In the Chang'an Palace, Li Shimin was reviewing the folds, and at this time, a guard came in to report.
"Your Majesty's Fuzhou Urgent Report."
Ma He immediately went over and took the fold and presented it to Li Shimin.
Fuzhou is far away from Chang'an, and it will take a month, Li Shimin opened the fold and said: "Fuzhou pirates want to rob the Snapdragon, it's really bold. ” Li Shimin knows very well what is on the Snapdragon, and what is written on the history of the Fuzhou assassination is what Yuan Shan said.
"Capturing six ships is a big deal."
Li Shimin said.
"It is planned to let the household department allocate 30,000 guan to Fuzhou for ship repair, and the six warships belong to the Snapdragon fleet, appoint Tian Yuan as a guerrilla general, and recruit 500 soldiers locally to supplement the fleet of sailors."
Li Shimin said.
This is a report on the bright side, there are two books on the bookcase, one is the intelligence collected by the secret guards, and the other is Lian Jia's report, the secret guard's report has a lot of content, which records the experience of the satisfaction along the way, including Suzhou, Hangzhou, Yuezhou to establish the economic development department and the establishment of the chamber of commerce by merchants, and the above is better whaling and pirate encounters.
Lian Jia's twists and turns are basically the Snapdragon's voyage records and a summary of their specific tactics after encountering pirates.
The pirates that appeared in Fuzhou were remnants of the Sui Dynasty, and they had not found out where the pirates were hiding for many years, and Li Shimin wanted to take this opportunity to get rid of them, but the problem was that the treasury lacked silver.
According to the system of counties and townships in the Tang Dynasty, the Tuhun people need to be resettled, and the recovered land needs more population, and it takes a long time to move out, which requires money.
It was the limit of being able to allocate 30,000 yuan, and if it weren't for the capture of six ships, I am afraid that it would have cost a lot of money to extract money from the household.
Now that I think about it, it seems that only the Ministry of Economic Development is the most worthy of his mind, but now the Ministry of Economic Development has huge expenses, and he is not willing to be a pick-up man now, when the time comes, who will pay millions of dollars every month, although he is the emperor, but the money in the treasury can not be spent by one family, otherwise the ministers of the six ministries will have opinions.
There is no other reason why the establishment of the Ministry of Economic Development needs to be approved by him, because as long as there is a Ministry of Economic Development, local taxes will increase year by year, which is why Li Shimin allowed Yuanshan to set up so many institutions, and the more important reason is that Li Shimin saw the role of the Ministry of Economic Development, and in the future, the Ministry of Economic Development will not be able to control the entire economy of Datang after the rights are taken back to his hands.
Besides, because it is only an independent economic institution, in addition to making money, investment and other things, there is no means that can shake the foundation of the Tang Dynasty, another advantage is that the Ministry of Economic Development is an institution established by the imperial power, and is only responsible to the emperor, so that even if the next emperor is the Economic Development Department, it will be able to stabilize the business of the Tang Dynasty, and it will not easily let the business of the Tang Dynasty be turbulent, and according to his future vision, the Ministry of Economic Development may contribute silver to the imperial court.
Li Shimin's idea is very good, but he forgot that Yuan Shan told him at the beginning that everything the investment of the Ministry of Economic Development is a contract, if the imperial court needs money, it can take the way of borrowing, or set up an investment project to pass the review The Ministry of Economic Development will invest money, and the first consideration of the standard is to benefit the country and the people, and then whether there is investment value, if you want to squander and enjoy, sorry, the Ministry of Economic Development will not pay for the emperor's enjoyment.
If there is a war funding, there is another set of business returns, disaster donations should be subject to fishing rather than impermanent fundraising, the button must be grasped, but if you want to use the money of the Ministry of Economic Development, it is not impossible, it is completely possible to turn the Ministry of Economic Development into the highest financial institution in Datang, responsible for the economic lifeline of the entire Datang, that is to say, directly integrated with the treasury, and then the household department will be independent and no longer have any involvement with the treasury.
Of course, I am afraid it is still very early to do this step, Li Shimin knows some but not all of the operation of this matter, and now the Ministry of Economic Development wants to become a real financial institution, and still needs to wait for Yuanshan's next arrangement, and their current situation is more embarrassing.
But with the support of His Majesty, the ministers of the DPRK and China have no love for the Ministry of Economic Development, but it is also an indisputable fact that the Ministry of Economic Development can increase taxes.
The Economic Development Department is a cactus ball that will be pierced when it touches it, and now the ministers are thinking about the prince's affairs, after all, the emperor is getting older and older, and the princes are growing up, and it is definitely not appropriate to not prepare for this matter, and the team is standing wrong, but it is going to lose its head.
Besides, now that the ministers of the DPRK and the Central Government are not young, they must think about their sons, this has been Zhenguan for ten years, Li Shimin has been ten years, Guotai and Min'an are the so-called warm thoughts, who is okay and always wants to touch the mold.
The Snapdragon won a big victory, Li Shimin was promoted to the rank of Jin Ziguanglu doctor because of his recommendation of the general, Zhang Liang was very happy to set up a banquet at home and did not invite others to laugh at home, Zhou Ru and Tian Yuan were his generals before, and now he is very happy to be reused.
He himself can be civil and martial, although the awards are idle now, but now it seems that His Majesty is still very optimistic about him, and the two under him can now be said to have mastered the two largest warships in the Tang Dynasty.
The Cangzhou was originally a merchant ship, and it was said that it was a warship, but it was actually about the same, after all, this soldier was stationed on it, and in the past few months, I heard that there were many soldiers who used the Cangzhou to transport to Fusang, and now it may be five hundred.
As a result, Zhou Ru was promoted from a lieutenant to a lieutenant, and his subordinates were also followed by three lieutenants.
Now Chang'an is still building a railway, the purpose is to go from Chang'an to Luoyang, and then all the way to the east, this mission is currently handed over to the Ministry of Industry Shangshu Yan Lide to do, but the Daming Palace is being built, Yan Lide can not be busy, when the time comes, he looks worried about the monarch, and the completion is good, but the official position can go further.
Zhang Liang is very good at administration, and his favorite thing is to install eyeliner in the people to collect intelligence, and according to this information, he can rectify the evil people and squires, probably because he was born a commoner and is very good to the people.
It's an official with a good reputation among the people, but no one is perfect, it's not a problem to pursue high-ranking officials, but being too persistent is his shortcoming, and now he wants to seize an opportunity, just taking advantage of the opportunity for His Majesty to promote him, anyway, he is an idle official who takes the initiative to do things, and no leader doesn't like such employees.
In the Ministry of Industry, Yan Lide is very busy, and the construction speed of Daming Palace is not fast, because colleagues also have to produce carriages in large quantities to quickly supplement Datang's transportation capacity.
"Yan Shangshu, how can you personally go into battle to see wood, don't toss your body."
Zhang Liang came over and said.
"The Ministry of Industry is now understaffed, and one of them is considered to be the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, so naturally he has to help, what is the matter with Zhang Yushilai."
Yan Lide asked.
"Oh, that's the case, Your Majesty has already ordered this official to be in charge of the construction of the railway, so it's just a matter of informing Yan Shangshu."
Zhang Liang said.
