Chapter 53 How to spend money
The auction is over, and the excitement in Chang'an is still going on. Now there are tens of thousands more people in Chang'an. These tens of thousands of people are eating, drinking, and eating, which instantly boosts Chang'an's consumption. These days, almost all the people in Chang'an are smiling.
Whether you sell some small commodities or rent out a house, you can make a lot of money.
And for these existences arriving in Chang'an, they are undoubtedly excited.
This time, even if you didn't buy the auction items, you still made some profits, and those who bought the auction items made huge profits.
It's just that these people's happiness and anger have nothing to do with Li Ming.
He didn't even know about the Cui family.
During this period, he has been busy counting money.
Too many.
There are really too many.
As mentioned before, regardless of other factors, the revenue from the auction alone exceeded 8 million.
Such a huge value.
In the next three days, they were sent to the household department one after another.
Because this income was obtained by Li Ming, he was naturally caught.
Seven days to go.
Under his guidance of statistical methods from later generations, this huge sum of money was finally counted.
"His Royal Highness King Wei, Lord Pei, the total price is 8,631,231 yuan."
An official from the Ministry of Household Affairs spoke with a heavy breathing.
Even as members of the household department, they have never seen such huge wealth at this moment.
In the past year, the treasury revenue was indeed around 5 million guan, but these 500 guan were only figures on paper and never really appeared at all.
But now not only has it really appeared, its value has even exceeded imagination.
"Eight, eight million!"
"This, this!"
Pei Juzu murmured to himself, even if he had psychological predictions, when the accurate value was determined, his fluctuations were still so violent.
"Master Pei, the statistics have been completed. Let's report to His Majesty with me!"
Li Ming didn't care about Pei Juzu's shock, but spoke with a serious tone.
"Yes, yes!"
"Should report to His Majesty immediately."
After hearing Li Ming's words, Pei Juzu suddenly woke up and responded quickly.
After quickly making arrangements, he followed Li Ming to the palace.
In the palace at this time.
Li Er no longer had the worries he had before. An income of more than five million yuan was enough for him to do a lot of things. The original lack of money was also solved at this moment.
These days are naturally much easier.
When Li Ming and Pei Juzu arrived, Li Shimin still had a smile on his face.
"Fourteen, Hongdae, you are here!"
Speaking with a smile, Li Shimin looked at the two of them expectantly.
And the two of them did not disappoint him.
"Your Majesty, the statistics have come out, this is the number!"
Pei Juzu spoke, and then handed a counting list from his arms to Li Shimin.
Li Shimin took it in excitement.
But the moment he lowered his gaze, he couldn't help but look up and looked at the two of them again in surprise.
"Is this true?"
Li Shimin's words couldn't help but blurt out.
"Father, this matter is true and has been confirmed three times."
Li Ming nodded and spoke with certainty.
"Hahaha!~"
"Not bad, not bad, eight million strings!"
Hearing Li Ming's promise, Li Shimin couldn't help laughing out loud, his expression seemed particularly cheerful, and the last tension in his heart completely disappeared at this moment.
"Okay, Fourteen, you are very good this time. I promise you the position of Grand Secretary of Agriculture. After Hongda, you will be the position of Grand Secretary of Agriculture."
Li Shimin spoke with a loud smile.
Just these words made Pei Juzu couldn't help being shocked.
He didn't expect it at all.
Li Shimin actually planned to let Li Ming take over his position.
He is the Minister of Household Affairs.
The Minister of Hubu also has a title, that is, the Minister of Duzhi, or Da Sinong.
Now that he is nearly 80 years old, his retirement is certain to happen this year.
But I didn't expect that it would be Li Ming who took over.
Pei Juzu opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything.
Li Ming added eight million yuan to the Tang treasury in one auction. Perhaps there is no one more suitable than Li Ming.
And listen to Li Shimin’s words.
Li Ming pondered for a moment and finally shook his head.
"Father, my son and minister are not suitable for the position of Chief Agriculture Officer. Please take back your appointment!"
The words are spoken with a twinkle.
Da Sinong, or the Secretary of the Ministry of Revenue, is indeed a high-ranking official, but it is obviously not suitable for him. The restrictions are too great, and he might as well be in the Shaofu.
The Shaofu is a functional organization that manages the private wealth and daily affairs of the royal family. In addition, the Shaofu has a large organization and many subordinate officials. He can do much more in the Shaofu than a big minister of agriculture or a minister of household affairs.
As for the issue of money.
He can get eight million strings this time, and he can get more next time, so there is no need to worry.
After hearing Li Ming's words, Li Shimin couldn't help but be a little stunned.
Even Pei Juzu couldn't help but be a little surprised.
The Minister of the Ministry of Finance, that is the Minister of the Ministry of Finance.
How much has he gone through to reach where he is now.
Now Li Ming can step in instantly as long as he agrees.
That is a minister-level existence. Even for the vassal king, this is the highest honor, even an existence that is unattainable.
This is not the Han Dynasty. It is almost impossible for a vassal king to hold an important position in the country.
But at this moment Li Ming refused.
Moreover, Li Ming's attitude was very obvious at this time, and there was no reason for giving in.
"Why?"
Li Shimin couldn't help but speak curiously.
Li Shimin, the Minister of Household Affairs, really didn’t expect that Li Ming would refuse.
"My son, my ability is limited, I'm afraid I won't be able to take charge of the household department!"
"Moreover, as a vassal king, I am afraid that if I join the Household Department before the crowning ceremony, I am afraid of attracting criticism. I will not be able to control the post of the Young Mansion, let alone the Household Department."
Li Ming spoke softly.
After saying these words, Li Shimin couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
Pei Juzu looked at Li Ming a little strangely, and his heart could not help but rise and fall.
While the two of them were ups and downs, Li Ming looked at the digital watch in Li Shimin's hand, hesitating a little.
But in the end I couldn't help but speak.
"Father, I think the most important thing now is how to spend this money so that the national power of the Tang Dynasty can be improved again."
"The position of Minister of Agriculture is not a top priority today."
Having obtained eight million coins, it would be nonsense to say that Li Ming has no ideas.
Eight million strings, he believed, would be enough to rapidly improve the national power of the entire Tang Dynasty, even enough to advance to the second level.
Compared with the so-called Minister of Household Affairs, Da Sinong.
This is what he cares about most.
