I have already established my power and prestige, so how did Li Shimin come back to life?

Li Shimin exclaimed in surprise, his face full of disbelief. In the past, the richest battle he had fought had only earned him eight million coins!

He also understood the situation. To be honest, for such a battle, he would earn at most five million yuan.

Three million dollars is enough to fight!

Five million dollars is a sign of wealth!

Fang Xuanling looked at Li Shimin somewhat embarrassedly and continued, "Your Majesty, the Ministry of Revenue originally proposed a plan of five million taels, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince took one look at it and rejected it outright."

He paused, then imitated Li Chengqian's tone and said, "War is all about logistics. Without sufficient logistical supplies, how can we let the soldiers fight with peace of mind?"

"These are the Crown Prince's exact words."

Li Shimin listened to Fang Xuanling's words with a disdainful smile. He snorted and said, "Hmph, the old ones are still the wisest. Ask Old Cheng, ask Yuchi Jingde, and ask Li Ji. We didn't have any logistics when we fought the war back then. Didn't we still win?"

The other three nodded repeatedly, and Cheng Yaojin echoed, "That's right, Your Highness the Crown Prince still doesn't understand what a fierce general is!"

Yuchi Jingde slammed his hands on the table in excitement, shouting, "Logistics? What logistics? Who in the world doesn't know this? The King of Qin wields the bow, Yuchi Jingde wields the spear, who in the world can stop us? Why do we need to spend so much money?"

Li Ji glanced at the two brothers and agreed that they were right, but he could not erase the luxurious content of the imperial edict from his mind.

Li Shimin was delighted to hear these three old friends' flattery. He asked with a smile, "And then?"

Fang Xuanling looked at these old friends with tempers like children, and he didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He continued, "Since the Crown Prince felt it was not enough, the Ministry of Revenue began to increase the budget continuously. The first time it was increased to 10 million coins, the Crown Prince rejected it. The second time it was increased to 15 million coins, the Crown Prince rejected it. The third time it was increased to 20 million coins, the Crown Prince rejected it again!"

"Rejected the Ministry of Revenue's budget three times in one day!"

Hearing Fang Xuanling's words, Li Shimin laughed so hard that tears almost came out: "It seems that this kid doesn't have that much money and is playing tricks on the Ministry of Revenue!"

As he spoke, he completely forgot the imperial edict he had just read.

Cheng Yaojin and Yuchi Jingde also laughed along with Li Shimin.

Only Li Ji held the imperial edict tightly in his hand, frowned, and fell into deep thought.

Fang Xuanling glanced dimly at Li Shimin and his two good brothers.

Then he uttered a sentence word by word: "The prince asked Qin Ruzhao to take people to move for a whole day!"

"Move five thousand dollars to the Ministry of Revenue!"

As soon as Fang Xuanling said this, the whole table fell silent, as if time had stopped.

Li Shimin held onto the table, his eyes wide open, and muttered, "Jingde, Jingde, come and help me up! I'm afraid I've gone mad!"

When Yuchi Jingde heard Li Shimin calling him, he immediately stood up, but his legs gave way and he fell under the table. He shouted, "Your Majesty, it's over! We didn't hear it wrong!"

His face was full of regret and unwillingness.

"A full fifty million yuan for a war! Li Ji is getting a bargain! I, Yuchi Jingde, refuse to accept this!"

He shouted as he tried to get up.

"Isn't he just a Xueyantuo? How am I inferior to this brat Li Ji? No! I want to enter the palace! I want to enter the palace to see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince..."

"Oh, no! Your Majesty! Let Your Majesty fight this battle for me! Don't stop me!"

Although Yuchi Jingde's legs were weak, he still crawled towards the door firmly.

As he was crawling, Yuchi Jingde found that he could not move any further. He turned around with great effort and saw Cheng Yaojin holding his calf tightly. Cheng Yaojin said with a firm face: "Yuchi Jingde, I can't be a man! You can't fight!"

There was a gleam in his eyes.
