Chapter 497: Wind and Thunder Qianzhuang can sponsor His Majesty to seal Zen!
Li Shimin nodded with a smile.
"In good years, private wineries can be encouraged to make wine, and in bad years, they are strictly restricted."
He said,
"In addition, the imperial court does not set up a separate winery, so it is beneficial to the people, Wei Aiqing is satisfied?"
Wei Zheng thought for a moment and bowed slightly.
"Yes."
The eldest grandson Wuji laughed and said:
"Since the Taishi proposed a solution, and Duke Wei also recognized it, the low price of grain can always be regarded as His Majesty's merit, right?"
"With this merit, can Your Majesty be canonized?"
Hearing this, Wei Zheng shook his head again.
"I don't deny Your Majesty's merits, but if you want to say Feng Zen, I still don't approve of it."
He said,
"The emperor has merits, naturally it will be recorded in the history books, and it will be known to the world?"
"If you want to say that you are dedicated to the emperor of heaven and earth, there is an altar of sacrifice to heaven on the outskirts of Chang'an, which can also tell heaven and earth, why do you have to go to Mount Tai? Could it be that Mount Tai is more enlightened, and the heavens can receive it more? ”
"I don't think so, right?"
Wei Zheng's words made the eldest grandson Wuji's face pull down.
"Feng Zen Mount Tai is a grand event!"
He retorted,
"In the past, Qin Shi Huang and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty all sealed Mount Tai and were praised by the world!"
"My Majesty's martial arts and martial arts are not inferior to the Qin Emperor and Han Wu, but he is an emperor through the ages, and he should follow suit!"
Wei Zheng sneered.
"Qin Shi Huang and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty were enshrined in Mount Tai, but does this mean that they are the first emperor of the ages?"
He also retorted,
"Qin Shi Huang and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty are both emperors who are reckless and inconsiderate of the people's strength, under their rule, how many people can't eat?"
"I think that their behavior is not worth emulating!"
"The real Ming Jun and virtuous monarch, such as Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty, have you ever been able to enshrine Mount Tai? He didn't, but who can deny the virtuous ability of Emperor Wen of Han? The world praises Emperor Wen of Han as the first emperor of the following three generations! With the current situation of my Datang, what Your Majesty wants to emulate should also be Emperor Wen of Han! ”
He was also the second generation of monarchs who founded the country.
It's also a waste to be rebuilt.
Li Shimin's situation is indeed somewhat similar to that of Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty.
"Qin Shi Huang and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty are not the first emperors of the ages?"
The eldest grandson sneered,
"What a joke! You, a civil servant, have no idea how much credit they have! ”
Wei Zheng also sneered and said:
"I am Wenchen, you are also Wenchen, you and I have both survived in troubled times, and we have both led soldiers, why, your eldest grandson is more knowledgeable than my Wei Zheng?"
"Emperor Qin and Han Wu are indeed meritorious, but it is undeniable that under their rule, the life of the people is very hard! And the most important point is that these two emperors are so happy! ”
"Have you ever thought about how much manpower, material and financial resources it will take for the emperor to go on a patrol?"
"Running to Mount Tai, the emperor and the ministers may be comfortable, but it is actually the people who are tossing! It has been more than ten years since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, and disasters are frequent, and it was not until last year that the first harvest year was ushered in! ”
"It's hard for the people to have a full bite to eat, but they have to sacrifice the people's strength and people's wealth, just for a false name, why bother?"
These words made the eldest grandson Wuji fall into silence.
After a while, he whispered:
"At every turn, we will talk about people's power and people's money...... Even if there is some consumption, it is all paid by the state treasury, where is the common people looted? ”
Wei Zheng smiled.
"The words of the eldest grandson are not level, where does the money in the treasury come from? It's not the common people who pay taxes? ”
He answered,
"With this money, you can do a lot of practical things, so why be pragmatic and not pragmatic?"
At this time, the eldest grandson Wuji was completely speechless.
Li Shimin, who was sitting on the dragon chair, listened to the debate between the two, and finally jumped out to play a round and said:
"Wei Zheng has some truth in what he said."
"The real Mingjun doesn't need to rely on Fengzen Mount Tai to prove himself."
"Although I have some intentions, I can't move my buttocks, and if I move, mountains of gold and silver will be swallowed up."
"Not to mention anything else, just last year, I went to the palace, and the cost was quite large, ten times greater than the cost in the palace, which scared me!"
"Huh...... I have received the kindness of all Aiqing, but this Zen thing is ......"
Feng Chan is such a big face and prestige, which emperor doesn't want to do it?
Of course, Li Shimin also wants to, and has the ability to do so.
But he finally adopted Wei Zheng's advice - pragmatic and not pragmatic.
