Marry Changle in Datang

Chapter 869: Guard!Site!

When Li Zhi returned to the East Palace, he summoned Chu Suiliang, his confidant, and secretly ordered him to teach the Wu family brothers a lesson, and warned all the money houses in Chang'an City not to lend money to the Wu family brothers. Otherwise, all losses would be borne by the money houses. Don't blame the officials for being ruthless.

Chu Suiliang was ordered by the crown prince to have a number of highly skilled subordinates scare the brothers of the Wu family, and said that if they disrespected the old lady of the Wu family, they would make his brothers disappear. The two brothers knew that it was the sister who learned that they bullied the old lady. Warning, only by admitting your mistakes and promising to respect the old lady can you be relieved.

All the money houses in Chang'an City received warnings not to lend money to the brothers of the Wu family overtly or secretly. Most of these money houses were opened by the eldest grandson, the Wei family and the Wang family. His method, apart from ordering Qian Zhuang to do so, was to secretly force Qian to firmly control the Wu family brothers.

……

In the past month of planning, the Department of Banking and Money of the Ministry of Household Affairs has finally been fully staffed. The new top scholar Yang Jixing was promoted to the imperial court's third-rank doctor, but there is a gap between Li Shimin's oral order and Zhongzheng's third-rank upper official title. However, this is because of Yang Jixing's seniority. Too shallow to have to.

Li Shimin allowed Yang Jixing to take the official position of the third rank temporarily, and it would not be too late to promote him after seeing the effect.

Yang Jixing took office as the Department of Finance and Money of the Ministry of Households. According to the plan proposed by Xu Tian, ​​he worked with Tang Jian, the Minister of the Ministry of Households, to formulate the issue of the first phase of the national debt of the Tang Dynasty.

此国债为三年期，发行总金额为500万银两，债券面额分别为100两、300两、500两与1000两、3000两、5000两和1万两、3万两、5万两，到期利息为百分之六并为购买国债的人士赠送朝廷颁发的“爱国之家”门牌。

The government-owned banks in Chang'an City, which are pilot projects for bond issuance, attracted gentry and merchants to buy them in large quantities on the day they were launched, but the low-amount bonds were sold out by the common people. In less than two days, all 500 million bonds were sold. At the end of the day, people who still hadn't bought bonds crowded in front of the Yinzhuang, asking when the government bonds would be issued again.

Li Shimin, Li Zhi and the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty did not expect that this matter would be recognized by the people.

Such recognition allowed the imperial court to know the patriotism of the subjects and reflected the living standards of the people in the Tang Dynasty. Of course, this is only based on the economic situation of the imperial city and cannot represent other economically underdeveloped regions. Many courtiers have a more open mind on economic development.

At that time, due to health reasons, Li Shimin almost handed over the important affairs of the court to the prince. Except that he had not yet sat in the prince's place, the emperor's old son was acting as a shopkeeper.

In the Taiji Hall, Li Zhiduan sat on the dragon couch with a smile on his face, and ordered many officials in the East Palace to continue to open government schools in the frontier, recruit a large number of Confucian students to teach in government schools, so that children of all ethnic groups can enter school as soon as possible, implement the Tang Dynasty to educate civilization, and assimilate the ideas of ethnic minorities important task.

After the matter was explained, the prince continued to speak.

"Qi Wang Qin Wenyuan; but if you have any suggestions for the Yinqian Department, you might as well tell it in the hall for all the officials to listen to."

"Hehe! The Department of Banks and Coins has achieved such effects at the beginning. It was already expected by the king. When the imperial treasury increases and the economic situation of the country improves, the Banks and Banks under the Department of Banks and Coins will be able to develop. This will not only enable the circulation of money, but also help merchants alleviate the plight of insufficient funds. At the same time, it will enable the money department to obtain a large amount of interest to replenish the account treasury. sequential, strong development."

After Qin Wenyuan finished speaking, Wang Zhongxian, the admonisher, couldn't wait to refute.

"Isn't Prince Qin's proposal competing for the interests of the people? I think it is absolutely unfeasible."

Hearing Qin Wenyuan's proposal, this guy keenly felt that if the Yinzhuang, a subordinate bank of the Bank and Money Department, carried out lending, deposit and exchange business, this bank in official clothes would definitely be recognized by the people soon, and would lend money to the banks opened by various families Bringing a heavy blow and making the survival of these banks change from easy to difficult, wouldn't it greatly reduce the income of each family.

The wisdom of the ancients is not weak, especially the children of these aristocratic clans have been exposed to various industries in the family since childhood, how could they not know how much loss Xu Tian's suggestion would bring them.

Li Zhi frowned.

"Master Wang, please tell me why not?"

"His Royal Highness, the royal family and courts of all dynasties will not compete with the people for profit. This is a customary rule. If the country approves King Qi's proposal, won't the people of the world criticize it?"

This guy spoke eloquently and righteously, but Xu Tian said it sarcastically.

