"After all these years, you are still the same open-mouthed."

"Before, His Majesty said that there was no need to taboo too much, so I said it directly."

"Talk to you, and sooner or later I'll be angry to death."

"If Your Majesty dies young, I will help Your Majesty raise the princes and princesses in the palace, who are all the younger brothers and sisters of my own daughter-in-law, although they are messing around, I will always raise them to adulthood."

Li Shimin held his forehead, "I will naturally explain what happened to me." ”

Zhang Yang shook his fan and said with a smile: "It's okay to explain earlier." ”

There were guards standing from the palace on the side, Li Junxian listened to Zhang Yang's bold words, and now he wanted to cut him with a knife, and this son dared to say about His Majesty's future.

Almost forgetting what he came to see Zhang Yang for this time, Li Shimin said in a deep voice: "I heard that the queen bought a thousand hectares of Turkic land for three thousand yuan?" ”

"Your Majesty is wrong, it's not a buy, it's a contract." Zhang Yang nodded, "Yes, ten years of contracting." ”

"These coins are just scratching the surface to you."

"Three thousand yuan is also a nerve-wracking, I know that the Central Plains and the Turks will have good weather in the next ten years, and the Turks don't know, so for me this is a sure deal."

After taking a sip of warm tea, Zhang Yang said with a smile: "I don't know if Your Majesty is interested in participating and investing tens of thousands of dollars to become bigger and stronger with me." ”

mentioned money, Li Shimin gritted his teeth, "I don't have so much money. ”

Zhang Yang pondered, "It's not impossible to have no money, Your Majesty's capital can be borrowed from me." ”

"Borrow?"

"This year's grain harvest is bumper, and in order to prevent the phenomenon of grain cheapness hurting the peasants, the DPRK has sent 100,000 yuan to harvest grain, and His Majesty's courage is admired." Zhang Yang first bowed his hand, and then said: "My daughter-in-law and I have calculated, judging from the taxes and palace expenses in the first two years of the Tang Dynasty, after taking out 100,000 yuan, there is not much money left in the court. ”

Zhang Yang took another sip of tea and nodded: "Well, Your Majesty has no money, so as early as half a month ago, I asked His Royal Highness King Wei to send money to the palace from time to time." ”

First of all, he was angry, it turned out that he had already calculated all this.

And then I was ashamed, and I looked like a poor man in front of this kid.

After that, there was loss, and Li Shimin snorted coldly: "How do you know? ”

Zhang Yang sighed: "Your Majesty underestimated the number of techniques. ”

Li Yue took out a dossier, and in front of his father, there were numbers listed on it, and there were some complicated formulas.

"Father, daughter and husband are calculating the number of acres of land in Guanzhong according to the dossier brought from Zuozangku, and it is only fifty percent of the grain that is collected from one million acres of fertile land in Guanzhong, and the silver that the father and emperor have to pay is at least 200,000 yuan."

Li Shimin took a deep breath, this dossier was incomprehensible at all, and the numbers listed one by one of these complex formulas were simply heavenly books.

"Yue'er, the files in the Zuozangku are all from the former Sui, you are right, the price is also very close, not 200,000 guan, but 160,000 guan."

Li Yue's data source is the file of the former Sui, and now the initial national strength of the Tang Dynasty has not reached its peak, and this money is only a lot more.

"I can solve Your Majesty's urgent need and lend Your Majesty 60,000 yuan, but I have to use the entire Qujiang Pool as a mortgage until Your Majesty pays it off."

"Sixty thousand?"

Li Yue nodded, "In September, Lishan will be able to take out this money." ”

Li Shimin bowed his head and said: "You want the entire Qujiang Pond?" ”

"It's best to give me three or five soldiers to take care of this place, some powerful people are too poor, and every time they come, they will leave a lot of garbage, which will spoil the scenery of Qujiang Pond, and this Qujiang Pond will be our family's private territory in the future."

"Of course." Zhang Yang smiled again, "Your Majesty will not be stopped if you want to enter Qujiang Pond, you are your own family, including the prince and princess." ”

"I gave you all the Qujiang Pool, where are you really going to hold a banquet?"

"That's not my business."

The whole kid will never let go of nothing, he wants to use Qujiangchi as a condition in exchange, it is nothing more than that he values Qujiangchi and wants to make the whole place his.

Li Shimin glanced here, "I am indeed short of money, even if I don't need you to borrow it, I can make up 60,000 yuan." ”

"And then, does the money in the palace all depend on His Royal Highness King Wei to receive help?"

Li Shimin gritted his teeth again.

Zhang Yang said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, once there is a hint of the grain and the peasants, it will not stop, and there will be people who will sell a large amount of grain at a low price, and there will be a situation of increasing production without increasing income or even reducing income, and it will be difficult to harvest at that time. ”

Li Shimin closed his eyes, and the son-in-law in front of him was like a devil, he was trying to take away the entire Qujiang Pond.

