I directed the Xuanwumen Incident

Chapter 562 Xu Gong is very beautiful, His Majesty Tian Khan is very majestic!
Huhu.

The north wind howled and the temperature plummeted.

Several servants put the charcoal fire in the upper study room, raising the temperature in the room.

"call--"

Li Shimin shook off the soot and said displeasedly,
"This requires money, and that also requires money. No matter how rich the country is, it can't spend so much money to feed so many people!"

"Listen, your academy and the Ministry of Industry are the most outrageous!"

"The money asked for is comparable to the sum of the six movies!"

In the study, Xu Fenglei got up and opened the window.

Whoosh!

A gust of cold wind blew in, making Li Er tighten his clothes.

"cold!"

He frowned,

"Shut it off!"

Xu Fenglei rolled his eyes.

"Have you ever heard of a word called suicide by burning charcoal?"

He said angrily,

"Put a fire of charcoal in the house, and close all the doors and windows."

"And then wait to die."

"You are closing the door and windows now, do you want to die? So many people die every year due to charcoal burning, don't you have any idea?"

Li Shimin was startled.

"so serious?"

Xu Fenglei closed the window slightly back, and said in response:
"That's right, because during the burning process of charcoal, a kind of gas will be produced. You can understand it as poisonous gas."

"This poisonous gas is so strong that if people inhale it too much, they will become dizzy and eventually be poisoned to death."

When Li Shimin heard this, he suddenly realized.

"So this is ah……"

he said,

"If you don't tell me, I really don't understand."

Xu Fenglei shrugged.

"That's why I need so much money."

He said seriously,

"To put it simply, the establishment of the various colleges in the academy is to make things in the world more understandable, and through these 'understandings', to benefit the people of the world."

"It's like medical school. Sun Zhenzhen wrote a medical textbook with painstaking efforts. I went to his house to see that it was half as tall as a human! These years, he has been writing it whenever he is free!"

"With this book, I have the confidence to say that in the future, the number of medical talents who can save lives and heal the wounded in Datang will surely double!"

"You said, can I print this book without applying for funding?"

Li Shimin's expression turned serious.

"As tall as half a man? Obediently... that's incredible!"

He was surprised,

"That needs strong support! This is a medical masterpiece!"

Xu Fenglei nodded.

"That's right, and Lizhi wants to open a clinic, so I can't support it?"

he laughed,
"I, the master, supported it, so you, the emperor, must also support it, right?"

"I have already ordered the storefront she chose. The golden zone in Dongshi cost me a lot of money!"

"I paid the money for the store. Are you embarrassed about the subsequent decoration?"

Li Shimin pouted.

"A princess going to open a medical clinic, to be honest, it's a bit like nonsense."

he said,

"However, after what happened to Wang Zhaoyi, I also feel that it is right for her to study medicine. At least in an emergency, I can rely on her and my own people!"

"Those imperial doctors are useless!"

Xu Fenglei laughed.

"Your Majesty, don't be angry, I have already arranged for those imperial physicians to go to medical school for advanced studies. They are the first batch of advanced studies!"

he said,

"If you can't pass the final exam in the end, then expel them from the ranks of imperial physicians!"

"Only those who pass the exam are eligible to stay and continue to be imperial physicians. What do you think?"

These imperial physicians had a very comfortable life.

Let's torture them first!
"Okay, very good, let's do it."

Li Shimin laughed,
"Be strict! Too many hospitals don't support idlers!"

"The budget you want here, including the Academy and the Ministry of Industry, I will approve [-]% for you! The remaining [-]% you can find a way to solve... Don't worry, [-]% is already very high! I have a lot of budgets. No approval!"

"There's only so much money in the treasury, please be considerate."

Xu Fenglei stared.

"Only [-]%? That can't be done! I can't subsidize the country with my own pocket, right? I'm not that great."

He was dissatisfied,

"At least [-]%! Then I will post a little bit myself!"

"If it's [-]%, then I have to downsize, and I won't be able to do so many things."

Li Shimin was a little confused when he heard this.

"Your boy... well, well, [-]%."

He bargained,

"Three provinces and six ministries report budgets, and they always overreport. Of course I have to cut it."

"But I trust you, so I shouldn't make a false report... Eighty percent, eighty percent is okay, right? That's not a lot!"

"You have to do everything well, and you are not allowed to cut corners."

Xu Fenglei snorted coldly.

"Eighty percent... That's tens of thousands of taels short, and I have to pay for the vain money myself."

