People are in the Tang Dynasty, creating a mythical dynasty

Chapter 48 Li Er: My son robbed a country?
in the library.

Li Shimin is dealing with government affairs. Although the three provinces and six ministries are much more convenient, after becoming emperor, his government affairs have increased by more than ten times. Fortunately, he has adapted a lot when he was in the Qin Palace, and now there is nothing wrong with it. Too big a question.

"Second brother, I heard that Fourteen's business is very prosperous. Many people have come to Chang'an in the past few days."

"It's a lot of fun these days."

Empress Changsun came over with a plate of roast duck and a small bowl of silver soup, and spoke with a chuckle.

"The battle is going to be huge. I just hope that kid can really get some money out. It doesn't have to be 100 million guan, 50 guan, or even [-] guan."

"Guanyin maidservant, you see that the third section of the Grand Canal is blocked again, and the cost of unblocking it may cost upwards of [-] yuan."

"Also here, there is a severe drought in Hebei, so we have to open warehouses for relief."

"There is also here, here!"

"It's all asking for money. Now the national treasury is only 20 yuan, how can we support it!"

Li Shimin spoke with a sigh, his expression full of worry.

It seemed as if God was deliberately against him.

The locust plague has not yet been resolved, and there is a severe drought in Hebei.

Then the Grand Canal was blocked.

Although the cheating Grand Canal built by Yang Guang has been blocked since the end of the Sui Dynasty, it was dredged again in the second year of Wude, and now the heavy rain overnight made the third section blocked again, and even collapsed A lot, and this time the cost is even greater.

And the treasury really has no money.

So much so that he had to rely on his fourteenth son.

"Second brother, don't worry too much, Fourteen may really have a solution!"

Empress Changsun gently rubbed Li Shimin's head, and spoke with comfort.

But in the conversation between the two.

Wang De's voice sounded outside the door.

"Come in!"

Li Shimin spoke.

Wang De then pushed the door open and walked in.

The figure walked in, Wang De lowered his head.

Instead of going to see Li Shimin and Empress Changsun, he suppressed the previous shock and opened his mouth to report.

"Your Majesty, the Household Department has come to report that His Royal Highness King Wei has sent more than 40 yuan to the Household Department in the past half month. How should we decide?"

At this moment, Wang De's voice trembled a little.

When he heard the words of the officials of the household department just now, he was in a daze. Even now, Wang De still hadn't reacted.

40 guan.

That's 40 guan.

That His Royal Highness King Wei has only been around for a while, less than a month.

"puff!"

"what?"

Li Shimin was drinking soup, but now he couldn't help but spit it out, speaking with a confused expression.

"Your Majesty, the Ministry of Accounting has come to report that His Royal Highness King Wei has sent more than 40 guan to the Ministry of Accounting in the past half month!"

Wang De had expected Li Shimin's reaction, so he hurriedly repeated it at this moment.

And when this side spoke again, Li Shimin reacted.

But at this moment, his eyes still couldn't help but widen with disbelief.

"This this!"

When he spoke, Li Shimin couldn't help but stuttered at this moment.

He thought he was calm enough.

But just now we were discussing whether Li Ming can get him 50 guan this time, but it really won't work, 30 to 10,000 guan, or even [-]+ guan.

He doesn't want 100 million coins.

Unexpectedly, in less than a month.

Li Ming directly gave him a huge surprise.

40 guan.

Although it is only 40 guan, not the target 100 million guan, it has not started yet.

"Your Majesty's matter should be true. This is the Minister of the Household Department sending someone to report."

Wang De spoke again.

And to this moment.

Li Shimin woke up instantly with a jerk.

The figure took a step and walked directly outside the bedroom.

Words sounded immediately.

"go!"

"Go to the household department!"

The figure of Li Shimin hurried to the household department.

Soon, his figure came to the household department.

But when he came to the household department and saw the boxes of copper coins, as well as boxes of jewelry, gold and silver, and cloth, his breathing couldn't help but become stagnant again.

40 guan.

Naturally, it cannot be all copper coins, but they are also of equal value.

Now that it is directly placed in front of Li Shimin like this, the impact on him can be imagined.

"Gudong!"

Wang De beside him couldn't help swallowing at this moment.

No way, there are too many in front of me.

"Haven't it started yet? How come there are so many?"

Mumbling to himself, Li Shimin looked a little dazed.

Although he didn't pay much attention to it, he still knew about the progress of the auction, and he was very clear that the auction hadn't started yet.

But now it has reached 40 directly.

This is simply unimaginable.

"His Royal Highness King Wei said that this is the sponsorship fee for the auction. The total amount is 41 guan. Your Majesty, how should we arrange it?"

At this moment, Pei Juzu also felt that he could not calm down.

As the grandson of Pei Tuo, governor of Jingzhou in the Northern Wei Dynasty, and the son of Pei Ne, the crown prince of the Northern Qi Dynasty, he has gone through the Northern Zhou Dynasty, the Sui Dynasty, and Wude until now.

But at this moment, he was overwhelmed by Wei Wang's big hand.

40 strings is really not much for the national treasury.

Now, as the Minister of the Household Department, he handles millions of money and food every year, but that is the income of the entire Datang treasury, but now it is only the result of one month of Wei Wang alone.

And it's just a so-called sponsorship fee.

He knows what a sponsorship fee is.

Just hang up a few signs at the place where the auction is located, and in the end they dare to sell tens of thousands of sticks.

The cheapest one costs several thousand guan. If it wasn't for making sure that Li Ming didn't threaten these businessmen, Pei Juzu would feel that he was robbed by Ming.

No, even if you rob it outright, I'm afraid you won't be able to rob so much money.

These wealthy merchants obviously took out the bottoms of their trousers.

Even if you go to grab it, it's impossible to get it so clean.

After listening to Pei Juzu's words, Li Shimin's shocked expression came back to his senses a little bit.

"Fourteen, he!"

He opened his mouth, but Li Shimin didn't know what to say at this moment.

but obviously
But Pei Juzu understood.

His words came out quickly.

"Your Majesty, I have investigated, and His Royal Highness King Wei did not do anything. The money was "donated" by these rich merchants on their own initiative."

Pei Juzu opened his mouth, but he pronounced the word "donate" more emphatically.

No way, he really couldn't call these things "donations".

And listening to Pei Juzu's explanation, Li Shimin's original concentration suddenly disappeared at this moment, and a smile also appeared on his face at this moment.

"Hahaha!"

"Yes, you are worthy of being my emperor's son!"

"Hongda, the money will be charged to the household department. This year, you, the secretary of the household department, seem to be much more relaxed!"

A smile appeared, and then turned into a loud laugh. Li Shimin looked very proud at this moment, as if he was showing off his outstanding son to everyone.
