Chapter 12 Why did His Majesty start chattering again?
Everyone in the world thinks that since the whole world belongs to them.
This means that all the money in the world is at your disposal.
Speaking of this, Li Er felt the urge to vomit blood.
If it were really like what people all over the world think, and all the tax money is at your own disposal, you would probably wake up laughing in your dreams.
People all over the world pay taxes, which is the revenue of the national treasury.
The revenue from the treasury is mainly used to carry out major events in the world, such as providing relief to the victims in case of natural disasters.
When enemies invade, use it to purchase food and grass, build weapons, armor, and other infrastructure.
And all the money in the treasury is under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Household Affairs, and what I said does not count at all.
Even if you want to use the money from the treasury, you have to discuss it with the officials in the court.
It must be used for all correct purposes. If it is for eating, drinking and having fun, and the officials object, there is nothing you can do.
Of course, in addition to the money from the national treasury, I also have some private money.
This private money is managed by specialized people and belongs to you, and you can use it freely no matter what you want to do.
When the new emperor ascended the throne, he also received the private money of the previous emperor from his own hands, but his situation was a bit special.
His father's private money is still managed by his father, which has caused his current embarrassing situation!
But this time Li Er knew that the purchase of the Quyuan plow stick could not be purchased with private money.
Returning to Chang'an City, he entered the palace, summoned officials from the Ministry of Works, and showed them the plow stick.
When the officials from the Ministry of Works saw the plow stick in front of them, they all showed doubtful expressions.
By the way, what is your majesty doing with a plow stick?
It's just that this plow stick has similarities and differences with the plow sticks used by the people of the Tang Dynasty, but no one understands!
It wasn't until Li Er took a group of them to the Royal Garden for a test in person that everyone's jaws dropped.
Isn't this Quyuanli too pretty?
Everyone couldn't believe what they were seeing.
"Everyone, this curved shaft plow staff was made and presented to me by a craftsman from the Tang Dynasty.
I feel quite satisfied, what do you think?"
"I congratulate Your Majesty and congratulate Your Majesty on obtaining such a magical weapon.
Your Majesty, compared to my Tang Dynasty plow staff, the curved shaft plow staff uses much less materials, making it more convenient to build.
No matter in every aspect, it is much better than the plow stick I have in Datang."
"According to my will, this thing is given to you to make dozens of pairs.
After the construction is completed, it will be transported to the surrounding cities so that the people of Tang Dynasty can start farming in the coming spring.
They can all use this new plow pole."
"Your Majesty is wise, Your Majesty is wise!"
Seeing everything in front of him, Li Er couldn't help but sigh. This feeling was really wonderful, and he felt very comfortable.
…
"Your Majesty, what is it that makes Your Majesty so happy?"
After arranging the completion department, Li Er returned to Tai Chi Hall, continued to review and approve the memorial, and began the hard and busy time.
As evening approached, Empress Changsun and her party came to the Tai Chi Hall with boiled chicken soup, ready to be given to His Majesty.
After entering the Tai Chi Hall and coming to the desk, she was so happy to see His Majesty's face that Queen Changsun couldn't help but ask.
"Guanyin Maid?"
"Your Majesty, what is it that makes Your Majesty so happy that even Your Majesty didn't notice that my concubine is here?"
"Ha ha ha ha."
"You still remember, what I told you before, I and the auxiliary machine went outside Chang'an and met a Zhuangzi.
What happened there?
Today, I went there again. This time, I didn't go in vain. I got another divine object, the Quyu Plow Staff.
This new plow stick is at least a hundred times better than the existing plow stick we have in Datang.
I am happy, I am happy for the people of my world."
Li Eryue said, becoming more and more excited, and his whole body couldn't help but tremble.
He was a good emperor, but when he ascended the throne, the Turks from the north went south and came to Chang'an City.
Seeing Chang'an City being surrounded by millions of Turkic troops.
However, there were only more than 100,000 soldiers in the city, which was no match for the Turks.
Fortunately, I used a series of methods to trick the Turks back, and even signed an alliance with the Turks.
All the property in Chang'an City was evacuated and given to the Turks.
In addition, tribute must be paid on time every year. Thinking of these humiliations, Li Er's heart aches.
These hateful Turks.
"Your Majesty cares about the people. If everyone in the world knew this, they would definitely be grateful to Your Majesty.
But your majesty, don’t be so busy and hurt your health. This is the chicken soup specially prepared by my concubine to replenish your health!”
As she spoke, Queen Changsun opened the jar, filled a bowl, and placed it in front of Li Er.
"Thank you for your hard work, Maid Guanyin."
"Your Majesty, this is what a concubine should do!"
In the next few days, Li Er has been working hard in the palace.
On the other side, the Ministry of Industry, with drawings and samples, the blacksmith began to build it.
Dozens of samples have all been built. After listening to this, Li Er arranged his manpower and transported them to the nearby city. Early morning.
"If you have something to do, start to act, if nothing happens, leave the court!"
As the personal eunuch beside Li Er shouted these words, the ministers below stood up one after another and talked to His Majesty about the matter.
"Your Majesty, we are carrying out this disaster relief work steadily.
The food allocated in the south has also been arriving one after another towards our Chang'an City."
After hearing this, Li Er was very satisfied, then nodded and looked at the other ministers.
One by one, the ministers finished explaining the matter and stood aside, waiting quietly.
Li Er, who was sitting above, glanced at the ministers and said.
"Everyone, I got a new-style plow stick these days.
I have handed it over to the Ministry of Industry to build it and prepare to promote it in various cities.
Let me tell you where the officials from the Ministry of Industry are."
When an official from the Ministry of Works stood up and introduced the new plow stick to everyone, everyone was shocked.
Good thing, everyone can understand it, this is completely the level of an artifact.
It is simply a blessing for the Tang Dynasty to obtain such a thing.
"Where are the officials from the Ministry of Household Affairs?
I want to allocate 10,000 guan of money from the Ministry of Household Affairs to reward the craftsmen who donated this item. What do you think?"
However, just when everyone lamented that this plow stick was a sacred object.
After hearing His Majesty say that 10,000 guan of money would be allocated from the treasury, the ministers stopped shouting for a while.
Everyone stood aside and began to be miserable.
"Your Majesty, it's just a plow stick. Isn't it a bit too much to allocate 10,000 yuan?"
