13. Wei Bo's Bereavement Monument

When Ximen Can heard the emperor's words, he was extremely shocked, but he did not dare to interrupt, so he could only lower his body and remain silent.

The emperor held his hands and smiled again, looking at the plum branches with ice and snow hanging outside the hall, without saying anything more.

In less than three days, the content of the "Chang'an Dibao" about the recent victory against Fan was revealed: how the emperor fought against Gao Yuece, and how he taught the secrets of combat in person. When various Tang troops arrived at the battlefield, how did the emperor devote all his efforts to military expenditure in Zichen Hall. Of course, in the end, the Dibao was based on the "results" divided by Gao Yue, Wei Gao and Ximen Can, and listed the respective merits of the three Tang troops, and everyone was happy.

This mansion newspaper has been printed in a total of 1,000 copies. In addition to the Northern Palace and the Imperial City South Ya, the Jinzouyuan of all towns also received dozens of copies, and the news quickly spread to the local area.

Therefore, the officials sent by the emperor to Xuansuo cooperated with the mansion and all had the confidence and courage.

The Guandongfang Town did not dare to disobey, and they all promoted. Even Huaixi Town was requested 120,000 guan, so the others were of course declining:

Wei Bo Tianxiong Army, conquered 200,000 qian;

The Lulong Army in Youzhou, 180,000 qian were promoted;

The army of Zhenji and formed a German army and promoted 200,000 qian;

Yi Definition of the Wu Army, and delivered 70,000 qian;

The Lu army in Ziqing Ping, contributed 300,000 qian;

Other Shandong, Jingnan, Eyue, Jiangnan, Xidao, Xuanshe and East Zhejiang, which were loyal to the court, also had their own contributions, totaling 500,000 guan;

Du You's Lingnan Road alone paid 500,000 jin, including half of the profits of the Sha Cut business.

In addition, Du You instructed the people from Lingnan to bribe the central officials in the Daming Palace to ask them to send a message to the emperor - Du You hoped to reorganize the Lingnan East Road and Lingnan West Road, and set up the Lingnan Five Prefectures Strategic Envoy according to the old system during the Tianbao period, and of course he would be the Strategic Envoy.

It turned out that the Lingnan Jiedushi mentioned at this time was actually the "Lingnan East Road Guangguan Zhengliang Jiedushi", while the western road also had Gui, Rong, Yong, and Jiao, which was the five prefectures in Lingnan. Du You wanted to reunite the five prefectures.

In fact, it was not only Du You who had this idea. Wei Gao also asked the Zhongguan to pass on a message, hoping to merge Xichuan and Dongchuan, restore the old system during the Tianbao period, and become the governor of Jiannan by himself.

Coupled with Gao Yue's ambiguous words, the emperor also believed that "this senior high school wants to enter the center and become the prime minister."

The great loyal ministers want to further their expectations. Now with the revival of the Tang Dynasty, it is indeed in front of the emperor.

Of course, these requirements are either possible or not, all depend on the emperor's own will, but the most imminent thing is the plan to restore Helong. By relying on the excuse alone, the emperor gathered all the money for the next military operations. When the two million chunks of money were converted into truly valuable gold, silver, cloth and treasures, they were continuously transferred from the Dongwei Bridge to the Daying warehouse corridor of the Daming Palace, and the emperor prepared to summon the Duzhi Pei Yanling, asking him to classify it as soon as possible, most of it used for military affairs in the northwest and southwest, and a small part was used to build temples to commemorate Empress Zhaode.

In fact, the emperor was really frugal. He couldn't bear to use the money he earned.

But before Pei Yanling came, Lu Zhi, the assistant minister of the disciple, came first. He opened the wall and asked to summon him.

That's right, Lu Zhi came specifically for Xuansuo this time.

"Please disperse the small crown prince and become the big crown prince, and do not doubt it!" Lu Zhi looked very firm this time.

The emperor knew what he meant, so he could only smile a little embarrassedly and ask back what is the small deposit and what is the big deposit.