The Tang Dynasty was arrogant and chaotic, and the Central Plains Rebellion almost wiped out the population of the Central Plains.

Now the Central Plains is the time to recover.

There must be no such thing as grain cheapness hurting the peasants.

This kid was full of calculations, and took away Lishan and took away my Qujiang Pond.

Zhang Yang bowed and said: "Your Majesty, this matter will be kept secret by the minister, and this place will be taken care of, even if someone comes to ask, it will explain that it is Your Majesty's intention." ”

Li Shimin said coldly: "I know that your Lishan has a lot of copper coins, and you have always refused to sell it to the court, just to wait for the opportunity, you can know that the wind and rain will be smooth in the next ten years, and you can also know the situation of this year, you have already planned." ”

Li Yue explained: "There is also a family called a meteorologist among the hundreds of princes, and the husband knows a little bit about the fur and can also speculate on the clues. ”

How is it possible to know the climate of the next ten years, but it can be deduced from some traces.

Zhenguan once governed more than he fought and accumulated a lot of family funds, which led to several later western expeditions, all of which reached the Persian border, and finally collided with the big cannibal.

Moreover, during the opening of the former Sui Grand Canal, the economic powerhouse led by Luoyang began to climb its economic status, and from that time on, the national strength of the Tang Dynasty reached its peak.

Looking at it now, it will take time for Li Shimin's capital to reach that point.

If you grovel to the emperor about business, the emperor will only look down on you.

You can't back down when you talk about business with the emperor, and once you retreat, you will get an inch.

Li Shimin looked down on Wei Zheng and looked down on Xu Jingzong.

This is the heroic spirit of the heroes of the Sui and Tang dynasties, and the reason why the current style of the court is so positive is also because the people in high positions in the court are also famous figures on the battlefield back then.

Everyone looks down on the kind of people who tend to be inflammatory, let alone flattering.

People praise heroes and heroes, and this sentence confirms the fierceness of the Tang Dynasty.

The emperor has the difficulties of the emperor, and the son-in-law not only thinks about the society, but also takes care of the family.

"Your Majesty, how are you thinking about it?"

Li Shimin nodded slowly, "It's not that I can't take out the 60,000 yuan, I will definitely return this silver money to you in the future, and the 30 million yuan in the future will be returned together." ”

Zhang Yang smiled and began to write notes.

I actually saw the mockery in this kid's smile, Li Shimin clenched his fists with both hands, closed his eyes and said, "You said that you want to make Datang rich and strong." ”

"I am your son-in-law, I will definitely help you if you are in trouble, no matter what, you are also Yue'er's father." Zhang Yang began to write, "My father-in-law, I hope that your ambition will not be wiped out by the wealth on the throne. ”

"Good! A good husband is a good man, this is my son-in-law. ”

"Please confirm the note."

Li Shimin just glanced at it and accepted the note, and when he stood up, his eyes fell on his daughter, "Yue'er, I am relieved to have such a husband to take care of you." ”

Li Yue bowed, "No matter what happens in the future, no one knows what life will become, as long as you share the blessings and misfortunes with your husband." ”

The Emperor nodded and left with the note.

Zhang Yang breathed a sigh of relief.

Li Yue stepped forward, took her husband's arm, and her smile was full of happiness and gentleness, "My husband originally wanted to help my father, and I had to negotiate conditions with my father like this." ”

"Daughter-in-law, let your father know that there is a price to be paid for getting help."

Looking at Li Shimin's back, Li Yue smiled and said: "In the husband's heart, the world needs an emperor who can work hard. ”

Holding his daughter-in-law's shoulders, Zhang Yang said: "I can't let your father think that Lishan is his money bag. ”

"The husband and the father are both idealistic people."

Family harmony is the best, and the relationship between the family and the emperor is not very harmonious, at least it is also a family.

Li Yue instructed Aunt Yang: "Please also ask Auntie to go to the village, and let Niu Chuang send someone to Longyou to ensure that the treasures and cotton sent by Gaochang can be sent to the village safely." ”

"Whoa."

In the future, it will be very difficult for his family to come up with 60,000 yuan of silver.

There was a bumper harvest of grain in Guanzhong, a bumper harvest of cotton in Gaochang, and a bunch of treasures along with it.

According to the letter sent by Adalan, last year he began to fight for many years and robbed a lot of treasures, which were also hoarded in the treasury of Gaochang Mansion.

Li Shimin was going to send an envoy to Gaochang, and since these treasures could not be handed over to the court, they could only be sent to the village.

Half a month later......

Gao Chang sent this year's newly harvested cotton to the village, and the wagons were full of cotton, and there were several more trips back and forth.

