"As long as life is good, there will be people willing to live in the Northwest, and naturally there will be strong horses in the future."
Emperor Xuanming listened to him speak so much and could not help but doubt his intentions, only saying, "The current Northwest is your fief; you should understand the situation well. To develop it is by no means an easy task, and who knows how many years it will take to solve the current predicament."
"Father, I was thoughtless." Li Chongjin did not argue but quickly showed weakness. "If we need to purchase horses, it must be done before Beirong notices."
"You are right, I also intend to send people to the Western Regions to buy horses," Emperor Xuanming said straightforwardly.
Li Chongjin had no particular reaction, only replied yes.
"What? Are you unhappy about abandoning the Northwest?"
"I dare not." When Emperor Xuanming bluntly asked, Li Chongjin quickly knelt down but a trace of hesitation flashed across his face.
