Datang: My Peerless Talent Has Been Exposed

Chapter 792 The Really Smart Li Chengqian

Zhang Nuo finally agreed. After all, his original purpose was to help Datang, assist Datang to embark on a path of rapid development, and establish a strong civilization on this planet as much as possible.

He can hide his clumsiness in order to let Datang learn more experience, and naturally he will not watch Datang fall into trouble, he is not the kind of rigid and stubborn person.

Therefore, his final answer to Li Shimin was,

"Lao Li, I will be the porter this time. It's okay, but I hope that you and the courtiers can learn from it. It's not every time I can help. Some things even It cannot be resolved by a war at all!"

"Forging iron requires our own hard work. We are constantly plundering and fighting outside. The ultimate goal is for the development of Datang itself. If Datang wants to develop, it only needs three things, population, technology, and economy. Maintain these three things well. With the rapid development of this aspect, there will be no problems in Datang!"

"Let's go out together later, call those officials to meet, and then purchase supplies directly in Pyongyang in the name of the imperial court. You don't need to pay for the time being. The Qin Palace is used as a guarantee. The imperial court can purchase without spending a penny. Enough logistics materials for Lao Cheng and the other two troops!"

"And anyway, I need to be a porter, so the first batch of mined ore, after the first local smelting, I will bring back to refine, and then take the part that belongs to the court first according to the proportion. Come here and pay off the purchase debt this time, what do you think?"

Li Shimin nodded, without the slightest intention of objecting. He knew what Zhang Nuo meant, and this was actually Zhang Nuo trying to avoid suspicion.

Why didn't Zhang Nuo directly purchase in his own name? Zhang Nuo is here to overshadow the sky. Needless to say, he has a good reputation. It works better here than in Datang.

But Zhang Nuo didn't do that, and he can't do it, because this time is a national war, and it's Datang's conquest of Fusang. Zhang Nuo is just the commander of the army, not the king of Qin who led his private soldiers. All he has to do is It's just a war.

Therefore, this money can only be paid by the court. As for the guarantee from the Qin Palace, it is nothing more than a reassurance for all businessmen.

I believe both courtiers and businessmen will understand this point, and it can even be said that many of them have their own properties in Korea, and they are actually Party A and Party B.

Neither the imperial court nor the Qin Palace actually paid much attention to this money. If it were not for some reasons, it would be very easy for both the imperial court and the Qin Palace to take out this little money.

Sure enough, after Li Shimin and Zhang Nuo went out, they summoned the courtiers who had been wandering around Pyongyang for most of the day, and everyone agreed with one voice, and even whispered in private to discuss some business for themselves.

After all, when the army goes out, what they need is not at 01:30. This time, they will stay in Fusang for a long time. Even if the Busan Port is built, they still have to purchase supplies from here and send them there, right?

After this matter was settled, Zhang Nuo didn't care about it, and the rest of the matter would naturally be arranged by the people below. Could it be that he really had to go to the businessmen himself to discuss the failure and give them face.

Zhang Nuo accompanied Li Shimin for two days, let him hang around in Pyongyang for two days, and ate the food of King Qin's Mansion for two days, and then sent them to the airship.

After all, it would be fine if Li Shimin ran away alone, and if such a large group of people ran away, it would be fine for a day or two. After a long time, I am afraid that the court will have to stop operating. You must know that there are several six ministers in it. Without these people making the decision, I don't know who to turn to.

After sending Li Shimin away, Zhang Nuo also took time off and continued to train his little apprentice, the future Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, Li Chengqian.

The first thing I told him was about the stupid things his father did before. Li Shimin almost brought the thriving situation to the edge of a cliff abruptly. Somersault, this kind of lesson has to be understood by Li Chengqian.

Therefore, Zhang Nuo and Li Chengqian slowly talked about the previous development of the court. Not only did they say it verbally, Zhang Nuo also took out some memorials of the court that had been accumulated in Pyongyang City.

This is his little privilege as King of Qin, and it was also imposed on him by Li Shimin, that is, whenever there is any major event in the court, a document will be sent to Lantian City and Pyongyang City.

