Li Chengqian got Merton's guidance, where could he still sit still, simply ate a little, immediately resigned, and immediately went straight to the Mojia Village Bank.

"Post Station Communication System." In the bank, after Master Shen learned of Li Chengqian's intention, his eyes suddenly lit up.

"Yes, as long as this communication system is completed, it will not only benefit the government, but also benefit the people of the world, and please ask Master Shen to give advice." Li Chengqian bowed solemnly and said.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is polite, this is a matter for the benefit of the world, and the old man is naturally duty-bound." Shen Fuzi hurriedly supported Li Chengqiandao.

Now the Mojia Village Bank has been on the right track, all kinds of business in an orderly manner, he also happened to help Moton design the Mojia Village transport team system, it can be said that all the way, only need to expand its national application to the postal communication system.

"Communicate one day earlier, those wanderers in a foreign land can receive the letter one day earlier, and please ask Master Shen as soon as possible." Li Chengqian pleaded.

Shen Fuzi pondered for a moment and said solemnly: "At most, in three days, the old man will definitely send the recital." ”

"Okay, then the palace will wait for you for three days." Li Chengqian nodded and said, he can still afford to wait for three days.

Soon, the three-day period had arrived.

When Li Chengqian saw Shen Hongcai's performance in front of his case, he couldn't help but feel like he had a treasure, and immediately began to study, and tomorrow he was afraid that when he would have to face the questions of the ministers, he would answer them so well that he didn't even find out when he fell asleep.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, it's time to go to court." Li Chengqian was woken up from his sleep by his personal eunuch, and he only grabbed the song in his hand.

"Go to court!" Li Chengqian looked at the fold in his hand, and couldn't help but show a hint of firmness, today he wants to let the hundred officials know that he is not at their mercy.

In the Taiji Palace, hundreds of officials gathered.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the autumn levy has been collected, this is the specific statistical amount, please take a look at it with His Royal Highness the Prince!" The Ministry of Civil Affairs Shangshu Dai Xuan presented the recital.

Li Chengqian took a look at it, and saw that the tax had increased significantly compared with previous years, and couldn't help nodding secretly.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Qiqi, since the autumn endowment has been collected, and now that the treasury has been full, should the money and grain owed to various departments be allocated?" Fang Xuanling suggested on the side.

Li Chengqian nodded and said, "It should be so." ”

The six books of Shangshu couldn't help but rejoice in their hearts, they didn't collect the autumn tax before, and the finances were not rich, but they owed a lot of money and food to the six departments.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Qiqi, now it's time to serve in the conscription, and the construction of the brick road is also urgent, in addition, there is also the Weishui Bridge that the court has long discussed to be built under the auspices of the Mo family, and it needs a lot of money and food, and I ask His Royal Highness to use the seal." Zhang Liang, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, was the first to play, and when he served in the military service every year, the imperial court would have a large number of free labor, and this time was the best time to build a brick road, and the court only needed to pay the money to buy bricks, and the brick road could be built continuously.

The Weishui Bridge is the most important, and it is the first large-scale new bridge built by the imperial court.

Li Chengqian nodded, one of the bridges that must be built in the court of the Weishui Bridge has already been decided, once it is repaired, it can be said that it is of great significance to open up the northern passage of Chang'an, and it is a project that must be built.

"Zhang Shangshu, the Weishui Bridge is important, but it can't be completed overnight, I'm afraid I won't be able to use so much money and food for the time being, the old man has hundreds of officials here to distribute, I'm afraid this is the most urgent thing." Gao Shilian, the secretary of the ministry, said in a frank voice.

"Since the Ministry of Rites sent people into the Western Regions, it is related to the centennial plan ,..................。of the Tang Dynasty, and it is even more difficult to neglect it." The Ministry of Rites Shangshu Ling Hu Dedi was not to be outdone.

"All the soldiers protect their families and defend the country, and the salaries of the soldiers of the whole army are even slower for a moment, and now the weather is about to turn cold, and it is even more necessary to buy things for the northern soldiers to protect themselves from the cold in winter, and that is urgent." Hou Junji did not give in.

