Regarding Li Anran's question, Cheng Yaojin, who personally visited Li Anran, although it was impossible to leak military secrets, still revealed some information he could tell, and at the same time made clear the purpose of his visit.

"Oh? So, His Majesty now wants me to come forward and take charge of the logistics of using troops against the Turks?" Li Anran, who had long expected that the other party would not just reveal the news when he came to visit, put down the tea cup in his hand, with a look on his face.

Said playfully.

It's not surprising that Li Anran had such an expression. The main reason was that Li Shimin's idea was really, how to put it, really bold. It would not be an exaggeration to describe it.

After all, the strength Li Anran has shown now is far beyond what a Tang Dynasty can contend with.

Not to mention the colonial ship Qidian that has not yet been built, the city-class starship Divine Domain, and the multi-functional exploration spacecraft that has not yet been brought to Datang due to production problems, these are just what Li Anran has on hand.

Shuttles, drones, and even mining barges that are mining resources in small strips of time and space in the Tang Dynasty are enough to crush the entire Tang Dynasty.

Although Li Anran also knew that the other party dared to make such a request, it was probably related to the fact that he had not fully demonstrated his strength. But he had to admit that Li Shimin, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, was indeed quite bold.

"The real person is joking. The saint would not dare to instruct the real person to do things. But the significance of using troops against the Turks this time is very important, so I hope that the real person can help." Seeing that the other party had misunderstood, Cheng Yaojin quickly explained.

"Help me?" Li Anran, who heard this explanation, said with a noncommittal smile: "Then I don't know how your majesty wants me to help you now? Provide another batch of food and grass? Or provide another batch of weapons and armor? Or something else?

Thoughts?”

"What the real person said seems to Zhijie that the more the merrier. However, what the saint means is that he hopes that the real person can use the magical weapon to control the air and replenish food, grass, medicine and other materials in a timely manner for the soldiers on the front line." Cheng Yaojin

Said with a smile.

"Oh? It turns out that you are interested in my air-control magic weapon." Li Anran nodded without any surprise. After thinking for a while, he said: "Old General Cheng, if you want me to help you with this, you can

, but there are some things I have to say up front.”

"Please tell me, real person." Cheng Yaojin, who had been prepared to be rejected before coming, saw that the other party actually agreed so readily, and said with a smile. However, he also knew that the use of troops this time was of great importance. Therefore,

. did not promise anything.

"First of all, my air-control magic weapon is indeed very useful for transporting goods, but it requires a spacious enough space when unloading goods. Therefore, this problem needs to be solved by the frontline troops themselves." He raised an index finger.

Li Anran said.

"That's no problem. If you know the truth, you can agree." Cheng Yaojin, who had also obtained some authorization from Li Shimin before coming, saw that it was just such a trivial matter and made his promise without saying a word.

"General Cheng, don't think this is easy. You must know that the situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, and my air defense weapon is so huge. The landing location is easy to handle, but such a large target can easily cause

Enemy attack."

At this point, Li Anran did not wait for the other party to speak, and continued: "I believe that when General Cheng took the air-defying magic weapon before, he should also have seen the power of the magic weapon's automatic defense system. If he accidentally injures one of his own,

But it’s not good.”

"This..." Faced with such a statement, Cheng Yaojin immediately hesitated.

In fact, Cheng Yaojin, who was ordered to talk to Li Shian about this matter, did not know clearly that the reason why Li Shimin wanted someone to be in charge of logistics was that besides the fact that cargo airships can indeed play a great role in logistics, some kind of

To a certain extent, he also took a fancy to the frighteningly powerful immortal weapons on the spaceship.

Just imagine, when the airship landed, a group of Turkic soldiers suddenly ran out. Needless to say, the result was natural. In Li Shimin's view, even a mountain can be destroyed in the blink of an eye, how could this man's body be able to withstand it?

As for why Turkic soldiers appeared where the airship landed, it is not up to the frontline generals to explain. They can just use the excuse that they did not know the enemy had an ambush in advance to get over it.

