At this time, everyone was immersed in their own money. Who would be crazy enough to oppose the Emperor's words?
This was a good thing. As long as the money was deposited in the Imperial Plantation, not only would it be fireproof and burglarizing, but it would also earn interest. For people like them who had countless assets, who would dare to oppose it? There would definitely be people who would dare to tear them apart in the court!
And it was obvious that the Emperor had been planning this for a long time. Who would oppose it at this time?
Fool?
Wait for the same fate as Hou Can!
Thinking of this.
In the hall, there was a burst of chaotic discussion.
For the first time, Li Shimin felt the heroic feeling of strategizing.
Last night's talk.
Suddenly, Li Shimin thought of a way to make quick money!
That was to start from the court!
Which of the hundreds of officials present didn't have hundreds of mu of land?
In Chang 'an City, who didn't have a few properties?
However, as the saying goes, the higher you stand, the less courage you have.
At this time, there was a way for them to deposit their money in the Imperial Plantation without worrying about the danger of fire or theft. Who would dare to oppose it?
Thinking of this, and looking at the people in the hall who were getting more and more excited, Li Shimin said again, "And for this first experiment, I plan to not care about the identity of the depositor. Even if he is a slave, even if he saves a penny, I will personally give him a token!"
"The person who has this token can enjoy the highest standard of treatment. And if he borrows money from a loan, I will waive the interest for a year!"
Not care about identity?
There was such a token?
Everyone was shocked.
Hurriedly, someone asked excitedly with a red face and neck, "Your Majesty, how many tokens are there in total?"
"If there are too many, won't it cause chaos in the world? The taxes of the Tang Dynasty, won't … "
Li Shimin waved his hand lightly.
"My dear minister, you can rest assured that I have prepared a hundred tokens! And each token has my engraved seal. Even if he is a merchant, with this token, he will be exempted from the right to kneel in front of officials! And he will also enjoy the right to half the tax exemption on all the properties under his name! "
"Buzz!"
All the officials' heads exploded.
"There is … such a benefit!"
"A hundred tokens!"
"My God!"
"Your Majesty! This old subject has something to report! "
At this moment, the red-robed official stood up excitedly and shouted.
Instantly, everyone couldn't help but look at that person.
It was the Chief of the Dragoneer Temple.
Li Shimin waved his hand.
"Summon him!"
The Minister of Agriculture asked, "I'm not talented, but if the people in the imperial court want to save money … do they have this token?"
"Oh?"
Li Shimin smiled.
"Lu Xingwang, I remember that you don't have much money left in your salary, right? However, the Sinongsi Temple seems to be a little rich. I won't ask. As long as you save, even if it's just one tael of silver, I will give you a token! "
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Lu Xingwang was so excited that the booklets on his face squeezed his eyes into slits. He hurriedly kowtowed.
However, Li Shimin waved his hand and said, "But when you save money, the Ministry of Works will check the accounts of all your properties. This is an explanation to me. I know that all of you have properties. After all, you are the pillars of the Tang Dynasty. These one hundred tokens are a kind of protection for my people!"
"As for your properties, I also have to protect them! If word gets out that I can't even protect the properties of my own officials, won't I become a joke in the world? "
"This … Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Lu Xingwang hesitated for a moment, but in the end, he thanked him excitedly.
When everyone saw that Lu Xingwang got a token so easily, they were all envious!
One after another, they knelt and begged.
What was this?
As long as they had this token, it meant that the Emperor had acknowledged that all their money would be theirs!
This was really money falling from the sky!
Previously, all the officials were trembling in fear, afraid that the Emperor would be dissatisfied if they earned too much.
But now, the Emperor had personally said such a thing. Didn't that mean that as long as their money came from a clean source, then …
However, among these people, Wei Zheng, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, and even Cheng Yaojin laughed.
Idiots, they were all a bunch of idiots!
It seemed that this plan didn't need them to act anymore. This Lu Xingwang was really …
Good timing!
Which one of the officials present didn't have more than ten thousand taels of silver?
If these one hundred officials all deposited money in the Imperial Plantation at the same time, the publicity effect would be incomparable!
One hundred tokens?
That was prepared for these people in the first place.
As for the real purpose …
Haha!
In this way, not only would the crisis in Chang 'an and the state governments be solved in an instant, but such a butterfly effect would be fully carried out by the officials at all levels. Under the effect, how many businessmen would deposit money in the Imperial Plantation at this time?
Then, the Emperor would take out their money and lend it out. This cycle would never stop, just like the waterwheel in the imperial garden.
In the end, the Tang Dynasty only paid an overall investment of less than fifty million taels of silver!
With this scoop of water, the economic lifeline of the entire Tang Dynasty was in the hands of the Emperor. It could be seen that Zhang Feng and his brother were terrifying.
Li Shimin, Wei Zheng, and the others looked at each other and stood up again.
He asked loudly, "I'll ask one last time. Who agrees? Who opposes? "
At this time, who would object?
Everyone seemed to have gone crazy. They all showed compliments that they had never shown before, knelt on the ground, and shouted:
"We congratulate the Tang Dynasty on its longevity! Congratulations to Your Majesty, the country will be strong forever! "