…………………………

In an instant, the entire court was in a mess, and the court officials who paid attention to etiquette in front of the people actually ignored etiquette at all, and they were arguing one by one, and they all tried their best to get more funds for their departments.

"The benefits of brick roads and bridges, no need to say more about the palace, everyone must have witnessed it with their own eyes, building bridges and paving roads, the merits of the present generation are beneficial in the future, and they should be fully supported, but the construction period of the Weishui Bridge is longer, and a part of it can be allocated first." Li Chengqian waved his hand.

Zhang Liang immediately bowed down and said, "Your Highness is wise! ”

Although the Ministry of Industry did not receive the funding for the Weishui Bridge, compared with his psychological expectations, it was already a lot more, and it was a credit to be able to build an extra section of brick road, and he retired with satisfaction at the moment.

After Li Chengqian allocated funds to the Ministry of Industry, he turned his head to look at his uncle and grandfather Gao Shilian on the side and arched his hand and said: "My Tang Dynasty is thriving, thanks to the conscientious work of hundreds of officials, and the income of hundreds of officials naturally cannot be shortage. ”

"Thank you His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for your size, and the old minister has thanked the hundred officials." Gao Shilian got the grant and retired satisfied.

"The people of the vertical and horizontal countries went to the Western Regions to participate in the grand event of Bowanghou, and they should be greatly rewarded ............." With a stroke of his pen, Li Chengqian approved the appropriation of the Ministry of Rites.

Subsequently, the appropriations of various departments of Datang were approved one by one, and although Li Chengqian did not meet all of his requirements, it was much more than in previous years, which made them overjoyed.

However, Dai Guan, who had been silently calculating the total amount of money and food, couldn't help frowning, and now the courtiers seemed to be satisfied with everyone, but the actual expenditure of the household department was a lot more.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, this is the money and food that I need at the Tang Station, and I ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for his permission." In the end, the driver in charge of the post station stood up with joy.

Li Chengqian not only agreed to most of the funds requested by various departments before, but also had a lot more than in previous years, which made Langzhong of the driving department quite happy, thinking that the trip would be extremely smooth.

When Li Chengqian heard this, his eyes couldn't help flashing with brilliance, and he took it and looked at it, and couldn't help frowning: "The post station needs so much money and food? ”

The driver Lang Zhong couldn't help but smile and said: "The post station is responsible for the food and lodging of the officials, as well as the feeding of the horses are a lot of consumption, and now the four-wheeled carriage is popular, and most of the post stations are still ordinary carriages, isn't it a loss of court etiquette, the post station specially invited the imperial court to purchase a batch of four-wheeled horses, in order to prepare for the officials to ride." ”

If Li Shimin was there, he would not have dared to make this request, but now that Prince Li Chengqian is in charge of the country, he has the courage to put it forward, and this move is also beneficial to the hundred officials, and he believes that he will definitely be able to get the support of the hundred officials.

When Li Chengqian heard this, he nodded and said, "In this way, there is some truth. ”

Lang Zhong of the driving department suddenly opened his eyebrows and smiled: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is wise. ”

"Dai Shangshu, how much grain is left in the Ministry of Civil Affairs now?" Li Chengqian asked.

Dai Xuan smiled bitterly and said: "Now that my Datang is using more and more money, except for the money and grain allocated by His Royal Highness, there is not much left in the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and I am afraid that I will not be able to allocate the money and food needed by the post station." ”

"Ahh Suddenly there was an uproar, and they looked at Li Chengqian incredulously.

"How is this possible?" The smile of the driving department Langzhong suddenly froze on his face, and the funds allocated by the other departments were very abundant, but when it came to his head, there was no more.

The other Shangshu all had strange faces, could it be that the extra money allocated to them was the cost of the post station?

The hundred officials immediately looked at Li Chengqian one by one, to see how he dealt with the crisis he had encountered just after he was imprisoned.