He reluctantly said,
"Well, I'll suffer a little this year, but next year you'll get the full amount! You can't cut it any more!"

"Otherwise, it would not be enough to post all the little money I earn a year!"

Li Shimin nodded again and again.

"Okay, okay, next time, next year..."

"Come, come, have some tea."

"I smoke too much, and I always have a mouthful of phlegm in my throat. I don't feel comfortable if I don't drink tea."

He personally poured a cup of tea for Xu Fenglei.

Xu Fenglei still looked reluctant on the surface, but secretly smiled in his heart.

Fortunately, he also lied a little.

Li Er cut [-]% of the budget, which was just enough.The so-called loss of money out of one's own pocket is all said to Li Er, to increase the confidence to ask for money in the coming year.

Asking for money...is an art!

"You, you really have to quit smoking."

Xu Fenglei snatched the cigarette case on the table, sighed softly,

"This stuff really hurts."

"Oh, I really regret that I brought it to you... With your drawing method, the life span will be shortened by several pieces!"

Li Shimin heard the words, but he didn't care.

"Life is alive, to be happy is to live, to be depressed is to be tortured."

He waved his hand,

"This thing can make me less depressed and help me do good things! Even if I live a few days less, it doesn't matter!"

Hearing this, Xu Fenglei looked a little helpless.

This Li Er is only in his 30s now, so he naturally thinks it doesn't matter, because he is still strong and strong.

When his body fails, all kinds of problems will come, and he will definitely complain!
However, I can't persuade you now...it's really hopeless.

"Speaking of which, the cigarette tax is really powerful! It's been less than a year since it was collected, my good guy, the tax is more than the combined taxes of several state capitals, I'm really shocked!"

Li Shimin said enthusiastically,
"If it takes a few more years, it must not exceed the annual agricultural tax?"

"You know, these cigarettes are also sold in Chang'an now, and they haven't been sold all over the Tang Dynasty! If they are rolled out... Tsk tsk!"

Xu Fenglei nodded.

"That's natural. When the tobacco tax is raised, it's easy to support military expenses."

he said,

"If your Majesty wants to fight in the future, you won't need any other money, but this tobacco tax alone will be enough to support the battle expenses of an army of 20!"

"In this way, while fighting the war, the country can still develop as usual without using money from the treasury, wouldn't it be beautiful?"

Li Shimin nodded again and again.

"Good, good, very good!"

Li Er's eyes lit up, and he said happily,
"I just said, this smoke is a good thing!"

"Come on, for Datang's military expenses, I will buy another one! Do you want it?"

Xu Fenglei: "..."

Now, it seems that Li Er has more reason to smoke!
Damn stuff...

At this moment, a voice suddenly came from outside:

"Report to Your Majesty."

"The Tubo envoy Gal Dongzan has arrived."

Li Shimin was about to light a cigarette, but when he heard this, he put the cigarette down.

"The envoy of Tubo... I've left him alone for a long time."

He raised his hand and said,

"Call him in."

The nearby waiter retreated.

"The minister also resigned." Xu Fenglei also got up and left the table.

"Sit down, sit down, and listen in."

Li Shimin waved his hand and said,

"You are familiar with Tubo, and you are also good at foreign affairs."

"Oh, I just want to save face too much. Sometimes it may hurt Datang's interests without knowing it. You have to be there to help guard the door."

"This Tubo envoy also came prepared, he came to ask for a marriage!"

"Okay." Xu Fenglei nodded and sat down again.

He also wanted to know what the legendary Tubo Prime Minister Lu Dongzan looked like.

"Gar Dongzan, envoy of the Tubo Kingdom, pays homage to His Majesty Tian Khan."

Lu Dongzan walked into the upper study room, saluted respectfully,

"May His Majesty Tian Khan stay young forever and live forever."

Li Shimin smiled slightly, raised his hand and said:
"Exemption."

"Kar...Gar Dongzan?"

Lu Dongzan just stood up and looked at Li Shimin.

"Yes, Your Majesty Khan, you can also call out the minister's Tang name, Lu Dongzan."

he laughed,
"I like the word salary very much. There is a saying in the Tang Dynasty that 'eat the king's salary and share the worries for the king'. I thought to myself, this is the reason why I came to Datang."

Li Shimin nodded slightly.

This Tubo envoy is gentle and gentle, much better than Murong Lin from Tuyuhun.

"Very good, it seems that you are also a loyal minister."

