Zhenguan Leisurely King

Chapter 170 Wilderness Survival Training ([-])

Li Er and others listened to Wang Ping'an's simple and clear explanation of the role of the condolence group, and discovered the importance of the condolence group. They believed that the condolence group was equivalent to rewarding the three armies. Why not do it to relieve the tedious and boring training in the military camp.

There was only one person in the room who was preoccupied and had a bitter face. He was Wei Zheng, the household secretary in charge of the entire Tang Dynasty's finances.

Li Er knew that Wei Zheng was an upright person, dedicated to the people, for the country, for the Tang Dynasty, and was just and honest, and dared to point out his faults, so he was relieved to let him manage the money and food of the court.

Wei Zheng stood up and said: "Your Majesty, I think it is necessary to set up an inspection agency and a condolence team, and I should formulate a plan immediately, but I am afraid that this matter will have to be delayed. This year, the revenue and expenditure of the imperial government's budget can only be balanced. , there is no extra money to set up a condolence team."

"I remember that last year's tax revenue was more than 300 million yuan. Could it be that there is no money and food available so soon?" Li Er asked with a look of disbelief.

Hearing Li Er's question, Wei Zheng quickly knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, although the tax revenue last year was as much as 300 million guan, the imperial court also spent a lot. For example, this year the imperial court allocated 30 guan for reinforcement of the Yellow River embankment before the rainy season. , Another 50 guan was allocated for military expenses, and another [-] guan was allocated to purchase food, and another example..."

"That's enough. I know that Wei Aiqing has worked so hard for the country and the people. It's my fault that I still question you like this." Li Er said with self-blame.

"Your Majesty knows the mistakes and can correct them. It is the blessing of the people and the great fortune of the Tang Dynasty." Wei Zheng said with a righteous look.

All the ministers also knelt down and said: "Your Majesty knows the mistakes and can correct them. It is the blessing of the people and the great fortune of the Tang Dynasty."

Wang Ping'an got goosebumps when he watched Li Er and Wei Zheng's scene of a king, a sage, a minister, and a virtuous man.

Immediately afterwards, I saw the officials knelt down and shouted: "Your Majesty knows the mistakes and can correct them. It is the blessing of the people and the great fortune of the Tang Dynasty."

Wang Ping'an could only kneel down obediently, and shouted: "Your Majesty knows the mistakes and can correct them. It is the blessing of the people and the great fortune of the Tang Dynasty."

Although he said flattering words with everyone in his mouth, he said with contempt in his heart: "Whoa, my goosebumps. No wonder Li Er can be famous in history. This attitude of knowing mistakes and correcting them will not let the ministers under him Following you wholeheartedly."

Li Er hurriedly said: "All my loves, please hurry up."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." The ministers thanked each other.

Wang Pingan looked up and saw Li Er's flashing eyes of satisfaction and pretending to be B, and curled his lips at Li Er in his heart.

Li Er said: "Wang Ping'an, you have also heard that the court's money and food are used for other purposes and cannot be embezzled. What else can you do?"

"A way, what can I do, there is no 21st century science and technology, military management, etc." Wang Pingan thought.

He said in his mouth: "Your Majesty, I have no other options for the time being. However, there is a way to allow the court to collect more taxes. If you are interested, you can also participate together."

When it comes to making money, many people's eyes light up, and many people look at Wang Ping'an with contempt, thinking that he smells like copper, and a child cannot be taught.

"Then how do we do it?" Changsun Wuji asked. First of all, he is the prime minister of the court, and he has to take care of people's livelihood, financial income, promotion and demotion of officials, etc.

Secondly, he asked this question on behalf of Li Er, since Li Er is also the emperor, it is impossible to ask this question in person, and in the end he had to ask his good friend and brother-in-law to help.

Wang Pingan said: "It's very simple, develop business."

Everyone gasped, this was a groundbreaking idea.

"Since ancient times, scholars, farmers, businessmen, and businessmen have been divided into four levels, and merchants are the last ones. Do you know why?" Wei Zheng stood up and asked.

"I also ask Mr. Wei to enlighten me." Wang Pingan said.

Wei Zheng said loudly: "Businessmen pursue fame and fortune by whatever means. If all the people in the world become merchants, then who will farm the land and who will work, the world will not be in chaos."

"Master Wei, what you said is also reasonable. I won't argue with you." Wang Pingan didn't argue with Wei Zheng, because it was completely unnecessary. Torture yourself, so don't argue with him.

Wang Ping'an reincarnated and cupped his hands to Li Er, who was seated first, and said, "Your Majesty, I am willing to exchange Master Wen's Zhuangzi's land for a piece of wasteland of a hundred acres in the south of Chang'an City."

Everyone never expected that Wang Ping'an would have such a request. Exchanging a thousand acres of good farmland and a Zhuangzi for a hundred acres of wasteland is equivalent to exchanging a piece of gold for a pile of dog shit. It should not be a pile of gold for a pile of dog shit .

Li Er was stunned all of a sudden, and he couldn't turn his head around all of a sudden, and forgot to answer. Fortunately, the eunuch beside him reminded him.

"Zunzao. I will give you another mansion."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Wang Pingan didn't have any hope of getting Zhuangzi and fertile land of hot springs, so he might as well want a natural enemy that will be useful in the future.

On the other side, seeing the sky getting darker, Qin Huaiyu said to Guo Jinyong, "Company Commander Guo, let's split up now."

"Okay." Guo Jinyong nodded.

Qin Huaiyu once again acted as a bait to lure Li Jing's soldiers and horses.

This time Li Jing learned his lesson, he did not send anyone to chase after Qin Huaiyu and the others, but stayed on the road to prevent others from passing.

No matter how provocative Qin Huaiyu tried to provoke them, they were unmoved, which made Qin Huaiyu frown.
