"You want it?".

As soon as he heard that Li Shimin didn't want money, but directly started the idea of the coal mine, Li Chengyang was happy.

Li Shimin feels that the problem is not so simple: "If coal really has the effect you said, it must be a major event for the benefit of the country and the people, and such a major event, of course, it should be state-owned."

Li Chengyang nodded: "Dad, what you said is right."

Seeing Li Chengyang cooperate so much, Li Shimin's tone gradually relaxed:

"You don't have to worry, none of you should be rewarded, isn't your fief still unsettled, I will instruct the Ministry of Rites and let them find you a rich place."

Li Chengyang frowned in disgust.

Are you going to send him away? Isn't it a matter of time before the fiefdom is issued, and it will be sent down some time in advance as a reward?

Besides, he is the crown prince, and fiefs are of no use at all.

Until he succeeded to the throne, he was a distant fief, and on the surface he was the owner of the fief, but in fact he may not be able to go there for the rest of his life.

All he could really get was the offerings of some people.

Of course, there is not much to go there, and it would be nice to have a thousand people to feed.

How much can a thousand people pay? Xiaofu's life is enough, but for the current Li Chengyang, it is not even a dime.

Li Shimin saw that Li Chengyang did not react, and his heart tightened.

He also knows that what he is doing is not authentic, but what can be done, there are too many places where Datang is short of money now.

Not to mention anything else, his palace has not been repaired since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, and many uninhabited places are comparable to the land temple outside.

If coal is as important as salt and grain, then he must hold it in his hands no matter what.

"How about you listen to the government?" , Li Chengyang did not react, and Li Shimin could only increase the chips.

Li Chengyang patted his head: "Dad, are you rewarding me or punishing me, don't you know my temperament?" ”。

The corners of Li Shimin's mouth twitched, allowing the prince to listen to politics was already the biggest reward he could think of.

"Then you say what you want, as long as you open your mouth, then I will promise you all if I can", Li Shimin decided to make a bloody investment.

Li Chengyang paced a few steps with his hands behind his back: "I want my parents to be happy and live a long life."

"Shaft, I'm serious with you", Li Shimin stood up from the desk and stared at Li Chengyang's ass and feet.

Li Chengyang hehe: "You still know that it's serious, it's your joke first."

Li Shimin pointed at Li Chengyang, his face flushed: "If you can't give a reason today, don't think about going out this month."

helped Li Shimin back to the desk and sat down, but he stood up and changed his stern expression:

"Dad, do you think you can really put the coal matter in the hands of Datang?"

"Of course, I am the Ninety-Five, if you say one thing or another, will anyone dare to disobey what I say?"

"What about the Maison?".

"It's ......".

"What about the nobles, what if they want to do the coal business?"

"It is impossible for them to disobey my orders."

"What about the people, coal is not as good as salt, as long as you look for coal carefully, you can always find it, what if they dig it up and sell it?"

"I catch one by one, and no one dares to sell it if I catch it", Li Shimin didn't believe what he said.

After asking these words, Li Chengyang hugged his arms and stopped talking.

Li Shimin wanted to make coal into an official camp to make a lot of money.

It makes sense, Li Chengyang wants to do the same, but he can't do it.

It is impossible for the family not to nibble on such a big piece of cake, Li Chengyang dares to guarantee that no matter how harsh Li Shimin's holy decree is, the family will still do what they should do.

Then there are the nobles, Lao Cheng and their gang.

Who doesn't love money? Maybe Lao Cheng and they will not come to participate, but there are so many people, there is always someone who comes to beg Li Shimin to secretly open an opening.

This thing is an objective law, and no one can change it, who makes the brotherhood between them and Li Shimin so deep.

Then there are the people, there are not many open-pit coal mines, but there are also a lot, as long as you concentrate on looking for them, it is easy to find.

People don't want to spend money, so they pick it up from outside, and when they pick it up, they take it back to the village or something to sell, can this be cut off?

No matter which of these three aspects goes wrong, the matter of government-run coal will come to naught.

Needless to say, the families will be able to compete with the government once they move, and they will attack the coal mine, and it is estimated that Li Shimin will really not be able to do them.

There are one and two nobles, and not all of them can keep their hearts.

Once a few of them run the coal mine, what will Li Shimin do?

Killed? With the hearts of all the nobles, he broke his foundation, and he could no longer raise his head in front of the family.

Don't kill? If you don't kill them, wouldn't you watch them get bigger and bigger?

As for the people, not to mention, can they be caught?

Therefore, the time is not yet ripe for coal to be taken over to the official camp.

Historically, the official camp of salt and iron was only implemented after Wu Zetian, in order to raise funds to suppress the Anshi Rebellion.

"And what do you say you want to do?" , Li Shimin was not angry anymore, his face was full of decadence.

He also knows what Li Chengyang said, but there is always some luck.

Tens of millions of dollars a year, or even hundreds of millions of crafts, who wouldn't be tempted.

Li Chengyang smiled and slowly spit out two words at Li Shimin: "Collect taxes!" ”。

"Collect taxes?" , Li Shimin muttered, and then shook his head.

"No, if I could collect taxes, I would have collected them a long time ago."

Now there is no tax on salt, and the founding of the Tang Dynasty did not talk about salt tax, Li Shimin once said in front of the Manchu Dynasty civil and military personnel, this is called "hiding wealth from the people".

