Chapter 369 Queen Xiao and Wu Meiniang meet

Li Chengdao's words did give them a big surprise.

The bank was founded by the imperial court, and with the support and policy support of the state, it must have a bright future.

The most important thing is that the bank regulates the entire Datang economy and market. How terrible will the profit in one year be?

Even if the three of them share 10% of the profits, it will be more than the profits of their three major banks in a year!

What's more important is that such a profit is not only considerable, but also very stable!

So the compensation given by Li Chengdao can be described as more than just generous?

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your great grace!"

Zheng Yuanzhou, Empress Xiao and the head of the Liu family all bowed to Li Chengdao to thank him.

Li Chengdao just smiled lightly and didn't say anything.

Giving the three families 10% of the profit is indeed quite a lot, but the Zheng family is from their own mother's family and the Xiao family is an in-law, so they cannot be treated lightly.

As for the Liu family, they just took advantage of their two families.

In addition, there is another reason, that is, if the three major banks take the initiative to help in the early stage of opening a bank, then the establishment will be much smoother.

You must know that the three major money banks opened all over the Tang Dynasty and outside.

Not to mention their vast influence, credibility and reputation are also things that cannot be bought.

And this matter is related to their vital interests, so they will naturally go all out to help the court run the bank well.

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I will ensure that the bank is opened even if it costs the entire family's wealth!"

The head of the Liu family was so excited that he almost burst into tears and said in a very firm tone.

He understands one thing very well, that is, only by clinging to the court and Li Chengdao can the Liu family truly rise!

Maybe you can truly become one of the top families!

Not to mention Zheng Yuanzhou and Empress Xiao, with their family's relationship with Li Chengdao and receiving such compensation, they will go all out to do this.

Li Chengdao nodded when he saw this.

Then, he talked about all the bank loans, insurance and other businesses.

His idea is to let the three major banks be responsible for providing relevant management talents.

After all, the three major banks have been established for hundreds of years, and no one can do better than them in this field.

Zheng Yuanzhou was amazed by the various businesses proposed by Li Chengdao.

Because these businesses are not only hugely profitable, but also related to people's livelihood.

So he simply got involved and discussed and analyzed the detailed implementation plan with Li Chengdao.

After discussing with the three family heads about integrating banks and opening a bank, Li Chengdao stayed with the three more people to have dinner together.

The most important thing is to keep Zheng Yuanzhou and Queen Xiao, after all, they are all acquaintances.

The head of the Liu family understood the situation and did not stay to eat, but took the initiative to leave.

"Uncle, you might as well come to the palace to celebrate the Spring Festival this year. Ran'er has not been home for a long time and misses her uncle and aunt very much. Her mother often talks about her uncle."

Li Chengdao picked up the wine glass and said to Zheng Yuanzhou.

Zheng Yuanzhou's face turned slightly red after drinking, and he felt a little apologetic when he heard this, and said: "I was negligent. As the head of the Zheng family, I am busy with family affairs, so I don't come to Chang'an much.

I will bring your aunt to Chang'an during the Spring Festival this year. "

"Very good."

Li Chengdao showed a smile and asked the maid on the side to pour wine for Zheng Yuanzhou.

The two of them were drinking, and Empress Xiao, a female, could not serve at the table due to etiquette.

So after just eating a few mouthfuls of food, Queen Xiao said: "Your Majesty, I haven't seen Concubine Shu for a long time. I would like to go to Xiaolan Palace to visit you. I hope your Majesty will allow it."

After hearing what Empress Xiao said, Li Chengdao nodded and said, "Well, Empress Xiao can do what she wants."

"Gao Huai, go and lead the way for Empress Xiao." Li Chengdao ordered Gao Huai.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Gao Huai respectfully agreed, and then led Queen Xiao out of the side room.

After Empress Xiao went to Xiaolan Palace with Gao Huai, she did not see Concubine Shu Xiao Qiuyu.

"Concubine Shu has gone to Concubine Chongyi's Feihuang Palace. Today, the empresses have a card game and should play mahjong together."

Said the maid staying behind in Xiao Lan Palace.

"Feihuang Palace? Empress Chongyi?"

Queen Xiao was a little surprised. Why hadn't she heard of this empress in the palace?

Seeing this, Gao Huai explained: "Empress Chongyi is the biological mother of King Huan."

Hearing this, Queen Xiao was surprised and said, "Is King Huan's biological mother that Wu Meiniang?"

Wu Meiniang's name is very famous even in the Tang Dynasty.

She was the one who made the plans to overthrow the Byzantine Empire, and she concealed her pregnancy in order not to distract Li Chengdao from national affairs. She was praised by countless people and can be called a model of female virtue.

"It's that lady."

Gao Huai smiled and nodded.

Queen Xiao thought for a moment, and then said to him: "Please, Eunuch Gao, please lead the way."

"Of course, Empress Xiao is here to invite you."

Gao Huai bowed slightly, then stepped forward to lead the way.

Queen Xiao followed him to Feihuang Palace.

When Queen Xiao came to Feihuang Palace, four concubines including Xiao Qiuyu, Zheng Ran, Queen Deshan and Wu Meiniang were playing mahjong together.

After hearing the announcement, the four girls all ended their card games and went over to receive them.

"Auntie?!"

After seeing Queen Xiao, Xiao Qiuyu's face was full of surprise and her tone was full of joy.

She originally entered Li Chengdao's harem on the recommendation of Queen Xiao, but after entering the palace, she had fewer opportunities to meet Queen Xiao.

So she was very happy to see Queen Xiao again.

"You have grown up a lot."

Queen Xiao took Xiao Qiuyu's hand, feeling both happy and a little sad.

The girl she once was is now a woman, becoming more mature and attractive.

After saying a few words to Xiao Qiuyu, Queen Xiao bowed to Wu Meiniang and others one by one.

"I see the imperial concubine, the virtuous concubine, and the concubine Chongyi."

Queen Xiao's etiquette was extremely thoughtful.

Queen Deshan smiled slightly and said: "Queen Xiao, there is no need to be too polite. I have admired the name of Queen Xiao for a long time."

Empress Xiao was a legendary woman, and all the concubines had heard of her deeds, but this was the first time they had seen her in person.

It is indeed as beautiful as the legend.
