"Imperial Residence, help me move the national treasury!!”
Boom!
Li Shi Min's words were like a thunderclap that struck the minds of all the officials, shaking the entire hall.
"Your Majesty, you can't do that. The national treasury is the foundation of the country. The country can't run without money.”
"Your Majesty, you can't move the national treasury. You can't be bewitched by demons.”
"Demon, tell me, what is your purpose?”
"Please reconsider, Your Majesty."
"Your Majesty, please reconsider."
……
The civil and military officials shouted at Li Shimin.
Some persuaded, some begged, and some even pointed at Li Mu…
“……”
Li Mu glanced at the group of civil and military officials in front of him, who seemed to have exploded, and the corners of his mouth twitched. How did he become a 'demon'?
He was helping them.
If the Great Tang could annihilate the Turks without expending a single soldier, the territory, wealth, and population they would obtain…could a treasury compare?
Not only that, now that the Turkic army was pressing down on the border, the Great Tang would surely send troops to fight, right? This would not only waste manpower and money, but it would also cost them heavy casualties.
How could a small treasury compare to this?
"Shut up."
Li Shi Min's fierce eyes swept across all the officials below and he shouted, his entire body exuding a majestic aura.
He had to admit that he had the same thoughts as Li Mu.
If they could take down the Turks without expending a single soldier, how could the wealth of the national treasury compare?
A bunch of idiots, they were simply short-sighted.
After hearing Li Shiming's words, all the officials lowered their heads in silence. They didn't dare to persuade him anymore. They could only curse Li Shiming in their hearts. He was playing with fire.
If a country did not even have a single copper coin in its treasury, would it still be a country?
"Imperial Residence, go and get someone to help me move the national treasury over.”
Li Shi Min trembled.
"Yes, yes…Your Majesty."
A senior official rushed out.
Not long after, soldiers came in carrying loads of square coins (or copper coins).
These square-hole coins were tied up with ropes. One thousand coins were a Yi Guan, which weighed about four catties. It piled up into a small mountain in the hall.
“……”
Li Mu was stunned.
Fortunately, he had a storage space and could exchange it for points in the mall. Otherwise, he would have to bring all this money back. It was unimaginable.
"Your Majesty, the total is fourteen thousand eight hundred and twenty-three strings, plus three hundred and twenty-two copper coins.”
The Imperial Residence counted for a long time and wiped the sweat from his forehead before giving a number.
"President, what do you think…"
Li Shi Min immediately looked at Li Mu.
The meaning was obvious. Are you satisfied?
"If that's the agreement, then so be it.”
Li Mu nodded.
Although he did not know how many points this pile of square hole coins could be exchanged for, such a huge pile should be able to exchange for a lot, right?
"Then President, the 'thing' you mentioned?”
Li Shiming looked at Li Mu again.
Now that the money was here, he was not stupid. He wanted to see what Li Mu could use to annihilate the Turks without expending a single soldier.
"How about this? Didn't you say that the Turks were harassing the Great Tang's borders? I'll go with you. When we get there, I'll summon them for you to see and wipe out the Turks.”
Naturally, Li Mu couldn't summon Gomora here.
Firstly, this small palace hall couldn't fit Gomora's tens of meters tall body.
Secondly, he didn't want to cause a sensation and fear among the people, which would then cause panic among the people. If they said that a monster had appeared in the Imperial Palace, people with ill intentions would say that it was an ominous sign.
In this era, the people's hearts were extremely important, and they believed in ghosts and gods. If the monster appeared in the palace, Li Shimin might become the target of everyone's crusade.
"This…"
Li Shiming immediately pondered.
He had to admit that he was a little hesitant.
"Don't worry, with my ability, if I wanted to harm you, you would have already lost your life.”
Li Mu smiled when he saw Li Shiming's hesitation.
"Alright, then I'll believe you this once.”
Li Shi Min came back to his senses, his expression resolute.
Li Mu was right. With his ability to build a connection in his mind and travel from one world to another... If he wanted to harm him, he would already be dead.
"Deputy Duke Li Jing, listen up. I order you to be the general manager of the army and immediately gather the soldiers. I want to personally conquer the Turks and kill all those Turkic thieves.”
Li Shi Min turned around and looked at the officials below, his entire body radiating with the aura of an emperor.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
A Jin Han general stood out.
"Your Majesty, you must not…"
"Your Majesty, please reconsider…"
The group of civil officials were shocked and immediately jumped out.
"Violators will be beheaded."
Li Shi Min's eyes flashed with lightning as he shouted.
At this moment, Li Shi Min looked like he had just returned from a battlefield of slaughter. His entire body was emitting an irresistible cold aura.
The civil officials immediately shrunk their necks like ducks being strangled. Their voices were all stuck, and they were as quiet as cicadas in winter.
The entire hall was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop.
"Hurry up and go!"
Li Shi Min looked at Li Jing.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Li Jing was shocked.
"Wait a minute."
At this moment, Li Mu spoke.
"President, do you have any other instructions?”
Li Shiming immediately looked at Li Mu respectfully as if he was a different person.
This huge difference in attitude made the civil and military officials below dazzled.
"I said that we won't waste a single soldier, so we won't waste a single soldier. Just find a few generals to go with us, two fast horses each.”
Li Mu looked at Li Shiming calmly.
This time, he was using monsters to fight. Having too many people was simply wasting time and slowing down the progress.
"This…is good."
Li Shi Min hesitated for a moment before nodding.
Because now, he was unconditionally convinced of Li Mu.
Li Shimin then turned to the officials below and began to count."Li Jing, Cheng Zhijie, Yuchi Jingde, Qin Shubao, Hou Junji…"
