Chapter 312 Just as they were discussing what happened to Li Shimin's glasses, Li Shimin came over and walked onto the dragon throne.

Li Shimin looked at the ministers below and smiled and said, "My dear friends, are there anything going on today?"

"I have something to report!" At this time, a minister stood up and spoke, "It was the minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, who was talking about the money needed in various places this year, and also handed over the memorial.

Generally, Li Shimin made Wang Ennian a case, but at this time, Li Shimin took out a box, opened it, took out reading glasses from it, and put them on. The ministers below were stunned. Could it be the glasses they just mentioned?

"Well, the suggestion is good, but most of the income of the Ministry of Civil Affairs this year has been in the warehouse, right? Why is there such a large vacancies?" Li Shimin finished reading and looked up at Tang Jian, the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and said.

"Go back to Your Majesty, several places have suffered droughts and floods this year. The subsidies for those affected prefectures have been subsidized by about 500,000 guan. At the same time, the Yangtze River, Yellow River, Huaihe River and other embankments have been strengthened. The Ministry of Industry has paid about 210,000 guan. These two sums have exceeded the budget before!" Tang Jian stood up and bowed to Li Shimin.

"Well, the Chinese New Year is coming soon. It's the end of the year. The gap between the Ministry of Civil Affairs has reached 700,000 yuan. How to settle the account?" Li Shimin then asked Tang Jian.

"Your Majesty, the Ministry of Civil Affairs has 200,000 guan of money and grain. At the same time, several factories still have 20,000 guan to account by the end of the year. In addition, there are about 150,000 guan in the Royal Supermarket. Overall, it is difficult to settle the account with 350,000 guan!" Tang Jian stood there and spoke.

"Also, Princess Wencheng got married this year, and various expenses exceeded 100,000 guan. This money was also paid by the Ministry of Civil Affairs!" Changsun Wuji also stood up and said.

"Yeah!" Li Shimin heard it, nodded, and then asked, "350,000 guan is not a trivial matter. Can it be delayed until next year?"

"I'm afraid it won't work! Before the end of the year, the military pay of the frontier soldiers will have to prepare 500,000 jin of money to send it, otherwise the soldiers will not be paid!" Tang Jian shook his head and said.

"Your Majesty, I have something to say!" Li Ji stood up and spoke.

"Well, you said!" His Majesty stared at Li Ji and asked.

"The military pay from the northwest, north, and northeastern frontiers has been sent, but the military pay from other places has not been sent yet. I have been urging Lord Tang to urge Lord Tang! If I were a few days later, I might not be able to deliver the military pay to the soldiers before the Spring Festival!" Li Ji stood there and said, now he is the Minister of War.

"Is there still a shortage of 500,000 jin of military pay?" Li Shimin was also a little panicked. If so, it would be troublesome.

"Yes!" Tang Jian stood there and spoke.

"This!" When Li Shimin heard this, he became anxious. He took off his glasses and placed them on the table, looking at Tang Jian. The military pay must not be less, as it will be messy if it is less. It is natural for him to be a soldier to eat imperial food.

"I don't care what method you use, I must raise 500,000 jin of money. Within three days, all the military pay will be sent out. Now the money from the Civil Affairs Department will be given priority to the military pay! Let's go far away first!" Li Shimin stared at Tang Jian and the others, and his mood was gone.

"Your Majesty, can you second 350,000 yuan from the Ministry of Works first?" Changsun Wuji stood there and said,

At this moment, Li Shimin fully understood that those people were thinking about money from the Ministry of Works. They knew that at this time, Li Shimin would not agree.

"You, you!" Zhang Liang was not stupid when he heard this. He immediately stood up and pointed at the officials of the Ministry of Civil Affairs. He was so angry!

Their Ministry of Works has more than 1.2 million guan of cash during this period, but in the next few days, it is the time of large-scale purchases. It is expected that 400,000 guan will be spent to purchase various raw materials. With this capital, there is also the 200,000 guan of money left in the previous surplus. The money that really belongs to the Royal Supermarket is about 600,000 guan.

The Ministry of Works received 60% of the money, which is about 360,000 yuan. In other words, all the money was cut off by the Ministry of Civil Affairs. Zhang Liang must not do this. This is simply bullying people. The officials of the Ministry of Works found out and didn't scold them.

"Well, Your Majesty, I really have no other way!" Tang Jian finished speaking, turned his head and looked at Zhang Liang, and smiled proudly.

"Your Majesty, I cannot give them 350,000 guan. If this is given, how can I explain to the people below and how can I give to the public to Hu Guo?

When Boping came, he still had 20,000 guan in his account, and he still owed more than 100,000 guan outside. When he left, he still had more than 600,000 guan in his office. If he lost 350,000 guan, how could he be worthy of him?

They thought the Ministry of Works was easy to bully? They deliberately issued other money first, kept the military pay and finally paid, and focused on the money from our Ministry of Works!" Zhang Liang was so anxious, his face turned red.

