Knowing that the officials did not believe it, Li Shimin explained the specific form of the national debt.

"If Zhong Aiqing deposits money in the royal bank and buys treasury bonds, he can get a ticket."

"As long as the date of your ticket expires, you can use the ticket to withdraw the previous money from the bank, as well as the corresponding interest."

"I hereby promise that the minimum interest will not be less than five cents (5%) per year, as for the specifics, it depends on the choice of your family and the specific situation at that time."

Hearing this, Baiguan exploded all of a sudden.

"Borrowing money? And interest?"

"Your Majesty, what if I want to withdraw it early?"

An old minister asked.

Li Shimin shook his head: "You can't withdraw it in advance, but you can sell the treasury bonds in your hand to other people who need it for turnover."

Hearing this, Wei Zheng was surprised: "Your Majesty, is this only recognizing votes and not people?"

Li Shimin shook his head: "Naturally not. If this is the case, the huge national debt will lead to murder. I don't want that to happen."

"Then Your Majesty, what does this resale of treasury bonds mean?"

Li Shimin said: "To resell treasury bonds, you also need to go to the bank, and after the transaction is completed, it will be certified by the staff of the royal bank before the holder of the treasury bonds can be replaced."

Some are starting to hesitate.

The eldest grandson Wuji immediately added a fire.

"Listen to me, everybody. The treasury bonds issued by the emperor are guaranteed by the Tang Dynasty."

"So there's no need to worry about not being able to exchange or withdraw the money at that time."

"At this time, there is the imperial court and the treasury! I can't afford to lose everyone!"

Hearing this, some officials were puzzled:

"According to the statement of the eldest grandson, we have money to make by lending money to the people of the imperial court."

"Isn't the court at a loss?"

Li Shimin smiled: "Xu Qing's family said it well! But rest assured, the court will not lose."

"These silver taels received from you will be invested in various constructions of Datang, and they will definitely return to their original costs in the future!"

"Even if the imperial court is unlucky and can't cover the expenses for a few years, it will be supported by taxes!"

"So there's no need to worry about it at all."

The eldest grandson Wuji concluded: "Your Majesty issued treasury bonds to bring everyone to make money together. You can think about it when you go back."

"But you also have to pay attention to the time, after all, the emperor has a limited number of treasury bonds issued each time, if you come late and buy it out, you can only beg others to resell it."

The matter of the national debt was thus settled.

However, the ministers don't believe it, and it is unknown how much they can believe it.

Li Shimin also put forward his second idea:

"In previous years, Huainan fought floods, and the imperial court would allocate a large amount of disaster relief silver."

"But every year, a dam is washed away, and disaster relief becomes disaster relief! The people also had to flee from foreign enemies and become outcasts and beggars!"

"I've often wondered whose problem it is, and how to solve it!"

"Now, I've thought of it!"

Li Mengwei pouted: Your Majesty is pretending to be forced again, this is obviously heard by Wannian County, how did it become Your Majesty's own thinking?

"From today onwards, the anti-disaster silver will be issued! But all over Huainan are those who eat it."

"Up to the magistrate, down to the small officials. Go up to the levee for me!"

"No one has to be responsible for a section of the levee! The embankment is in, and the people are there; If the embankment dies, you will ask for more blessings!"

"Even if you didn't die in the flood, when the disaster relief is over, I will also investigate your crime of fighting the disaster!"

Li Shimin's words were like a golden jade, which made everyone, especially the officials in the south, awe-inspired.

Wei Zheng also frowned: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that this matter needs to be thought twice."

Hearing this, Li Shimin looked at him.

"What is Zheng Guogong's opinion?"

Wei Zheng hugged his fists:

"Your Majesty, is this move too harsh on Huainan officials?"

"The embankment that has not been defended for more than ten years, so that they must defend it, is it not difficult for the strong?"

Li Shimin smiled slightly.

If he didn't know that those officials embezzled disaster relief funds, he would have thought so.

But......

"Wei Zheng! Where do you think all the money for disaster relief in the imperial court in previous years went?"

Wei Zheng said as a matter of course: "The disaster relief money naturally went to the disaster-stricken areas and distributed to the affected people."

However, as soon as he finished speaking, he frowned.

If this is really normal, why does Your Majesty need to ask such a question?

Over the years, however, there have been no problems in reporting disaster relief funds.

So, his heart moved: "Your Majesty, please also give the ministers a glance of the disaster relief accounts of recent years."

Hearing this, three beads of sweat flowed from Tobe Shangshu's head.

He spoke, "Zheng Guogong, I remember that you don't seem to be in charge of this part, right? If you want to check the account books, don't you just ask the old man?"

The sense of disobedience in Wei Zheng's heart was even worse, and he spoke:

"Don't bother Lord Shangshu! Wei Zheng can personally verify it!"

"That's it!" Li Shimin stopped Wei Zheng.

"Let the past be over! There's nothing to check this account for!"

"From today onwards, all the officials in Huainan have given me the disaster relief money to go to the front line."

"If any of the levees fail, the officials in charge of the section will be held accountable!"

After Li Shimin finished speaking, he looked around at a time.

It was found that many people wanted to open their mouths to speak, but they were watching each other.

It seems to be looking for a way out.

So, Li Shimin said:

"At this time, I have made up my mind, if anyone persuades him again, I will throw him to Huainan to fight the disaster together!"

"If the embankment collapses, it will be the same responsibility as the Huainan officials!"

"You can't go back to the court until the flood recedes!"

As soon as these words came out, I thought that even if I wanted to persuade him, I now kept my mouth shut.

After all, if they can dissuade His Majesty from changing his mind, they will undoubtedly be able to make a large profit from the disaster relief funds.

But after all, money is something outside the body.

If it was because of further persuasion, he was really transferred to the front line of the Huainan flood by His Majesty.

If your life is gone, no matter how much money you have, there is nowhere to spend it!

Therefore, under Li Shimin's fierce gaze, no one objected to this matter in the end.

No one wants to go to Huainan on the eve of the flood!

However, this is not the case for everyone, such as Li Mengwei, who wants to study how dams are made and how they work.

I saw him take a step forward and speak:

"Your Majesty, Chen Yuan went to Huainan to get close to the flood and see if he could defend an area under his jurisdiction!"

Li Shimin nodded: "You go!"

In fact, when Li Mengwei went to Huainan, he had discussed it as early as the day before, when he returned.

After all, you have to go to a person in charge of supervision, otherwise it is difficult to guarantee that those local officials in Huainan will make some trouble.

And in addition to supervising the trial implementation of this system, it is more important to probe the situation and measure the data.

Determine the appropriate location for the construction of the dam.

These have to be personally gone by Li Mengwei to rest assured!
