Chapter 629 Little Fox
"Stay at home, Duke Wei has entered Beijing."
The eunuch Wang Lin entered the hall lightly with his footsteps and reported to the emperor who was eating snacks. When the crown prince Chengqian heard that Qin Lang had arrived, he couldn't help but put down the porcelain bowl in his hand and wanted to get up. Empress Changsun smiled and said, "Look, when Chengqian heard that Sanlang was coming, the soul of this person was gone."
Chengqian then stood still, "Sage, I haven't seen the teacher for a long time, I want to go and greet him."
Li Shimin held a bowl of lotus seeds and twig fungus soup in his hand, "Didn't I send Yulin Lang out of the capital to greet him for a hundred miles, and I also specially gave him golden armor to enter the city with a military chariot, and promote the joy of the nine divisions in front and behind, and forty people in the squad sword?"
Wang Lin quickly replied, "Duke Wei and Ma Hanlin entered the city, and did not bring the guard of honor and did not open the show, so the Yulin Lang who went to greet him could not receive anyone."
"I want to give him a grand triumphal ceremony for Qin Sanlang, but he quietly entered Chang'an City." Li Shimin smiled slightly, but knew that it must be Qin Lang's intention, otherwise there would be no reason why Yu Linlang would not be able to welcome anyone. Yu Linlang is the emperor's disciple, and he would not miss it. It seems that although Qin Lang is very domineering in Longyou, he is not very low-key after returning to Beijing.
This is very good. He was also worried that Qin Lang would have changed his temperament after he had been away for two years.
"Sage, the son minister is willing to welcome the teacher."
Li Shimin looked at his son who was getting taller and taller. He was no longer much shorter than him. He began to have a mustache on his lips. As soon as he opened his mouth, his voice changed. In the past two years in Luoyang, Chengqian performed very well in the Chang'an Supervisor. Li Jing, Wang Gui and other left-behind ministers gave very high evaluations.
Judging from his current appearance, Cheng Qian has a deep friendship with Qin Lang, which is quite good.
"Okay, you will go to welcome your teacher in person. I guess he is anxious to go home. If you welcome him, go back to the Duke of Wei's Mansion in Pingkangfang and give me some good words to you. I will give him three days off first, and then enter the palace to meet the saint in three days."
"Thank you saint."
Cheng Qian happily dismissed and turned around and left.
Li Shimin looked at his son's back as he left, and said to Empress Changsun, "Guanyin Maid, have you noticed that Chengqian has grown up?"
"My son is about to be thirteen years old, of course he has grown up."
Li Shimin sighed, "This time I go back to Chang'an, I feel that Chengqian and I are a little alienated and unfamiliar with me."
"After all, it's normal not to see each other for two years."
"I don't think it's all because of this, and I can't say it. I suddenly felt a little jealous when I saw his attitude towards Qin Lang just now."
Empress Changsun couldn't help but chuckled, "Sanlang is only eight years older than Chengqian. She said she was a teacher. In fact, the two of them can be regarded as friends. You also know that Qin Sanlang is sometimes more casual and interesting, so Chengqian has always had a good relationship with him."
"It's not only because of the good relationship, but Guanyin maid, do you know that Chengqian stayed in Chang'an and Qin Lang was in Longyou in the past two years, but how much money did he get for the Eastern Palace? Millions of coins were made!" Li Shimin sighed.
Empress Changsun has focused on having children in the past two years. After joining the group, she went to Luoyang. She really didn't pay much attention to Chengqian and the Eastern Palace, and was shocked when she heard about it.
"Impossible, millions of dollars?"
"What's impossible? Can I still talk nonsense? You also know that Qin Sanlang's ability to make money is unparalleled. Do you know why Hou Junji Tang Jian, Zheng Yuanchun, and Xiao Yu tried his best to impeach him so much, because this kid is indeed a bit ugly. Not to mention that he had not made a lot of money in the previous two battles in Longyou, just say that the last battle in Tuyuhun, this kid's appetite was too big. Millions of livestock, countless materials and seized, only left 10% for me, 20% for the court, and the rest were all divided."
Empress Changsun also helped Li Shimin take charge of the treasury and occasionally checked the accounts. Hearing this, "No, the 10% Qin Lang gave everyone is not millions? How could it be that much for Chengqian?"
"You don't know what this is. The 10% Qin Lang gave me was 10% of the discount for sale after the Longyou Army was seized, and it has not included war horses or other items."
There were indeed too many seizures in the Battle of Tuyuhun, but the problem was that what was given to Li Shimin was the 10% discount after selling the spoils from the Longyou Army. Although the gift to Chengqian was not on the surface, Qin Lang used his own head coach to allow many companies under the name or shareholding of the East Palace, including Jiade Bank of the East Palace, or the shares, to participate in the Battle of Tuyuhun early.
From borrowing to supply of materials, transportation, and handling of spoils, you don’t make too much money from going in and out.
The emperor got a dry component, but the prince Chengqian made several money through the merchants controlled by the East Palace. As a result, the share Li Shimin got was far less than that of Chengqian.
