Seeing that Yang Fan actually dared to argue, Li Shimin smiled angrily and said unhappily: "If beating someone is a meritorious, then you are a useful person."

Hearing Li Shimin's sarcastic words, Yang Fan was of course not convinced.

It was like looking at people in the crack of the door, and looking at people under the slightest.

Yang Fan's stubborn temper suddenly rose and said, "Your Majesty is really underestimating people. Zhuge Kongming knows the affairs of the world without going out. Although the eminent ministers are not as smart as Zhuge Kongming, they also have a loyalty to die for the country and the people, and they are also concerned about the affairs of the country."

Yang Fan obviously had something in his words, which surprised Li Shimin and asked in confusion: "How do you say this?"

Yang Fan put on a mysterious look and said, "Have Your Majesty decided to announce the rejection of the Tubo envoy Lu Dongzan's request for marriage during the New Year's court meeting?"

"It's..., this is what you said to know the world without going out?" His Majesty Li Er nodded, a little disappointed.

The refusal of marriage has long been spread among the important officials in the court, and the nobles of aristocratic families.

Although this matter was a decision made by His Majesty Li Er and several important officials in the court a few days ago.

Even though it has not been announced to the public, it is not a secret.

Yang Fan did not explain immediately, but continued: "Have your Majesty ever thought about what reaction will happen after Tubo was rejected for marriage?"

Li Shimin was confident and said proudly: "It's just a group of barbarians. Can they dare to rebel?"

Of course, His Majesty Li Er and Li Ji and others discussed this issue, and finally came to the conclusion:

Although the request of Tubo marriage was rejected by the Tang Dynasty, these foreign barbarians would never dare to take any action.

After all, in Li Shimin and others' eyes, Tubo is a bitter and cold place, and the people cannot eat enough and wear warm clothes.

Even if you are angry, you can only endure it. Can you really dare to use martial arts to the Tang Dynasty?

If Tubo really dares to take action, it will be a brave man.

Looking at Li Shimin's disregarded expression, Yang Fan showed a look that was indeed like this.

Whether it is Li Shimin or the ministers, they are too self-righteous.

Everyone thought Tubo dared not take action and relaxed his vigilance.

In the original history, because of the lack of attention from the court, Tubo suddenly sent troops to attack Songzhou without any preparation.

In the early stage of the war, the Tang Dynasty was suddenly attacked by Tubo, and the people on the frontier were unprepared, resulting in many people dying.

Although I came to the Tang Dynasty, the historical process has also changed to a certain extent.

But how can history be so easily changed?

If what we expected was not bad, after Tubo was refused marriage, he would definitely send troops to attack the Tang Dynasty again.

If the Tang Dynasty had no preparation at all, it would have been caught off guard like the original history.

Since he knew the wolf ambitions of Tubo, Yang Fan certainly did not allow the people of the Tang Dynasty to make unnecessary sacrifices.

The reason why I raise this question now.

On the one hand, it was because I wanted to divert Li Shimin's attention.

On the other hand, Yang Fan knew that today's affairs were a bit big.

He dared not guarantee 100% that he could survive without any harm.

If this matter delayed reminding Li Shimin to prepare early, Yang Fan would feel guilty for the rest of his life.

This involves living life and families of thousands of families.

After all, refusing to marry is Yang Fan's usual opinion, and he must be responsible for his actions.

Looking at Yang Fan's mocking eyes, Li Shimin, who was already speaking conscientiously, became a little unconfident.

It seemed like asking, or muttering to himself: "Does Tubo really dare to jump over the wall?"

If you talk about civil and military officials in the court, the one who least wants to start a war may be Li Shimin.

Although the Tang Dynasty had strong soldiers and horses, there were either snow or drought in recent years, and the court did not have much surplus food.

What does war depend on?

In addition to manpower, the competition is actually national strength. Logistics support such as food was an important part of national strength in ancient times.

Although due to Yang Fan, Li Shimin's hands have become a little looser.

But these money and food are prepared to realize the great dream in your heart.

Li Shimin did not want to waste the money and grain in his hand in the fight against a bitter and cold place like Tubo.

In fact, Yang Fan did not have a positive answer to whether Tubo would really send troops.

Because he didn't know whether things would happen.

It is just based on the original historical speculation that it is likely to happen, so I can't help but remind: "Everything is planned, and if it is not planned, it will be abandoned. This is a famous saying in ancient times..."

"Tubo is equivalent to a group of wolves, and the Tang Dynasty is equivalent to a lion. If these wolves want to eat the male lion and protect the young lion, of course they have to tease the lion and make it furious, so that they can take advantage of the opportunity!"

Li Shimin thoughtful and looked a little confused. As an emperor who had experienced many battles.

It’s not that he doesn’t know this, he just doesn’t want to think about it.

After all, His Majesty Li Er is not here to be concerned about.

But what Yang Fan said makes sense, and Tubo has to be careful.

Li Shimin stared at Yang Fan for a while and asked, "When will Tubo send troops if he wants to attack?"

Yang Fan said without hesitation: "If there must be a battle, I believe it must be before the spring plowing..."

This made Li Shimin look a little ugly.

Today's Tang Dynasty is not short of troops, but plague and snow disaster broke out just last year, and the year is not very good.

The reserves of grain are a little short of money. Although there is some spare money in your hands, these copper coins cannot be eaten directly as food.

Of course, Yang Fan knew Li Shimin's difficulties and smiled: "Your Majesty is worried that if a war occurs, the court's food supply will be insufficient?"

Looking at Yang Fanfeng's light expression, Li Shimin knew that this kid must be prepared and just wanted to ask for it.

He glared at Yang Fan secretly and said angrily: "If you have something to say, just say it, just let it go if you have something to say!"

Seeing that Li Shimin was so rude, Yang Fan smiled brilliantly.

However, Yang Fan had the idea of ​​losing money and avoiding disasters. He did not show off and said directly: "Give your Majesty the trust. I was entrusted with important tasks at a young age. I am really worried. Seeing that the country is in trouble and the finances are tight, I can't bear to worry about money and food, so I took a different approach and planned to reopen a new way to make money. I am willing to pay half of the income to the court as the national finance..."

"How much can you earn in a year?" When talking about money, Li Shimin suddenly felt energetic and asked anxiously.

Seeing Yang Fan erecting a finger, Li Shimin was very excited.

He knew that Yang Fan's way of making money was at least ten million yuan.

Li Shimin's eyes shining: "Are you serious?"

Yang Fan answered affirmatively: "Of course!"

Li Shimin was immediately happy and couldn't help but grin, but why did this sound so familiar?

Thinking of such a large income, I didn't care about it anymore.

When he thought of Yang Fan saying that Tubo was about to rebel, His Majesty Li Er felt a little heavier.

In Li Shimin's opinion, the distance water cannot save the near fire.

Even if he can make money again, Yang Fan will not be able to produce food out of thin air.

After all, the food of the Tang Dynasty was controlled by the aristocratic families.
