[PS: The author has already cracked the review for chapter 71. I'm completely convinced. I'll inform everyone when it's released. You can also watch chapter 78!]
"Will Li Shi Min accept it?"
"We still have to consider the Great Tang's reaction."
Yang Aiguo said.
"It shouldn't be a big problem. It's not just the post-disaster reconstruction and relocation of the victims, but also the infrastructure in the north.”Lin Hao smiled confidently and said,"Just the route from Youzhou to Koryo alone is definitely Li Er's weakness!"”
"He really wants to conquer Korea. Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty failed to conquer Goguryeo three times. If he succeeds, it will prove that the Li Clan is the legitimate ruler of the country, and it will also show his achievements in expanding the territory.”
There was no doubt about that.
Lee Er was obsessed with fighting Goguryeo.
"That's true. You still need to tell Li Er personally.”
"No problem."
The wealth of the five families could not be calculated in a short time.
Just the land alone took a lot of effort to calculate.
Not only that, even the amount of grain was huge, piling up like a mountain.
He didn't know, but he was shocked. The grain of the five families was probably many times more than Li Er's national treasury.
Just them alone could provide food for the people of the two roads for a year and a half.
One could imagine how terrifying it was.
Five days later.
There was news from Chang 'an that the loan negotiations were in a stalemate.
Lin Hao had no choice but to return and participate in the negotiations.
"The Great Tang demands a large share of the gold and silver mines. The two sides have very big differences on this matter.”
Yang Aiguo said.
"What is our bottom line?"
"At most 20%!" "The higher-ups 'instructions are that on the basis of 20%, the more we can talk about it, the better," Yang Aiguo explained.”
"It would be best if all the gold and silver mined belong to us.”
Lin Hao knew the details.
The premise of the national loan was that the gold and silver mines would be used to repay the loan.
However, the Great Tang wanted to take a portion of the money, and the rest would be used as collateral to repay the loan.
Li Er agreed to use the gold and silver that had not been mined as collateral.
But on this issue, there were differences.
Li Er wanted a portion of the profits.
"Is there a backup plan?" Lin Hao asked.
"Chief of Staff Fang, Wu Yuan, and the others have discussed that if they can't reach an agreement on this, they can only buy it out in one go and obtain the mining rights by using materials and goods.”
"Use something else as collateral for the loan.”
"For example, oil, iron ore, rare resources, and so on.”
Yang Aiguo said.
"Alright, I understand."
Lin Hao looked at his watch, adjusted his military cap, and said,"How about this? I'll go back tomorrow and talk to Li Er. I hope it's the best result.”
"No problem. Let's talk about it before spring.”
……
"Minister Lin is coming back."
The news quickly spread among the higher-ups of Chang 'an.
Li Er also ate a few big bowls in the palace.
The next day.
At the airstrip outside Chang 'an City.
Li Er personally led the civil and military officials to wait here.
Lin Hao did not have that much face. Most importantly, Li Er had been invited by Fang Ping to come and see what a plane that could fly in the sky looked like.
It could be considered as an eye-opener for these natives and also a shock for them. They knew how big the gap between the two sides was.
Although there was an introduction video during the interview.
However, hearing is false, seeing is believing.
It was more impactful to see it with one's own eyes.
"He's here!"
Fang Ping said.
Immediately, everyone looked up at the sky and saw a huge black shadow rapidly approaching. Then, it swooped down and glided down under the dumbfounded gazes of Li Er and the others.
The giant creature finally stopped.
The fat girl's butt opened.
Lin Hao was wearing a brand-new standard military uniform and a military coat as he walked down quickly.
Behind him, the guards filed out and formed a line outside.
"Lin Hao!"
Fang Ping and the others came forward.
"Chief of Staff Fang!"
Lin Hao saluted and said,"How dare I trouble the chief of staff?"”
"Li Shi Min and the others are here too."
At this moment, Li Shiming and the others welcomed him. They ignored Lin Hao and circled around the fat girl, constantly muttering to themselves.
"Such a big guy can actually fly in the sky?”
"How is that possible?"
"Unbelievable, too unbelievable.”
