Zhenguan Han-in-law

Chapter 76

When Li Shimin heard Dai Zhou's words, he sat there and pondered. Now that the Turks were always on the side of the bandits, the pressure on the border was very high.

"Your Majesty, in any case, this time, I will send 20 kangaroos of money, and I will send it from the capital to the border within ten days!" Dai Zhou looked at Li Shimin and continued.

"Well, how much food can your Ministry of Civil Affairs raise within ten days?" Li Shimin thought for a while and asked.

"Go back to Your Majesty, at most 3 yuan!" Dai Zhou lowered his head and said, he really couldn't get any money.

"It's only that little, and you're still short of 17 guan?" Li Shimin looked at Dai Zhou in surprise and asked.

"Yes, in the past few years, the military expenditure has been high, and the Ministry of Civil Affairs has been unable to make ends meet, so there is really no money." Dai Zhou still lowered his head and said.

Li Shimin stood up, walked down, and then paced in the study of Ganlu Hall, thinking of a way.

After a while, Li Shimin opened his mouth and said, "Go back first and think of a way. I also think of a way to see if I can raise all the money."

"Yes, Your Majesty, please forgive your sins, it is the minister who is ineffective." Dai Zhou cupped his hands and said to Li Shimin.

Li Shimin waved his hand and motioned for him to go out.

"Go and call Lizhi over, and I will ask her if I have anything!" Li Shimin said to Wang De beside him.

"Your Majesty, it's possible that Her Royal Highness, the president, is going out. She is going out every day during this time." Wang De thought about it, looked at Li Shimin and asked.

"Well, when you go out, tell the maid in his palace and tell Li Zhi to come to the Ganlu Palace when you come back." Li Shimin said to Wang De.

Wang De immediately handed over and went out.

And Li Lizhi did go out. Now that Wei Hao has been arrested, the matter of the paper workshop and the ceramic workshop has all fallen on her, especially the batch of ceramics that just came out of the kiln, which needs to be sold now. Fortunately, those ceramics are not worried about selling, and now Li Lizhi has been collecting money.

In the evening, Li Lizhi took 4 kan money back to the palace, and sent it into the inner purse. Now there is a lot of money in the inner purse. Li Lizhi saw that there were almost [-] coin in the warehouse, and she was very satisfied. Thinking that there is no problem with the internal money this year, the marriage with the eldest brother, the money is almost spent, it is estimated that there is still [-] yuan of money, and the remaining money is enough for the expenses of the internal money this year.

Returning to her own bedroom, she learned from the maid that the emperor was looking for her, so she brought one of the dishes she brought back from Juxianlou to the Lizheng Hall, and she took the other to the Ganlu Hall. She hasn't eaten yet.

"Imperial Father!" After Li Lizhi entered the Ganlu Palace, she saw Li Shimin reading the memorial and shouted with a smile.

"Lizhi is back? Oh, I came back with the dishes, just as the emperor has not eaten yet!" When Li Shimin heard Li Lizhi's voice, he looked up and said with a smile.

"Bring it here on purpose for my father to eat." Li Lizhi said with a smile.

Wang De, who was on the side, immediately took it over, brought out the meals, and at the same time asked others to bring the pie.

"Father, this is duck leg, and this is stir-fried mutton!" Li Lizhi smiled and served Li Shimin with vegetables.

"You can eat it too. It's still my daughter. Others don't have the ability to bring food from Juxianlou!" Li Shimin said to Li Lizhi with a smile.

"Hee hee, the father wants to eat it, and my daughter will bring it to you in the future!" Li Lizhi said happily.

This is indeed his privilege, and the entire Juxian Building can only take food away as a guest.

"Well, girl, I want to ask you, how much money does Wei Hao have, and how much can you borrow this time? Also, how much can you get in ten days?" Li Shimin sat there, looking at Li Li. questioned.

"Ah, within ten days? Well, now Wei Hao's side has almost 7 kan money, you know, 3 kan money is the money from the previous batch of selling porcelain, and the other 3 kan money is the deposit received. The second ceramics can be sold for about [-] kan, but because of the deposit, it is estimated that it can only be about [-] kan. Today, I got back [-] kan. Tomorrow, after buying the porcelain, there are still about [-] kan. "

Li Lizhi immediately reported it to Li Shimin, then looked at Li Shimin and asked, "Father, is the court short of money?"

"Well, there is a shortage of money, there is a shortage of money at the border, and the shortfall is 20 yuan!" Li Shimin nodded heavily.

"20 yuan? Father, it's not enough. Wei Hao and I can get up to 12 yuan in ten days. Now that Wei Hao is locked up in the cell, porcelain can't be burned. If it can be burned, it can be made." Twenty to thirty thousand coins, that's about it." Li Lizhi thought about it, looked at Li Shimin and said.

"You said to let Wei Hao out?" Li Shimin looked at Li Li and asked.

"Father, why don't you let it go? If you let it go, Uncle Cheng and the others will definitely have an opinion, and they will retaliate against Wei Hao." Li Lizhi thought about it and said.

