Chapter 486: Not enough money
Wei Zheng stood up and said with a smile, in his opinion, this was a practice of deceiving the world and stealing his name, and he couldn't help but want to delete Cai Cong's name from the book.
"It's useless for Aiqing to say this to me, there are so many great talents up and down the academy, and no one opposes it, even if I give an order, I am just a villain in vain, you must not know, after the completion of each book, it must be sent to Cai Cong as soon as possible, and Cai Cong will personally finalize the draft, it is not too much to say that he is the editor-in-chief!"
Li Shimin said with a smile that there has never been such a huge work published since the Han Dynasty, which is also a kind of whitewash for Li Shimin, especially the people who repair books not only did not suffer persecution, but received his strong support, which is much better than the Han Dynasty.
"That's not the minister's, another day the minister invited Chang'an Hou to go to Taibai Mansion to drink and make a compensation."
Wei Zheng said lightly, and everyone shouted shamelessly in their hearts, but they were a little disappointed that they couldn't remove Cai Cong's name.
The disappointment of the people was not due to jealousy. Rather, it is out of deep concern. Cai Cong now has more and more power in the military circles, and it can even be said that his prestige in the military circles is chasing Li Jing. If he is allowed to gain greater fame in Confucianism, then in another ten or twenty years, Cai Cong will enter the center, and he will be an out-and-out minister, which is what everyone does not want to see.
Wei Zheng didn't know why Li Shimin didn't suppress Cai Cong, if he continued like this, even if Cai Cong had no ambitions, he would be raised by Li Shimin to be ambitious.
Thinking of this, Wei Zheng couldn't help but chuckle in his heart, if the sky wants to make it die, he must first make it crazy. Li Lao Er is raising Cai Cong as his uncle Duan so much!
Wei Zheng couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart. Lao Li's mind is too terrifying. At this time, Li Shimin. said lightly: "Do you still have something to start in the Qing family?" If it's all right, then retreat. ”
Fang Xuanling came out and said, "Your Majesty." Nowadays, the Buddha everywhere says that it is used to build roads. This year, it is estimated that no taxes will be paid into the treasury, and all the money and silver in the treasury will be used for repairing roads in the wilderness, so I am afraid that the treasury will be stretched thin next year! ”
After speaking, he looked at Li Shimin expectantly. Li Shimin's heart chuckled, this old boy is not a good person. You've hit my mind on my Inner Treasury. Is that private money good? It is intended to be used to repair the Daming Palace.
Li Shimin has never thought of giving up the construction of Daming Palace over the years, he has been looking for opportunities. I found some old men to write books and asked him to repair the affairs of Daming Palace. was recognized by Wei Zheng, and then planned to be stillborn. So he's been saving money now. I plan to wait until the fingernails leak a little and can be repaired, and then build the Daming Palace.
"In that case, what is the opinion of the Zhongqing family?"
Cement roads are a national policy. The stakes are high, and there must be no negligence. But the treasury must not be empty. Otherwise, if there are any natural or man-made disasters, I am afraid that we will be in a hurry. Li Shimin looked at everyone and asked in a majestic voice, he would never let this national policy go wrong.
As long as the road is built, in the future, Datang's soldiers and horses can reach any border of Datang at the nearest speed, and the divine soldiers will descend from the sky to defeat the enemy.
"The minister has already calculated, the silver in the treasury can probably last until June next year, of course, the minister has already put the income of Lingnan and Fusang this year, but it will last until the end of next year, and the money of Fusang and Lingnan will arrive, which will take half a year, and the minister is distressed but can't think of where to get such a large amount of money."
Duan Lun said with a bitter face, how long has he been rich! suddenly became a poor bastard again, and when he turned around, he had to find Dai Xuan to learn from him, at that time, the poor jingle sounded, how did he survive?
Dai Xuan looked at Duan Lun with a sympathetic expression, he was also so hard at that time, the Manchu Dynasty civil and military people reached out to ask for money, he almost didn't chop himself up as pork and sold it for money.
"Hmmm! This is a big problem, what can you do to solve it? Li Shimin looked at Fang Xuanling's eyes, and felt uncomfortable in his heart, but if he had no choice, he could only take out his private money, after all, he could still tell which was more important.
"The minister thinks that the reason why the treasury has this predicament is because His Majesty is so happy, if it is according to the Marquis of Chang'an, it will only take four years to divide the time between the north and the south, so that the first two years will fill the treasury with the taxes from the north, and the last two years with the taxes from the south will fill the treasury, isn't it beautiful?"
The household servant stood up and said loudly, Li Shimin's face was as black as carbon, pointing at the monk and scolding the bald man? But he is used to this kind of thing, and when he was arguing some time ago, he scolded even more fiercely, didn't he endure it?
"It's not proper, it's not proper, how can the decree be changed at will? For now, I want your ministers to think about where to find money, not how to change the decree. ”
Li Shimin forcibly suppressed the unhappiness and said, the evaluation in the history books is very different between the two years and the four years, Li Lao Er is a vain person, but now he is young and strong, and he can restrain himself, and when he gets older, he will expose his nature.
"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that there are only two ways to do it now, one is to owe the Cai family caravan and the students of the academy the materials to be paid, and the other is to take out the money from His Majesty's inner treasury, and there is no other way." Fang Xuanling stood up and said lightly, in fact, there is another way to borrow from Cai Cong, but the face of the court is gone, at that time, borrowing hundreds of thousands of yuan made the officials of the court and China want to commit suicide in shame, and now to borrow it, he Fang Xuanling would rather die than open this mouth.
He was reluctant to speak, and Li Lao Er was also silent, it was absolutely impossible to be in arrears, and the court owed students to eat or not? What if the Cai family caravan owes the wages of the people? Just asked him to take out the money himself, how did he think about it? So he remained silent and did not speak.
If he doesn't speak, everyone won't speak, anyway, the money will always come out, it's not that it's okay if you don't speak, you can do it yourself!
"Ahem...... It's not that I can't give up this money, it's just that ......"
"Since Your Majesty is willing to be a minister, thank Your Majesty on behalf of all the people of the world."
Wei Zheng was much more courageous than Fang Xuanling, and he didn't give Li Shimin an excuse, he knelt on the ground and thanked him, Li Shimin almost didn't suffocate with a depressed breath in his chest, and looked at Wei Zheng angrily with big eyes.
"In that case......
"Your Majesty, the official sent by the Taiyuan Assassin Shi asked to see him, saying that he had something to report." At this time, the Imperial Guards walked in and bent down and said.
"Bastard, don't you see this official and His Majesty discussing big things? Just let him wait. ”
Fang Xuanling scolded angrily, Li Shimin waved his hand and said with a smile: "Xuanling doesn't need to be angry, Xu Jingzong is not the kind of person who doesn't know the seriousness, since he sent someone into Beijing, let him in." ”
"The little minister Li Tian pays a visit to my emperor." A handsome young man walked in quickly, bent down and said to Li Shimin.
"Excuse me! I remember that you were a student who traveled to Taiyuan with Cai Cong, and now you are working under Xu Jingzong. How about it, do you want to go back to Chang'an and do things for me with Chu Moxuan and them. ”
