"In this hot summer, my own bedroom is the most comfortable!"
In normal years, there would only be one or two ice basins in Liu Deng¡¯s palace. This was not because of anything else, but because in the summer, the price of ice was extremely expensive.
"If it weren't for the fact that he was the acting king of Dai, I would not even be willing to fight for these two.
But it¡¯s different now. There are two large icebergs placed directly in Liu Deng¡¯s palace. The temperature in the entire room is only about ten degrees.
"This iceberg was made by Zhang Tu himself. He said it was because he was afraid that the king would be too hot."
Not only Liu Deng¡¯s place, but also the offices of the courtiers were each given two ice basins as an exception.
¡°The poor people in this country now only have money left. If we don¡¯t spend some money, our banknotes will soon run out of money.
"Your Majesty, the Grand Tutor is cooperating with the Grand Secretary Nong to seek an audience!"
As soon as he lay down on the bed and before closing his eyes, Liu Deng heard the report from the little eunuch outside.
"Invite them in!"
In desperation, Liu Deng could only sit up. Zhang Tu, an old man, had a great change in his attitude towards him now. If it was not an urgent matter, he would not trouble him.
"Old minister Zhang Tu, please see your Majesty!"
"My lord, Zhang Dake is here to see your Majesty!"
"I wonder why you two dear friends are here?"
Seeing the two of them coming together, Liu Deng was a little curious.
He was familiar with this old guy Zhang Tu, but why did the farmer ask him to come over and join in the fun?
"Your Majesty, this money has been flowing into the treasury like a tide recently. The treasury's warehouse is really too small. I'm afraid it won't be able to put it down in another three to five days"
Zhang Dake said with a strange expression.
"What did you say?"
Liu Deng¡¯s face suddenly became strange. It¡¯s troublesome to make too much money.
"We have too much silver. All the copper coins in the treasury have been exchanged for silver, but we still can't put them down"
Zhang Dake said with some distress.
The official warehouse of this generation was built during the reign of Qin Shihuang. Over the years, this situation has never happened.
¡°It¡¯s not because of anything else, it¡¯s just that we are too poor. In many cases, the total amount of money in the treasury may only be a few hundred thousand dollars.
But in recent times, the copper coins and silver have been flowing in like a tide, and they have been piled up in just a few days. But looking at the current situation, I am afraid that there will be more in the next few months. A lot of money flows in.
When Zhang Dake received the news, he also had a weird look on his face, but this was indeed a big trouble, and there had to be a place to put the money.
"That's good. Immediately mobilize the people and start working day and night. According to the current scale of the bank, build me five more, no, ten more!"
Liu Deng thought for a while and then said.
"But Your Majesty, even if we mobilize manpower to work day and night now, after it is completed, it will probably be a few months later. What will we do during this time?"
You must know that building a bank cannot be done carelessly, not only because of the scale, but more importantly, whether it is strong or not.
¡°That¡¯s it, let¡¯s move the money to the palace for the time being. There is so much empty space in the main hall at the back, so let¡¯s just pile it there first!¡±
This is also the last resort. In this whole court, only the palace has free space, and it is convenient for guards.
They were really worried about moving to another place. It seems that too much money is also a problem!
"Your Majesty, do you think we should start preparing now for what the old minister mentioned last time"
Seeing that Liu Deng had solved the problem of too much money, Zhang Tu hurriedly spoke.
After all, the Xiongnu invasion is the real big deal. If the Huns are allowed to march straight in, big things will happen to the country of Dai.
His problem has been solved. Seeing the old man Zhang Tu start to speak vaguely, Zhang Dake immediately knew that he should resign.
"If there is nothing wrong, I will go down to supervise the matter. I will retire!"
After Zhang Dake left, Liu Deng began to think about it.
"Master Taifu, if it were in previous years, what should you do if you encounter this kind of thing?"
Liu Deng thought for a moment, and then? asked.
After all, he is just a modern person. When it comes to making money, he may be much better than Zhang Tu, but when it comes to leading troops to fight in this era of war, he really has no experience.
Liu Deng certainly understands that people advise you to eat enough.
"If it were the same as in previous years, naturally I would immediately ask for support from the imperial court. On the other hand, I would ask for help from the neighboring Liang and Yan countries!"
Zhang Tu said without thinking.
"Then let's do it as we did before. But, Master Tutor, don't you think we are a bit petty in always asking for help from others?"
Liu Deng hesitated for a moment and then said.
"Of course I understand the king's ambitions, but the king, to train a strong army in the world, not only money is enough, but also a general who is good at fighting!"
Zhang Tu sighed and said.
¡°I don¡¯t know if Master Taifu thinks there is anyone in our country who can take on this important responsibility?¡±
Liu Deng¡¯s eyes sparkled and he stared at Zhang Tu seriously.
"Your Majesty, there is no such a strong man in our country! If your Majesty really has this intention, you might as well ask for a favor from your Majesty!"
Zhang Tu hesitated for a moment, and then said.
"I understand, Master Taifu, please go down first. Everything will be prepared as usual!"
Recalling what Zhang Tu said just now, Liu Deng was a little distracted.
He lacks a peerless general. At this time, this big man should have no shortage of powerful generals!
In the second year of Houyuan, General Li Guang should still be a junior captain now!
When he thought of this, Liu Deng suddenly had an idea in his mind. It seemed that he should make some plans for himself.
"This can't be done. Every time the Xiongnu comes, he must ask for help from others. It's too embarrassing to talk about it.
"Your Majesty, Mr. Chao Cuo Chao is outside the door asking to see you!"
It was impossible to sleep, and Liu Deng suddenly became depressed, but this was indeed a good opportunity.
"Here comes someone, please come quickly!"
Anyway, the Huns are coming soon. Although I am not short of money now, I am short of people!
How can we transfer Li Guang to our place quietly?
That guy has just emerged. According to historical records, he is just a lieutenant general now. He should be very inconspicuous. How can he get this guy into his hands?
"Chao Cuo has met King Dai!"
"Master Chao, you are too polite. How about it? Are you still used to it these days?"
This time, Liu Deng did not make a mistake in fixing Chao. The food, clothing, housing and transportation were all given the highest treatment.
"Your Majesty is too polite. Chao Cuo is really grateful for the King's care these days. But now that my mission has been completed, it's time to go back and report to His Highness the Crown Prince!"
Chao Cuo is leaving now?
Liu Deng thought, this is an opportunity! (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading? Add this book to your favoritesI'm a member and bookmarked this chapterCopy the address of this book and recommend it to your friends for pointsChapter error? Click here to report
