Tang Dynasty good brother-in-law

Chapter 533 A Double Reed Without Rehearsal

When Liu Mu heard that someone supported him, he immediately took another step forward: "Xiangcheng believes that since a married person is a daughter-in-law, he should treat his parents-in-law as he treats his parents. The province should be higher than the rules of the Tian family, and this rule is not established by me in the Tang Dynasty, I in the Tang Dynasty should improve the rules of the previous dynasty."

Li Shimin was not in a good mood, and the first daughter he married had trouble.

Immediately asked with a sullen face: "Liu Mu, don't you want to pay for the princess mansion built in Xiangcheng?"

"Ah!" Liu Mu didn't realize at all that he still said such a thing.Thinking about it again, I am right, why do I get the income of the four counties, and the benefits of receiving the royal naming, among which is the expenditure of the Royal Palace in my own hands.

"The sage speaks nonsense!" Pei Ju, who was in his 80s, immediately became angry, pointing at Li Shimin and yelling: "The old minister is willing to pay double for the coin for the construction of the princess mansion. The sage can't misinterpret Liu's son-in-law's virtue of loyalty and filial piety. The old minister seconded the proposal again. "

Courtiers dare to scold the emperor.

Liu Muxin said that he had not lived in vain in his life, and seeing this scene was really exciting.

After Pei Ju finished scolding, not only one or two dared to scold the emperor, several of them rushed to Li Shimin to argue.

Liu Mu hid behind the crowd, at this time Liu Mu was thinking about what to do if Li Shimin turned his face and knocked over the table in a rage.

But soon, something happened that stunned Liu Mu.

Li Shimin came out from behind the case, and then said very sincerely: "I was wrong. I think I made two mistakes. The first mistake is that I didn't distinguish between the primary and the secondary when dealing with Liu's son-in-law. The second mistake is that there are some things. If you don't understand it, you can define it randomly. But don't you give me a chance to speak?"

All the old courtiers said one after another, saint, if you have something to say, just say it simply and directly, and let's listen here.

"I am very relieved to know that Xiangcheng is a bookmaker. But whether this rule is changed or not is the first thing. If we don't mention the construction cost of the Princess Mansion, then this matter will be discussed separately."

"Let's vote!" Liu Mu said weakly from behind.

"Okay, good idea." Someone heard Liu Mu's words and immediately agreed.

But before the vote, there was still a small debate, but the majority supported the princess to marry and live in her husband's house. A few people only made one request, then modify the gatehouse to show that the princess is in the mansion, and then some royal dignity and etiquette Make some adjustments and suggestions for conflicts.

Soon, the matter was settled.

The princess does not need to have a separate mansion, but she must have a separate small courtyard in her husband's mansion, and then the Ministry of Rites will list a series of rules in detail about etiquette.

After this matter was over, Li Shimin relied on the case: "Then another matter, dear friends, come and give a fair comment. Come here, and get the list of palace offerings for the third quarter."

After Li Shimin finished speaking, almost all the courtiers in the entire Tai Chi Hall became excited.

This reaction made Li Shimin startled.

But Liu Mu heard something, and didn't know that the official said to the other person: "Since there are no household expenses for the worship in the palace, I finally saw Liu's son-in-law Mark deducting the palace expenses. This matter needs to be discussed carefully."

Another person asked, "Help there?"

"Help!"

What a assistant, what he said was right, but Liu Mu could tell that these guys were suspected of watching the excitement.

The list is on the table for everyone to see.

How many people there are in the palace, how much expenses and how much supplies are needed, etc. In fact, most of the courtiers can't figure it out.

Li Shimin waited for everyone to look at it and said: "There are only a thousand cans of fruit from Lingnan in the palace in autumn, which means that there are only eleven cans a day on average, and there are four cans that are marked as second-class cans for the palace people." Rewards are for early adopters, so I only have seven tubes together with the harem."

"Also, the spices in the palace. The edible spices are only one thousand catties, is one thousand catties more? The spices used are four thousand catties, is four thousand catties more?" Li Shimin began to express his dissatisfaction one by one.

Letting Li Shimin say this, all the courtiers looked at Liu Mu, and said in their hearts that you are really ruthless, Concubine Liu, and you have embezzled to such an extent.

Pei Ju went back to the cushion in his hall and sat down. He thought that the Emperor Tang had reason to suspect that the watch on Liu Mu was actually to embezzle the offerings in the palace. At this time, Pei Ju also had some doubts about Liu Mu's motives.

Those who were about to watch the excitement also flashed away, and each went back to the cushions.

This is no ordinary deduction, but too much deduction.

Even though Cui Junsu from the household department is the son of the wealthy Qinghe Cui family, he looks down on Li Tang's royal family in his heart, and at this moment thinks that Liu Mu is a bit too much.

Cui Junsu stood up: "Prince Liu, don't you have anything to say at this time? You should give an explanation to the court, not just to the saint."

"This..." Liu Mu hesitated a little.

"Sophistry is not good. Although we have never been to Lingnan, we can be regarded as having a good eye." Cui Junsu was telling Liu Mu, don't talk nonsense, don't think us are fools.

Liu Mu took a few steps forward: "First, the prices in Chang'an City must be stable, and the common people must not find out that the price of spices has increased for any reason. This must be done."

"It's reasonable, this statement is indeed public." After Cui Junsu answered Liu Mu, he turned to other important ministers, and after questioning them one by one, the others also said that Liu Mu's words were not wrong.

"Secondly, according to the officials in Chang'an, each honorary rank is different. The various spices, fruits, meat, canned food, etc. supplied at a low price according to Datang Welfare, the quantity is not small, and the price has not increased. Of course, Mr. Cui, you don't care, but The officials of the seventh, eighth, and ninth ranks care about it, even if they can only buy one cheap canned fruit every two months, they also care."

Liu Mu's words were recognized by all the officials, and none of them found that the supply of cheap materials to the officials was not enough, or the price was increased.

"It's reasonable, I'll be on behalf of the officials below the fifth rank in Chang'an, and wait for the foreign officials to thank Concubine Liu." Cui Junsu cupped his fists and saluted Xiang Xiang.

After Liu Mu returned the gift: "The third one is the battle to conquer the north. The grassland is [-] miles wide and [-] miles north. I wonder if Mr. Cui can calculate how many troops, how much food and grass, and how much military expenses will be cleared if we send troops from the Tang Dynasty to the expedition. Such a large area is completely flattened, and then Xieli is driven a thousand miles north."

This is an astronomical figure, Cui Junsu calculated silently in his heart, throwing 500 million guan into it will not make a big splash.

The range is large and the distance is long. It is only a logistical supply. One hundred shi of grain transportation is probably less than five shi at the farthest distance.Moreover, at least tens of thousands of civilian husbands were called.

"Only the Uyghur clan, the military expenses start at 100 million guan. This is not counting the military expenses of other ethnic groups. Adding up to more than 300 million guan will disappear in the blink of an eye. I have no money, and it is impossible for me to give them money. So I use spices , canned food, weapons, ordnance, and armor to pay the bill.”
