Li Shen's second path was once again surprising. They didn't expect Li Shen to do this.
There are definitely many roads leading to Goguryeo, but the detour will take a long time.
Moreover, what Li Shen wants to build must be a big road.
"Your Highness Prince Ji, what do you mean by this? The imperial troops and horses should be excluded and cannot be charged.
Doesn't this increase the cost of sending troops? "Tang Jian asked.
The Eastern Expedition army consisted of 200,000 troops, which meant 20,000 guans of tolls, and horse-drawn carriages.
Hundreds of thousands of laborers are responsible for escorting the supplies of the 400,000-strong army. How many carriages can you name?
A carriage cost 200 coins. Tang Jian couldn't even imagine how much money the court would have to spend.
This is not even counting the siege equipment.
This King Ji is crazy about money. You dare to accept money from the court.
Li Shen didn't care about this. In later generations, Li Shen saw the video. Even rescue vehicles, fire trucks, and toll stations all charge fees.
There is nothing that Prince Li Shen dare not do in this feudal society.
Li Shen took out the contract from his arms, opened it and pointed at Tang Jian with his finger on the contract.
“Look, this is what your three provinces and six ministries have agreed upon, including all horses and vehicles, including siege engines.
Everyone signed the paper in black and white.
You are all respectable people, you won’t turn around and refuse to admit it, right? "
Li Shen's tone was a bit joking.
"this......"
Everyone stood stunned once again, ignoring the army.
They took it for granted that Li Shen would give the court free money, and anyone he mentioned should be the carriages and horses of princes and nobles.
But he didn't expect that Li Shen would directly target the Eastern Expedition army.
Everyone really wanted to yell at you for being such a shameless person, but they didn't dare to do so while their father was sitting on top.
Li Shimin just sat there calmly looking down, but his heart was filled with joy.
As expected of his own son, he was actually able to quarrel with other scholars. Even a capable man like Gao Shilian was at his wits' end and was left speechless.
He completely ignores his son's rogue tactics. Only care about results.
Li Shimin knew that this group of people would always only focus on Li Shen's identity as a prince, but ignored his other identity - a businessman.
Li Shen has been in business for many years. He was able to create such a big business because of his brains.
Moreover, Li Shimin also knew one thing: when the First Chamber of Commerce of the Tang Dynasty was established,
In order to get members inside to sign contracts and collect guarantee fees, Li Shen did everything possible.
All kinds of small tricks of fraud are emerging one after another, and the methods of contract deception are one after another.
In the end, it led to the point where merchants in the Tang Dynasty are now afraid even if they don't sign a contract.
Otherwise, why did Li Shen collect 8 million guan last year and return 4 million guan to the court?
Most of them are guarantee fees, and I heard that Li Shen's guarantee fees have increased again this year.
There are definitely opportunists who trade in small batches, but you must know that this is the Tang Dynasty and Li Shen is the prince.
Being discovered by Li Shen is much more serious than tax evasion. No one wants to come out and be used as a chicken to scare the monkeys.
Therefore, Li Shen has no worries about this kind of thing happening. If it doesn't work, he will do it to you.
Li Shimin saw that Li Shen had gained the upper hand and knew that he should end, otherwise the matter would not have any result.
"Well, my dear friends have not figured it out yet. In this case, Prince Ji, how can you change the contract?"
Hearing Li Shimin's words, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. This King Ji was being unreasonable with the contract.
If an ordinary person is nothing, the court can use any excuse and means to kill him.
But he is a prince, His Majesty's biological son, and he still has a contract in his hand. I need to release the contents of the contract.
There is nothing they can do about it, and they will all be in infamy for eternity.
"If you go back to Aye, the ten-year term is only ten years, and you don't have to pay the court fees.
If everyone agrees, I will agree to change the contract and make it anew.
If you don't let us, we will still go according to the previous contract.
If the court is afraid of being criticized, it can also provide money to help the carriage and horses bear certain expenses.
But I will not change the plan. If the Eastern Expedition army does not want to pay,
Let them travel from the northern grasslands. "Li Shen's attitude is very firm.
"My dear friends, what do you think of what His Highness Prince Ji said?" Li Shimin asked below.
Everyone also started to discuss, but only a few people in the room were very calm.
As if this matter has nothing to do with them, one is Fang Xuanling and the other is Changsun Wuji.
There are also some generals, such as Yuchi Jingde and others.
After a while, Ma Zhou finally spoke:
"Your Majesty, I think the contract can be changed." They had no choice.
They don't care if the people criticize the court, but they are afraid that Li Shen will publish their names.
At that time, he will really be despised by thousands of people.
"Okay, let me re-draw the contract. This is the last time. You are all important officials of the imperial court and you cannot go back on your word." Li Shimin nodded.
Everyone could hear that Li Shimin was blaming them for going back on their word and losing their image as officials of the imperial court.
After all, they represent the imperial court. (Free reading of Tomato novels)
Whose son should I love? It seems that His Majesty still loves his own son.
"I don't dare."
Soon Wang De drew up a new contract, and this time Li Shimin personally sealed the contract with Li Shen.
Since Li Shimin signed it himself, there is no need for people like them.
Li Shen also stamped his private seal and made two copies, one for himself and one for the court.
When Li Shen took over the contract, he felt the urge to reach out and shake Li Shimin's hand.
In his previous life, when he watched TV, weren't the representatives of both parties like this after signing a contract?
It would be even better if there was thunderous applause below, but unfortunately, all the ministers below are silent now.
It was as if they had lost their money.
"Okay, everything has been signed. You should go back and make arrangements as soon as possible. I need a way to Luoyang." Li Shimin demanded.
"It's Aye. What requirements does Aye have for the second path?" Li Shen asked in a low voice.
If your father has demands, then you can't be so stubborn. And Luoyang is indeed not far away.
"Hmm... let's build the second road to Goguryeo." Li Shimin thought for a while.
"Okay, I'll go back and make arrangements right now." After saying this, Li Shen bowed and looked around at everyone with a smile.
He left the Liangyi Hall with a smile of victory.
Li Shen returned to the palace and immediately summoned Wang Xuance.
"Xuance, this is the contract I signed with the court. We are going to start building the road."
Li Shen handed the contract to Wang Xuance.
After seeing this, Wang Xuance admired Li Shen extremely. His own prince was the most powerful one. No one in the history of history could do business with the imperial court on an equal footing.
"What are your orders, Your Majesty?" He knew that Li Shen must have something to do with him.
"You write a notice and say that within half a month, I will hold a fund-raising event at the wine club in heaven and earth.
All donations are voluntary and I will never force you.
You ask the horse to deliver the notice seven days away.
Write down the date and don’t wait until it expires. "
(No, I’m not stuck now. I’ve learned well.)
Should you give me the rating you owe me? )
