Li Eryi stretched out his hand and overturned the thick stack of watches and stamps on his desk to the ground.
"This is a remonstrance, asking me not to change the uniforms of the imperial army. The youngest of these people is fifty-three years old, and there are more than ninety people around sixty-five years old. They just say don't spend money, don't do it."
Spend money, and the money should be kept in the treasury for emergencies!”
"I can't wait!" five officials from the Ministry of Household Affairs shouted in unison.
Then a minister from the Ministry of Revenue said: "Your Majesty, please let me make a plan. The change of clothes will be completed within three years!"
"You're done!" Li Er scolded with a smile and then laughed.
The five officials from the Ministry of Revenue were all confused, and all eyes were focused on Cui Junsu.
At this time, if he didn't stand up and speak, he would have no way to explain to the emperor or to his subordinates. He bowed to Li Er and then handed over to his subordinates: "The treasury is empty, except for that non-
Except for the forbidden warehouses that can only be used to shake the country's foundation, even rats starve to death in the remaining warehouses. In the warehouses where coins are kept, apart from necessary expenses, there are only 130,000 silver coins that can be used!"
Li Er smiled and walked back to the throne, motioning for everyone to sit down as well.
"Thank you!" After thanking you, everyone sat down.
Cui Junsu did not sit down. After thanking him, he walked to the middle of the study: "Although the treasury is empty, if His Highness the King of Qin wants to go to war, as long as there is sufficient reason, it will not be a problem for an army of 300,000 to fight for a year. I asked His Highness the King of Qin, and His Highness the King of Qin asked me,
Under what circumstances will a war begin?"
"That's a good sentence. Under what circumstances will a war start?" Li Er praised with a high-five.
"Your Highness, I remember that when the main hall was responding, I thought I was not qualified to participate, but a sentence was spread. His Highness King Qin said that war is to serve the national interests. Only now do you understand, so His Highness King Qin left Chang'an a few days ago
At that time, I went to ask for advice again and got an interesting answer!"
"Tell me and listen!" Li Er slid down a little.
At this time, Cui Junsu represented Tianying Pavilion, Hubu, and aristocratic families, so his words were very important at this time.
"Your Majesty, according to the treasury ledger, there is a conservative estimate of 8 million guan. Taking into account the two cities, there should be 12 million guan. This is a huge amount of money. It is the total income of the Tang Dynasty treasury for several years.
.But this is an account, not cash. Speaking of grain, the Tang Dynasty owes 30 million tons of grain, 300,000 bolts of fine linen, 40,000 bolts of coarse silk, and 5,000 bolts of fine silk. And, each
Plant one hundred thousand ordnance!”
After Cui Junsu finished speaking, a head of the household department said: "Cui Shangshu, these owed accounts are only tens of thousands of guan or dozens of guan. I just don't understand. Where is the money on the account now? The inventory is already empty.
!”
Cui Junsu responded with a salute: "Please tell me slowly!"
The head of the household department saluted and sat back down.
"I dare to ask your Majesty! I dare to ask all my colleagues! How much money are Liaocheng and Jian'an worth? The book figures just mentioned by a certain person do not include these two cities. They are just the side income after acquiring these two cities. Still
There are many benefits, and I am not just trying to explain it, but I can’t explain it clearly, and I am even more afraid of misleading everyone.”
"Without battle reports, how can we talk about the construction of Liaocheng?" Some officials didn't understand!
Li Er just said: "My fifth brother said that he wanted to capture Jian'an. If he said he could capture it, then Jian'an must have been returned to the Tang Dynasty. As for Liao City, Li Jing of the Ministry of War personally conquered it. I don't believe there will be any losses!"
"In other words, at least one city will be captured!" An official asked this, and the others showed contempt.
Even Cui Junsu was thinking that there was such a fool among his men, and he would transfer him to do hard work when he came back.
You said there was at least one city, but which city was not captured?
Are you embarrassing Li Jing, or are you embarrassing King Qin?
After all, Li Er was the emperor, so naturally he would not show off to his ministers for such a trivial matter. He just said lightly: "I thought we could attack both cities."
The official also felt that he had made a mistake, so he stepped back and sat back in his chair without saying anything.
Cui Junsu then said: "Your Majesty, please leave this small transaction to the merchants. It is normal for the large part to take some time due to the need for accounting. There are small transactions, and the Mohe people and the Khitan people also get
Therefore, let them send people to calculate the bulk part together. As for the delay, it is not the fault of either party!"
Li Er nodded, then shook his head: "It is important for the country to break the trust of a small country, and it will be detrimental to the Tang Dynasty!"
"Give them the inventory of old weapons from the Ministry of War first. If they don't need to be renovated, let them take them away. If they need to be renovated, it will naturally take time."
Cui Junsu suggested again!
Li Er still shook his head: "Let your Tianying Pavilion discuss this matter, so as not to damage Datang's credibility!"
"Yes!" Cui Junsu bowed and saluted.
"It's feasible for businessmen. But it must be registered with the Ministry of Commerce. If you break your promise once, you will be banned from business forever!" After Li Er thought about it for a while, he still issued this order.
Cui Junsu was overjoyed: "Yes, Your Majesty!"
