Datang: My private money was exposed by Li Shimin

All night, Liu Zheng was counting the gold in the treasury.

He didn't even feel the slightest bit of fatigue, on the contrary, he became more and more energetic.

As the Minister of the Household Department of Datang, it can be considered that during his tenure, he saw with his own eyes the situation where the national treasury was full and Datang was strong.

It can be regarded as the fulfillment of one of my wishes!
of course.

In order to ensure that the matter of gold would not be leaked out, Liu Zheng was directly kept in the palace by Li Shiming.

When the opportunity is right, he will be released. There is no impenetrable wall in the world. Li Shimin will not put all his hopes on this guy just because of a few words.

Liu Zheng, who stayed in the palace, soon understood the emperor's thoughts and knew that he would not be in any danger, so he stayed there with peace of mind.

No one would dare to disturb the leisurely days in the palace!
however.

Liu Zheng's wife is a different story!
When Liu Zheng left that night, no one except himself knew the real purpose of the trip.

The butler only knew that Cheng Yaojin personally brought people here to take away his master in the name of counting his belongings.

But today's treasury knows even people like them, and it is impossible for Liu Zheng to take action in person.

therefore.

Everyone, including Mrs. Liu Zheng, thought that he was dealt with by the emperor himself, just like everyone else in the past.

But all officials who have fallen into this end, no matter what their status is, the final result is the same.

Desperate, she wailed in the mansion, and even began to prepare for Liu Zheng's funeral.

The aristocratic family's eyeliner spread all over Chang'an, so they naturally got the news of Liu Zheng's disappearance soon.

To know.

As early as a few days ago, the emperor personally decreed that the embezzlement of food for the victims of the disaster has been completely over, and no one will be unlucky because of it.

Not long after, they started messing around again.

Although the relationship between Liu Zheng and the aristocratic family is not very close, it makes these people feel that there is an opportunity to take advantage of it.

For a long time, these people have wanted to find an excuse to deal with the emperor, at least not let him continue to dominate the situation like this.

therefore.

The family quickly organized a counterattack...

……

in the hall.

It was still Duan Lun who started the attack first. After all, he was also the censor, so he had sufficient reasons to bring up this matter.

"Your Majesty, as early as a few days ago, His Majesty personally decreed that no one else will be implicated because of the food corruption of the victims!"

"But now there are people missing because His Majesty set up a big prison and arrested people indiscriminately. If this continues, it will be quite detrimental to the court and His Majesty!"

As soon as this remark came out, many people in the court immediately echoed it. This was an attack prepared by the aristocratic family. With so many people speaking at the same time, the power can be imagined.

But what these people didn't expect at all was that Li Shimin didn't seem to care about it at all.

"Recently, the climate has been quite stable, and it's also quite favorable for the planting of crops. This year should be a good year!" Li Shimin didn't answer his words at all, but brought the topic to farming instead.

The people in the family were instantly stunned...

Is this just ignoring them?

"Your Majesty..." Duan Lun wanted to speak up again, but was interrupted by Li Shimin's direct wave.

then.

He brought the topic to the issue of disaster victims that everyone is more concerned about!
"I think you all know very well that although the food donated on behalf of the king this time is a lot, it is not a long-term solution. Although the potatoes have been planted, there are still a few months until the harvest!"

"In order to ensure the safety of the people during this period, I have decided to use the treasury to purchase grain to tide over the difficulties. If you have any surplus in your hands, the imperial court is willing to purchase it at a price that is [-]% higher than the market price!" Li Shimin stretched out his hand with a smile. two fingers.

As soon as the words fell, there was an uproar in the hall!
With its own interests involved, the disappearance of Liu Zheng seemed less important.

Now the emperor has given them something more important!

not to mention.

Liu Zheng's matter was originally an excuse. If the emperor pretended not to know, they actually had nothing to do.

Seeing the reactions of everyone in the hall, especially the shocked expressions on the faces of those from the aristocratic family, Li Shimin felt quite happy in his heart.

"We'll discuss this matter another day, everyone should take this opportunity to think about it!"

After leaving these words, Li Shimin immediately announced the disbandment of the court...

……

Although the morning court had already dispersed, most of the officials stayed at the gate of the palace, unwilling to leave for a long time, and everyone was discussing in low voices.

What Li Shimin said in the hall has completely attracted their attention.

"Master Sun, what do you mean His Majesty? The treasury has long been empty, and it is impossible to have money to buy it!"

"It's not that simple. It's just that the court's food can't support it. The so-called yield of potatoes per mu is a big joke. If there is such a thing from ancient times to the present, why is there a famine?"

"Can't there be no potatoes before?"

"It didn't happen before, but now it can be born? Do you think this is a drama on stage?"

"It's true. Your Majesty will return to reality after all. Since he refuses to bow to those families, it would be a good way to buy food instead!"

"However, His Majesty's words are too exaggerated. Buying food at a price that is [-]% higher than the market price, where does the money come from?"

"You don't know about this, Your Majesty once obtained a mountain of silver in Daiwangfu, which is quite a large sum of money!"

"So His Majesty really has money? Then we have to go back quickly and see if there is any food left at home. We can't let the people in the family control everything!"

After a heated discussion, everyone at the gate of the palace left quickly.

For people like them, now is a very good opportunity.

Not only can you sell a favor to the emperor, but you can also take this opportunity to make a lot of money.

Why not?
In fact.

Most of these people are two-faced, whether they support the family or the emperor, it doesn't make much difference to them.

As long as there are benefits to be gained, these things are not important at all, so they are in such a state now, for fear that the food will be completely controlled by the aristocratic family.

If that time really comes, they will not get any benefits.

only.

Among the people who went back, there are still many people who are quite puzzled. Is it really enough to support His Majesty's handwriting just by relying on that money?
Could there be other hidden secrets in this?
But soon such doubts were suppressed, and they were still more concerned about how much benefit they could get next.

Except for the necessary food, take out as much as possible...