However, at this moment, a voice came.
"What if you don't need to take the benefit of all the people, you can make a trip to Mount Tai?"
Xu Feng said loudly,
"Your Majesty would like to go?"
Phew.
The eyes in the Liangyi Hall all converged on Xu Fenglei's body.
Wei Zheng's eyes showed a look of doubt.
According to what he knows about the Taishi, he is not a person who will support Feng Zen!
"Huh?"
Li Shimin was surprised,
"If there is no need to take the benefit of all the people, then whose benefit will it be? Wei Aiqing said just now that the money in the treasury is the benefit of all the people, and it can't be moved! ”
Xu Fenglei smiled.
"The minister is not talented, and he is willing to use the power of one person for His Majesty to seal Mount Tai!"
He held his head high.
Li Shimin: "?! ”
Ministers: "?! ”
Crazy, right? Too much money to spend too much?
This is a sealed Zen! It's not as simple as the emperor going on a trip, he has to bring a lot of civil and military officials, and even foreign envoys have to go to Mount Tai to witness!
It was a great event! A very expensive event!
It's not that everyone doesn't believe in Xu Fenglei's financial resources, but they just think that his brain is suddenly funny.
Nothing to do, do charity? Or do you slap the emperor's ass?
Then there is too much blood coming out, and with his status, it seems that there is no need for this......
"You want one person to make offerings?"
Li Shimin's eyes flashed, and he said,
"Really?"
"Listen, when did you become so generous? That's not a small amount! ”
Li Er was so excited that all the words he shouted on weekdays were shouted.
Apparently, he was delighted.
"Money is such a thing, if you don't bring it in life or in death, why do you want so much?"
Xu Fenglei smiled lightly,
"It is the dream of every emperor to seal Mount Tai, and it must also be the dream of His Majesty."
"I am willing to spend all my family wealth to achieve this dream for Your Majesty!"
"Is Your Majesty willing?"
Li Shimin: "!! ”
"Yes, yes, of course!"
Li Er's eyes narrowed into a slit, and he said happily,
"Atmospheric, Taishi is really atmospheric! Hahaha......"
"You're embarrassed to be so kind to me, do you have any extra requirements?"
"Yes." Xu Fenglei grinned.
Li Shimin chuckled in his heart.
Sure enough, where would this kid be willing to be the wronged leader, there must be a doorway here!
Li Er restrained his smile slightly, raised his hand and said:
"Say."
"As long as it's not too much, I'll do it."
He wants to see what the conspiracy behind Xu Fenglei's kid is willing to bleed so much!
"Yes."
Xu Feng said loudly,
"Fang Caichen's statement that he will provide His Majesty with his own strength to enshrine Mount Tai is not accurate."
"To be precise, it is to use the financial resources of Fenglei Qianzhuang in the name of the minister to provide economic support for His Majesty's enshrinement."
When the ministers heard this, they were all stunned.
Oh, Wind Thunder Money.
That's understandable, after all, Fenglei Qianzhuang can even support the army, and there is naturally no pressure to seal Zen once.
"There are three requests from the minister."
Xu Fengleidao,
"First, since Feng Chan is sponsored by Feng Lei Qian Zhuang, then this Feng Chan trip must also be named by Feng Lei Qian Zhuang!"
"When the decree is promulgated, the name of Fenglei Qianzhuang must be bred, and when it is recorded in the history books, it cannot be left behind."
"All in all, let the world and future generations know that Your Majesty's sealing of Zen is supported by Fenglei Qianzhuang!"
The corners of Li Shimin's mouth twitched slightly.
"You want to be famous!"
He snorted coldly,
"Why, you dislike that the business is too small, you are not satisfied with the status quo, and you want to do the business of the world?"
Xu Fenglei nodded decisively.
"Your Majesty, that's exactly the case."
He answered,
"The money business in Chang'an, there is no growth, and it needs to be developed to ensure profits."
"At the same time, the existence of Qian Zhuang has also greatly mobilized the circulation of wealth, making Chang'an's economic growth and making people really feel the development, which is a blessing, and the minister feels that the time is ripe, and wants to share this blessing with the world."
"Therefore, the minister's second request is to ask Your Majesty to allow Fenglei Qianzhuang to expand and go to all parts of Datang."
Li Shimin snorted coldly.
"Blessing, is it the blessing of all the people, or is it your blessing?"
He said angrily,
"Speaking better than singing, the biggest benefit is not taken by you!"
Xu Fenglei rolled his eyes.
It's as if you don't occupy it, you have the most shares in the royal family, and you sit there every year and wait for dividends!
"A piece of meat, you eat it, I eat it, everyone eats it, there is always one person who wants to eat the biggest piece, this is inevitable."
