Chapter 886

The most difficult thing is the Ministry of War, and the Ministry of War really has no trouble. Because the Ministry of War of the Tang Dynasty actually cannot control the local army. Even if it can be managed, it will not dare to mobilize it. It is a big taboo to mobilize troops without authorization. Who dares? Anyway, Hou Junji dares not, so he has no choice but to come to find Li Mu.

Li Mu was preparing for the enrollment plan, but he was not concerned about Hou Junji's affairs. But this time, Hou Junji might have received Cheng Yaojin's guidance and showed off his ability to be a scoundrel. He was very stunning to not leave if he couldn't get the money and was about to stay in the valley.

Li Mu went to find Li Shimin, but Li Shimin expressed his attitude and Li Mu could not ask Li Chongyi to beat Hou Junji. There was no way, so he had to put the enrollment matters aside and help him find a way.

"Your matter is very difficult." After hearing Hou Junji analyze his difficulties, Li Mu was also very scratching his head and could not transfer troops at will. What are the advantages of the Ministry of War? Let the big-headed soldiers go to work? It's okay for a while. If it has been done, not only will the training be wasted, the soldiers will not be willing. How can there be a coolie who can handle the life in vain?

"Why try to make more adjustments?" Li Mu recalled an idea that had been a long time ago and said to Hou Junji: "The Tang Dynasty is short of horses now, but the process of selling horses is very complicated. After one hand, you can add a piece of money. If I remember correctly, the Ministry of War has a certain budget every year to purchase horses. If the Ministry of War can directly purchase this batch of horses, the money saved is enough. After all, even if the Ministry of Revenue deducts, it will not dare to blatantly deduct too much from the Ministry of War."

"Organize a caravan?" Hou Junji frowned and said, "It's the New Year, is it appropriate to organize a caravan at this time?"

"We are spending the Chinese New Year, and the Turks are not in the New Year. What's wrong with it? Besides, aren't you short of money? You have no rice to put it in the pot, and you still care so much?"

"But-" Hou Junji hesitated and said, "Deploy troops without authorization-"

"Is it necessary to dispatch troops?" Li Mu blinked and said, "I heard that the generals have personal soldiers. There are so many generals in the Ministry of War, and each family has gathered ten or eight. It's not difficult to raise a hundred people, right? Just one hundred people, and no one believes that they use these hundred people to rebel. I just don't believe that the generals' personal soldiers are escorting horses. I don't believe that there will be any thieves on the road who dare to fight. Not to mention that they can fight, even if they meet a large number of people and powerful people, they have to consider whether they can bear the consequences."

"That's true!" Hou Junji was confident. Not to mention whether the horse trafficking was violated or not, robbing the horse would definitely be a death. How important is horses to the Tang Dynasty? Li Shimin dreamed of creating a cavalry of ten thousand people. If the horse trafficking was robbed, Hou Junji would recognize it, and Li Shimin would not recognize it!

The solution was found, and the rest was implemented. Hou Junji rubbed his hands and said, "It's okay to sell horses, but there is still a tricky thing now."

Li Mu looked at him in confusion, and suddenly felt something. Just as he was about to open his mouth, he heard Hou Junji say, "The budget for last year has been spent. I haven't seen the budget for the new year yet. Where can I get the capital for horse sales?" Hou Junji stretched out his hand and said, "Or don't lend me first, and when my horse sales come back, or the budget for the new year is out, I'll repay you."

"I--" Li Mu said anxiously: "General, don't you take such a slut? I've found a way for you, and you still asked me to pay?"

"I borrowed it!" Hou Junji emphasized: "I will pay you a lot of money and I will give you interest."

"It sounds nice!" Li Mu said mercilessly: "If you don't return me, I can't do anything to you. Your Majesty will definitely not make decisions for me if I suffer a loss."

"A gentleman's words are as good as a wise man. Do you think I am Cheng Yaojin?" Hou Junji said unhappily: "Just say this to you, you have to lend me."

Li Mu realized that it was fake for Hou Junji to find a solution, and it was real for him to find money from the river. If it was expected, Hou Junji should be short of this money for the New Year now. This is purely coming to fight Qiufeng. No wonder Li Shimin did not show up. It is obvious that they had already discussed it between the king and his ministers, just to cheat him!

Li Mu thought for a while and said, "It's not impossible, how much do you want?"

"Ten thousand coins!" Hou Junji stretched out two fingers, and withdrew one finger under Li Mu's eyes, and said embarrassedly: "No more is not enough."

"I can give you 100,000 yuan, but I can't give you no reward at all." Li Mu's lips curled up slightly and said, "Let's make a deal."

Seeing Li Mu's smile like this, Hou Junji felt a little nervous. He had a sense that he might not only not take advantage of the situation, but also suffer losses. But he could not imagine what he would suffer, and he was indeed lacking this money. Because of this, he made up his mind and said, "What do you want? Let's agree first, I won't do it for your Majesty's sake!"

Li Mu leaned into Hou Junji's ear and muttered a few words. Hou Junji frowned and said, "It's not appropriate to do this. If I do backfire, wouldn't I offend the people in the court? Besides, your Majesty may not agree."

Li Mu knew what he was thinking and said, "Your Majesty, I'll just say that, anyway, as long as you name the Ministry of War, I'll give you 100,000 yuan," paused, and Li Mu said, "You don't have to pay it back, right?"

"Okay!" Hou Junji agreed immediately. Li Mu felt that he had been fooled. As expected, he was still old. Hou Junji was prepared and had already planned it. But it was normal. In the early Tang Dynasty, one who could be a general was a good player. Although Hou Junji became a little more reckless when he was young, he was also a real general. How could he not have his own plan?

The two of them made an agreement, and Hou Junji also took Li Mu's note with satisfaction and went to Sihai Gambling to withdraw money.

...

The exchange conditions proposed by Li Mu are very simple, which is the power to run a military academy. Li Mu originally planned to carry out this matter if he was in Chang'an, but later he went to Luoyang, and the difficulty of implementing this matter doubled, so he put the plan aside. Later, the matter was complicated and he forgot about it.

Thinking about it now, it was because of the matter of the Tang Technical School. Anyway, they were all running schools, and one sheep was driven and two sheep were released. It would not take much energy to kill two birds with one stone.