Li Shimin was naturally very jealous.
After understanding the commercial operation of the Battle of Qin Lang and Longyou, Li Shimin was actually very impressed. No wonder he could destroy Tuyuhun in half a year with the power of Longyou. The commercialization operation here is very good. Various investment promotions do not require the imperial court to transfer money and grain, so they can handle it themselves.
However, this also reminded Li Shimin that this kind of operation is very dangerous.
After all, the army has always been a double-edged sword. If one is not good, it is easy to cut itself. Therefore, the court has always attached great importance to military management. Under the current system of government troops, soldiers and generals are separated and going to fight. The emperor selects generals, the Ministry of War issues orders, the twelve guards send troops, and the generals lead the government troops to fight. The court also has the most important money, food and supplies.
Therefore, the generals of the Tang Dynasty went out to fight. No matter how many soldiers the commanded, the emperor generally did not have to worry too much, because the generals gathered temporarily, and were not the kind of long-term superior-level relationship. The soldiers were also drawn from various places. It was difficult for military soldiers to form a stable group. Military groups like the Tiance Mansion that year were difficult to appear again.
Not to mention that even the border troops led by the governor's offices in the border areas are small in number and small in defense areas, and the court has been controlling the Mingmen through money, grain and weapons.
However, Qin Lang completely got rid of the control measures of the court in the last battle of Longyou. How could this not make the emperor secretly shocked? Although he believed that Qin Lang had no ambition and the generals would not obey, after all, this was a bad sign, a possibility of breaking away from control.
In the past, when the imperial court fought every year, he tried his best to pay money, money, grain, arms, horses, post-war pensions, rewards, and mobilization of civilians, etc., it took too much manpower, material resources and wealth. But this time, Qin Lang fought in the war, and he made money, but he made not a little bit of money.
The East Palace made the most money inside and outside, and made millions of yuan. Although the key strategic-level materials such as war horses, armor, weapons, cowhide, horns and tendons, Qin Lang did not dare to leave them for the East Palace, but the money given to the East Palace was the only one.
But Li Shimin had long known the importance of money. Money can make the devil push, let alone the army is the most expensive place.
"Although Chengqian East Palace has remained in Chang'an in the past two years, there are a lot of subordinates, but with the 3,000 princes, the total is only about 20,000 yuan, so how can I need so much money? I will ask Chengqian to hand over this money to our inner palace tomorrow."
Li Shimin snorted.
"I don't lack money, let alone even if I lack money, can I rob my son's money?"
Empress Changsun couldn't help but burst out as she looked at her husband's arrogant look.
"Isn't my son's money just my money? Cheng Qian is still young in the end."
"I am not short of money, and I will not rob Cheng Qian of money. I want to see what Cheng Qian has so much money in his hands, so what will he do!"
The emperor felt a little sad, several million guan. When he was the first to ascend the throne, the court did not earn so much money in the annual finances and taxes. At that time, the court only had about one million guan a year of cash, and the rest were physical taxes such as grain and cloth. Although there was no shortage of money in recent years, it was several million guan.
Although this is the profit after Qin Lang miraculously destroyed Tuyuhun and almost robbed the entire Tuyuhun, it is indeed a little more.
The prince who was less than thirteen years old had a profit of millions of chunks at once, and this private money was too much.
In fact, Qin Lang also made a lot of money for the emperor. Not only did he share a 10% trophy sales money for him, but the war horses he gave to the emperor were worth a lot of money. Not to mention, since Qin Lang brought the Prince's Jiade Bank and others into the Longyou War to cooperate, how could he lose the emperor's inner treasury?
Kaiyuan Money House, Royal Inner Mansion and others were also invited to participate, and naturally they made a lot of profits in the end, but the emperor's eyes were red by the millions of income that Cheng Qian had been shaking.
"Everyone, how much did Qin Lang earn this time?" Queen Changsun and her husband had been married for many years. They knew their husband's personality very well, so they asked with a smile.
"Qin Sanlang certainly won't make a small profit. As for the specific numbers, I don't know. This kid is like a fox, very cunning, and it is difficult for ordinary people to understand his background. I only know that he is definitely the one who makes the most money, after all, he did the whole thing."
It’s not too early to get up without profit. If there is no great benefit, will Qin Sanlang jump up and down so much? If there is no great benefit, he will definitely not take such a big risk to launch the Western Expedition.
This kid is clear that he can't afford to get up early without profit and is very careful.
However, although this kid can make money, he is clever and will never do any stupid means of embezzlement and encroachment, but is reasonable, legal and reasonable. He has arranged businesses in various twists and turns to join in and trade, and even owns shares in the businesses under the name of the East Palace. All the agents are there, but they make a lot of money.
A guy who can fight, make money, and is not at all worry-free. If this guy hadn't been very obedient now, he would have wanted to kick him back to Wu'anzhou, Lingnan and let him squat on the mountain and seaside to hunt and fish.
But after all, this kid is a really capable person, and Li Shimin is really inseparable from this kid.
The Daming Palace has been half repaired and has been suspended for more than two years. Is it impossible to stop there halfway, right?
