Zhenguan Crown Prince Li Chengqian

Chapter 83 On Grain Road (3)

"Chengqian, as you saw just now, the court's current energy is mainly focused on the Northern Expedition to the Turks. It is inevitable that financial resources will be stretched, so let's wait until the Northern Expedition."

Of course Li Chengqian knew that the household department had no spare money, and he also knew that Li Shimin also used some money from his inner mansion to subsidize the household department, besides, he did not intend to ask the court to pay this money.

"Father, my son knows the current situation of the court even if he is ignorant.

Fortunately, there is still some money in the East Palace. Before Erchen came, Master Zhang and the others had checked it out, and there was still enough money to build a fleet that wasn't too big.How about letting the ministers pay the money to build this fleet for the court. "

"This is a huge sum. To be honest, how much money do you have now?" Li Shimin asked in surprise.

It is really thanks to Li Chengqian that Li Shimin's inner palace has so much wealth now, and a certain amount of money will be sent to the inner palace every month, so Li Chengqian's income will also be quite a lot.

But now Li Chengqian came to tell him that Qianbo from the East Palace could build a fleet, how could this not surprise Li Shimin.

Seeing his father's gaffe, not only made Li Chengqian burst into laughter, it was exactly the same as the common people in later generations asking their children how much lucky money they had.

"Uh, Master Zhang and Changsun Huan calculated that there are about 180 million active ones now."

"How much, more than 100 million yuan, you actually want to use so much money to build a ship, isn't this a prodigal? No, you will hand over all the money to the inner government when you go back, and I will use it to do some big things."

Hearing that Li Shimin wanted to confiscate the money, Li Chengqian became anxious. Isn't this worrying about wealth? Isn't this robbery? Is there any law?
Li Chengqian repeatedly waved his hands and said, "No way, Royal Father, the money in the East Palace is earmarked for its own use. You took all the money away, how to repair the Cuiwei Palace, how to build the Academy.

Besides, building such a fleet can not only solve the problem of food shortage for the court.It can also open up a new road to wealth for the court.You, you can't break it. "

"Well, according to what you said just now, you still have more than 100 million guan in your hand. I won't move some of the projects you have decided on. When you go back, you can take out the money you plan to build the ship from the head office."

This is Li Chengqian, if it were someone else, Li Shimin would be with him in this ink mark, just make an order and it's over.

"Father, the ministers also know that the court is in difficulty now, but building a powerful navy is a long-term plan, so we can't always hold on to it. Besides, don't we fight wars and disasters in the future?
With them, the court will have a steady stream of food and grass.My son is willing to donate 20 yuan to support the Ministry of War. How about you always hold your hands high? "

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Shimin immediately made a copy and said: "Okay, it's for the sake of the court that you have decided this way, and you will send the money to the inner government when you go back."

Uh, seeing his father so happy, Li Chengqian immediately realized that he had been cheated, but it was too late to regret it now.

"But the Jianshui Division also needs talents. See if you can transfer some people." Li Chengqian is not the master who only suffers but not takes advantage, so he immediately counterattacked Li Shimin and made some demands.

Li Shimin chuckled. He likes to fight with Li Chengqian like this. This is also an alternative way of communication between father and son. It can not only exercise Li Chengqian, but also increase the relationship between father and son. Why not do it.

"Okay, it's all up to you. I greet the Ministry of War, and anyone you want will be let go, okay."
After returning to the East Palace, Li Chengqian called Li Chongyi and the two of them to discuss matters concerning the navy.When he heard that Li Shimin had deducted 20 guan, Li Jinghuan jumped up and complained: "Our navy will not be able to catch up with such a situation in 100 years, and he will have to scrape it. Your majesty collected too much money for the road." .”

Li Chongyi, who was at the side, immediately scolded him: "Shut up, thunder, rain, and dew are all God's blessings. Can you talk about your Majesty's merits? Do you want to implicate Uncle Wang?"

Li Chengqian didn't know what Li Chongyi meant.Then he said: "Okay, brother, this is just a joke, even if His Majesty knows it, he won't take it seriously. Besides, what His Majesty did is just a joke between our father and son, and it won't have much impact on the cost of the Navy."

"What's more, didn't the old man give grace to him? Your Majesty said that I will be responsible for all affairs of the Navy, and he will also greet the Ministry of War. You can discuss it after you go down, and go to the Prime Minister to pick someone."

"The governor of the Hangzhou Navy is temporarily in charge of this palace. At the same time, you two are appointed as the commander of the Hangzhou Navy and join the army. You two are responsible for all matters concerning the military port and the navy."

After speaking, the two were overjoyed, and thanked Li Chengqian repeatedly. If it wasn't for Li Chengqian, the two of them wouldn't know when they would have serious errands, so they got up and left as promised.

Five days later, as soon as Li Chengqian got up, Fang Xuanling, the prime minister, knocked at the door.Looking at this panting old man, Li Chengqian couldn't figure it out for a moment.Fang Xuanling was famous for his good temper, who made him so angry.

Li Chengqian, who was in a daze, hurriedly invited him to take a seat, and at the same time asked Zhang Sizheng to serve him tea quickly to make him feel comfortable. "Fang Xiang, what happened to make you so old-fashioned? Could it be that one of my subordinates ran into you? Who is it? If you tell me, I will definitely punish him heavily."

Li Chengqian hurriedly bought a good one. If he got angry, it would be a loss to the country.But he is still very curious, who is it? He is quite courageous, can Fang Xuanling provoke anyone?Besides, Fang Xuanling is kind and kind, the problem will definitely not be on him, it must be the fault of his subordinates.

"It's not the two bastards Li Jinghuan and Li Chongyi, you said that the Jianshui division has a manpower, and they never want to recruit people from all over the country.

Now that he has reached out to the Sixteenth Guards, several generals have come to make trouble with the veteran.The old minister originally wanted to reprimand them and it would be over, but these two bastards took out your crown prince's handwritten letter, and said in a sticky tone that the crown prince is following the emperor's orders, and anyone who refuses to give them is disobeying the order.

Your Highness, we can't let them do whatever they want. Now that the Northern Expedition is imminent, it will be no small matter if those generals make a fuss. "

Hearing Fang Xuanling's words, Li Chengqian couldn't help scolding these two dudes in his heart, you can pick sailors to go to the army, can those Qiu Ba go into the water?Called Heng Lian to tell him to tell these two bastards to come quickly and make amends to Fang Xiang.

"Fang Xiang, although the two elder brothers of this palace are good at water warfare, they are still young after all, so they don't know the depth of this. Suddenly they are given an important position, and they will inevitably be domineering. I also hope that they will not be offended by the students. When they come, the students must ask them to kowtow to the teacher to make amends."
