Datang first village

"Bashu is too difficult, and this king has nothing to do in a short time." Li Yuanxing was very helpless.

However, there is a saying in Bashu that the road to Shu is more difficult than Shangqing, and no one expected Li Yuanxing to find a solution immediately.

"Brother Shubao, I must ask you for something. This king intends to set up ten King Qin Money Banks in Chang'an, where anyone can exchange bad money into King Qin money, and then set a standard for the surrounding area. Shangzhou A few, like five. One in the lower county, which is only placed in the county town, and is specially used to exchange Qin Wang money!"

Li Yuanxing smiled and nodded at Qin Qiong.

At this moment, Qin Qiong understood Li Yuanxing's intentions, and his manpower could spread across [-]% of the states and counties in the Tang Dynasty quietly.And there are legitimate industries.

Cui Junsu said at this time: "The cost is huge. What a money store needs is a shopkeeper, a clerk, and enough guards. The cost of manpower is huge, and the store can't be a shop. Ordinary stores and warehouses cannot be ordinary warehouses, the cost is too high."

Cui Junsu's objection was not without reason.

"All expenses will be borne by the king. The Ministry of Household Affairs will not be allowed to pay half a cent. In order to promote Qin Wang's money, these are worthwhile. The future income will be even greater, and we will be profitable if we exchange bad money for good money."

Qin Qiong immediately echoed Li Yuanxing's statement: "In terms of exchanging one dollar for three cents, the profit is huge, enough to support the money. Moreover, I can also send some personnel from the security department out to give them a place to stay." Presumably in the future, His Highness will open the money line to the desert, grassland, and the Western Regions, and only then will the real effect be seen!"

Qin Qiong's reason is also reasonable.

Li Jing also nodded: "A certain support, this matter is feasible."

"You can secretly supervise the prefectures and counties, but you also have to guard against the people from the security department. There must be a rule, and the Holy One must also like it. It is reasonable for the household department to pay the wages of one shopkeeper and two employees." Du Ruhui also proposed My own opinion.

Cui Junsu shook his head: "The household department doesn't pay a penny. The household department gives up all the profits of this money, and His Royal Highness King Qin pays all the expenses, and also earns a profit from this office."

"Don't regret it!" Li Yuanxing asked with a smile.

"I will never regret it, let me write it as evidence!" Cui Junsu became serious.

Li Yuanxing waved his hand: "It's not necessary to make a letter with you. However, the Ministry of Household Affairs will regret it later, and talk to this king again. This king will not take advantage of you!"

Li Yuanxing even gave up part of the coin casting workshop to the Ministry of household affairs.

Cui Junsu really couldn't tell that Li Yuanxing would take advantage of the household department.

"Your Highness, in our Seventh Family, the honorable family, pure copper, silver, and gold are still as mentioned before. The exchange of bad money for King Qin's money is also determined at this market price. This matter will be explained to the world by a certain person."

Cui Junsu believes that he can be persuaded, because the price of rice in Chang'an City has already shown the strong purchasing power of King Qin's money.

"Okay, let's continue. Snow salt, snow sugar, beef, of course, let the commercial department consider it, and you can choose some more. These must be purchased with Qin Wang's money, not to increase the price, but to let the people know that Qin Wang's money is used. The actual benefits come. What do you think?"

Du Ruhui was the first to support: "This plan is a good one!"

"Don't discuss this, let Gao Jian worry about it. In short, if you want to buy some things, you must use Qin Wang's money. At least [-]% of the goods on the market must be purchased with Qin Wang's money. In this way, the circulation is guaranteed. , and there are enough raw materials to make new King Qin coins." Fang Xuanling concluded this matter.

But Cui Junsu said again: "Many people have cash silver, gold cakes, and copper ingots at home. How can I change them?"

"Of course it's a question that you, Cui Shangshu, discussed with Cui Changshi of Prince Qin's Palace." Fang Xuanling said again.

"Do you need to discuss it in Tianying Pavilion, or do you need to report to the Holy Master?" Cui Junsu asked again.

Du Ruhui looked at Li Yuanxing, but didn't notice any abnormality on Li Yuanxing's expression. After thinking about it, he said, "In the final analysis, this is the private money of the Qin Palace, not the money of the household department. The household department is only for management, so Tianying Pavilion can't control it." But it is still necessary to report to the Holy Majesty."

Bypassing Tianying Pavilion, I just don't want Tianying Pavilion to cause any trouble.

Not because of money.

It's because Qin Qiong wants to open a huge number of money banks, which may number in the thousands or even tens of thousands in the future.

Li Yuanxing is also thinking about this: "Now let's talk about the plan of Qianxing. After talking about this, we won't talk about money anymore. Let's talk about food."

Everyone laughed.

Yuan Chun had already come over at this time, and after he came in alone, Lu Maofeng shook his head slightly at her.Yuan Chun nodded, and went out to bring in those boxes several times by himself, and put them on the table at the entrance.

Lu Maofeng was the personal guard, so he couldn't move around at this time.

Just now he shook his head to Yuan Chun to mean that what is being discussed here is not a trivial matter, so don't ask the lowly maids to come in.So Yuan Chun brought those boxes in several times by himself and put them on the table.

