Doing business with the emperor?
Li Shi Min was stunned for a moment before he smiled.
I'm sitting right in front of you.
However, what Qin Chuan said was right. He was really tempted and really intended to agree to this matter.
At the same time, he was also curious as to why Qin Chuan would say such a thing and be so certain that he, as the Emperor, would do this business.
"You said that the current emperor would use his personal name to do business with you?”
Qin Chuan rolled his eyes at Li Shimin." Are you stupid?!" The current emperor was an emperor on horseback. He was good at fighting and knew military affairs. If he knew that this wine was so effective, would he not promote it in the army?”
Li Shi Min's life in the military was like a cheat!
He had joined the army at the age of seventeen and fought bravely for more than ten years. He had been in countless dangerous places and his warhorses had been shot by twenty arrows, but he was unscathed. He had conquered the south and the north, taking over half of the Great Tang's territory!
He ascended to the throne at the age of 28, and he relied on his powerful military ability to launch a coup and seize the throne!
Li Shimin's military talent was so outstanding that it left behind a sentence of praise in history:
Since ancient times, there is no one better than Li Shimin in terms of military ability, followed by Zhu Yuanzhang!
(Those who have different opinions on this sentence can check who said it.)）
"Since the Han Dynasty, the imperial court's treasury and the emperor's treasury have been separated.”
"The imperial court's treasury is used to maintain the operations of the imperial court and the country. It is basically used for the construction of various facilities throughout the country, the payment of salaries to officials and soldiers, disaster relief, and the improvement of people's livelihood.”
"But the internal treasury is different. The internal treasury is the emperor's private purse. The expenditure of the internal treasury is used for the emperor's personal food and daily life.”
"Think about it, if those soldiers guarding the border saw the warm royal wine personally prepared for them by His Majesty the Emperor, what would they think?”
"Then all of you should be grateful and cry out long live for the emperor!”
"How can the wine sent in the name of the imperial court be the same as the wine sent in the emperor's personal name?”
"Moreover, the emperor is extremely poor now!”
"Didn't they let three thousand palace maids out of the palace last year? The expenses of the palace are all paid for by the Emperor's own treasury. If he had money, why would he let so many people out of the palace!”
These words made Li Shi Min feel uncomfortable.
Damn it, he had hit a sore spot.
Everyone thought that Tian Zi was rich, but he was actually a pauper!
He was the first emperor in China to let so many palace maids out of the palace!
If he wasn't so poor that he couldn't support so many people, he wouldn't have done such a shameful thing to the emperor!
"Although the imperial court has already destroyed the Buddha, it is a major event of the court and is carried out in the name of the country. The money and grain obtained from the destruction of the Buddha will not enter the emperor's treasury, but the imperial court's treasury.”
"In the end, the Emperor is still a pauper.”
“......”
Li Shi Min gritted his teeth.
F * ck, can we still chat happily?
Can you not bring up the matter and keep sprinkling salt on his wound!
"Think about it, if the emperor had money, wouldn't the palace be able to raise as many palace maids as it wanted?”
"Let alone letting 3,000 palace maids out of the palace, it doesn't matter if we recruit another 3,000 palace maids into the palace!”
"Forget about mere palace maids, the three palaces, six courtyards, and seventy-two concubines can all be arranged!”
"Back then, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty couldn't live without a woman for a day, and Emperor Huang Xuanyuan also had 3,000 concubines. As long as you had money, you could have so many concubines in the palace!”
"Not only can I raise palace maids and concubines, but I can also build palaces and gardens for myself!”
"Isn't the current emperor still living in the Eastern Palace? If he had money, why would he be bullied by the Retired Emperor?”
" Do you know why the emperors who built palaces in the past dynasties were scolded by the civil officials for building houses on a large scale and wasting money and manpower? They were even labeled as incompetent emperors and tyrants a hundred years later.”
"That's because the money spent by these emperors to build the palaces was taken out of the national treasury, and the migrant workers who built the palaces were all corvee sent by the imperial court.”
"If the emperor had money and used his own money to build a palace, the people who built the palace would also be paid for their wages. Those civil officials in the court would dare to say a word of nonsense and say that it would be a waste of money and manpower to build a palace! He can even break my legs!"
"We are spending the money of the palace treasury, not the money of the national treasury. It will not increase the burden on the national treasury, nor will it increase the tax pressure on the people. Hiring the people to work can also increase the income of the people. Isn't this what a wise ruler does!”
"If the national treasury is in short supply, the emperor can still use his own money to subsidize the national treasury, solve the difficulties of the court, and comfort the people of the world!”
"How can the ministers in the court not respect the emperor's benevolence? How can the people not thank the emperor for his holiness?”
"If you do business with me, not only will the emperor be deeply loved by the soldiers, but he will also have money to live a rich and enjoyable life. He won't have to worry about the remonstrance of the civil officials and officials, and he will also be able to obtain the support of the officials and the respect of the people!”
"After enjoying a hundred years of peace and happiness, not only will I not be cursed as a bad ruler, but I can also fight for the reputation of a wise ruler and leave my name in history!”
"How can the current emperor not be tempted by such a profitable business? How can he not do business with me?”
"Gulp!"
Li Shi Min swallowed his saliva and saw stars in his eyes. He had already fainted from Qin Chuan's flatbread.
If Li Shiming had money, why would he release so many palace maids? He could arrange as many palace maids as he wanted!
If he had money, why would he have to suffer his father's wrath? He could just build another palace!
It's up to you whether you want to move or not. Rajiba, I have the money to build my own palace!
Spending my own money, how dare Wei Zheng and those trolls say a word of nonsense! I can't beat him to death!
There was money in the treasury and financial freedom. He could spend it however he wanted and create it however he wanted. He did not have to worry about the advice of the ministers in the court!
Not only would he not have to worry about remonstrance, but he would also gain the reputation of a wise ruler and be sought after by the current dynasty. After his death, he would be revered by future generations!
This kind of life was simply too awesome!
There had never been an emperor who enjoyed pleasure and thrift!
For the sake of his own enjoyment, the emperor basically levied exorbitant taxes, causing the hearts of the people to be scattered and boiling with resentment. A hundred years later, it was difficult to escape the infamy of a fatuous emperor.
And the thrifty Emperor, although he managed his household thriftily and was content with benevolent government, earning him a good reputation in the history books, his life was too miserable.
Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty was the emperor of a dynasty, but he actually wore straw sandals to work, and even his dragon robe was patched!
If he could take care of both, not only could he live a comfortable life, but he could also have a good reputation. This was an emperor that China had never had in thousands of years!
In the future, it would definitely be recorded in the history books and left for future emperors to imitate and admire!
