"Their money is converted, and it is about 10 million yuan at present!" Li Shimin spitted an astronomical figure out of his mouth, "And I suspect this is not all of them at all. Damn it, there was news before that they have been secretly doing business with the Turks. I don't believe it very much. Now it seems that it is true."

"This is possible, but it is also a accumulation of hundreds of years." Huo Gang smiled, not caring about it. As for the Taiyuan Wang family, what should I say, the Taiyuan Wang family actually had some moral integrity during this period, which was much better than the Taiyuan Wang family in the Ming Dynasty.

The Taiyuan Wang family in the late Ming Dynasty... If Zhu Yuanzhang was there, he would have killed nine clans long ago.

The reason why Huo Gang doesn't care now is that the Turks are about to be extinct, and it cannot be said that the Turks are gone, the nomadic people on the grassland are almost gone, and the little Khans of the Eastern Turks are now living in Chang'an City, and the other Turkic nobles have long been dealt with by Li Shimin.

After all, the Tang Dynasty was different from history. It was not that they surrendered voluntarily, but that the Tang Dynasty had dealt with them. The defeated people naturally had no privileges. As for ordinary plans, the people were the people, because the Tang Dynasty's strategy of treating them was similar to the strategy of treating the Turks, but they were not as good as the Han Dynasty.

However, the Tang Dynasty treated these ordinary Turkic herdsmen as they treated the people of the Tang Dynasty. They did not lack food or anything. Ordinary herdsmen could not be hungry, and they had food, drink, and had better houses to live in. They had already gradually returned home and would not resist at all.

Only fools resist.

I resisted before because I couldn't survive, and before the Tang Dynasty, I couldn't raise so many people, so I had no choice but to the grassland. Now that I don't lack food, everything is so easy to deal with.

More importantly, the Tang Dynasty had enough intimidation. The war horses from the Han Dynasty and the armed 20,000 cavalrymen of the Tang Dynasty were invincible on the grassland and extremely powerful. The Eastern Turkic cavalry were all destroyed. Ordinary small tribes didn't even dare to say nonsense, because they used to hide in the depths of the grassland, but now? They can't even run away, so of course they won't run away.

Therefore, the northern border of the Tang Dynasty is now extremely stable, and Li Shimin also learned the Han Dynasty, immigrated and taught these Turkish Chinese, so the integration between the two sides was quite good. In the next ten years, there were no Turkic people at all.

"If he did business in the Tang Dynasty, could he make so much money?" Li Shimin couldn't help rolling his eyes.

"Okay, Your Majesty, don't be angry. Now everywhere is from the Tang Dynasty. If they have money, they will soon fall into your hands. And this time they will probably be squeezed out by you. In the following decades, their family's main wealth was on railways and various factories. Isn't this wealth still something the royal family can take back if they want to?" Huo Gang said with a smile.

"Not as simple as you said. Although I am the emperor, the most important thing about the emperor is also credibility. If they do not break the law, they will naturally not be taken back." Li Shimin was not so angry when he heard this.

"Hahaha, of course it's right to say that. It's naturally the best for them to abide by the law. But think about it from another perspective, if they don't make so much money, can you have so much money at one time start building across the country?" Huo Gang said with a laugh a few times.

Li Shimin thought about it and it seemed that this was the truth.

Since that's the case, then forget it, don't be angry.

There must be violations, but it is no point in investigating these things now. And then again, the Li family cavalrymen actually secretly supported them, otherwise they would not have been so smooth.

Li Shimin couldn't do such a thing as picking up a bowl to eat, putting down his chopsticks and cursing himself.

Of course, it is only limited to the present. If they all violate the law later, Li Shimin would not mind taking back these rights from them. Anyway, although these shares were sold to their families, you should be a legal businessman honestly. Li Shimin would not mind that you will continue to pass on them.

After all, as long as they are merchants, they need to pay taxes to the state. Li Shimin has reformed all tax laws. Judging from the current development, it may not take long before the Tang Dynasty can even exempt all farmers from taxes. The land tax used for farming is expected to continue to decline next year.

However, under such circumstances, the national strength of the Tang Dynasty not only did not decline, but was constantly improving. He had completely understood the concept of hiding wealth among the people and the people who are rich and the country becomes rich.

If the people are exempted from taxes, the people have money in their hands, in fact, the money will eventually be transferred to the country's hands. This is a good thing.

"When are you going back?" Li Shimin asked as he looked at Huo Gang.

