Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 883 All Nations Come to DPRK
For the development of a country, sometimes we really have to take a long-term view.

You can't stop doing many things just because you don't have money.

If you have no influence, many things will be difficult to handle.

So many times, some countries just live frugally, and internationally, the money that should be spent must still be spent.

Because this money is spent, it can bring more benefits and benefits to one's own country.

According to what Changsun Wuji said, if Datang spends this sum of money to let all nations come to court, it will be very helpful to the stability of Datang, which can give Datang some time to focus on economic and agricultural development.

Of course, to Changsun Wuji, these are just excuses, but this excuse sounds good, and he thinks it will work.

After Li Shimin heard Changsun Wuji's words, he felt happy again, and he was so happy that he almost nodded his head to express his satisfaction.

At this time, the officials who had previously supported Wan Guo's coming to the DPRK came forward one after another.

"Your Majesty, what Master Changsun said is right. The coming of all nations to court will benefit our Tang Dynasty very far-reaching. It must be done."

"That's right, that's right, only tens of thousands of people come to court from all nations. Can't we afford the expenses that such a small number of people need in our Tang Dynasty?"

"That's right, that's right, Your Majesty, if we want our Tang Dynasty to be stable for a long time, we must deter them. If they don't come, how can we deter them?"

"So, Master Changsun is right..."

After these people stood up, they quickly formed an aura in the hall, and gradually seemed to dominate.

Seeing this situation, Li Shimin became more and more satisfied.

"It looks like this is going to happen."

Li Shimin thought to himself, but at this moment, Wei Zheng and the others stood up again.

"Your Majesty, no, people's livelihood is the most important thing. If the people are displaced, then even if you have face, what's the use?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, if this happens, many people will complain. Please think twice, Your Majesty, and don't listen to the elder grandson's words."

"That's right, that's right, Lord Changsun doesn't know the suffering of the people, that's why he's like this..."

After Wei Zheng retorted, Changsun Wuji and other officials immediately followed suit.

The whole hall suddenly became noisy and noisy.

Li Shimin watched the courtiers quarreling like this, and the quarreling ended, his face gradually became ugly again.

Originally, he thought that with the eldest grandson Wuji, this matter should be almost done, who knows that people like Wei Zheng are still relentless, it is really annoying.

And just when Li Shimin was thinking this way, he lowered his head and saw that Qin Tian in front of him was just standing calmly, showing a slight smile from time to time, as if he didn't care about the affairs of the court at all.

This made Li Shimin angry.

He glanced at Qin Tian and said, "Qin Aiqing, what do you think about this matter?"

When Li Shimin asked Qin Tian, ​​the whole hall suddenly fell silent, because everyone knew very well that Qin Tian's thoughts and opinions sometimes could play a decisive role.

Everyone cast their gazes over, but Qin Tian secretly complained in his heart.

This matter is not easy to handle. He didn't want to get involved at first. As a bystander, watching other people quarreling and arguing like this seems quite interesting.

Of course, the most important thing was that Qin Tian didn't think it was a big deal.

The Tang Dynasty did not have the kingdoms of all nations, and it still lived as it was, and there would still be people who would not have enough to eat and clothing, so deciding how the people lived had nothing to do with the dynasty of the kingdoms of all nations, but had something to do with the development of the Tang Dynasty and the attitude of the emperor. It has something to do with the achievements and abilities of officials from all over the Tang Dynasty.

It is true that all nations have come to court, and it will not affect the wealth of Datang.

To be honest, in Qin Tian's view, the coming of all nations to court is not a matter at all, regardless of the key.

He has two choices, the first is to cater to Li Shimin, and the second is to cater to Wei Zheng and his ilk, and if he caters to Wei Zheng and his like, his reputation among the common people will definitely be better.

Just like the two factions of Changsun Wuji and Wei Zheng in the court today, Changsun Wuji caters to Li Shimin, and Wei Zheng does it for the reputation of the people.

It's not a good choice.

Everyone was still looking at Qin Tian, ​​Qin Tian hesitated for a moment, and said: "Your Majesty, I think that if you want to do something about Wan Guo coming to court, you can still do it."

Hearing Qin Tian's words, Li Shimin heaved a sigh of relief. If Qin Tian supported it, then this matter would most likely be possible.

However, after Qin Tian finished speaking, the expressions of Wei Zheng and the others changed immediately.

"Master Qin, what you said is really easy, what do you mean you can do it if you want, and it doesn't cost money?"

"That is, there are so many countries and vassal princes, more than 1 people. We are responsible for their food and housing. Who will pay for so much money?"

"That is, so much money is spent on them, it is better to spend on the common people."

"So you, Qin Tian, ​​are such a person. I always thought you loved the people like a son..."

People like Wei Zheng are not trying to piss people off, they can make people say they doubt life, but now when they piss off Qin Tian like this, it seems that they want to wipe out all Qin Tian's previous achievements.

It was as if Qin Tian was a scumbag right now, even more scumbag than a scumbag.

Wei Zheng and the others were like a river, spitting stars flying around, Qin Tian stood in front, but just smiled lightly, did not pay attention to these people, but continued to say to Li Shimin: "My lord, in the first year of Zhenguan, my Tang Dynasty and the Turks signed the Weishui alliance. , the surrounding countries have a lot of contempt for my Tang Dynasty. Now that my Tang Dynasty has wiped out the Turks, shouldn't I show my national prestige and let them know that my Tang Dynasty is powerful? If I don't show it, my Tang Dynasty will be under their control. In my eyes, it is still the Tang Dynasty that signed the Weishui alliance with the Turks back then, do you want to see this situation?"

Qin Tian's words were deafening, and Wei Zheng and others were stunned for a moment.

The face of a country is sometimes greater than the sky.

It is indeed important to pay attention to people's livelihood, but as a country, sometimes it has to make trade-offs.

Otherwise, this country will be bullied.

The hall fell silent, Qin Tian continued to say: "Many people say that it is better to use this money to pay attention to the common people and make their life easier. It is not a business that costs money, but on the contrary, it is a business that makes money, which is very beneficial to the economic development of my Datang."

Hearing what Qin Tian said, Li Shimin became more and more happy, so he asked: "Oh, it's a profitable business, what's the explanation?"

"My lord, all nations come to court. They are all human beings. After people come, don't they spend money to consume? What's more, my Tang Dynasty is so rich and there are many commodities. After they see it, don't they want to buy it? , as long as they buy it, they can bring income to the people of my Great Tang, and after they return to China, they will definitely strengthen their trade with my Great Tang, so the money will come right away?"
