Zhenguan first year, late at night, Chang 'an Taiji Hall.
"Sigh…I don't have money again, I don't have money again!”
"Money! Money! Money!"
"Everyone says that I'm the chosen one. Why am I always stumped by money?”
Li Shi Min was still reading the memorials under the light, scratching his ears and cheeks, frowning. Who would have thought that Li Er, who had always been a benevolent king in front of others, would be in such a sorry state behind his back.
At this moment, footsteps sounded.
A moment later, a chubby youth stood in front of the table.
"Green Sparrow, what are you doing here?" Li Shi Min raised his head.”
Green Sparrow was the nickname of Fourth Prince Li Tai.
Li Tai saw Li Shi Min scratching his ears and cheeks, and his eyes flashed with sympathy. It had been more than a year since he had transmigrated, and he had developed deep feelings for Li Shiming and the Great Tang. Today, he had finally decided to stand out and become the impregnable fortress of the Great Tang!
"Dad, I've thought it through."
Bang bang bang bang
Li Shi Min slapped the table impatiently,"Call me father! How many times have I said it? What's wrong with you? You're always calling me daddy. Who did you learn to call me that?”
"I've thought it through," Li Tai said indifferently.”
"What have you figured out?"
Li Shi Min couldn't help but look at his beloved son with some doubts.
Li Tai took a deep breath. However, the country's strength did not flourish. The gap between the rich and the poor was too big. The poor could not afford to eat and starved to death on the streets. The rich had a lot of money, but no one knew. The country's annual expenditure was twenty-five million strings, but the annual revenue was only twenty million strings. He was in dire straits. It's time for me, Li Tai, to stand up.”
They were so poor that they starved to death on the streets. No one knew how rich he was.
This sentence hit Li Shiming's sore spot. How could he not know?
Li Tai continued," If a country wants to become rich and strong, it must increase its GDP.”
"What is GDP?"
"It's the national gross domestic product."
" The entire Great Tang is actually rich," Li Tai explained." But there is a phenomenon: there are too many nobles. Ninety percent of the country's wealth was in the hands of ten percent of the people. Moreover, the Great Tang had a serious flaw: the rich didn't spend much. Instead, it was popular to build money cellars. He would store all his money and not spend it even if it was rusted. This…seriously affected the economic circulation of the entire country.”
"I've thought it through. I'm going to take out all their money!”
Hiss--
Li Shi Min took in a breath of cold air.
Li Shimin also knew that this was a serious problem. Everyone liked to hoard money. Li Shimin also knew that hoarding money would affect the circulation of coins in the country. There would be no transactions and no taxes. The country became poorer and poorer.
However, Li Shimin had no way to stop it.
Now that he heard Li Tai say this, he immediately turned pale with fright."Are you going to use the power of the royal family to snatch it? No!"
"Dad, why would I rob someone?" Li Tai laughed. I have my own ways to make them obediently use their money.”
Li Tai took a step forward and suddenly cupped his hands."Father, I've thought it through. From today onwards, I, Li Tai, will go into the sea and do business myself!”
"Impudent!"
Li Shi Min was furious and stood up,"No, I can't. As a prince, you can't do business."
"Why?!"
"Just because you are a prince."
"I am doing business for the prosperity of the Great Tang. Who cares if I'm a prince or a commoner? I'm going!”
"I don't agree." Li Shimin waved his hand stubbornly. How could a prince be tainted with the stench of money? If word gets out, it'll be a joke."
"He's laughing. I'll earn mine."
"I said no means no."
Li Tai's stubborn temper also rose. He walked forward and slapped the table with a bang.
"If I say it's okay, then it's okay. Even if you're my father, you have to do it! Even if you're the God of Heaven, you can't stop me, Li Tai, from serving my country!”
The eunuchs at the side were dumbfounded. The Fourth Prince…had eaten the guts of a leopard!
The entire Taiji Palace fell silent. None of the palace maids and eunuchs dared to breathe.
