More than 10 million yuan, so much money, how many things can be done?

Several of the most powerful ministers of the empire and His Majesty Li Er looked at each other, all of them were shocked by the news and were a little silent, not knowing what to say.

Fang Xuanling didn't know whether to be pleased with his son's ability to make money, or to complain that his son was too good at tossing and not worrying about himself for a moment. The so-called Mu Xiu will be destroyed by the forest wind, and it has already aroused jealousy to serve as the head of the road before the weak crown, and now he has made such an outrageous thing, hasn't he become a rafter who has come out?

Datang is rich, and the savings and wealth of many families are not necessarily less than 10 million yuan, but 10 million yuan of cash is absolutely impossible for anyone to come up with. Don't you see that even the emperor's eyes are red?

It's not necessarily a good thing to have power over the world, too many people are jealous of you, and they all want to bring you down and share your rights.

The same is true for the rich world......

The Fang family does not need so much money, which is the root cause of trouble, not the root of the heirloom.

Do you want to persuade your son to donate the money? The drainage ditch of Chang'an City has been dredged before, which has provoked the people of Chang'an to applaud and praise each other, and the prestige and reputation of the son of the evil have risen a lot. So what's next? Is it to widen and consolidate all the roads in Guanzhong?

But this must not cost much money, more than 10 million yuan, I'm afraid that even if the road is repaired from Chang'an to Jiaozhou, it will not be used up.

Why don't you reinforce the Great Wall in the north?

Fang Xuanling found that even if his son listened to his persuasion and really donated the money, he didn't know where to spend it.

Fortunately, Fang Jun didn't know what his father was entangled at the moment, otherwise he would definitely laugh at the fact that the first assistant of the current dynasty had too narrow vision, how could the money not be spent? For example, you can put tiles on the Great Wall and spend the money in minutes......

Li Ji pondered for a long time, and said, "Your Majesty, I heard that Huating Town has opened an iron mine in Jiangnan and established a mine?" ”

His Majesty Li Er looked at Fang Xuanling.

The reason why Fang Jun was surrounded in Niuzhuji and almost lost his life was precisely because he discovered an iron mine on the Nanshan Mountain not far from Niuzhuji and set up an iron-making plant. But he didn't know what the scale or output was.

Fang Xuanling sighed in his heart, look at it, it's not a good thing to have more money, even Li Ji, who has always been low-key, began to fight his own idea......

Seeing everyone's eyes, he had no choice but to say: "There is indeed such a thing, but the specific scale is unknown." ”

No one doubts the authenticity of these words, let alone thinks that Fang Xuanling is pushing.

Fang Xuanling has first-class intelligence and excellent ability, but he is not good at the way of farming, if it weren't for Fang Jun's vigorous efforts in the past few years to make the Fang family's property skyrocket, the Fang family is poor and sour, and has always relied on His Majesty's reward to live......

With such a temperament, he would never pay attention to his son's business.

However, Li Ji does not intend to let go of the opportunity to rip off the bamboo.

He smiled slightly, and said to His Majesty Li Er: "Although I don't know the scale of the Nanshan mine, but the Marquis of Huating first circled no less than hundreds of thousands of acres of mountainous land in the Nanshan area, and then built a large number of civil works to build the wharf of Niuzhuji, and the craftsmen and laborers recruited from Guanzhong have a big ship to transport to the Nanshan mine almost every month, and the output is very amazing. What is particularly obvious is that when Huating Hou was trapped in Niu Zhuji, it was difficult to create hundreds of armor riding equipment in a few days, which shows that the Nanshan mine not only has an amazing output, but also has many excellent craftsmen. ”

His Majesty Li Er blinked, not understanding Li Ji's intentions, but his face was not good-looking.

Could it be that you asked someone to snatch the Nanshan Mine from Fang Jun's hands?

I can't afford to lose that person!

Robbing the property of a courtier and son-in-law, do you want to make a certain model for the eternal king?