"It's too hard to understand. Won't it fall down?”
"How far is Hebei Province? It takes three to four days to reach the fastest speed of 800 miles. But Minister Lin only took two hours to get there on this plane.”
Heaven.
Flying.
Speed.
Time.
All these aspects caused the officials of the Great Tang to marvel and discuss.
Li Er tried his best to suppress his emotions, but his eyes were filled with fanaticism and excitement. He could not hide it no matter what.
"You came back in this?”Li Er asked Lin Hao. If he heard correctly, Li Er's voice was trembling.
"That's right. This plane can soar in the sky like an eagle. No matter how far it is, it can arrive in the fastest time."”
"I want to sit down and take a look at the sky," Li Er said with an unbearable expression.”
"Of course not."
Soon after.
Li Er and a group of ministers filed in and entered the fat girl's inner circle. Then, they were instructed to sit properly.
Not long after, the plane took off. The oppressive feeling of taking off made it difficult for people to breathe.
Some of them even had airsickness.
There were also some who were prepared and didn't vomit all over the place.
Li Er and the others only stood up after the plane had levitated. They approached the porthole and exclaimed in amazement.
"We are in the sky."
Is that Chang 'an Fortress?"
" Chang 'an Fortress is so magnificent."
"Looking at the ground from the sky, it's actually so small.”
Lin Hao smiled and did not say anything. He let these natives watch to their hearts 'content and experience the feeling of being in the sky.
Half an hour later.
The fat girl landed.
The crowd reluctantly walked out.
This experience had caused Li Er and the others to have a huge change in their mindset. The impact on their hearts was hard to erase.
On the same day, Lin Hao came to the Dew Hall alone to meet Li Er.
"This is the disaster relief report of the two roads, this is the disaster relief report, this is the elimination process of the five great clans, as well as the confiscated property and so on.”
A large pile of reports and documents were stored in file boxes. Three large boxes were placed in the hall.
Li Eryi waved his hand, and the eunuchs were all moved away.
"I didn't expect you to be so thoughtful.”Li Er teased.
Lin Hao chuckled and tacitly agreed.
Could it be that he could say that Commander Yang and the others had sorted it out?
"Tell me about the situation briefly.”
He didn't know how long it would take to finish reading all those reports, so Li Er didn't have the mood to read them.
"That works too."
Lin Hao reported.
"The disaster in both roads has stabilized.”
"A total of 550,000 households have been affected, and the incomplete number of people affected is more than three million.”
"I'd like to arrange for a simple and proper placement in the shortest time possible. We'll make arrangements for recovery after spring.”
"Five surnames and seven surnames…"
After Li Er heard this, he was very appreciative and amazed.
In less than a month, the three million people who were trapped in the cold and ice were arranged in an orderly manner.
He knew that the Great Tang could not have done it so quickly.
Especially the casualties. Other than the initial ones, there were very few in the future.
Moreover, he even had the time to eliminate the five surnames and seven Wangs.
"How much did you copy this time?" Li Er asked after letting go of his surprise.
Since there was no problem with the disaster, the wealth of the five families was what he cared about the most.
"Your Majesty, I was just about to tell you about this.”"What do you think if we use all the assets of the five families to build two roads and rebuild the disaster area?"”
"What?"
Li Er was shocked, anxious, and angry." Lin Hao, you dare to make your own decisions now?"”
Lin Hao shook his head slightly and said,"Old Li, don't be anxious. Listen to me in detail."”
He explained the plan he had prepared beforehand.
"Building two roads will not only make the two roads prosperous, but also build a transportation network.”
Lin Hao picked up the tablet in his hand and gestured for Li Er to take a look. The latter walked down and the two of them met to discuss.
"Look at this map."
"This is the transportation network. Have you noticed the highlights?”
Li Eryu shook his head in anger. He was waiting for Lin Hao to give a satisfactory explanation.
Lin Hao zoomed in on the tablet with two fingers and said,"Do you see this line?"
"This is a path that leads to Goguryeo.”
"There's also this one. It's the Khitans and the Turks.”
