The Strongest Imperial Grandson of the Great Tang Dynasty

Xiao Shougui understood that Li Xiang was going to test himself.

Although the people below have said that Xiao Shougui is doing a good job and some important things can be entrusted to him in the future, Li Xiang still inadvertently asked a question. What others said was one thing, but what he saw with his own eyes was another. Something else.

"This person can be used, but we must always be wary of him and give him a beating every once in a while. After all, he has led soldiers before. If our management is too lax, we may have other ideas in the future."

Xiao Shougui blurted out directly without thinking for too long. If you think for too long, even if your answer makes Li Xiang very satisfied, then you will only be an ordinary talent in Li Xiang's heart. There are too many general talents in such a camp.

"That's right. For the time being, you still have to stay in the Western Region. You can continue to beat this man. As for Wadahan, except for giving him three meals a day, let him stay there for the rest. He is not allowed to contact anyone, and no pieces of paper are allowed to leak out. In the final analysis, he is in jail in the palace."

Xiao Shougui knew that Li Xiang was leaving. Several documents from the court had already arrived. Li Xiang had to rush to Nanzhao Kingdom when he returned, so this was explaining the affairs of the Western Regions.

"Please rest assured, Your Highness, I will never fall twice in the same place."

To put it bluntly, Xiao Shougui is also responsible for what happened this time. Both he and Su Lingfang underestimated Walahan. They were deceived by this guy in normal times. Otherwise, it would have been impossible for him to interact with the people outside. People are connected, and I thought that after controlling all the troops, this guy would not be able to make other moves. It seems that he really underestimated this guy.

"I will only give you one chance, including Su Dingfang. If you make too many mistakes, then I'm afraid you have to find a place to think carefully. Life is like sailing against the current. If you don't advance, you will retreat. If you keep standing still If so, then the back will surpass you."

Although Li Xiang's words were not very harsh, Xiao Shougui was still upset. What Li Xiang said was true. After joining this camp, Xiao Shougui also saw many capable people. No worse than yourself, the only thing missing is an opportunity. If you let these people seize the opportunity, then you may not be able to get ahead in the future.

It doesn't matter if your mother is a princess. Are there not many princesses in the Tang Dynasty? To be able to be in this position now, your mother's kindness has been used up. If you can't shine in this position, you must keep the light without any dimness. Now this time there is a huge black hole. That’s it.

"Wei Chen takes orders."

Xiao Shougui knelt on the ground. Li Xiang looked at the form in front of him, and then asked him to get up. There was no need to be so solemn when talking in private, but he had to hit what needed to be hit.

"Have you prepared all the gold and silver for the imperial court?"

This time Li Xiang returned to the capital, he had to bring back some money. At first, many people in the imperial court opposed the Western Region policy, thinking that it was a matter of spending money but not making money, so this time he had to let the people of the imperial court see it. Yes, Li Xiang did make money in the Western Regions.

Hearing Li Xiang ask about serious matters, Xiao Shougui also breathed a sigh of relief. This means that our crisis has passed. He knows Li Xiang fairly well. As long as it talks about serious matters, it means that you have done well in the past. The matter will not be pursued, but Xiao Shougui can't relax in his heart. The feeling just now was indeed uncomfortable, and he didn't want it to happen again in this life.

"To return to His Highness, all kinds of items worth a total of four million yuan have been loaded onto the trucks. There are more than ninety cars in total, and they are heading to the capital with Your Highness."

In this catastrophe, Li Xiang found a total of 19 million yuan in various items. However, Li Xiang could not hand over all of them to the court, but at the same time he had to hand over some of them so that the court could see his belongings. Only with patience can you continue to leave matters in the Western Region to yourself.

After a period of improvement, the taxes of the Tang Dynasty court have increased from 12 million guan to 16 million guan each year. Even though it has increased so much, the tax brought back by Li Xiang Four million dollars is still very precious.

Li Shimin has various ambitions, including some domestic livelihood problems, and he wants to seize the time to solve them, but no matter what problem is solved, it costs money. This year is the same as the 21st century. Basically, nothing can be done with money. As long as Li Xiang can continuously transport money back, then Li Shimin's plans can be implemented and he will not cause trouble to Li Xiang.

Take this incident in the Western Regions as an example. Li You made such a big fuss that he almost caused a war between the Tang Dynasty and the Western Regions. If Li Xiang hadn't settled this matter, the empire would have faced another problem. War, even if you kill Li You a dozen times, will you be able to change everything in the end?

People within the imperial court also used excuses to fan the flames, saying that the Western Region policy was wrong from the beginning. If we had been steady and steady at the beginning and advanced westward step by step, we might not have as much territory as we do now, but it would not be as big as it is now. Many crises.

Especially since there was no harvest, all the gains were on paper. In order to slap these people in the face, Li Xiang had to transport this money back and let them know that the imperial court had gained a lot in the Western Regions, and From now on, some money will have to be shipped back every year, maybe not as much as this time, but it must still be more than two million yuan.

Only in this way can we stop the mouths of these people and let them know that the imperial court has a lot of income in the Western Regions, almost reaching one-eighth of the annual income. Don't underestimate this one percent. If it can continue If it is shipped back, many of Li Shimin's wishes can be realized, and in this way he can gain his support. As for the various officials within the imperial court, Li Shimin can block Li Xiang.

"General Cheng is staying this time. I will bring Su Dingfang back to the capital and go with me to Nanzhao Kingdom. If there is anything that needs to be handed over, please hurry up and let them go down to hand over the hand. General Cheng's temper is a bit hotter, but he is also focused. For me, Datang."

Li Xiang thought for a while and let these people change. Su Dingfang has made a lot of military achievements outside. He should let others take advantage of it...
