Rule the Roost in the Tang Dynasty: Eight hundred and eighty-one, no money


Li Dan is now the self-styled Guozijian Jijiu, as well as bachelors of Hongwenguan and Chongwenguan, three literati who are unattainable names, and he is free to seal himself up.

Even, in many cases, especially in the process of the creation of the steam engine, Li Dan even asked for more blanks to seal books from the official department, and then found the Zhongshumen and Li Hong, and let them stay in the blanks. He put his own seal on the letter of gift, and then began to give a lot of gifts to the many craftsmen who developed steam engines in Taiyi City.

Therefore, the number of artisans who are also undergraduates of the Imperial College, Hongwenguan, and Chongwenguan now has no one thousand but eight hundred in Taiyi City, and this year is even on the rise.

But also because of the criticisms and protests of Li Zhi, Wu Mei, and other Confucian sages, in the second half of this year, he slightly controlled the madness of King Xia Yin, but even so, Li Dan still does his own way. Continue to look for his Emperor Brother of the Tang Emperor, tirelessly begging for blank scholars to tell him, always ready to see who is pleasing to the eye and give one.

But then again, even though Li Zhi and Wu Mei, including Guozijian, Hongwenguan, Chongwenguan, and other people opposed, but Li Dan had a Datang emperor behind him, so Datang's other An idle prince Yin Wang Li Dan, just like the Seven Emperor Brother Li Zhe, holds in his hands the power that other people can envy.

If Li Zhe is the number one leader in Datang’s military logistics, then Li Dan is the number one leader in Datang Technology’s research and development. Both brothers have huge powers that are somewhat inexplicable but very affordable to others. They will be jealous of their emperor's brother, who is the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and will weaken their power if anything.

But the fact is that the opposite is true. The Emperor of Datang obviously didn't want to weaken the power in their hands, but instead encouraged the two princes to continue to use the power in their hands to the extreme.

Whether it is Li Zhe or Li Dan, the prince who holds the power of Datang, he does not pay attention to other things, even if someone wants to find them through the back door and want to walk in the official career. For some shortcuts, the two will laugh and say: "Brother emperor has the final say. If I intervene, I am afraid that I will have the same fate as that of Jiling City, so... you are not praising me. Is hurting me."

Even the state governors and officials in various places visit the two princes when they report to Chang'an every year. After all, the door of the prince’s mansion is open to everyone, but the prince’s mouth is never Open to anyone, and never acted as a lobbyist for any official.

The chubby Li Dan has lost a lot of weight in the past two years. After meeting the two imperial sisters who were passing by, Li Dan stepped into the imperial study room of Zichen Palace.

"I saw Old Qi at the door just now, what is he looking for? Brother Huang, let me tell you, don’t listen to him fooling around. The hot air balloon thing will not reach what he wants for a while It’s impossible for him to carry such heavy grains and grass and other things.” Li Dan sat down opposite Li Hong and said before Li Hong could speak, as if he was afraid that Li Hong would speak, let him Speeding up the schedule.

"Then what's the matter with you coming over this time? Two days ago, the father and mother just finished scolding you because of the steam engine. Why did you come to me again?" Li Hong squatted his chin and looked at the maid Li Dan, who carefully studied the teacup beside him, said.

"Do you use this kind of porcelain in your palace now? It's too mediocre. It's not just to prevent me, you took it out to fool me?" Li Dan ignored Li Hong's question and asked instead. Holding that delicate teacup.

"Don’t think about it. Recently, the jailer is about to cry. The speed of their system cannot keep up with the speed of your fall. Can’t you not want me? You find the jailer yourself, what do you want? Just let them do what you want." Li Hong raised his head and twisted his neck. Since the meeting was over today, he has been sitting in the study room of the Zichen Hall. He hasn't moved a step yet, just people come and go. An endless stream of people came to see you.

"That won't work. I will be a prisoner and I will only be responsible for making anything for the emperor brother. I and Lao Qi are princes. Although they are royal family kinsmen, I directly use the things in the palace, which is a bit overstepped." Said.

"I have greeted the general manager eight hundred times. It's okay. I don't hold you accountable. Who dares to hold you accountable?"

"When my father and mother were pursuing me, they didn't see you even once for me, so I'll pick from you." Li Dan stood up and stared straight at the bookcase behind him A porcelain, as if seeing the prey in white, the eyes are about to shine.

Li Hong doesn’t need to look at it. This guy has seen the porcelain in the bookcase behind him. Fortunately, he has let Pei Wanying and Chen Qinghan, who have just left, hidden porcelain that is more precious than the bookcase. Woke up.

"Then what's the matter with you coming over this time? You know I haven't left this study room after I got home this morning." Li Hong said while looking at Li Dan's fat back.

