I directed the Xuanwumen Incident

"expansion?"

Xu Fenglei's expression froze, and he repeated it.

"Yes, expand, expand to the whole Tang Dynasty, and even to foreign lands!"

There was a little excitement in Li Qingquan's tone, she pulled out a scroll from under the table and put it on the table.

Whoa!

The scroll is unrolled, and it is a map of the territory of the Tang Dynasty!There are even outlines of outer regions such as the Northern Border, the Western Region, and South Vietnam on it.

"Qingquan, where did you get this map?"

Xu Fenglei stroked the territory map, and said in shock,
"This is not easy to do, this!"

Throughout the dynasties, maps have been extremely sensitive objects, and possession of maps is the same crime as possession of arms and armor!

If what is hidden is a Kanyu map, then you don’t even need to ask, just kill your head!
Right now, this picture shows all the provinces, prefectures, prefectures, and counties in the Tang Dynasty in detail, and it can already be regarded as a dangerous item!
"If you have money, you can turn ghosts around, so what's the point of getting a map?"

Li Qingquan smiled and said,
"Tu'er bought it from the King of Huai'an with a lot of money. He still has a lot! I picked the best one."

Xu Fenglei: "???"

Good guy!This is still a military map!
Punishment, this is really too much punishment!

"You, you... Neither money nor power should be abused. The idea of ​​'money can make ghosts turn mills' is bad! Do you know?"

Xu Fenglei didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so he could only admonish him,
"Forget it this time, don't do anything beyond the rules in the future! That old boy Li Shentong is ignorant, and you are also ignorant?"

"Go, close the store door, this picture can't be shown easily in the future."

Li Qingquan nodded obediently, trotted all the way to close the door, and lit two more candles.

The room suddenly lit up.

"The space for the Western Regions on this map is too small."

Xu Fenglei looked at it for a while, and said with emotion,

"The Western Regions, Tianzhu, the Middle East, Europe... There are countless countries and wonderful civilizations there, which are worth exploring."

"The reason why I fully support Xuanzang's trip to Tianzhu to learn Buddhist scriptures is because I want him to turn into a ray of light and clear away the fog on this map."

Although he was a person of later generations and also owned a globe, but as an ordinary person, how could he remember so much?

Those who only know that Stannerstan went to the west can't even remember the name, and they don't even know the ancient country on that land.

"Hmm... Are there any treasures in the Western Regions?"

Li Qingquan stared at the map and asked suddenly.

"Of course, there are rich mineral deposits there!"

Xu Fenglei said firmly,
"Gold mines, silver mines, gemstones... everything!"

"You are often in the West Market, and you should also often deal with those Hu merchants in the Western Regions, right? You should know how rich their financial resources are."

Li Qingquan's eyes lit up.

"They're really rich!"

She continued,
"Every time I come to the bank to make a deposit, I come directly with gold bricks! The amount is huge!"

"To be honest, if our bank wants to increase profits locally in the next few years, we must start with these barbarians. They are all fat, oily golden pigs!"

"Ah... You said that I want to open a bank in the Western Regions even more!"

As Li Qingquan spoke, stars began to appear in his eyes.

Xu Fenglei: "..."

How come I didn't realize that this girl is such a money fanatic before!
When I have time, I will tell her fortune, and I guess that in the fortune, Wu Qu Lu Cun Tianfu, these wealthy stars are all prosperous in the temple, and they also bring Hua Quan Hua Lu.

"This vision is still very far away, let's talk about the immediate things first."

He waved his hand and asked,

"How do you plan to expand?"

Hey.

Li Qingquan's finger pointed to a place on the map.

"Although Chang'an is the most benevolent place and the center of wealth gathering, it is only a city after all, and the rich people it can accommodate are limited. Naturally, the wealth it can accommodate is also limited."

She said seriously,

"Therefore, if the bank's profit wants to increase, it must focus on the world! Go dig out the wealth of the whole Tang!"

"If we want to expand, the first semicolon, Qingquan plans to open in Luoyang."

Xu Fenglei nodded.

"Luoyang was once the capital of the country, the land of the Central Plains, and has always been prosperous." He commented.

"Yes, although Luoyang is not the capital of my Tang Dynasty, there are few powerful people, but there are many rich people, and its wealth potential is even higher than Chang'an!"

