In the study.

Li Shimin is handling government affairs. Although the three provinces and six ministries are much more convenient, after becoming the emperor, his government affairs have increased more than ten times. Fortunately, he has adapted a lot when he was in the Qin Palace, and now there is nothing

What a big problem.

"Second brother, I heard that the business there on the 14th is very prosperous. A lot of people have come to Chang'an in the past few days."

"It's very lively these days."

Empress Changsun came over with a plate of roast duck and a small bowl of silver soup, and spoke with a slight smile.

"The battle is huge. I hope that guy can really get some money. It doesn't matter if it's not one million guan, half a million guan, or not 100,000 guan."

"Mr. Guanyin, you see the third section of the Grand Canal is blocked again. The cost of unblocking it may cost upwards of 100,000 yuan."

"And here, there is a severe drought in Hebei. We need to open a warehouse to provide relief."

"And here, here!"

"It's all about money. Now the national treasury only has 200,000 guan, how can it support it?"

Li Shimin spoke with a sigh, his expression full of worry.

It was as if God was specifically against him.

The locust plague has not yet been resolved, but a severe drought has occurred in Hebei.

Then the Grand Canal became blocked.

Although the Grand Canal built by Yang Guang has been blocked since the end of the Sui Dynasty, it was dredged again in the second year of Wude. I didn't expect that the heavy rain overnight would cause the third section to be blocked again, or even collapse.

It’s a lot, and now the cost is even greater.

And the treasury really has no money.

So much so that he had to rely on his fourteenth son.

"Second brother, don't worry too much, Fourteenth may really have a solution!"

Empress Changsun gently rubbed Li Shimin's head and spoke with comfort.

While the two were talking.

Wang De's voice sounded outside the door.

"Come in!"

Li Shimin spoke.

Wang De then opened the door and walked in.

The figure walked in, Wang De lowered his head.

Instead of going to see Li Shimin and Empress Changsun, she suppressed her previous shock and reported.

"Your Majesty, the Ministry of Revenue has come to report that the money sent to the Ministry of Revenue by His Highness King Wei in the past half month has exceeded 400,000 yuan. How should we decide?"

At this moment, Wang De's voice was vibrating.

He was completely confused when he heard the words of the Ministry of Revenue official. Even now, Wang De was still a little unable to react.

Four hundred thousand dollars.

That’s 400,000 yuan.

His Royal Highness, King Wei, only lasted less than a month.

"Poof!"

"What?"

Li Shimin was drinking soup, but now he couldn't help but spit it out, and spoke with a confused expression.

"Your Majesty, the Ministry of Revenue has come to report that the money sent to the Ministry of Revenue by His Highness King Wei in the past half month has exceeded 400,000 yuan!"

Wang De had already expected Li Shimin's reaction and quickly repeated it at this moment.

Only when this side spoke out again did Li Shimin react.

But at this moment, his eyes could not help but widen in disbelief.

"This, this!"

As he spoke, Li Shimin couldn't help but stutter a little at this moment.

He originally thought he was calm enough.

But just now we were discussing whether Li Ming could raise 500,000 guan for him this time, but it really didn’t work. 200,000 guan, 300,000 guan, or even hundreds of thousands guan would be fine.

He doesn’t want a million dollars anymore.

I didn’t expect that in less than a month.

Li Ming gave him a big surprise directly.

Four hundred thousand dollars.

Although it is only 400,000 guan, not the target of 1 million guan, it has not started yet.

"Your Majesty, it should be true at this time. This is a notification sent by the Minister of Household Affairs."

Wang De spoke again.

And to reach this moment.

Li Shimin suddenly came to his senses.

The figure stepped forward and headed directly outside the dormitory.

The words rang out immediately.

"Let's go!"

"Go to the household department!"

Li Shimin's figure hurried to the Ministry of Household Affairs.

......

Soon, his figure arrived at the household department.

But when he arrived at the Ministry of Household Affairs and saw boxes of copper coins, boxes of jewelry, gold and silver, and cloth, his breathing became stagnant again.

Four hundred thousand dollars.

Of course, they cannot all be copper coins, but they are of equal value.

Now that it was placed directly in front of Li Shimin, one can imagine the great impact on him.

"Gudong!"

Wang De beside him could not help but swallow a mouthful of saliva at this moment.

I can’t help it, there are too many in front of me.

"It hasn't started yet, why are there so many?"

Muttering to himself, Li Shimin looked a little confused.

Although he didn't pay much attention, he was still aware of the progress of the auction. He knew very well that the auction had not started yet.

But now it has reached 400,000 yuan.

This is simply unimaginable.

"His Royal Highness King Wei said that this is the sponsorship fee for the auction, totaling 413,000 yuan. Your Majesty, how should we arrange it?"

At this time, Pei Juzu also felt that his heart could not calm down.

As the grandson of Pei Tuo, the governor of Jingzhou in the Northern Wei Dynasty, and the son of Pei Nazhi, the prince of the Northern Qi Dynasty, his life has gone through the Northern Zhou Dynasty, Sui Dynasty, and Wude. Now, he has been a veteran of more than three dynasties, and has faced more than ten thousand things.

But at this moment, I was stunned by King Wei's generous gesture.

Four hundred thousand guan is indeed not much for the national treasury.

Now as the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, he handles millions of dollars in food every year, but that is the income of the entire Tang Dynasty treasury, but now it is only the result of King Wei in one month.

And it’s just the so-called sponsorship fee.

He understands what sponsorship fees are.

Just by putting up a few signs at the location of the auction, you can sell it for tens of thousands of dollars.

The cheapest ones cost several thousand guan. If Li Ming hadn't made sure that he didn't threaten these merchants, Pei Ju would have felt that Li Ming had robbed him.

No, even if you rob it openly, I'm afraid you won't be able to rob so much money.

These wealthy businessmen have obviously taken out their pants.

Even if you try to rob it, you won’t be able to rob it so cleanly.

After listening to Pei Juzu's words, Li Shimin's shocked expression came back to his senses a little.

"Fourteen, him!"
