The first rebel of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 918 The Prodigal Son of the Empire

"My concubine, what do you think?"

"My concubine thinks, should I ask Min'er first, maybe he has a better way. After all, the amount of money is too large. If I use it all, it will definitely have my Tang Dynasty's influence. If I let him think about it Think, maybe just a little money can handle it!"

Concubine Yang still has the idea of ​​letting Li Yin figure out a way.

Li Shimin did not speak.

He may be thinking about how to deal with it at this time.

But he also has ideas of his own.

The civil and military officials were even more silent.

Finally, Li Shimin made a final decision.

"I decided to send [-] million taels to Yingzhou to build fortifications! The cement and steel bars will be transported from Chang'an! And soldiers will be recruited from near Chang'an!"

This is a decision, some people agree with it, some people oppose it.

But Li Shimin was determined to do this, and no one could convince him.

If the [-] million taels goes down, the court may run out of money.

Sure enough, Dai Zhou stood up.

"Your Majesty, if you allocate [-] million taels, the remaining taels in the treasury may become very small. Please think twice, Your Majesty!"

But Li Shimin asked: "Sheng Tang Group doesn't have a lot of taxes every month?"

It's really hard to answer that.

Yeah, group taxes are a lot of money.

But Li Shimin relies too much on these taxes, which is a dangerous signal.

If one day, Sheng Tang Group's income decreases and investment expands, then he will have no money.Really at that time, what would Li Shimin do:
Dai Zhou said again: "There's nothing wrong with that, but the Chinese New Year is coming, no matter what industry the group is in, it's the off-season. No one comes out for activities during the Chinese New Year! Business is even worse!"

During the Chinese New Year, according to previous experience, it is the period with the least tax revenue.Everyone stays at home, how to spend?

That's why Dai Zhou proposed this.

Li Shimin didn't care.

"As far as I know, that kid will sell a lot before the Chinese New Year, and you actually said it's the off-season!? I don't believe it!"

Others don't know, but Li Shimin knows, because just now he heard what Li Yin is going to do next.

Also asked about oil or something.

From these aspects, he can add tax items.

As long as Li Min mines and sells, he has to pay taxes.

There is no escape.

And what was the party called before the Chinese New Year?

Anyway, he thinks that during the Chinese New Year this year, Li Yin will definitely increase his size and make it bigger.

Therefore, he felt that there was no need to worry about tax matters at all.

Even, Li Yin will drive other industries to follow up.

"His Majesty……"

Li Shimin didn't want to listen to Dai Zhou's persuasion.

"Is the country important, or money? The country is like this, and it doesn't cost money?"

When Li Shimin said this, Dai Zhou was dumbfounded.

Yes, of course the country is important.

The country has been violated, so what is the use of asking for money?

But there must be a better way, right?
Empress Changsun and Concubine Yang were also very surprised.

But Li Shimin's decision was not influenced by the two of them.

No matter what, let the enemy know how powerful it is!Let them know Datang's determination, and hope they will retreat in spite of difficulties!

"Okay, that's it! Dai Zhou, you will handle the money! Fang Xuanling!"

"Yes!"

"Chen is here!"

"Purchasing is up to you to follow up! Cement and other materials must be sent to Yingzhou within three days! Do you know?"

"Yes!"

"Also, send a telegram to Yuchi Jingde. Tell him my decision and reassure him!"

"Yes!"

One after another, the order was passed on.

The entire court immediately moved.

This is where Li Shimin excels.

He is very good at fighting. When he was young, he had already led troops to fight in the north and south.

If the opponent wants to fight, he will not be polite.In his opinion, the current Datang is not as strong as before, and now it is stronger!If there is no money, he can withdraw from the bank shares, there must be a lot of money in there!

But that's killing the chicken and taking the eggs, it's not good!

He can't do that unless he has to!
……

And when he made a decision, some folks started donating money and materials. After all, when the country is in danger, everyone must have their own awareness.

But the news reached Li Yin.

He yelled directly.

"What the hell, the current money shouldn't be spent in this place! Can't he see that those people did it on purpose? Absurd! Really absurd! As long as next spring? I'll let these people know that my Great Tang is inviolable!"

He was very puzzled by Li Shimin's decision.

Why repair work?
In the future, Goguryeo will be owned by the Tang Dynasty. What's the use of building a fortification in the territory?

In the end it was still a waste.

And he knew that Goguryeo did not dare to invade at this time.

Because there will be heavy snow blocking the mountains in the north, which is very unfavorable for them.

The most favorable time is spring.

When spring comes, it's time for them to go out.

At the same time, he also received information that the Japanese kingdom of Goguryeo and others have been secretly planning, but it will take a long time for it to be implemented.

His anger made Zheng Liwan beside him very puzzled.

"Sir, what's the matter?"

"The emperor spends money indiscriminately. It's really a worrying person. It would be great if the money was spent on building people's livelihood. He also mobilized the people to donate money and materials. It's a waste of money. I really don't know. ,What was he thinking about!"

If it was someone else, they wouldn't dare to say that about Li Shimin.

But Li Yin dared to say that.

"Perhaps His Majesty has his own ideas?"

"This way of spending money indiscriminately is called having an idea?"

"Sir, don't be angry, this is something we can't control!"

Zheng Liwan said.

Yes, now Li Shimin has moved, he is the emperor, once a decision is made, someone will act according to his wishes.

There is no possibility of taking it back.

"This guy, if things go on like this, the future of the court will be bad!"

"How to say?"

"There is no money in the national treasury now, and if we spend another [-] million taels, wouldn't it be even more moneyless?"

One hundred million taels?

Zheng Liwan was shocked when she heard this.

At this moment, she wanted to scold, prodigal son.

Defeated country!
One hundred million taels was spent like this.

What a waste of money.

Just now she was speaking for Li Shimin, but now, she doesn't want to speak for Li Shimin anymore.

He even wanted to scold Li Shimin.

If it wasn't because he was the emperor, she might have actually cursed out loud.

"Sir... [-] million!?"

"That's right, forget it, don't mention him, it's boring!"

In the end, Li Yin didn't want to mention it either.

"Do you need me to talk to my adoptive father and ask him to persuade His Majesty?"

"It's useless! He doesn't listen to anyone, he's just too egotistical! Only in the end will he know he's wrong!"

"This……"

Even Cen Wenwen's persuasion was useless?
Zheng Liwan was shocked.

"Okay, don't mention him anymore, by the way, what do you want me for?"

Only then did Li Yin realize that Zheng Liwan had come to find him.
