Chapter 514 Princess Reminder
Anyway, this is the situation. Li De's battle report was written very clearly. It would be Emperor Yang of Sui if the court could receive commendation.
The reason why Emperor Yang of Sui was angry was not because the vanguard soldiers had strong strength, but because his original plan to use the Luo family and the Li family to restrict Li De failed.
The Yanyun cavalry of the Luo family has been tied to the vanguard, and it is the most dangerous now. Li Shimin is now the guardian of Youzhou City, and this official position was not appointed by the court.
Emperor Yang of Sui felt very uncomfortable.
Threats to the imperial power are always the most taboo, but what can he do? What he cares more about is the Guanlong nobles' power than Li De.
"If the troops in Youzhou have made merits, then reward them." Emperor Yang of Sui said in a deep voice.
The father-in-law around him immediately responded and asked him to do the work.
It didn't take long for the emperor to be rewarded and get rich. Emperor Yang of Sui was not stingy this time, so Luo Yi was promoted to his official position and was now a general. From this point of view, he could command a group of ten thousand troops.
Li De rewarded more, and in addition to the money, he was more than 20 cars needed for the palace.
"Husband, what does Your Majesty mean? Is it necessary to give you these things to target you?" Pei Qingxuan asked.
"It's not simple yet. My husband's great ability has been feared by the emperor. I may have given these things out of helplessness." Princess Lanling said.
"Oh, how do you say it?" Li Xiuning asked.
"If Youzhou City defeats the Turks, no matter how rewards are made, what will the people in the world say? Isn't the husband's limelight overwhelming the emperor's brother? Even if the emperor doesn't think it was not possible last time, the people in the world are in a leisurely manner to make people know that Youzhou City is from the Sui State and the Great Governor of the Sui Dynasty." Lanling explained.
"Will this deepen your brother's fear of his husband?" Zhang Chuchen said.
Lanling was silent. With her understanding of Yang Guang, if it was involved in the imperial power, it would definitely be useless. Even if she came forward, it would be useless.
"Okay, don't worry, isn't recruiting so many troops just to protect you, protect the people in the city, and protect this side? I believe Your Majesty understands it."
Li De comforted everyone, saying that if you don’t explain it clearly, they might keep guessing, and in the end they might not know what would happen, so he downplayed the matter first.
Besides, Emperor Yang of Sui was very ambitious and had great skills, but ten people must have weaknesses and some defects.
Emperor Yang of Sui was not his strength, but his desire to deal with all forces. It seemed that his strength was accumulated by inheriting the past and opening up the future. Now he has taken out the accumulated momentum.
It just so happened that Emperor Yang of Sui was not the kind of person who could tolerate it. He often did things more extremely, but he never could shake the forces that threatened him.
Li De knew this and would not be afraid of Emperor Yang of Sui, because even if Emperor Yang of Sui offended all the civil and military officials of the court, he would not attack him first, but he was afraid that something would happen.
"By the way, have the materials been counted?" Li De began to change the topic.
"Where is Princess Yu, why don't you see anyone?" Pei Qingxuan said.
"I have sent someone a long time ago. Maybe it's too busy, so it's too late." Li Xiuning said.
"I really don't treat myself as an outsider." Zhang Chuchen said for no reason. His words were very jealous and no one paid attention to her.
Princess Yu was really late for half an hour. When she arrived, she asked directly: "Governor, what's the matter with me? I'm doing it for official business. I'll finish it quickly and continue to deal with it."
Princess Yu came in and was doing business. This change has been like this since Li De saw the letter from the King of Kuangshan last time. Li De could understand that the other party would definitely feel that he would decline if he said ambiguous words in front of others.
It is normal for a woman to be unable to hide her face.
"I want to ask about the materials transported by He Bida and the others." Li Dedao.
"The materials are being counted. What has been checked is that the total number of horses obtained is 100,000, and the number of fur soldiers and fine armor is as many as 100,000 vehicles. The soldiers' profits are also being purchased at the same time." Princess Yu said.
Li De knew that there were many horses in this war, but he never thought that there were so many horses that could satisfy the replacement of the vanguard's horses.
Replenish the number of horse-drawn carriages, but the same amount of forage for feeding horses requires more, which is a considerable expenditure. The main reason why the Sui Dynasty was not good at raising horses was the lack of grasslands.
The growth environment and forage demand for horses have great requirements.
Now there are 300,000 war horses in Youzhou City, and the expenses are a big problem. It is equivalent to 300,000 mouths, and people need to maintain food.
"Your husband should be happy if he has more than 100,000 war horses. Why are you unhappy?" Lanling asked.
This kind of thing is something that people like Lanling cannot understand for a while.
"What else can it be? You want to feed the horses. A large part of the expenditure of 200,000 cavalrymen is used to purchase forage. Now there are 100,000 more horses. Who would be happy?" Pei Qingxuan said.
Lanling understood as soon as he heard this, it was a good thing to get a horse, but he would have to pay for it. Now Youzhou City is developing everywhere, and suddenly he wanted to help but felt powerless.
"Princess doesn't have to worry about money in Youzhou City before, but with this victory, the army and armor can be recast and fur can be used as military funds. The seized gems, jewelry, and wealth are enough for 200,000 soldiers to squander for two years. I believe that the ability of the Grand Commander should be able to solve all problems in two years." Princess Yu said.
"Of course." Li De admitted shamelessly. He was still confident in the future. If he could still lack money to spend in this era, then he would have been in vain.
Princess Yu doesn't like to see Li De's proud look now.
"The Grand Governor seems to be too optimistic. Although there are too many supplies, you have never thought about the affairs of the commanders. They are all talking about the distribution of materials in the Luo family." Princess Yu suddenly said.
Li De really couldn't laugh. For a long time, he ignored a very important thing, that is, he is now a local prince, and he is not the only one in this interest group.
The lieutenants are part of this interest group. To put it bluntly, you cannot let the lieutenants follow you as lieutenants. If you are a human, you will have pursuits and ideas.
Didn’t the vanguard soldiers get together for the purpose of making achievements? Now the team is very stable. When you can’t give them the chance to get promoted and make money and cannot satisfy their desires, the group will naturally not be reliable.
Princess Yu's words hit his heart.