"The royal father also thought so. It is safe to let him in, and when they are out of anger, this matter will not be a matter, but if it is released now, isn't this obvious favoritism?" Li Shimin nodded. said.

"However, there is still 7 yuan of money left, what should I do?" Li Lizhi looked at Li Shimin and continued to ask.

"The Ministry of Civil Affairs can raise 3 yuan! It's still 4 yuan!" Li Shimin continued.

"Then, Royal Father, there are still about 2 yuan in the inner pocket. You still need to talk to your mother about this matter. If all are transferred, other people in the harem may have opinions." Li Lizhi continued. Remind Li Shimin said.

"Oh, you still have 2 yuan in your wallet?" Li Shimin looked at Li Lizhi in surprise when he heard this.

"Father, what do the officials in the court do? How about a Wei Hao?" Li Lizhi said with a bit of dissatisfaction.

"Silly girl, there are many places where money is needed in the courthouse. In recent years, the taxation in the world has only been about 100 million yuan, and the Turks are constantly robbing the border. There is no way. Most of the money is consumed at the border. , In addition, the world has been in chaos for so long, the people have withered severely, and the taxes have not been able to go up. It's not that those officials are useless, it's our Tang Dynasty, that's the foundation." Li Shimin looked at Li Lizhi and explained with a wry smile.

"Well, Royal Father, you can write an IOU to Wei Hao and ask Wei Hao to take out the money. If there is no money in the house, I will transfer some money from Wei Hao's side. Wei Hao's family still has a lot of money. , it is estimated that there are three or five thousand dollars. If the mother needs the money urgently, if the money can't keep up, I will transfer it from Wei Hao." Li Lizhi looked at Li Shimin and said, since she is short of money now, it is also Nothing can be done.

"Okay, tomorrow, the royal father will let the servant shoot over to talk to him." Li Shimin nodded and said, and that's all he can do now.

Early the next morning, Li Shimin summoned Fang Xuanling to enter the palace and explained those matters. At the same time, he specially explained that he wanted to see Wei Hao alone, and he wanted to talk about this matter alone, but it was not allowed to talk about this matter in the cell, Fang Xuanling said. One look at the loan, of course, you know how to do this.

Fang Xuanling opened the IOU, and was surprised when Li Shimin read that he would borrow Wei Hao [-] yuan.

This unremarkable Wei Hanzi actually has so much money. So, this pottery workshop is really making money. No wonder, Wei Hao got into a fight, and Li Shimin didn't deal with him, but was directly imprisoned in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment. , and, it is estimated that it will be released soon.

"You should have a good chat with him!" Fang Xuanling said with admiration in his heart.

Such talents are rare, especially those who are good at management. The Ministry of Civil Affairs of the Tang Dynasty has been in short supply all these years. If Wei Hao helped, maybe it would be better, and their officials would have a better life.

At this moment, on Wei Hao's side, after Wei Hao and the others got up, they continued to play cards.After fighting for a while, a jailer came in and shouted to Wei Hao, "Wei Hao, someone wants to see you!"

"See me? Who is it?" Wei Hao heard this, turned his head to look at the jailer and asked.

"You'll know when you go." The jailer said to Wei Hao with a smile.

"You come in, get a few hands first, and I'll come when I go!" Wei Hao called the jailer to come in to play cards, and went to meet the people outside by himself. Soon, Wei Hao arrived in a room. After entering, Wei Hao found that his face was familiar. !

"I've seen this uncle, who are you?" Wei Hao asked Fang Xuanling with his hands up.

"Come on, old man Fang Xuanling, this is the meal you bought from your Juxian Building. The old man said that he wanted to invite you to dinner, so they brought it out for me. There is wine here!" Fang Xuanling greeted with a smile. Wei Hao said.

"Oh, Fang Pushe, I've seen Fang Pushe!" Wei Hao immediately cupped his hands when he heard it was Fang Xuanling.

"Well, you can also call uncle, come and sit down!" Fang Xuanling said to Wei Hao very enthusiastically.

"Then I'm welcome." Wei Hao also sat down when he heard him greet him like this.

"This is something that Your Majesty has assigned to you. The IOU is [-] yuan in total!" Fang Xuanling took out the IOU with a smile and handed it to Wei Hao. Li Shimin said that this matter has been settled, so just give it to Wei Hao. to make.

"Oh, hey, Fang Pushe, you say, I can make money so much, why didn't your Majesty see me when I was short of money? I am such a talented person, and His Majesty doesn't even see me, hey, it's true!" Wei Hao took the IOU. , said to Fang Xuanling with a sigh.

"Haha!" Fang Xuanling smiled and stroked his beard. Li Shimin told him about meeting Wei Hao before, and he also explained to him that he could not reveal his identity.

"Hey, Fang Pushe, do you think His Majesty's head is that? What do you think, is it difficult to see me? Am I that scary?" Wei Hao still asked Fang Xuanling.

When Fang Xuanling heard it, she smiled and shook her head. Fortunately, Li Shimin explained that Wei Hao in front of him had a problem with his brain, and his mouth didn't close the door. Fang Xuanling heard it, don't be angry.
