Although Zhao Chen said it very clearly, everyone in the imperial study room looked at me and I looked at you, and they had no idea what Zhao Chen meant by this.
Zhao Chen smiled: "In that case, Your Majesty, just let me be directly responsible. My estimate is that if everything goes well, this matter will be resolved within three months at the earliest and half a year at the latest."
Li Shimin nodded: "Of course I believe you, Mr. Zhao. In this case, you will be responsible for it, Mr. Zhao."
"Your Majesty, what happened to Goguryeo and Xue Yantuo?"
¡°There¡¯s no movement, I¡¯m just waiting for them to move.¡±
Li Shimin's words were full of confidence. As long as Goguryeo and Xue Yantuo moved, the Tang Dynasty would directly send troops. Even if Zhao Chen was not needed, Li Shimin was fully capable of taking down Xue Yantuo and Goguryeo.
After chatting for a while, Zhao Chen prepared to leave the imperial study.
"Father, father!"
A sweet voice sounded, and Zhao Chen was about to leave when he saw a little girl jumping in.
The other courtiers in the imperial study also looked at this little girl, with smiles on their faces.
The girl threw herself into Li Shimin's arms. Li Shimin smiled and rubbed her head: "Gao Yang, I'm still dealing with state affairs."
"No matter, father, I want you to play with me."
"Okay, okay, I'll take you to play later."
And Gao Yang was full of grievances: "Father, what should I do with the person I told you about before? He has been bullying me before and even humiliated me in public."
Zhao Chen looked at Gao Yang with a strange expression, and Li Shimin looked helpless: "Gao Yang, didn't I tell you that you must be careful when going out? Why did you go directly to the Zhao Manor and tie up the scholar in public? "
Gao Yang said aggrievedly: "But, but, he also spanked me, and he also spanked me in front of my sister!"
Zhao Chen couldn't help coughing. When Gao Yang heard this familiar voice, he turned around and his face changed immediately: "Father, it's him! Catch him quickly! Put him in jail!"
Several courtiers next to him had strange expressions, and even Cheng Yaojin couldn't help but suppress a smile.
Li Shimin knocked Gao Yang on the head: "Gao Yang, stop fooling around, he is the Emperor's Consort of the Tang Dynasty."
"What's wrong with the consort?"
Zhao Chen said: "Your Majesty, you should consider changing the method of educating your children. The prince and the King of Wei do not need to be so harsh, but the princess needs to be more harsh. Otherwise, the princess of the Tang Dynasty is unruly and rude. How can this be possible? OK?"
Wei Zheng also nodded: "I second the proposal."
Gao Yang felt angry and aggrieved when he heard this, and Zhao Chen showed her beautiful white teeth: "If His Majesty can't do it, it doesn't matter. Give her to me, and I promise to make her docile within a month."
Gao Yang was frightened: "No, no."
She quickly ran out of the imperial study room.
Li Shimin shook his head helplessly: "Okay, Mr. Zhao, you can go about your business."
Zhao Chen smiled slightly: "Then I will retire."
After leaving the imperial study, Zhao Chen directly took Li Shimin¡¯s imperial edict and prepared to go to the Ministry of Household Affairs to start asking for money and food.
This year, the Minister of Household Affairs became Gao Shilian, and there were frequent job transfers during the Zhenguan period.
And Zhao Chen came to the Ministry of Household Affairs, saw Gao Shilian, and immediately handed him the imperial edict: "Old Gao, I am here to ask for money under your majesty's order."
Gao Shilian read the imperial edict: "How much do you want?"
"Not much, let's start with a few hundred million."
Poof!
Gao Shilian squirted out the water in his mouth. He looked at Zhao Chen with shock on his face: "How much do you want?"
How many billions?
Damn it!
Even if we sell the entire household department, we still can¡¯t get it out.
Zhao Chen smiled: "I'm just kidding, how much money is there in the treasury now?"
Gao Shilian frowned: "There are still tens of millions of taels."
Zhao Chen pondered for a moment: "In that case, let's get thirty million taels first."
Gao Shilian almost made Zhao Chen angry to death. He said angrily: "Get out, get out of here!"
Zhao Chen looked shocked: "Lao Gao, that's not it, don't I want 30 million taels?"
Gao Shilian was so old that he almost made Zhao Chen angry to death: "Do you know how much thirty million taels is? Do you think the treasury is opened by your family? When you ask, it's thirty million taels. I tell you, no, don't dream. !¡±
Zhao Chen sighed: "In that case, I will order less, just twenty million taels,"?It cannot be less, otherwise it will not be possible. "
Gao Shilian snorted: "Don't even think about it. Do you want to provide disaster relief with tens of millions of taels? Let me tell you, there are many places to spend money now. Before the earthquake in Songzhou and Congzhou, we made weapons and armor , the subsidy for raising horses, the grain that needs to be purchased to close the warehouse, and the astronomical amount of money invested in road construction every day, do you think it is a lot of money?"
Zhao Chen thought for a moment: "It seems that the treasury money is not enough. In this case, I only need ten million taels. I should have ten million taels, right?"
Gao Shilian said angrily: "No! Do you hear clearly?"
In a hurry, Gao Shilian was forced to speak in dialect.
Zhao Chen was helpless: "Then there's nothing we can do about it. I'll go find your Majesty."
"go together!"
Gao Shilian stared at Zhao Chen fiercely: "If you ask for tens of millions, are you going to defeat the entire Tang Empire?"
Zhao Chen had no choice but to go back to the imperial study with Gao Shilian.
Li Shimin was quite curious when he saw the two of them coming together.
"Your Majesty, you asked your consort to come and ask for money. He wants too much. I cannot bear this responsibility."
"How much does Mr. Zhao want?"
"He wants 30 million!!"
Poof!
Cheng Yao, Jinfang Xuanling and others were all drinking tea, but they all vomited it out.
Changsun Wuji¡¯s eyes widened, and even Li Shimin was dumbfounded.
"How many?"
Zhao Chen seemed a little embarrassed: "Your Majesty, one axis and two cities. It does cost a little money to build this axis, but you can make it back later."
Changsun Wuji immediately said: "No, if you don't make it back, you can't give me the money."
Li Shimin also had a headache. He didn't expect that Zhao Chen would ask for so much. Although the Tang Dynasty had been doing well in recent years and taxes had increased, there were more places to spend money. Just building roads would cost a lot. Flow out.
And now Zhao Chen really scared them when he said 30 million.
Li Shimin was helpless: "Let's do this, Mr. Zhao, I will allocate five million taels to you, and you will handle this matter well."
Zhao Chen was stunned for a while: "Your Majesty, five million taels, but you can't even build a road."
"Then I don't care."
Zhao Chen thought for a moment: "Well, let's do this. When the time comes, all the development rights of this axis will belong to me. I will find a way to make up for the remaining money. When the time comes, the profits will also belong to me, and the land will also be given to me. "
"Okay, okay, Mr. Zhao, as long as you can solve this matter with five million taels, that's fine."
When Zhao Chen left, Li Shimin also felt relieved: "Shi Lian, it's a good thing you came to tell me, otherwise I would have been scared to death." (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
