The conversation came to an abrupt end, and everyone present looked unhappy.

Except for His Majesty, everyone has received the salary from Zhang Yang, and it is difficult to refute it for a while.

Li Shimin clicked his tongue and said: "Do you want to lend troops to Yi Nan Khan?"

Zhang Yang said: "Of course that won't work either."

"This won't work, that won't work either! What do you want me to do?" Li Shimin's words were filled with anger. He had endured this kid for a long time.

Fang Xuanling smoothed things over and said, "I dare to ask Shilang Zhang if the court can pay a sum of money in advance."

Everyone looked at me eagerly. The current environment in the court was such that money was needed everywhere.

Zhang Yang said worriedly: "After I go back, I will take a look at the accounts and see if I can squeeze out some money."

Everyone present except Li Shimin smiled, but the smile was a little forced.

A plan for the future of the Uighurs had to be shelved due to the cost difficulties between the DPRK and China.

After everyone left, Li Shimin stood in the Hanfeng Palace with anger in his heart, "He was the one who insisted on setting up the imperial examination, he was the one who started the official school, and he was the one who built the Jiayuguan Pass in the Hexi Corridor."

The prince stood aside and faced the angry Majesty, not daring to say a word.

Li Shimin pointed at the people who had walked away outside the hall and said angrily: "If I hadn't been for the great cause of Qianqiu! Would I have no money? He is the one who wants to do great things, and he is the one who tells me that I have no money now!"

During the conversation, His Majesty's face didn't look too good.

The prince whispered: "The queen asked people to plant some autumn chrysanthemums behind the Li Zheng Palace. Now is the time to enjoy the flowers. Would you like to go to enjoy the flowers and relax?"

Li Shimin waved his sleeves and sat down again, "I still want to review the memorial."

The prince whispered: "Old slave, let me get ready first."

"Um."

Seeing that His Majesty nodded in response, the prince gave a few instructions to the little eunuch beside him, and then someone left to make arrangements.

It was cool in autumn, so Zhang Yang walked to the door of Shangshu Province and sneezed.

After handing over the key here to His Highness King Jin, the arrangements here were handed over to the children.

"Brother-in-law!" Li Zhi came quickly, "This year's tax memorials from various places have been sorted out."

Zhang Yang walked towards the main hall, "Have everyone from all over the country arrived?"

Li Zhi followed, "We just arrived two days ago. The Ministry of Revenue has already recorded it. We just need to file it."

"His Royal Highness, Prince Jin, is considerate and considerate. Please continue to do so."

Li Zhi had a fighting spirit on his face, "I will definitely keep my brother-in-law's teachings in mind."

Li Lizhi and Dongyang also prepared the accounts in front of them. A huge form hung on it, with the taxes paid by various places written on it.

"Brother-in-law, the total is 23.5 million dan, which is 5 million dan more than last year."

Five million stones of grain is not a small amount.

The climate in the Central Plains has begun to get warmer in these years, and the Tang Dynasty will have this rainy and warm climate in the next few decades.

This also caused the grain reserves of the Tang Dynasty to reach unprecedented heights decades later. The peak period of grain reserves since the Han Dynasty also created the foundation of the prosperous Tang Dynasty.

God was in good hands, and food was the first priority for the people. The Tang Dynasty survived the most difficult years in the early years of the Tang Dynasty. Then, taking advantage of the favorable weather, it aimed to develop and become stronger.

Only if the Tang Dynasty becomes stronger can Lishan become richer.

Li Lizhi whispered: "Are all these grains going to be sold?"

There are many things that others don't know, but this girl still knows them. She stayed with her imperial sister in Lishan.

Zhang Yang sat down cross-legged, picked up some files and looked at them, "We only sell old grain, and we need to have our own grain reserves."

Taking the tea brought by Li Zhi, Zhang Yang frowned and looked at the file, "The taxes from Lishan should be delivered soon. Please go to the Ministry of Household Affairs and wait, Prince Jin."

"Understood."

"Wait a minute." Zhang Yang took out a piece of paper from his arms, "As soon as the money arrives, let the Ministry of Revenue arrange for people to send it to the Hexi Corridor for the construction of Jiayuguan in the coming year. The money sent there cannot be cut off.

