Vol 2 Chapter 1827:

"... The total number of participants in the fund-raising conference was 719 people, and the accumulated military funds raised were 428,000, 500 guan, which far exceeded the military expenses of the 150,000 army in March. These businessmen who participated in the fund-raising conference, It can be regarded as a solution to the imperatives of the imperial court, so that the imperial court can concentrate on preparing for the Turkic war. I want to make an order to commend these 719 people. What objection does the Aiqing have?"
　　 Yesterday’s fundraising meeting was not only a topic of discussion among the people in the city today, but also in the Tai Chi Palace, the fundraising meeting became the main topic of today’s early dynasty. After Xiao Yu, the Shangshu of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, reported on the grand occasion of yesterday's fundraising meeting, Li Er, who was sitting high in the head, slowly said.
The hundreds of officials in the hall heard the words with mixed expressions, and finally everyone turned their eyes to Changsun Wuji, who was in the first row of civil servants. He felt that hundreds of pairs of eyes behind him were looking at him with scorching eyes. Changsun Wuji was very helpless and had to stand up. He said: "I don't know how your Majesty intends to reward? Yesterday's fund-raising meeting, the businessmen certainly solved the imperative of the imperial court, but my Tang Dynasty established the country by military force and ruled the country by culture. I hope that your Majesty will put the overall situation first and don't forget the country! "
Although Changsun Wuji also played a role in the fundraising meeting yesterday, he did not want Li Er to praise the group of businessmen yesterday, because for the Changsun family, doing business is just a dispensable "Secondary business" is nothing, politics is the foundation of the grandson's life!
From Li Yuan’s launch in Taiyuan to the establishment of Datang, from Datang’s sweep of Yunei to Li Er’s ascension to the throne, Changsun Wuji made great contributions in it. It can be said that he is a vested interest in the order of today, and he naturally does not want merchant groups. Just because you donated some money, you can get the credit that he could only exchange for his hard work!
　　 It is not only Changsun Wuji who thinks this way alone, but most of the civil and military officials standing in the hall think so at this time.
　　 Li Er, uncharacteristically today, said that he would reward the more than 700 businessmen who donated yesterday. Is this okay? This makes them feel so hard to obtain official status for most of their lives? So they all set their sights on Changsun Wuji. Everyone expects him, the chief civil servant, to be able to speak "fairly" for the officials of Datang!
　　 "What Zhao Guogong said is extremely true, please also your Majesty to put the overall situation first!"
　　 "The minister agrees!"
　　Chen seconded
　　 When a group of vested interests in the court joined together, even Li Er, the Emperor of Tang Dynasty, had to avoid three points! Li Er frowned slightly. Honestly, he! I don't like to see the phenomenon of a group of officials in North Korea and China, but now, Li Er does not have a better solution, and he also understands that this is a stage that the regime must go through after it has developed to a certain level.
"I intend to give a collective commendation to the 712 businessmen who participated in the fundraising meeting yesterday. As for how to commend, in addition to the commendation, I will also order the "Datang Daily" to write a special praise article. Yushi! In addition, I also decided that the merchants who donated money yesterday can receive the same amount of tax exemption this year, which means that as much as they donated yesterday, how much money will be used to deduct this year’s business tax in the future! Zhao Guogong, What do you think of it?"
　　 At the end, Li Er turned his gaze to Changsun Wuji, his tone cold and expressionless.
