People are in the Tang Dynasty, creating a mythical dynasty

Chapter 42
Shaofu is busy.

With the size of the Shaofu, the efficiency of donating chickens and ducks is naturally much higher than that of Li Ming. Thousands of chickens and ducks are thrown out every day, and the people in Guanzhong undoubtedly fall into the carnival.

It's just compared to the ecstasy of the common people.

At this time, Li Er was not so happy.

Along with the new year, the arrival of Zhenguan is announced.

He is ready to flex his muscles and shape his own country.

But soon, a very fatal problem appeared on him.

"No money!"

That's right, "no money".

At the end of the Sui Dynasty, there was great chaos, and people's livelihood was in decline.

Although his cheap father forced the monks to return to secular life to participate in labor, and even distributed the fields of the temple to the farmers, and melted the Buddha statues to make coins. It was so chaotic, even after all these years of development, it still hadn't been able to fully recover.

Today, Datang's annual treasury revenue is less than 1000 million yuan.

Such a small amount of money is not only needed to support the army, but also to restore people's livelihood and pay officials salaries.

It's simply not enough.

It is basically impossible to get some money out of it.

"Money!"

"Guanyin servant girl, I didn't expect that, as the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, I would still be short of money one day."

In the bedroom, Li Shimin rubbed his forehead and spoke with a wry smile.

When he was the king of Qin, he was never short of money because of the constant rewards from Li Yuan.

Now that he has become an emperor and is short of money, Li Shimin just finds it funny.

And behind him.

Empress Changsun gently rubbed his forehead.

Words are spoken softly.

"Second brother, the Shaofu should still have some surplus today. If the royal family's expenses can be reduced in the future, it should be able to save tens of thousands of crowns every year."

"Although there are not many, it can also solve some urgent needs."

The figure of Empress Changsun is soft and has the power to comfort people's hearts.

Li Shimin gently held Empress Changsun's hand.

Hearing the other party's soft words, he was taken aback for a moment, then shook his head involuntarily.

With a wry smile out loud.

"Young mansion?"

"I'm afraid I don't have much money now."

He didn't even need to guess what was going on in Shaofu.

"The Shaofu has no money?"

Empress Changsun was a little puzzled.

"Yes, the Shaofu should have no money now. In order to deal with the locust plague that may break out this year, I asked Shisiqian to take charge of the Shaofu to raise chickens and ducks. Now the money of the Shaofu, let alone saved. A quarter of expenses have to be saved."

"Fourteen is really willing to spend money. Some time ago, the Shaofu supervisor asked me to complain!"

Seeing Empress Changsun's doubts, Li Shimin explained aloud.

"oh, I see!"

Empress Changsun nodded and frowned involuntarily.

Shaofu is the place where she can think about the balance for the time being.

It is also where she can take charge.

After all, as the master of the harem, it is not a big problem to curb the expenses in the palace.

Unexpectedly, the expenses of the Shaofu had already been used.

In this case, the previous words are naturally useless.

But it was in the thinking of Empress Changsun.

Li Shimin stood up now.

Under the eyes of Empress Changsun, Li Shimin spoke.

"Let's go, go to Shaofu to see how the chickens and ducks that boy raised for me are doing!"

The voice came out, Li Shimin said, and he wanted to go and have a look.

Every time he has a problem, that kid can help him solve it.

Turks for the first time, locusts for the second time.

This time, it obviously felt impossible, but Li Shimin still wanted to see his son.

And as soon as this kind of thought appeared, I couldn't help it.

"Second brother, let's take a break and go tomorrow!"

Empress Changsun spoke with concern.

"It's okay, Guanyin servant girl, you can also come with me, just go out to relax."

Li Shimin shook his head and smiled.

Under Li Shimin's determination, although Empress Changsun was a little worried about Li Shimin's body, she still nodded in agreement.

Dressed lightly, the two left the palace quickly and headed for the Shaofu.

The afterglow of the evening falls.

Shaofu Supervisor is dealing with the purchased Imperata. Today, the amount of Imperata has reached tens of thousands of catties, which can be said to be the most in the past few days. He needs to have the Imperata cleaned, and then send someone to that yard.

When Li Shimin brought the eldest grandson empress over, everyone was busy.

There are even voices of conversation from time to time.

"You said, why does Your Highness collect this white grass?"

"You ask me who to ask!"

"Hey, you said His Highness has so much money, why don't you give it to us? Why do you give those mud legs? One catty is one penny. One hundred catties is one hundred pennies. I can earn it for a few months!"

"If you want it, you dig it yourself!"

"Forget it, these days, the coriander grass near Chang'an has been dug up, and you have no share."

"I know this, but you said where they dug these. The daily quantity seems to be still not small. Today there should be more than 1000 catties."

"Yes, to be precise, it is 230 five catties!"

"Hiss, this is not more than eleven pennies!"

A person named Shaofu was talking.

Since Li Shimin didn't let anyone report, naturally no one noticed.

Even if they noticed it, they just thought that the master of the family took his wife for an outing, and they didn't pay much attention to it.

But Li Shimin's face turned dark when he heard their words.

money.

That's all money.

Especially when I saw the bundles of white grasses, some blue veins could not help but pop out.

And while he was worrying about money, his own son was spending too much in Shaofu.

He used money to buy a pile of white grass that no one wanted, and it was on such a large scale.

A penny a catty is not much.

But according to what these people said, today is eleven thousand catties, and one catty is one penny, which is also eleven.

Eleven times a day.

Ten days, that is Baiguan.

I don't know how many days the acquisition has been going on. At this moment, Li Shimin not only has a bruise, but also feels his heart is bleeding.

At this moment, he regretted letting his son come here.

Take a deep breath.

After a while, I let my heart calm down a little.

But although he barely recovered, the money really made his heart ache.

Especially in this situation where he was short of money, he was even more annoyed.

"Second brother, there may be some misunderstanding here, Fourteen may be a need, need it!"

Empress Changsun spoke to persuade, but at this moment, she didn't know how to explain what she said.

"Need, I want to see how he needs it!"

"Call Wei Wang, the Shaofu supervisor is here!"

Li Shimin couldn't help but snorted coldly.

"Yes!"

A guard behind him quickly left in response.
