Chapter 470 The Empress's Mind
Chapter 470 The Empress's Mind
Tai Chi Palace.
Lizheng Hall.
Li Shimin frowned, knocked on the table and sighed: "The imperial court is short of money, and it is really unable to prepare for the establishment of the Academy of Sciences in a short time.
I heard that Qing Que called Li Zhi just now, and the two went to the East Palace together.
The prince has always been good at business, and he thinks there will be a solution. "
Empress Changsun smiled sweetly, tilted her head slightly and said, "Could it be that Erlang forgot.
How did Jing Er ask Ma Zhou to come forward to raise funds in order to properly arrange for the fallen soldiers? "
Li Shimin was startled when he heard the words, and suddenly realized: "The Queen's intention is...to raise donations?"
Empress Changsun nodded, and replied with a smile: "If the family wants to go to school, Jinger will definitely not let them do so easily.
Besides, the people in Beijing are talking about the new cloth recently, so he must have made a lot of money by relying on the loom. "
Li Shimin was secretly happy when he heard the words, the Tang court had been short of money for a long time.
It's just that with Empress Changsun watching, his desire to seize Li Jing's wealth may not be easy to realize.
What's more, cloth is a livelihood resource.
If the price is too high, it will inevitably increase the burden on the people, which is extremely inconsistent with his original intention.
"The queen knows, how does the prince want to deal with this matter?
Could it be that he wants to auction again? "
Li Shimin pondered for a moment, then asked curiously.
Empress Changsun smiled, shook her head and said, "Jing'er never told my concubine about this matter.
But thinking about the [-] guan filial silver, Jing Er will definitely give it in time. "
"One hundred thousand strings!!!"
A gleam flashed in Li Shimin's eyes, he squinted his eyes and said happily: "The prince is not yet of age, so you can't privately accumulate wealth.
On weekdays, I have never deducted a single cent from the expenses of the Eastern Palace, so I reluctantly accept the remaining copper coins. "
Empress Changsun frowned slightly, and responded dissatisfied: "Erlang.
Jing'er's wealth is the private property of the royal family and should be kept by the courtiers and concubines.
If Erlang wanted to use this to subsidize the court's expenses, the courtiers and concubines would never agree. "
Li Shimin smacked his lips when he heard the words, and said with a sullen expression: "Guanyin maidservant.
Nowadays, various natural disasters continue, and the imperial court cannot make ends meet with taxes.
If I don't find a way to help make up for one or two, I'm afraid I won't even be able to distribute the salaries of hundreds of officials next year. "
"Erlang can help the victims in the name of the royal family, but the money from the inner treasury must not subsidize the imperial court.
Erlang also knows that a clear distinction between public and private is the long-term way.
Once this example is opened, there will be endless troubles! "
Empress Changsun firmly shook her head.
She didn't want decades later, all the officials would ask Li Jing for money.
It's just that she didn't know that hundreds of years later, Song and Ming officials exploited the royal family in this way.
Seeing this, Li Shimin smiled helplessly, shook his head and sighed: "In that case, let the Queen handle this matter.
In the future, if the imperial court is unable to provide disaster relief, it will allocate money and food in the name of the queen to relieve the victims. "
"Erlang, don't worry, my concubine will ensure that the victims are safe and sound."
……
"Your Highness.
This is the ten-day account of the bookstore and the cloth workshop. Please read it through your highness. "
East Palace.
Li Zhengdian.
Chen Wan presented an account book with both hands, lowered her head and said calmly.
Li Jing flipped through it casually for a while, and suddenly felt a headache.
Calculating accounts was not a pleasant thing in the age without calculators.
"I believe you, there is no need to check."
Li Jing pretended to be indifferent and said.
Chen Wanzhi's heart trembled when she heard this, and a blush appeared on her cheeks.
"Thank you, His Royal Highness."
Chen Wanfu saluted, thought for a while and said, "But Your Highness.
Recently, the Cheng family, the Fang family, the eldest grandson's family... all sent people to inquire.
Everyone wants to know whether this loom can be sold. "
"Sell!
Why not sell it? "
Li Jing smiled slightly, nodded and said: "With the power of the royal family alone, it is inevitable that we will not be able to promote the textile workshop in three to five years.
However, the industrialization of textiles can benefit hundreds of thousands of people.