At that time, once the Tang army encounters a difficult "bone", it can completely use this method to solve the problem. In this way, the overall war against the Turks will become easier and the losses will be reduced.

It can go even lower.

Although Cheng Yaojin rushed over immediately after receiving the order, he didn't think much about it. But as a famous general in history, even if he has always been described as vulgar, he was able to escape from Wagang Village

I have been messing around until today, and it is pure nonsense to say that I can only act recklessly and not use my brain!

No, after listening to Li Anran's obvious reminder that there was something hidden in his words, Cheng Yaojin naturally quickly thought of the hidden intention of his emperor's move, and couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart.

"What the real person said is absolutely true, but I don't know if there are any other requirements apart from this matter?" Cheng Yaojin, knowing that he couldn't promise anything, smiled awkwardly and said.

"If Your Majesty can solve the problem I just mentioned, then the remaining issue is the cost of using the air-control weapon." Li Anran, knowing that the other party could not make the decision, stretched out his second finger and smiled.

road.

Li Anran didn't feel out of place at all that he, a true immortal from the upper realm, would actually speak out about such mundane things as money.

Just kidding, in "Journey to the West", Sakyamuni, the Buddha, said that this Dharma should not be taught lightly and the sutras should not be taken in vain.

According to the original description in the book, when faced with the questions raised by Tang Monk and others, Sakyamuni said this: "Don't shout. I already know how they asked you about human affairs. But the sutra should not be taken lightly."

It cannot be passed down in vain."

"At that time, all the bhikkhus and holy monks came down the mountain and recited this sutra to Elder Zhao at his home in Savatthi State to ensure the safety of the living and the transcendence of the dead. I only asked him for three measures of rice and three liters of gold. I returned the favor.

They say they are so cheap that their descendants will have no money to use them. Now you come to pick them up empty-handed, so you passed them down in vain."

Look, even the great Buddha said this, so why is Li Anran, who is "a late learner but a late learner" behind his back, embarrassed?

Regarding this issue of fees, Cheng Yaojin, who has a deep understanding of someone and is also a partner, is not surprised at all.

Although I am indeed a little puzzled as to why the dignified True Immortal of the Upper Realm cares about this copper-smelling thing, I am somewhat relieved when I think that the "Biography of Immortals" has more or less descriptions of such issues.

.

Of course, Cheng Yaojin also knew that whether he was relieved or not, it was meaningless at all. He immediately said: "I don't know how much the real person said it would cost?"

"Normally, the spiritual energy and mana consumed to drive the magic weapon cannot be compensated by worldly wealth at all, but who made me have a fate with the Tang Dynasty. In line with the rules of fair trade and no deception, every time the air control magic weapon is used

, Datang needs to pay 100,000 yuan." Li Anran picked up the tea cup and said with a smile.

"One hundred thousand dollars?!" Cheng Yaojin suddenly fell silent when faced with this number.

As to whether the price of this hundred thousand yuan is high, it is indeed very high!

Even though prices were still a bit high in the early days of Zhenguan, a regular amount of money was enough to support a family of several people to live a comfortable life for a month. One hundred thousand guan is equivalent to the cost that can allow 100,000 households to live a good life for a month, so it is natural

It's very high.

But the problem is that interruption is a completely different concept from ordinary life. Ordinary people will only feel uncomfortable if they go hungry for one or two meals. But if the soldiers on the battlefield are hungry, the consequences will be quite serious.

Not to mention that the traditional supply method is not only dangerous, but also consumes a lot of money. You must know that the soldiers who are responsible for the food also need to eat and drink every day. Therefore, the longer the supply line, the greater the consumption of logistics and transportation.

In addition to the normal or abnormal consumption during transportation, once ten kilograms of grain are transported to the front line and only one kilogram is left, the original consumption of grain and grass for an army of 100,000 will be the same as that of an army of one million.

If you also include problems such as delays in military aircraft, the price of 100,000 guan to allow the air-control magic weapon to travel is really not expensive! (To be continued...)
