Chapter 61: Thirty Million Silver

In the seventh year of Wude, 624 A.D., the first month.

Just when all the people of the Tang Dynasty celebrated the festival, the Tang Dynasty also came to a turning point in history, after the Shangyuan Festival this year, Li Yuan announced his abdication, and the crown prince Li Shimin inherited the throne and changed the concept of Yuan Zhen.

After Li Shimin succeeded to the throne, the eldest grandson Wujian was the queen, as for the position of the crown prince, because Li Chengqian was still young, it was temporarily vacant, and as for the positions of concubines and talents, there was no need to say more.

The first thing Li Shimin did after succeeding to the throne was to promote all kinds of high-yield crops to the world.

As the so-called agriculture is the foundation of the world, grain is the first in the world, Li Shimin has just taken the throne and launched a variety of varieties with a yield of more than 1,000 catties per mu, and even two kinds of 'auspicious rui' with the highest yield of seven or eight thousand catties, so that the people of Datang are all excited and crying, and the voice of shouting 'long live' has repeatedly appeared in Datang this year.

With this auspicious rui, almost everyone knows that Li Shimin's throne is stable.

In terms of rivers and lakes, with Li Shimin's ascension to the throne and the emperor, Cihang Jingzhai won a complete victory, and with Li Shimin's acquiescence, the Buddhist forces led by Cihang Jingzhai and Jingnian Monastery began to bloom everywhere in the Tang Dynasty, but Li Shimin made an agreement with them at the beginning of the three chapters, and never allowed Buddhism to become a place to hide dirt and dirt, otherwise don't blame the emperor for being ruthless.

As long as the court formulates various rules and regulations, such as regular assessment of Buddhism and the like, if Buddhism can still be carried forward, then there is nothing to say, but if you don't fight, don't blame the court for not giving you a chance.

These systems are actually the ideas of Ling Chi to help Li Shimin, although Ling Chi has a good relationship with Cihang Jingzhai and Jingnian Monastery, but he also knows some of the conditions of Buddhism in history, not to mention anything else, just Li Shimin's daughter Princess Gaoyang and the monk of the debate machine are enough to discredit Buddhism.

In order to restrain Buddhism from doing some messy things, Ling Chi took out the means of governing religion in later generations, and from the current point of view, the effect is still good. Of course, this is also related to Ling Chi's personal relationship with Fan Qinghui and Likong Xiang.

With Ling Chi's strength, as well as some unconfirmed, but there will always be some clues to prove that he is a god of heaven, Fan Qinghui and Kong basically agreed with Ling Chi's statement, and said that he would definitely restrain the people and prevent them from messing around.

At that time, Ling Chi also talked to Fan Qinghui, but Fan Qinghui did not respond to his affection in the end, only said that he wanted to dedicate his life to Cihang Jingzhai, hoping that he could understand himself.

Although Ling Chi felt regretful, he could only sigh after all: What a good woman, it's a pity that it doesn't belong to me.

After Li Shimin ascended the throne, he vigorously promoted agriculture internally, and took Chang'an as the center, built bridges and paved roads, developed the local economy, and also funded by the imperial court to set up royal schools in almost every township and county in the Tang Dynasty, and spent three years to enlighten children. After three years, students who are excellent in their studies can continue their studies, and those who are not good at learning at least learn to read, whether it is farming or business, or working in all walks of life, it will be of great help.

Of course, many of the Maison's gate valves have seen that this move has shaken their foundations. In the past, almost all culture was in their hands, whether it was an official or a businessman, they could do whatever they wanted, and even the rulers had to be polite to them, otherwise these family lords would not be officials, see how you convey the decree and govern the world?

For these family gate valves, if Li Shimin is still the second son of Li Valve, he will not say anything, but now that he is the emperor, he naturally has to find a way to suppress them, and selecting materials from the people to cultivate, and finally serving the court is the best way to consolidate the imperial power and weaken the strength of the family gate valve.

When Ling Chi said the corresponding method, Li Shimin was excited for several nights and didn't sleep well, only thinking that if this matter was implemented smoothly, Datang would never be short of talents, and the family would no longer have a high soil.

You don't do it, some people do it, and they do it much better than you, see how do you still do it?

The world is Li Shimin iron and blood, coupled with the promotion of high-yield crops, the prestige has reached a height beyond the reach of all the family valves, Li Shimin wants to promote teaching, although any family valve is very reluctant in their hearts, but they also know that the consequences of standing up against it will inevitably be spurned by the people, and if Li Shimin gives them a ruthless one, it will not be possible for hundreds of years, and the family of thousands of years will be ruined.

No one dares to take such a risk, even if they grit their teeth again, they can only acquiesce to the changes in the educational environment of Datang, they are now not only worried about their children and grandchildren, but also can only do their best to teach their own clansmen, hoping that they can work harder and not lose the inheritance and glory of the family.

