Chapter 1598 Are you teaching me how to do things?

"Seventh Prince, what are you doing?"
Dai Zhou asked again.
Li Yun put a piece of paper on his desk.
After going back and forth, he and Dai Zhou had become very familiar with each other.
"I want you to transfer some money from the Ministry of Household Affairs for the Ministry of Science and Technology to use! This is an application!"
Dai Zhou took the paper and took a look.
It was a big surprise.
Thirty million taels a year, that's not a small amount.
Is this going to happen this time? The Ministry of Science and Technology is really a costly existence!
He then said: "Last time was yesterday, didn't the Seventh Prince just withdraw a sum of money? Why do you want to do it again now..."
I did get money quite frequently this time. At times like this, I would inevitably ask more questions.
"This is my father's wish. Just pay it and don't talk so much nonsense."
"Seventh Prince, forgive me! As the Minister of Household Affairs, I should do these things. I also need to ask questions about some money!"
Dai Zhou can be regarded as conscientious in his duties.
But Li Yun was unhappy.
Why should you care about me?
I have His Majesty's jade seal in my hand, you can just give me the money.
"Just take the money directly, why is there all this nonsense! This thing is not fake!"
Li Yun said very unhappy.
"Seventh Prince..."
Dai Zhou knew this and probably couldn't refuse.
He thought to himself that he had to meet Li Shimin and ask him clearly.
You know, the imperial court now spends too much money, and it is short of half the year's tax revenue from the Shengtang Group.
Life in the imperial court is very tight now.
If we continue to spend money like this, it will not be a good thing for everyone. It may also affect everyone's salary income.
"Hurry up! I still have things to deal with! The Ministry of Science and Technology is waiting for this money!"
"Seventh Prince, wait a moment. This is a lot of money. I have to transfer it. I won't be able to come in a short time. You go to the Ministry of Science and Technology first. After the money arrives, how about I have someone send it to you?"
Li Yun didn't think much about it.
"Well, you have to hurry up! Otherwise if something goes wrong, you will be the one to blame!"
"No, no, no! Please rest assured, Seventh Prince!"
Dai Zhou said this.
"Okay, let's go!"
Finally, Li Yun left here.
And Dai Zhou murmured: "This money is not spent like this! In just a short time, the Ministry of Science and Technology alone has spent 80 million taels! And the trend has not stopped! Did His Majesty really agree?
?”
He sighed. He was confused again.
This puzzled him very much.
Where did Li Yun spend his money?
Why did Li Shimin protect him and give him so much money?
There are still many people in the Tang Dynasty who do not have enough to eat...
When he thought about this, the more he thought about it, the more wrong he became.
You have to talk to Li Shimin face to face.
So, he went out to the palace.
A eunuch came to announce that he had entered the palace.
"Your Majesty! Your Highness the Queen!" Dai Zhou saluted Li Shimin and Queen Changsun.
"It's Dai Zhou, come on, come on, I have something I want to talk to you about!"
Li Shimin seemed to be in great spirits.
At this time, Dai Zhou felt something strange.
Could it be that Li Yun just came to see Li Shimin?
Did you say anything to Li Shimin?
So what kind of magic power does Li Yun have?
Why can Li Shimin be so happy after spending money?
"Your Majesty, I have come to see you for something?"
Queen Changsun then stood up.
"Since Dai Zhou has something to do, I'll leave and rest first!"
She also ran for a day and was a little tired.
"That's fine, Queen, just go and rest!"
"Then I'll take my leave first!"
Queen Changsun then withdrew.
Li Shimin looked at Dai Zhou.
"What's wrong? Tell me!"
"Your Majesty, look at this!"
Dai Zhou then handed Li Yun the paper he had just written to him.
"What's wrong with this?"
Li Shimin asked: Why did you show this to yourself?
"Is this your Majesty's order?"
"I just approved it. Is there anything wrong with it?"
Li Shimin asked back.
"There is nothing wrong, but these thirty million taels are not a small amount! How could your Majesty approve it so quickly?"
Dai Zhou said quite excitedly.
Li Shimin didn't understand why he was so excited.
"What did I do wrong? Are you questioning me?"
he asked back.
"No, no, no! Your Majesty, does he know how much money the Ministry of Science and Technology has spent in recent days?"
Dai Zhou asked this.
"How much did it cost? Tell me!"
Li Shimin asked back.
This shows one thing, that is, he does not know how much it cost.
He only knew that Li Yun had been coming to him asking for money in the past few days, and every time it was a lot.
"Eighty million taels!"
Dai Zhou's voice became extremely loud.
"Eighty million taels?"
"Yes, and the number is still increasing. The Seventh Prince will approve the large amounts to His Majesty, while some small amounts will be paid directly from the Ministry of Household Affairs! These small amounts of silver will add up to a huge sum.
A sum of money!"
Li Shimin was a little unhappy.
"What? Are you teaching me how to do something?"
"No, no, your Majesty, I don't think so!"
Dai Zhou then lowered his volume a little.
"Then do you think I spend money lavishly?"
"Your Majesty, what I want to say is that there are still many places in the Tang Dynasty that need money. If you are so dedicated to the Ministry of Science and Technology, what should you do if other places need money? All this money has been deducted from the Ministry of Science and Technology.
More money means less money elsewhere, you know?”
"This matter is your household department's business! How to arrange it is your business, why did it come to me?"
"Your Majesty, this matter is of great importance! Your Majesty, please take back the list of talents! Or reduce it!"
Dai Zhou said.
"I have already issued the decree, and there is no possibility of taking it back!"
Li Shimin said.
You have no joke.
Everything that has been decided is settled.
I won't change it again.
And if you don’t buy it now, it will only become more expensive in the future! Li Shimin is a smart man and knows this! But some people don’t know!
Dai Zhou sighed.
"Your Majesty, please, next time when you make a decision about the Ministry of Science and Technology, can you please bring me with you? Let me also participate?"
"You want to influence my decision?" Li Shimin became even more unhappy! What is the difference between this and teaching yourself to do things?
"No, no, no, Your Majesty, the treasury is not very full at present! It is not appropriate to spend too much money now! I am just providing some small suggestions!"
He said somewhat humbly.
"Okay, I understand, please step back!"
Li Shimin didn't want to talk too much to him.
So, I was anxious to end the conversation.
Dai Zhou had no solution and had to quit.
"Yes! Your Majesty!"
Then Dai Zhou withdrew from the palace.
Li Shimin fell into silence.
"Does it mean that my decision is wrong? No way! I am doing it for the future of Datang, so it cannot be wrong!"
At this time, Li Shimin already had some regrets.
But now it's too late to regret.
After paying so much money, it cannot be wasted!
Whatever you say, you have to create something.
I was afraid that Li Yun would get something for him again, which would be bad.
It seems that I can only spend money with Li Yun in the future.
