Taking the warehouse back to Datang, Li Erle felt numb

Chapter 86 I am very optimistic about you, do a good job!
At the same time, the atmosphere in the study room of the Minister of Civil Affairs was very strange.

Because His Majesty just came to check the post out of the blue, shocking Dou Jing, the Minister of Civil Affairs, and others, and broke into a cold sweat.

Thought something happened.

Then I learned that His Majesty had brought someone here.

He said that there might be a way to solve the problems of the victims, and he had an idea that he wanted them to hear if it was suitable.

Then he specifically warned me.

You must not call your Majesty your Majesty!

Um.
Why is this?

Although they didn't understand it, they respected Li Shimin's opinion.

The key point is that this is not a big deal, and it is not a betrayal of their career gains and life beliefs, so why don't they just cooperate?

Soon, Li Shimin came in with someone.

He is not very old, but he still looks like a young man.

Probably smaller.

"Let me introduce, this is Lin Heng, Lin Heng, the singer of Shui Tiao. Have you all heard of it?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone present looked over.

Then who doesn’t know.

He, Dou Jing, was one of the people who wrote this poem in Chunming Tower with his own eyes that day.

He said why is it so familiar.

Those present may have never seen Lin Heng, but they have heard of the water-melody singer who is popular in Chang'an.

It turns out that it was written by this person, his literary talent is very good, and he is also very handsome.

Lin Heng bowed his hands and said, "I've met you all."

Dou Jing said with a smile.

"Mr. Li just said, do you have any ideas to deal with the famine?"

Lin Heng looked at Li Shimin, a little panicked.

After all, those in front of you, one by one, are all the big guys in the court.

I can’t afford to offend, what if I say the wrong thing and get beheaded?
Although the crime was not serious, I was still a little panicked.

Li Shimin chuckled.

"It doesn't matter, just express your opinions. Whether it is useful or not, we have to listen and discuss it together to know."

"Don't worry, these people are all serving the country and the people. Every one of them is an outstanding talent personally selected by His Majesty."

Hearing this, Lin Heng could only nodded.

What else can be done?
Then you have to bite the bullet and continue.

"Cough cough."

"I heard from Mr. Li that the victims from Shandong may arrive in Chang'an during this period."

Dou Jing, Minister of Civil Affairs, nodded.

"It's true. In Shandong, last year's snowstorm and this year's drought were more serious than those in the early years of Zhenguan. It even reached the point where it was impossible to survive without leaving Shandong."

"Along the way, people are dying of hunger. The victims will eat whatever they have. If the local government hadn't tried their best to stop them, they would have eaten all the food along the way!"

"But some time ago, His Majesty mobilized the money saved in the treasury to provide disaster relief, and sent it to local governments for distribution, in order to reduce the number of victims who came in. However, many people still came here. The news just came today, It is reported that the number of victims along the way has been reduced by 10%, and as many as [-] victims have arrived in Chang'an!"

After hearing this, Lin Heng also took a deep breath.

One hundred thousand victims, so many people standing together, there is no end in sight!
It is conceivable that the situation of these disaster victims is indeed serious now.

Wang Jingchuan, Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, said anxiously: "Don't you have a way to relieve the victims? Tell me quickly!"

"Yes, everyone is listening!"

Dou Jing also nodded: "It's okay, Mr. Lang."

Lin Heng sorted out his thoughts for a moment and then said:
"To solve the problems of the victims, in the final analysis, it is to give these victims a way to live, right?"

Dou Jing nodded slightly: "Not bad."

"Of course it will cost money and food."

"But now that the Tang Dynasty's treasury is empty, there is obviously no way to get this part of the money from the treasury, so we might as well find another way and transfer it to the private sector."

Lin Heng then explained his idea, which could help the current Tang Dynasty earn money and food.

This is a huge project!

Nationwide, issue Datang treasury bonds!
Using the Tang Dynasty's current reputation as a guarantee, the sale of this kind of national debt can be exchanged for money and food, and the interest will be paid for several years and years, as well as how to repay it in the future, and the beneficial and adverse effects it will bring. of.There is no need to say more about the beneficial effects.

Get money and food and solve the current problem.

The adverse effects are also obvious.

That means Datang needs to bear the extra interest and increase the fiscal deficit.

That is, construction behavior that exceeds budget.

This time, facing these big guys from the Ministry of Civil Affairs, Lin Heng spoke in more detail.

Regarding how to issue government bonds, how to ensure authenticity, record keeping, and how to set interest points, etc.

He talked about everything in detail for more than an hour.

Originally, the group of people in Shangshufang still listened with suspicion.

But the more you listen to it, the more interesting it becomes.

They just feel that this method seems to be really feasible!

At the end of the sentence, Dou Jing couldn't help but nod in admiration: "If this method continues to be implemented, I'm afraid it will be very convenient! It will directly solve the problem of the victims, and even support the food supply in Shandong area until it is restored." It’s production!”

However, some people put forward different opinions.

"The issuance of national bonds in the name of the royal family can be understood by anyone with a discerning eye. This is a symbol that the royal family has no money, so it has to borrow money from the private sector."

"Isn't it a little bad if this matter spreads out?"

Lin Heng waved his hand: "Since your Majesty ascended the throne, he has built local areas, held imperial examinations, and raised troops to conquer Japanese pirates. The people of the Tang Dynasty know how much money there is in the treasury."

Everyone was a little confused.

"How to say?"

"I'm poor and useless!"

As soon as these words came out, Dou Jing immediately looked at Li Shimin with a smile.

"That's right. Your Majesty has indeed been very poor these past few years. He has been tightening his belt to get by."

Hearing this, Li Shimin felt slightly embarrassed.

"Raising an army to conquer the Turks is a helpless move. How can we allow others to sleep soundly on the side of the couch!"

"Now, the world is at peace and there are no wars to fight. Your Majesty may be rich in two years."

Dou Jing chuckled and was noncommittal.

As long as your majesty doesn't go to war and continues to develop at the current level, he will definitely be rich.

"So, the people also know that His Majesty has no money, but His Majesty will definitely have money, so there will be no shame."

"After all, the reputation of the royal family is guaranteed, and the people are not afraid of the royal family running away. If they really don't pay, their reputation will be severely damaged!"

After listening to Lin Heng's words, everyone felt that it made sense.

What time is it now, and I still think about face.

If they can't get any more money, His Majesty will throw them on the stove to roast them!

Dou Jing said nothing.

"Just do it!"

After all, His Majesty is standing beside Lin Heng, so he must have agreed with this approach.

And there really is no other better way.

No matter what, if you can get money to solve the current problem, that's not a problem.

Li Shimin chuckled.

"In that case, Lin Heng, please stay in the Ministry of Civil Affairs during this period, just in time to help Shangshu Dou share the burden."

"After all, this plan was proposed by you. It is up to you to plan how to implement it and the specific plan, and then just discuss it with Dou Shangshu."

Dou Jing nodded: "Then I will first give you a false position and an official badge, so that you can enter and exit the Suzaku Gate unimpeded."

When Lin Heng heard this, he hesitated and nodded.

If you do a good job, will you be promoted to an official position?

Even if you don't have an official position, it can still be considered a meritorious service.

Besides, Lin Heng is very good at this kind of thing. How can there be a business person who doesn't understand finance?

Li Shimin patted Lin Heng on the shoulder.

"I like you very much!"
