Li Shimin smiled with satisfaction, then cast an admiring look at Du Ruhui.

"What Keming said is true!"

Then, Li Shimin looked at Liu Zhenghui.

"Shangshu of the Household Department, you allocate some money from the Household Department to the Ministry of War, so that the Ministry of War can have money and food for training." Li Shimin said.

The Household Department is in charge of national household registration, land, taxation, money and food, etc. Liu Zhenghui is equivalent to the current Minister of Finance, and the emperor always asks him for money.

Liu Zhenghui had already colluded with Li Shimin in the Imperial Study Room yesterday, and today he just pretended to play tricks on other ministers.

Liu Zhenghui came out and pretended to be embarrassed: "Your Majesty, there were several catastrophes last year, the tax revenue was not good, and then the relief was given to the victims. The treasury is now empty...I really have no money to allocate to the Ministry of War!"

Li Shimin pretended to be shocked: "What! The household department has no money? How could this happen!"

The ministers below are all from aristocratic families, and they are all from the rich N generation. They gloated and looked at Li Shimin with a look of fun. Did you just find out that you are poor today?

"How can this be done! The war with the Turks may break out one day. How can we do it without money for military training! Dear friends, how do you solve this matter?"

Forehead?
Why do these words get more and more wrong the more you hear them, this is the rhythm of spreading this matter on their heads again!
These ministers remembered the responsibility system for disaster relief last time!
It was obvious that Li Shimin was going to issue an imperial edict, but somehow, the disaster relief became their business!
Let them have to take out money and food to help the victims!When it's over, it cooperates with Li Shimin's work-for-relief, and builds water conservancy for Li Shimin in vain!

It's heartbreaking!
Therefore, at this moment, these ministers are all pretending to be deaf and dumb, shrinking in their positions one by one, pretending that they are a little transparent... The emperor can't see me, the emperor can't see me...

"My dear friends, why are you silent?"

Seeing that the ministers were too frightened to speak, Li Shimin was so happy!

These ministers usually ask for this and that. Unexpectedly, they also have today?

Fang Xuanling continued to cooperate, pretending to be helpless and said: "Your Majesty, the matter of money and food is the most important problem. I think, can you let the ministers take the lead in donating money, so as to drive other aristocratic families to donate together?"

He has caught the weakness of the aristocratic family. When it comes to donating money, he will definitely not dare to make a sound. This is what Li Shimin wants!
Give you a shot first!Don't worry, everyone will come to oppose his opening of a bank!
"I usually treat you well, but now that my Tang Dynasty is in trouble, why are you all dumbfounded?" Li Shimin sarcastically said.

Because, no matter how much they scolded them, they didn't dare to retaliate. Whoever spoke first would be the one who would give up, and they didn't dare to retaliate.

Among the ministers here, most of them are ministers recommended by aristocratic families, and some are founding heroes.

"Your Majesty, my old Cheng family has some spare money, and I am willing to donate it all!" Cheng Yaojin was the first to take the lead.

"The minister is also willing!" Qin Shubao and I came out and said.

Subsequently.

Other founding heroes also came out one after another, taking the lead in donating money.

These founding heroes wanted to do something practical, to relieve Li Shimin's worries, but they didn't have enough money on hand!
Cheng Yaojin looked at these ministers, you look at me, I look at you, I can't fart for a long time, it's them poor clanging founding ministers who come out to donate money, and those who have money are like turtles went.

"Oh! I'm really anxious to death, old Cheng!" Cheng Yaojin was a hero in the founding of the country, but he didn't have any money on hand, so he was anxious at the bottom.

Cheng Yaojin wanted to destroy the Turks a long time ago, but now that the Tang Dynasty's treasury is empty and there is no money to fight, he is really anxious to death.

"Old Cheng, stay calm and don't be impatient. Let's wait and see if other ministers speak up." Qin Shubao reminded Cheng Yaojin.

However, this Cheng Yaojin is a bull-tempered person. Seeing that no one has come out to speak for so long, he hurriedly grabbed a minister next to him, stepped out, and said, "Mr. Lu, I heard that you paid a favor last month." Lou’s oiran spent 1000 taels of gold! Your family is so rich, if you don’t donate this time, my old Cheng won’t agree!”

Lu Langzhong was carried out by Cheng Yaojin, his skin was tender and tender, but it hurt when Cheng Yaojin grabbed it.

"Cheng Yaojin! You, you, you! Let go! My hand is about to break!" Lu Langzhong shouted.

Cheng Yaojin let go, his fingers rattled, and looked at Langzhong Lu like a bandit.

Lu Langzhong was not convinced, he looked up at Li Shimin and said: "Your Majesty, although our Lu family seems to have a big business, but it has long been short-lived. My family is poor!"

Marrying an oiran cost a thousand taels of gold, and said he was poor!Open your eyes and talk nonsense!
This Lu Langzhong relied on his backing to the Lu family, and Li Shimin couldn't do anything to him, so he dared to speak so perfunctorily.

Cheng Yaojin was so angry that he wanted to use three tricks!
"Okay! Don't cry poorly in front of me!" Li Shimin snorted coldly.

"I knew that you couldn't be counted on for this country's major affairs! I have a way to solve this urgent need!"

When these ministers heard that Li Shimin had his own way, they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. They stood aside and listened quietly. As long as they don't steal their family's money, everything can be negotiated!

Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, and Liu Zhenghui all looked at each other, knowing that, Your Majesty, please start your performance!
"My solution is very simple, that is - open a bank!" Li Shimin said with a calm smile.

"Your Majesty, what is this bank?" Fang Xuanling continued to pretend to be confused.

"I haven't heard of it either!" Du Ruhui echoed.

The other ministers also found it new, and had never heard of the money bank. However, as long as you don't steal money, you can do whatever you want. We are only people who eat melons.

"This bank is..." Li Shimin relayed what Yang Zhuo said about the bank to the ministers.

"This is Qianzhuang, dear friends, what do you think?"

After Li Shimin finished speaking, Eunuch Su thoughtfully brought a cup of cold water, and Li Shimin took a sip to moisten his throat.

The ministers below were stunned for a few minutes, and then whispered in shock, discussing the matter of the bank!
They were surprised, what happened to Li Shimin recently?It feels like being possessed by a great god!
How do you feel that he has become so powerful all of a sudden?
He was obviously born as a military commander, and he usually just followed advice, but now he is so smart and close to a demon!
From the previous responsibility system for disaster relief and work-for-relief, to the attack on Liang Shidu later!Going to the back, suddenly, without anyone noticing, the Turkic iron-blooded cavalry was wiped out!
Now it's opening a bank again!
God!This emperor is incredible!
