Even if he could do it, he wouldn't be free to find a job for himself. He has such a personality and is used to being undisciplined.

"Is there still a way to add something?" Li Shimin continued to ask.

"If you need money urgently, I think you can get a loan from the money bank." Yuan Shan said.

"Loan? I heard that you made it up. Let's talk about how to get a loan." Li Shimin asked.

"It's very simple. It is to use items as collateral. If the imperial court borrows money, treasures and fixed assets can be used as collateral, and the loan amount will be provided according to the value of the mortgaged items." Yuan Shan said.

Li Shimin became interested and asked, "How much can you borrow at most?"

"In the name of the imperial court, at least 100 million guan can be loaned out." Yuan Shan said.

In fact, a higher amount is also possible, but in that case, a large part of the funds of the money bank will be directly spent, which is not very beneficial to the operation.

Because a lot of the money was paid by his Yuan family, in other words, the Yuan family is the creditor.

"It's quite a lot. It's just that the imperial court borrows from the imperial court's money bank. It really doesn't make sense. Why not just use the money and exchange it back when the time comes." Li Shimin said.

"Your Majesty, the money bank needs to be operated. To put it simply, it needs to make money. Take the treasury as an example. The treasury relies on taxation to increase money. The money bank relies on its operating items to make money, and borrowing is its operating item. If you only take interest and do not charge interest, it will affect the operation of the money bank, especially if the amount is large, the bank will go bankrupt more easily." Yuanshan explained.

For the emperor to do such a thing as free food and free food is justifiable. If this is the case, what is the reason?

"You're right, but is there no other way?" Li Shimin asked.

"Your Majesty, money matters require patience. As long as Datang encourages business development, the treasury will receive more and more tax revenue. It seems that there is no need to worry about it for a while." Yuan Shan continued.

"Well, what you said is very reasonable, but I still want to hear your thoughts on making money, whether it can make the business develop faster, I am looking forward to it." Li Shimin said.

Yuan Shan was a little stunned, and he was still developing. A Ministry of Economics and Development had already set up civil and military vigilance in the Manchu Dynasty. There were really big disturbances. He might be ripped off by the ministers. He didn't want to do this. Dry.

Li Shimin fell into thinking. In fact, he knows best how difficult it is to develop the economy. If he hadn't stood up to the ministers in the court, Yuan Shan would not have achieved what he is today.

"Since this is the case, let's think of other ways. I also want to prevent it from happening. The national power of the Tang Dynasty is still too weak. After a battle, it consumes so much." Li Shimin sighed.

If these cold weapons were replaced by the past, the consumption of these cold weapons would not be as it is now. The use of firearms made Datang stronger, but the consumption was also huge.

Being an emperor means a lot of pressure.

"Your Majesty, I think it is safest to speed up the sea trade. Not only Fusang, Silla, but also Luzon area is a place where the Tang Dynasty can trade. The rice there is very rich, and some porcelain can be exchanged for a lot of supplies. If If there is a chance, you can even occupy it and become my Tang territory, so that it will be done once and for all." Yuan Shan said.

"Oh? Tell me." Li Shimin became interested.

"Yes, the so-called cannon fire, golden ten thousand taels..."

The dinner was eaten in the palace, and Li Shimin was very happy. The next day, in front of the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, the prefectural railway track was to be added. Now the railway from Chang'an to Luoyang has been built, and it is now extending to Cangzhou, half of which has been built. , but the production speed of locomotives will not be fast, especially the consumption of materials for Tubo, which takes up a lot of manpower and material resources of the Military Weapons Supervision.

But now that the war has been won, the project will continue. The Luoyang Railway will be put into use soon, and the newly added railway line will still be built in the direction of Sichuan, which requires a lot of money.

Today Li Shimin went to court to discuss this matter with the ministers, but the difference is that this project will be carried out as a fixed project, which means that the national treasury will be invested in proportion to each year.

As soon as this idea of ​​proportional expenditure was spoken out, the ministers fell into heated discussions.

Factions soon split.

One side agrees, but the investment cannot exceed the quota, and the other side opposes it. They must have sufficient funds in the treasury to ensure the stability of the Tang Dynasty.

