Chapter 371: Please come back
The excited Li Zhi was as excited as a child.
He immediately summoned Master Zhang, the commander of the Hundred Cavalry Division, and asked him to tell him in detail what was going on with the 100,000 Guan. Master Zhang had already found out first, and he answered the emperor's inquiries fluently.
"This Ruiqing is really a lucky general of mine, who would have thought that he could get more than 100,000 yuan at once. still used this method, did not deprive the people of a penny, but got 100,000 yuan for me. ”
Li Zhi didn't count the other 20,000 yuan, since Li Xiao said that it was dedicated to Concubine Chen, he naturally wouldn't rob the favorite woman's money.
100,000 is enough, enough for him to repair the Daming Palace.
Master Zhang had long known that the emperor did not like Li Xiao ordinarily, so he also took the opportunity to add a few words on the cake.
"The county does have a very good ability, originally a remote and desolate Haipu, but it can make him sell more than 100,000 yuan of stones, and after this plan, each family will enter, and within three years, Chishanpu is really likely to become a big port in the north, and then the tax revenue can increase a lot."
"Well, Ruiqing is always like this, and he often surprises me. If all the officials of my Tang Dynasty are like Ruiqing, why should I worry? If the prime ministers in the government hall were as capable as Ruiqing, I would be able to sit back and relax. ”
Master Zhang thought to himself, Your Majesty, you are too proud of Li Xiao, even if he can get some money, he can't just compare with the ministers under the Zhongshu Sect, if this word spreads, Li Xiao will not be jealous and hated to death by the ministers, don't think about returning to Chang'an City in the future.
"Zhang Qing, when will these 100,000 guan arrive in Chang'an?"
"It's already in Chang'an."
"What?" Li Zhi was shocked again, "How can it be so fast?" ”
Master Zhang had to explain to the emperor, "Li Xianzi's money is used in flying money, no need for carriages and horses, no escort, a few fast horses along the post station, very fast, can run hundreds of miles a day." ”
"Flying money?"
"That's right, it's a new thing in the Qian Zhuang under the name of Wuzhen Governor Chang'an Jinjuan."
After listening to the detailed explanation, Li Zhi sighed, "Sure enough, it's flying money, there is no need to escort it so troublesomely, those merchants in Chang'an deposited the money in Chang'an's bank, issued silver tickets, and then took the silver tickets to Chishan to trade." The hundreds of thousands of yuan that Li Xiao got were these thin silver tickets, and then he now asked a few people to easily bring these silver tickets to Chang'an, and exchange the tickets for money and silk, saving the burden of transportation, which is really good. ”
Li Zhi felt that the silver bills were somewhat similar to the bonds issued by the imperial court before, but they were obviously more convenient and conducive to circulation than bonds.
"Since the flying money has arrived in Chang'an, can it be exchanged immediately?"
"Yes, Qian Zhuang has received a letter from Li Xianzi, and Qian Zhuang can exchange those flying money at any time."
"So much money to redeem?"
"Your Majesty, the silver ticket issued by the money bank was originally issued according to the amount of money deposited by the merchant, and the silver ticket itself is actually just a voucher for saving money, so there is no need to worry about the problem of payment. It's just that this flying money is convenient, but it has to pay some formalities. ”
"It's normal to spend a little, it's nothing. Hurry up and let people exchange it, exchange all the money, I need it urgently. ”
On the same day, 120,000 guan flew money, and the money village of Wuzhenzhou Jinjuan gave it cash, and the cashing fee was one of the hundred, and the balance was 1,200 guan.
Boxes of copper coins, bundles of silk silk, silver collars of large ingots, and gold bars.
The money was soon transported into the emperor's inner treasury.
Li Zhi personally rushed over to check, opened the boxes one by one to see, and was delighted to see.
After reading it, he immediately summoned all the prime ministers of Zhongshu to come.
The prime ministers were still a little strange that the emperor summoned them to meet in the inner library, and of course, there were also well-informed people such as Li Ji, who already knew in advance why the emperor asked them to meet in the inner library.
Li Xiaogang sent 120,000 yuan to the emperor and Concubine Chen, which was a lot of money.
And this money was all obtained by Li Xiao in a short period of time, not a robbery or a tax increase, but the development of Chishanpu. Well, the word development is also said by Li Xiao.
What an amazing young man.
Li Ji and the prime ministers came to the inner library, and as soon as they entered, they saw the emperor who was smiling from ear to ear and showed his big white teeth, as well as boxes of gold, silver and copper coins, as well as mountains of silk silk.
"Didn't you say that it will cost 100,000 yuan to repair the Daming Palace, here is 100,000 yuan, take it, I will give you two more months to repair the Daming Palace, and then let the victims and craftsmen who worked return to their hometowns."
Yuwenjie, Li Yifu and others, who had not yet learned the news, were a little confused.
This is a treasury full of money.
100,000 runs, it's really not bad.
However, they still remembered very clearly before that the emperor's inner treasury was already empty, and it was almost able to run horses, why was it full now?
Could it be that the emperor sent someone to rob the treasury of the imperial court?
"Your Majesty, forgive your courage, where did your Majesty get all this money?"
Li Zhi glared at Yuwenjie, who was asking, dissatisfied, "Qing, as the prime minister, still came to ask me this question?" Don't you think you shouldn't? I entrusted all the state affairs to Yu Qing and others, but Qing Qing, as the prime minister, couldn't worry about the king, which really disappointed me. Now that I have money, you don't even know where it comes from? ”
One sentence made Yuwenjie's face flush, the emperor's words were really the harshest accusation. But he was powerless to refute that the prime minister was in charge of the country, and this financial plan was indeed their duty.
"Yuwen Xianggong, this money was obtained by Li Xiao. He made a trade port development plan in Chishan, Dengzhou, and raised more than 100,000 yuan, which is a legitimate way to come, Li Xiao is indeed very capable, and the old man and others are ashamed of themselves in this regard. It's really a new generation of people coming out, and the generation is stronger than the generation, I'm getting old. ”
Li Ji stood up at this time and paved the way for Yuwenjie, and a few self-deprecating explanations not only explained the origin of the money for everyone present, but also alleviated the embarrassment caused by the emperor's words.
"It turned out to be Li Xiao."
Hearing this name, all the prime ministers seemed to think that this matter made sense, and even normal. After all, Li Xiao is a recognized demon, others can't do it, but he can do it.
Li Ji said again, "Li Xianzi is indeed capable, and this time he has made new contributions." The old minister thought that such a capable official should be transferred to the court. The minister asked His Majesty to issue a decree to summon Li Xiao back to the court to appoint important posts. ”
Yuwenjie also said, "The minister thought that Li Xiao could be transferred back to the dynasty and awarded the post of household servant or Shaoqing of Taifu Temple." ”
Everyone knows that Li Xiao's visit to Baekje is not a promotion, but a temporary demotion from Beijing. Now the emperor's attitude makes everyone understand that the emperor is very satisfied with Li Xiao, since this is the case, it is better to simply push the boat down the river and transfer Li Xiao back.
What's more, Li Yifu simply said that he wanted Li Xiao to come back and be responsible for supervising the construction of Daming Palace, and those who have the ability to live there.
