Chapter 815 Li Shimin was stunned

Li Shimin has always been a little upset recently. As the end of the year approaches, all kinds of things are gathered together. The busier the more you are, the more confused you are. The prime ministers under the Secretariat recently came up with a plan to immigrate to the border.

In general, this plan is still the immigration real-time plan led by Li Chao in the past. However, this time, it mainly moves to Hetao and Daibei, as well as Annan and Longnan. The plan is quite good, with a large area of ​​land that can be immigrated.

Especially Hetao and Daibei, especially the Hetao area among them, the Yellow River has many harms and only the rich one. This is a good place for rich oil, and it is also a very good horse farm. These two places have been developed and can even accommodate millions of immigrants.

During the Qin and Han dynasties, we immigrated there on a large scale, and there was no problem with immigrating there.

But the problem is that immigration also requires money.

After the Central Plains disaster, the court's deficit was still owed a lot.

Reconstruction and restoration of production in various places requires a lot of money, especially the court has to exempt taxes from disaster areas and reduce income. In this case, the court does not have much financial resources to dominate the immigration. Now the court has only plans but no financial support, so it can only reduce the scale of immigration first and encourage the people to immigrate independently.

As long as the people immigrate themselves and get there, they can divide the land and land.

One dime can divide the land by 100 acres, which is the upper limit of equal land. If it were in the past, such conditions were a good place like Hetao, many people would definitely go there.

But now, the court has released rumors, but there are very few people willing to respond to immigrants.

As for the reason, it's very simple.

The princes who had already obtained the fief are rolling up their sleeves and going to do a big fight. In order to recruit people to build territory, they offer much better conditions than those of the court.

Although their territory is incomparable to the court, it is farther and more remote, they are rich.

For example, the Li family first started recruiting people. The conditions they gave were not limited to their origins, and then they included travel, accommodation and food along the way. Someone gave it to them, some were protecting them on the way, and some were picking them up when they arrived, and they would pay the resettlement family when they went there. In short, the treatment was compared to the court, so you had to find a way to go thousands of miles away. After that, the court only gave you a piece of wasteland. Everything else depends on its own policies, and they were all-round.

If you want to immigrate, Li Ji will valuate your property and pay the money to collect it. You can also directly hand over all the houses, land, homes, and other things to Li Ji and entrust them to help sell it. Before the things are sold, you can get a sum of money first.

In fact, even if the family has no money and sign up, the Li family will give you a deposit. When you get there, the Li family promises to give you an interest-free loan, so you don’t have to worry about it there.

Just go after people pass by, don’t worry about the house or work. Li Ji even promises that when I immigrate, no matter what good or bad things are, those with children can go to the school run by Li Ji for three years and learn to make arithmetic. If you have excellent grades, you can also get a scholarship, and the Li family will fund them to go to high school, or even later junior high school, etc.

Anyway, the various promises given by Li Ji are indeed very attractive.

Even if Li Shimin saw these conditions, he would admit that if he was a poor person living in the Central Plains, he would immediately sign up to go with his family when he saw the conditions of the Li family.

In fact, it is indeed the case.

The Li family recruits and registers, but the Li family still chooses skills regardless of their origin. Even scholars must have a skill, either proficient in documents or proficient in accounts. Ordinary people do not have a skill, but they are really difficult to attract the Li family's attention without a skill.

Compare.

The immigration registration points for government offices in various places in the imperial court were very deserted.

Now the other princes have also followed Li Chao's appearance and offered many favorable conditions, and are attracting people everywhere.

There is no way, who wants all these princes to be rich?

For example, the Li family is rich and powerful, and as soon as they take action, they threaten to build three cities directly. Some other princes, such as Qin Shubao, were Li Chao's adoptive father or the eldest princess, and were also rich and powerful. He had a fiefdom of 180 miles and said he wanted to build two castles.

Cheng Yao Jinda and other guys followed Li Chao to make a lot of money, and they all shouted that they would choose to build a big castle.

Even Ru Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui and others wanted to build a castle directly.

Building a castle, building a city with the strength of a family, requires a lot of money.

Now the wealth of craftsmen has increased greatly, and many materials for building cities have also increased, but they still cannot stop the enthusiasm of these princes to build cities.

If any prince said he did not plan to build a city and only planned to build a manor first, he would be laughed at.

To build it, at least a castle must be built.

Not to mention that like Li Chao, three surrendered cities will be built as soon as they come, but you must not build a castle first?

Li Shimin really didn't know that these meritorious nobles were all so rich and powerful.

Judging from their attitude, which one of them doesn’t have tens of thousands of dollars.

Even if you build a small castle, you will have to make tens of thousands of dollars? Just like Cheng Yaojin and Qin Qiong, you will have to build a city that will definitely cost tens of thousands of dollars, or even tens of thousands of dollars.

As for Li Chao, he directly planned to build three cities, and also needed to build roads and beacons, which would probably not be able to fight hundreds of thousands of yuan.

These guys are so rich.

Thinking about how much debt I owe. When the imperial court had no money, these nobles did not say that they had a lot of money in Liji Money House or buried in underground Money Cellar. Now, they were all taken out.

"It seems that the two taxes on household tax and local tax must be implemented at a faster pace. If there are too many loopholes in tax collection, you have to be taxed according to households, etc. and land property. You also have to strengthen the collection of commercial taxes. The integration of nobles, officials and gentry is not exempt from taxes!"

