Chapter 944: Is Li Chao Stupid? (The seventh more is sent, a big outbreak, ask for support!) )
The title of Datang is actually quite valuable, especially the actual title of today, which is quite rare. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
The three generations of the Li family, fourteen men, all knighted, is already an extremely rare thing in the Tang Dynasty, and it is even more amazing than Li Chao's kingship. After all, Li Chao is really going to be crowned king, and it is only Li Chao alone, and it is really not a big deal to be crowned a king with Li Chao's merits.
But Li Chao is not crowned king now, but all the fourteen men in the family have been knighted, and all of them are actual titles. The Li family, who was born less than half a year ago, has eight old men, nine old men, ten old eleven years, all of whom have knighthoods. Lao Eleven won't talk about it, after all, he is the son of the eldest princess and the nephew of the emperor.
But the eight, the nine, the ten, the three, but they were also knighted and returned to the fiefdom.
The emperor waved his hand, and the southern part of the Liaodong Peninsula under the control of Goguryeo was divided among the three boys of the Li family.
The will was transmitted to Wudang Mountain.
Li Chaodu was almost shocked by Li Shimin's generosity, and after reading the sealed map brought by the inner servant, isn't that equivalent to the jurisdiction of Dalian City in later generations?
If you convert it, this is almost more than 10,000 square kilometers, which is the size of 20 million acres.
This is a good place, there is an excellent ice-free port in the north, across the sea from the Shandong Peninsula, and there are so many islands around. But the only problem is that this is the territory of the Goguryeo people who are riding horses.
If Datang does not recover the Liaodong Peninsula in one day, then these 20 million acres of fiefdom are.
However, when he heard that the proclamation was coming to him to pay three million yuan for the fief, Li Chao almost spurted out a mouthful of old blood. Can Li Shimin be a little more shameless, take the territory of other Goguryeo people as a reward and give it to Li Chao's son, and then stretch out his hand to him and ask for three million yuan?
Why didn't he just give Li Chao the entire Goguryeo, and then simply asked Li Chao to give him all the family property.
But Dalian is a good place, the warmest place in the Northeast, no severe cold in winter, no heat in summer, four distinct seasons, and an excellent ice-free port.
After the waiter finished talking about three million guan, he also stood there quite embarrassed.
This thing is so shameless. If the emperor came up with a real fief, then he would ask his courtiers for fief money and say that it was in the past, but the emperor was sorry for the generosity of others, and as a result, he was embarrassed to reach out and ask for money, and he asked for three million yuan.
You must know that this land in southern Liaoning for the three brothers of the Li family is almost a hundred miles long and wide. At such a point, it actually costs three million.
Wouldn't it cost 30,000 yuan for a mile of fiefdom?
As a result, Li Chao did not get angry.
Yes, Li Chao was not angry at all.
At first, when he heard that Li Shimin was asking him for money from the territory of the Goguryeo people, Li Chao was really surprised. But now he is not angry, such a good place, even if it is only a hundred miles when converted, but under normal circumstances, it is impossible for the imperial court to give it to Li Chao.
No matter how great Li Chao's merits are, it is impossible to give Li Chao this treasure land at the southern tip of the Liaodong Peninsula.
It's really a gem.
It is very close to the Shandong Peninsula and is connected by the Miaodao Islands.
Moreover, it is not far from the mouth of the Liao River, and this is a natural and excellent seaport, or an ice-free port, which makes it very commercially expensive and even strategically important.
Beisha City, located on the tip of this peninsula, is one of the most important military towns and fortresses of the Goguryeo people in Liaodong.
In the eyes of many people, the emperor is bullying Li Chao. Taking other people's Goguryeo territory to reward Li Chao, isn't this just painting cakes to satisfy hunger and quench thirst is a blank check?
But Li Chao didn't think so, because Li Chao knew that even in history, the Tang Dynasty finally recovered the Liaodong Peninsula, and even later destroyed the entire Goguryeo.
And in this time and space, Li Chao believes that the Tang Dynasty will not wait until Li Shimin's old age to conquer Goguryeo, the Tang Dynasty has already defeated Goguryeo once in advance, and now the Turks have also weakened early.
