Prince of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 605 Treasury Bills
Seeing Gao Ming's unfriendly expression, Changsun Wuji and Fang Xuanling looked at each other in dismay, but they also knew Gao Ming's temper, so they could only quickly deny it.

"His Royal Highness misunderstood, how could we have such an idea?"

"Yes, yes, we also hope to avenge His Majesty. Your Highness goes to war, and we are willing to go out with the army as a pioneer!"

Seeing the earnestness of the two people's words, Gao Ming's complexion improved, and he nodded.

"Well, I understand what the two dukes mean, but Datang still needs your support, so let's forget about going out with the army. As for the military pay and food, I will find a way!"

Hearing Gao Ming's words, Changsun Wuji and Fang Xuanling looked at each other again, and then Changsun Wuji cupped his hands towards Gao Ming again.

"Then, His Royal Highness, what are you going to do? I'm afraid it's impossible to add a gift!"

"Add Fu? Hahahaha!"

As soon as Changsun Wuji finished speaking, Gao Ming couldn't help laughing out loud, and waved his hand at Changsun Wuji while laughing.

"Where did uncle say this? How could I do such a stupid thing as adding a gift? My idea is to borrow money!"

"Borrow money?" Hearing Gao Ming's words, Changsun Wuji and Fang Xuanling showed surprise expressions at the same time, and then asked in unison: "Who do you want to borrow money from?"

Seeing the surprised looks of the two, Gao Ming grinned again.

"Look for anyone who is willing to borrow money!"

Anyone willing to borrow money?

Hearing Gao Ming's answer, Changsun Wuji and Fang Xuanling became even more puzzled, they really didn't understand what Gao Ming meant.

So after the two glanced at each other, they bowed to Gao Ming together.

"I would like to hear His Highness the Crown Prince's advice!"

"Hahahaha, I dare not take advice!"

While smiling, Gao Ming stretched out his hand to help the two of them up, and then nodded towards them.

"I decided to issue treasury bills!"

"Treasury bills?"

Hearing this new term, Changsun Wuji and Fang Xuanling were immediately at a loss.

The national treasury is the country's property storage institution, bonds, sales or debt deeds. Both Changsun Wuji and Fang Xuanling understand the meaning of the two, but they don't understand them together.

Seeing the puzzled look of the two, Gao Ming gave them the answer without any further tricks.

"Treasury bills are the IOUs issued to borrow money from people all over the world in the name of the country!"

Hearing Gao Ming's explanation, Changsun Wuji and Fang Xuanling immediately understood, but at the same time they had a new doubt.

Is this approach reliable?

Gao Ming probably guessed what the two of them were thinking, and immediately laughed again.

"Of course this money is not borrowed for nothing. I will recycle the issued treasury bills after one year, and I will give [-]% interest. That is to say, as long as anyone lends me the same money, I will repay it after one year." He always has zero and thirty pennies!"

"Uh...this..."

Now the eldest grandson Wuji and Fang Xuanling finally understood everything, but they were not optimistic about Gao Ming's plan to borrow money, because they felt that no one would buy it.

As the saying goes, "Is it the king's land in the whole world, and the king's subject on the coast of the land", the monarch and the minister are like father and son. If the father borrows money from the son, if the father can't pay, can the son force the father to exchange the money?

In Datang, this is treason, it is a crime!

It was precisely for these reasons that Changsun Wuji and Fang Xuanling felt that Gao Ming's "treasury bill" would definitely fail, and that they would not be able to get money by then, and the plan for the expedition would have to be shelved!
Thinking of this, the two immediately glanced at each other. At this moment, they both saw ease in each other's eyes.

Now that the goal has been achieved, the two of them will naturally not continue to linger in the East Palace, and directly bid farewell to Gao Ming.

"Since His Royal Highness has already made up his mind, the old minister will stop talking!"

"Your Highness, please allow the two of us to leave!"

Seeing that the two were about to leave, Gao Ming also nodded with a smile.

"Okay, then I won't keep two, please!"

"His Royal Highness please!"

The three of them left the study room together while they were talking, Gao Ming sent them all the way to the gate of the East Palace before turning back.

After returning, Gao Ming came to Su Wan'er's room again. Seeing him coming in, Su Wan'er smiled and asked, "What are uncle and Liang Guogong here for?"

"What else can it be for? Of course it's my plan to go to war!" Hearing Su Wan'er's question, Gao Ming smiled wryly and shook his head.

"What?" Seeing Gao Ming's expression, Su Wan'er was shocked, "Could it be that uncle and Liang Guogong are here to persuade Lang Jun to take back his life?"

"Oh, almost!" Gao Ming sighed, and then shook his head again, "But they didn't say it directly, but told my country's treasury that it was empty, and wanted me to retreat!"

Hearing Gao Ming's words, Su Wan'er frowned immediately, and a smile appeared on her face.

"Then uncle and the others are going to be disappointed, this kind of thing can't trouble Mr. Lang!"

"Hahahaha!"

As soon as Su Wan'er finished speaking, Gao Ming couldn't help laughing out loud. While laughing, he stretched out his finger and scratched Su Wan'er's beautiful nose lightly.

"Only you are clever!"

"Lang Jun hates it!"

"Hey Hey……"

Amid Su Wan'er's coquettish anger, Gao Ming also slowly stopped laughing, and then nodded with emotion.

"You're right. This kind of thing really doesn't bother me. I, the Great Tang, store wealth in the people. As long as I am willing, the money can be used by me immediately!"

Speaking of this, Gao Ming immediately patted Su Wan'er's little hand with a smile, and then smiled at her.

"Okay, let's not talk about state affairs, I'm hungry too, let's eat!"

"Ok!"

Although he pretended to be troubled, in order not to worry Su Wan'er, Gao Ming tried his best to appear indifferent.

After eating, Gao Ming hugged his daughter and talked with Su Wan'er for a while, then left the East Palace.

After leaving the East Palace, Gao Ming immediately went to the Datang Military Industry Department, which had been moved outside Chang'an City, and then went straight to the inner courtyard.

Gao Ming's sudden arrival surprised Liu Tao, the person in charge of the Military Industry Department, especially when he knew that Gao Ming had stayed in the room in the inner courtyard all afternoon, he couldn't sit still.

But without Gao Ming's order, he didn't dare to go in and disturb him, so he could only guard at the door nervously.

When it was getting dark, Gao Ming finally came out with a piece of rice paper in his hand. Seeing this scene, Liu Tao hurried up to salute.

"My minister sees..."

"Okay, stop giving me these useless things, I have something for you to do!"

Before Liu Tao finished speaking, Gao Ming picked him up impatiently, and then directly handed the crumpled rice paper to his hand.

"This is what I need, probably the deconstruction has already been drawn, you ask the craftsman to hurry up and get the mold out for me, and I will see the finished product within ten days, do you understand?"

Seeing Gao Ming being so serious, Liu Tao nodded quickly, so he dared not say anything.

"Yes, I understand. Please rest assured, His Royal Highness, within ten days, I will definitely finish the matter!"

In a word, say it firmly.

Hearing Liu Tao's words, Gao Ming also had a smile on his face, and patted him on the shoulder casually.

"Well, do it well, I trust you!"

After finishing speaking, Gao Ming left directly, leaving behind an excited Liu Tao standing there muttering to himself.

"His Royal Highness, I will definitely not let you down!"
