Chapter 122: Li Mengwei: Your Majesty is unspeakable
After listening to Wan Ce's words, the ministers were also excited.
Good guy, everyone has just started the crusade against Qin Fan, and your Wan Shilang has sent an assist!
Sure enough, it's you! Wance!
Helpless, Li Shimin could only break the jar and say:
"Then what did Qin Fan do?"
Wan Ce said excitedly:
"Lord Qin has done a great thing!"
A big deal indeed! Isn't it a big deal to spend all the money in the treasury so that Huainan is about to be flooded?
The ministers understood.
Li Shimin rubbed his head with a headache.
Don't stack it! Don't stack it!
If this continues, Qin Fan will really become a big sinner who will bring disaster to the country and the people.
Perhaps hearing Li Shimin's prayer, Wan Ce spoke:
"Lord Qin has reached an agreement with the Ryukyu Kingdom to purchase five hundred logs from my Datang for one million silver taels!"
As soon as these words came out, the ministers exploded!
What! This kid actually sold 500 logs for a hundred taels of silver!
The average price of one, two, five!
Even if you chop those logs into firewood, it's higher than that!
The ministers were about to scold when they saw it, but Li Shimin was suddenly stunned:
"What do you say? How much? β
Wan Ce was very satisfied with His Majesty's reaction: "Back to Your Majesty, it is one million taels of silver, and five hundred logs will be purchased. β
Li Shimin said with a stunned face: "Are you sure you didn't say one more 10,000 words?" β
Wan Ce nodded: "The agreement between Lord Qin and the Ryukyu envoy Moser can be seen clearly by Wei Chen. One million taels of silver indeed. β
Suddenly, the ministers didn't believe it again.
Hou Jun Jifa is it:
"1 million taels for 500 logs? Is this log made of gold or silver? It costs 2,000 taels of silver to buy one? β
Wan Ce shook his head and said, "It's not made of gold, what the other party wants is wood from the mountain in Huainan East Road." β
"And there are requirements for the size of the variety, which needs to be used as a beam."
Hearing this, the ministers breathed a sigh of relief.
That's pretty much it.
However, Li Mengwei, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, couldn't sit still!
"You Wance, nonsense!"
"Although this wood is precious, it is not worth two thousand taels of silver!"
"Even if the expenses are calculated to the highest, it is only seven hundred taels!"
"Then there is so much money in the Ryukyus that there is nowhere to send it? Buy it for triple the price! β
Hearing this, Hou Junji also aimed his eyes at Wan Ce and said:
"That's right! We're not stupid, but the Ryukyu Kingdom isn't stupid! There must be something strange in this time. β
Wan Ce also knew that he would be refuted by the senior officials of the DPRK and China, so he spoke:
"Yes, the people of the Ryukyu Kingdom are indeed not stupid! But they can only have this kind of wood for shipbuilding! β
"And this kind of wood is only owned by our Datang, so it is natural for the other party to pay a high price."
After a pause, Wan Ce continued: "What's more, the drawings needed to build a ship with this timber on the other side were provided by Lord Qin Fan Qin of Wannian County. β
"The other party reciprocated the favor and promised to buy it at a high price, in fact, it was just to express gratitude to Lord Qin!"
At this time, the ministers were still stunned, doubting the authenticity of the matter.
And Li Shimin in the hall was already overjoyed.
"Good! With this deal, the silver taels of Huainan disaster relief have also been settled! β
Hearing this, Wan Ce looked at Li Shimin and asked, "Then Your Majesty, did we sell this wood?" β
Li Shimin nodded: "Sell!" How not to sell! As long as the other party is willing to pay three times the price, I will sell as much as the Ryukyu Kingdom wants! β
At this moment, officials are slowly coming to terms with this fact.
On the other hand, the previous attacks on Qin Fan have become a joke at this time.
That's right, Qin Fan did spend 100,000 taels of silver in the treasury.
But Ren Ren turned his head and put himself in place, and Datang brought a million-level transaction.
Even if it's to remove the cost. (This chapter is not finished!) )
Chapter 122: Li Mengwei: Your Majesty is unspeakable
, the treasury also has a net income of six or seven hundred thousand!
It's not a good deal!
And now that the silver two have been settled, the preparations for Huainan's flood control can continue to be discussed.
At this moment, Li Mengwei suddenly patted his head.
"Your Majesty, dare to ask if the cement was invented by Qin Fan?"
Hearing this, Li Shimin hesitated a little, why did Li Mengwei have no head or brains to ask such a sentence.
But he still replied: "Yes, it is indeed Qin Fan's invention, didn't he argue about it before?" β
Li Mengwei did not hesitate, and said directly: "Your Majesty, isn't Huainan going to fight the flood?" β
"In previous years, the dikes that were fighting the flood were either washed away or flooded."
"Now that there is such a sharp weapon as cement, is it possible to use cement to build flood fortifications?"
"With the strength of the cement, it will be much easier to resist floods."
Hearing this, Li Shimin's eyes couldn't help but light up.
That's right! The waterproofing performance of the cement is first-class.
And I'm not afraid of being taken away, after all, it's poured in place.
More importantly, the raw materials of cement are simple, low cost, and suitable for mass use.
"Whether this cement can be used to fight floods, I'm not sure yet. When he turned around, he asked that Qin Fan about something, maybe he could know something. β
Li Mengwei immediately stated that he would also go with him.
On the one hand, he was a little curious about Qin Fan, who had repeatedly caused court disputes and was frantically attacked by Hou Junji and others.
On the other hand, it is to take the opportunity to ask the other party about some of the problems that have puzzled you all the year round, and you can be answered.
Li Shimin had no choice but to respond. @η²Ύε\/Shuge*First update~~
If it goes on like this, his entire governing team will really have to go to Qin Fan's house one by one to inquire and visit!
Sooner or later, won't my identity be recognized?
There are still many things to discuss and deal with in the Tai Chi Hall.
It's just that compared to the Huainan flood, everyone seems to be a little distracted.
Needless to say, they were thinking about the timber trade, Qin Fan, and whether the cement was effective or not.
Li Shimin also endured all kinds of impatience in his heart, and presided over the completion of the early dynasty of the day.
Then, he called out to the eldest grandson Wuji, who had just retreated from the dynasty and was about to leave, and said: "Auxiliary, can the cement that Li Mengwei said today be used to fight the flood?" β
The eldest grandson Wuji shook his head and said, "Weichen doesn't know, please ask Your Majesty to solve your doubts." β
Qin Fan waved his hand and said, "I don't know anything about this, but Qin Fan must know." β
The eldest grandson Wuji immediately understood, and he spoke:
"Your Majesty, we might as well go to Wannian County again and ask that Qin Fan kid to make it clear."
Li Shimin said with a smile: "The auxiliary machine is reasonable, then let's set off to Wannian County!" β
However, as soon as he changed into casual clothes, Li Shimin found a person blocking the palace gate.
I saw Li Mengwei, who was dressed in a lake-blue cloth shirt and rolled up his sleeves, and said:
"Your Majesty, you promised Weichen, but you can't be untrustworthy!"
"This time, you have to bring the ministers with you!"
