Datang: Investment Overlord Xiang Yu at the beginning

The first night without curfew in Chang’an passed.

Early the next morning, almost everyone had just woken up at sunrise, but the citizens of Chang’an, who slept much later than usual and got up later, welcomed the new day, but one by one they were extremely energetic, and even, a little excited.

Before everyone could pick up their own troubled livelihoods again, on the Weishui River, one after another three-sail transport boats floated on the water and dangled their rather huge hulls.

“Grain, grain from the south has arrived!”

“It was the southern grain brought by the new ship built by King Yan, and it was transported from the sea!”

The sharp-eyed citizens saw the piles of sacks on the boat, and the whole city suddenly became a sensation.

A large amount of grain enters Chang’an from the south, which means that the whole of Chang’an and even the whole north, food prices will fall again.

In addition, Li Ke’s series of actions have gradually pulled up the economy, a large amount of money and silver have re-flowed from the basement of the landlord’s old wealth to the market, and the money in everyone’s hands has also increased significantly in the past few days, and many people who can only eat half full have actually eaten enough.

The obvious improvement surprised everyone and filled with hope for the future!

“King Yan Wansheng!!”

A thin woman holding a baby looked at the shadow of the three-sail transport ship full of grain on the entire Wei River, and her eyes roared with tears.

“King Yan Wansheng!!”

The same emotional people nearby also shouted together, venting their inner surprises.

Suddenly, the voice cheering for Li Kei came to the city from the bank of the Weishui River.

The cheers of the entire Chang’an were like a tsunami, and the sound shook the roof tiles.

Even inside the palace hall, where the early dynasty was being held, it could be clearly heard.

Inside the main hall, the early dynasty had already begun for a while at this time.

Li Ke, who was dressed in a court uniform, was standing in the center of the hall at this time to speak.

“Yesterday and the day before, the restaurant under the name of the Royal Chamber of Commerce received 300,000 yuan in two days (60 million in later generations), although the number of customers has not changed after withdrawing from the new dishes, but the high-end consumer expenditure has risen significantly, and the Royal Chamber of Commerce will also pay taxes according to the standard of 30 taxes and one tax, and the tax will be borne together in the cost.”

Li Ke’s voice was loud and confident.

“Hiss…”

The civil and military officials above the court suddenly gasped.

Even Li Shimin on the dragon chair had a hint of shock on his majestic face.

The talent shown by Li Kei is too strong, and the ability to fight wars and rule culture, and personally make money, is so strong!

And now he even said that he will pay taxes normally and bear them as one, which means that he is not willing to engage in any privileges.

Even if it is thirty taxes and one, in these two days alone, this Yan King has obtained ten thousand taxes.

All the court officials looked at Li Ke’s eyes, with a hint of admiration, this is truly dedicated to justice!

Although many of them were very unimpressed by a dignified prince doing such businessmen’s things, and even if Li Kei were not Li Ke, he would have been impeached a long time ago, but this did not prevent them from recognizing Li Ke’s character.

“Father, in addition to the benevolent government that labor is no longer free, the children also suggested that in addition to the normal collection of agricultural taxes, the imperial court subsidizes a part of the money, and the grain merchants of our Royal Chamber of Commerce also take out a part of it, give more when collecting grain, buy high and sell low, so that more money and grain can fall into the hands of the people!”

Li Kei once again threw out a way to increase the flow of money and money, that is, planting subsidies.

“This…”

Li Shimin was stunned.

“King Yan, isn’t this giving money for nothing?”

Du Ruxian frowned a little incomprehensibly.

“It is to send, but it is not a free gift, money and silver are dead in the warehouse, and the money flowing is living money, in order to further stimulate production to consume this money, everyone has money to consume through commercial taxes, and as production capacity increases, we will only collect more and more.”

Li Ke, seeing that the hundred officials did not understand a little, directly threw out a golden killing sentence that determined the victory and defeat: “This is an unprecedented benevolent government, and everyone who participates in it will definitely be famous in history!” The opportunity of Wangu Liufang is right now, in front of all the ministers! ”

“Hiss…”

As soon as Li Ke’s words came out, a gasping sound broke out again above the court.

In this era, no matter what kind of military generals do not want their name to remain in history?

As for sticking money, anyway, it was Li Ke’s own and Chaotang’s money, which really didn’t have much to do with them.

“The minister seconded!”

Du Ruxian immediately made a decision and decisively seconded the proposal.

“The minister also seconded!”

“Seconded!”

Suddenly, above the entire hall, a large number of seconded voices sounded.

All the ministers almost rushed to agree with this benevolent government that “left a name in history”.

If you father and son have money, smash it!

“Very good, since all the ministers agreed, at this time, the decision will be issued by Du Aiqing!”

Li Shimin’s majestic voice came from the dragon chair and made the final clapping.

After making a decision at this time, Li Kei spoke again.

“Father, the emperor, now that my Great Tang has pacified the Turkic and Yan kingdoms, the land area has increased, and now there is no shortage of armor, money and food, and the children propose that the hussar army be expanded by 300,000 as a standing army.”

Li Kei once again bowed his hand to Li Shimin and said.

“Three hundred thousand standing soldiers like the Central Sixteenth Guard? In this way, wouldn’t the number of professional soldiers who left production add up to more than 600,000? Inappropriate, inappropriate! ”

After Du Ruxian heard this, his expression changed greatly.

The 16th Central Guard already has a standing army of 300,000, and the hussar army has expanded the hussar army to 300,000 in one breath, and the entire 600,000 people do not produce full-time military, such a extravagant act, the ministers will go crazy!

“Lord Du’s statement is good, so after the hussar army expands, the royal family can raise troops, without the court’s funding, it can be directly commanded by His Majesty.”

Li Ke’s appearance of what you said made sense and immediately gave a solution.

“This… His Majesty himself engaged in another private army? There was no such thing in previous dynasties, right? ”

Du Ruxian scratched his head, a little confused about this unprecedented thing.

“Then there is no explicit rule that His Majesty cannot raise an army at his own expense, right, Lord Du?”

Li Ke, taking advantage of Du Ruxi’s confusion, asked directly and with a cannon.

“This… Your Majesty, Wei Chen does not have an opinion, but just wants to make it clear that the soldiers and horses in this world are all His Majesty, and the military department is not an institution that restricts His Majesty. ”

Du Ruxian vaguely felt that this incident would lead to the emergence of an army that was not controlled by civil and military officials, but he did not find a reason to oppose it, and could only start to make peace.

“Well, Du Aiqing is right, the world’s soldiers and horses are all decaying, since the expansion of the territory needs to increase manpower, and the court does not have enough money, it is a decay.”

Li Shimin on the dragon chair made up an assist in time, and suddenly, this matter was settled.

The news of the expansion of the hussar army soon spread, and the world was sensational!
