There was no other way, so Li Tai could only gently remind the chamberlain and ask him to invite some of the princes in first.

After all, if several important ministers ask for an audience, it is impossible not to see them.

Immediately, Li Tai had no choice but to take a step forward and shouted again: "Father..."

Only then did Li Er come back to his senses and asked in confusion: "What's the matter? By the way, is the content of this memorial true?"

"Father, Emperor Long is so powerful that Yang Fan dares to deceive His Majesty!" Li Tai quickly explained, and then secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Now that he has not obtained the position of prince, he does not want Li Er to stay idle.

Even my father, whom I admire emotionally, was so shocked that he never recovered!

However, Li Tai admired Yang Fan even more.

After all, everything Yang Fan does is always so unexpected.

Fortunately, I was able to drink some soup this time.

But Li Tai knew that this was not the time for Li Tai to be proud, so he could only say quickly: "Father, Zhao Guogong, Zheng Guogong, Ying Gong... They asked for an audience outside, and I made my own decision to let them in."

His Majesty Li Er waved his hand and said: "It doesn't matter. Anyway, Duke Zhao and the others have to come over every day to report state affairs to me, so just let them in. By the way, don't leave yet, just wait aside!"

After saying this, Li Er opened the memorial in his hand and read it carefully again, as if there was something profound in the memorial that he still couldn't understand.

Hearing Li Er's words, Li Tai was overjoyed.

Even as a prince, Li Tai has never participated in such a high-level meeting.

When these prime ministers made reports, the princes never participated, and even the princes did not receive such treatment.

At this time, Li Tai couldn't help but thank Yang Fan, this guy is simply a lucky star.

If Yang Fan hadn't asked him to come to Chang'an to report, Li Tai wouldn't have been treated like this.

While thinking, several important officials in the court walked in under the leadership of the chamberlain.

Changsun Wuji, Li Ji, Wei Zheng... they walked into the hall together and bowed.

Seeing Li Tai sitting aside, several people couldn't help but be a little surprised.

They didn't receive any news about Li Tai's return to Beijing!

More importantly, His Majesty Li Er did not ask Li Tai to avoid him, which is incredible.

You know, Li Er doesn't like these princes to have contact with them, the ministers of the court.

Especially Changsun Wuji, at this moment he couldn't help but secretly guess whether the emperor had already planned to establish another prince.

Wei Zheng, on the other hand, frowned and asked the prince to participate in the political discussion in advance, which was against the imperial system. Just when he was about to remind him, he heard His Majesty Li Er say: "Several of your beloved ministers are here. Please take your seats. Let's take a rest today.

Don’t discuss court affairs…”

After saying that, he glanced at Li Tai with a complicated look and said, "Qingque brought several memorials from Jiangnan. Some of the contents are a bit unclear. Please help me to compile them together!"

Changsun Wuji and others looked at each other with a feeling of confusion.

Apart from major events like the Jiangnan Rebellion, is there anything else that the big guys can do together?

For the first time, several people thought of Yang Fan. Could it be that that guy caused trouble in Jiangnan again?

Although a few people were curious, they were inconvenient to ask questions.

In their opinion, since His Majesty Li Er proposed it himself, he would not hide it from them and would just wait.

At this time, His Majesty Li Er's face was also very strange, a little confused and a little confused.

Of course, most of them are still a little unbelievable.

After a long while, Li Er asked a nonsensical question: "You are all important ministers in the court. You should know how much the national treasury's annual taxes are in recent years, right?"

Changsun Wuji and others couldn't help but be slightly startled. Why did they suddenly ask this? Isn't it discussing the issue of Jiangnan?

More importantly, you, the emperor, should know best how much taxes there are in the country.

Of course, Changsun Wuji and others did not dare to question His Majesty Li Er.

Finally, it was Wei Zheng who replied respectfully: "Reporting to your Majesty, in the early years of Zhenguan, the tax was about 20 million yuan. Since the early years of Zhenguan, your Majesty implemented self-cultivation and rest, the number of households in the Tang Dynasty increased.

, until last year, the annual tax amount was about 30 million yuan."

"Thirty million guans, is that so little?"

His Majesty Li Er murmured, his expression getting weirder. He looked at the memorial in his hand, handed it to Wei Zheng and said, "Wei Aiqing, please take a look. This is the memorial brought by Qingque from Jiangnan, and the content was submitted by Yang Fan."

Li Ji's heart skipped a beat.

I thought to myself, could it be that Yang Fan is really up to something?

You must know that his friend’s orphaned and widowed mother is still in Jiangnan!

Therefore, Li Ji couldn't help but look at Wei Zheng.

If he hadn't been afraid of the emperor's blame, he would have wanted to see what the memorial was about immediately.

Wei Zheng stepped forward and took the memorial from His Majesty Li Er, and quickly read it.

After reading the memorial, Wei Zheng seemed to be frozen, his mouth opened so wide that he could almost fit a fist in!

Changsun Wuji became more and more curious when he saw Wei Zheng's expression!

What did Yang Fan write in this memorial that actually shocked Wei Zheng, who was unfazed by honor and disgrace?

Fang Xuanling and Li Ji were also curious.

What on earth could have surprised a prime minister like Wei Zheng, who was accustomed to troubles?

There was a bit of silence in the hall, and everyone was silent, wanting to see what Wei Zheng had to say.

After a while, His Majesty Li Er stared at Wei Zheng and reminded: "Wei Aiqing, do you think the contents of this memorial are true?"

Wei Zheng came back to his senses and said in disbelief: "More than 40 million yuan? This... this... is impossible? This is equivalent to the taxes for the two years of Zhenguan!"

In fact, Yang Fan established the Royal Bank of the Tang Dynasty in Jiangnan and invited aristocratic families and wealthy people from all over the country to Jiangnan. Wei Zheng also heard about it.

After all, whether it is the establishment of the Royal Bank of Tang Dynasty or the application for salt farm quota approval, official documents from the province are required.

But Wei Zheng really didn't expect that the shares of Datang Royal Bank and the salt farm index would be sold for more than 20 million yuan.

Of course, Wei Zheng also knew that the reason why the salt field index was auctioned at such a high price was actually because of Yang Fan's method of drying salt.

But no matter what, this is real money, who dares to believe it.

What surprised Wei Zheng even more was that Yang Fan's various techniques were actually sold for more than 20 million yuan. It really felt like a fantasy.

If this is true, then the richest man in the Tang Dynasty is none other than Yang Fan!

You should know that except for the money from the auction of Datang Royal Bank shares, Yang Fan does not own it exclusively.

The other more than 30 million yuan are essentially Yang Fan's private property.

It can be said to be a truly wealthy country!

Until this moment, Wei Zheng still felt a little unreal.

It is even suspected that Yang Fan exaggerated in the memorial.

More than 40 million yuan?

What kind of technology and shares can be sold for so much money?

In his opinion, Yang Fan must be teasing the emperor?

However, although Yang Fan, a bastard, is usually very bold, he doesn't dare to joke with the emperor, right?

If you deceive the emperor, this is the crime of deceiving the emperor.