Then there is another pot, and a barrel with steel inside and wood outside.

Finally, a pallet.

On the tray were two ice creams, which were placed in front of Li Jing and Qin Qiong respectively.

"This freezing point is very good. I have used it just now, before it melts!" Fang Xuanling said to Li Jing and Qin Qiong.

Then there were five more cups. Yuan Chun used bamboo tongs to pick out ice cubes from the steel-inner-wooden barrel, and then poured black liquid out of the jug.This is Li Yuanxing's cola. The cost of cola made with the solid cola block brought to Datang and soaked in water is naturally extremely low.

What was served to Du Ruhui was a prescription prescribed by Sun Laodao, a carefully prepared herbal tea.

"Yuanchun, this king also drinks tea, you can take this cup!" Li Yuanxing gently pushed the cup.

"Thank you, Your Highness!" Yuan Chun saluted, put the cup aside, arranged the snacks and fruits on the table, and then stepped aside with the cup.

Qin Qiong directly picked up her cup and walked up to Lu Maofeng, and handed the cup over.

"Don't find a reason to refuse, take it!" Qin Qiong asked Lu Maofeng to take it, but Lu Maofeng took it with both hands after seeing Li Yuanxing's secret approval: "Thank you, General!"

Qin Qiong smiled and nodded, and teased Li Yuanxing: "Your Royal Highness only knows how to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade!"

Everyone laughed, and Li Yuanxing also shook his head with a smile. He didn't answer the question and directly changed the topic: "Brother Shubao, first build two hundred, and you choose the location. After you choose, give me a plan. These days, you live in Qinwangzhuang for a few days, and I have something to teach you."

"Of course I want to ask Wulang for advice." Qin Qiong sat down with a smile.

Li Yuanxing had something to teach Qin Qiong, and everyone present, including Qin Qiong, didn't know what it would be.

What Li Yuanxing wants to teach is a very deep knowledge.

Even how to start teaching, Li Yuanxing didn't fully think about it. In fact, Li Yuanxing's teaching of this class is far better than Wu Zhao's teaching.

So what Li Yuanxing did was just to let Qin Qiong understand.

Because the course Li Yuanxing wants to teach is called "Banking", which must conform to the background of the times, have a sufficient social and economic foundation, and combine knowledge.

How to develop Datang's future bank is no longer something that can be taught in textbooks for later generations.

Everything starts from scratch, and everything moves forward.

This is also the reason why Li Yuanxing didn't mention a word, but only planned to tell Qin Qiong alone. Li Yuanxing didn't know how to do it or how to develop.If the bank is done well, Datang's economy will be bright.And if the bank fails, Datang's economy will enter a dark age.

At least Li Yuanxing knew that the original money houses in the Song Dynasty were limited to various kinds of money of different quality.

However, the bank of the whip dynasty in the later generations could not withstand the slightest impact from the western banks, which greatly affected the economy of the whip dynasty, almost causing the economy to collapse.

"Next, let's talk about food!" Li Yuanxing didn't show any superfluous expression on his face.

Only then did Yuan Chun place those boxes on the table one by one.And began to introduce:

"This is sweet-scented osmanthus candy, walnut candy, peanut candy, thousand silk candy, sesame candy, walnut candy, praline candy..." Yuan Chun went on to say more than a dozen candies.

Then I took out a few square ones that looked like bricks.

"This is popcorn candy, this is popcorn candy, this is millet candy, this is sorghum candy, and this is..."

More than a dozen kinds of candy made people look dizzy, but what Yuan Chun took out was an iron box. When the iron box was opened, there was a wooden box inside. Inside the wooden box was a brown one, the size of a mahjong block. , square candies.

"This is raw sugar, the raw sugar used to make all the sugar. It can be said that this raw sugar is seen by outsiders for the first time except for the person who made it. This thing is the treasure of this king, and the production process belongs to the Qin Palace. Top secret, let Lu Maofeng tell you how good this candy is!"

After Li Yuanxing finished speaking, he nodded at Lu Maofeng.

Lu Maofeng took three steps forward, stood in front of the table and gave a military salute, but did not rush to speak, but took out a candy from his bosom, and then said: "This is rice candy, a kind of rice candy that His Highness uses for testing. Candy bars."

"Test what?" Li Jing asked.

"A sergeant who eats this candy has better physical strength than a sergeant who does not eat candy. Moreover, in the training of a [-]-mile heavy-loaded run, if there are two pieces of this candy, it will take at least three more miles to feel tired. It can go up to five miles. But four candies are not much different, and most people eat four candies and they are still the same."

Lu Maofeng explained the function of this sugar in the simplest way.

Li Jing picked up the candy and put it in his mouth: "Sweet, but not as sweet as sugar. Maybe it's because of the added rice!"

"No, the sweetness of this sugar itself is only [-]% of that of sugar, so it is normal that it is not sweet. But it is very cheap and cheap sugar. In my case, this kind of sugar is not expensive in raw materials, but in labor. I really can't think of a good way to industrialize mass production, so I just tried to make [-] catties!"

Fifty thousand catties! ! ! (To be continued.)