"Two directions. As long as the roads are clear, we can send troops to attack them at any time.”
Lin Hao outlined for Li Er and said,"Our plan is to use Fan Yang of Youzhou as the center and develop it vigorously. We will build this place into an important military town. We can quickly mobilize troops to defend, attack, and provide logistics to the front line at any time."”
"This is military."
"Aren't you going to settle more than three million civilians?”
"After spring, if you don't farm, you'll have three million mouths to feed and three million less taxes?”
"Old Li, this is all money. Using the wealth of the five great clans to develop two roads and even the Hedong Road is completely the right place to use it.”
"Is that so?"
Li Er led troops to war, so how could he not understand?
However, he felt that it was a little ridiculous.
Lin Hao, why do you sound like you're fooling him?
"Why would I lie to you? This kind of thing has to be true.”"Besides, even if we transport the assets of the five great clans back, how much consumption will it take? Moreover, you still have to take out the money to build it when the time comes."”
"Why go through so much trouble? Why not just settle it on the spot?”
Li Er didn't fall for it and said faintly,""The five great clans are all extremely wealthy.”
What he meant was that the way you guys ate was too ugly.
"To put it bluntly, the so-called wealth is comparable to a country because the national treasury is poor.”
It wasn't harmful, but it was extremely insulting.
These words pierced Li Er's heart.
"Moreover, this is also taking into account the grain reserves, land properties, mansions, and so on.”Lin Hao said.
"Not leaving any for me?"
"Your Majesty, how can I tell you?"
Lin Hao was arguing with Li Er.
After a long time, Li Er finally pinched his nose and admitted it.
He had to admit it.
He would give him all the antiques and forty percent of the copper coins and food.
Gold, silver, gemstones, and so on. Sorry, there was no possibility of spitting them out after eating them.
Looking at the unhappy Li Er, Lin Hao shook his head and laughed.
You've made a huge profit, yet you're still acting like this.
Strictly speaking, Xia Hua had suffered a huge loss.
They contributed manpower, equipment, and technology. Not only did they enjoy the fruits of others 'labor, but they also helped you drive the development of the North.
Taxes were rising steadily.
If it were anyone else, they would have woken up from their dreams laughing.
"In a few days, Xiahua will give you a detailed plan for the new construction plan in the north. You'll know how great the benefits are when you take a look.”
Lin Hao said.
"Can we really do as you say, defeat the Khitans, Goguryeo, and even the Turks?”Li Er asked.
"Don't worry, it's just like this. As long as the road is clear, it won't be a problem for you to beat up anyone you want.”
Lin Hao patted his chest and promised.
This was Li Er's fatal weakness.
He just wanted to fight and prove his achievements.
The most notable achievements of ancient emperors were in expanding their territory and expanding their territory in foreign wars.
The most famous one was also this Emperor.
Apart from the founding emperor, the only ones who could remember their names were the few emperors who fought well.
Qin Shi Huang, Emperor Wu, Emperor Taizong, Emperor Chengzu.
Which one of these four wasn't skilled in martial arts?
The First Emperor unified the six countries, the Emperor Wu destroyed the Xiongnu, the Emperor Taizong killed the Turks, and the Emperor Chengzu ran to the Woan River.
It was normal for Li Er to have such thoughts.
"That's good. Zhen will wait for that day.”
Li Er's spirits were lifted again.
If it really goes according to plan, why not give it to you?
"Your Majesty, let's talk about the loan now?”Lin Hao asked.
"Do you have any suggestions?" Li Er glanced at this dog and said indifferently,""Zhen will say this first. The Imperial Court has already made many concessions.”
"Alright, how about this? Since you think that plan is unacceptable, let's go with another plan.”"We'll buy the mining rights of the gold and silver mines directly and exchange them for the mining rights.”
"From daily necessities, clothing, food, housing, and transportation, everything you need will be offset.”
"Anyway, when the time comes to sell it, it will be yours no matter how much it is. Xia Hua doesn't want a single cent.”
Seeing that Li Er's expression was not right and was getting uglier and uglier, Lin Hao did not back down and said,"Let me ask you a simple question. How long will it take you to finish mining the gold and silver mines?”