Only in this way, folk handicraft workshops will inevitably be unsustainable.
A large number of people who make a living by this will also be affected by it.
If the imperial court does not respond early, the people suffering will surely be worse than natural disasters. "
When Chen Wan heard the words, she nodded in doubt.
Although she doesn't know what industrialization is, she also knows the impact of new and new things on the old market.
Just like the new papermaking technology, all the bookstores in the capital are now closed.
No one dares to print books easily without obtaining the corresponding means.
"But Your Highness.
If it sells textile machines, it may be difficult for the cloth workshop to compete with the big family. "
Chen Wan reminded carefully.
The manpower of the aristocratic family costs almost no money, so the cloth they sell will naturally be cheaper than others.
Once the aristocratic family is allowed to obtain the textile machine, the royal family and merchants will inevitably be suppressed by the aristocratic family.
"It's okay.
Since the raw materials are not as cheap as the aristocratic family, it is fine not to sell the raw materials. "
Li Jing stroked his chin and thought for a while, then said confidently: "You can recruit more experienced and intelligent female workers, and just change the cloth workshop into a tailor-made clothing workshop."
"Clothes shop?!"
Chen Wan raised her head in surprise, frowned and advised, "Your Highness doesn't know anything.
The common people buy linen and make their own clothes.
If the cloth shop sells ready-made clothes, the common people will definitely not patronize. "
"If the common people don't buy it, don't there still be nobles?
What's more, you can sell linen clothes at a very cheap price.
In addition, silk clothing is sold at a very expensive price.
As long as the female craftsmen are extraordinary, the nobles and common people will naturally flock to them.
of course.
Even if the female worker is not good, I can give you some advice.
Bengong guarantees that after half a year, the tailor shop will become famous all over the world! "
Li Jing stood up and said with high spirits.
The luxuries of later generations can make thousands of women lose their wisdom, and the women of the Tang Dynasty must not be able to escape this kind of temptation.
As long as the profits of silk garments are sufficient, the losses of linen garments can naturally be offset.
And with his current status, opening a clothing store was not for money.
The people benefit and the world is stable, which is his greatest gain.
……
at the same time.
Hengshan County Prince's Mansion.
Li Chengqian hugged Xin, and sat on the side of the gazebo with a face full of comfort.
Li Yifu frowned slightly when he saw it.
After thinking about it, he tentatively said, "My lord.
Yesterday, His Majesty decreed that the King of Han should leave the palace and choose a mansion to live in another residence.
Judging from what the King of Han did in the past, he must have hated His Royal Highness the Crown Prince deeply.
It's just that now the king of Han is behind closed doors, and none of the people sent by the Cui and Wang families can enter.
If Your Majesty wants to join forces with the King of Han, he still needs to think of a way to conceal it properly. "
Li Chengqian shook his head when he heard the words, and said seriously: "Don't act too hastily.
Now that the capital is full of spies, Li Ke must be watched by his father and Li Jing.
If the king sends someone to contact him, Li Jing will definitely use tricks to deal with the king again.
If the king expected nothing wrong.
The matter of the former living in Zuixianlou must be Li Jing's method.
Although this king doesn't know why he is like this, he is the only one in the whole world who can be so shameless! "
Li Yifu nodded in agreement, stroked his beard and squinted his eyes and said: "Han Wang is favored by His Majesty, and it has been smooth sailing for several years.
Being punished by His Majesty under such impulsiveness, his heart must be full of resentment.
Presumably it won't be long before the King of Han will look for an opportunity to confront His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
If the king is not willing to join forces with him, it is not a bad idea to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight. "
"Humph!
Although Li Ke is somewhat clever, he is by no means a match for Li Jing.
If this king really sits on the mountain and watches the tigers fight, he will definitely be removed by Li Jing's design.
You just find an opportunity to send someone to contact him, and say that the king is willing to join hands with him to fight the enemy.
If he is willing to obey this king's order, this king will guarantee him that he will be under one person and above ten thousand people in the future! "
"Your Majesty Yingming!"
Li Yifu sent a flattery.
Yi Xin fixed her eyes and sighed quietly.
Li Chengqian treated him very well, he really didn't want to betray Li Chengqian.
But thinking of Li Jing's power, he couldn't resist at all.
I just hope that Li Jing will keep his promise in the future and give him a place to stay.
