The Turks.
In the northern part of the Great Tang, let's say something neutral.
When the Great Tang had just been established, Li Yuan had been forced to send people to establish good relations with the Turks in order to settle the various vassals of the Central Plains.
The Great Tang and the Turks were like brothers.
But blood brothers had to settle accounts. It was winter, and the Turks were all on the steppe. They had no resources.
What if there were no supplies?
Snatch!
But whose supplies were they robbing?
The Great Tang!
Thus, the Turks began to look in the direction of the Great Tang, and their soldiers began to stir.
But did the Great Tang have resources?
There was!
But not much!
It had only been ten years since the Great Tang had been established, and it could be said that the Great Tang was still in its infancy. Without the Zhenguan reign, the Great Tang was actually penniless.
The mess left behind by the Sui Dynasty.
The Great Tang had just taken over, and its own people were still starving, and there were still people rebelling on its territory from time to time.
How could the Great Tang have the resources to give to the Turks!
Thus, when the people in the imperial court heard this news, their expressions became solemn.
If the Great Tang did not have resources, it would not give them.
Even if the Turks didn't have resources, they would definitely rob them.
In other words, the two sides were bound to engage in another fierce battle. But this was where the problem lay. The Turks had come from the steppe, and not only did they not lack warhorses.
Moreover, the Turks were not afraid of winter!
But although the Great Tang people were equally brave and skilled in battle, they were still inferior to the Turks in terms of resisting the winter winds.
The general guarding the Turkic border had sent a memorial asking if the Imperial Court could give them more clothes to resist the winter winds.
This would be considered a war in winter!
The Great Tang was not afraid of anyone!
Whoosh…
In the imperial court, after everyone learned of the contents of the memorial, they could not help but whisper and discuss.
The people of Prince Qin's Mansion were also frowning and thinking.
To put it bluntly, the Great Tang would belong to King Qin's Mansion in the future. Once Li Shimin ascended the throne, this problem would need to be solved by King Qin's Mansion.
However…
This problem was not easy to solve.
Li Shi Min frowned and suddenly looked at Lin Qiu, who was standing beside him with a calm expression.!”
"You guess." Lin Qiu smiled mysteriously.
Li Shimin was speechless.
Li Shiming frowned, but Lin Qiu was very calm.
Li Shi Min couldn't help but calm down.
Because…
Lin Qiu had given him too many surprises. It didn't matter even if Lin Qiu couldn't do anything about it.
The discussion in the court continued.
Emperor Li Yuan took a nap. After the discussion died down, he said,"Dear ministers, who has an idea?"!”
"This…"
For a moment, no one came forward to answer.
There was actually no one in the Imperial Court who could solve this problem.
"What do you think, Minister of War?" Emperor Li Yuan frowned and began to call out names.!”
The bitter Minister of War stepped forward and smiled bitterly." Your Majesty, since ancient times, winter has always been a disadvantage for the Han people. This problem has not been solved for thousands of years. I really have no choice.”
Li Yuan's frown deepened.!”
The Minister of War nodded.
But this method truly wasn't a good one. Putting aside the fact that the Great Tang needed soldiers everywhere, where would they find an army to pressure the Turks?!
The most important thing was…
Winter battles were disadvantageous to the Tang soldiers. As long as this problem was not resolved, no matter how many soldiers were sent to the border, they would not be able to solve this fundamental problem!
Li Yuan thought hard.
"Your Majesty, why don't you ask the King of Qin for his opinion?" The Minister of War suggested with a faint smile.”
Shua!
Instantly, everyone's eyes turned to Li Shi Min and Lin Qiu.
Even though Li Shi Min had been conferred the title of Crown Prince.
However, everyone was still used to the title of King Qin. Li Yuan was the same. He was not willing to call Li Shiming the Crown Prince and still called him King Qin.
In that case…
The King of Qin was the Crown Prince!
Emperor Li Yuan looked at Li Shi Min.
But soon, he saw Lin Qiu standing beside Li Shiming with an indifferent expression. He couldn't help but snort.
As an emperor!
He had already lost to Lin Qiu several times. How could he be happy?!
Li Yuan looked at Lin Qiu and asked Li Shiming,"Shiming, what solution do you have?"”
"Father, your son…" Li Shiming smiled bitterly.
What solution could he have? Even the Minister of War had said that this problem could not be solved for thousands of years.
No matter how smart Li Shiming was, he couldn't possibly think of a solution in an instant, right?!
However…
This was the first question Emperor Li Yuan had given him after he became the Crown Prince.
To put it in a big way.
As long as this problem was solved, he would definitely gain the support of many officials in the court.
Da da!
However, Lin Qiu shook her head and stood up for Li Shiming.
Li Er, Li Er.
Your father is deliberately giving you a difficult problem, but to me…
It was too simple!
He cupped his hands.
He bowed.
" Your Majesty," Lin Qiu said solemnly with a calm expression," I'll be honest with you. I've discussed this problem with the King of Qin long ago. There is indeed a solution!"”
"What is it?" Emperor Li Yuan was shocked.”
"Your Majesty, have you ever heard of cotton-padded clothes?" Lin Qiu smiled mysteriously.!”