On this day, the apse of the palace.

Ling Chi hugged the eldest daughter of the eldest grandson, Li Lizhi, teasing her with various snacks, and then looked at the eldest grandson Wujian with a big belly, and frowned: "I have already given birth to two, don't give birth after giving birth to this, it's not good for your health." ”

It is now the second year of Zhenguan, and the eldest grandson Wujian has given birth to a son and a daughter for Li Shimin, unlike in history, Li Tai, the king of Wei, was not born, but Li Lizhi came as promised, and is now three years old, one year younger than in history.

What reason does Ling Chi know, in the original history, in the two years when Li Tai and Li Lizhen should have been born, Li Shimin has been leading the troops outside, and he has no time to make villains with his eldest grandson, so Li Tai was not born, but Li Lizhen is one year younger than the original history, although she is still called Li Lizhen, but who can tell clearly, whether she and Li Lizhen in history are the same person?

However, Li Li in this world is very cute, and she has a good personality, she is both intimate and well-behaved, and she is Li Shimin's intimate little padded jacket. But compared with Uncle Ling, who can always come up with something delicious, Li Shimin has to stand aside.

The eldest grandson Wujian smiled slightly: "Although the little sister doesn't want to give birth anymore, but there is only one sister-in-law, after all, it is a little thin, and the little sister still wants to have another son, so as not to have an accident in the future, and there can be a child on top." ”

"What is the future of children, one depends on the words and deeds of parents, and the other depends on the teaching of teachers, so it is very important to choose a good teacher for Chengqian." Ling Chi said: "But don't choose any old pedants and antiques for Cheng Qian, they can't teach Cheng Qian." ”

The eldest grandson nodded: "The little sister will discuss it with Erlang." After a pause, she smiled and said, "Actually, the little sister hopes that Brother Ling can teach Cheng Qian." ”

"I'll forget it!" Ling Chi waved his hand: "I don't know how to govern the country, if I accidentally teach Cheng Qian to be a cook, my brother-in-law will have to fight hard with me." ”

The eldest grandson smiled without a smile.

Ling Chi looked at the sky and said, "It's all this time, it's time to go down, right?" ”

"Now that there are many court affairs, I'm afraid it will take some time." The eldest grandson Wujian sighed and said, "In the past two years, Erlang has been very busy every day, and even many times he will be busy until late at night. After a pause: "Erlang wants to be a Mingjun too much." ”

"......" Ling Chi squinted at her and said, "It's so pitiful, it's not that you want to benefit from me." Go ahead! What do you want me to do? ”

The eldest grandson Wujian said with some embarrassment: "Brother Ling, there is no silver in the treasury. ”

“……”

"In the past two years, although high-yield seeds have been introduced, disasters have continued, grain production is much lower than estimated, and there has even been a plague in many places, resulting in displaced people everywhere, and there are too many places where the imperial court needs money, but the founding time of the Tang Dynasty is relatively short, the production is insufficient, and the treasury naturally cannot collect many taxes, and Erlang even has gray ......hair for this."

"Alright, alright." Ling Chi couldn't listen anymore: "Let's just say it!" How much? ”

"The more the merrier." After the eldest grandson Wujian finished speaking, he said with a little blush: "Of course, this is all borrowed by the imperial court and Brother Ling, and when the imperial court has money, it will definitely be returned with interest." ”

"You don't have to pay for it." Ling Chi waved his hand and said, "Let my brother-in-law send more people to help me find more natural treasures to pay off my debts!" ”

"This ...... Brother Ling suffered too much. Although the eldest grandson Wujian was happy, he also felt that he owed himself too much to his brother-in-law.

"There's nothing to lose." Ling Chi said: "Money is nothing to me, but natural treasures are hard to come by. I'm looking for it alone, even if I look for a hundred years, it's not as much as my brother-in-law's will, even if I take what I need! ”

"Then, little sister thank Brother Ling for Erlang." The eldest grandson stood up and saluted.

"Sit down." Ling Chi pressed his hand: "It's seven or eight months old, don't toss around." After a pause, he looked at the stomach of the eldest grandson, frowned, and sighed.

"Brother Ling, what do you mean by this?" The eldest grandson was stunned, a little nervous.

"Nothing." Ling Chi sighed: "It's just that your baby is a daughter, and it seems that you are going to have a fourth child." ”

"Huh? This ......" The eldest grandson Wujian changed color slightly, stroking his stomach with both hands, and his face was gloomy.

