"I thought it would be better for me to ask Min'er first. Maybe he has a better way. After all, the amount of money is too large. If it is all used, it will definitely have the influence of Datang. If I let him think about it,
Thinking, maybe it can be handled with just a little money!"
Concubine Yang still had the idea of letting Li Min find a solution.
Li Shimin stopped talking.
He may be thinking about how to deal with it at this time.
But he also has his own ideas.
The civil and military officials were even more silent.
Finally, Li Shimin made the decision.
"I have decided to decentralize 100 million taels to build fortifications in Yingzhou! Cement, steel bars, etc. will be shipped from Chang'an! We will also recruit soldiers from near Chang'an to go on an expedition!"
Once this decision is made, some people agree and some are against it.
But Li Shimin was determined to do this, and no one could convince him.
If it goes down to 100 million taels, the imperial court will probably run out of money.
As expected, Dai Zhou stood up.
"Your Majesty, if you allocate 100 million taels, the remaining silver taels in the treasury may become very small. Your Majesty, please think twice!"
Li Shimin asked: "Don't Shengtang Group's monthly taxes be a lot?"
Once these words came out, it was really hard to reply.
Yes, the group's taxes are a lot of money.
But Li Shimin relies too much on these taxes, which is a dangerous signal.
If one day, the income of Shengtang Group decreases and the investment expands, then he will have no money. At that time, what will Li Shimin do:
Dai Zhou added: "That's right, but the Chinese New Year is coming next. No matter which industry of the group, it is the off-season. No one comes out for activities during the New Year days! Business is even worse!"
According to previous experience, the Chinese New Year period is the period when taxes are the lowest. How can we spend money when everyone stays at home?
That's why Dai Zhou suggested this.
Li Shimin didn't take it seriously.
"As far as I know, that guy will still sell a lot of sales before the Chinese New Year. You actually said it's the off-season!? I don't believe it!"
Others didn't know it, but Li Shimin knew it, because just now he heard what Li Min was going to do next.
I also asked about oil and so on.
From these aspects, he can add more tax items.
As long as Li Min mines and sells it, he has to pay taxes.
There is no escaping this.
And what’s the party called before the New Year?
Anyway, he thinks that during the Chinese New Year this year, Li Min will definitely expand and expand.
Therefore, he felt that there was no need to worry about tax matters at all.
In fact, Li Min will also lead other industries to follow suit.
"His Majesty……"
Li Shimin didn't want to listen to Dai Zhou's advice anymore.
"Is the country more important, or is the money more important? The country is like this, why don't we spend money?"
When Li Shimin said this, Dai Zhou was speechless.
Yes, of course the country is important.
The country has been invaded, so what's the use of asking for money?
But there must be a better way, right?
Empress Changsun and Concubine Yang were also very surprised.
But the two of them had no influence on Li Shimin's decision.
No matter what, let the enemy know how powerful it is first! Let them know Datang's determination, and hope they will retreat despite the difficulties!
"Okay, that's it! Dai Zhou, you will handle the payment! Fang Xuanling!"
"yes!"
"I'm here!"
"It's up to you to follow up on the procurement matters! Cement and other materials must be sent to Yingzhou within three days! Do you understand?"
"yes!"
"Also, send a telegram to Yuchi Jingde. Tell him my decision and reassure him!"
"yes!"
Order after order was passed on.
The entire court immediately started to move.
This is where Li Shimin excels.
He was very good at fighting. When he was a boy, he had already led troops to fight in the north and south.
If the other party wants to fight, he won't be polite. In his opinion, Datang is no longer more powerful than before! If he has no money, he can withdraw from the bank shares, and there must be a lot of money there!
But that is killing the goose to retrieve the egg, which is of no benefit!
He can't do that unless he has to!
…
And when he made his decision, some people actually started to donate money and materials. After all, when the country is in crisis, everyone must have their own consciousness.
But the news reached Li Min.
But he just yelled.
"What the hell, the money now shouldn't be spent on this place! Can't he see that those people are doing this on purpose? Ridiculous! Really ridiculous! As long as next spring? I will let these people know that my country is inviolable!"
He was very puzzled by Li Shimin's decision.
Why build fortifications?
In the future, Goguryeo will be owned by the Tang Dynasty. What is the use of building fortifications within the territory?
In the end it was still desolate.
And he knew that Goguryeo did not dare to invade at this time.
Because there will be heavy snow in the north that will close the mountains, it will be very unfavorable for them.
The most favorable time is spring.
When spring arrives, it's time for them to go out.
At the same time, he also received information that the Japanese and Goguryeo countries had been secretly planning, but it would take a long time to actually implement it.
His anger made Zheng Liwan next to him very puzzled.
"Sir, what's wrong?"
"The emperor spends money indiscriminately. He is really a troublesome person. If the money is spent on improving people's livelihood, how wonderful it would be. He also mobilizes the people to donate money and materials. It is such a waste of money. I really don't know.
,What was he thinking about!"
If it were anyone else, they would definitely not dare to say that about Li Shimin.
But Li Min dared to say this.
"Perhaps Your Majesty has his own ideas?"
"This kind of random way of spending money is thoughtful?"
"Sir, don't be angry, this is something we have no control over!"
Zheng Liwan said.
Yes, now Li Shimin has taken action. He is the emperor. Once he makes a decision, someone will do it according to his wishes.
There is no possibility of taking it back.
"This guy, if this continues, it will not be good for the court in the future!"
"How to say?"
"There is little money in the treasury now. If we spend another 100 million taels, wouldn't it mean we have even less money?"
One hundred million taels?
Zheng Liwan was shocked when she heard this.
At this moment, she almost wanted to yell, "You are a prodigal son."
What a defeated country!
One hundred million taels were spent like this.
It's really a waste of money.
She was speaking for Li Shimin just now, but now, she doesn't want to speak for Li Shimin anymore.
I even wanted to scold Li Shimin.
If it weren't for the fact that he was the emperor, she might have actually cursed.
"Sir...100 million!?"
"That's right, forget it, don't mention him anymore, it's boring!"
In the end, Li Min didn't want to mention it anymore.
"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 self-centered! He won't realize he was wrong until the end!"
"this……"
Didn’t even Cen Wenwen’s advice work?
Zheng Liwan was shocked.
"Okay, let's not mention him anymore. By the way, why are you looking for me?"
Only then did Li Min realize that Zheng Liwan was here to find him.
