Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 1618

The imperial study room is a bit cold.

After returning from the morning, Li Shimin ordered people to reduce the amount of coal used.

Today's Datang seems to be short of money again.

When Qin Tian came to the imperial study, Li Shimin was stretching out his hand to warm the stove. After seeing Qin Tian, ​​Li Shimin pointed to the chair opposite him and said, "Sit."

"Thank you, Lord."

After Qin Tian saluted, he sat down opposite Li Shimin, and asked, "I don't know why the Holy Majesty called the minister to come?"

Li Shimin looked at Qin Tian, ​​but didn't speak. Seeing this, Qin Tian's expression became a little unnatural.

"Holy?"

"Qin Aiqing, you are a smart person, I asked you to come, you should know why?"

"This, I don't dare to speculate on my own."

Li Shimin rolled his eyes and said: "My army is short of salary in the Tang Dynasty, if this hole is not filled, sooner or later something will happen to the barracks. You borrowed some money."

Who doesn't know that in the entire Tang Dynasty, Qin Tian has a lot of money. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is the richest man in the Tang Dynasty.

However, when Qin Tian heard that Li Shimin wanted to borrow money from him, he cursed inwardly. He thought he had a lot of money and wanted to borrow money from him, but his money was hard earned, so he just lent it out. How distressed.

"The Holy Majesty wants to borrow money from my minister, so naturally I don't dare to be puzzled. How about ten thousand yuan?"

Ten thousand taels of money is definitely not a small amount. Qin Tian expressed his willingness to lend 1 taels as soon as he opened his mouth.

It is true that [-] yuan is a lot of money, but it is like a drop in the bucket for military pay. Moreover, many soldiers have not received military pay for several months. If this is the case, the need for military pay will naturally be even more.

But Qin Tian is willing to pay [-] guan, if he is not satisfied, he is really embarrassed.

Li Shimin hesitated for a moment, then said: "Qin Aiqing, ten thousand yuan is not enough."

Although he felt embarrassed, for the sake of stability in the army, he had no choice but to speak again shamelessly.

But this time, Qin Tian smiled wryly, and said: "My lord, ten thousand coins is already the limit of the minister. Although there are many shops in the minister's house, the daily exchange of money and money is also very frequent. Many of them are It is impossible to move, every family has scriptures that are difficult to recite."

Speaking of this, Qin Tian suddenly turned around and said: "However, I have a way to completely solve the problem of military pay this time."

Li Shimin just wanted to borrow some money to ease the problem of military pay. He never thought that Qin Tian would have a way to solve it completely, which made Li Shimin feel a little bit excited, and quickly asked: "Oh, Qin Aiqing has a way, tell me, what way?" ?”

Qin Tiandao: "This method of my minister's is a little overreaching, but if the Holy Majesty is willing to use it, money and so on will naturally not be a problem."

"Tell me, what is the solution?"

Now Li Shimin, in order to get money to fill the gap in military pay, doesn't mind doing some inappropriate things.

Seeing this, Qin Tian didn't hide it, and said: "My minister's method is very simple. My Tang Dynasty has always enforced a curfew. If the curfew can be lifted, the money will naturally come."

Qin Tian said calmly, not as if he was joking, but after listening to Li Shimin, he felt that Qin Tian seemed to be joking, not to mention the fact that the curfew is very important, it is impossible to let it go casually, even if he let it go, then How does money come from?
Is it possible that money will fall from the sky?

He felt that Qin Tian was simply messing around.

Li Shimin snorted softly, and said, "Money comes naturally, where does this start?"

Li Shimin was quite patient. Seeing this, Qin Tian smiled slightly, and then explained: "Your Majesty, the curfew is said to be lifted, but it's not just relaxed. Who would want to be able to walk around Chang'an City at night? You must buy a famous brand issued by the imperial court. With a famous brand with your name written on it, you can walk in Chang’an City. This money starts from selling famous brands. Just imagine, a famous brand sells for ten guan. If someone buys it, they will have 1 guan, and [-] guan will solve the problem of military pay, right?"

"In addition to famous brands, there are also those shops. Some shops can also be open at night, such as brothels, such as gambling houses. If these people want to make money, they have to open at night. It is necessary to buy a license for nighttime business. Their license costs a hundred dollars, or even more. They can earn thousands of dollars in one night. Let them buy this, and they are definitely willing, so , isn’t this money coming again?”

Qin Tian muttered something, and after he finished speaking, Li Shimin understood what Qin Tian meant and how to make money through the curfew.

And Qin Tian's method is relatively safer.

The main purpose of the curfew is to prevent people from doing some shameful things in the dark, but with a name tag, all people who can walk at night have a record. If so, who dares to do bad things at night, do bad things , A check can send them out.

Therefore, even if they can walk at night, Chang'an City is absolutely safe.

There will be no problems with the stability of Chang'an City at night, so this matter can be done, and as long as this privilege is activated, the rich and powerful in Chang'an City will more or less buy some famous brands, right?
Even though many people have nothing to do at night, for some rich and powerful, buying one is not a bad thing after all, and they are not short of ten pennies or anything.

Moreover, shops such as brothels and gambling houses are open at night, and some men want to be gentle at night, and they must also need famous brands, so they will be even more likely to buy them.

In this way, attracting each other, more people will buy famous brands and license plates, and the money will naturally come.

Li Shimin glanced at Qin Tian, ​​a little shocked, he didn't expect that a method Qin Tian casually mentioned would be able to get so much money and completely solve the vacancy of military pay.

Li Shimin thought for a moment, then smiled: "Qin Aiqing's idea is very good, let's talk about it in the court tomorrow morning, what does Qin Aiqing think?"

Obviously, Li Shimin wanted Qin Tian to start. After all, if no one started many things, even he, Li Shimin, would not be able to say.

Qin Tian naturally understood Li Shimin's meaning, he smiled wryly in secret, but nodded his head hastily on the face, and said: "Since the Holy One thinks this method is feasible, then I will bring this matter to the court tomorrow morning."

With the beginning, the cancellation of the curfew, there will be hope slowly, and the nightlife of the Tang Dynasty will also begin.
