this era is the era when the imperial power surpassed the sky!

We in the Central Plains don’t pay attention to such things as imperial power and divine grant, let alone a religious leader who rides on the emperor’s neck to shit and asks the emperor to salute him.

If such a person really came out, those generals would probably rush over and beat him to death!

After all, if they saluted the emperor, and the emperor saluted this person, wouldn't they be a generation behind, so why don't such evildoers be beaten to death and saved for the New Year!

Having said that, it seems that he has not been fooled. Xiao Yan, the Emperor Wu of the Southern Liang who believed in Buddhism, was starved to death. As for the pursuit of longevity, Taoist priests poisoned him to death with various pills.

In history, Li Shimin also fell into such a vicious circle. Perhaps all successful emperors would do this, thinking that if they lived forever, their empire would prosper forever.

Zhang Nuo doesn't know what Li Shimin would do in history, but at least the current Li Shimin will not believe those Taoist priests who dare to put heavy metal in their mouths.

And with Zhang Nuo here, wouldn't he enjoy the authentic Xuanmen health-preserving exercises?

I didn't see that even Li Yuan has black hair now, and he is in such good spirits that he walks around every day. How could Li Shimin not know the changes in his body?

The stronger and healthier feeling that is obviously different from the previous one can be felt by individuals.

But Zhang Nuo also made it clear to them that this is the health-preserving method of exercising the body. There is no hope for immortality. He himself can't do it at the moment, but it is still possible to live a long life, as long as he keeps exercising. up.

Li Yuan is very open about this. He is living a very comfortable life now. Ever since he knew about the telegraph room, he would come here to send a telegram to Zhang Nuo from time to time, and Zhang Nuo also sent a telegram to greet him from time to time. Next, it's time to greet your elders.

Back to Li Shimin, after reading the report with Zhang Nuo in his arms, he sat there and sighed, without saying a word, just looked outside and then turned his head to look at the report, sighed, then looked outside and then turned his head. Read the report!

In the end, Li Shimin didn't sleep all night, and sat in the main hall of Ganlu Hall and read Zhang Nuo's report again.

Although Li Shimin doesn't have as much knowledge of future generations as Zhang Nuo, let alone the broad vision obtained from Zhang Nuo's Internet, but as a monarch and an emperor, he stands at a height that ordinary people can't touch.

When he regards the whole world as a chessboard, then he has to consider whether he will kill the opponent with this move or dig a hole for himself.

After thinking about it, Li Shimin always felt that he couldn't figure it out, so he simply followed Zhang Nuo's usual habit, spread out a piece of paper, picked up a pen and began to draw on it.

Navy Recruiting, Career Soldiers, Navy Expenses, Navy Earnings...

These are the key points mentioned in Zhang Nuo's report, but Li Shimin always felt that if these things were discussed in the court, they might be rejected.

After all, although the national treasury is a little more substantial now, there are more than one or two places in the territory of the Tang Dynasty that need money?

He himself often worries about money, especially this year there are droughts and locust plagues coming, which is another major event that requires money to be thrown into it.

If the navy is added... Li Shimin looked at the rows of terrifying numbers listed in Zhang Nuo's report, and he guessed that the Ministry of Households would vomit blood.

After all, the so-called Ministry of Households is responsible for taking care of the money bags of the court. They don't care about long-term military strategies and the like. They only have one idea, and if they want the money in their pockets, they will kill them.

In particular, this kind of large expenditure that was not included in the original plan made the Ministry of Accounting hate it.

After all, at the beginning of each year, the Ministry of Household Affairs will prepare a budget statement based on the expected income of this year and the wealth of the treasury, which will take into account all aspects of this year's expenditure in as much detail as possible.

This makes it easier for the household department to detect the financial situation of this year in advance and make adjustments. Because of this, the household department particularly hates sudden expenditures, especially massive expenditures such as the establishment of a navy.

After all, the money is all there, and it has been arranged long ago. If you suddenly have a big expense here, the only way you can think of is to transfer it from other projects, and you can't just focus on one project.

Not only because there is not enough money for a project, but also because each project represents the interests of a power or department in the imperial court. If you cut off a project like this, maybe those people will have to find you desperately .

But we can’t focus on one project, we can only suffer together, and cut off a little bit of each project.

Well, this is tantamount to overturning all the previous budgets, reviewing each project, picking out the savings that can be saved, and chopping it up.

How much work is there?How many offending people are there?

Don't look at the other yamen who are smiling when the Ministry of Accounting approves the money, but if the Ministry of Accounting dares to start with their projects and short their money, guess what the gang of people who still call themselves brothers and sisters to the Ministry of Accounting will look like.

Because of this, Li Shimin himself didn't want to cause trouble to the Ministry of Households, after all, it was no longer the trouble of the Ministry of Households' family, but the turmoil of the entire court.

However, after looking at the report at hand, wouldn't it be a pity to just give up like this.

He also really wanted to take down Tianzhu, which Zhang Nuo said could be the granary of the Tang Dynasty, and the silver mine that Zhang Nuo said could be mined for a hundred years.

In fact, it’s not impossible. This time in Korea, the Ministry of Household Affairs didn’t pay for it, and other families paid for it. The same can be done for the construction of the navy.

But this thought was snuffed out by Li Shimin as soon as it arose.

How can the important weapon of the country be allowed to be touched by others?

This is different from attacking Goryeo. In the final analysis, it is just to provide backup for Zhang Nuo, His Highness King Qin's attack plan, and then share some profits on the occupied territory.

After all, this is also a means to develop Pyongyang Road and the new land, and this kind of action is not permanent. The contract between them will expire in a few years, and these shareholders can only be like ordinary people. competed.

But the construction of the navy is different. It will be an army that will continue to exist, and even in Zhang Nuo's description, it will be stronger than his current twelve guards!

Chapter 567 The Birth of the Royal Navy

As a commander who has been on the battlefield, as an emperor who wants to be passed down through the ages, Li Shimin will never have too much military power at hand.

But he also knew what would happen if the military forces were infiltrated by capital and other aristocratic families, and it wouldn't be long before there would be wars everywhere.

After all, ambition is actually born of strength.

Without strength, great ambitions are in vain.

But after gaining strength, people will inevitably have some ideas that they shouldn't have.

Li Shimin can rest assured of Zhang Nuo because he feels that he has seen through this person. At the same time, Zhang Nuo has also proved time and time again with his actual actions that Li Shimin is right.
