Chapter 349: Jiangnan Journey (1)

The next day. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Transporting the silver taels to the palace, Luo Yi and Luo Tong saw the shelves in the imperial study.

Looking at the white silver, Li Shimin closed his mouth happily, and secretly sighed how wise his decision-making was, the State Chamber of Commerce is really a big tree that shakes money.

"All the money will be transported to the household department and stored in the warehouse."

"Yes."

Li Shimin gave an order, and the two teams of Yulin soldiers left the imperial study with the boxes.

There are only three people left in the room, Luo Yi, Luo Tong, and Li Shimin, oh yes, there are two little eunuchs.

Luo Yi arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, now that the National Chamber of Commerce is on the right track, the people have taken money to the National Academy of Commerce to deposit and withdraw, and they all praised the emperor for his wisdom and credibility." ”

"yes, I didn't expect that."

"Yes."

Luo Yi said: "The Baixin people are very willing to deposit the money in their hands to the National Chamber of Commerce, which shows that they trust the National Chamber of Commerce very much, and at the same time, they also trust the emperor, knowing that the emperor will never fail the people." ”

Li Shimin smiled and said to a eunuch next to him: "Come here, give me a seat." ”

"Your Majesty."

Luo Yi and Luo Tong sat down.

Li Shimin said: "Luo Tong, you tried your best to escort you, and your contribution is indispensable, and I am very relieved." ”

"It's all the duty of a minister."

Luo Yi said: "With this money, the emperor will no longer have to worry about money in the future, and if there are natural and man-made disasters and border military disasters, he can let it go." ”

Li Shimin said: "Yes, the recent drought in the Northern Desert, the people are hungry, miserable, all the tribes are ready to move, there is a comeback into the Central Plains, Boer Khan asked to play, let me transfer food to the Northern Desert, in order to alleviate the suffering of the Northern Desert, I Tu was quick to speak, and I promised him 300,000 quintals; In the past few days, the court has been opposed, and I have also made a difficulty. ”

"Hehe... Now, with your three million taels of silver, isn't it easy to adjust food, I see what the ministers have to say. ”

Luo Yi hadn't heard of this, but at this time, Luo Yi's intuition was like heaven's help, he was about to go to Jiangnan, but he didn't expect to have a new errand soon.

Luo Tong said: "Your Majesty, 300,000 quintals of grain is not a small amount, and it is not surprising that hundreds of officials oppose it. ”

Li Shimin said: "But the Northern Desert has been surrendered, and it is also the people of my Datang, how can I ignore the drought in the Northern Desert?" Doesn't that force them to rebel? ”

"Besides, I have already promised the Khan of the Northern Desert to transfer 300,000 loads of grain to him, and Chrysostom has been opened, how can I go back?"

"The emperor has already spoken, of course he can't go back."

Luo Yi said: "But 300,000 quintals of grain is not a small amount, even if the Chang'an granary is available, after the call, it will be stretched, once there is any accident, or where the grain needs to be used, how can it be good." ”

"Yes, this is exactly what I am worried about, it is easy to take out 300,000 loads of food, but it will be difficult to deal with the aftermath."

Luo Yi smiled, looked confident, and arched his hand: "Your Majesty, if the emperor can trust his ministers, the ministers are willing to go to Jiangnan and collect 300,000 loads of grain for the emperor, so as to make up for this vacancy." ”

"I have heard that Jiangnan is the granary of the world, and there are not a few grain merchants who want to come, and after the ministers go, they must negotiate with them to share the emperor's worries."

Li Shimin laughed, as if he had known that Luo Yi would say this.

"You still know me, I was trying to talk to you about this, but I didn't expect you to say it before me. Okay, then I will be allowed to play, you go with Luo Tong, the south of the Yangtze River is far away, and it is a land of right and wrong, and Luo Tong, I can rest assured. ”

"Back to the emperor, my eldest brother he... He still has something to do in Chang'an, and Chang'an National Chamber of Commerce can't live without him. ”

Luo Yi said: "The emperor doesn't have to worry about the safety of the minister, the minister will bring a few good hands, it must be no problem." ”

Li Shimin didn't care much about whether Luo Tong would go or not. It's good to stay in Chang'an, you can better manage the State Chamber of Commerce, the State Chamber of Commerce is in charge of the people's wealth, quite the treasury, and I really don't feel at ease without Luo Tong.

"With you here, I'm relieved..."

"In just one year, I earned three million taels, and in the long run..."

Halfway through Li Shimin's words, Luo Yi almost spit out a mouthful of old blood, and interjected: "Your Majesty, you may be a little misunderstood, these three million taels are not earned, but borrowed, strictly speaking, he is still the people's money." Although there is a household department now, as soon as the three million are transferred, there will be a vacancy in the State Chamber of Commerce, and it seems that it is earned, but next year, when the people want to withdraw the money, the minister will not have the money to take out. ”

Adversity...

Li Shimin was stunned, he never thought that the so-called three million was not earned. It's the flowers in the water, the moon in the mirror, everything is fake.

was originally very happy, but at this time, Li Shimin's face collapsed.

Seeing that Li Shimin was unhappy, Luo Yi said: "Your Majesty, don't you think that in just one year, your subordinates can earn three million, right?" Hehe, then this money is too easy to make. ”

"The minister can only say that he will do his best to open the State Chamber of Commerce, and when the country is in trouble, it can solve the urgent needs of the country, and as for profit, the three million sealed are enough."

"Your Majesty, what do you think?"

Li Shimin is also a quick-witted person, he immediately figured out the key, Luo Yi said very clearly, these three million are the people's money, and it will be returned to the people next year, even if the treasury does not take it out, Luo Yi will have to pay his own money, this is an ironclad fact.

When Luo Yi said this, Li Shimin felt that he was a little sorry for Luo Yi, he was originally the official who sealed Luo Yi and gave Luo Yi glory, but in the end, Luo Yi lost a lot of money, which is always a bit inhumane.

Li Shimin said: "Okay, then from now on, the State Chamber of Commerce does not have to hand over the treasury silver taels, and the three million I can't give you, you can figure it out yourself, and when you can hand it over, then talk to me; However, there is one point, every money in and out of the State Chamber of Commerce must be recorded, and I will send a messenger to verify it. ”

"Yes. Obey the order. ”

.............

Luo Yi went to Jiangnan for a very clear purpose, but not only to buy grain, but also to sell grain; It sounds a bit contradictory, but in fact, there is no contradiction at all, there is ready-made food in Luo Yi's small world, which can be taken out to make up for it at any time, and the two are offset, which is trouble-free, and there is no need to worry about it anymore. Of course, for 300,000 quintals, Luo Yi definitely couldn't take it out, so in addition to the food in the small world, he had to buy some more.

And in addition to these two things, there is another thing, which is to catch the drunken immortal wine, which is what Luo Yi went to Jiangnan Yao to do.

After cleaning up, Luo Yi took Zhao Wenxian and Zhao Wenyong on the road, drove the carriage, and rushed to Jiangnan non-stop.