"Don't be like this, it's good to have a daughter." Ling Chi said: "My daughter is the intimate little padded jacket of her parents, much better than those boys who can only be naughty. ”

The eldest grandson Wujian reluctantly smiled: "What Brother Ling said is true. ”

Perhaps sensing that the eldest grandson Wujian was in a bad mood, Li Lizhi jumped down from Ling Chi's arms, ran to the eldest grandson Wujian, and brought the milk candy in his hand to her mouth: "Queen Mother, this milk candy is very sweet, you eat it." ”

Seeing his daughter's concern for him, the eldest grandson smiled innocently: "Thank you, Lizhi." ”

The eldest grandson Wujian ate the milk candy, and Li Lizhi smiled: "Queen Mother, is it delicious?" ”

"It's delicious." The eldest grandson Wujian nodded, and stroked her little head with his bare hands: "Lizhi is really good." ”

"Hee-hee." Seeing that the queen mother was in a better mood, Li Lizhi happily ran back to Ling Chi's side and sat on his lap: "Uncle Ling, is there still milk candy?" ”

"Yes." Ling Chi flipped his hand, and two milk candies appeared in his hand, and said with a smile: "In view of Lizhi being so well-behaved, Uncle will reward you with two candies this time." ”

"Thank you, Uncle Ling." Li Lizhi happily took the two milk candy, jumped down again, and ran to the eldest grandson Wuji: "Queen mother, Lizhi has two more milk candy, both for the queen mother." ”

Seeing her daughter so well-behaved, the eldest grandson's tears were about to fall, and he stroked her cheeks: "It's enough for the queen mother to eat one, let's eat these two beauties!" ”

"Then, the queen mother and Lizhi eat together." Li Lizhi brought a toffee to her mouth.

The eldest grandson Wujian smiled and ate it, and Li Lizhi also happily peeled off another milk candy and put it in her mouth, the sweet milk candy made her squint her eyes: It's delicious.

"Look, let's have a daughter!" Ling Chi said with a smile.

The eldest grandson Wujian smiled slightly: "What Brother Ling said is that his daughter is indeed very good. After a pause: "It's just that when my daughter grows up, she will eventually get married." ”

"What about getting married?" Ling Chi said: "Don't you care about your mother's family after you get married?" Not to mention anything else, after you married your brother-in-law, how much benefit did the eldest grandson's family get? Even your uncle who was assigned to him became a high-ranking official, and now I don't know how beautiful it is! ”

The eldest grandson was speechless, and could only smile awkwardly.

At this moment, a rush of footsteps came from outside the hall, and the two turned their heads to look, and saw Li Shimin, who was dressed in a dragon robe, walking in from outside the hall, and when he saw Ling Chi, he walked a few steps happily: "Brother Ling, I miss my little brother!" ”

"Miss me?" Ling Chi sneered: "It's thinking about my money!" ”

"Uh......" Li Shimin turned his head and glanced at the eldest grandson Wujian, and when he saw the eldest grandson Wujian covering his mouth and snickering, he couldn't help laughing embarrassedly twice, and said, "Little brother, isn't there no way!" Otherwise, I wouldn't bother Brother Ling to go out of the island to help. ”

"Needless to say, polite words." Ling Chi waved his hand: "I'll give you 30 million taels of silver, as well as some antique calligraphy and paintings, if you can sell them, I'll give them to you." ”

"Three...... Thirty million taels of silver!? Li Shimin and the eldest grandson Wujian were taken aback.

They can't help but be taken aback, now that Datang has been established for less than ten years, it can be said that there are a hundred wastes waiting to be rebuilt, and money is needed everywhere, and now the financial income of a year is only ** million yuan, that is, ** million taels of silver, Ling Chi took out 30 million taels of silver in one go, which is equivalent to more than three years of Datang's financial income, how can this not make them startled.

Moreover, Ling Chi also has a batch of antique calligraphy and paintings for him, even if these things are not sold, it is good to use them to enrich the collection in the palace.

"Brother Ling's kindness to the younger brother and the people of Datang, the younger brother and Datang will never forget each other." If it weren't for the difference in identity, Li Shimin would have knelt down for Ling Chi, but he was the emperor of the Tang Dynasty after all, and a bow to the ground was enough to show sincerity.

"Alright." Ling Chi waved his hand: "It's not for you, remember to help me collect more natural treasures, I will buy them according to the market price, when will I spend 30 million taels of silver, and when will it end." ”

Li Shimin was stunned, and he never dreamed that Ling Chi didn't want him to pay back the money, but instead used the treasures of heaven and earth to pay off the debt. Although the treasures of heaven and earth are very precious, after all, they are of little help to the country, if they can be exchanged for 30 million taels of silver, it will be a lot of money for the entire Datang.

"Brother Ling, little brother...... The younger brother ...... "Li Shimin was so excited that he couldn't help himself, if he didn't know that Ling Chi's orientation was normal, he would have hated to offer chrysanthemums to the big guy."
