"Next, there is this maritime border country, and we will lead them to prosperity!"

"How to get there?"

"Steamer!"

As soon as his idea came out, everyone was shocked.

At the same time, everyone is eager to hear what he will do next.

Some people were even excited, eager to directly realize Li Chengqian's ideals.

"Erchen thinks that we can build a ship in the waters around the south of the Yangtze River, and send troops to station there, stretching to unknown places, to all corners of the world!"

Li Chengqian said.

At this time, Fang Xuanling asked:

"There is an end to the world, can the ship really get there?"

"At the end of the world is where this king stands! I'm here as well as the beginning, and I'm the end! ”

Li Chengqian's words are very mysterious, which makes people feel very wonderful, more like philosophy.

Because they didn't know that the earth was round, they took Li Chengqian as the starting point, circled the earth, and finally returned to the starting point.

Therefore, the beginning is also the end

But if you use other interpretations, it's different.

It started with Li Chengqian and ended with Li Chengqian.

That's how people react at first.

Du Ruhui asked, "His Royal Highness the Prince, how do you know the mystery of this?" ”

Li Chengqian pointed to his head and said, "Through here!" ”

His reply was a bit mysterious.

How is it his head?

Everyone doesn't know that what he has in his head is the civilization of an era, as long as he is there, the world is the Tang Dynasty and the Li family.

And Cheng Yanjin said: "I also want to try it, with the feeling of fighting with this big guy." It must be very exciting! ”

In his eyes, there is nothing but war.

The cannon just shot out, and the kind of exhilaration was vivid, and the men wanted to experience it.

"That's right. That's going to be a thrill! ”

Li Chengqian just said a word.

It's exciting.

Empress Eldest Sun interjected:

"If you make such a big thing, it will also consume a lot of national strength, right?"

The amount of resources consumed by a ship is enormous!

"Yes, the queen mother, but what is this consumption compared to what you get? Moreover, it can also stimulate domestic demand! ”

Where do people know what he's talking about, it's the economic stuff that's being said.

If the manufacturing industry is up, then the economy will also be pulled.

When people have a job to do, they make money.

When you make money, you will improve your life, of course, these are some of the simpler circuits, but in fact they are more complicated.

It was enough for Li Chengqian to tell them this.

What he said, Li Ke and they didn't know at all, as far as they knew, this ship was used for transportation, how did it become a weapon of war?

Li Shimin asked a crucial question at this time.

"What if the steamers are not at war? You can't keep them, can you? ”

"Your Majesty, when you are free, it can be transported, just like now, our iron ore is scarce, and this steamer can be used to transport a large amount of iron ore, and the efficiency can be increased by at least ten times!"

This was Li Chengqian's original intention, and as for the warship, he also thought of it later!

"So, it's a good thing indeed! Good! What are you going to do about this ship? ”

"A hundred in a year!"

Hundred! Everyone gasped, that's too much, right?

Li Chengqian's heart is very big, just a steamer will consume a lot of money, this hundred, doesn't it have to drag Datang back?

Li Shimin didn't say anything, but thought about it.

"Sun Qian!"

Li Shimin suddenly shouted.

Sun Qian is listed.

"Your Majesty, the minister is here!"

"Is the treasury full?"

"Back to Your Majesty, the treasury has been expanded five times, and it still can't put down all the money. It's going through the sixth expansion! ”

Sun Qian's words made people excited.

That is to say, this year's treasury revenue is more than five times that of last year. The space brought by each expansion is very huge, sometimes more than doubled, and even dozens of times together.

This is also something that people did not expect.

Li Shimin asked again:

"How much do you think it will cost to build a ship?"

Sun Qian thought for a while and said: "This steamer, the minister is involved in the manufacture, and it is mainly spent on manpower, but I heard that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has expanded the steam engine into the industry, so more than 100,000 yuan must be needed." ”

100,000 is equivalent to 100 million yuan, which is still the cost of manual accounting, if you want to purchase iron or something, it may be more than that.

"And how much do you think the treasury has?"

"Now the treasury has a cash flow of tens of millions of dollars! But this is only a year's income can not be put down, if it is next year, only a lot more! ”

So much?

Li Shimin is weighing the pros and cons.

If you spend too much money here, you need to spend less elsewhere.

Sun Qian did not say that it would cost a lot of money to build a railway.

But these are all deducted, and there is still so much money in the treasury.

The current Datang is very rich. Because if you want to develop, you have to do this. It doesn't work if the child can't trap the wolf, and if the horse runs and doesn't give the horse grazing.

Li Shimin was afraid of spending money, but Li Chengqian didn't care.

He said: "Your Majesty, even if there is no problem with this money, it can be made, and we can issue Tang debts." Lend money from the people of Datang, and then pay them back with interest. And if the money is not circulated, it is dead money, no matter how much you save, dead money will not work, and it must be used at a critical time to make the economy better. ”

Li Chengqian is another set of theories, but his theory is correct.

It's like if the economy is bad right now, the banks will cut interest rates to encourage people to take their money out and invest.

In this way, the sub-GDP will be higher and higher.

But they don't understand, so Li Chengqian can only use simple truths.

People don't know what to do with Tang debt? Li Chengqian had to explain again, and after a while, everyone understood what was going on!

Li Shimin listened.

"If that's the case, I'll believe you! It's up to you to choose and oversee it! ”

What Li Chengqian wants to do, he naturally has to do the best, if not, he can even use Zou Fengchi's card to come out.

After all, his firm now has a cash flow of tens of millions of dollars, to say the least.

If it expands, it may even be richer than the national treasury.

"Yes! Erchen has a candidate! ”

"Oh?"

"How about letting Li Su and Li Yun go?"

Li Shimin paused for a while, and then said, "Everything depends on you!" ”

It's a big credit for the two of them.

At this time, suddenly someone on the shore waved a flag, as if there was something to be found.

Li Chengqian ordered the ship to stop.

A moment later, the man got on the big steamer in a small boat.

As soon as he came up, he said, "Your Majesty, Tubo has sent a mission. ”。

When Li Shimin heard this, why did this Tubo come again?

"Okay, I know, let them stay in the palace, wait, wait for me to go back!"
