Chapter 1067: Boiling Frogs in Warm Water

"Returning to my father, the boy's letter was very clear. All of this was to honor my father. As for the water, it was money for the construction of the warship. There are some other properties at Fuso. Although I can't afford it now, I will never forget it. Fusang transported a lot of people, and when they grow food in Goguryeo, they will be able to pay the bill, and all of this money will go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs."

The prince Li Chengqian stood up at this time, and his father was very satisfied with what he said. Li Shimin himself did not want to spit out the money. He had already placed it in front of the Qinzheng Hall. Of course, Li Shimin Received in private pocket.

Li Shimin's life has not been very good these years. Look at the palaces in this palace. Most of them are already very old. It turns out that some of them were repaired during the Tang Emperor Li Yuan's time. After he ascended the throne, they were at best One or two of the palaces were renovated, which really seemed a bit shabby for the Tang Dynasty.

Of course, there is nothing we can do about it. Who has no money? The Ministry of Revenue does have money, but the money is used for major issues related to the national economy and people's livelihood. If it is used to repair the palace, then I don't know how many people in the imperial court will stand up and make nonsense.

What's more, Li Shimin has always regarded himself as a wise king, a wise king in the prosperous times. How could he use the money from the Ministry of Revenue to build the palace? So Li Shimin wanted to save some money for himself, but the economic development of the Tang Dynasty itself was not fast. At most, it was just for the sake of feeding the people. The Ministry of Household Affairs was often stretched thin, not to mention Li Shimin's private treasury. .

After having Li Xiang, the money in the private treasury also gradually increased. It was enough to repair the palace. Now with this sum in front of me, although it cannot be said that the entire palace has been renovated, it can be said that the nearby buildings have been renovated. If a few palaces are repaired, there will be no problem at all.

"That won't work. Take 20,000 taels of silver from it and reward it to the soldiers fighting on the front line."

Li Shimin's ability to become a wise king is definitely not based on bragging. He is so happy that he is almost dizzy, and he can still think of the soldiers who are fighting bloody battles in Fusang. This is already quite difficult, at least it has exceeded 100%. The emperor is over ninety-five.

"The Emperor's Holy Might."

Li Shimin has already come up with 20,000 taels of silver. If the ministers below don't shout a word or two, it will be a bit difficult. Although the money is not a lot, it still accounts for one-tenth of the money here. .

If it were Li Xiang, he might be able to multiply this number by ten, but Li Shimin didn't have many places to make money. Although he did a lot of business in partnership with Li Xiang, Li Shimin also had many places to spend money, and he had so many people. People need to be bribed, especially when Li Xiang is in an aggressive state. If this money is not spent, then I don’t know how many people under Li Xiang will be bribed by Li Xiang, so Li Shimin’s life has not been easy these years. .

The other one is about the intelligence agency. Li Xiang's intelligence agency has already surpassed Li Shimin's men in black. It's not that he doesn't know about this. He really doesn't have enough money in his hands, so he can only let the black people do it these years. The Yiren maintain their original scale. Now that they have this money, they can also support them to make them bigger. Even if they can't catch up with Li Xiang's people, it won't be too big a difference. .

"Your Majesty, according to King Wu's memorial, they have occupied Nagasaki and Fukuoka. They have no plans to march to other places for the time being. Fuso has also sent a prince to negotiate. This is the general outline of the negotiation. Outline.”

When Fang Xuanling saw that Li Shimin had finished talking about the money, he had to report some information on the front line. If Li Shimin didn't know anything about what was going on there, he would be convicted after he returned without bail. In the first memorial of the day, everything on the front line was reported, and there was no room for jumping to conclusions.

In front of others, Li Shimin didn't care much about things in Fusang. After all, he was the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and Fusang was just a small country. If he cared too much about things there, it would really be a compliment to them. , so every time I take a look at it and throw it away.

However, Li Shimin's ability is very high. Although he cannot have photographic memory, he can remember the general content.

According to what this memorial said, these two places were ceded to the territory of the Tang Dynasty, and the people in these two places were all assigned to the commander-in-chief of the Tang Dynasty.

At the same time, Fuso must open five cities as trading ports, and Fuso's foreign trade must be handed over to Datang. That means that from now on, except for some fishermen in Fuso, other ships are absolutely not allowed to go to sea. , all goods must be sold by Datang merchants.

The price of all goods adopts a pricing system, which is slightly higher than the cost. If someone dares to smuggle goods, then there will be severe penalties waiting for these people.

"What's the point of this guy getting this one out? Didn't he mean to occupy the entire Fuso?"

Li Shimin said a little strangely that although the person signed below was Wu Wang Li Ke, Li Shimin knew very well that the son was nothing more than a puppet, and the person behind the operation was still Li Xiang.

"I don't quite understand this, but His Highness Taisun must have his intention. Before leaving, His Highness Taisun once said that this time in the war in Fusang, we need to boil the frog in warm water, and we cannot fight too fiercely. Well, if it is too intense, it will not be good for our soldiers below."

Fang Xuanling remembered what Li Xiang said before leaving. Maybe these were some steps to boil a frog in warm water.

"In the memorial to our Ministry of War, His Highness Taisun once mentioned that the Fusang War does not require the court to spend a penny. All the money must be paid by the Fusang people. Maybe this has something to do with that."

Li Jing, Minister of the Ministry of War, also remembered a memorial from the past. Although he didn't have it with him now, what he said was not false at all.

After listening to what they said, Li Shimin stopped caring about Fusang's affairs. Anyway, letting Li Xiang do something was better than staying in Chang'an. When Li Xiang stayed in Chang'an, Li Shimin always felt uncomfortable. , it is better to coordinate one thing outside now.

"Then let Li Xiang go to Fusang and talk about this matter as my representative. Li Ke, the king of Wu, will return to Beijing and be granted the title of King of Shu. After returning to Beijing, he will go to the fiefdom three months later."