"The internal treasury gathers wealth to be a small reserve, and the military and country are rich as a large reserve. Those who collect money and accumulate treasury and deposit money are just the wealth of ordinary people; those who spread and collect their hearts are the wealth of the emperor."

"However, these are all the surplus money from each road and town. The remaining part after tax payment is paid is given to me. Besides, I have no use to use it for private purposes. These are all sent to the border areas for the military rewards for restoring Helong." The emperor explained.

"Your Majesty, you don't ask what you use, but only ask what you have out of it. It can be seen that the two million guan of money were plundered by the governors of the Fangzhen towns, and the exploitation of the people was more than five million, eight million or even tens of millions of money! If the people were overwhelmed, died, fled, the fields were withered, and the prefectures and counties were destroyed, then Your Majesty wanted to envy the rest, and even wanted to collect two taxes normally, how could you get it? The Li Yuan family is the foundation of the country. If you can keep rich in others, why worry about poverty because of the noble emperor? Therefore, I asked Your Majesty to disperse the small guan to become the great guan. From now on, the Daying Qionglin Inner Cushion will be abolished, and you can store two million pieces of silk every year for Your Majesty's royal use." Lu Zhi was heartbroken.

After so many years, the emperor heard similar remarks and his ears were almost calloused. Yang Yan mentioned it, Li Mi mentioned it, Dou Shen mentioned it, and now Lu Zhi is here to mention it.

The emperor pondered in pain, with a look of embarrassment, "But Daying Qionglin has been operating smoothly over the years. I can only ask for property from the towns in the world for urgent use by the military and the country. Otherwise, except for the fixed amount of taxes, how could these towns accumulate income from the towns in the court?"

"Your Majesty, our Tang Taifu Temple has set up a door-to-door store, a left-to-door store, and a right-to-door store, all are official treasurys. Official salary, military rewards, camp fields, and imperial treasurys come from it. The so-called Daying Qionglin Cuthouse has not been in this system since ancient times. Didn't your Majesty hear the truth of "the emperor does not ask whether there is or not, and the princes do not say much" and "the room of a hundred chariots does not accumulate ministers who gather"? These two treasurys were the people of Emperor Xuanzong, Yuwen Rong, Yang Shenjin, Wei Jian, Wang Hui, and Yang Guozhong, who were greedy for power and profit, and were charming and charming, and were established to support the emperor's private pursuits. Therefore, Emperor Xuanzong was so extravagant and almost ended up losing his country. The lesson was not far away. In the after Xia Dynasty, Your Majesty!"

"..." The emperor was speechless.

Lu Zhi further said, "The wealth is scattered, and the wealth is scattered; the goods are scattered, and they must be scattered. In Your Majesty's inner treasury, treasures are piled up like mountains, but I don't want to see them eventually become bait for the traitors."

The emperor waved his hand, "Lu Jiu, I know you have made good intentions, but now it is an extraordinary time, so I can only do extraordinary things. After the money is sent to the northwest, I will definitely give you a clear answer."

Before Lu Zhi could argue, the emperor hurriedly thought of a trick to change the topic. He mentioned to Lu Zhi: Li Baozhen Sikong of Zhaoyi Army was in the evening, but he still took pills. If he died, Wei Bo Town would inevitably provoke the trouble of the three states of Xing, Ci and Ming. But my elite forces in Tang are now almost all in Longxi, so I ask Lu Jiu to take a slow-down plan.

Lu Zhi asked how to delay the military strategy.

The emperor said, Lu Jiu, you were the "big deal" of the dynasty. Tian Xu, the governor of Wei Bo, was my sister Princess Jiacheng (the daughter of Emperor Daizong). He wanted to write a "Monument to Love". As long as Lu Jiu, you can feel a little wronged for me and write this inscription for Tian Xu as the prime minister, so that Tian Xu will be satisfied, and you will no longer have the intention of rebellion. Then an article can offset 100,000 soldiers and eliminate the disaster invisibly. How about it?