Li Er waved his hand: "Go down and bring a charter within five days for me to review."
The ministers retreated, and when the door closed, Li Er's brows widened. He was very satisfied with the result. The original plan was to tie the family to the war, and to achieve the goal with a small profit, how could Li Er be unhappy.
Cui Junsu left, and three household officials under his Cui family got very close to him.
The other two were naturally not troublesome and found an excuse to leave first.
"Cui Shangshu, I am confused. Does the Ministry of Revenue have enough money and food for a 300,000-strong army to go on an expedition for a year?"
"You know, the national treasury does not have it, but the warehouses of various aristocratic families do. In the past, wars were a matter of spending money and consuming food and grass. But His Highness the King of Qin sent troops, and if you dare to invest one cent of your capital, you will get three cents of profit." Cui Junsu also had a smile on his face.
It seems that people still don’t understand.
Cui Junsu added: "When you have time, go and talk to the officials of Prince Qin's Mansion. Their knowledge is much higher than yours!"
"Someone can be taught a lesson!"
"This time he went to Liaodong to vent his anger. In fact, His Highness the King of Qin was planning to suppress the development of Goguryeo. The Tang Dynasty sent elite troops at a cost of about 180,000 guan. The Mohe and Khitan people sent troops, and the Tang Dynasty paid about
Six hundred thousand guan. But how much is actually obtained? Not to mention Liaocheng and Jian'an, the caravan trade of over 10 million guan is already a conservative estimate!"
Cui Junsu really wanted to say something.
Your Highness the King of Qin, when you were in heaven, were you the God of Wealth?
"Then Your Majesty?" The official didn't understand again: "What the businessman said!"
"I will only say it once. You must think carefully and don't spread it to outsiders. I first said that if His Highness King Qin needs to go on an expedition, even if there is not a grain of food in the treasury, there will still be money and food to support His Highness King Qin's expedition for a year. This is an attitude that all families will follow.
I will do my best to support His Highness King Qin."
"Your Highness is brave and brave, you should support him!"
Cui Junsu added: "The Holy One allowed merchants to participate in the transaction this time, which is different from the original merchant transaction!"
"What's the difference?"
"Last time, the merchants only traded on behalf of the Household Department, and all the proceeds naturally returned to the treasury. The merchants earned just a foothold. This time, the Holy Spirit allowed the merchants to trade, which meant that some small transactions were allowed for the merchants to make profits! The treasury charges are reasonable.
Just heavy taxes.”
Cui Junsu really wants to curse, these subordinates are really stupid.
He knows how to settle accounts and his mind, but he doesn't have any money-mindedness.
The country is rich and the people are poor, and the people are rich and the country is poor! Both of these are extremely wrong. Just for Cui Junsu to understand this truth, Li Yuanxing really wanted to break his head.
To be honest, these guys are like lumps of elm wood.
However, if the family can benefit, they will slowly understand.
For example, this time in Liaodong, the Tang Dynasty won a great victory, and the Tang Dynasty gained a new city, so that their family could get a share of the profits. In other words, even if the Tang Dynasty failed, their family would not be much better off.
Changing one's mind is a process, and Li Yuanxing also believes that there is no need to rush it.
Today is the day to return to modern times, and Li Yuanxing is packing his luggage happily.
"Is it like going on a trip?" Wu Zhao suddenly asked as he was sorting out the items in the list.
This question really confused Li Yuanxing.
Wu Zhao asked again: "Okay, let's change the question. Tell me, is this like going home or going on a trip? Or, you packed a small one and you are going to spend the weekend with your mistress!"
"Bullshit!" Li Yuanxing laughed and cursed.
"It's not nonsense, you are avoiding this problem. That side is your home. It has almost everything for you." Wu Zhao said, coming to Li Yuanxing: "If you stay in the Tang Dynasty and don't return to modern times, what will happen to you?
How much nostalgia do you have for the Tang Dynasty? On the contrary, if you stay in modern times and do not return to the Tang Dynasty, how much nostalgia will you have for the Tang Dynasty?"
Li Yuanxing pursed his lips and stared at Wu Zhao.
"You can't answer it. Don't tell me that you have to reply. It's all lies." Wu Zhao had a bit of pride on his face!
"Okay, I admit, I prefer Datang." Li Yuanxing spread his hands and replied helplessly.
Wu Zhao then smiled: "Here, you are so high. Thousands of heads will fall to the ground with a wave of your hand. You can decide the fate of countless people. You have many women here, and there will be more women."
I am willing to come to you. On the contrary, what do you have in modern times? Your destiny is not in your own hands."
"No! What you are talking about is just superficial. Although I like Datang, it does not mean that you can use these superficial things to make comparisons." Li Yuanxing completely refuted Wu Zhao's words for the first time. After speaking, he gently supported Wu Zhao.
Zhao's face: "Don't think of your man so superficially, don't forget that I am the King of Qin of the Tang Dynasty. King of Qin is not only a title or title, but also a state!"
Whether it was Ye Qiu Shuang in the past or Wu Zhao now. Not to mention such a completely negative attitude, there were also not many mistakes. This time, Wu Zhao really guessed wrong about Li Yuanxing's innermost thoughts. (Unfinished)