Li Shimin was a little ruthless.

A peace talk was reached with the Turks this year, but everyone knows that this is just a temporary truce. The Turks even made it clear that the peace talks stated that it was a three-year truce.

If things go well, maybe the Turks will come south in three years. If things go wrong, the Turks may not wait until then and will go south.

The court must step up preparations for war.

Li Chao's northern nine-border defense system needs to be built in a step-by-step manner, but all these require money.

It takes a lot of money.

The imperial court's military soldiers usually don't cost much, but once the war starts, the expenses of various weapons, money, food, pensions, and rewards are immediately a massive number.

The court is short of money.

Li Shimin is now a little jealous of the Li family's industry, and the family is big and the business is big.

The Li family is so rich. Li Chao is so good at making money. The Li family has not known how much money they have made over the years, and they are simply rich enough to rival a country.

Li Shimin really admires Li Chao in terms of making money.

Li Chao controlled the money bag for the court and presided over the Ministry of Revenue. He did not last long, but he opened many sources for the court. Li Chao was in charge of the Ministry of Revenue, which was no more than other officials. Other officials were thinking of ways to reduce expenses, but Li Chao only found a way to open up the source.

The Supreme Emperor had said something to him before, saying that the court could no longer accommodate Li Chao. This was so provocative, and Li Shimin was indeed a little touched after hearing it.

But now, the empty treasury in the court still makes Li Shimin rely on Li Chao.

Before Li Chao came to the battle, he proposed to establish a salt company and issue salt and salt shares. After Li Chao left, Li Shimin asked the Ministry of Revenue to take over, but until now, this matter has not been clueful.

Without Li San as a butcher, he really ate pigs with hair. This fact made Li Shimin very dissatisfied, mainly because he was dissatisfied with the people of the Ministry of Revenue, but no matter how dissatisfied he was, the result was still the same.

The Ministry of Revenue still cannot do without Li Chao.

The court still had to be led by Li Chao to preside over the Ministry of Revenue and control the money bag.

Li Shimin has had some thoughts about the Li family’s money house recently. He had been jealous of him before and wanted to build a money house. Now, this money house is really powerful, with money coming in and out, and money coming in and out, and money coming in and out.

Li Shimin wanted to wait for Li Chao to come back and talk to him to let Li Chao build a money house for the court. He believed that with the reputation of the court, he would definitely be able to do more after building a money house and make more profits at that time.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty."

Li Shimin came to his senses.

I found that eunuch Wang was standing in front of me.

"Um?"

Eunuch Wang called Li Shimin a few times, but found that the emperor had been tranced.

"Your Majesty, the urgent report from Hetao."

"Urgent report?"

"Well, the urgent report sent by the Liusanmen spy, Li Xiang was assassinated in the north of Seitou!"

"Assassinated?" Li Shimin's voice suddenly increased by octave. "How is Li Chao now?"

Just as I thought about waiting for Li Chao to come back, I still had to use him again, but unexpectedly, this happened.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, Li Xiangguo is fine, the assassin was taken on the spot, and Li Xiang was not injured."

"Do you know who sent the assassins?"

"It's the assassin of the Yushishi School."

"This damn Yu Sheshi, he dared to break the agreement like this just as soon as he made a peace agreement. I will never forgive him!"

"Your Majesty, the spy also reported that after Yu Sheshe failed to send an assassin, he planned to lead his troops across the border into Hetao and intercept Li Xiang."

"How dare he!" Li Shimin slapped the imperial desk with a palm, and the memorial on the table jumped up.

"Tell Ma Zhou is here."

Ma Zhou, the Minister of the Secretariat, arrived.

"Ma Zhou, you immediately draft an edict, ordering Li Simo, deputy governor of Zhenbei, Cheng Yaojin, governor of Xiazhou, Guo Xiaoke, governor of Linzhou, and Li Jing, governor of Hedong Road, to send troops to Hekou immediately to help Li Chao, and to ensure that Li Chao's safety must be ensured. If Li Chao has a hair loss, I will only ask!"

Ma Zhou was secretly surprised by the emperor's anger, and he did not expect that the emperor would value Li Chao so much.

Directly mobilizing several generals around Hetao to send troops to support him is not a treatment that ordinary ministers can get.

"I understand."

"Go quickly and send it out immediately after you have finished it."

Ma Zhou returned to the Secretariat and quickly drafted the edict and submitted it to Li Shimin.

"Report to Your Majesty, Hetao urgently reported!"

Li Shimin suddenly looked up, "Hetao urgently reported? Say it quickly!"

"Report your Majesty, Hetao urgently reported that Li Xiangyu had fought against Yuzhan in Fengzhou a few days ago. He defeated Yuzhan with two thousand soldiers, wiped out more than 1,000 enemies, and forced Yuzhan to land, capturing more than 6,000 cavalry."

"Yu Sheshe was defeated and surrendered!"

"What?" Li Shimin looked at the letter in his hand that dispatched troops to rescue Li Chao. Before he could send troops to send troops to rescue Li Chao, he felt a little dazed when he listened to the latest report.

He was also worried about Li Chao and was about to send someone to pick up Li Chao. Then Li Chao had already defeated Yu Shooting with two thousand people. Not only did he defeat the more with few, he also directly captured Yu Shooting and made him surrender?