He arched his hand and said,
"But at the very least, everyone can eat something, even if it's just a little minced meat and oil stars, it's a real benefit."
"Your Majesty, you can't just throw away the meat just because someone wants to eat the biggest piece of meat, so that everyone doesn't have to eat it, right?"
"Fallacies." Li Shimin pursed his lips and muttered.
But he didn't refute it anymore, after all, he was also the one who ate the biggest and fattest piece of meat.
"There is no ban in the imperial court, you can naturally open as many as you want."
Li Er waved his hand and said,
"What are you doing here?"
Since you can open the first one, you can naturally open the second one.
Of course, it is absolutely forbidden for others to open a bank, and Datang can only have one bank to carry out financial business, which is completely monopolistic.
"It is extremely risky to open a money bank, after all, wealth is moving, so it is natural to need the support of His Majesty."
Xu Fenglei Zhengsedao,
"The reason why Chang'an's Fenglei Qianzhuang has been opened so smoothly has not been robbed and stolen for many years, thanks to the support of Jingzhao Mansion and the protection of Jin Wuwei day and night, in order to ensure that the silver is not lost."
"But after leaving Chang'an and losing asylum, there is a risk of theft."
"Therefore, every time a money village is opened, the local government needs to send soldiers to provide security services."
Hearing this, some of the ministers in the queue couldn't help but shout:
"To do business, you also need the protection of the imperial court, and the government is not the only one who is your master!"
"That is, if you do business, you will do business, what does it have to do with the imperial court? Why should a part of the force be allocated to provide protection? ”
"Your Majesty, the minister is against it!"
"The minister is also opposed, the Taishi's request is too much!"
“……”
Several young imperial historians jumped out and loudly refuted.
They only hold righteousness, and they are not afraid of Xu Fenglei's high power!
"Did you hear it all?"
Li Shimin said with a calm face,
"How can the power of the imperial court be used to protect commerce? Shinong industry and commerce, business is in the last! ”
"If I agree, won't I elevate the status of a merchant to the head of the imperial court?"
"Such excessive demands, Hugh will mention it again!"
In the face of bursts of verbal criticism, Xu Fenglei just smiled, as if he had expected it.
Most of the things in this world can be solved with money.
If it can't be solved, it must be that there is not enough money.
"Your colleagues are right, for no reason, how can the imperial court and the local government provide security for the store?"
He said aloud,
"So the minister proposes to add a silver tax! Charge an additional heavy tax for the bank! ”
"The collection of silver tax by the imperial court can greatly increase the tax revenue of the state treasury, and at the same time, give some protection to large taxpayers to ensure the normal operation of the silver industry from theft and robbery."
"The minister does not want the court to provide convenience and privileges, but just wants the money bank to operate smoothly and not be harmed."
Not protecting?
I'll throw a large amount of protection money in front of you!
Just ask you if you are impressed?
After all, this is not bribery and an exchange of benefits, it is just seeking refuge and not wanting to be robbed by thieves.
Protecting the safety of people's lives and property is the duty of the government!
As soon as these words came out, the young imperial historians were silent.
Collecting heavy taxes is a matter of interest to the country, and there is no reason to oppose it.
"Hmm......"
Li Shimin fell into thought.
After a moment, he said:
"For these three requirements, you are willing to contribute to all the expenses of supporting Taishan Mountain?"
Xu Fenglei smiled slightly.
"Yes, not only you, but also all the entourage, such as attendants, ministers, guards, etc., are all covered."
He said,
"As long as Your Majesty agrees to the minister's three conditions, you don't need Your Majesty and the court to pay a penny."
Li Shimin's brows were tangled.
"The matter...... Rong Zhen thought about it. ”
He shook his head and waved,
"Let's not talk about it for now."
"Yes." Xu Fenglei retreated into the queue, looking confident.
Li Er is just twisting it at this time, it is impossible for him not to agree!
"Let's talk about something else!"
Li Shimin said casually,
"Ladies and gentlemen, do you still have political affairs?"
Zong Zhengqing is listed.
"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince should be crowned, may I ask when Your Majesty will hold the coronation ceremony?"
Holding the wat board, he arched his hand and asked,
"There are many auspicious days for the zodiac in February, and it is feasible to do it, is it in February?"
"Cheng Qian is going to be crowned......"
Li Shimin said with emotion,
"It's February, and it's the busy farming season, so it's not suitable for a grand ceremony to disturb the farmers to sow seeds."
"Change it to October! It doesn't matter if the auspicious day is not auspicious, the key is not to disturb the people's work and rest, at that time there was nothing in the world, just to do this ceremony, I want to personally crown the prince! After that, the crown prince can also assist me in governance! ”
