Just when the snake wine of the big winery was all the rage, it was getting closer and closer to the coming of all nations. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Everyone in the Tang Dynasty is very excited, because the capital Chang'an is going to be unprecedentedly lively, and many people can take this opportunity to make a fortune again.

It's just that the common people want to do business with people from other countries, but the household department of Datang has begun to vacancy.

In the early morning of this day, Gao Jifu, the head of the household, stood up and brought up the matter.

Gao Jifu, the head of the household, was appointed by Li Zhi after he ascended the throne, Gao Jifu was a rebel at the end of the Sui Dynasty, but he was diligent and studious.

After Li Zhi became the crown prince, Li Shimin asked Gao Ji to assist Li Zhi, and not long after Li Zhi ascended the throne, he appointed him to the household department.

In fact, this is similar to the meaning of a son of heaven and a courtier.

But whoever assisted the crown prince when Li Zhi was still the crown prince, after the crown prince ascended the throne, he would basically change the important positions in the court.

Naturally, its purpose is to control the situation between the DPRK and China.

Those people in the past were Li Shimin's people, and they may not be willing to obey Li Zhi, but Li Zhi has the confidence and energy to accept these people one by one, but their position is very important, what to do, they can only replace their own people.

Gao Jifu is still a very capable person, the household department has experienced some reforms when Tang Zhou was the head of the household department before, and the income of the household department has increased a lot, although Tang Zhou has stepped down, but the rules left before are still there, so as long as Gao Jifu is not too alternative, there will generally be no problems in the household department.

But there are exceptions.

For example, Li Zhigang ascended the throne, and there were wars in many places in Datang, and although any war is fought for the blood of front-line soldiers, behind it, it is for money.

In the battle with Tubo, the Tang Dynasty has spent a lot, and in the rebellion in Shuzhong, Tang Zhou purchased some grain and grass, which did not make the court embarrassed, but after the rebellion in Shuzhong, Tang Zhou proposed to build a Shu road, so it is a little difficult to estimate how much the court spent.

Nowadays, the household department is a little short of money.

Gao Jifu told Li Zhi about the situation, and the ministers heard that the household department was short of money, so they couldn't help but shout.

They were a little unconvinced.

It has been decades since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, and after more than 20 years of development in Zhenguan, Datang can be said to be extremely wealthy.

"Shengshang, if there are no countries to come to the court, and when some taxes are collected, the household department can still plug the gap, but when all countries come to the court, I Datang needs to prepare too many things, and the money is spent like running water, so it is not enough."

Datang wants to show its national prestige, many places need to spend money, and it is obviously impossible to let people worship you without spending money.

Gao Jifu told him about the situation, of course, there are many situations that lead to a lack of money in the household department, and the coming of all countries is only one aspect.

After he finished speaking, Li Zhi pondered for a moment, and then asked: "Ladies and gentlemen, the household department is short of money, what do you think about this matter?" ”

Li Zhi looked at the ministers, and the ministers also looked at each other, muttering from time to time, how could they answer this kind of thing?

"Holy Lord, in fact, the people of my Tang Dynasty are extremely rich, it is better to levy some taxes on the people, and get through this juncture, and it will be easier to talk about it in the future." An official stepped forward, but as soon as he finished speaking, he was immediately opposed by some officials.

"Nonsense, how can you casually increase taxes on the people? Throughout the ages, only when the king of the country died, would he increase some taxes to the people, and my Tang Dynasty is now in its heyday, how can I do these things? ”

"That is, it is absolutely impossible to collect taxes on the people, this is a matter of principle."

"That's right, you can't let the people chill, and many people are actually not having a good time."

There are many conscientious officials above the court, and it is obviously not feasible to increase the burden of the people to make up for the lack of money in the household, and then let the nations come to be more vigorous.

For these ministers, other countries are no different from barbarians, they are all inferior people, how can they be regarded as more noble than the people of the Tang Dynasty?

It is absolutely impossible and impossible to sacrifice the people of Datang to make those barbarians comfortable.

Many people objected, and the official who proposed to increase the people's taxes was scolded and bloody, and he didn't dare to speak again for a while.

At this time, an official said again: "Holy Lord, why don't you cancel the coming of all countries to the court, and when my Tang Dynasty has money, I will notify them to come." ”

After an official said this, he was immediately sprayed and did not dare to open his eyes.

"You can say this, the edict has been issued, if it is canceled, won't it make those countries make fun of me Datang?"

"That's it, the saint has just ascended the throne, this is to let those people know that my new emperor of the Tang Dynasty has ascended the throne, what a big deal is this, how can you say that it is canceled and made fun?"

"That's right, you don't want to talk about such things that make me embarrassed in Datang in the future, my Datang is actually very rich, but I am only temporarily short of money, how can I do something that damages my Datang's prestige?"

The ministers objected, and Li Zhi also objected, he finally ascended the throne, and he could finally announce to everyone that he was the emperor, this is the thing that makes him elevate his status, as long as all the countries come to the court, he is the Khan of the Heavens, how can such a thing be canceled?

Everyone is not in favor of canceling, just not canceling, where does the money come from?

This incident stumped everyone.

The money is in the hands of the people, but the key is how to turn the people's money into the money of the court?

The method must not be too drastic, and it must not be disgusted by the people, which is a very difficult thing.

Wang Renyou stood on top of the main hall, his eyes rolled slightly, and then he suddenly stood up: "Shengshang, the household department is short of money, mainly because Tang Zhou and Tang Xiaohou have to let Xiu Shu Dao, so the minister thinks that this matter of raising money can let Tang Zhou find a way." ”

This thing is not easy to do, it is a hot potato, no one else has a way, then Tang Zhou will definitely not have any way, since this is the case, let Tang Zhou go to make it difficult.

Wang Renyou's trick is very poisonous, Cheng Yanjin frowned slightly after hearing this, thinking that Wang Renyou, this old thing, didn't learn a lesson, it's all at this time, and he still wants to take revenge.

I didn't worry much about biting gold in the process, although it was said that all countries needed a lot of money to come to the court, but Tang Zhou didn't open the Tang Dynasty Money Village, there was so much money in it, wouldn't it be okay to lend some to the imperial court?

Cheng Yanjin didn't take this seriously.

Li Zhi felt that something was wrong.

Tang Zhou is no longer in charge of affairs in the court, and he is asked to find a way, just like the officials in the entire court are all waste, you take the money, but let Tang Zhou go to make money, what is the matter?

Moreover, Li Zhi didn't like this feeling that he could only find Tang Zhou to solve problems whenever he had difficulties, as if without Tang Zhou, he Li Zhi would have no way to solve these problems.

But after thinking about it, Li Zhi really couldn't think of any way to make the warehouse of the household department full again, so after hesitating for a moment, he still nodded: "Wei Guogong is reasonable, since this is the case, the matter of raising money will be handed over to Tang Zhou, but remember, don't let the imperial court lose face."