There are not only the condensed recent major events in the court, but also some summary of the situation in various places in the Tang Dynasty.

Zhang Nuo usually read this stuff as a novel, but now that he wanted to educate Li Chengqian, he had to come with these data. This is called teaching from reality.

Pointing to the financial situation of the previous few months, Zhang Nuo said,

"Chengqian, look, in fact, as early as a few months ago, the financial side was a little out of reach, but, your father didn't pay attention, and the household department didn't remind, after all, the current Datang seems to have a big family and a big business. Yes, I really don't care about this!"

"However, you have to pay attention. It is best to stop this kind of thing as soon as there is a sign. When the problem really comes to light, it will no longer be an ordinary problem!"

"Look at the data yourself, especially in the last few months, what do you think?"

Li Chengqian took over the data in Zhang Nuo's hand and slowly looked at it. It was pitiful to say that, as the crown prince, a future heir to the empire, he had to supervise the country from time to time when Li Shimin was out wandering, but he really didn't have one on weekdays. Access to these government affairs and data through normal channels.

Therefore, after having such an opportunity, he naturally cherished it very much, and at the same time wondered why Datang suddenly failed?

But after all, this child is still smart. After looking at it and silently calculating in his heart, Li Chengqian finally said,

"Uncle Zhang, I read that the fiscal revenue and expenditure have not changed in the past few months, but the problem seems to be that there has been no change. The expenditure has always been much higher than the income, so the originally abundant treasury is slowly drying up. , and this situation still cannot be stopped at once!"

"That's why my father suddenly found out that the treasury was out of money, and some things can't be stopped just by saying they stop, so my father came to see Uncle Zhang when he was in a hurry. That's why the Battle of Fusang happened. Uncle Zhang planned to give Datang Continue your life and get through this difficulty!"

Zhang Nuo didn't speak, just smiled and touched Li Chengqian's little head, damn it, that brat is really smart.

Chapter 793 The role of the system

Half of Li Chengqian's intelligence comes from his parents' genetics. After all, his parents are outstanding people. An outstanding person who can leave his name in history must not be too bad in his genes.

On the other hand, it comes from the teachings of his parents and teachers, especially his mother!

I have to say that Empress Changsun has put a lot of thought into educating her eldest son. Although Li Chengqian is a bit too gentle, at least the three views are very positive and it is hard not to feel good about others.

For the successor of the empire, in fact, the current courtiers still have a good impression of him if they don't consider issues such as position or speculation.

After all, as the future successor of the empire, a benevolent king is much better than a tyrant. Who doesn't want their boss to be easy to talk to?

Besides, Li Yuan founded the country and Li Shimin conquered the world. When it was Li Chengqian's turn, he just had to defend the world. This kind of gentle temperament might not be enough to expand the territory, but it was definitely more than enough to be a successful king.

The most important thing is that the current Li Chengqian has his parents to support him, as well as the support of a teacher and uncle like Zhang Nuo. It can be said that his position as the crown prince is extremely secure.

All he needs is time to grow slowly, and what he lacks most is time.

Zhang Nuo saw that Li Chengqian had directly figured out what was wrong with his father and those courtiers, so he didn't waste any time on it. After all, he was a student back then, and he knew that no student would like a teacher who he had already learned. chatter about knowledge.

So, he turned to talk about other things,

"Chengqian, since you have already found out the mistakes your father and the others made, then think about how you should prevent such mistakes in the future? Don't say you can't make mistakes, anyone can make mistakes, and You will be the emperor in the future, not a petty official, so you can't focus on a certain thing!"

"Then what if the people below make mistakes in the future? Don't you still have to take the blame? After all, Datang belongs to Lao Li's family, right?"

Li Chengqian nodded, agreeing with this point very much. There is no doubt that Datang belongs to his old Li family, but he didn't know how to answer Zhang Nuo's question for a while.

Because this kind of thing is really hard to say, and Zhang Nuo just said, if it is not you, the emperor, who messed up, but the people below made a mistake, then what will you do then?