It will definitely not be long before the Tang Dynasty will conquer Goguryeo, and the Liaodong Peninsula will definitely be recovered in advance.
At that time, could it be that Li Shimin was embarrassed to break his promise and not hand over Liaonan to the Li family?
If you really have to wait for the imperial court to conquer the Liaodong Peninsula, this Liaonan will be terrible at that time. With its excellent seaport and its proximity to the Shandong Peninsula, it will inevitably become an important transit point for the Central Plains to enter Liaodong and even the Samhan Peninsula, and will become a busy commercial port at that time.
Such a hundred miles of land is worth more than the nine hundred miles of fiefdom that Li Chao has at home now.
It's a real gem.
Three million, Li Chao simply took a big advantage.
really waited for the imperial court to fight down, at that time Li Chao would take 30 million, and Li Shimin would not sell it as long as he was not stupid.
"Three million, is it? Okay, you wait, I'll arrange it right away. ”
The chamberlain was dumbfounded, almost suspecting that he had misheard.
On the same day, Neichuan returned to Xiangyang.
He also brought back 13 million guan.
After Li Shimin heard about it, he ran to the dock in person.
Large boxes were brought down from the ship.
"Thirteen million guan are here?" Li Shimin asked in surprise.
The chamberlain nodded.
Dai Xuan frowned, "Thirteen million yuan is a lot, even if it is gold coins, there are thirteen million yuan, and a boat can't carry it." ”
The chamberlain said with some trepidation, "Zhao Guogong did give me thirteen million guan, but it was not gold coins, nor silver coins and copper dollars, but treasure money. ”
When I opened a box, there were bundles of extremely neatly arranged treasure money.
The flowers are still scented with ink, and they are all new banknotes that have not been used yet.
One hundred wen a piece, a bundle of ten thousand wen, that is, ten yuan of money.
One box contained a whole thousand bundles of money, a full 10,000. On board, there were 1,300 boxes.
"Thirteen million? Treasure money? ”
Li Shimin felt that he had been tricked.
"It's all paper!"
"Where are my thirteen million?"
The chamberlain was terrified, and he also knew that the more than 100 boxes of paper he had brought back were somewhat unreliable. But Li Chao told him that these papers were money, so he could only bring them back.
"Your Majesty, Zhao Guogong said that these treasure banknotes are money, which can be used as money in all the properties under Li Kee's name, and a penny can be used as a penny, and it will never be discounted, and Li Ji will never refuse to accept it. In addition, His Majesty can also use the money to cash out at Li Kee's bank, one to one. However, if it is cashed in Li Ji Qian Zhuang, more than 1,000 guan, you must be notified three days in advance, if it is more than 10,000 guan, you must be notified half a month in advance, and if you are cashing 1 million guan at a time, you must be notified one month in advance. ”
"Can it really be used for money?" Li Shimin came to the spirit.
If it can really be used as money, then he doesn't need to be angry, and he needs to scold Li Chao.
Although it may be troublesome to cash this treasure banknote in the money bank, Li Shimin is concerned about whether it can be cashed, and in addition, if it can really be used as money in Li Ji's name to make purchases, this is enough.
After all, thirteen million.
It's not easy to come by.
"Your Majesty, it's really okay, the minister saw Li Chao give a reward to his own steward before, and he also used this treasure money." Dai Xuan corroborated it on the side.
"Hahaha!"
Li Shimin laughed.
smiled very proudly, I didn't expect Li Chao to really give money, 13 million yuan. Treasure banknotes are treasure money, regardless of whether he is a treasure banknote or a banker or a copper coin or a gold coin, as long as it can be used.
After laughing for a while, Li Shimin lifted his beard and sighed, "Wenyuan is really loyal, in order to help the court tide over the difficulties, he tried his best to raise money." I was so touched by such loyalty. ”
He rewarded Li Chao's son to Goguryeo, and he wanted to exchange it for 3 million yuan, but in fact, he was just talking, in order to show his gratitude to Li Chao. didn't think about it, Li Chao really gave money.