"The people in Wang Da's population are afraid of referring to the various families. The so-called competition for profit is afraid of competing for your profit! I think you have exploited the people by opening money houses and lending usury, so many people have ruined their families because of the interest of others, but still If you have the audacity to speak in the guise of the common people, aren’t you just afraid that the government-run bank will open a business for the convenience of the people, so that the gentry and merchants can bear more reasonable interest on loans, and the common people will benefit from depositing silver and rob the business of the bank opened by your family?”

Qin Wenyuan's words made sense, so that Li Zhi and the ministers who didn't understand the business of Yinzhuang, how to make money with money, and other joint ministers all had a better understanding of Yinzhuang.

Li Zhiwan did not expect that such a small organization would have so many ways. No wonder all the families, gangsters, and unscrupulous merchants are keen to open banks.

Many ministers in the palace understood the joints, and each formed a circle of discussion. Some honest and noble people hated the loan sharks in the private banks, and cursed the people who started the banks for their inhumanity, which made the ministers in the court who have such industries hate it. He gritted his teeth but did not dare to refute clearly.

Prince Li Zhi was still young, disgusted with the usury business of private banks, and said impulsively without thinking.

"Folk banks should be banned, so that the subjects of the Tang Dynasty will be less tortured!"

These words startled Qin Wenyuan, and secretly blamed the crown prince for not thinking clearly, thinking that the one who opened the bank did not secretly collude with the officials of the yamen, and the relationship was intricate. Those words came out, but they didn't know how powerful they were. It would definitely cause an uproar in Chang'an City.

In order to save the bad influence that the prince's remarks might cause, Qin Wenyuan hurriedly said.

"The crown prince's remarks are a bit biased. The imperial court can encourage the participation of private capital in the country's economic development, but it needs to formulate corresponding laws to restrict it. For private banks, the imperial court can first ask the money department to formulate corresponding laws and regulations. Strengthen management, and those banks that do not comply with the regulations and refuse to implement the regulations of the court can be punished or banned according to the regulations issued by the Department of Banking and Money.”

When Tang Jian, Minister of the Ministry of household affairs, heard the words, he secretly thought about the meaning of the words, and couldn't help admiring them.

"Prince Qi's proposal is a strategy that kills two birds with one stone, really ruthless!"

In the Taiji Hall, Li Zhi heard Qin Wenyuan's words, and after a little thought, he realized that what he said seemed inappropriate.

This kid was also quick to react, taking Qin Wenyuan's words and speaking again.

"The suggestion made by the King of Qi is exactly what this prince intends. When the household treasury is full, the silver and money department should formulate the detailed rules for the management of the bank and know that all the banks in Chang'an City will rectify within a time limit. All banks that do not comply with the regulations will be banned according to the regulations."

The prince's words can be regarded as the final conclusion on the bank.

The ministers in the hall who were related to this matter secretly hated Qin Wenyuan for his idea, and felt united with the enemy, wishing to eat this guy's meat to relieve their hatred.

Qin Wenyuan didn't know the hatred of "destroying people's money is like killing their parents", but this guy has a righteous spirit, and he can't see the miserable scene of poor people being forced by others. This is a limit, but he can't tolerate those wicked people who have black hearts, rely on the secret support of the yamen to do whatever they want, and don't give people a way to live.

This fellow servant looked at him resentfully, just like an expression of being accompanied by an old man.

After the dispersal of the dynasty, Wang Zhongxian, a member of the royal family, who was the imperial admonisher at the time, invited a group of children from the aristocratic family to block Xu Tian not far from the gate of the "Tai Chi Hall".

"Aren't you afraid of causing trouble with yourself if you propose such a proposal in the palace of Prince Qi?"

"Master Wang's words must be intended to threaten this king! To be honest, this king never wants to be an enemy, but he is not afraid of any threats. What this king does is for the benefit of the people. It is to follow my king's heart, as long as I think it is right, I will do it, just to get a clear mood, as for what others think, it has nothing to do with my king."

Among the courtiers who surrounded Qin Wenyuan with Wang Zhongxian were those who had practiced martial arts since childhood. Hearing such words that did not take them seriously, how could he bear the anger in his heart. I wondered how many courtiers in the court saw that they were not respectful, but this is the case. The servant does not enter the oil and salt.

The Hongnong Yang family of the Eight Great Families of Guanlong is a civil and military family. Since the Sui Dynasty, many descendants of the family have been generals in the army. Yang Hongzhi, who was the head of the Imperial Army of the Tang Dynasty at that time, was very dissatisfied with Xu Tian's virtues, thinking that this But the villain won the power, so he said angrily.

"Qin Wenyuan, others are afraid of you, but Yang is not!"

While speaking, this fellow moved closer to Qin Wenyuan, trying to overwhelm him with momentum and make him embarrass himself in front of the ministers who were leaving the palace one after another.

Qin Wenyuan squinted at this fellow, bent his right thumb and middle finger, and shot out a wisp of energy to prevent this fellow from approaching.

