"Minister Tang, what do you think about this?”
In the end, Li Shi Min asked Tang Tian.
Tang Tian was not surprised because he wanted to enter the royal court in hopes of better settling these refugees. After all, if he was alone, it was inevitable that his hands and feet would be tied. He even had to do many things himself. It was too tiring.
"Your Majesty, not only these two hundred thousand refugees, but even all the refugees of the Great Tang who were created by the Turks, this subject has a way to settle them.”
Tang Tian said.
Everyone was in an uproar as they looked at Tang Tian in disbelief.
In the end, Du Ruhui stood up and said hesitantly.
"Duke of Tang, although you are powerful and have the courage to fight against ten thousand men, you are still very powerful. But this time, because of the Turks, our Great Tang has lost five hundred thousand refugees! How were they going to settle so many refugees?”
"Their daily food needs are easy to deal with. Although the national treasury was lacking in funds, it would not be a problem to support it for a few months if it was allocated from Jiangnan and other places. But what about a few months later? In addition, rebuilding homes and houses will require a massive amount of money. Our Great Tang doesn't have any money right now!”
The Minister of Revenue, Tang Jian, added. (In fact, there was no Ministry of Revenue during the Zhenguan period. Instead, it is called the degree of support, left people, right people. It was only during the Yongwei years that it was changed to the Ministry of Revenue to avoid Li Shimin.）
"That's right, Duke of Tang. The Great Tang has suffered heavy losses in this battle. Just the repairs to the city defenses have emptied the treasury.”
Hearing their words, the courtiers nodded because it was indeed the case. Everyone in the Imperial Court knew how poor the Great Tang was. Even the royal family in the palace had very simple food and clothing. It was enough to show how bleak it was.
Tang Tian was familiar with history, so he naturally knew about this.
However, this was not a big deal to him.
"Your Majesty, I only need enough food to feed the refugees for three months. Then, I can help the refugees rebuild their homes. At the same time, in three months, let our Great Tang soar and become ten times stronger.”
One sentence, Tang Tian's one sentence, instantly blew up the entire imperial court. All the officials looked at Tang Tian in disbelief. Not only could it solve the problem of refugees, but it could also make the Great Tang soar and become ten times stronger? Three months, how could this be possible?
Li Shi Min frowned. He was not angry at Tang Tian for boasting, but he was worried about him. To say something like that on such an occasion would affect him.
Even Li Shi Min started to think about how he could help Tang Tian cover up his words.
"Duke of Tang, this is not a good joke. Let's discuss a solution.”
Zhangsun Wuji stood up with a swoosh and gently pulled Tang Tian. Then, he looked at the court officials and said with a smile. Everyone understood what he meant. They would pretend that Tang Tian had never said anything.
Seeing how Zhangsun Wuji was so protective of Tang Tian, the courtiers were curious. How did this sly old man Zhangsun Wuji change so much?
"That's right, that's right. It's a child's joke. Don't take it seriously, everyone!”
Rare, it was simply unprecedented! Cheng Yaojin was actually on the same side as Zhangsun Wuji. The two of them were actually protecting one person together. This was simply something that had never happened before.
Everyone sighed in their hearts. What kind of person was this Tang Tian! Could he be the chosen one? To be able to obtain the protection of the Great Tang's generals and civil officials.
Tang Tian was helpless. Did everyone think that his words were impossible? However, this was the truth. If Tang Tian did not have the system, this would indeed be impossible.
With Cheng Yaojin and Zhangsun Wuji opening their mouths, the rest of the civil officials and generals began to laugh and change the topic.
Li Shi Min, who was sitting on the dragon throne, was extremely happy when he saw this scene. This was something he had dreamed of doing, but he did not expect it to be done inexplicably. Li Shi Min had always wanted his old subordinates to assist his son, whether it was Li Cheng Xin or Li Tai.
However, the only brothers who had truly followed him on the battlefield, apart from a few, was Zhangsun Wuji, who had chosen to assist Li Chenghao because he was Li Chenghao's uncle. The rest of the officials, especially Cheng Yaojin and the other generals, chose to remain neutral.
Let alone making them work together to assist one person.
He did not expect Tang Tian to actually do it. Tang Tian had basically saved the lives of all the soldiers on the battlefield at Weishui River. Even the terrifying divine might that Tang Tian displayed made them revere and worship him, which was why they had a good impression of him.
Tang Tian was the eldest son of Li Shimin and Empress Zhangsun! The real eldest son, the real Crown Prince of the Great Tang.
Just like Li Chenghao and Li Tai, he was Zhangsun Wuji's nephew. He immediately received the support of the civil servants.
In the future, when Tang Tian returned to his clan, he would become the second Li Shiming. He would obtain Li Shiming's old subordinates and continue to maintain the glory of the Great Tang.
How could Li Shi Min not be happy? One had to know that in the original history, after Li Cheng Xin and Li Tai were finished, only Li Zhi was left. He was worried that these old men would not be willing to assist Li Zhi, so in his later years, Li Shimin would clean up his old men and let them retire.
However, there was no need for that now. Tang Tian had yet to reveal his identity, but he had already begun to become someone who was taken care of by both the civil and military branches.
In the future, he would become the Emperor of the Great Tang that both the civil and military factions would support.
