As soon as Dai Zhou entered it, Li Shimin greeted him and said, "Dai Zhou, you are here just in time, come and try this! This is very useful!"

Then he said:

"This is called a warm body patch. It can help you avoid the cold!"

"besides……"

Li Shimin introduced himself.

It feels like it's your own thing.

Dai Zhou's heart is not here.

He said, "Your Majesty, I have something to ask for advice!"

This made Li Shimin's face look a little bad in an instant.

"What's the matter?"

Following him to Li Shimin, his face was solemn. After thinking for a while, he kept silent.

Empress Changsun and Concubine Yang also put down their things.

Looking at Dai Zhou.

I thought to myself, what's wrong with Dai Zhou?

Until Li Shimin was a little irritable.

"What's wrong? Is there anything that makes it difficult for you to speak?"

He asked.

Dai Zhou then spoke slowly.

"Your Majesty, I have an extremely important thing here. I have to let you decide."

Li Shimin was afraid that he would not accept it, so he sat down.

In addition, he can't stand for a long time now, he said:

"Tell me!"

Empress Changsun and Concubine Yang also listened.

They also wanted to know what happened and why Dai Zhou had this expression.

"Things about our treasury!"

"Treasury? What's wrong?"

Li Shimin was surprised.

Why do you suddenly talk about the treasury?

What does this mean?

He said anxiously again:

"What's wrong with the treasury? Tell me quickly! What's wrong?"

Everyone seemed to notice something was wrong.

"There is not much money in the treasury. It is about to lose money!"

"How many more?"

"It's only enough for the court to operate for seven days!"

"What?! This is impossible."

"Yes, how is this possible?"

Empress Changsun said as well.

Concubine Yang asked: "Is it only seven days? Why didn't you find out earlier? Why didn't you say it earlier?"

This problem is embarrassing.

"It was just liquidated recently! In addition, the Chinese New Year is coming. The court's expenses continue to expand, and I only spent a lot of money yesterday! And some time ago, 100 million taels of defensive fortifications were allocated. In addition, a lot of money was spent on the construction of Chang'an tracks...

There are also tax preferential treatments from Shengtang Group.

This incident alone caused the court's income to drop sharply. Now the treasury's money is not enough to make ends meet!"

The importance of the group is amazing. Li Shimin just treated him with preferential treatment, and this happened! It was shocking!

The treasury will be deficit, which is already an extraordinary thing.

You know, if it is really a deficit, then the impact on the Tang Dynasty would be huge.

This is the first time that Li Shimin is about to lose money after becoming emperor.

That would cause a series of trouble.

The court has no money and can't do anything. Even operation has become a problem!

That's why Dai Zhou performed like this today.

"Who else knows about this?"

"Only I know! Others don't know yet!"

Why did Li Shimin ask this? It was very shocking. Are you afraid that someone would know that he had no money?

"Is there a way to solve it?"

Concubine Yang asked.

"There are a few ways."

"Hmm? Tell me!"

Li Shimin asked.

"The first method is to sell the assets of the court and follow the example of the Sixth Prince. Now the Sixth Prince sells some unworked industries to the public to recover a large amount of funds. Our court may be able to do this, such as the mining rights of some minerals, and some books. If some of these things are sold, they can last for at least another month!"

"No! These are state-owned things and cannot be sold!"

Li Shimin refused without thinking.

"What about the second solution?"

Concubine Yang asked.

"The second one is to raise taxes in a short period of time so that the court can survive this dangerous period. This is also the fastest!"

But his proposal was rejected by Li Shimin again.

"No! Raising taxes will only make public opinion boil. Although income will increase in the short term, it will hurt the people's hearts in the future. Who will believe in the court in the future, and even make the entire Tang Dynasty shock! That's not what I want to see!"

"Is this not OK?"

Dai Zhou sighed.

“Is there any more?”

Li Shimin asked again.

“Cancel preferential treatment to the group?”

"No! Is there any?"

Li Shimin still refused!

Reject this, there is really nothing to do.

"There is no more here!"

"Maybe there is still a way out there? Why don't I go and ask?"

Concubine Yang took the initiative to ask.

But Li Shimin refused.

"No, this is a state affairs, how can you let you come forward again! Let me think about it!"

Everyone doesn't say anything anymore.

This is not OK, that is not OK, so what should I do?

Dai Zhou really couldn't think of a solution.

Li Shimin thought for a while but couldn't think of a better way.

So Dai Zhou said, "It's better to let all civil and military officials go to court and let everyone think about it together?"

If you can't imagine it, then brainstorm! Let more officials participate.

But Li Shimin said: "No! If this matter spreads now, it may cause some unnecessary panic!"

After all, the treasury only has seven days of stock, and now only Dai Zhou knows about it.

But if you really go to court, you will definitely know.