Li Qingquan analyzed,

"Father has been operating in Luoyang for many years, and I have lived in Luoyang for a long time, so I know something about it."

"If this Luoyang branch can be successfully opened, Qingquan has the confidence to double the annual profit of Fenglei Bank!"

Xu Fenglei stroked his palm lightly, smiled noncommittally.

"Then what about the second one, where do you plan to open?"

he asked again.

"After Luoyang, opening a semicolon is naturally a choice to go south."

Li Qingquan took it for granted, said,
"The south of the Yangtze River is rich and prosperous! Like Suzhou and Yangzhou, they are all prosperous places. It must be beneficial to open a bank!"

Xu Fenglei shook his head.

"Why, Master, is what Qingquan said wrong?" Li Qingquan showed doubts.

She glanced at the map twice——

There is nothing wrong with my own strategy!

"You only think about what is beneficial, but you don't think about what is the most important condition for opening a bank."

Xu Fenglei smiled lightly.

"What is it?" Li Qingquan looked at Xu Fenglei, bowed and said respectfully, "Please enlighten me, master."

No matter how well she has done, in her heart, Master's level will always be higher than hers, and it is much higher!
"security."

Xu Fenglei spat out two words and said in a deep voice,

"Qian Zhuang Qian Zhuang, it can be understood literally, this is a treasury!"

"It is said that a man is not guilty, but he is guilty of carrying a jade. With such a treasury standing in the city, who do you think is not envious?"

"Think about it, whether it's by stealing or robbing, as long as you get some money from this bank, you will be able to live comfortably in this life! If it were you, would you think about it when your family was desperate? Do you want to take a chance? You don’t even need to have a family, some gamblers will take risks if they are jealous of gambling.”

Li Qingquan was startled.

"But the things Master said never seem to have happened..." she murmured.

Hearing what Master said, Li Qingquan was also puzzled.

Yes, logically speaking, there should be such people.

But why hasn't she come across it?

The bank has been in business for several years, and it has always been peaceful, and no one is making trouble...

"Hmph, isn't that a good plan for the teacher?"

Xu Fenglei snorted softly,

"I separate the bank from the treasury. The bank is only open for business and does not keep gold and silver. The gold and silver must be stored in the treasury every day and sealed."

"As for the treasury, I set it up next to Jingzhao Mansion, which is the place with the best security and the strictest management in the whole length! Ban Jinwu Guard is here to guard the vault together with the security personnel I hired."

"This not only increases the density of defense, but also reduces the probability of self-stealing."

"Chang'an's stable law and order, coupled with the garrison of the Jinwu Guard and our own security personnel, form a three-layer protection! Only in this way can you operate in peace for so many years without any major accidents."

"Do you understand now?"

Li Qingquan showed a look of astonishment.

Obviously, before this, this girl didn't think so much at all!
"I understand, I understand..."

She said with a face of shame,
"It's because Qingquan's thinking is too simple. In the bank business, security is the first priority. If security is not in place, once it is stolen or robbed, not to mention the profit cannot be kept, even the depositor's savings will be included, then it will be a loss. Big hair!"

That kind of situation... I dare not even think about it!
"Yep!"

Xu Fenglei snapped his fingers and said,

"So, if you want to open a semicolon, the first thing to solve is the security issue!"

"Therefore, if you want to choose a location, you must choose those places with good public security and strong imperial control. Luoyang is indeed good, but Yangzhou and Suzhou have yet to be considered."

"In fact, Yizhou is not bad either. The Minjiang River nourishes the Chengdu Plain, and it is also a place where the people are safe and prosperous."

Da-da, da-da.

He marked several places on the map.

"This, this, and here... the old Shandong Road, Yizhou Road, and the boundary of Yongzhou."

Xu Fenglei said,

"Although these places can't be called rich, they are all places that your father once skipped. Relatively speaking, we have stronger control."

"With a semicolon in these places, the profit may not be so high, but the victory lies in stability."

Li Qingquan glanced at it, swiped a few strokes, and wrote down everything Xu Fenglei clicked.

"Thanks to Master for teaching, Qingquan has benefited a lot."

Her eyes showed reverence, and she said,
"I also ask Master to teach me more, so as not to take detours in my mind."

After finishing speaking, her expression suddenly showed a hint of cunning.

Backed by a big tree...it's good to enjoy the shade!