"You are the emperor of my Datang. Naturally, there are a lot of government affairs to deal with every day. It is normal to not leave the imperial study room for most of the day." Li Dan picked up the porcelain pot "politely". He looked carefully and said, "Oh, yes, I came here this time because of the steam engine incident two days ago. Now it seems that I was too anxious. Some technical difficulties were not overcome, so I thought about solving them while running. Instead, you were asked to carry the scapegoat for me in front of my father and mother. So this time I came here to ask you for money. This year's budget has been spent by me."

"Why are you looking for me? Haven't you already greeted the Ministry of Households? Even if the Ministry of Households does not give you, Bai Chun will give it to you?" Li Hong was a little baffled, this little thing is worth it You come to me in person? I don't want to come here to find exquisite and gorgeous porcelain.

"This pot is not bad. I accidentally dropped the pot last time. This took me away. I don’t want those cups. Anyway, I drink tea from the spout. The household has no money. Yes, the budget they made this year has increased by 50% compared to last year, but I spent less than half a year to spend it. I am embarrassed to ask for it from Miss Bai. She is also short of money. Taiyi City’s medicinal food room is messed up. It is estimated that it will cost a lot of money to clean up, so I can only ask you to help me solve it." Compared with other things, Li Dan wants money in front of Li Hong, which seems more natural than other things. The silver he asked for only temporarily existed in Li Hong's place, and now he just came to take away his own part of the silver.

"You ask me for money, where can I get the money for you? I can still have money if the household department has no money? Besides, now the old couple in Xingqing Palace, now they don’t know how to build What is the Hall of Merit that extols their great deeds? They plan to put their statues in for people to worship after a hundred years. Look, this is the memorial sent to me by the messenger yesterday. Open your mouth is ten million taels. I am The emperor, it's not the Royal Bank, where can I get so much money for you?" Li Hong said depressedly.

As the saying goes, I don’t know that firewood, rice, oil, and salt are expensive. I am now the emperor of the Tang Dynasty. I found out that when my father was the emperor and governed by the emperor, there are two special things. Different things.

Now he is probably the poorest emperor since the founding of Datang, even if it was the first emperor Taizong, even if Datang had just established the country at that time, he would be richer than himself, right?

Otherwise, how did the Daming Palace where I live now come from? This was the site that Emperor Taizong Li Shimin chose to build at the time, but the construction was stopped for some reasons, and it has been so deserted for more than ten years.

It wasn't until his rich and powerful Dragon Father became the throne and Taiyi City really started to make money, that he was completely perfected by himself.

Now what kind of palace is going to be built. He feels that Xingqing Palace is not enough for him, so he has to build another one, but he doesn't want to think about how much money he left in the treasury when he left for his son. !

Of course, although there is a lot of money in the full treasury, in the past five years, I have been like a money machine, especially Li Dan and Li Zhe, the two princes who helped him spend money, and six For the foundation of the Tang Dynasty's prosperous bridges and roads, including the replacement of equipment for the Datang Navy, the Central Army, and the four major corps, he himself drew out the treasury at once, and there was no money left.

Now Li Dan comes again to ask for silver, and Dragon Father wants to build a palace. This is a rhythm that will force him to death. If this continues, the empty treasury will definitely be hidden from Dragon Father and Dragon Mother. At that time, once they learned that he was missing, he would be reprimanded as a prodigal by others.

"Then you have no money anymore? You are the emperor of the Tang Dynasty. It stands to reason that you should have a lot of money~ IndoMTL.com~ Li Dan is surprised, the emperor is on this matter. I never tell lies, and I still want money by myself. The emperor never shirks.

Every time I ask for money, I hate it too much to give myself more. That's why I have developed some results for the steam engine in the past five years, but now at this critical moment, there is no money? What should I do?

Two days ago, the two brothers triumphantly invited the father and the queen to the first train station in Chang'an City, so that Daddy Long and Mother Long have a good understanding. This is in the mouth of the emperor, not only can change the big Tang can even change the steam engine of the whole world, showing off behind the father and mother, let Long Father and Long Ma see that after his son becomes the emperor, he will be no worse than Lao Tzu.

But who knows that in the end I dragged my feet here and sent the emperor brother directly to the cusp of the storm. Thinking of Li Dan here, suddenly felt as if he had sensed Li Hong’s secret, so he asked: "Brother Emperor , Two days ago, you were anxious to let your father and mother watch the train. Wasn’t it just to cover up your spending on the national treasury? Are you thinking that once father and mother know that our treasury is out of money, you I plan to use this steam engine to deal with the questions of the father and the queen?"

"But I didn't think that you didn't succeed. You smashed me, don't you know? Do you think I am willing to let Li Zhe stop experimenting with hot air balloons. It's not that I can't afford it now."

"Then...what should I do? If I stop here, what will you do to deal with the father and the queen? The treasury has no money. I am afraid that the father and the queen will soon know about it?"

"So I looked for Bai Chun. It really didn't work, so I borrowed money from the Royal Bank that my mother still controls and the bank that Bai Chun controls." Li Hong had a headache. The emperor himself had to borrow money. That's it!
