Chapter 160
Emperor Tang sneered: "Prime Minister, what you said is light? How to borrow? Did you see it? The civil and military officials in the court had no intention of lending money to me!"
"Your Majesty, the old minister thinks of someone, maybe he can borrow money!" Meng Shize's old face suddenly filled with a smile.
Emperor Tang was intrigued when he heard this: "Who?"
"Crown Prince Tang Yu!" Meng Shize said loudly.
"Prime Minister, are you crazy? How can I have that much money?"
When Tang Yu heard that Meng Shize was going to cheat him again, he almost jumped up in anger.
After careful calculation, he earned 1.6 million taels of silver on the day of opening the mahjong hall. He earned 360,000 taels of silver before the Deer and the Cauldron. He gave Han Teng 30,000. Now he can barely have 2 million silver.
Looking at Meng Shize's scheming and concise look, Tang Yu couldn't help but guess, could Meng Shize know about selling the Deer and the Cauldron and opening a mahjong hall?
It's impossible. The confidentiality work has been done well, and it is impossible for the old fox Meng Shize to know easily.
"Don't worry, your Highness!"
Meng Shize smiled leisurely: "Your Highness, don't forget that the Crown Princess is from the Ning family in Beijing, and the Ning family is the richest man in the capital. You should borrow two million yuan from the Ning family, right?"
"Go to the Ning family to borrow money?" Tang Yu was stunned.
In his impression, since he got married to Ning Wan'er, he hasn't even been to the Ning family once.
In addition, he had only known that he had no skills in spending money before, so the Ning family must have had a bad impression of him. If the Ning family was willing to lend him money, it would be a bad thing.
"Your Majesty, the Prime Minister has come up with a good idea!"
"Yes, yes, the Ning family has money. If you ask the prince to borrow money from the Ning family, there will definitely be no problem!"
Everyone was in danger in the court. When they heard Meng Shize ask Tang Yu to borrow money from Ning’s house, they all agreed.
"I can't borrow it, I have no money!" Tang Yu refused directly.
Two million taels of silver are a lot. The battle between the Tang Dynasty and the Great Chu will inevitably be extremely tragic. Even if it wins, the treasury will face deficits. At that time, the court will not pay back the money. So wouldn’t the two million have to be filled by themselves? Tang Yu did not do this loss-making business.
Meng Shize smiled and said, "Your Highness, don't refuse first. You think, as long as you can borrow this money, you can raise it directly to Your Majesty if you have any requests. And Your Highness, you are in charge of the war. Do you want to go to the front line at that time?"
"Huh?" Tang Yu seemed to have thought of something when reminded by Meng Shize.
In order to fight against the Great Chu, Emperor Tang agreed and said, "Yu'er, the Prime Minister is right. As long as you can get two million taels of silver, I will satisfy you any request!"
"Father, I want the golden fire cavalry in the suburbs!" Tang Yu said bluntly.
He could see why Meng Shize asked him to come forward to borrow money from the Ning family. It turned out that Meng Shize wanted to take this opportunity to weaken the power of the eldest prince Tang Long's military power.
"What? You need the Golden Fire Cavalry in the Suburbs? Impossible! This is absolutely impossible!"
When he heard that Tang Yu actually wanted the Golden Fire Cavalry, Tang Long, as the eldest prince, jumped out immediately.
He has been in charge of the army for many years, and Tang Long knew very well that although there were only 30,000 Golden Fire Cavalry, this was the most powerful iron cavalry in the Tang Dynasty.
At present, the Tang army has a total of 400,000 people, of which only 50,000 cavalry. As we all know, cavalry plays a huge role in the battlefield, and every cavalry is a treasure. Tang Yu wants to get 30,000 people in one breath. Isn’t this killing Tang Long half of his life?
"Brother, why is it impossible?"
