"First of all, we only need to recruit 40,000 militiamen from Chang'an City and go to the four cities of Liangzhou, Suzhou, Lanzhou, and Shazhou to support us! First, this can save the real strength of our Tang Dynasty, and second, they can also

By the way, we will transport food and grass to support the four cities! Thirdly, we don’t need to distribute the food for the 40,000 troops, it will all be included in the military salary! In this way, wouldn’t it be the best of all three?”

Li Chengfeng's method shocked the civil and military officials of the entire court. They did not expect that the six-year-old eighth prince could actually solve the Tang Dynasty's military problems, people's livelihood problems, and food and grass transportation problems in such a short period of minutes.

.

The Eighth Prince's thinking was simply too advanced.

Many ministers looked up to Li Chengfeng with admiration and admiration.

Compared with Li Shimin's deliberation, Li Chengfeng is better at rational analysis and directly giving corresponding countermeasures to deal with these matters.

It can be said that it is a quick way to cut through the mess.

And all the ministers finally understood why Li Shimin left the government affairs to Li Chengfeng while he was recovering from illness.

Because the eighth prince Li Chengfeng has the ability to handle major events in the world.

…

All the ministers applauded Li Chengfeng's decision, but Cheng Yaojin was the only one who became unhappy.

Cheng Yaojin said: "Eighth Prince, your method is feasible! However, when the Turks and Tubo attacked the Tang Dynasty, they were all well-trained soldiers. The old minister was afraid, so the 40,000 civilian soldiers they sent to support could not defend themselves against it.

Avoid the attacks of the Turks and Tibetans! After all, they have never been on the battlefield, do not know martial arts, and have no systematic training. If they are on the battlefield, they will just be in the past and not deserters!"

Li Chengfeng smiled lightly and said: "I, the prince, just let them go for the momentum and didn't let them go to the battlefield?"

"Oh? What does the Eighth Prince mean by this?" Cheng Yaojin asked in confusion.

Li Chengfeng replied: "Gong Lu, just imagine, if we go to attack the Turks and see the Turkic border fortress cities, all filled with soldiers in armor, will you lead your troops to attack when there is no absolute chance of victory?"

"Reporting to the Eighth Prince, I am not that stupid. I will definitely not fight a battle with no chance of winning!"

"Yeah, since you know you won't fight, then when the Turkic generals see our Datang border fortress surrounded by defensive warriors, will they attack? You can't even think about it!"

"Even if the soldiers we recruit are just civilians, they only need to wear armor and hold broad swords! Everyone is Lu Bu among the people. I don't care how strong their fighting power is, as long as they have a loud voice! This prince will not

I believe that this Turkic thief still dares to attack our city?"

"It's wonderful, it's wonderful! Hahaha, it's the Eighth Prince who is more careful, but the old minister is worrying too much, hahaha!"

After listening to Li Chengfeng's analysis, Cheng Yaojin suddenly showed a happy smile on his face.

Li Chengfeng waved his hand randomly and said: "Gong Lu, this prince has released one hundred thousand gold and asked you to go to the private sector to recruit people to join the army! The conditions for collection are: women are not required, and the old, weak, sick and disabled are not required! The reward for joining the army is: keep keeping,

Distribute 5 kilograms of rice to their families every month, calculated based on population!"

"Yes, the Eighth Prince!"

"Well, the most important point is that you should not force strong men to recruit soldiers, but ask them to join the army voluntarily! The conditions for generous rewards have been given out, and whether they come or not is the business of the people! Also, as long as

Recruit 40,000 soldiers, not too many! Otherwise, there will be a serious shortage of labor in the Tang Dynasty, and I still need them to dig the Grand Canal!"

"Okay, Eighth Prince, I will follow your instructions!"

Cheng Yaojin nodded respectfully, but he admired Li Chengfeng in his heart.

Originally, if Li Shimin were to deal with these problems, it would take at least a week or at most a month to complete them.

But the Eighth Prince perfectly solved all the problems in one day?

Of course, the people's livelihood problems were perfectly solved, but the national treasury also suffered a lot of losses.

And these things soon reached the ears of Prince Li Chengqian.

In the palace, everyone praised the eighth prince for his good handling of government affairs.

But Li Chengqian was very disdainful, because Li Chengqian felt that the eighth prince was consuming the power of the treasury while solving people's livelihood problems, which was not a big deal at all.

No matter who it is, anyone can solve it.

So, the next morning, Li Chengqian ordered his closest ministers to go to Cuixian Tower in Changfeng Village and tell Li Shimin about the incident.

After Li Shimin heard this, he frowned.

Because Li Chengfeng's handling method was to drain the national treasury to relieve the victims. If the national treasury was depleted, the entire Tang Dynasty would be doomed.

But Li Shimin believed that with Li Chengfeng's IQ, he would never do such nonsense.

Unless Li Chengfeng has a way to solve his worries.

Because Li Shimin had just completed the craniotomy, Li Shimin was not yet able to go to court and review the memorial, so Li Shimin wanted to let Li Chengfeng go to court for him for a while.

If Li Chengfeng is still depleting the national treasury to maintain people's livelihood, then Li Shimin may take back the power in Li Chengfeng's hands at any time.

After all, the national treasury cannot afford such consumption.

Li Shimin would rather have more people die from drought than consume the Tang Dynasty's accumulation.

This is how ruthless an emperor should be.

…

A month later, Li Shimin was almost finished.

So he returned to the palace in Chang'an City under the care of Wang Dequan, the chief eunuch.

The news of Li Shimin's return spread throughout the palace in an instant, and all the ministers rushed to welcome Li Shimin's arrival.

Li Shimin was willing to come back this time for two reasons.

The first point is: come and see how Li Chengfeng went to court.

The second point is: seek the opinions of all ministers and let them decide whether Li Chengfeng has the ability to continue to go to court on his behalf.

…

Returning to the court, Li Shimin once again sat on the throne.

Li Chengfeng returned to the court listening platform.

Because Li Shimin had his hair shaved off during surgery, Li Shimin is now wearing a brocade hat on his head to cover up the scars and baldness on his head.

"Ahem, dear friends, after so many days, I'm back again! I came back just to see how my eighth prince went to court! Don't worry about my existence! Feng'er!"

"Yes, Father!"

"You continue to attend court on the stage, and let me see with my own eyes how you handle government affairs!"

"Okay Father!"

Li Chengfeng stretched out his little hand and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

To be honest, after working in court for a month, Li Chengfeng felt that it was very fresh at first. But later, Li Chengfeng got tired of it and felt that he was just working for Li Shimin again and could not earn anything?