"It should be the day after tomorrow. Your Majesty, everything goes well here, so we will leave directly. Haven't the negotiations going well these days?" Huo Gang said with a smile.

Because of Huo Gang, and the two sides had cooperated with railway construction once before, this negotiation was even simpler. However, the difference between this time and the previous time, the cooperation method has changed. First of all, Dahan only provided technical support this time and sold related rails and some machines.

In addition, the other construction parts are under the responsibility of Datang. According to the negotiation results of the two parties, the project progress in the first two years is probably very slow. The reason is that at that time, the technicians of Dahan will probably follow dozens of people around each position, and these people are all from Datang to learn technology.

Although overall, there were too few people in the Tang Dynasty who knew mathematics and physics, it was not without them. The next part of the people was probably going to become a fantasy. Of course, these were all things in the Tang Dynasty. The great Han Dynasty must study their engineering teachings with great care.

This is one. In the second case, the early road site selection, land leveling and other work can be carried out from multiple engineering sections. The technical content in these aspects is not high, including the preparation of raw materials, etc. These can quickly learn to let the Tang Dynasty start working.

The main thing is that the laying of railway tracks and other work is the most troublesome. Of course, there is another problem, that is, the construction of large bridges. The Tang Dynasty definitely had no relevant work experience in this regard. Instead, the Dahan had built a total of four or five super-large bridges across rivers.

The largest of them is naturally the Lanzhou Yellow River Bridge. Apart from this, other bridges are not as big as this, but the project volume is not small. All the experience of building bridges on the Tang Dynasty comes from stone arch bridges like Zhaozhou Bridge. They cannot build bridges with huge spans like this and can withstand the passing of trains.

Therefore, the main construction task of the bridge must be the responsibility of the Construction Department of Dahan.

This is basically the case for the negotiations, but Dahan is responsible for the construction, but Datang is still responsible for the specific material expenses.

"It's indeed very smooth, and the Tang Dynasty's professional title assessment system for scientists has been improved." Li Shimin said, "In terms of professional title, Minister Xia and others on your side, there have been a total of nine levels."

"Yes." Huo Gang nodded expressionlessly, but he actually wanted to laugh. He had already produced the professional titles of later generations during the Tang Dynasty. I don't know what it would be like after it develops to more than a thousand years, although he definitely can't see it.

"The specific treatment is just that the titles of the Tang Dynasty have also been reformed, and they are also at level nine, one level corresponds to one level. I am not afraid of giving them treatment." Li Shimin smiled and said, "From the lowest level to the highest level, according to the county male, county prince, county marquis, county dukes, county dukes, county dukes, county dukes, princes, princes, princes, princes, princes, princes, princes, princes, and princes. I will give them the title of princes!"

Huo Gang looked at Li Shimin with a serious look on his face. To be honest, Huo Gang felt a little emotional. Old Li was really cruel and even the prince was granted. Although the title of prince here is just a reputation, do you think the title of honor is not awesome? Even if it is a prince without a fief, the honor in status will definitely be attracted by many people in the entire Tang Dynasty.

You should know that the current princes in the Tang Dynasty are almost all the sons of Li Shimin, or Li Yuan should have been granted the title of prince, but Li Shimin is now willing to give the highest-level scientist the title of prince...

If you say it, I guess all the people in the Tang Dynasty will go crazy.

"You are doing this...who are from Confucianism?" Huo Gang was still a little surprised.

"What are you unwilling to do? These scientists cannot be officials. I also set up the Tang Academy of Sciences like you, which is divided into many departments. Isn't it just to support scientists? How much money do these top scientists spend to support me? Isn't it a problem to talk to you before, and you said not to give land, but to give houses, money, and support their research."

"As for reputation, it is not a problem. Not to mention the top ones, even if there are scientists of the county level, I am willing to treat them with courtesy. They have the opportunity to write to me at any time."

"And just give them enough rights, I am determined to reorganize the three provinces and six ministries system, according to your great man, and the election and voting system for five years. Then I will give them greater rights, and I am mainly responsible for military power matters." Li Shimin said with a smile.

"Are you sure?" Huo Gang looked at Li Shimin strangely. Although his great man was not a constitutional monarchy, he was actually very close. It should be said that it was a constitutional monarchy with the characteristics of a great man. Cough cough... and here... Huo Gang didn't expect that he would dare to play like this.

"What's the uncertainty about this?" Li Shimin looked at Huo Gang with a smile.
