Chapter 41 Li Er comes to visit(1/2)
The young master is busy.
With the size of the Shaofu, the gift of chickens and ducks is naturally much more efficient than Li Ming's. Thousands of chickens and ducks are scattered every day, and the people in Guanzhong are undoubtedly caught up in the carnival.
Just compared to the ecstasy of the people.
At this time, Li Er was not so happy.
With the new year, the arrival of Zhenguan is announced.
He is ready to flex his muscles and shape his country.
But soon, a very fatal problem appeared on him.
"No money!"
That's right, "no money".
At the end of the Sui Dynasty, there was great chaos and the reputation declined.
Although his cheap father forced monks to return to secular life and participate in labor, and even distributed temple fields to farmers and melted Buddha statues to make coins, these measures greatly reduced the burden on the people and increased the revenue of the treasury. However, in the late Sui Dynasty,
The chaos was so severe that even after all these years of development, it still has not been able to fully recover.
Today, Datang’s annual treasury revenue is less than 10 million yuan.
Such a small amount of money is not only needed to support the army, but also to restore people's livelihood and provide salaries to officials.
It’s simply not enough.
It is basically impossible to withdraw some money from it.
"Money!"
"Mr. Guanyin, I didn't expect that as the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, I would still be short of money."
In the dormitory, Li Shimin rubbed his forehead and spoke with a wry smile.
When he was the king of Qin, he was never short of money due to Li Yuan's constant rewards.
Now that he has become emperor and is short of money, Li Shimin only finds it funny.
And behind him.
Queen Changsun rubbed his forehead gently.
The words are spoken softly.
"Second brother, the young master should still have some surplus today. If we can reduce the royal family's expenses in the future, we should be able to save tens of thousands of dollars every year."
"Although it's not much, it can still solve some urgent needs."
Queen Changsun's figure is gentle and has the power to soothe people's hearts.
Li Shimin gently held Queen Changsun's hand.
Listening to the other party's soft words, he was stunned for a moment, and then he couldn't help but shake his head.
Smiling out loud with a wry smile.
"Young Master?"
"I'm afraid, I don't have much money now."
He doesn't even need to guess what's going on in the young master's house.
"The young master has no money?"
Queen Changsun was a little confused.
"Yes, the Young Mansion should have no money now. In order to cope with the possible locust plague this year, I asked Fourteenth to take charge of the Young Mansion and raise chickens and ducks. Now the Young Mansion's money, let alone the savings, has been saved.
You’ll save some money every quarter.”
"Fourteen is really willing to spend money. Some time ago, the young supervisor came to me to complain!"
Seeing Queen Changsun's confusion, Li Shimin explained aloud.
"Oh, that's it!"
Queen Changsun nodded and frowned.
The Young Mansion is the place where she can think of making a living for the time being.
This is where she can take charge.
After all, as the master of the harem, it is not a big problem to curb the expenses in the palace.
Unexpectedly, the young master’s expenses have already been used.
In this case, those previous words are naturally of no use.
But while Empress Changsun was thinking about it.
Li Shimin stood up at this time.
Under the gaze of Queen Changsun, Li Shimin spoke.
"Let's go to the Young Mansion and see how the chickens and ducks that boy raised for me are doing!"
As Li Shimin spoke, he wanted to take a look.
Every time he had a problem, that guy was able to help him solve it.
The first Turks, the second locusts.
This time, it seemed impossible, but Li Shimin still wanted to see his son.
And as soon as this idea appears, it becomes somewhat uncontrollable.
"Second brother, let's take a rest and go back tomorrow!"
Empress Changsun spoke with worry.
"It's okay, Maid Guanyin, you can come with me, I just want to go out and relax."
Li Shimin shook his head and spoke with a smile.
Under Li Shimin's determination, although Empress Changsun was a little worried about Li Shimin's health, she still nodded in agreement.
The two of them traveled lightly and quickly left the palace and headed to the young master's residence.
The afterglow of the evening falls.
The Shaofu Supervisor is currently processing the purchased Imperata. Today, the amount of Imperata has reached tens of thousands of kilograms, which can be said to be the largest amount in the past few days. He needs to have these Imperata cleaned and then send people to that yard.
When Li Shimin came with Queen Changsun, everyone was busy.
There were even sounds of conversation from time to time.
"What do you think your Highness is doing collecting this white grass?"
"Ask me who to ask!"
"Hey, you said His Highness has so much money, why don't you give it to us? Why should you give it to those mud-legged people? One pound is one penny. One hundred pounds is one hundred penny. How many months of income do I have!"<
/p>
"If you want it, dig it yourself!"
"Forget it, all the white cats around Chang'an have been dug up these days, and it's not your fault."
"I know this, but tell me where they dug it. The quantity seems to be quite large every day. It should be more than 11,000 kilograms today."
"Yes, to be precise, it's 11,235 pounds!"
"Hey, that's a lot of money!"
........
A member of the Shaofu Mansion was talking.
Since Li Shimin didn't inform anyone, naturally no one noticed.
Even if they noticed it, they just thought that the master of some family was taking his wife for an outing, and they didn't pay too much attention.
But when Li Shimin listened to their words, his face couldn't help but darken.
Money.
That’s all money.
Especially when I saw the bundles of cogon grass, I couldn't help but feel the veins popping out.
While he was worrying about money, his son was spending a lot of money in the Shaofu.
He actually used money to buy a bunch of Imperata no one wanted, and it was on such a large scale.
A pound or a penny is not much.
But according to what these people mean, today is 11,000 catties, and one catty is one penny, which is also consistent.
Eleven times a day.
Ten days, that’s a hundred days.