"You girl... want to make your hair white for the teacher, don't you?"

Xu Fenglei rolled his eyes and said helplessly,

"Okay, then as a teacher, I will tell you again."

"Running one store is not the same thing as running multiple stores. It's much harder!"

"If you want to open a semicolon in the whole Tang Dynasty, this business model must be completely changed. Here, you can refer to the imperial court. The imperial court set up government offices in various states and counties and appointed officials to maintain the country's rule and social operation. You can also use the Fenglei Bank As for how to set up the 'government' and appoint and remove 'officials' to ensure smooth operation, that's what you have to think about."

Li Qingquan nodded repeatedly and took notes seriously.

"After finalizing the business model, it is time to formally select a location, and then there are two more problems."

Xu Fenglei said again,
"First, how to make a name quickly so that the rich and common people trust you and are willing to save in the bank? After all, although the Fenglei bank is well-known around Chang'an, it is nothing in the entire Tang Dynasty. People in remote places are relatively backward in thinking, and it is not easy to make them trust."

"Secondly, it is an old-fashioned security issue. As I said, triple protection is needed to ensure the relative safety of the treasury. Of course we have to dispatch security forces, but at the same time, we also need the cooperation of the local government. This is very important! Chang'an, I can use my position to ask Jingzhao Fu Yin to help me, so what about in other places? How can I let local officials obey orders and protect the interests of the bank? With my name as the prince and grand teacher? Those local officials don't bring Take care of me!"

After some words, Li Qingquan frowned.

"Call the name..."

"Local officials assisted..."

"Propaganda, security... hiss!"

She supported her smooth forehead with a troubled expression on her face.

"How is it, headache?"

Xu Fenglei joked.

"Yeah... I thought it was easy at first, and I was full of confidence, but now I hear you say that, it's really difficult!"

Li Qingquan pouted, a little discouraged and said,
"The business model can still be thought about, but I have no idea about the last two problems that Master said, especially the assistance of local officials. possible……"

"It seems that the opening of the semicolon has to be postponed for a few years. There is no rush..."

This time, she felt a sense of frustration that she had hit the south wall and had to turn back.

"Hahaha... Nothing is difficult in the world, as long as you are willing to climb."

Xu Fenglei patted her on the head habitually, suddenly felt a little inappropriate, and quickly withdrew his hand back, hesitantly said with a smile,

"Take you as a beauty..."

"Well, how about this! As the owner of Fenglei Bank, you can't always let you, a weak woman, overcome all difficulties, can you? I should also do my part!"

"As for you, you will be responsible for building a new business model, and the next two problems will be handed over to the teacher to solve!"

"Okay?"

Li Qingquan's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Master has a solution?!" She stepped forward and grabbed the corner of Xu Fenglei's clothes, and said repeatedly.

"Cough...not yet, but there must be a way for the car to reach the mountain. Maybe I will figure it out in two days."

Xu Fenglei said confidently,
"Anyway, don't worry, there has never been a thing that can hinder your master! These two problems are covered by the teacher!"

Just kidding, I can direct and plan the change of Xuanwu Gate, a mere bank is nothing!
"Thank you, Master!"

Li Qingquan smiled brightly, his eyes sparkled, and there was a bit of admiration hidden in them.

Xu Fenglei avoided her gaze, and said suddenly: "By the way, what's the progress of Liu Fubo's matter? I'm still very interested in his sailing project."

Li Qingquan pouted.

"Can I say that this project is really expensive?"

She complained a little unhappy, "It takes more than half a year to build a big ship, and the resources consumed, such as solid wood and iron nails, are countless. It is simply a bottomless pit!"

"That guy still thinks that one ship is not enough, and wants a fleet! Said it would be safer to sail that way! I will send him to Dengzhou directly, and give him a sum of money every year, let him wait slowly!"

Xu Fenglei smiled.

"can."

He nodded in agreement and said, "Just give him some money every year to build ships and recruit navigators, so that he can temper his impetuous temperament."

"Tell him, if you can really set sail, why not wait ten years?"

Li Qingquan nodded. "Master is right, then according to the budget, the funds will be allocated to him in ten years." She snorted softly, "Even if the money is thrown into the water, it can be divided for a few more years, and it is better to throw less every year."

Xu Fenglei: "..."

The Scrooge Princess belongs to Yes!
