Datang: My Peerless Talent Has Been Exposed

Zhang Nuo didn't know these things, but Li Shimin knew it very well, because he arranged many things by himself, and there were even several collateral families in the middle who were directly arranged by Li Shimin to be killed and planted on Zhang Nuo.

On the surface, it looked like a tacit fight between Zhang Nuo and the aristocratic family, but in fact, without Zhang Nuo's knowledge, he and several major aristocratic families had almost become deadly enemies.

Li Shimin took great pains so that Zhang Nuo would not fall to the aristocratic family.

But just one Zhang Nuo is not enough. Judging from today's auction, the background of the aristocratic family is much more terrifying than he imagined.

No matter what age it is, it is better to have money than to have no money, but once there is a certain amount of money, a very different situation will appear.

Especially the northern family consortium that just won the auction, the huge cash of [-] yuan will be sent to the Ministry of Households tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.

How much property of these aristocratic families has been taken up here?How much gold and silver is still buried and hidden in their big houses and ancestral lands?

Thinking of this, Li Shimin felt a dull pain in his brain.

Fang Xuanling was not from a wealthy family, so he was naturally on Li Shimin's side at the moment, and said slowly,

"Your Majesty, this royal title has been given to the northern family. Although they have been given a sum of money temporarily, will it make them stronger?"

"After all, this is still a business in the final analysis. These merchants on the field dare to invest so much, so they naturally see that they can earn more opportunities from it."

"The aristocratic family already has a deep foundation, if you wantonly make money, wouldn't it be an incomparably rich country?"

Li Shimin's teeth itch when he heard that "wealth can rival a country",

"There's no need for the future, they are actually wealthy now, Guochao's annual income of [-] million last year, I'm afraid it can't compare with the dark coffers in these people's homes!"

After complaining, Li Shimin still honestly pondered what Fang Xuanling said just now.

After thinking about it for a while, Li Shimin shook his head and said seriously,

"It's okay, no matter how the family earns money, as long as it is done in an upright manner, it must pay me commercial tax. Commercial tax doesn't matter whether you are from a noble family or not."

"And as long as you make money in an upright manner, you don't have to worry about your status. I still have this measure. Guochao also hopes to have a few more such big households paying business taxes!"

"The most important thing is that Guochao has gained a large amount of income this time, and the national power and military power will definitely increase. Before, I was able to suppress them, and now I am suppressing them!"

"After all, a family is still not as strong as a country and a dynasty. As long as the Tang Dynasty continues to be strong, and the monarch and ministers are of the same mind, even if such aristocratic families rebel, they will definitely be like a cart."

Although Li Shimin has worries, he will never show any weakness in front of his courtiers. He does have worries when facing the aristocratic family, but he is more confident.

It doesn't matter if you are strong, I can become stronger than you, and in the end I will be so strong that you will be speechless.

Li Shimin knew very well that the encirclement and suppression of aristocratic families is not a matter of a day or two or even a year or two. The profound family will eventually be Li Tang's stepping stone!

Chapter 205

For Li Shimin, even if the total turnover of the entire auction eventually exceeded one million guan, accounting for [-]% of last year's annual income, Li Shimin was too lazy to take care of it for the time being.

Now his mind is full of thoughts on how to restrict the aristocratic family, and at the same time protect his little brother Zhang. Only when he continuously produces good things can he have more courage to face all this.

When the ministers saw that the auction was over, they all planned to leave, but Li Shimin sat there firmly, looked at the ministers around him and said seriously,

"Father has practiced strict frugality for nearly ten years, but still can't restore the people's livelihood of Daye for ten years. When was that? That was the time when Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty ruined Emperor Wen's family property and the Sui Dynasty was about to collapse!"

"I often chat with Brother Xiao Zhang. Once he drank too much and once told me that he who wins the hearts of the people wins the world. As long as the people in all the territory of the Tang Dynasty have no worries about food and clothing, no one can set off a large-scale riot." rebel!"

"I agree with this point very much! This auction is over, and the love ministers will supervise Dai Zhou to complete the follow-up handover. I believe you have seen the new cavalry weapon that I worked so hard to get from brother Zhang!"

"As long as the finances are sufficient, one year is enough for us to form more than [-] cavalry, and the Turkic wolf cubs will beat them to death!"

"After the Turks are destroyed, I will turn around and rectify the country. At that time, with the power of a great victory, I will deal a severe blow to the arrogance of the aristocratic family. I also hope that all my lovers can follow in my footsteps and move forward bravely!"

All the courtiers don't understand now that the emperor is forcing them to express their views, so it goes without saying that they must quickly follow in the footsteps of the emperor. forward.

Li Shimin is finally satisfied. Although he was a little hit by the rich financial resources of the family before, it doesn't matter. The money was sent to the treasury and his internal funds. He also has a group of virtuous officials and generals. family.

This night, Li Shimin, who was not only excited, practiced martial arts for an hour in front of the Ganlu Temple in the heavy snow, and then went to rest.

But the next morning, just after the morning court, he was held back by Cheng Yaojin with a wicked smile on his face, and asked him with a smile if he wanted to be a guest at the Zhuangzi outside the city.

Li Shimin was taken aback, what do you mean?Why don't you go to work and plan to sneak away to the shopkeeper Xiao Zhang's village outside the city to eat delicious and spicy food?

But before he opened his mouth to reprimand, Cheng Yaojin took the initiative to say,

"Your Majesty, the soldiers who were assigned to Zhuangzi outside the city have been prepared, and they can go out of the city today. Do you want to go and have a look, Your Majesty?"

Li Shimin thought about it, but still refused, because he was afraid that some general who knew him would accidentally reveal his identity, and it would be no fun.

So, let's wait for Cheng Yaojin and others to make arrangements first, and at the same time, he also asked Cheng Yaojin to give some serious instructions.Especially the recent assassination of Zhang Nuo by the aristocratic family, which was almost continuous, all of which required the general to spend some effort on defense at that time.

Cheng Yaojin frowned when he heard the current situation. Although he looked like a bastard on the surface, in fact, he never made mistakes in the tasks assigned by Li Shimin.

Therefore, after hearing that there were already more than a dozen groups of dead men who wanted to assassinate Zhang Nuo, his first thought was to simply defend according to the standard of garrisoning the army after it was deployed.

Datang's army has strict standards for setting up camp. The defensive circle, clear whistle, dark whistle, horse refusal posts, patrol teams, and passwords are not as strict as they are one by one.

But this matter requires His Majesty's permission. After all, setting up a military camp directly outside Chang'an City is not a regular military camp. If there is no permission from His Majesty, it will be trivial to be accused of treason.

Cheng Yaojin directly expressed his concerns, Li Shimin smiled and shook his head,

"Zhijie, you old bastard is usually the most courageous, but now you have learned to be cautious, but don't worry, I will not let you old bastard get into trouble, I will give you an imperial decree, just as a drill The new military training method, you surrounded that Zhuangzi!"

"Don't worry about it, you old bastard. The industry that is being coveted is not just papermaking. I also have several top-secret industries in it, and several of them are for improving military power and combat power. Don't mess around! "

"I'm not joking with you, that Zhuangzi and the workshop will be the same level of guards as my palace in the future, and I will point to the things in there to strengthen the army and enrich the people!"

Cheng Yaojin also knew when he heard this. It seems that there is a big task in it this time. Since the alert level has been raised to the level of the palace, then naturally there is no need to think about other things. According to the strictest defense Just come and get it.
