Hall of Liangyi.

Li Er sat on the dragon chair with a red face, feeling very happy.

Gaochang surrendered, the Western Turks were destroyed, and the territory of the Tang Dynasty was expanded again.

The national strength is also growing stronger day by day.

Faced with all kinds of happy events, Li Er couldn't help but feel happy.

The civil and military officials in the court hall were also overjoyed.

As the saying goes, companionship with a king is like companionship with a tiger, and now Li Er is smiling every day, and they feel a lot more relaxed in their hearts.

Don't worry about taking holy wrath.

"My dear friends, do you have a play?" Li Er looked around the hall and asked everyone with a smile on his face.

At this time.

Li Jing, Minister of the Ministry of War, took a step forward, frowning lightly, and reported: "Your Majesty, I have a report. I would like to ask Your Majesty to buy a thousand horses from the Mangya Ranch in northern Xinjiang for the Xuanjia Army."

Upon hearing the word Mangya, Qin Mu immediately put down the dried fruit in his hand.

He glanced in Li Jing's direction.

Mangya Ranch was established last year, and it is considered to be open now.

When Li Er heard Li Jing's performance, he nodded and waved his hand, "Sure."

It was related to the military, and Li Jing played it himself.

Li Er has no reason not to agree.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Li Jing hurriedly thanked.

however.

Just when Li Jing had finished thanking him, Dai Zhou, Minister of the Household Department, came out with a face full of embarrassment, and said cautiously: "Your Majesty, the Household Department and the Ministry of Officials are discussing the establishment of the Anxi Governor's Mansion, as well as the regional planning of the Western Frontier Region. The national treasury is tight, and the pockets are shy, I'm afraid..."

Changsun Wuji nodded in agreement.

This matter was indeed discussed by him and Dai Zhou.

Naturally, I know that there are not many silver taels in the household department.

Li Jing's smile instantly froze on his face.

If the household department has no money, those war horses will also be ruined, which will be difficult.

Li Er frowned, but he was not thinking well.

Recently, Datang has invested in many projects to benefit the people, and last year, it supported the reconstruction of Jinzhou.

The national treasury was beyond its means and was becoming increasingly empty.

Dai Zhou also tightened his belt to live, and he couldn't blame him.

Qin Mu was also taken aback when he heard the words, and said in his heart what a good guy.

really.

The daily expenditure of the imperial court is huge, and there is no surplus.

At this time.

Li Er took a deep breath, then looked at Li Jing, and asked, "Yaoshi, why did the Xuanjia Army buy a thousand good horses?"

Li Jing replied without hesitation: "Returning to Your Majesty, the son-in-law led the army to attack Gaochang. After the great battle, many horses' hooves are very worn out, and they can no longer go to the battlefield."

The Xuanjia Army is the trump card army of the Tang Dynasty, and it is an invincible heavy cavalry.

At this point something went wrong with the horses.

It is conceivable how much impact it will have on the combat power of the Xuanjia Army.

Li Er is also well aware of its importance.

The matter of the war horse must not be delayed, the money must be paid no matter what, the Xuanjia Army is the ceiling of the Great Tang's combat power.

But as soon as this matter was mentioned, Li Er became very angry.

He only remembered now.

After the kid Qin Mu captured Gaochang.

Not a penny or a grain of grain was confiscated from Gaochang.

Not to mention any war horses.

Not only that.

The Western Turks were also wiped out, and nothing of value was seen confiscated by them.

After a battle, the treasury didn't even see a single hair.

At first, Li Er felt that there was nothing wrong with it.

After all, Gaochang has already surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, so he can't go too far and confiscate all the grain, gold and silver in Gaochang.

Doesn't it have the bearing of a big country?

but.

But Li Er heard that Qin Mu, a bastard, actually copied Qu Wentai's private treasury.

Qu Wentai is the lord of a country, and he is greedy for money and lustful.

The value of his private treasury is immeasurable.

In the end, the bastard Qin Mu returned to Chang'an without saying a word or farting.

Regarding Qu Wentai's private treasury, there is no mention of it.

Thinking of this, Li Er was angry and annoyed.

The day before yesterday, he wanted to talk to Qin Mu about this matter.

As a result, such an important thing was forgotten because of a barbecue.

It's really mad at him.

If Li Jing hadn't suddenly mentioned this matter, he didn't know when he would remember it.

Cooperating with him, he sent troops and horses, and lost soldiers and generals, and his armor and horses were damaged.

All the benefits were taken by Qin Mu, a bastard.

How can there be such a truth in the world, it is really deceiving.

No matter how you say, you are the son-in-law of the Tang Dynasty, why are you so stingy, like a miser when you see money.

Not at all poised.

Li Er thought angrily.

Changsun Wuji stayed in the hall, watching Li Er's face change after another, suddenly remembered something.

Secretly said a bad sound.

He also remembered that Qin Mu copied Qu Wentai's private treasury.

But he didn't mention this to Li Er.

Who can dig out what fell into Qin Mu's hands?

Looking at Li Er's appearance, Changsun Wuji guessed that Li Er was going to make a fuss about it.

I was restless for a while.

At this time.

Li Er also turned his gaze to the corner where Qin Mu was.

At this glance, Li Er laughed angrily.

Good guy.

This bastard really shouldn't enjoy it too much.

Drink the small tea and eat the palace cakes.

This is not coming to court, it is clearly here for vacation.

Li Er was even more annoyed. He looked at Qin Mu with a gloomy gaze, and asked with a sneer, "Qin Mu, I heard that you copied the private treasury of King Qu Wentai of Gaochang. Is there such a thing?"

heard.

Qin Mu put down the cake in his hand and raised his eyebrows, "To tell you the truth, it is true."

The words fall.

All civil and military officials in the court admired Qin Mu's courage very much.

The son-in-law is really addicted to copying the house.

When I saw someone's home, I wanted to go up and copy it.

It's appalling.

Changsun Wuji frowned.

as predicted.

Li Er finally mentioned this matter.

But he can't help much, so Qin Mu can only deal with it by himself.

But according to usual experience.

Qin Mu shouldn't be at a disadvantage.

Think of this.

Changsun Wuji silently blessed Li Er.

But don't be made sick by this kid Qin Mu.

Li Er was immediately laughed angrily by Qin Mu.

Looking at Qin Muyun's indifferent appearance.

Li Er gritted his teeth, "Okay, since that's the case, I don't want all of it, as long as you hand over half of it, it's your contribution to Datang."

"Think carefully about this matter, I'm already polite enough to you."

Li Er said, his words were full of arrogance.

Although he is not a lion with a big mouth.

But it can be regarded as an empty glove white wolf.

How could it be possible to spit out the money that had already been in Qin Mu's pocket so easily?

This is absolutely non-existent.

heard.

Qin Mu smiled nonchalantly, "Your Majesty, during the Jinzhou earthquake last year, Mangya Trading Company purchased a large amount of supplies and provided a large number of banks for assistance. This incident also caused Mangya Trading Company to suffer a serious deficit."

"However, since it was His Majesty who spoke, it is fine for me to pay the money, as long as His Majesty reduces the tax of Mangya Trading Company."

Li Eryi heard that you are not kidding with us?

Tax relief?

Who the hell knows how much you have to lose?

Chapter 429 : Gambling with Li Er (4/5)

"Hi Qin Mu, how much tax have I collected from you since you established Mangya Trading Company? How can I give you relief?" Li Er asked angrily.

Mangya Commercial Firm is very large.

For Datang, the annual tax is an extremely considerable amount.

If it is reduced again.
