Li Shen knew what was going on when he saw Li Mengjiang's expression. Li Mengjiang was also afraid of society.
Leaving a familiar place will cause you to panic unconsciously.
Li Shen also met this kind of person in his previous life. After getting familiar with this place, his personality became very outgoing.
"Sister, this princess mansion was borrowed from Aye, and it will be returned to Aye sooner or later.
If we didn't have the ability, this princess mansion would be yours, but now we can still be self-sufficient.
Do you think we should save Aye the trouble and give this princess mansion to sisters who need it in the future? "
Li Shen better understood Li Mengjiang's filial piety towards Li Shimin and Wei Guifei.
As long as it saves her parents' worries, Li Mengjiang can endure it no matter how wronged she is.
"Oh~~~Okay then, let's move in these two days, and don't choose any auspicious day.
I'll leave this here for sisters who need it in the future. "Li Mengjiang said with a sigh.
Li Shen was very happy to see Li Mengjiang agreed. The two most important women in his life were Concubine Wei and Li Mengjiang.
Oh, and the women at home.
The two siblings chatted for a while, and Li Shen left. He needed to go to the palace.
Let’s talk about schools and road construction.
In Liangyi Hall, Li Shimin was discussing matters with officials from three provinces and six ministries.
Although the country is peaceful and the people are safe now, disasters happen every year, and some things are reported from various places, such as banditry, corruption and bribery,
After these are summarized, they will be reported to the three provinces and then handed over to Li Shimin for review.
"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness Prince Ji is outside seeking an audience." A eunuch came in to report.
"What is he doing here? Let him in." Li Shimin was a little confused. Didn't he just beat him yesterday?
Why are you addicted and are you getting beaten again today?
"Your Majesty, sir." Li Shen saluted.
"..." The whole audience was speechless.
What kind of trouble is His Highness Prince Ji going to do today?
It instantly aroused everyone's interest. The Chinese people's love for eating melons is engraved in their bones regardless of the dynasty or generation.
After Li Shimin heard Li Shen's words, he was so angry that he laughed. He really didn't pay attention to his house for three days.
"Do you have something to do here? I am discussing state affairs with all my dear friends. If you have nothing to do, please leave."
Li Shimin asked seriously.
"Your Majesty, this time I am here to discuss some matters with the imperial court on behalf of our Prince Ji's Palace." Li Shengui behaved and meticulously performed what a minister should look like.
"Oh? What's going on in Prince Ji's house? Can you help the court?"
You, Prince Ji, are all merchants. If you can discuss anything with the imperial court, how can I still do business with you?
"Your Majesty, I have established more than two hundred colleges in Shannan Province and Henan Province this year.
The court didn't pay a penny, but what about the follow-up matters? The minister's house now has no money. "
Li Shen continued.
"The follow-up matter, the follow-up is the instruction, of course we will send people there." Li Shimin thought for a while and replied.
"Aye, not only the edict, but also books, food expenses, heating expenses, and the edict's salary."
"You are responsible for awarding books." Li Shimin was puzzled.
“Aye, our Prince Ji’s Mansion is now unable to make ends meet and is no longer able to bear the follow-up expenses.
We can only insist on completing the construction of the college. "Li Shen's expression showed regret and helplessness.
"King Ji, what do you mean?" Li Shimin's face darkened.
"Your Majesty, Prince Ji's Mansion is only responsible for building the college. The court will need to pay for the follow-up work. Our Prince Ji's Mansion has no money." Li Shen explained.
"His Royal Highness Prince Ji, everyone says that Prince Ji's palace is as rich as any other country. Why is there no money now?" Fang Xuanling interjected.
"Fang Xiang, what's so strange about this? Money is something external to the body. If you don't bring it with you during life, you won't take it with you after death.
It is normal for me to have spent all my money. Look at how many things I am building. Li Shen retorted.
"Tang Aiqing, how can the treasury spend this money?" Li Shimin thought for a while and then asked Tang Jian.
"Your Majesty, there is no balance in the national treasury now. The Eastern Expedition to Goryeo has left the treasury empty." Tang Jian said.
"Tang Shangshu, are you sure the treasury is empty?" Li Shen turned around and asked.
"I'm sure."
"In this case, Your Majesty, I suspect that there is something wrong with the Ministry of Civil Affairs' accounts, and I request a strict investigation." Li Shencai doesn't tolerate you.
Li Shen knew that Datang's tax revenue had been increasing every year in recent years as people's livelihoods improved.
Li Shen could tell that Tang Jian just didn't want to pay for him to be taken advantage of.
"Your Highness Prince Ji, what does this mean? Could it be that His Highness Prince Ji is one of the ministers who has enriched his own pockets and is corrupt and perverting the law." Tang Jian said with some reluctance.
"Hey, you are right, I just doubt you, so what?
Last year the national treasury was nearly 20 million yuan, and in the first half of this year it was at least 10 million yuan.
I just want to know whether Dongzheng can spend so much money?
Where did your money go? Li Shen asked.
“There are disasters every year in our Tang Dynasty, and we still need to build water conservancy projects, repair roads, and clean up rivers.
Add in the supplies for the hundreds of thousands of people who went on the Eastern Expedition, and there was no money left. "
Tang Jian also argued hard.
"Anyway, I don't care. Whether you are greedy or not is the court's business and has nothing to do with me. I am here today to discuss the handover with the court on behalf of Prince Ji's Mansion.
After the construction of Prince Ji's Mansion is completed, no further money will be invested, and the money from our Prince Ji's Mansion did not come from strong winds.
If there is no follow-up from the court and the people start talking, I will make the truth known to the public.
When the time comes, I will write down your names and tell you that you do not agree to pay.
I saw how the people would talk about you. "Li Shen also used rogue tricks.
To be honest with these people, none of the eight Li Shens are opponents.
"This..." Everyone was a little stupid. They cherish their feathers very much.
If King Ji puts all the responsibility on them, they may be criticized by thousands of people and cast aside by everyone in the world.
"Your Highness Prince Ji, didn't you say that newspapers should be based on facts?
Doesn't your behavior confuse right and wrong? I really can impeach you for slandering the minister. "
Yang Shidao stood up. He had not been sitting in the position of Zhongshu Ling for a long time. It would be unjust if Li Shen got him down.
"Then I ask you, do you agree that the imperial court will pay for the follow-up matters of the college?" Li Shen glanced sideways at Yang Shidao.
"This..." Yang Shidao was at a loss for words. Of course he knew that Tang Jian didn't want the treasury to provide the money.
"Look, what I wrote is correct, but you don't agree.
I ask again, everyone present, please raise your hands if you agree that the imperial court will pay to take over the affairs after the college is completed. "After Li Shen finished speaking, he glanced around.
Everyone was a little overwhelmed and hesitant when Li Shen suddenly asked him this question.
"That means everyone disagrees, so I don't think it's slandering the minister by writing what I just said." Li Shen said disdainfully.
(Lazy cancer is being treated...)
