Datang: Let you supervise the country and become an emperor through the ages

Chapter 248 Ask Your Majesty to Return the Money to the Treasury
"Actually, it's not a big deal, but Gu thinks that Silla, as the future province of the Tang Dynasty, should strengthen close cooperation with the Central Plains." Li Fu said solemnly: "So I hope that my special products of the Tang Dynasty, such as Gu's Zuo Materials, exported to Silla."

"I don't need money, but in exchange, if you hardworking people of Silla want to do things for me, of course you won't let you do things for nothing, and you will be paid a certain amount."

Paid trade!This is what Li Fu thought of, the most deceptive rhetoric.

Like Li Shimin's, Chiguoguo's slave trade is really ugly. If he does the same, it will have an impact on his reputation and image.

Even if Li Fu doesn't care about those false names, he can avoid some troubles because of this, so why not do it? What's more, for Li Fu, he can spend the smallest price and seek the greatest benefit, and let people remember your Well, this is in line with his personality!

Therefore, in Li Fu's plan, seasonings were used to open the door to Silla, and the seasonings were exported to the people of Silla in exchange for allowing Silla people to work in Central Plains.

Of course, as a defeated country, the wages of Silla people and the wages of Datang people cannot be treated equally, but they are definitely many times better than the slaves in Datang today.

In short, it seems to be for the sake of Silla, but in fact it is serving Li Fu, and at the same time, it makes the people of Silla think of their own good, thinking that they are doing good things for Silla.

Just like Princess Huayan now, after thinking about it for a long time, she really thinks that Li Fu is doing good things for Silla, and she is completely Silla's current savior.

However, she still felt something was wrong in her heart, but she couldn't tell.

At this time, on the other side, Fang Xuanling was in Shangshu Province, looking at the account book of the household department in front of him, muttering, "What's the matter? Why has Li Daozong frequently entered and exited the treasury and internal treasury recently, not taking money, but sending money in? Where did he get so much money?"

Xiao Yu also looked suspicious, "That's right, the Ministry of Household Affairs said that Li Daozong transported money in cart by cart, saying that it was for His Majesty, but where did he get so much money?"

Just when the two princes were wondering where Li Daozong got so much money, Changsun Wuji walked over quickly.

"You two princes, there is no need to guess. The King of Jiangxia actually followed His Majesty and started the slave trade. All his money was obtained from the slaves of Goguryeo, Silla and Baekje."

After all, Changsun Wuji was still well-informed, so he quickly found out about Li Daozong's tricks from the clues in Chang'an City, so he knew that Li Er was leading the slave trade behind the scenes.

"Slave? Someone is buying and selling prisoners?" Fang Xuanling and Xiao Yu looked surprised.

Afterwards, Changsun Wuji introduced to the two princes that Li Erxuan encouraged Li Daozong to do the slave trade together.

"My God, it turns out that His Majesty's purpose is actually this. No wonder His Majesty insists on conquering Silla and Baekje!"

"It's a lie to expand the borders and lands. The real purpose is to engage in the slave trade. No wonder His Majesty said that as long as you conquer Silla and Baekje, you can pay back the money from the Ministry of Accounts. All the money is on this!"

Fang Xuanling and Xiao Yu reacted after hearing Changsun Wuji's words, but they didn't care about Li Shimin's actions.

After all, it is in the interests of Datang. As for harming the interests of countries such as Silla and Baekje, they don't care at all. They are all countries that were destroyed by Datang. Those people have become the spoils of Datang. How to deal with them, Li Shi People have the right to decide.

But Changsun Wuji was very upset because of this, because he has always been proud of being the emperor's close ministers.

Moreover, he is the emperor's brother-in-law and the prince's father-in-law. As a result, His Majesty is only looking for Li Daozong instead of him for such a good money-making business. Obviously, he should be regarded as an outsider, and let him lose a good opportunity to make money in vain!
Therefore, Changsun Yin moved his mind. If he can't get it, others can't get it so easily, even if the other party is Li Shimin!

"Oh! You two adults don't know something!" Changsun Wuji sighed, "Your Majesty asked Duke Wei to bring back nearly 20 slaves from Silla and other three kingdoms, and now he has earned more than seventy-eight billion for His Majesty." money!"

"What?" Fang Xuanling and Xiao Yu suddenly lost their composure and almost lost their breath.

We must know that the annual tax of the Tang State treasury is only one billion yuan at the top of the sky, but His Majesty is only a slave trade, and he has earned so much in just one month, almost catching up with the national treasury's ten-year income. It's also horrible.

After Fang Xuanling and Xiao Yu looked at each other, they couldn't help swallowing a mouthful of saliva.

"Your Majesty's money-making ability and speed are beyond our imagination. How did he come up with it?"

"In this way, His Majesty's current treasury has at least 70 billion yuan lying in it. What does he need so much money for?"

"Yeah, so much money is rusted in the inner treasury, it's better to put it in the treasury, how can your majesty do this!"

As we all know, the internal treasury is privately owned by Li Shimin, and it is money that the court cannot use.

The imperial court can use only the money from the national treasury, so Fang Xuanling and Xiao Yu, knowing that Li Shimin is so rich now, are suddenly moved, and this is exactly the purpose of Changsun Wuji.

Since Li Shimin doesn't take him to make money, let's spit out the money. After all, the money is put in his internal treasury, and no one from the three provinces and six ministries can use Li Shimin's money.

But if the money is in the treasury, that's another matter. This is also the purpose of Changsun Wuji's visit today.

"The two princes should know." Changsun Wuji said in a low voice, "Your Majesty has always wanted to repair a garden for himself, but suffered from having no money. Now that he has money, you said he might spend the money he put in his pocket and spend it again." come out?"

"Then we can't put so much money in the treasury!" Fang Xuanling's eyes widened, "When we attacked Goguryeo and Silla, the treasury spent a lot of money on military expenses. Your Majesty must come up with this money."

"Yes, other than that, the rewards for the soldiers and the money spent on all aspects of this war should be made by His Majesty, not the treasury!" Xiao Yu also echoed: "The treasury can no longer pay the money. .”

"Besides, the Tang Dynasty is your Majesty's country, and the national treasury is also your Majesty's. If your Majesty keeps so much money, why not put it in the national treasury and put it all in the inner treasury? What's the matter? Could it be that the Tang Dynasty is his? Don’t worry about it anymore?”

When Changsun Wuji heard this, he knew in his heart that the calculation had been achieved, and he cupped his hands with a smile, "What the two princes said is true, so why not, I will go to the palace to face the saint right now, make a powerful statement, and let your majesty return the money to the treasury... "
