Ji Tang

Chapter 1477 I believe you!

The majestic Wanmin Palace looks like a fairyland. It may be raining lightly, and the outside of the palace is misty, making the entire palace seem to be in a fairyland. But in such an environment, in the palace, Ji Song looked at Li Shimin who was standing above him carefully with uneasiness. When he saw a trace of satisfaction on the corner of his mouth, he put down his worries.

"Well, you're quite attentive!"

But then he hesitated and said: "But isn't it a bit extravagant and wasteful? It will cost a lot of money, right?"

The corner of Ji Song's mouth twitched. If he hadn't seen the other party grabbing Zuoshu tightly, he would have believed it.

But now, I believe you!

"Your Majesty, you are worrying too much!"

Suppressing the contempt in his heart, he said calmly: "Your Majesty has devoted his whole life for the world, for the Tang Dynasty, and for the people. Without Your Majesty, there would be no prosperous age, and there would be no peace and contentment for the people now. You have worked hard all your life and dedicated your life. A lot. Now as a subject and as your people, I should hold a celebration for you, so why waste it?"

"What's more, Datang's tax revenue has increased greatly, and there is a surplus every year. However, this is not a good thing. A large amount of money is accumulated in the internal treasury and cannot be circulated in the market. In the long run, there will be a money panic, which will be great for Datang's economy. Strike and fall back.”

"What we have to do now is to spend the money and let it circulate in the market so that more people can earn wealth. This is the greatest benevolent government!"

Li Shimin nodded, if he had thought it was nonsense before. But having experienced money panic, he clearly understands the rationale. If money is kept in the internal treasury and not spent, it will be a pile of useless waste. Only by spending it can you increase your wealth.

And as the market circulates, it will eventually flow into the national treasury in various forms, and there may be more.

"In that case, let's do it!"

"but."

Li Shimin glanced at Ji Song, and for the first time he felt that Ji Song was so pleasing to the eye. Today, whether he spoke or did things, he spoke to his heart, and he was extremely satisfied with his actions.

"Your Majesty, if you have any doubts, please give me orders and I will do my best!"

Well, it’s more flavorful!

Li Shimin coughed and said in confusion: "Even if there is a celebration, there is no need to invite so many people, right? Forget about officials from the Tang Dynasty. Although they are local officials, it is not harmful. But are there some people from other countries? pass?"

Then he couldn't help but asked: "Is there enough time?"

Yes, this is the Li Shimin he knows. This shameless energy is still authentic!

"Your Majesty, don't worry. Those who should come will come without invitation, and those who shouldn't come will not dare not to come. As for the journey, I have made preparations."

"I would like to request your Majesty to order the Nanhai Navy Fleet to immediately go to the Red Sea Strait, where they will welcome the envoys from the Far West Country and the Eastern Roman Empire. Then they will return, passing through Dashi, Persia, and the countries in the Western Regions, and will capture them along the way. Bringing it from the sea to the Tang Dynasty will only take about half a year at the current speed of the general, so it won’t delay things.”

Li Shimin was a little surprised and asked curiously: "They will definitely come? What if they don't come?"

Ji Song looked at him with a strange look and said with some confusion: "Not coming? Why don't they come? If it's not their king or emperor who wants to come, they are just envoys, what reason do they have to refuse?"

"As for some stubborn and ignorant fools, do you really care about it? You only have one chance. If you don't come, it's a good time. You dare to despise the Tang Dynasty. This is a provocation to the Tang Dynasty, an insult to our ministers, and even more to the Great Tang. "This is a great shame for the soldiers of Tang Baizhan." "If this is true, Your Majesty does not need to worry about it. I, the soldiers of Tang Dynasty, will let them know who is the king of this heaven. Your title of Khan is not just nice to hear."

Li Shimin stared at Ji Song's leaving figure in stunned silence. It was not until his eldest grandson came that he came back to his senses. He was shocked and said: "Guanyin, what kind of monster have I cultivated? His grandma's, I am not so domineering." Pass."

"Huantian Khan is not only nice to hear, but what does he want to do? Send troops to conquer?"

The eldest grandson helped the emperor sit down. Although he looked dissatisfied, how could she, the person next to him, not see the excitement in his eyes?

"I think Ziyi is right. It is no longer the time for you to ascend the throne in the Tang Dynasty, nor is it the time for Jie Li to go south to the Wei River and we are helpless. It is not the time for one or two wars to determine the rise and fall of the Tang Dynasty. "

She said proudly: "In the Tang Dynasty today, all the officials and military officials are outstanding, the soldiers are brave, and they are victorious in every battle. The people live and work in peace and contentment, there is no famine, and every household has a surplus of food. Even the merchants have contributed a lot of wealth Fu. Although Xungui is occasionally indulgent, it is harmless. The family members have gone overseas and there is no threat. "

"The territory of the Tang Dynasty was so vast that the map had to be updated every few years, and the population was increasing day by day."

"With such a great Tang Dynasty, I really can't imagine what kind of potential it can unleash. This is the best time, an era when the Great Tang Dynasty dominates the world, conquers the world, and makes the world bow."

"And this was shaped by you!"

Li Shimin couldn't come to his senses for a long time. He never expected that the always gentle queen would say such domineering words.

"What? Are you surprised?"

Li Shimin nodded blankly. This really went against the square formation he had when he was in charge of politics!
The eldest grandson smiled, gently squeezed his shoulders, and said, "You are really a fan of the authorities. In the past few years, you have been focusing on the construction of this palace, but you have not paid attention to many things."

"My concubine is different. When I have nothing to do, I look for Pingyang or go to the academy. I learned a lot of news!"

Li Shimin suddenly couldn't sit still and said quickly: "Tell me quickly!"

"Okay, then let me tell you!"

Changsun said happily: "Actually, the biggest variable lies in the academy!"

"Academy?" Li Shimin was puzzled.

"That's right, it's the academy. Maybe you don't know how many students graduate from Datang every year, right? Even my concubine was shocked when she heard it."

"How many?"

The eldest grandson held out a finger and said calmly: "One hundred thousand!"

Ignoring Li Shimin's shock, he continued: "You didn't expect how big a platform Taibai Academy provided for aspiring people in the world. When everyone saw the potential of the academy, a large number of academies sprung up like mushrooms after a spring rain. Even aristocratic families have begun to open up private schools, and those who pass the exam can study.”

"Now in Guanzhong, in addition to Taibai Academy and Imperial College, there is Chang'an Academy, which was established by some eminent scholars in the imperial court. There is Huashan Academy, which has the background of the Hongnong Yang family. There is Yingchuan Academy in the local area, which was established after the Xun family in the late Han Dynasty. The Academy in Luoyang was founded by a group of scholars in Luoyang, with the shadow of the Lu family and the Pei family behind it. There is the Yanshan Academy in Hebei, which was established by the Hebei aristocratic family."

"There are other places."