Li Ji didn't seem to notice His Majesty Li Er's displeasure, and continued: "Your Majesty, Tugu is ready to move, the ambitions of the Tibetan wolf, and even the Turks are resurrecting in the Western Regions!" Although our Tang soldiers swore to defend their homeland and country to the death, the troops lacking cavalry could only resist with flesh and blood when facing the cavalry charge. Fight for your country. The horse leather shroud is the glory of our soldiers, but so many loyal and enthusiastic tigers have to sacrifice in vain under the hooves of foreign horses, how tragic? Weichen asked His Majesty to increase the number of equipment equipped with iron cavalry in the army, and to use cavalry against cavalry, so that the Tang Tiger Ben could shed less blood, even if it was death, let the sons and daughters die on the way to charge, instead of being divided and surrounded by foreign cavalry and brutally slaughtered! ”

What Li Ji said was a sincere and touching person, which fully embodied the excellent qualities of a military secretary who was loyal to the country and cherished his subordinates.

But Fang Xuanling wanted to curse when he heard it......

Li Ji's intention has been undisguised to increase the number of iron cavalry in the army, but where does the armor come from? Although the treasury of the Tang Dynasty is becoming more and more abundant, everything is preparing for the upcoming Eastern Crusade, and it is absolutely impossible to draw more money to build armor and cavalry equipment.

Since Fang Jun's Nanshan Iron Works can produce hundreds of iron riding equipment in a few days, why not buy a large number of them from Fang Jun? As for the money for the purchase of equipment, you can pay it on credit first, and then pay it back when the imperial treasury is sufficient, anyway, Fang Jun has money, and it is not bad......

Fang Xuanling was very unhappy.

It's not that he is reluctant to give money, but he took the initiative to donate it and was calculated and had to take it out, how can he be the same day?

Lao Fang snorted and said, "The dog is deeply favored by His Majesty, and he should do his best to serve his family and country." It's just that now the dog is bent on preparing for the construction of the city's Bo Division, the formation of the Royal Sailor, the development of Huating Town, and the construction of the Sailor School, the Manufacturing Bureau and other facilities. Stabilizing Jiangnan and integrating Jiangnan is the most important event at present, if the situation in Jiangnan is turbulent because of the arrears of money and grain to the Jiangnan Shi clan, and the preparation for the establishment of the city division and the formation and training of the royal sailors are delayed, will it not delay His Majesty's plan to go east? There is an urgency, and at present, the alien races in the northwest are still stable, and they should go all out to pass through the south of the Yangtze River. ”

Lao Fang didn't mean to go against Li Ji, his pattern was far from being so inferior. At present, the center of the imperial court is indeed constantly tilting to the east, and the conquest of Goguryeo is not only the dream of His Majesty Li Er, but also the ambition of everyone in the Tang Dynasty!

Stepping on that land that has never been conquered, His Majesty Li Er can certainly become the first emperor of the ages who is proud of the past and the present, comparable to Qin Shi Huang, who dominates the world, how can these civil and military generals not be brilliant and famous for centuries?

The status has reached their level, power, money, beautiful women, everything is more important than the color that cannot be left in the history books.

Li Ji disagreed: "The prime minister is wrong. The Eastern Crusade is the national policy, and we must go all out to succeed in the first battle, but at the same time, we must also give a strong deterrent to the Western Regions countries and the Tibetan barbarians, so as to completely suppress them, so as not to act rashly during our Eastern Crusade. Otherwise, if the two fronts go to war and suffer from the enemy on the back and back, they will definitely be overwhelmed and lose one at the expense of the other. Equip the cavalry with enough equipment and iron horses, no need to hit a real sword and a real gun, as long as it is not pulled out and slippery, it will inevitably subdue the barbarian Hulu, and the empire can go all out to the east without worries. ”

One proceeds from the perspective of internal affairs and the other from the perspective of military affairs, each with its own reasoning.

The eldest grandson Wuji said: "What the British public said is reasonable, if it can't deter the barbarians of the Western Regions, causing it to take advantage of the weakness when the empire is going all out to conquer the east, it will inevitably suffer heavy losses, and even the country will be turbulent, and it will be too late to regret it." ”

Hmph, Fang Jun, can't you make money?

Then give more to the Empire......

Fang Xuanling glanced at the eldest grandson Wuji, scolded in his heart, and said: "What the British Duke and Zhao Guogong said is reasonable, but the old minister is not careful, and I hope Your Majesty will not blame you." However, the scale of our iron works is limited, and the output is even more limited, which I am afraid will delay the deployment of the British government. The world's iron factory, headed by the eldest grandson's family, is several times larger than my family, if it can be forged by the two families together, it will inevitably be faster, and it can deter the barbarians of the Western Regions as soon as possible, and go all out to the east. ”

Since you are an old boy who fell into a well and had a bad heart, then don't blame the old man for dragging your family into the water!