"Five years? Ten years or twenty years?"
"Using something that hasn't been mined to obtain its value in advance, are you still unwilling?”
"This is the exchange of resources for funds. Old Li, think about it carefully.”
"If you want to develop, you have to pay for it. As for the problem of funds, other than loans, you can only use resources to exchange for it.”
"Xia Hua isn't here to be a philanthropist. She'll build the world for you for free.”
"I won't sacrifice myself to fulfill your wishes, right?”
During the negotiations, Xia Hua had also expressed their views.
However, he was not as straightforward as Lin Hao.
Li Er pondered for a long time and did not reply.
Lin Hao was not in a hurry and waited quietly.
The impoverished Great Tang was unwilling to use some resources for construction.
"What about the bank?"
Li Er suddenly asked.
F * ck.
Lin Hao finally understood the crux of the problem when he heard that.
Li Er was worried about the bank deposit.
It seemed that Li Er had really put in some effort to study it.
"Old Li, you're actually overthinking this problem. As long as you can deal with the doubts brought by the paper money at the beginning, have sufficient security deposit exchange, and increase your credibility and purchasing power later on, there won't be much of a problem.”
"Really?"
Lin Hao rolled his eyes and said,"Then what do you think?”
"When paper money flows and is recognized by the people, who would have the time to go to the bank to exchange it for gold? At that time, gold might even become jewelry and circulate in the world.”
Lin Hao briefly explained what would happen to gold after the banknotes flowed.
After Li Er heard this, his expression relaxed a lot.
"Zhen will discuss it with the ministers and give you an answer tomorrow.”
"Alright, I hope Your Majesty can make a decision as soon as possible.”
The next day.
Li Er's reply was official.
He still chose the first option.
However, their share had been reduced to 10%.
In other words, they would have a share of the gold mined.
Once the agreement was signed.
The subsequent movements were much smoother.
Xia Hua had initially put down a total of 300 billion in loans.
It was used in the construction of the Great Tang's basic roads, culture, education, science, technology, medicine, and other fields.
The 800 billion yuan was not given directly. Instead, it was deducted separately from the things needed for future construction.
In other words, Xia Hua didn't pay for it. What he paid for was human technology equipment.
The Great Tang had invested the equivalent of three hundred billion.
The daily necessities were split.
Hanging it in the Ministry of National Development and Transformation, Tang would take a share of the market while Xia Hua would sell the goods.
After obtaining the funds.
The cooperation between the two sides officially began.
Lin Hao directly moved the transmigration door back and placed it at the pick-up base.
The northern base already had enough supplies.
He didn't need it for now. When he needed it, he would just go over and place it.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs changed its name to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Daily meeting.
Lin Hao attended the ceremony.
They were discussing the issue of paper money and the preparations for the bank.
"The bank has been established, but some of the regulations still require Xia Hua's help.”Zhangsun Wuji said.
"Don't worry, Great Tang. Our people will arrive at any time, and we can also prepare the pre-service training for the Great Tang's personnel in advance.”Wu Yuan said.
"That's great. I'll talk to Secretary Wu after the meeting?”Fang Xuanling said.
"No problem."
The topic of discussion was paper money.
Xia Hua gave a sample of the banknotes.
Tang Yuan.
A one-yuan coin.
One dollar bills, five dollars, ten dollars, etc.
The largest amount was 100 yuan.
The paper notes were designed by the Great Tang.
Li Er's seal was on it, and at the same time, there was also the Embroidered Rivers and Mountains.
It was a style that was filled with the colors of the Great Tang. It was ancient and beautiful.
However, what made Lin Hao curl his lips was that Li Er was really shameless.
All the banknotes were printed with his face in different poses.
But this was the Great Tang's decision, and they would not say anything.
Xia Hua just needed to do the anti-counterfeit.
"We will decide after we show it to His Majesty.”
Lin Hao knocked on the table and said,"This is the final version. In three days, the imperial court will give you a salary. It just so happens that we can use it."”
The Tang official was stunned.
How could you, Lin Hao, be such a person?
