Li Shimin now has a crush on Jing Wen's money and wants to borrow money. In ancient times, the court rarely asked ordinary people to borrow money. In ancient times, it was not popular for governments to borrow money from the people, so although Li Shimin was eyeing Jing Wen's money, he was embarrassed. Moreover, Jing Wen was still Li Shimin's eunuch, just like a boss asking his employees to borrow money. How could he be embarrassed about this matter?

But I’m sorry to borrow it, because the treasury is so empty that it can run away from mice, which is something that the people of the whole country know. If you don’t find a way to get money, it’s probably very difficult for the country to maintain it. So Li Shimin had to borrow money from Jing Wen.

"Your Majesty, how much do you want to borrow?" Jing Wen asked.

Since Li Shimin has reached this level, Jing Wen certainly has to borrow it! If he doesn’t borrow money, he will not give the emperor Li Shimin the face!

Li Shimin stretched out a finger and Jing Wen said, "Ten thousand guan? This is OK!"

But Li Shimin shook his head and Jing Wen asked again: "100,000 coins?"

Li Shimin still shook his head and said, "One million guan."

"What?"

This time it was Jing Wen's turn to be surprised. Li Shimin's appetite was too big! One million guan, this number was too big. It almost occupied all Jing Wen's working capital. This money was several hundred million yuan in later generations, but it was a huge sum of money.

When Li Shimin saw Jing Wen's disgust, he immediately said, "Jing Wen, everything you have now is given to you. Since it is given to you by me, I can take it back at any time. So you should still understand the truth in life, but don't do anything confusing?"

Li Shimin was a threat from Hongguoguo, and Jing Wen agreed to borrow money. One million guan, which was indeed very huge. The collection of the imperial kitchen for many years was only ten thousand guan. Li Shimin had already guessed that Jing Wen was most unwilling to borrow money, so he could only use his power to threaten it.

When Jing Wen heard Li Shimin say this, he already knew that there was no room for negotiation on this matter. Li Shimin is crazy about money now. Since Jing Wen is rich and Jing Wen is also a close minister of Li Shimin, he is naturally targeted by Li Shimin. No wonder Li Shimin wanted Shi En and Jing Wen just now, so it turned out that they all wanted money! Moreover, one million chunk of money is definitely not a small number, so when Li Shimin was lenient with people, he inevitably wanted Shi En and Jing Wen.

"Your Majesty, when will you pay back this money?" Jing Wen asked.

Li Shimin thought for a while and said, "It's okay to divide it into fifty years."

Jing Wen almost wanted to slap the table on the spot, but Li Shimin had no sincerity to repay the loan. What did Li Shimin say that it would be divided into fifty years of repayment, but this was not sincere at all! Although one million yuan is a big number for the current one, it is not easy to use it to repay the loan in fifty years! If you really want to repay the loan, you can pay it back in less than ten years. But it would have to be divided into fifty years, which clearly shows that there is no sincerity to repay the loan.

But now people are the slaughter and I am the fish, so Jing Wen has to give it! Now Jing Wen can do well now, because of Li Shimin's attention and favor. If he leaves Li Shimin, he will probably have nothing at all. Those powerful people will definitely focus on themselves. However, this is all because of the lack of foundation. Jing Wen is just a chef, so what is the foundation at the moment?

"Emperor, I have an idea. As long as the emperor agrees, I can give the emperor a million guan, and there is no need to pay it back." Jing Wen said immediately.

"Oh? What's the solution?" Li Shimin asked.

When he heard Jing Wen say that he could give him a million guan and he didn't have to pay it back, Li Shimin was happy. Everyone likes money, especially the emperor. The emperor who has the ability prefers money. Without money, no emperor can show any ideals and ambitions of the emperor. Therefore, no emperor who wants to make a difference will underestimate the role of money. However, money is limited, and it is impossible to just print a few pieces of white paper and turn it into money. Now some people are willing to provide one million guan and don't have to repay the money, so Li Shimin must pay attention to it.

"Your Majesty, as long as you can let us host a royal banquet for ten years every day, I can give this million yuan to the emperor for free." Jing Wen said.

"You have to host a palace banquet, this is a matter of Guanglu Temple." Li Shimin said.

The so-called Guanglu Temple was originally responsible for the emperor's guard work. However, it later evolved into an institution responsible for royal meals, responsible for various sacrifices and meal preparations during banquets. Jing Wen now has to host the royal banquet, which is robbing the job of Guanglu Temple. If the royal banquet was handed over to Jing Wen's daily food, then Guanglu Temple would probably be destroyed in name only. Although Guanglu Temple is not important, it is also an official government office of the court, so it would not be good to just put them in a blank space!

"Your Majesty, we just have to host a royal banquet for ten years, and we can give you discounts. You can also pay dividends for this food every day. So, you just need to sit back and wait for the dividends. And we can give it to you one million guan, so that we can all get benefits!" Jing Wen said.

Li Shimin thought about it carefully and said, "I understand what you mean. What you mean is that you want to rely on this opportunity to host a royal banquet to expand your influence in your daily diet. This will allow you to earn more every day's diet, but at the cost is that you are willing to pay a million chunk of money as a deal for me? Use my royal banquet to promote you?"

"The emperor is wise!" Jing Wen said.

Li Shimin seriously thought about the pros and cons of this incident, because Jing Wen is going to undermine Guanglu Temple! If Jing Wen is asked to undertake it, it would be equivalent to indirectly removing Guanglu Temple from the third-rank department. Will this cause their rebound? This is also a big question. The Guanglu Temple department is actually very important, which is not the same in Li Shimin's eyes. Because the emperor's imperial meals are actually managed by multiple people now, there is the Shang Food Bureau of the Palace in the Palace, which is the Shang Food Bureau where Jing Wen is located, and there is a Guanglu Temple in charge, which is a bit wasteful.

"Okay, I promise you that I can handle it for you for ten years. However, within these ten years, you must keep the people from Guanglu Temple and not let them have any opinions." Li Shimin said.

"Okay, Your Majesty, as long as you ask me to host a royal banquet for ten years, I can get a million guan immediately." Jing Wen said.