"

"Here."

Li Zhi answered in a decent manner.

Li Lizhi was worried that he could not handle the matter well, so she also left.

Zhang Yang also looked at the tax accounts of various places. He was disgusted with this streamlined accounting method and wanted to scold his mother in his heart.

When I looked up, I saw only the well-behaved Princess Dongyang in front of me.

"Princess Dongyang, can you keep accounts?"

Dongyang bowed slightly and replied in a low voice: "I learned from Sister Huang how to record Lishan's accounts."

Handing the file in his hand to her, Zhang Yang instructed: "Do the accounts here again, using our Lishan accounting method."

The twelve-year-old girl in front of her looked like she was in a state of confusion.

Zhang Yang added: "You do the front half, and I'll do the back half."

"Yes." Dongyang nodded in agreement, then took the file and started writing.

The workload piled up was huge. Zhang Yang put away his sleeves and started doing the accounts. He was busy here and had to take it home for his wife to help.

In terms of accounting, the daughter-in-law who is in charge of Lishan's economic power is very good at it.

Li Shimin was also thinking about the taxes sent by Lishan. Lishan's taxes had always been a large income for the court.

With this money, there is no need to worry about running out of money to send troops.

"Go and see if the taxes from Lishan have arrived."

"Here." The little eunuch hurriedly left after hearing this.

Half an hour later, the little eunuch who left hurriedly came back, "Your Majesty, this is a memorial from the Ministry of Revenue. Everything has been arranged."

"Well, how much is the tax from Lishan?"

"There are 8,000 guan, and they have all been recorded. The Ministry of Revenue has also checked them, and there are no errors."

Zhang Yang controls the money expenditures of the government, but the Ministry of Revenue will also keep an eye on the movement of tax money, so he is very relieved about this.

Li Shimin nodded pertinently, "I didn't expect it to be as big as eight thousand strings. Bring it to me to see."

Seeing that the little eunuch was still standing there, Li Shimin felt a little bad in his heart, and Li Shimin said in a deep voice: "What's wrong?"

"Back to Your Majesty, after the money and household department checked, they were sent to the Hexi Corridor by Zhang Shilang of Shangshu Province. They are already on the way now."

Li Shimin stood up and shouted, "What did you say!"

The little eunuch knelt down in horror, "It was... it was arranged by Princess Changle and His Highness Prince Jin, with the documents from Shilang Zhang, and the seal will not be false."

Li Shimin gritted his teeth and kicked over the desk in front of him, shouting angrily: "Eight thousand strings!"

"Yes...it's eight thousand strings!" The little eunuch kept kowtowing, "Your Majesty, please calm down."

Li Shimin suddenly drew his sword and stood up, "Where is Zhang Yang? Where is my eight thousand swords!"

In order to live a good life based on this tax, and to send troops to the Uighurs based on this tax, he could just give the order and send these eight thousand strings away.

"I have been waiting for so many days, thinking about it with all my heart! In the end I didn't even look at it, how dare he!"

Li Shimin drew his sword, looked around, and quickly walked out of Hanfeng Hall.

In the end, Khan stood in front of the Shangshu Province and resisted the urge to rush in and chop Zhang Yang.

He has money in his hand, and he still needs to be asked to arrange money for the government.

All civil and military officials in the dynasty thought of his kindness.

This guy is still useful and valuable.

I just waved here three or two times and swallowed my breath.

Li Lizhi had just returned with Li Zhi, and when she saw her father standing here holding a sword, she asked curiously: "Why is my father holding a sword?"

Seeing the two children, Li Shimin's face softened, "I have nothing to do, so I came to practice my sword."

Li Zhi raised his head, "I thought my father was going to kill my brother-in-law."

"Hahaha……"

Li Shimin smiled strangely, "Father will not kill him."

The two siblings walked back to Shangshu Province.

After a while, Zhang Yang came out with a bundle of files and saw the emperor sitting in front of the door, wiping his sword.

"Your Majesty, this is..."

Li Shimin grinned and said, "Is my sword sharp?"

Zhang Yang folded his hands and said, "This sword looks really good."

"When my father gave this sword to me, I never let it be unsheathed again."
