Fang Ying looked at Li Shimin.

Li Shimin was also looking at him.

The two stared at each other, and the two foxes, one old and one small, were frantically testing, trying to see something in each other's eyes.

"You...what do you mean..."

Fang Ying's face fell, and he quickly blocked it with words: "If you are short of money, there is nothing I can do, I don't have any money."

With that said, apply another layer of defense.

"You also know that Wei Chen's salary is meager. Although he has the title of consort, Princess Gaoyang, she doesn't give me a penny!"

As soon as these words came out.

Everyone looked weird.

In principle, a prince-in-law is a royal son-in-law, and he has to ask his wife for money. But the relationship between Princess Gaoyang and Fang Ying... Haha, who in Chang'an doesn't know that?

Talk and talk.

Talking about your daughter.

Embarrassed or not? Surprised or not?

Seeing Fang Ying's sad face, the generals wanted to laugh loudly, but due to Li Shimin's power, they could only hold back until his face turned red and he gasped for breath.

"Alas~"

Li Shimin sighed: "I know that Gao Yang has been spoiled by me, his temper is a bit domineering, and he has been wronged."

"Your Majesty, I will not feel wronged..."

Fang Ying choked with sobs and squeezed his eyes, trying to appear more real.

Unfortunately, his acting skills are comparable to Beibi, and he needs eye drops when he cries...

So he simply covered his face with his hands and used the method of covering his face to cover up his shortcomings.

"Actually, I'm talking about something else."

Li Shimin said leisurely: "Ying'er, you also know that I want to set up a firearms supervision department, but building a government office requires money."

Fang Ying showed his face.

I really want to ask, what does this have to do with me?

Li Shimin seemed to hear his voice and continued: "This has nothing to do with you, but Li Tian and the craftsmen's wages will be delayed..."

Damn it!

Brother, why are you like this?

Fang Ying asked hurriedly: "Won't the Ministry of Civil Affairs allocate funds to build the government office?"

The Ministry of Civil Affairs is the Ministry of Household Affairs.

"Liu Dian of the Tang Dynasty" records: "In the early Sui Dynasty, Rizhi Shangshu was changed to the Ministry of Civil Affairs in the third year of Emperor Kaihuang's reign, and the dynasty followed suit."

The system of the Tang Dynasty was copied from the Sui Dynasty.

The name Minbu was also inherited.

After Li Shimin passed away in the 23rd year of Zhenguan, Emperor Gaozong changed the Ministry of Civil Affairs to the Ministry of Husbandry to avoid Li Shimin's name.

Later.

There are a series of changes.

"In the first year of Mingqing, it was changed to Duzhi, in the second year of Longshuo, it was changed to Siyuan Taichang Bo, and in the first year of Xianheng, it was renamed Hubu..."

Anyway, in Fang Ying's eyes.

Regardless of whether it is the Ministry of Civil Affairs or the Ministry of Household Affairs, they are all in charge of money and public affairs. As for the search?

"Our family knows a little bit about this."

Zhang Anan interjected from the side: "The Ministry of Civil Affairs has a budget for money, and the revenue and expenditure for the following year have been planned for the previous year..."

"Firearms surveillance is not in the budget."

"If you use emergency funds, you won't have that much money in your account. Even if you allocate some money, I'm afraid it will be a drop in the bucket."

Fang Ying was immediately stunned.

Only then did he realize that the financial system of the Tang Dynasty was so perfect that the money could not be spent just as easily.

"Is that so?"

He looked around questioningly.

The eyes of the soldiers and gangsters of the Tang Dynasty were equally blank.

"Look what I'm doing?" Cheng Yaojin shouted: "I, old Cheng, have never been a civil servant, so how can I know the truth behind this? Anyway, I have never been short of money for wars."

"That's because someone has figured it out for you."

Li Jing, who had been silent all the time, said calmly: "Do you think that the Minister of War is just a job? All the war needs are planned a year or even several years in advance."

"Your Majesty the Holy Ming..."

Fang Ying shouted a slogan first, and then said angrily: "Isn't it the royal land before the general rule? This money that cannot be spent in the world naturally belongs to your majesty, including the Ministry of Civil Affairs!"

As he spoke, he looked at Li Shimin:

"Your Majesty, you are the king of the Tang Dynasty. Why should the Ministry of Civil Affairs not let you use your own money? Let them allocate funds today!"

Li Shimin chuckled.

His eyes flashed with a dangerous light: "Consort, do you want me to be a foolish king?"

"I……"

Fang Ying lost all his arrogance. He lowered his head and said, "Then it's useless for you to stare at me. I can't conjure up money."

"No, no, you can."

Li Shimin said with a smile: "I remember at the birthday banquet, you took out eighty-one glass cups at once to show your love."

Everyone present was stunned.

He immediately reacted and looked at Fang Ying in surprise: "Can you still make colored glaze?!"

Fang Ying's face suddenly turned ashen.

Seeing his appearance, everyone present became excited and looked at Fang Ying like a pervert eyeing a beautiful woman.

Fang Ying was shocked.

What do you want to do? I am neither Changsun Chong nor Li Chengqian, why are you looking at me like that!

"Damn it! You are such a brat!"

Cheng Yaojin said in a loud voice: "At that time, I wondered where you got so many glass cups. It turned out that you made them!"

Li Ji's eyes turned red: "Erlang, make me a horse pole, made of colored glaze!"

Duan Zhixuan immediately jumped out: "I want it too!"

"And me!"

"I'll have one too!"

…

Only Li Jing was the most satisfied. He narrowed his eyes and said, "Erlang, I don't want a horse. A glazed sword is enough."

Damn... thank you!

Fang Ying turned his head away, ignored them, and said with a grimace:

"Sage, the quantity of glass products must be controlled. If large quantities are leaked out, the price will plummet, and none of us will be able to make any money by then."

Li Shimin frowned.

As an all-powerful emperor, he is also a good handler in finance, so he naturally knows the powerful relationship.

"Oh~ there's nothing we can do about it."

His Majesty Li Er sighed and said: "It just so happens that there is still a vacancy for an assassin in Lingnan. Ying'er is young and promising. Let's pack up tomorrow and go to take up the post."

threaten!

The threat of Hongguoguo!

Fang Ying was shocked and shouted loudly: "Your Majesty, I suddenly have a bold idea!"

"oh?"

Li Shimin said playfully: "Ying'er is really smart and quick, why don't you come and listen."

Fang Ying chuckled and asked instead: "Sage, among the nine sects of the Tang Dynasty, which one is the richest now?"

Li Shimin was stunned for a moment.
