"If I don't keep some money in the treasury, how can I maintain the normal expenses of the Tang Dynasty soldiers?"
"Well, that's right!"
Li Chengfeng suddenly asked in doubt: "Father, why do you want to give those ministers various copper mines, iron mines and pastures? These things can be said to be a cornucopia. As long as the resources are not exhausted, a lot of iron mines can be extracted every year. Pay back the money!"
Li Shimin explained with a smile: "Feng'er, you don't understand! When my father proclaimed himself emperor, they were the ones who accompanied me to conquer the world! How could I not give them these rewards?"
"If you want to win people's hearts, you must first retain people's hearts! As an emperor, money is already something outside of me! Because I have the power to dominate the world, as long as I want, I can take back the iron coins of those ministers at will. Mines and copper mines! But in this way, the hearts of the people will be scattered, do you think the father is right?"
"Well, it makes sense! But father, you are too generous. You don't understand assets and give them away casually? Sigh, it would be great if you gave me one, haha!"
Li Chengfeng smiled mischievously.
Li Shimin also smiled and said, "Give you one? What can you use it for? Apart from developing iron ore and paying back the money with iron, you don't know how to make armor and weapons!"
"So the emperor gave you one, and you can't get any value! This matter, let's talk about it later! After you become the God King of the Tang Dynasty, the emperor will naturally bestow you with many rewards! "
"Okay, the minister there will thank the emperor first!"
Li Chengfeng was able to smile.
In this world, no one has trouble with money.
As the saying goes, money can make ghosts turn millstones.
If you have money, you can travel all over the world, but if you don't have money, you can't walk an inch!
"Well, back then, those copper and iron mines were mountain ranges to be developed. I don't want to think that more than ten years have passed, and the minister who owns the mine has already made so much money? Fortunately, Feng'er, you let them take it for me. Spit out all the money you swallowed!"
"That's what it should be, Royal Father, don't forget that I can get 40% of the 300,000 gold back in taxes!"
"Huh? Haha, you little money fanatic, if your father does what he says, then I'll share 40% of it with you!"
Li Shimin happily touched Li Chengfeng's little head.
But Li Chengfeng seemed to be very resistant to others touching his head, so he turned his head away and refused to let Li Shimin touch it.
Li Shimin suddenly, don't know what happened?
It seems that the father's love suddenly broke out, and he even said that he wanted to hug Li Chengfeng.
Li Chengfeng immediately turned around and ran away.
Want to hug me again? Li Shimin, you are a very bad old man!
An old man, still thinking about hugging me every day? no way!
Li Shimin saw that Li Chengfeng still didn't dare to come into his arms, and thought that Li Chengfeng still had a grudge against him.
Simply waving his hand, Li Shimin sighed helplessly.
Today, the whereabouts of Li Chengfeng's mother, Cheng Yingying, is unknown. I don't know if she disappeared in Luojiang Village, or was captured by Turkic thieves?
Even though Li Shimin had sent several teams of soldiers and horses to go out to search, they could not find Cheng Yingying's whereabouts. This made Li Shimin feel a little worried.
Because Li Shimin knew that if Li Chengfeng grew up and hadn't been able to see his mother, Li Chengfeng might get angry and leave home to find his mother in the territory of Turkic thieves.
Others dare not do this kind of thing, but Li Shimin knows that Li Chengfeng can do it.
After all, this person jumped off the Longteng wall, and then flew away with the flying bamboo wings he made? Don't give yourself face at all!
"Oh, no matter, no matter! At least I lost money to him!"
Li Shimin sighed slightly.
…
Instead, Li Chengfeng changed the topic again, and said, "Father, have you had dinner yet?"
"Eat it! Didn't I come to visit you when I heard that you have completed the task of collecting taxes? Haha!"
Li Shimin smiled.
Li Chengfeng frowned, and said: "No, no, father, my son has not completed the task of collecting taxes, and there is still one last step left!"
"Oh? There's still one last step left, which step?"
"That is, the eldest grandson's family has not returned it!"
Li Chengfeng walked with his hands behind his back, his head held high and his chest held high, and said: "So I decided to go to the Changsun's mansion tomorrow to pay a visit to the great general Sun Wuji, and ask him to hand over all the tax evasions from the past!"
"Oh? It's the eldest grandson's family?"
Li Shimin then frowned, and said: "Feng'er, I think, why don't you just forget about it! Changsun Wuji's younger sister is your eldest grandson empress! I don't look at the monk's face or the Buddha's face, but I should give some to their eldest grandson's family." It’s shameful to talk about tax evasion and tax evasion, it loses the face of the eldest grandson’s family, which means it loses the face of my royal family!”
It turns out that the eldest grandson's family and the Li family of the Tang royal family still have such a deep connection?
No wonder Wei Zheng said before that he should not mess with Changsun Wuji.
However, Li Chengfeng decided to go.
He is a man who is not afraid of power.
Moreover, my identity is already the eighth prince of the Tang Dynasty, and is the supreme power of the Tang Dynasty!
He, Li Shimin, can give Changsun Wuji face, but I, Li Chengfeng, give it if I want, and don’t give it if I don’t want to!
Look at his eldest grandson's family, what can I do?
Li Chengfeng continued: "Father, the taxes of other families have been collected and paid back, but the eldest grandson's family has not paid back. If this is said, what will the other ministers think? So I have decided, tomorrow, it will be Go to the Changsun Mansion!"
"Well... just in case, what if Changsun Wuji refuses to accept the account! You can't find his bill, nor can you find out his income record!"
Li Shimin asked suspiciously.
Li Chengfeng smiled and said: "Well, you don't have to worry about this, the emperor, the son is free to find ways to let the eldest grandson Wuji obediently pay the taxes he owes! Why does he make so much money? Now, the whole The people of Tang Dynasty are suffering, but they made so much money? Huh...so I, Li Chengfeng, can't stand it anymore! Besides, I have already decided that in a few days, I will go south to Chang'an City to visit, and the common people What is life like!"
"That's fine! But Feng'er, if you didn't take back the tax from the eldest grandson's family, the emperor will not blame you! After all, the eldest grandson's family and our royal family are in-laws!"
"Ola, Ola, don't worry, father, but when I get back the tax, you have to share 40% of my money!"
"Hahaha, Feng'er, don't worry, if a gentleman says a word, it's hard to catch a horse! How has Father ever lied to you?"
"Okay, then it's settled!"
Li Chengfeng smiled brightly.
If you don't make money, you don't make it in vain.
By collecting taxes, you can earn hundreds of thousands of gold.
This money is enough for Li Chengfeng to become a rich man in the Tang Dynasty!
