Chapter 149 War Bonds

Li Shimin nodded and continued, "I will consider this beforehand. I have another purpose in this trip, which is to share with you..."

When the words came to his mouth, Li Shimin hesitated again.

Because he remembered Cheng Yaojin's words, if he opened his mouth, wouldn't he become a shameless person?

As an elder, it is a bit too much to borrow money from the younger generation, or even ask for money.

Unexpectedly, Luo Yunsheng had a wise eye like a torch, and he saw Li Shimin's difficulties, "I guess the saint is short of money."

Let me guess whether Tuyuhun was also in trouble and began to show off when we lost in Western Xinjiang?

Did they raid Liangzhou?"

This time it was not only Li Shimin, but even Li Ji was shocked.

Especially Li Ji, he thought to himself, Damn, Damn, this old guy Li Jing has cultivated a monster, right?

He is squatting in a prison and can he know all the big things in the world?

Luo Yunsheng was secretly proud of his liberal arts students. In the eighth year of Zhenguan, Tuyuhun invaded Liangzhou. Li Jing, a teacher who retired in nine years, launched the battle against Tuyuhun. Among them, Li Jing, Zhang Liang, Hou Junji and others made great achievements. This is recorded in historical books. This story is simply a magical tool for middle-aged and elderly customers to brag at the dinner table. How could I not know?

I used this story to brag about the awesomeness at the table with more than 30 groups of customers.

Luo Yunsheng continued: "Your Majesty wants to borrow money to fight, but it cannot be solved by his subordinates alone. Even if he has money, he will not be able to do so.

Because this is not in line with the truth and is even more a way to die. Your Majesty trusts me, and I dare not respond to the imperial edict."

Li Shimin's face looked extremely ugly in an instant, and he thought to himself, "I have told you all the words, what else should I say?"

"Why are all kids so evil nowadays?"

"And the way to die?

Is that kind of petty person?

What's wrong with using the money of a child to support the army to fight a war?

You are my adopted son, you just can’t bear to bear the money!”

Luo Yunsheng ignored Li Shimin's irritability, but continued: "If Your Majesty really wants to fight and does not add taxes to the people, you can try to give some war bonds, using your shares in me as collateral and promise part of the interest. I think not only me, but many nobles will buy it.

Is it like doing business? Don’t always think about spending your own money and work together?

But it is not advisable to borrow money and not pay it back. It is a way to drink poison to quench thirst, and that guy will fish out of the lake."

After saying that, he looked at Li Shimin with a smile.

"Your Majesty starts a war, how can you borrow money from your ministers? Not to mention whether this matter can be accomplished, just spreading it is a joke.

Don’t refuse, your boy. Your Majesty lends you money. It’s natural for the father to take his son’s money.”

Li Ji said annoyedly.

Let the emperor borrow money from his ministers and the people, you are so brave.

Wars are all about losing money, no one knows this.

Where will the saints get the money to pay back?

Li Ji suddenly felt that Luo Yunsheng was just that, too young and took things for granted.

Of course, the main reason is that Li Jiji's family is not rich, but as a military boss, if Li Shimin asked the court officials for money for war bonds, he would definitely not refuse and would have to bleed.

Don't really do it, it's annoying to think about it.

"It's okay, it's okay, tell me in detail, what is your war bond?"

Li Shimin waved his hand and said, looking very generous.

Anyway, he is very happy whether he can borrow money from his ministers or how much he can borrow.

"I am in prison for the Ministry of Justice. I believe my subordinates must be in a panic. I wonder if Your Majesty can allow me to meet several of my subordinates to calm people's hearts."

Luo Yunsheng suddenly asked.

"Okay, I'm going to see your workshop too."

Li Shimin said without any hesitation, "But after reading it, you have to come back and continue to go to jail. On the one hand, you can numb the aristocratic family and reduce your attention to coal stones. On the other hand, it can be regarded as a protection for you, you can understand."

"I understand," Luo Yunsheng said with a smile: "Uncle Li Ji, prepare the carriage. I remember that the Ministry of Justice's judgment also needs to inspect the scene. As the mastermind, I should go there."

Li Ji smiled bitterly, "You guys have many ideas, but you can restrain yourself. It doesn't matter if you live or die. Your Majesty's safety cannot be missed."

Luo Yunsheng said: "Don't worry, all four of my subordinates can defeat Li Junxian. If forty wastes come, wouldn't it be easy to defeat thousands of troops and protect His Majesty's safety?"

Li Shimin laughed and scolded: "Don't talk nonsense, talk about it quickly, what is your war bond?"

The group got on the carriage, and Luo Yunsheng organized the language and said, "In fact, war bonds are not much different from private lending. Your Majesty should know that our Tang Dynasty is not only soldiers who are eager to destroy the enemy country, but even ordinary people want to swallow the flesh of the enemy. But the world is so big that there are only hundreds of thousands of war soldiers available, and not everyone can support the country's foreign war.

Not everyone can enjoy the fruits of victory in the war.

And war bonds provide such a platform and opportunity.”

"If, I say, if, Your Majesty ordered me to issue 500,000 war bonds for the court, and promised to give some interest every year within three years.

Those who own war bonds can be used to purchase Shaofu products first, buy land, cattle and sheep in Tuyuhun, and even pay taxes. Then many people who buy war bonds will be there, from wealthy nobles to ordinary people, they will strive to buy first, because everyone in the world knows that the Tang Dynasty conquered Tuyuhun and only Tuyuhun was defeated. Your Majesty can definitely pay back the money, because Your Majesty you used the shares of the coal mine as collateral, and Tuyuhun also has a lot of land, mines, horses, cattle and sheep and slaves. These are the benefits that war can bring.

"Even His Majesty can start a war without spending a penny.

Use future war proceeds to repay debts.

The most important thing is that there is no need to pay levies, which increases the burden on the people.

At the same time, as long as the person who bought war bonds will be bound by His Majesty to the imperial chariot, they will try their best to support us in winning foreign wars."

"Your Majesty, do you think that this is actually similar to the Qin Dynasty's military merits and title system, but the country does not have to pay more costs, and the initiative is completely in your hands?"

"Well, this method is very instant, but if it weren't for the wise king, I'm afraid that no matter how many war bonds the imperial court issued, it would be useless?

Even the tyrant monarchs will follow suit in the future and use them to harm the people."

Li Shimin thought about it for a while and said to Luo Yunsheng with concern.

"Your Majesty, your concerns are actually redundant. If a fool is a country, let alone a bond, they will go directly to the people's homes to grab it. How can they use it so complicated?"

Luo Yunsheng said, smashing his mouth.

"Too."

Li Shimin kept silent and considered the war bonds that Luo Yunsheng said, while Li Ji looked at Luo Yunsheng silently. He was very curious about how this little guy had a head and wanted to knock it open.

When he really arrived at the workshop, although Li Shimin was still shocked by the workshop's advanced production methods, he had no extra interest, because at this time he was completely attracted by the war bonds mentioned by Luo Yunsheng.

He suddenly felt that if this matter was feasible, it would be just a matter of destroying Tuyuhun and even Tubo.
