"Your Highness, it's hard to talk in the tent. In fact, my father has been thinking about you."
"He has already prepared this for you."
"On the battlefield, please take more care of his old man." With that said, Lin Bei took out the kit.
The moment Zhao Qian saw the kit, his eyes began to light up!
He hurriedly stretched out his hand to take it, holding it tightly in his hand.
"Don't worry, Uncle Lin treats me like his own son, and I will reciprocate the favor!"
"Goodbye!" Zhao Qian got on his horse and drove away quickly.
In his mind, he kept planning how to achieve success in the Northern Expedition.
After returning with many meritorious deeds, how should he compete for the position of crown prince?
"What a silly boy." Lin Bei looked at Li Qian's back and sighed silently.
Tomorrow, I'm afraid many people will be scolded.
You might even be punished.
However, when the prince was punished, he was punished with a rod, and then he was confined to self-examination.
For them, the biggest punishment may be that they cannot participate in the Northern Expedition.
I can't make any achievements, so I can try to seize the crown prince's position.
Remember in the unofficial history, which prince was conquered on behalf of his father?
He seems to be the prince!
It's a pity that the Northern Expedition failed miserably in the end and the prince failed to come back.
The third prince was the last to succeed.
wrong! Miserable failure!
Lin Bei's face suddenly turned pale.
The coach of Beizheng is my father!
How could he forget this.
According to unofficial records, at the end of the 27th year of Da Qian's rule, the Northern Expedition kicked off.
Marquis Zhongyi led 50,000 cavalry and 100,000 infantry into the grassland.
The intention is to take advantage of the shortage of materials in the northern grassland of Daqian due to the extreme cold, and take the opportunity to severely damage the grassland.
Laying the foundation for the next year's general offensive in the war to destroy the country.
This is a winnable war.
The northern grasslands are vast and sparsely populated. Without the meat of livestock to survive the winter, as well as the food and clothing exchanged for livestock, many people naturally starved to death.
As long as Daqian's army fights through, they will definitely be able to take down several barbarian tribes easily.
Seriously weakening the strength of the grassland tribes.
It's a pity that the last 150,000 troops have not yet reached the depths of the grassland.
When they ran out of food, they also entered a situation where they were running out of ammunition and food.
The prairie people were very smart and did not confront them head-on.
Instead, they took advantage of Qingqi to intercept Daqian's grain team transporting supplies.
The army had no supplies and was unable to march, so it could only stay where it was.
In the end, he was trapped and died on the grassland, with no bones left.
The failure of this battle greatly damaged Da Qian's vitality.
It also changed the situation between the two countries.
The war to destroy the country ended in vain.
Twenty-eight years after the establishment of the rule, the tribes in the grassland that had recovered gradually sent troops to attack Daqian!
Daqian was unable to fight anymore and started a humiliating tribute that lasted for decades.
Lin Bei can't see this happening!
He would not allow his father to die in the northern grasslands.
Historically, perhaps it was because of Lin Zhenshan's death.
It was Lin Bei who died on the road to exile.
Otherwise, if Marquis Zhongyi is still here, who would dare to attack Lin Bei?
Lin Bei didn't know how long it would be before the war started.
But this happened at the end of the year.
There are less than four months left until the end of the year.
I don’t know if there will be enough time.
"It's broken, it's broken, it's time to make money! It's going to be hard to make money!" Lin Bei looked anxious.
Ninety-nine percent of the reason for the failure of the Northern Expedition was food shortage.
The army ran out of food and was unable to fight anymore.
But when we invade the grassland, the supply line is stretched too long, and this situation is simply unavoidable!
Since it cannot be replenished, it must be replenished by itself.
The army must carry at least a month's worth of food.
And it should be light enough and feel full!
The only thing Lin Bei could think of was compressed biscuits.
In less than four months, enough compressed biscuits were produced to support an army of 150,000 men for a month.
At least a few million yuan.
Disaster! It is simply extremely difficult!
Required manpower, raw materials, space, etc.
Ten million taels of silver is probably not enough!
What's more, only three million taels out of the ten million taels are banknotes.
The remaining houses cannot be sold in a short period of time.
Make money! Must make a lot of money!
"The wool has to come from the sheep!" Lin Bei looked at the palace and squinted his eyes.
There are still more than a dozen princes in the palace now.
He doesn't want much, just one million taels for a prince.
Anyway, the world is for Da Gan, how can they do it without paying for it!
With this idea in mind, Lin Bei returned to the tent.
After simply calculating the value of the night pearl and the dagger, he sat there and waited for the remaining prince to arrive.
Next, the person who came was beyond Lin Bei's expectation.
He thought about many princes.
Only this, he had never thought of!
This person is the fourteenth prince, who is only twelve years old, the second to last one.
The youngest, Xiao Shiwu, is only seven years old this year. He stayed with the Queen and did not come to participate in the autumn hunting.
It's so small, it only creates chaos and doesn't hunt much.
"Xiao Shisi, Qiu Lie has nothing to do with you."
"Be obedient, go home and pee in the mud." Lin Bei touched the fourteenth prince's head.
It's not that he thinks he's easy to bully because he's young.
But how could this fourteenth prince be rich!
If he came to buy information, Lin Bei might have to lose a lot of money to buy it.
"Get out of the way!"
"Speak directly and get straight to the point."
"Three hundred thousand taels, that's all the money I can afford."
The Fourteenth Prince took out a stack of silver notes, along with several land deeds and a small box of gold and silver jewelry.
"Child, this money is far from enough!"
"Your Third Emperor Brother came here just now and gave us one million taels but we didn't even tell him the news."
"Three hundred thousand, tsk tsk!" Lin Bei shook his head with disdain.
"That's all I can take out."
"If I ascend to the position of crown prince in the future, I will protect you as the Lin family's duke for generations to come!" Xiao Shisi looked a little embarrassed, and it was obvious that he was frightened by the large amount of money.
Lin Bei shook his head to express his refusal.
Another flash of inspiration struck him and he wrote down an IOU.
"One million and three hundred thousand taels, how about I give you the news?" Lin Bei had a weird smile on his face and squatted in front of Xiao Shisi like a child.
In Xiao Si's small eyes, apart from a bit of innocence, there was also the desire for the position of prince.
He immediately nodded in agreement, picked up a pen and wrote down his name.
I also pressed my fingerprints.
"It's easy enough, I'm optimistic about you!" Lin Bei put away the IOU and handed him the tips bag with a smile.
After the Fourteenth Prince left, Lin Zhenshan looked at Lin Bei with contempt while counting the money.
"Why did I give birth to a thing like you?"
"You even lie to children!"
After saying that, Lin Zhenshan spat hard.
How shameless!
Lin Bei chuckled and had no explanation.
Faced with the need to equip an army of 150,000 troops with military rations, such a huge sum of money is astronomical.
He can only be a little shameless first.
Compressed biscuits alone may not be enough for military rations.
In the cold grassland, fat and sugar must be replenished!
Food containing these things is another huge expense!
Lin Bei really wanted to write down the unofficial history for Zhao Li and give him a headache!
