Datang: At The Beginning, Li Er Forced Me To Rebel

The world was initially settled, Li Er usurped the throne, and the treasury was extremely empty.

At that time, Zhang Yan had just pacified the Sifang and returned to the court, so he took off his military uniform and faced this mess.

It took a lot of hard work to help Li Er set up this messy economy.

Let the deficit treasury have a lot of wealth.

Now Li Er is forcing Zhang Yan to turn against him!

It's not a big problem to feed the dog with enthusiasm, but if the treasury is left to Li Er again.

Zhang Yan himself would not be happy.

"The treasury is supported by the adults! It is only natural for the adults to take it away!"

Zhang Shiba smiled, and then said with some regret.

"It's a pity, it's just emptying the treasury! It didn't make Li Er stretched, or else..."

"The national treasury is empty, and Li Er is a rootless duckweed! Once something bad happens to Datang, maybe something terrible will happen again."

A sneer flashed across Zhang Yan's eyes.

Said lightly.

"Besides, there is a catastrophe coming to Tang Dynasty right now! When the time comes, Li Er will cry!"

"A catastrophe?!"

Hearing this, Lao Jiang and Zhang Shiba were slightly taken aback.

Then he remembered the time when Zhang Yan left Chang'an.

For Li Tang Jiangshan, it was a prophecy like a curse!

"My lord, is it possible that what you are talking about is a plague of locusts? Isn't this... just a moment of anger?"

Zhang Shiba asked cautiously!

Although they all know clearly that their lord is a fairy-like figure.

As long as it is what he said, there is nothing forbidden!

But this is a prophet who predicts things like natural disasters.

After all, it's a bit too mysterious.

They couldn't help but doubt it.

"What? You don't believe it?"

Zhang Yan glanced at Zhang Shiba, and asked with some playfulness.

"Do you want to make a bet with me?"

"No gambling!"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Shiba didn't even think about it.

Just shake your head like a rattle!

Just kidding, bet with your own adults?

I have been with my lord for so many years, and I have never seen anyone who can win a bet with my lord!

Looking at the look of his lord who is sure of winning.

Lao Jiang and Zhang Shiba suddenly had unbelievable thoughts in their hearts.

Could it be... there is really a pest plague?

...

Zhang Yan and his two men bet on the locust plague on the Grand Canal.

Of course, Li Er knew nothing about it.

At this moment, he is standing in the Tai Chi Hall.

In front of you, all the ministers are holding a ledger!

Tremblingly reported to Li Er.

The more he listened, the more ugly Li Er's face became.

"The No. 31 branch of Dayan Bank is located in Laizhou, Qingzhou Prefecture. It stores a total of 190,000 gold, silver and copper coins!..."

"Dayan Bank No. 42 Branch, address in Yinping, Wenzhou Prefecture, has a total of gold, silver and copper coins stored, totaling 137,000 guan!..."

...

This is the account book of Zhang Yan's own bank, every income and expenditure.

I remember everything clearly! Not one iota of falsification.

Even to let Li Er and the others see more intuitively how much money the bank should have originally.

Zhang Yan even made careful statistics on the last page of each ledger very "intimately".

You can see clearly with just one glance.

Very intuitive!

"Dayan Company No. 4, address Jiangnan Road, Hangzhou Mansion, has a total of 590,000 gold, silver and copper coins in storage!..."

brush!

Suddenly, the original bill of one hundred thousand, two hundred thousand...

Suddenly, it jumped to three to four hundred thousand.

No matter who it is, no one will be able to accept it!

"Why! Why is the bank gap in Hangzhou City more than doubled compared to other banks?"

Li Er could no longer be angry patiently, and asked through gritted teeth.

"Your Majesty Qizuo, this Jiangnan is a place of prosperity, and this Hangzhou is the most important! In comparison, it is not uncommon to have so much money in savings..."

Fang Xuanling answered cautiously, but only Li Er gave him an angry stare in exchange.

"Stop reading!"

Li Er said angrily.

"Tell me directly, how much money do these account books add up to?!"

Hearing this, the official who was still paying the bill trembled slightly.

Hastily used the fastest speed to count and estimate.

Speaking of which, the deposits of the Hangzhou government bank are not the most!

In the city of Chang'an, which is the world's most wealthy, each of the four major banks has more customers than Hangzhou Fu Bank!

"Qizou Your Majesty, the total is more than 5.94 million guan..."

hiss!

Hearing this, everyone present gasped in unison.

More than five million... no, it should be nearly six million...

What concept is this?

You know, just last year, the annual tax revenue of the entire Tang Dynasty was only 30 million yuan.

After excluding all kinds of expenses, there is only a balance of less than 4.6 million yuan.

This is the only high level of taxation ever since the founding of the Tang Dynasty!

Now, Zhang Yan is suffocating to death, using the bank to dig this big hole for Datang.

It's almost catching up with the tax revenue of Datang's current heyday for two years.

How to play this? It's a bit harsh to start.

"This... such a big hole, Zhang Yan! You have such a vicious heart!"
