Datang: Let you supervise the country and become an emperor through the ages

Chapter 246 I'm Rich!

Li Xiaogong's words made Cheng Yaojin, who was about to become angry and troubled, calm down. Thinking of the tragic situation back then, those present who had experienced that tragedy couldn't help but sigh.

But Li Shimin, who was sitting high on the dragon chair, was a little restless at the moment. He was not worried about Li Jing's return, but worried about the slaves returning from Silla and Baekje.

If I had known this, I should have asked Li Daozong to send more people to take over the slave affairs. Why is there not even a messenger now!
I heard that this time Li Jingguang collected more than [-] Silla maidservants from Silla, and Goguryeo also collected more than [-] slaves. I don’t know if it is like what Fuer said, and they can really sell for a big price!

"Master, I greet Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live, long live!" Li Jing finally came to the Tai Chi Hall, and led the Zhengdong soldiers to kneel down and salute Li Shimin, and Li Shimin woke up from his trance.

As usual, Li Shimin encouraged everyone, and then gave rewards, and then the prisoner offering ceremony.

Seeing that the royal family members from Goguryeo, Silla and Baekje all looked like bereaved dogs, Li Shimin couldn't help but feel proud. Especially when he saw the other party crawling at his feet, his vanity was instantly satisfied.

The three royal families were also stupid. After they entered Chang'an City, they were already in a bad state.

When they were in their respective countries, they thought that the capital of their own country was already the largest and most luxurious city in the world, but after entering Chang'an, they realized that they were wrong.

A big city with a permanent population of more than one million is completely unimaginable to them. These members of the royal family have never seen such a magnificent imperial palace.

When they saw His Majesty the Emperor of Tang Dynasty sitting on the dragon chair in the luxurious and majestic Taiji Palace, they felt even weaker all over, and only knew to kowtow non-stop under the scolding of the eunuch.

After Li Shimin accepted the surrender, he began to feast on the officials. For this kind of banquet after victory, Li Shimin seemed not very interested today, because his heart had long been out of the banquet.

When the banquet was over, Li Shimin, who didn't drink much, immediately returned to the imperial study room, where Jiangxia King Li Daozong was already waiting.

"King Jiang Xia, I'm waiting for you until your hair turns gray, what's the situation?" The moment he saw Li Daozong, Li Shimin's eyes lit up.

Before Li Daozong could salute, he was supported by Li Shimin's hands and asked him to speak quickly.

Jiangxia King Li Daozong took out an account book and presented it with both hands, "Your Majesty, everything is unexpectedly hot. The slaves brought back from the Korean Peninsula have been looted since they stepped into the mainland of the Tang Dynasty."

"Many princes, aristocratic families, and wealthy merchants have subscribed all the slaves in less than three days."

Hearing the news, Li Shimin was already smiling, and when he opened the account book, his eyes widened in an instant.

"My God, you actually increased the price of a Silla maidservant to a thousand guan, and there are people buying it?"

Li Shimin couldn't believe it. He thought that the price of a Silla maid was as high as a horse, about fifty guan, that is, fifty thousand yuan.

But Li Shimin never expected that Li Daozong would actually increase the price so much. He thought about it, could he really sell so many slaves at such a high price?

Li Daozong cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, you don't know. If it weren't for your strict order not to drive up prices, the minister would have wanted to sell them for [-] yuan! Those brothers from aristocratic families are really richer than each other!"

"It's the thousand guan, it's not that the minister deliberately increased the price, but those aristocratic sons and sisters are jealous, and the price they added has nothing to do with the minister. No, you can ask Li Junxian and them!"

Li Daozong's swearing words made Li Shimin understand that he was not lying, it was Li Shimin himself who underestimated the purchasing power of those dandies from the aristocratic family!
Calculated in this way, just 1 Silla maidservants can be sold for 1000 million guan, and one hundred thousand is [-] million guan, plus those of Goguryeo and Baekje, even if the price is lower, the money finally put into the internal treasury is also It will be an astronomical figure!
"Hehehe..." Li Shimin felt a stone in his heart, and finally fell to the ground. He really didn't expect that what Li Fu said was true, and it turned out that he could really make money like this, even if it was a one-shot deal, it was enough for Li Shimin. Been eating it for years!

No wonder Li Fu's eyes glowed green when he thought of doing this.

Li Shimin couldn't help but praise Li Fuhao in his heart, but he knew better what he should do at this moment.

"King Jiangxia, you have done a good job in this matter, keep up the good work!" Li Shimin smiled and patted Li Daozong on the shoulder. Li Daozong instantly understood the meaning behind Li Shimin's words.

Since Li Shimin entrusted Li Daozong to do this business, he is not afraid of him profiting from it. After all, they are all in the same family. As long as Li Daozong doesn't do too much, Li Shimin will naturally turn a blind eye.

"Hmph, when Fang Xuanling and Wei Zheng see so much money, will they still contradict me?"

Li Shimin thought of the scene where Fang Xuanling and Wei Zheng made him almost unable to get off the stage in the court hall that day, with resentment on his face.

At that time, no money was nothing, but now that the money has arrived, Li Shimin's waist has hardened, and he has already begun to figure out how to use the money to knock those bastards unconscious.

"This is His Majesty's wisdom. Those ministers don't understand His Majesty's mind!" Li Daozong praised Li Shimin with a smile, which made Li Shimin even more elated.

"Okay, this matter will still be carried out in secret." Li Shimin was overjoyed, and said to Li Daozong solemnly: "I will ask Duke Wei to cooperate with you and continue to transport slaves from Silla and Baekje, but this matter must be done carefully." Don’t spread it, remember it!”

"I understand, I will definitely keep it secret!" Li Daozong nodded quickly. He didn't know that this matter was taboo and could not be brought to the table, especially when it came to Li Shimin, so he had to be even more careful.

"The minister will resign, and the first sum of money will be put into the treasury tonight, and then please send capable people to your Majesty!" Li Daozong said another thing that made Li Shimin happy.

"Tonight? So soon?" Li Shimin's eyes were almost red when he saw the first batch of the amount put into the warehouse, "Okay, I will let Li Junxian contact you, and we must do everything right!"

When Li Daozong left, Li Shimin couldn't help but growl in the imperial study, he was so excited.

"I'm finally rich, and I don't have to pay for it anymore. I want to build a garden, and I want to choose beautiful women to enter the palace. I can finally do whatever I want..."