He doesn't know if the people are rich or not, but the families are definitely rich.

I knew how hard I knew that when I first showed signs of tax collection, I was met with a fierce counterattack, so I had to give up.

"Why?" , Li Chengyang asked.

Li Shimin touched his chin and thought about it: "How many years have the family been in the salt industry, they have never paid taxes, and now they are trying to get money from them, and it is even more difficult."

Li Chengyang nodded clearly, that is, the family is used to eating alone, and now they want them to hand it over, but they are not happy.

"Dad, they have been doing the salt thing for hundreds of years, so they refuse to pay taxes, which is almost in the past",

Li Chengyang hehehe, hey, continued:

"But coal is our family's, of course, we can't stop them from learning from us to sell coal, but they can't stop us from collecting our own taxes."

Emerging things will always take some detours in the early stage, and the root cause is that everyone is not familiar with emerging things.

Now Li Chengyang plans to take advantage of this, coal, it's me, it's made by the prince of the Tang Dynasty, do you want to sell it? No problem, you score me.

Li Shimin's eyes lit up, and Li Chengyang's statement made him suddenly realize.

I drilled the horns before.

Yes, my son made the coal, and I collect my son's taxes, so you can't stop it.

Since my son has handed it over, of course those of you who follow my son's example should also teach it by the way.

But after a while, Li Shimin shook his head again, sighed and said:

"It's still not good, whether those people in the family know the profits in it or not, it's difficult to get money out of their hands."

The style of the family, no matter what, first catch it in their hands, even if it is a lump of poop, they must first study and study it carefully, and then throw it into their own thatched house.

Whatever the matter, ask for money? No.

Say you want to collect taxes? Whatever it is, don't even listen to it, first put up the banner of opposition.

After the fact, I slowly pondered whether things were in my favor.

If it is advantageous, cut off the big flag and wave a bigger flag to support it.

It's all this virtue, and Li Shimin is used to it.

It is said that coal should be taxed, then the family must be the first to come out and oppose it, no matter what, just oppose it first.

Li Chengyang shook his head: "Think about it carefully, this matter can still be operated."

"Impossible", Li Shimin replied with great affirmation: "Unless you hold them, don't think they have any exchange."

"Really, it's still a little bit possible," Li Chengyang insisted.

Li Shimin wanted to continue to shake his head, but suddenly seemed to react to something, and the gaze in his eyes suddenly became sharp:

"Are you saying you have a way to control the family?"

Li Chengyang smiled and nodded: "I have already asked the people of the Ice Control Division to go to various places and take my tokens to various places to buy coal mines."

"Including the Maison?" , Li Shimin stood up and pulled Li Chengyang's shoulders excitedly.

Li Chengyang nodded: "The most important thing is the open-pit coal mines on the territory of various families, and now that the letter has been sent, there must be some close ice control divisions that have begun to take action."

Li Shimin's eyes rolled: "Bold, you dare to transfer the imperial court officials without my consent."

This is to settle accounts with him, Li Chengyang rolled his eyes.

Why did he turn his face and deny it, punished him Li Chengyang, and then put the people of the Ice Division under his hands, so that the coal mines were not all his Li Shimin's.

"Dad, now that the Ice Control Division has begun to rest, the officials of the Ice Control Division can rest for half a year", Li Chengyang said with a smile holding his arms.

"Come on, pass on my order, the coal mines around Chang'an will be changed to never be traded", and another plan was made if it failed.

After finishing speaking, he returned to his desk, turned out a blank holy decree with a large stroke, and finally printed a large seal, and arranged for someone to send it to the Chang'an County Order and the Wannian County Order.

"From now on, this coal mine is not allowed to be bought and sold? Haha", after doing all this, Li Shimin breathed a sigh of relief and laughed at Li Chengyang.

Li Chengyang smiled even happier than him.

Before Li Shimin wrote the holy decree, he went up and glanced at it, and the more he looked at it, the happier he became.

"What are you laughing at", Li Shimin looked at Li Chengyang, who was out of breath and laughing with his waist crossed, and his heart began to feel a little bad.

"Son-in-law Xie Father Emperor Longen, hahaha", there was another burst of laughter, and then he took out a few title deeds from his chest and showed them to Li Shimin.

Li Shimin's eyes were about to pop out, and now he lifted a stone and hit himself in the foot.

The decree has been issued, and it is basically impossible to take it back.

I dug a pit and buried myself, and after burying it, I let Wanma gallop on the pit again, and basically don't want to turn over forever.

"Come on", I'll talk about the angry things later, and now try to make amends.

The guards outside the door came in and clasped their fists and waited for Li Shimin's order.

"Go and tell Duan Zhixuan to send the Xuanjia Army to set off lightly, and within fifteen days, all the black stone mines in Datang will be collected by me."

"Dad, you'd better buy it, believe me, that's right", Li Chengyang pulled Li Shimin's sleeve and suggested.

"Then buy it, bring me enough money to go, I don't want to hear the news of failure", Li Shimin thought about it and immediately changed his order.

The guards took the order and left, Li Shimin rolled up his sleeves and looked at Li Chengyang viciously.

Pick up a vase from the side.

"Shaft, die".
