Jing Wen came out to answer, but the first sentence was to make everyone not understand. Everyone did not understand what ** and IQ are, but everyone understood that this sentence was not a good thing. How did Jing Wen answer next? This is related to the face of the Tang Dynasty. Extorting a vassal state is a very shameful face because it is related to the honor of the Tang Dynasty. Although Jing Wen doesn't care much about this honor, some people care! Many Chinese officials suffer for face, and this problem will be very serious even in later generations. Therefore, things related to the face of the country are all major events, and no one dares to underestimate it.

"Since you all are very concerned about this matter, I will introduce the content of this treaty to you." Jing Wen said.

"First, Tuyuhun often invaded the border of my Tang Dynasty, causing great losses to the people on my Tang Dynasty. Of course, I have to compensate me, right? I have never heard of killing someone else's people and stealing things without compensation. If there is no compensation, is there any justice in this world?"

Those civil servants cannot refute this, because you will naturally have to compensate if you invade. Usually, those civil servants subconsciously say that they are the country of the Celestial Empire and can not compensate if they do not want those countries to compensate. But this mute loss is still the people who bear it themselves? However, what Jing Wen said involves justice and justice, and they cannot refute it! If they explicitly say that they kill people and rob things without compensation, then isn’t this just to encourage themselves to commit crimes with a hundred letters? If this is the case, the consequences cannot be accepted by them.

"I have to compensate, otherwise what else would happen!" Wei Zheng also spoke first.

"It is to compensate. If it is not compensated, then what's the use of justice?" Fang Xuanling also said.

When Da Yanmang Jiebo saw this situation, he was very anxious. Jing Wen actually mentioned the righteousness of justice, and they could not say anything. Who made Tuyuhun often plunder the people of the Tang Dynasty? So now he deserves to be extorted by this reason.

"However, the compensation must be reasonable. Our Tang Dynasty will not blackmail you if you suck bones and marrow!" Kong Yingda said.

Kong Yingda is still a gentleman. He would not blackmail the vassal state. Therefore, he took the initiative to say that compensation was OK, but he could not extort too much. When Da Yanmang Jiebo saw this situation, he knew that it would not work without spitting out anything, but he hoped to be able to do so.

"Okay, let's calculate the calculation. How many times have they plundered our Central Plains over the past decades? How many losses have they caused? Is there always one million yuan?" Jing Wen said.

When hearing this one million guan, many people's eyes lit up. Because one million guan, the annual income of the Tang Dynasty is about one tenth of the annual income. If there is this one million guan, it will be of great help to the Tang Dynasty's finances, which are now on the verge of the cordon line. Especially when the officials of the Ministry of Revenue, they smiled even more when they heard this, because with this money, they will have a very good life. The officials of the Ministry of Revenue, that is, the financial management, the richer the country is, the higher their status and the greater their power! If the country has no money, the Ministry of Revenue is just an empty tube.

"That's from the former Sui Dynasty!" Da Yanmang said.

However, as soon as Da Yanmang Jiebo finished speaking, an official from the Ministry of Revenue immediately came out to refute. He said: "This is a bad statement. My Tang inherited the legal system of the former Sui Dynasty, which is naturally orthodox. All the honors and disgraces of the former Sui Dynasty must be followed. Therefore, your invasion of the former Sui people is no different from invading the former Tang people. You must compensate. And this compensation will be collected by my Tang Dynasty!"

The butt determines the head. In order for the Ministry of Revenue to have more money, this official of the Ministry of Revenue naturally had to help Jing Wen speak. Moreover, in ancient times, the orthodox was also emphasized. The Tang Dynasty claimed to have inherited the orthodox of the Sui Dynasty. Is there any problem to get the account back for the Sui Dynasty? Of course, what helps the Sui Dynasty get the account back is just an excuse. The real reason is that he wants this money, so that the finances of the Ministry of Revenue can be much relaxed. Therefore, the officials of the Ministry of Revenue were Jing Wen's natural ally at this moment.

"Yes, yes, my Tang Dynasty inherited the legal system of the former Sui Dynasty, so naturally I have to help the former Sui Dynasty recover debts!" ​​Another official from the Ministry of Works immediately said.

Although the money comes to the Ministry of Revenue first, in fact, the people who spend money are still other departments. If the Ministry of Revenue has a wealth of finance, will it be much easier for them to spend money soon? Who would dislike the large budget of their own department? Many people would rather have a high budget of their own department so that they can benefit themselves and their subordinates! Moreover, if you have money, isn’t it just that you can make more political achievements? If you can make political achievements, isn’t it just that you can get promoted and make money? Therefore, other departments are also indirect allies of Jing Wen. This is all because of money. After all, a penny cannot kill heroes, let alone these officials of the Ministry of Industry who need to rely on money to achieve political achievements? If you don’t have the money to build various engineering facilities, how can they achieve political achievements?

After hearing this, Da Yanmang Jiebo suddenly saw stars in front of him, obviously not understanding this situation. Don’t the Central Plains officials all dislike exploiting vassal states? Why are they actually supporting Jing Wen now? Are all the Central Plains officials so shameless?

Next, Jing Wen did not let Tuyuhun go, and then said: "Also, in order to resist the invasion of Tuyuhun, our Tang Dynasty and the former Sui Dynasty had to prepare a large number of troops to defend the border. And the military pay, military expenses, weapons and equipment spent by these troops for this cost money! So, two million guan is not an exaggeration?"

After hearing the next increase, it turned out to be two million guan. Adding the previous one million guan, that would be three million guan. This is already one-third of the annual fiscal revenue of the Tang Dynasty. It is a huge sum of money, and it is all a fortune!

Although the Tang Dynasty had nearly 10 million yuan in fiscal revenue every year, according to the consistent plan, the only thing that could be determined by the officials themselves was that these fiscal revenues were only one or two million yuan, or even less. Other money had long been invested in some conventional spending. In fact, according to historical experience, in the fiscal budget, only the reserves for fiscal mobility could be spent independently by officials. Other money had long been occupied by the army and various expenses, and it was not for those officials to move as soon as they wanted.