He pointed to Xu Fenglei and said,
"I forgot to introduce you, this is Xu Guogong, Xu Fenglei, the prince and grand teacher."

Lu Dongzan turned his head to look at Xu Fenglei, startled.

"So you are Grand Master Xu Gong! I have heard of you for a long time!"

He hurriedly saluted,
"I never thought you'd be so young!"

"It's true that heroes are born young! Only a treasure land like Datang can breed such outstanding people."

Xu Fenglei laughed.

This kid can also speak strangely.

"The Lu envoy praised it absurdly."

he said,

"Tubo is also a treasure land. I heard that today's Tubo has a mild climate, a bumper harvest of food, and a rapid population growth."

"The plateau country in the past is now almost a land of fish and rice, and it can naturally breed talents, such as your Zanpu Songtsen Gampo, and your Ludongzan."

"Speaking of which, in this world, which countries are thriving, the only ones are Tang and Tubo!"

Lu Dongzan was even more surprised when he heard this.

"Grand Xu actually knows so much about me, Tubo?"

he said,

"Have you been to Tibet all these years?"

If I hadn't been to Tubo these years, I would never have come to such a conclusion!
Because before Songtsan Gampo came to power, Tubo was definitely not thriving!
"No, I just heard about it."

Xu Fenglei waved his hand and smiled,
"The so-called scholar can know the affairs of the world without going out."

"Although I have never left Chang'an, I am very interested in the information of the surrounding countries and like to analyze it."

"After some analysis, I think Tubo has great potential, which is far beyond what countries like Xue Yantuo and Tuyuhun can match."

Lu Dong admired Xu Fenglei with a dignified expression.

He knows that there are many talents in Datang.

But he didn't expect that Datang would have such an expert!I know so much about Tubo!
This undoubtedly messed up his plan, making the speeches he had prepared useless now!

"This grand master, I have a high opinion of Tubo! It is said that your monarch Songtsan Gampo is wise and powerful, and his ability to govern is not inferior to mine!"

Li Shimin said with great interest,
"Lu Dongzan, can you tell me about your Songtsan Gampo's achievements?"

"I'm very interested in him!"

Lu Dongzan: "..."

"This……"

He glanced at Xu Fenglei, and saw that he was smiling and looked unfathomable.

If it is nonsense, it may be exposed!It will be embarrassing then!
In desperation, Lu Dongzan could only say:
"Zanpu does have achievements, but if you want to compare him with His Majesty Tian Khan, he is definitely not comparable, and it is hard to beat him!"

"As for the destruction of the Turks, it is a feat unmatched by any monarch! When Zanpu mentioned you, he also admired you, saying that he wanted to meet you, the legendary Tian Khan, what is it? appearance."

"Before he left, he also told his ministers to watch it carefully, and to explain it to him in detail after returning to Tubo!"

"In fact, before I came here, I was also very curious about your appearance - I have always thought that His Majesty Tian Khan's face must be extremely handsome and majestic, otherwise he would not be able to make those legendary achievements! Now that I see - —”

Li Shimin frowned.

"how?"

Li Er laughed,

"Big disappointment?"

Lu Dongzan shook his head again and again.

"No, no, I take it for granted!"

he said,

"Heaven Khan, I have to grow up like you!"

"If I don't grow up to be like you, I won't even admit it!"

Hearing this, Li Shimin couldn't help laughing out loud.

"Hahahaha...you Lu Dongzan, you really can talk!"

Li Er stroked his beard and smiled,

"I can't say how handsome I am, at most...it's the appearance of a man!"

He was very happy in his heart, but he was humble in his mouth, typical of Versailles.

"Your Majesty's face is absolutely superior!"

Lu Dongzan hurriedly said,
"But the more important thing is your temperament! It seems a bit indescribable... But I just feel that the emperor's aura in you is something that no one else can have!"

"It's like Xu Gong, Xu Gong is very beautiful, but he doesn't have your aura. His aura is different, it belongs to the kind of talent and loyalty... Well, I don't know if I'm right. "

Xu Fenglei pouted.

Good guy!
This kid is really good at talking!Listening to his words, I really feel like a spring breeze!
Who doesn't like this kind of person?

This kid's popularity must be very good!
And he was very witty. He skipped the emperor's question about Songtsan Gampo, and calmly diverted the topic to other places, which made everyone feel happy and comfortable!
This ability... tsk tsk.

No wonder it is the legendary Prime Minister of Tubo!