They were too sinister. At this time, the entire court was the royal treasury and the Ministry of Works. They wanted to raise 500,000 guan. The Ministry of Civil Affairs now had 350,000 guan, but in fact there was only 200,000 guan in the account, so they must keep some.

So I decided to pay attention to the profits of the Royal Supermarket, they have to take them all in.

"Tang Jian, this is a bit too much!" Of course Li Shimin also understood. If he took it all away, the Ministry of Works will definitely not do it. There are more than 50 factories working day and night. After making some money, he hopes to say that the treatment is better. It is the end of the year, and he will be paid more. Now, the Ministry of Civil Affairs will take all of them all at once.

"I have no choice. Your Majesty and Lord Zhang can go to investigate, it is all important expenses!" Tang Jian stood there, looking helpless.

"Your Majesty, the military pay is always the first priority in the army!" Zhang Liang shouted loudly, and the meaning was obvious. Don't treat us as fools. No matter how much you spend, military pay must be reserved.

"Well, Wang En, how much money is left in my treasury?" Li Shimin was in a bad mood and knew that he could not let the Ministry of Works pay all the money.

"Your Majesty, now I have 80,000 jin of money in the treasury. In addition, I don't know how much dividends can be distributed in the paper mill, printing factory and royal supermarket!" Wang En stood there and started talking. When Li Shimin heard it, he stared at Li Zhi and started to look.

"When I go back to my father, I expect that the profit to be attributed to our royal family will be about 90,000 guan! There are also thousands of guan of expenses for next year's expenses!" Li Zhi knew what Li Shimin meant and immediately reported.

Then Li Shimin looked at Li Tai, and Li Tai also stood up to report: "The printing factory has just generated profits because the printing factory has turned all the money into paper. There are now a large number of paper mills in the warehouse, and the cash is less than 20,000 guan!"

"Yeah!" Li Shimin was worried when he heard this. How much money?

"In this way, I will withdraw 100,000 guan from the treasury and go to the Ministry of Civil Affairs. Zhang Liang, your Ministry of Works will withdraw 150,000 guan. I will not care about how your Ministry of Civil Affairs finds a way to find a way. Within three days, all the military pay will be paid, Li Ji!" Li Shimin said and called Li Ji.

"I'm here!" Li Ji stood there and bowed his hand.

"Look at the money from the Ministry of Civil Affairs. If it has not been sent out on the third day, come to me!" Li Shimin said to Li Ji.

"Yes, thank you Your Majesty!" Li Ji immediately bowed and said.

"Your Majesty, I am, I am!" Zhang Liang felt so hatred. Before the money was heated, they had already pulled half of it.

"Okay, let's not talk about it, what else should I report!" Li Shimin also said upset. The people from the Ministry of Civil Affairs were really good. They actually stuck to the military pay of the Ministry of War and forced Zhang Liang to take out the money.

Then the other adults submitted the memorial. Li Shimin watched the memorial himself. The ministers below watched it. After Li Shimin finished handling the government affairs, Changsun Wuji couldn't help asking. He was presbyopic and couldn't see clearly.

"Your Majesty, the one you wear?" Changsun Wuji looked at Li Shimin and asked.

"Oh, you are talking about this, hahaha, my son-in-law gave it to you, it's so useful, I can read it clearly. Last night, I read the book for the night happily.

Tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk, Boping is amazing. He told me earlier that he would give me a gift and make sure I like it. I don’t know what it is. He sent it here last night. I really like it!" Li Shimin was very happy, and even took it off and wiped it gently with a piece of cloth.

"Is it useful?" At this time, Fang Xuanling also looked at Li Shimin and asked.

"Of course it's useful. Come on, let them see it and let them be careful, but don't throw it away. It's very precious!" Li Shimin said as he handed over the glasses to Wang En, letting Wang En take them down and show them.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Wang En said, then took his glasses and first arrived at Duke Zhao. Changsun Wuji took it, and then a minister next to him handed it to Changsun Wuji a book for him to see.

"Oh, it's clear, it's so clear!" Changsun Wuji flipped through the book and said in shock. Then he took off his glasses and looked at them. He couldn't see clearly, so he put them on and saw them very clearly.

"Tsk tsk tsk tsk, Your Majesty, this, this is really good!" Changsun Wuji looked up at Li Shimin and said.

"Of course, Boping gave me a gift. If you need it, ask Boping to do it for you!" Li Shimin said proudly.

"Show me!" Fang Xuanling said anxiously, and he also wanted to take a look. If it worked, he would go to Boping to ask for a look.

"It's useful, it's really useful!" Changsun Wuji said and handed it to Fang Xuanling, who also took the book and started reading it.

"Tsk tsk tsk tsk, why is Boping so powerful? Can you make such things?" Fang Xuanling said in surprise.

"Show me!" Cheng Yaojin stood there and said with his hand.

"No, don't give it to that old man!" Li Shimin immediately stood up and shouted. He was worried that once he reached Cheng Yaojin's hand, could he still have to come back.

"Stingy, please take a look! Is it useful?" Cheng Yaojin looked at Li Shimin with contempt.