While Yang Hongzhi was moving, he suddenly saw the air fluctuating, this guy knew it very well, he breathed out loudly and made a move with one palm, attracting Qin Wenyuan's force to hit the ground.

"Prince Qi thinks that he wants to test his skills as a subordinate official. It is better to obey orders than to be respectful!"

This guy had such a heart, but he was afraid of committing the crime of contempt for the superior, and seeing Qin Wenyuan make a move was exactly what he wanted.

As the instructor of the Forbidden Army, Yang Hongzhi naturally has extraordinary martial arts skills.

This guy is self-confident in martial arts, has defeated many masters in the army, and developed a pretentious character. In addition, the Hongnong Yang family has a noble status in the Tang Dynasty, and is known as "Li Wuwei Yang" in the ruling and opposition parties. Fame makes this guy look up to the sky all the time, how can he know that there are such aliens as Qin Wenyuan in the world.

But after seeing this guy distract Qin Wenyuan's force, his two palms actually attacked Qin Wenyuan with a grappling technique.

At this time, a group of imperial court generals followed Li Jing, Xu Shiji and others out of the Tai Chi Hall just in time to see Yang Hongzhi attacking Qin Wenyuan, but Qin Wenyuan turned a blind eye to Yang Hongzhi's attack, with a strange smile on his face.

"To suffer!"

Yuchi Jingde knew that Qin Wenyuan's smile was sinister, so he couldn't help shouting in a low voice.

Sure enough, just as Yuchi finished speaking, Qin Wenyuan suddenly saw Qin Wenyuan's hands change, and he used the "Heaven and Earth Promise Hand" move to make palm shadows shoot at Yang Hongzhi from all directions.

"Crack!"

Yang Hongzhi's body came and went quickly.

I saw Qin Wenyuan standing motionless, but Yang Hongzhi flew upside down and knocked down several people behind him, his appearance was in a state of embarrassment.

"With the skill of a three-legged cat like you, you dare to fight with the young master. You really don't know how to live or die!"

Qin Wenyuan said while moving towards Yang Hongzhi who was lying on the ground.

Qin Shiji hurried forward to hold his nephew, for fear that this bastard would kill Yang Hongzhi in the palace.

At this time, the alarmed imperial guards surrounded him. Seeing that the chief instructor fell to the ground with a pale face, he asked the soldiers to help him up and urgently reported to Zhang Gongjin, the commander of the imperial guards.

In the Imperial Army signing room, Zhang Gongjin heard that there was a fight in the palace, and he was immediately frightened. He thought that if the emperor knew about this, he, the commander who guarded the peace and security of the palace, could hardly be blamed, and he would even be punished or dismissed for it. .

This guy hurried to the place where the accident happened. Fortunately, the signing house was not far from here, and he ran all the way there, but it took more than ten minutes.

At that time, Qin Wenyuan was surrounded by Qin Shiji, Li Jing and other generals and asked why the conflict arose. When he learned that it was Wang Zhongxian and Yang Hongzhi who provoked this guy, he cursed secretly.

"It's fine, what are you doing with this kid? You really want to die."

Surrounded by the forbidden army, Yang Hongzhi felt ashamed as their coach in front of many soldiers who usually respected him. He never thought that he was not a general of Qin Wenyuan who practiced martial arts since childhood. What face is there to hang out in the army.

Seeing Zhang Gongjin coming, this guy would be the first to file a complaint, saying that Qin Wenyuan had no law, dared to stir up trouble in the palace and injured himself.

Wang Zhongxian and other courtiers also echoed Yang Hongzhi's words, but Zhang Gong listened to one side of the story and shouted at Qin Wenyuan.

"Qin Wenyuan; as the prince of the Tang Dynasty, you still know the law of the king. Now you are provoking troubles in the palace and attacking the courtiers for no reason. This commander should fulfill the duty of protecting the palace. I want to temporarily detain you. I will report to the emperor and wait for the order. Fall."

Seeing that Zhang Gongjin was doing things like this without understanding the current situation, Qin Wenyuan laughed "haha" and said contemptuously.

"You little commander of the imperial army, what qualifications do you have to talk to me like this, get out!"

Zhang Gongjin was a second-rank member of the imperial court. After being so humiliated and reprimanded by Xu Tian, ​​his face suddenly became gloomy. He knew that he was not Qin Wenyuan's opponent, but he didn't believe that many people could not rule this guy because all the imperial guards in the palace were under his command.

"Qin Prince is a high-ranking nobleman, and a lowly position is not as good as it is. However, the prince's crime is the same as that of the common people. The palace is the site where Zhang commands the imperial guards. Today, the prince is full of power and is arrogant. Zhang must also enforce the law impartially. "

What this guy said was so righteous that it actually attracted the praise of many courtiers who were watching and didn't know the cause of the incident.

People in this world are roughly divided into those who don't think it's a big deal just to watch the excitement, those who take the opportunity to make trouble, or who have a sense of justice when they don't know the truth. There are not many people who really understand the facts and calmly analyze the situation.
