When it comes to money and grain, the king of Tang has a headache.
After years of war, the original rich granary has bottomed out. Most of the money in the Treasury is used in military barracks, but there is not much left.
The king of Tang did not know how much Tang Hao needed to build the ocean going ship.
Thinking of this, even the high king of Tang sighed helplessly.
At present, we can only make do. Let''s take one step at a time.
The Minister of household hurried to the front, washed the figure on the cooling chair and saluted in a hurry.
"I have seen your majesty."
Lift your arm gently and the king of Tang opens his mouth slowly.
"No!"
"Tell me, what''s the problem with the household department?"
The Minister of household frowned and looked dignified on his face.
"Dingbei Hou said that he wanted to build houses and live for those shipbuilding craftsmen. He needed to allocate 100000 yuan of money to the court."
what?
The king of Tang immediately straightened himself from the cool chair.
"100000 Guan?"
Suddenly, the king of Tang heard wrong!
Not to mention living for these craftsmen, even the princes and ministers in the imperial city built the government house, which cost only 30000 yuan!
It sounds a little boundless!
Seeing the surprised performance of the king of Tang Dynasty, the Minister of household also frowned and bowed his hands.
"Indeed, your majesty!"
"Shipbuilding involves a lot. Dingbei Hou digs mines, hoops brick kilns, and organizes local villagers to dig yellow mud. These are all matters that need to spend a lot of money."
"There''s a little more than 100000 Guan. Weichen didn''t dare to approve it privately. Then he hurried to report it."
After hearing this, the king of Tang frowned high, as if he were meditating.
The house has just been built, and the shadow of the ship is not at all. Should it cost 100000 yuan?
Father Rong beside him knew that the king of Tang wanted to dominate all countries, but at this time, there was no advice from empress Chang sun. He was afraid that the king of Tang would be hot for a while, although he reminded him.
"Your Majesty, this is a little more."
"This year''s taxes have not yet been collected, and there are still many places to use money. I''m afraid I can''t spare so much money."
The king of Tang naturally understood what father-in-law Rong said and raised his eyes slightly.
"Minister of household, agricultural revenue and expenditure, what''s the situation?"
The Minister of household twisted his old face, as if the 100000 Guan came from his house, and sighed.
"Your Majesty, the Northern Territory has only been recovered. It is reasonable for the Turks to live on the grassland, but the broken cities, damaged fertile fields and roads on the northern border need to be repaired."
"The water conservancy of the Guanzhong generation also needs to be reorganized. In addition to the repair of the river channel some time ago, there is not much left in the Treasury above the chaotang."
"Especially in recent years, the annual revenue of 2 million yuan of chaotang is really not enough. Last year, it still used the coins accumulated in previous years."|
Hearing this not optimistic situation, King Tang''s face became tangled.
Tang Hao was also ordered to work. Without money, it would be difficult for the shipbuilding industry to take shape.
But if money is allocated, many people-friendly policies of the Tang Dynasty hall will be tight!
If we fail to allocate funds, we will feel sorry if we do not allocate funds. It has become a difficult problem at the time.
Pondering for a moment, the king of Tang waved slowly.
"This boy is really a lion! I don''t know the difficulty of the hall!"
"Allocate 10000 Guan, and let him solve the others by himself."
After listening to the Minister of household, he hesitated a little, but when he saw the gloomy face of the king of Tang, he didn''t dare to say more and bowed his hands.
"Old minister, take orders!"
After taking away the Minister of household, father-in-law Rong slowly came forward, looked at the meditative figure and said cautiously.
"Your Majesty, after all, this shipbuilding matter is very important. I''m afraid it''s difficult to solve the big problem with 10000 yuan of money."
"Among the old ministers, if we don''t allocate part of the charcoal mined by the Bingzhou government to Tang Hao, we can also relieve Tang Hao''s pressure."
"What''s more, calling the soldiers of Yangzhou government to mine would have violated the government''s duty to protect the territory and serve the people. I''m afraid it will cause some bad public opinion in the court."
This speech seems to solve the problem, but it is an excuse for the king of Tang.
After all, the king of Tang also knew that ten thousand Guan was a drop in the bucket for shipbuilding.
However, from the side, there are not many places where charcoal is used in the royal family, and the local government of the state is rich in charcoal.
These charcoal were sent to support Tang Hao''s supervision of shipbuilding in a disguised form.
When you don''t spend money, it can fully reflect chaotang''s attention to shipbuilding.
Sitting in a cool chair, the king of Tang smiled and said with a comfortable eyebrow.
"That makes sense!"
"River transportation has been opened up, and it doesn''t take much manpower and material resources to transport charcoal."
After that, the king of Tang raised his head and looked happily at father-in-law Xiang Rong.
"You can fly pigeons to deliver books to Binzhou and transport half of the quarried charcoal to Yangzhou for Tang Hao''s use."
"In addition, those saltpeter stones are also sent. Send Tang Hao a secret letter to tell him about the firearms. Don''t leave them!"
"I want to see some improvement in three months!"
The king of the Tang Dynasty readily accepted it, and father-in-law Rong smiled and bowed his hands.
"Your Majesty, Shengming!"
