It's not the first time Li Shimin has fooled the minister, so his expression can be said to be impeccable.

"This idea of 'One Belt, One Road' was put forward by me and implemented by the prince, and you can also put forward any ideas if you have any ideas!"

“……”

At this time, the Manchu Dynasty and the military capital were still in a state of confusion and coercion, how could they have any opinions?

But if he didn't say anything, he seemed too uninformed, so an official stood up and arched towards Li Shimin.

"Weichen thinks that the idea of the 'Belt and Road' is very good, and it is similar to the education of the saints!"

With those who took the lead, others also stepped forward.

"I am a big country in the Tang Dynasty, and it is a benevolent and righteous move to help my subject country!"

"Your Majesty and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will definitely produce it in the future, and it will be honorable to be a minister!"

"Yes, yes, Weichen thinks the same way!"

In the blink of an eye, the ministers of the court began to sing praises, and seeing this scene, the official surnamed Liu, who had stood up to question before, also silently retreated.

At this time, although Li Shimin's face was calm, his heart was already happy.

"I didn't expect to stop these guys all of a sudden, it seems that this Belt and Road is really powerful, and when Da Lang comes back, I'm asking him what he means."

Thinking of this, Li Shimin suddenly hoped that Gao Ming would come back soon.

But Li Shimin is destined to be disappointed, because this "Belt and Road" is actually just Gao Ming's rote memorization in order to test current affairs, and he doesn't know what it means.

And more importantly, at this time, Gao Ming had long forgotten about it, and he was busy carrying out a "big sweep" in the Goguryeo Imperial Palace.

"All the gold and silver, pearls and gems were loaded into my cart and taken away...... Hey, I want the bronze too, and the coral next to the screen, I'm going to take it with me, be careful not to break it......"

Although Gao Ming likes to delegate power and advocates that "those who work hard govern people, and those who work hard govern people", he still prefers to do things like raiding his own homes.

Therefore, Cheng Yanjin, Li Ji and others continued to lead their troops to advance southward, while Gao Ming stayed in Pyongyang to light the spoils of war.

Although Goguryeo has risen and fallen several times, it is also a dynasty that has existed for hundreds of years, and there is naturally a lot of inventory.

In addition, after Gao Ming took Pyongyang, he immediately blocked the palace and prevented anyone from entering or leaving, which also effectively prevented the outflow of property.

After a few days of inventory, Gao Ming found that the value of the property in the Goguryeo palace was as high as tens of millions, which made Gao Ming's eyes suddenly light up.

"No wonder everyone is a cannon with a golden tael, this can be true, the harvest of the Goguryeo Palace alone is worth the return ticket price of this expedition!"

Gao Ming led the troops to the expedition this time, and his soldiers were about 600,000, more than 100,000 laborers, and he brought 5 million quintals of grain and grass, plus horses and vehicles, etc., calculated that the money he needed to consume on this expedition was at least nearly 4 million, which was equivalent to the total tax income of the Tang Dynasty in the previous year.

In fact, before Gao Ming came to Datang, Li Shimin was frugal, and he could only save more than one million yuan a year.

That is to say, under normal circumstances, if Li Shimin organizes an expedition of this scale like Gao Ming now, he needs to save about a year's money.

And this is still in the case of no natural disasters**, otherwise this time will have to be extended.

In fact, Gao Ming's expedition this time not only spent all the money he had saved this year, but also used the commercial taxes collected by Jinzhou and Chang'an, and even Li Shimin's money stored in the treasury was taken out.

It can be said that Gao Ming is desperate, assuming that he does not win, then at least for two years, he will not have the strength to fight Goguryeo again.

But the assumption is only the assumption after all, and now he can collect the spoils of war in the Goguryeo palace, which means that he has taken the right step!

"The property of the Goguryeo Palace is about 10 million guan, and in addition to the money spent on this expedition, it has also earned millions of guan, which is enough for the development of the Tang Dynasty in a few years!"

Thinking of this, the corners of Gao Ming's mouth couldn't help but smile.

"If you don't know how expensive firewood and rice are, Datang is in need of money."

Just when Gao Ming was secretly rejoicing, Meng Xin, who was dressed in armor, walked in from outside, and then whispered in Gao Ming's ear.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, the concubine has led people to raid those Goguryeo nobles in Xicheng, a total of more than fifty have been copied, and the property obtained is about two million."

Hearing Meng Xin's words, Gao Ming immediately gasped.

"Shhh...... This Goguryeo aristocracy is much more ruthless than our Tang Dynasty aristocrats, and they actually looted so many people's fat and people's ointment? ”

Speaking of this, Gao Ming immediately showed an angry face.

"What I hate most is these corrupt officials and corrupt officials, Xin'er, the nobles of Dongcheng have also been handed over to you, clean them up for me, and Nancheng, as long as it is a high-ranking family, don't let it go!"

"Yes!"

Meng Xin agreed and went down, and after she left, Gao Ming called Huzi in front of him again.

"Huzi, I have counted out more than 100 boxes of belongings here, and I have already asked people to send them to be loaded on the ship, I want you to personally escort them back to Luoyang, and then send them to Tiance Mansion in Luoyang, can you do it?"

Hearing Gao Ming's words, Huzi immediately nodded.

"Yes!"

Seeing that his answer was categorical, Gao Ming smiled and patted him on the shoulder.

"Okay, then I'll leave this matter to you, the boat will stop in the bay next to Pyongyang City, you bring dozens of more bows and crossbows when you go, pay attention to safety along the way, go!"

"Yes!"

Huzi agreed, left the Goguryeo palace, and rode in the direction of the steamship.

After the tiger left, Gao Ming let out a long sigh, and then looked into the distance.

"Goguryeo has been defeated, I believe that in less than a month, Baekje and Silla will also submit, and when the time comes, as long as the country is united into one place, and then a puppet comes out, I can go home, but who should choose this puppet?"

As soon as Gao Ming thought of this, he heard the sound of the guards coming from outside the door.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, Queen Jindeok of Silla Kingdom came with her entourage and wants to meet His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

Queen Jindeok of Silla Kingdom?

Hearing this news, Gao Ming's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Let her in!"

"Yes!"

After the soldiers went out, Gao Ming immediately turned around with his back, and his mind was still thinking about how Li Shimin usually pretended and forced in the imperial study.

"Move slowly, have a blank face, and half-open and half-closed eyes, and think that the whole world owes me money, and Queen Jindeok of Silla also owes me money, and she owes a lot of ......"

While Gao Ming was muttering, a young woman in full costume walked in accompanied by the guards, and after coming to Gao Ming, the guards hurriedly clasped their fists and saluted him.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, Queen Silla here!"

Hearing his words, Gao Ming immediately turned around and looked at Queen Silla with the eyes of Hwang Se-in looking at Yang Bailao.

"Your name is Zhende, right? When will the money you owe me be paid? Well? ”

Queen of Silla: "......"
