Li Shimin's Little Thoughts! Kneel, tip, and comment
After the discussion.
The matter was basically settled.
Cheng Yaojin and the other two would each take 20%, while Lu Yuan would take 40%.
If this were to spread out, it would probably shock many people.
However, with their involvement, the winery incident had turned from a small matter to an alliance between Lu Yuan, Li Shiming, and the others.
Of course.
Lu Yuan was still in charge of this matter.
Apart from Fang Xuanling and Cheng Yaojin, Li Shiming's share was handed over to Zhangsun Wuji. After all, as the Emperor, it was indeed somewhat inappropriate for him.
Moreover,
Li Chengqian was only the Crown Prince, but he was afraid of the doubts of those civil officials.
As the Emperor of the Great Tang, Li Shiming was even more so.
If one day, others knew that the Emperor was secretly doing business, then he, as the Emperor, would probably be drowned in the saliva of the great scholars in the court.
Zhangsun Wuji was both a relative of the country and Li Shimin's confidant.
There was no difference in leaving this matter to him.
Lu Yuan left first in the face of the messy scene.
In the Lotus Garden.
Li Shiming, Fang Xuanling and the other two sat down.
Previously, Lu Yuan thought that he had bumped into them by accident.
Little did they know that Li Shimin and the ministers had gathered here earlier.
Drinking was just a pretense.
One had to know that they were not like Li Chengqian and Fang Yiai, who were the second generation of officials. As the emperor, he was worried about the state affairs all day long. How could he have the leisure to drink and chat?
In reality, Li Shi Min had only summoned these officials to discuss a matter.
The matter was very simple.
Li Shi Min wanted to fight!
That's right.
Perhaps it was because the momentum of the past personal expedition had not passed, Li Shimin had another plan.
In his opinion, the foreign tribes of the northern borders were eyeing them covetously. Although the war had just ended, as long as these foreign tribes were unfair, they would be tasteless all day.
Other than the pressure from the border.
Including the hundreds of thousands of soldiers in the military camp, the huge daily expenses were also a big burden.
It was better to take advantage of the current momentum of victory and attack again.
However…
War costs money.
As the saying goes, food and fodder should be given priority before the troops and horses move.
Apart from competing with the army, money was also an important factor.
But the Great Tang's treasury was already stretched thin.
Now that the war had just stopped, the lives of the people had improved slightly. If the government increased taxes again, it would definitely lead to a miserable life for the people.
Therefore, he had no choice.
Li Shimin was anxious for the ministers to come here, so he asked them to come up with ideas to raise some money in the name of drinking.
That was how the two groups met earlier.
After dispersing the attendants around him, Li Shiming had already returned to his imperial posture and said calmly,"Xuanling, what do you think about Lu Yuan? Can you solve the urgent problem?”
Obviously.
He was referring to the matter of raising money.
After returning to business, Cheng Yaojin and Fang Xuanling's expressions became serious, and the alcohol on their bodies dissipated quite a bit.
Although Cheng Yaojin was very wise, he didn't need to come up with a plan.
At this moment.
He sat quietly at the side and turned to look at his old friend.
Hearing this, Fang Xuanling frowned slightly. After thinking for a moment, he slowly replied,"Your Majesty, I'm afraid this matter is not possible."
"Why?" Li Shi Min asked.
From what Lu Yuan had said, the winery would be very profitable.
With such a treasure, it would definitely make people go crazy.
However, Fang Xuanling was the calmest person in the court, and Li Shiming had never doubted his views. He was waiting for Fang Xuanling's analysis.
After a moment of hesitation.
Fang Xuanling began to explain.
"Your Majesty, if the winery is successful, it will definitely bring great benefits in the future.”
"As the saying goes, distant water cannot quench the present thirst. Not to mention that the winery needs time to prepare, it is not a matter of a day to sell this fine wine.”
"At least a few months, at most a year and a half before we can see the return.”
"In addition, the national treasury has limited rations. If war breaks out again, the military camp will have a huge demand for rations. I'm afraid we won't be able to invest in the winery.”
····
After the time it took to brew a cup of tea.
Fang Xuanling began to analyze the pros and cons.
From the winery itself, the pressure on the military camp, and the grain reserves in the national treasury, all of these problems were raised.
It had to be said.
As Li Shiming's trusted aide, Fang Xuanling had considered all aspects of the situation and was very clear about every aspect.
That's right!
Even if you were working on a money-making project, you still had to have time to prepare.
No matter how good the market was, without the process of accumulation, it would not be able to cause any waves.
More importantly, if you didn't even have enough food and raw materials, and the soldiers didn't even have enough rations, how could they talk about drinking?
As a result, when they heard this, the three of them fell silent.
In the end, Li Shi Min sighed.
Since this matter did not work, he could only hope that the ministers could raise more.
Immediately, he stood up and said helplessly,"Forget it. We'll discuss this matter again tomorrow morning. You can go back first.”
"Yes."
Cheng Yaojin and Fang Xuanling nodded in unison.
After saying this, Li Shiming glanced at Li Chengqian, who was lying on the table, and directly ordered the servant to send him back to the Eastern Palace.
Of course.
He would not be Li Shiming if he let this matter rest after being scolded by his eldest son.
The lesson that followed was naturally unavoidable.
However, in front of his subjects, it was inconvenient for him to do something that would lose his status.
Compared to his actions, Cheng Yaojin didn't care about it at all. He just put the wine pot in his pocket and directly picked up Cheng Chumo and Cheng Chuliang, one in each hand.
Compared to their peers, they were considered to be physically strong.
At this moment, in Cheng Yaojin's hands, they were as thin as two little chicks.
After dispersing.
Fang Xuanling and the other two left with their children, clearly prepared to go back and settle scores.
As for the price they paid for acting tough, Lu Yuan didn't know. At least for a long time after that, he didn't see Cheng Chumo and his brother.
