The most powerful emperor grandson of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 1009 Li Shimin’s Sons

"This shouldn't be..."

Li Xiang said a little strangely. This is what he dared to say. If it had been another person, he would have been detected by Li Shimin's men in black. Once this matter was confirmed, Li Shimin would definitely not Show mercy.

Wang De said that there were less affairs inside and outside the palace, and you said no, then what are you thinking?Do you think there should be such nonsense happening in the palace every day?Can’t the emperor live a peaceful life for a few days?
"There are many people involved with King Qi..."

When Wang De resigned, he whispered this into Li Xiang's ear, and then left with his young eunuchs. He didn't want to stay with Li Xiang for too long, mainly because Li Xiang had such a strong voice. There is no need to hold anything back. You are also the third most powerful person in the Tang Dynasty, and others are not a threat to you. Of course you can say whatever you want. We are all slaves. If the emperor is really angry, If so, it's impossible to take it out on you, but the heads of us people...

"What's wrong with King Qi?"

Li Xiang didn't have a good impression of this guy at all. Back then, the emperor asked this guy to go to the Western Regions for training. Although he did some things for Li Xiang, it mostly caused a lot of trouble. It's just that although this guy was messing around , but can something happen under Li Shimin's nose?

"Lack of treasury silver..."

Xiao Xiazi hurriedly came over and told Li Xiang what King Qi had done. He didn't know what Li Shimin was thinking. He actually asked this guy to go to the Ministry of Revenue to check the accounts. In the end, the officials in the Ministry of Revenue did not commit corruption, but he himself did it. 15 pieces of silver went to his home.

"Is this guy crazy? He dares to do such a thing in Chang'an City?"

Li Xiang really doesn't understand this guy. You must know that each piece of Hubu Treasury silver has its own mark. 15 taels of silver is not a small amount. If you say you want to take it to your own house, take it to your own house. This is not asking for death. ?

"Who says it's not the case? Everyone in Chang'an City feels strange. As soon as this money was brought in, someone soon went to sue Desire. Some people said that His Highness King Qi was cheated, but by whom, so far There is no result.”

Xiao Xia Zi said with some embarrassment. He also wanted to find out about this matter, and he had put all his efforts into it, but in the end he found no results. Instead, several people were lost. Xiao Xia Zi Know that this matter is not that simple.

"Who took the job later?"

Who is the biggest beneficiary in certain things, then he may have done it. This has been proven countless times, but people in this era don't quite understand. Even if you are as smart as Xiao Xiazi, He couldn't figure out what was going on here either.

"His Royal Highness King Wu has gone."

Li Xiang was not confused just now. He might be able to find the murderer by using this theory. Of course, Li Xiang was just a bit gossipy and did not really want to interfere in this matter. After all, this matter has nothing to do with us, but when After hearing what Xiao Xiazi said, Li Xiang's eyes widened. Xiao Xiazi also knew that this was hard to believe, but it was the truth.

"His Royal Highness King Wu went to the Ministry of Revenue to take office on the third day. He is still in charge of the tax bank of the Ministry of Revenue." In this era of the Tang Dynasty, most of the tax revenue was copper coins and grain, as well as some cloth and rolls. And so on, but then the economic situation improved, and some of the money collected was silver. This silver mainly came from other places, but in terms of money, silver is definitely the most valuable, so it can guard the household treasury. Yin, this must be someone the emperor can trust.

"This is really interesting. Did I see the wrong person at first?"

Li Xiang was a bit confused at this moment. He originally thought that King Wu Li Ke was an upright person and would not do such clever things. But now he is indeed the biggest beneficiary. If we want to talk about him and this If it doesn't matter, that's probably not possible.

"It has nothing to do with us, right?"

Li Xiang is too lazy to care about these dog-eating things in the court. As long as there are people in the court, it is impossible to ban all these things, especially none of Li Shimin's sons are fools. If they are locked up at home, If you study hard, you will probably all go crazy in two months.

"The imperial court set up a household bank..."

Xiao Xiazi's words made Li Xiang understand what was going on.

The success of Zhi Da Bao allowed everyone to see the power of capital. Li Shimin would never be idle, and the money in the Ministry of Revenue had always been in the bank. After these years of war, the imperial court was also able to take out some of the money. Come on, he couldn't make money specifically for Zhi Daobao. The court also wanted to make a fortune. Investing in Zhi Daobao could indeed provide dividends, but it was not as good as creating a bank by himself.

"Don't worry, Your Highness, although the imperial court has also established a bank, our old customers are deeply tied to us, so their business is still in our bank. Although the imperial court's household bank also has greater discounts, I asked shopkeeper Cheng and they found that our business has not been greatly infringed."

Xiao Xiazi thought that this was what Li Xiang was worried about. Because Zhidaobao was established relatively early, it had already entered all aspects of society. Even if other banks appeared now, there was no way to compete with Zhidaobao.

What's more, Zhi Da Bao has dealings with major families. The amount of money spent in the past is already an astronomical figure. In recent years, Li Xiang has also pioneered installment repayment, so those who want to Zhi Da Bao can The Hubu Bank is not yet capable of grabbing a big customer.

"Find someone to keep an eye on this matter carefully. If you need to mobilize manpower, you can do it yourself. I want to know the ins and outs of the whole thing, and I can't pass by any details."

As soon as Li Xiang said this, the nature of the matter was different from before. In the past, it could be investigated or not investigated. They did not realize the seriousness of the matter. Everyone focused on the court. As for capital changes outside the imperial court, these people still have the same old ideas.

For more than 1000 years, agriculture, industry and commerce have been followed, so no matter how high the status of a merchant is, they will not think too highly of it. Therefore, Xiao Xiazi did not deploy too many people on this matter. Now Li Xiang If you want to know, then you can gather people from all over Chang'an to investigate this matter vigorously.
