885. Extort a dowry
"Your Majesty, I have good news for you. After half a month's hard work, he finally raised enough military expenses of 10 million yuan for the emperor, and as long as he waited for the emperor's order, he could go to the warehouse in the east of the city to accept and transport away! Jingwen said.
And Li Shimin seemed to have known the news for a long time, and then asked: "Jingwen, you are not authentic!" ”
"Your Majesty, why aren't the ministers authentic?" Jingwen asked.
Li Shimin immediately said: "You are really my Tang God of Wealth, you even have to earn money to raise military expenses for me, and you have earned three million yuan at a time, but it is equivalent to one-third of the annual income of my Tang Dynasty's current imperial court!" If I don't look at this time, I really don't know that my Datang folk wealth is so huge, and the financial resources are so abundant. If it weren't for me in the bank...... Forget it! ”
Li Shimin actually exposed a secret, that is, Li Shimin planted eyeliner in Jingwen's bank. However, Jing Wen will not care, in the eyes of the emperor officials of this era, even if Jing Wenming does something financial in vain, these guys are all blind. Li Shimin didn't mean that Jingwen had already mastered the right to issue Datang's large-denomination currency, as well as the right to sell stocks. And Li Shimin would not know how great the significance of these two rights was, so he didn't say anything.
"Hehe, the emperor, this is all the emperor's cultivation and recuperation in the past few years, and the people have recovered? And now that the people are buying this war stock, isn't it just to repay the emperor? As for the title of the God of Wealth of the Tang Dynasty, the ministers dare not take it. Jing Wen laughed.
"Say you're fat, you're still panting!" Li Shimin snorted.
"Your Majesty, no matter what, this 10 million yuan war stock can be considered to be complete. As long as the emperor gives an order, the Tang army can immediately assemble and prepare to crusade against Goguryeo. And now the people are also hating Goguryeo who dares to use the bones of our Han soldiers as a Jingguan, so we can win the hearts of the people. Now it's not a question of whether we want to fight or not. It's the people who forced us to fight Goguryeo! Jingwen said.
"I know that recently, all the major yamen of the imperial court have received requests to ask the imperial court to fight Goguryeo. And these civil and military officials also agreed to go to Goguryeo, after all, this is the great enmity of my Chinese people, and I can't go unavenged. So, we have to fight. But ......," Li said.
"But what?" Jingwen asked.
"But, Jingwen, it seems that you haven't given me a dowry yet!" Li Shimin said.
"Dowry?" Jingwen was a little speechless.
Li Shimin immediately said: "You are going to marry my precious daughter and return my eldest daughter, shouldn't you give me some dowry?" Remember. Give less, I won't do it! ”
Jing Wen complained in his heart: "Boss, it's the first time I've heard that marrying the emperor's daughter requires a dowry?" ”
In ancient times, it was possible to marry another woman as a dowry, but instead of marrying the emperor's daughter, there was no dowry. Because the emperor is nominally the richest family in the world, there has never been a lot of royal marriages when the princess is married, but he has never heard of a concubine giving the emperor a dowry. The so-called dowry of the horse is the symbolic meaning of the meaning. On the contrary, the royal family has to take out a lot of wealth as a dowry, and then marry the princess. Therefore, Jingwen listened to it freshly, and he actually had to take the dowry himself? And this Princess Changle was forced to Jingwen by Li Shimin. Now he actually asked Jingwen to give a dowry, which of course made Jingwen a little uncomfortable.
"Your Majesty, how much dowry do you plan to give at that time?" Jingwen smelled first.
"I'll talk about this then, you give me the dowry first!" Li Shimin said with a push.
"Money junkies!" Jing Wen said angrily in his heart.
And Li Shimin went on to say: "I don't want more. That is, give me 2.5 million yuan of the 3 million yuan you just earned, and then I will be satisfied! Recently, I want to build a Daming Palace to escape the summer, but now the imperial treasury is not rich, so it is difficult for me to ask the imperial court. So I can only ask you to come out of some. ”
Jingwen was speechless, it seems that history still has inertia, and Li Shimin still wants to build Daming Palace. And Datang's finances were tossed by Jingwen to the bottom. Therefore, it is not good for Li Shimin to ask the state treasury for money directly, so he can only get money from Jingwen. Jingwen is self-suffering, and he actually got the 3 million guan just now, and he just wanted to remove 2.5 million guan. This emperor is really a pit, he actually looted five-sixths of it at once, it was simply too ruthless, and he didn't scrape the ground so ruthlessly.
Moreover, this Li Shimin is also really, and he actually asked for it in the name of asking Jingwen for a dowry. This reason is reasonable, but it is not in line with the royal rules. I have never heard of a dowry for royal brides, but this is indeed the case among the people, and dowries are needed. And there are dowries and dowries among the people, so Li Shimin is now asking for a dowry on the grounds of the people.
And Jingwen can be sure that he will definitely lose money this time, because when the time comes, Li Shimin, the "poor" emperor, will definitely be extremely picky, and he will not give much dowry when Princess Changle marries. And now Jingwen is going to take out a dowry of 2.5 million yuan at a time, which is simply a big loss.
"Your Majesty, you see that two hundred and five is not a good number. The ancients used two hundred and five to describe stupidity, so the emperor, a holy king, is not suitable for this two hundred and five! Jingwen said.
Jingwen's meaning is obvious, that is, he wants Li Shimin to ask for less, and then leave more money for Jingwen. However, Li Shimin seemed to suddenly come to his senses.
"In that case, then you can send 2.6 million yuan." Li Shimin said.
Jingwen was speechless, Li Shimin not only did not decrease, but increased by 100,000 yuan, to 2.6 million yuan. This did avoid two hundred and five, but it increased instead, and it was not the same as what Jing Wen had in his heart.
"If you really want money, you know how to exploit Lao Tzu?" Jingwen whispered.
"What were you talking about? Who are you? You hurry up and send 2.6 million yuan to me, my Daming Palace is still waiting to start construction! Li Shimin asked.
"You emperor have really sharp ears!" Jingwen complained in his heart.
"Your Majesty, the minister will definitely send it immediately!" Jingwen said with great pain.
And after Jingwen left, Li Shimin looked at Jingwen's shadow, and then said, "I don't exploit you, who do I exploit?" If I don't exploit you, how can I create a prosperous Tang Dynasty? If I don't exploit you, how can I be a saint! (To be continued......)
