Chapter 731: Four million dollars were shipped back

Xiao Shougui understood that Li Xiang was going to test himself.

Although the people below have said that Xiao Shougui is doing a good job, and some important things can be handed over to him in the future, Li Xiang still inadvertently came up with an exam question, what others say is one thing, and what he saw with his own eyes is another thing.

"This person can be used, but we must always be vigilant against him, and knock it every once in a while, after all, it is a person who once led the army, if our management is too lax, there may be alternative ideas in the future."

Xiao Shougui blurted out directly, and didn't think about it for too long, if you think about it for too long, even if you answer it, which makes Li Xiang very satisfied, then you are just an ordinary talent in Li Xiang's heart, and in such a camp, there are too many ordinary talents.

"That's right, for the time being, you still have to stay in the Western Regions, this person will continue to beat him, as for Wadahan, except for giving him three meals a day, let him stay in it for the rest of the things, and he will not be allowed to touch anyone, and no pieces of paper will be allowed to flow out, after all, he will be imprisoned in the palace."

Xiao Shougui knew that Li Xiang was leaving, and there had been several documents from the imperial court, and Li Xiang had to rush to Nanzhao when he went back, so this was explaining the matter of the Western Regions.

"Please rest assured, Your Highness, you will never fall twice in the same place."

To put it bluntly this time, Xiao Shougui is also responsible, he and Su Lingfang both underestimated the person Warahan, and they were usually blinded by this guy, otherwise it would never have been possible for him to have any contact with the people outside, I thought that if he controlled all the troops, this guy would not be able to have other actions, it seems that he really underestimated this guy.

"I only give you one chance, including Su Dingfang, if you make too many mistakes, then I'm afraid you have to find a place to think about it, life is like sailing against the current, if you don't advance, you will retreat, if you keep standing still, then your back will surpass you."

Although Li Xiang's words were not very harsh, but Xiao Shougui was annoyed that there was still a sweat table on the door, what Li Xiang said was also the truth, after joining this camp, Xiao Shougui also saw a lot of capable people, these people's abilities are not worse than their own, the only thing missing is an opportunity, if you let these people seize the opportunity, then you may not have a chance in the future.

It doesn't matter if your mother is a princess, is there still a few princesses in the Tang Dynasty? To be in this position, your mother's favor has been exhausted, if you can't shine in this position, then you must also keep no dim light, and now this time there is a huge black spot.

"Wechen takes orders."

Xiao Shougui knelt on the ground, Li Xiang looked at the form in front of him, and then asked him to get up, there is no need to be so solemn when talking in private, but what should be beaten must also be beaten.

"Are all the gold and silver for the imperial court ready?"

At the beginning, there were many people in the imperial court who opposed the policy of the Western Regions, thinking that this was a matter of only spending money and not making money, so this time it was necessary to let the people in the imperial court see that Li Xiang was indeed making money in the Western Regions.

Hearing Li Xiang ask about serious things, Xiao Shougui also breathed a sigh of relief, which shows that our crisis has passed, Li Xiang still knows a little about this person, as long as it is about the right thing, it means that you will not be held accountable for your past affairs, but Xiao Shougui's heart can't relax, the feeling just now is indeed uncomfortable, he doesn't want to have a second time in this life.

"If you go back to Your Highness, all kinds of items worth a total of four million yuan have now been loaded, and there are more than ninety cars in total, and you will go to the capital with Your Highness."

In this catastrophe, Li Xiang found a total of 19 million yuan of various items, but Li Xiang could not hand over all of them to the imperial court, but at the same time, he had to hand over a part of them, and he had to let the imperial court see his ability, so that he would continue to hand over the affairs of the Western Regions to himself.

After a period of improvement, the tax revenue of the Tang Dynasty has changed from 12 million guan yuan per year to 16 million guan yuan, even if it has increased so much, the 4 million guan money that Li Xiang brought back is still very precious.

Li Shimin has all kinds of ambitions, including some domestic livelihood problems, he wants to hurry up and solve them, but no matter what things are solved, it costs money, this year is the same as the 21st century, basically nothing can be done without money, as long as Li Xiang can continue to transport money back, then Li Shimin's plans can be implemented, he will not go to Li Xiang for trouble.

Take this matter in the Western Regions as an example, Li You made such a big move, and almost let the Tang Dynasty and the Western Regions go to war, if it weren't for Li Xiang to calm this matter, the empire would now face war again, even if you killed Li You more than a dozen times, in the end, can you change all this?

People within the imperial court also began to fan the flames under the pretext, saying that the policy of the Western Regions was wrong from the beginning, and if we had been steady at the beginning and advanced westward step by step, we might not have as much territory as we have now, but it is unlikely that there will be so many crises.

In particular, there is no gain, all the harvest is on paper, Li Xiang must also transport this money back in order to slap these people in the face, let them know that the imperial court has gained a lot in the Western Regions, and will have to transport back a part of the money every year in the future, maybe not as much as this time, but it must also be more than two million yuan.

Only in this way can we shut up these people's mouths and let them know that the imperial court's income in the Western Regions is quite a lot, almost reaching about one-eighth of the annual income, don't underestimate this one percent, if it can be continuously transported back, many of Li Shimin's wishes can be realized, so that they can get his support, as for the officials from all walks of life within the imperial court, Li Shimin will be able to block Li Xiang.

"This time General Cheng stayed, I took Su Dingfang back to the capital, and went to Nanzhao Kingdom with me, if there is anything that needs to be handed over, you hurry up and let them go down to hand over, General Cheng's temper is a little hotter, but he is also dedicated to my Datang."

Li Xiang thought about it and let these people be replaced, Su Dingfang has a lot of military achievements outside, so he should let others play a ......