So as soon as the two sides discussed, the matter was delayed again. Li Shimin also lacked interest in seeing such a situation.

However, the investment in the railway tracks is still implemented. Even if the investment cannot be made according to a fixed ratio, the construction must cost money, and only a large one-time expenditure can only be made from the national treasury. The other ratio of investment was discussed with the Ministry of War.

Hou Junji is very much in favor of it. If the annual military expenditure is invested, he, Minister of the Ministry of War, will have money. There will be a new situation in the development of soldiers and horses and the construction of Tang soldiers and horses. Moreover, according to Li Shimin's intention, the treasury will spend the maximum amount of money. A fixed amount is used for military expenditure.

As soon as this news came out, Hou Junji couldn't sit still, the maximum amount of expenses, wouldn't it mean that the Ministry of War could become independent in the future?

Li Shimin just let out his mouth to test it out, and a huge vortex was set off in the court.

As for Yuan Shan, he was still at home with his wives, admiring flowers every day, was forced to go shopping, and even took them to the dance hall.

Although I went to watch a performance in a private room, this move once again attracted the attention of the ministers.

Some people began to criticize him, saying that he was immoral and so on, but Yuanshan ignored them at all, which made the commenters embarrassed.

Even more powerful.

And the most serious consequence directly caused by the incident was that Yuwen Shihe personally came to the door to teach Yuan Shan a lesson.

But Yuanshan couldn't resist yet, he felt that having such a grumpy father-in-law was a problem. The old man came here every day, not to mention the relationship was a lot closer, with Yuanshan's three-inch tongue , but changed the old man a lot.

"Yuan Shan, the Immortal is ready to get drunk. If you don't get drunk today, you won't return." This is what Yuwen Shiji said when he entered the door.

The people in the house immediately went to arrange it. No one can afford to offend this rightful lord, even his own master.

"Daddy, today I have your favorite braised pork." Yuwen Linglong said playfully.

"Okay, okay, good girl," Yuwen Shi said.

Chapter 834 Development of Tuyuhun

"Father-in-law, the immortal is drunk." Yuan Shan came over with a small wine jar and flattered him.

Yuwenshi and the old man laughed, and immediately said: "There is wine and meat, it is very beautiful, fill it up quickly."

"Yes." Yuan Shan served him personally, and his attitude was really good.

The elders are respected, Yuwen Zhongshu came to have a drink, all the Yuwen sisters came to accompany him in ancient times, the old man was in good spirits, Yuan Shan was very happy, eating and drinking was not a problem, anyway, he was not short of money.

"Yuanshan, I still have something to talk about today." Yuwen Shiji said.

"What's the matter?" Yuan Shan asked.

"How do you arrange the captives in Tuyuhun? I heard that there are as many as 5 people. The number of officers and soldiers staying behind takes up a lot of places, and the expenditure is very high." Yuwen Shiji said.

"It's indeed a problem, but they can't be put back, otherwise the Battle of Tuyuhun will be a waste of time. I think the land left behind is used for trade with Tubo. As for the captives who are serving now, let them cultivate them In theory, it takes five years to work on the public land, but in fact, Lanzhou will provide resettlement for those who have worked in Lanzhou for three years.” Yuan Shan said.

Yuwen Shiji thought about it, he didn't know the situation in Lanzhou very well, so he said: "You can write a memorial to His Majesty later on this matter, and the old man will go to Liangzhou to take a post soon. After the old man leaves, you have to help Take care of Yuwen Mansion."

"Father-in-law, don't worry, Wanrou Linglong will pass by, it won't be very convenient to go inside." Yuan Shan said.

Yuwen Shiji was happily sent back to his house after drinking.

Yuwen Wanrou came over and said, "Husband, I'm so glad my father talked to you about something."

"I didn't say anything. You'll be happy when you drink too much. Let someone come over and clean it up." Yuan Shan said.

……

Regarding the matter of the Tuyuhun people, Yuanshan wrote a memorial the next day, saying that 5 people are all reclaiming public land. It is unrealistic to reduce the convenience of Lanzhou and reduce the number of people stationed.