There is more cotton this year than last year, and the land on which cotton is planted was also won by Gaochang last year, and at the beginning of this year, those lands were only planted with cotton.

The cotton was already very light, and the wagons were not heavy to pull, so that the cotton on each wagon was piled up to two feet high.

After Li Xiaogong arranged for a human escort, the transportation of cotton was also safe.

After Lishan received this year's new cotton, Li Shimin also took out 60,000 yuan of silver by mistake.

It was a full 60,000 yuan, and when boxes of silver coins appeared in front of them, the eldest grandson Wuji and Fang Xuanling were shocked.

The court has obviously checked many times, where did Your Majesty get so much money.

Li Shimin said in a low voice: "Is this 60,000 guan enough?" ”

Fang Xuanling looked at the file in his hand, "The various ministries of the central government have taken out 40,000 guan, a total of 100,000 guan, which is enough." ”

】

"Forty thousand?"

Fang Xuanling nodded, "Among them, the Ministry of Rites took out a box of silver cakes, worth 20,000 yuan, which was ordered by Zhang Yang, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, saying that the court was in trouble, and he was duty-bound." ”

Li Shimin smiled again, there are hardships in the court, as a courtier, Zhang Yang naturally has the responsibility to contribute money and efforts.

As a son-in-law, he bargained with me, but he was not polite.

My good son-in-law.

The Foreign Service House is rich, and it is rich.

This is all known to the Six Ministries.

Even Li Baiyao's money, in addition to the court, can also receive the consistent money from the Foreign Affairs Yuan every month.

The same is true for officials in the Foreign Affairs Yuan, but all the staff of the Foreign Affairs Yuan, even if they are just small officials who deal with some idle chores, will have a hundred yuan a month.

This makes the other six also particularly envious.

It's not because of anything else, but that His Majesty's son-in-law is very wealthy, and many people can't figure out how rich Zhang Yang's family is.

After solving the matter of collecting grain, Li Shimin looked a lot more domineering when he walked.

Back at the Lizheng Palace, Li Shimin looked at Li Tai, "Qingque, you don't need to send these things to the palace in the future." ”

Li Tai was stunned and embarrassed and explained: "Erchen is just taking care of his younger brothers and sisters, which makes his father smile." ”

Li Shimin asked again: "I have something to ask you, you tell the truth." ”

"Erchen must explain truthfully."

"How much money do you have now?"

Li Tai thought about it in his heart, "Last month, 5,000 yuan was recorded, because the second cotton cloth factory in Lishan was opened, and now Erchen has a family foundation of 16,000 yuan, and the stumbling results at the beginning of the year are not good, and the silver money in Erchen's hands should be doubled from September." ”

Li Shimin was speechless when he heard this, and the 16,000 guan was still accumulated by stumbling from the beginning of the year to the present.

"How much does Zhang Yang's family have?"

"Erchen doesn't know."

"I really don't know?"

Li Tai lowered his head and whispered: "According to the division between Erchen and his brother-in-law, Erchen only took 30% of them, the other 70% was 10% for each family, and the brother-in-law took 50% alone, which has always been the case." ”

"So Zhang Yang's family has 100,000?"

"Father's words are inappropriate?"

"What's wrong?"

Li Tai explained again, "Most of the silver money in the hands of my brother-in-law was used in the construction of Lishan, and most of the income from the operation was used to build Lishan as soon as I got it. ”

is sinking down again, Li Shimin wants to laugh but can't laugh, if Qingque is right, let Zhang Yang take out 60,000 yuan is almost all his family funds.

Not to mention the silver money of the Ministry of Rites, it was the silver money obtained by Zhang Yang in the hands of the Japanese people, and these silver coins were placed in the Foreign Affairs Yuan since they were transported to Chang'an City, and he never touched them himself.

Lishan, Zhang Yang sneezed loudly while grilling meat skewers, and subconsciously tightened his clothes, "It's not cold this day, I'm afraid you will say bad things about me?" ”

Li Yuan took the tea handed by his granddaughter, "Yue'er, the wheat has been harvested, when can we make wine?" ”

"Why is Grandpa Huang so anxious?"

"It's okay not to drink the tea."

"Doctor Sun said that the emperor's grandfather can't drink too much water, it's not good for his health."

Li Yuan still shook his head, and then set his eyes on Zhang Yang.

"You always eat grilled chicken wings." Zhang Yang handed over a bunch and began to sort out a basket of chicken feet.

Li Yuan put down the tea in his hand and gnawed on the chicken wings with a mouthful of old teeth, "You lent Erlang 60,000 pieces of silver to collect grain for the official warehouse, are these silver coins enough?" ”

"These money are only used to deal with Guanzhong, as for the outside of Guanzhong, it will be handed over to the court to make a decision after being checked by the local government, and there is no need to be too anxious to deal with the things after that, and it is easy to turn around and dispatch."
