Chapter 74: Your Majesty is a little caught off guard

When the household official asked this sentence, he looked up and saw His Majesty's evil smile.

I only feel that the chrysanthemums are tight, this time it must be a big expense, otherwise, Your Majesty will definitely not call them all to talk about this matter with such fanfare!

The eldest grandson Wuji and Du Ruhui on the side also showed a strange smile.

Your Majesty is Your Majesty, this trick is really powerful!

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty doesn't know how much it cost Your Majesty to buy this repeater?"

"Well, no more, no more."

Li Er waved his hand on one side, and stretched out two fingers with his other hand.

"Ah, Your Majesty, these repeaters cost 200 times?"

Hearing what the Minister of Household said this, Li Er's old face instantly pulled down.

200 through?

200 runs you won't be enough to buy an arrow.

Seeing that His Majesty's face had become so ugly, the household official's eyes widened immediately.

"Your Majesty, these things won't be 2,000 kans, right?"

Just now they asked about the price of the repeater, and His Majesty held out two fingers.

They knew that according to His Majesty's intentions, it would never be two runs, or 20 runs, so they said 200 runs.

It's just that these 200 are not right.

This?

However, His Majesty is pulling longer and longer for the old face?

"Don't worry, guess boldly, this number will multiply several times."

"I'm not even 2,000, it won't be 20,000, right?"

"Okay, okay, let you guess that you guessed until it was dark, and you couldn't guess the price, the money was not much, and it only cost 200,000 taels of gold."

???? 200,000 taels, is this unit still gold?

I saw the household official on the side, who sat directly on the side, and began to calculate with his fingers, how much the 200,000 taels of gold would get.

If you don't know that firewood, rice, oil and salt are expensive, although the treasury of Datang still has this money.

But all this money is stored as a strategic reserve.

After all, who knows when a natural or man-made disaster will happen in which piece, and they must be able to take out the money at any time to help the victims.

Or rather, war as a use.

Now His Majesty has bought more than 10 repeating crossbows and spent 200,000 taels of gold, isn't this a loser?

"Okay, do you really think that I spent 200,000 taels and only bought 10 of them?

I bought 500 of them this time, and the others are still being built, and 400 taels of gold each is not a loss. ”

400 taels of gold is not a loss, the minister of the household department only feels that this heart is dripping blood, and 400 taels of gold is put in His Majesty's mouth and says that it is not a loss, which is obviously a loss of pants will be gone.

"Your Majesty, these 200,000 taels of gold are too much.

Let's not talk about whether my household department can take it out, even if it can be taken out, for my Datang, this strategic reserve is not enough.

If you have to spend money at a critical moment, it is still very important. ”

In the event of natural and man-made disasters, you need money to buy food, recruit troops, and spend money.

If the court can't even pay the money, who will sell their lives to fight without food?

Seeing his shocked face, it was completely like he had never seen the world, Li Er snorted coldly!

"It's really superficial, this Turkic has forced me to Datang since that year and signed a covenant under the city.

Do we have to give more than 200,000 taels of gold to the Turks every year? ”

Although the Turks did not ask for gold directly, they always used copper coins, grain, cloth, and other things instead.

But if these things were converted into gold, they would have already exceeded 200,000 taels.

"Could it be that I, the people of the Tang Dynasty, have to make my Datang obediently contribute to the Turks when I cultivate the grain and money paid by paying taxes?

Today's Turkic people have a growing appetite, and they keep trying to squeeze my Tang Dynasty.

Should my Datang be so brutally squeezed by the Turks?

Now that my Datang has such a weapon, if all of them are equipped in the hands of my Datang soldiers, I see that it is more than enough to destroy the Turks.

At that time, the northern Turks will be completely wiped out, and I, the Tang Dynasty, will not need to pay tribute to the Turks.

And the Turkic people have to sacrifice my Tang Dynasty in turn, and they have to serve me as the main Tang Dynasty.

Ladies and gentlemen, think about it, do you still think that these 200,000 taels of gold are expensive? ”

His Majesty's deeds are very clear to everyone, this is a real emperor who has conquered the battlefield.

If it weren't for the fact that the Turks fought too suddenly, Datang's strength was weak, and he was hit hard in the back.

According to His Majesty's personality, such a thing will never be allowed.

Now that they have these advanced weapons, a few people know that it won't be long before they will definitely have a war between the Tang Dynasty and the Turks!

"It's just that Your Majesty, we have prepared the money to be delivered to the Turks this year.

If our treasury takes out another 200,000 taels of gold, I am afraid it will really be insufficient.

But if anything happens, it will have a very bad impact on my Datang! ”

The Minister of Household also has the thoughts of the Minister of Household, and when I heard His Majesty say this today, everyone also knew that His Majesty did this, and it was all for the Tang Dynasty and the people of the world.

"It's okay, 200,000 taels don't need to be in such a hurry, you can take out 20,000 taels of gold first.

I have signed an agreement with that person, 200,000 taels, to be paid off in 10 years, and only 20,000 yuan per year.

Of course, if you can wipe out the Turks, the rest of the money will be paid in one lump sum! ”

This?

"Your Majesty, how can Wei Chen listen, this person is still my Tang person?

In that case, why don't we buy all the manufacturing methods of the repeater, so that we can save time copying them.

Or invite this person to the palace, give him an official and knighthood, and let him tell him all these methods.

In this way, we can also save a lot of money! ”

This wishful thinking is the sound of a bell.

"It's not a good thing to kill chickens and get eggs, and the new plowstick I showed you earlier was actually purchased from this man.

Except for this, all these other things were purchased from this man.

Everyone has their own ambitions, since he doesn't want to enter the court for my use.

I'll buy it with this money, as long as I make a profit? ”

"What Your Majesty said is reasonable, Your Majesty is Shengming!"

"Okay, okay, don't talk about this sycophant.

You can just hand over the money directly to Zhao Guogong, and I will ask him to send someone to send the money over!" ”

"It's Your Majesty's ministers who receive the order."

The Minister of Household Affairs left the place, and Li Er glanced at the eldest grandson Wuji, and a meaning that both parties understood was presented.

"Auxiliary, Keming, I'm going to prepare a luncheon at noon today, why don't you two stay in the palace and eat together?"

"Your Majesty, I still have something to do, and I will come to the palace to have a small gathering with Your Majesty when I am done."

"That's it, since you two don't have time, then when you're done, let's go to Zhaojiazhuang and have a good meal with my virtuous brother, and the two of you will go back first."

After finishing the things here, Li Er also left this place and went to the imperial dining room!