Three million guan, doesn't Li Chao know that the fiefdom of southern Liaoning is in Goguryeo, doesn't he know that the Tang Dynasty may not be able to recover this place for decades or even a hundred years?
Li Chao must have known, but Li Chao paid for it.
Three million, without discounting, all paid.
What kind of spirit is this?
This is the heart of Datang and his fist.
Such a loyal minister, I have wronged him.
Recently, some people actually said bad things about Li Chao, saying that Li Chao was double-minded, what used power for personal gain, looted and collected wealth, what kind of wealth rivaled the country, etc., it was all his mother's fart.
Li Chaoduo is loyal and patriotic.
Li Chao is rich, yes, but the money is earned legitimately, and he has never been greedy for the money of the imperial court. Li Chao is rich, yes, but Li Chao lent more than 3 million to the imperial court before, and claimed millions of bonds from the imperial court.
This time, 13 million were sent to the imperial court at once.
Li Chao is breaking the family for the country.
Thirteen million guan, Li Chao gave it to the imperial court.
Li Shimin decided that this was sending money, after all, what kind of Liuqiu Island could be worth two million? What kind of slave trapping team license can it be worth two million? Not to mention that Liaonan is worth three million. Li Chao also lent six million to the imperial court, which is all loyalty to the imperial court.
Before and after, it's 20 million.
Li Chao's loyalty touches the heavens and the earth.
"Prepare the boat, I want to go to Wudang Mountain."
"Your Majesty?"
Dai Zhou asked in surprise.
"I'm going to personally invite Wen Yuan back."
Dai Xuan and the officials next to him were about to fall out in shock, the emperor actually wanted to go to Wudang Mountain in person to invite Li Chao back. This is too shocking.
"Your Majesty, it's too sudden, let's send someone to deliver the decree first."
"That's right, Your Majesty is so polite, but it will make Zhao Guogong criticized." Under the persuasion of the ministers, Li Shimin finally dispelled the urge to invite Li Chao back.
"Then give Li Chao's sons the titles, since they all have real seals, they can't just be viscounts and barons."
took the territory of the enemy country and gave it to his courtiers, and sold it for a high price of three million, Li Shimin also felt a little embarrassed, after all, he was still a little too young, and his skin was not thick enough to that extent.
Li Chao's eleven sons turned out to be one county duke, two county dukes, three marquises, two uncles, two sons and one man, and Li Shimin simply promoted the three lowest titles, two sons and one baron, to the founding uncle.
In this way, the eleventh son of the Li family is one county duke, two county dukes, three marquis and five uncles. Among them, the eldest son is the county prince, the second son is the county prince, and the eleventh child born in Pingyang is also the county prince, and the remaining eight are all named uncles.
If you add that Li Chao and his father are both national dukes, and Li Chao's younger brother Li Yue is also an uncle, then the Li family is a two princes, one county, two counties, three marquis and six uncles.
This fourteen lords are not even comparable to the most powerful Li, Wei, and Yang families in the Sui Dynasty.
On the dock, countless people secretly marveled in their hearts.
However, some people looked at the boxes of treasure money, thinking in their hearts, the Li family has fourteen lords, but it also cost 20 million, 20 million, so much money in exchange for these titles and fiefs, and I don't know whether it is a profit or a loss.
But all over the world, Li Chao was able to take out 20 million and give it to the court without blinking. Other wealthy families, maybe some of the thousand-year-old gate valves have so many family backgrounds, but they will definitely not be given to the imperial court.
This Li Chao is too stupid.
Thirteen million!
On that day, the entire Xiangyang was shocked by the thirteen million yuan.
And when everyone knew how these three million came from, countless people were secretly scolding Li Chao for being stupid.
It's too stupid, two million guan to buy a broken Liuqiu Island, is Li Chao stupid?
Two million to buy a license from a slave catching team, Li Chao's head was caught by the door, right?
Three million to buy a hundred-mile fief that is still in the hands of the Goguryeo people, this is brain water, right?
There are almost 20 million before and after, and they were all sent to the imperial court, Li Chao is simply stupid and incurable!
