Tang Dynasty good brother-in-law

Chapter 632 The First Quasi-Cabinet Meeting
Datang Zhenguan Qianfang, Du, Xiao, Gao, Tang, etc...

That one is a powerful person who stands alone, and they come up with an implementable draft as soon as they communicate with each other.

then……

The Great Tang Emperor Li Yuan once again became Liu Mu's coolie. This time he went to Wa Island to appease the hearts of the people who recruited soldiers and miners, and made these people redouble their efforts to dig money for Datang.

"Father, you still need to go to Kagoshima first, confer the title of Hayato in person, bestow the surname, and confer the Duke of the county." Liu Mu reminded in a low voice.

Li Yuan didn't give Liu Mu any good looks, and Liu Mu began to coax again: "Father, you must have never seen a volcano erupt with your own eyes, never tried sand steaming, and never eaten a five-foot-long fish. Kagoshima has them all."

Li Yuan knew very well that Liu Mu was fooling him again, but as the Supreme Emperor of the Great Tang, the Great Tang was his own Great Tang.Although some things are troublesome, they can still be done.So Li Yuan asked rhetorically, "Is there really a big fish five feet long?"

"Absolutely!" Liu Mu nodded with certainty.

"Okay, I'll go and have a look." Li Yuan agreed with a reluctant expression.

All the courtiers also breathed a sigh of relief, because Wa Island is safer than Gaochang, so personal conquest is definitely not a good thing.

Fang Xuanling said at this time: "My minister proposes that Li Shenfu be the general manager of Yangzhou, and Li Xiaogong be the general manager of Hangzhou. Yangzhou is in charge of Jiangnan and the north of the Yangtze River, Hangzhou is in charge of Jiangnan and the south of the Yangtze River. Take the title of deputy envoy of the Shipping Department, and transfer Li Xiaocha as the governor of Shi Jianshan for a term of three years."

Tang Jian asked: "It's no problem to transfer Li Xiaocha to Kumamoto, what is Liu Rengui doing?"

"Safety at sea is still very important. I think the most important thing for the Donggang Marine Division is still on the warships. If the Donggang Marine Division does not have dozens or hundreds of warships, it may be fine now. What about the future?"

Fang Xuanling's words aroused everyone's approval.

It is absolutely necessary to have a long-term plan. Only with warships can we control the sea. The top military attache of Donggang Shipping Division naturally has to worry about armaments. Now that the basic strategy of doing business with swords has been made, warships are indispensable.

Li Shimin looked at Liu Mu, and Liu Mu nodded slightly. He also supported the formation of the fleet.

"Then, regarding Tsushima Island, it's best to let Concubine Liu go." Fang Xuanling pushed Liu Mu out again.

Liu Mu didn't object, and he could only do this by himself.

As for the matter of mining silver mines, after two days of discussion, a complete plan was still not come up with. As Changsun Wuji said, this matter is related to the fate of the Tang Dynasty and should not be taken lightly.

In the afternoon of the second day, Xiao Yu suggested to temporarily suspend the meeting: "There are several difficulties that need to be considered again. Suddenly so much money entered the Tang Dynasty, a good thing must be a good thing, if the silver becomes cheap and the money is expensive, this is trouble. Just For this matter, the Ministry of Household Affairs should select a few reliable people to come up with a plan first."

Cui Junsu got up and said very seriously: "Don't worry, Zuo Pushe, this matter should be the first priority. I thought that if there is a lot of money, it will be cheap, but if there is a place for spending, the country's rich people and rich silver may not necessarily be cheap. A small amount of money As far as silver coins are concerned, 22 silver coins can buy a bolt of high-quality silk, and if silk does not replace coins, then Datang will need one hundred million taels of silver within five years."

"The silver mine is far more than one hundred million taels of silver. But it is impossible to dig out one hundred million taels of silver in five years. Even if you lead troops to kill Wa Island at this time, it is impossible to dig out enough to reach one hundred million taels in five years if you dig all out. Two denarii."

One hundred million taels is not a small number. Calculated at 37 grams per tael in Datang, this is also [-] tons of silver.

With Datang's current mining and smelting capabilities, [-] tons of silver is an impossible task.

What's more, Shi Jian Yinshan can only dig secretly.

Cui Junsu didn't need to look through the records of the Ministry of Household Affairs, some data was kept in his mind: "The four major silver mines in the Tang Dynasty are Raozhou, Xuanzhou, Xinzhou, and Quzhou. The total output of the four major silver mines is 5 About 7 taels, the annual silver in the whole Tang Dynasty is [-] taels."

"Then you said it would take one hundred thousand taels." Changsun Wuji said heartily, the Tang Dynasty can save one hundred thousand taels of silver in 1 years, and you need to provide it in these five years.

Cui Junsu clasped his fist at Changsun Wuji: "What I mean is, if you replace the silver and copper coins with silk tokens, you don't have to worry about running out of money. The only thing that needs to be considered is that there must be a reasonable inflow of these silver coins." Otherwise, the business, city and people of Datang will be destroyed."

"This is an issue that the Ministry of Household Affairs needs to consider. My Donggang Shipping Division is only responsible for transporting the silver ore back."

Before Changsun Wuji could finish speaking, Gao Jian took the lead and said, "This silver mine cannot belong to the Donggang Shipping Department. The Shipping Department can only earn a share of the shipping fee."

"Boss is willing to pay heavy taxes, very heavy taxes. The silver mine alone pays a very heavy tax to the Ministry of Households." Liu Mu had to speak at this time. He may not care about his own interests, but he cannot ignore the interests of shareholders, otherwise the future will be huge. When Tang You needed huge foreign investment, no one in the world was willing to contribute.

"Extremely heavy?" Cui Junsu is the Minister of the Household Department, and he is also the son of the Cui family of Qinghe, who is one of the fourteen major shareholders of Donggang Shipbuilding Corporation except the royal family.

But at this time, Cui Junsu was completely in the position of Minister of the Household Department, and he did not give in at all because his Cui family was a shareholder of Donggang.This is the strength of character of a celebrity, who stands in his position and seeks his own government.

"This..." Liu Mu also only said that he was willing to pay heavy taxes, but he never thought about the amount.

Under Cui Junsu's questioning, Liu Mu hesitated.

"It's better to calculate the cost first, the cost of mining, the wages of the personnel, and the freight." Liu Ruyu is the general accountant of the general shipping department, and she is qualified to speak.

"There is no need to calculate, just say that a few percent of the net profit is handed over to the treasury. According to the laws of the Tang Dynasty, all mines in the world are state-owned..." After Cui Junsu finished speaking, he was stunned, and then laughed loudly: "Wrong, this mine is in the state. Wajima."

"Cui Gong is right, this mine is Datang's mine, and it should follow Tang's laws." Under Liu Ruyu's hint, Li Daozong hurriedly helped Cui Junsu round up what he just said.

This stone sees whether Yinzi should follow the laws of the Tang Dynasty. After a few quarrels in the court, Liu Mu suddenly said: "The king of the Japanese slaves and the nobles of the Japanese slaves are cruel. These guys don't understand etiquette, and they are no different from animals. The people are like cattle and sheep, slaughtered at will. Uncle Guo can testify to this."

Changsun Wuji didn't understand why Liu Mu said this, but he could indeed testify.

Changsun Wuji told the story of Suga Eizo's rebellion, including some details, especially the evil deeds of Suga Eizo and his son in the Wa Palace.

After listening to the details of Changsun Wuji, Xiao Yu jumped up angrily and scolded: "This kind of beast, why bother with it, you should kill it."
