The most powerful emperor grandson of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 264 Exchange the world
Take banks in modern society as an example. It used to be that handling fees were charged for withdrawing money across regions. Only when withdrawing money from local markets, there was no handling fee. But later this was cancelled. This is basically the bank's [-]% money-making business. This is what Li Xiang is now taking advantage of.

"In fact, in the future, official silver from various parts of the imperial court can be transported by our company. For example, the tax silver shipped from Yangzhou to Chang'an will take at least nearly two months according to the original time. But if we use our company to transport it, This route to Baobao only takes fifteen days, which is four times faster than before.”

Li Xiang saw that these three old men had fallen into the trap, so he had to start deceiving them. If you don't do business for the government, then such an enterprise will never be able to do big business. Only the government's business will be left to you. Only then can you become an official merchant, and only then can your bank be able to exchange money with the world.

After Li Xiang finished speaking, none of the three people said anything. These three people were all old foxes. Li Xiang was not in a hurry. These three people were not easy to fool. If the three of them expressed their opinions on the spot, Li Xiang would On the contrary, Xiang feels that there is a pit in it.

"This matter can be discussed, but it is best to try it out first."

Fang Xuanling said a relatively moderate idea.

"The Prime Minister is right. All aspects need to be adjusted slowly. We are still in the process of exploring. However, it is also for the good of the court. If all of our Zhi Daobao accounts are collected, it will not only save time, but the most important thing is There is no need for the imperial court to send a large number of guards. As far as I know, all taxes from various places are transported to the capital. The total number of guards is nearly 2. The cost of these people on the road every year is not a small amount, and There is also the matter of lost tax money..."

Li Xiang's words really spoke to their hearts. Every year when transporting taxes to Chang'an City, some people always take risks. Although robbing the imperial court's taxes is a capital crime, some people are willing to do it.

"Now is the day when Qiu Shui enters the capital. You should discuss with him to find out which places have tax money that has not been shipped yet, and let them take the path of finding treasures."

Li Shimin was still hesitant just now, but after hearing Li Xiang talk about this benefit, Li Shimin couldn't hold back anymore. According to the law of the Tang Dynasty, warehousing is done twice a year, and the transportation time and expenses on the road each time are just too much. Not a decimal number.

Although the 5.00% handling fee is a bit expensive, compared with the court's losses and expenses, this number is at least reduced by more than half than before, and the court still makes a profit in general.

"The minister obeys the order."

Fang Xuanling also calculated in his mind that if this is the case, he can save the court 50 guan every year. The total tax amount of the Tang Dynasty court in a year is about 1000 to 50 million guan. This [-] guan is already a lot. .

"My grandson also wants to ask the emperor's grandfather to make a decree. If the emperor's grandfather can agree, then the silver coins transferred to the imperial court will be collected if the treasure is less than one cent."

Hearing Li Xiang's words, Li Shimin was ready to agree. Although it was only one percent, if it were applied nationwide, it would be 12 yuan per year. Is this a small number?
"What the hell are you going to do?"

Of course, Li Shimin also knew that Li Xiang was unprofitable, so how could he push away the money that should belong to him?There must be something else going on.

"Grandpa, please give me an order. If anyone dares to seize the treasured silver car, it will be equivalent to robbing the household department's silver car and killing the nine tribes." There is a reason why Li Xiang wanted this edict. Although there are still some desperate people in the world, The circulation of money in Zhidaobao is different from that in the imperial court. It is at least 90.00% less than that in the imperial court. After all, there is money in Zhidaobao warehouses everywhere, and you can just withdraw it locally.

But with this imperial edict, the losses of Zhi Da Bao will be further reduced. Once they heard that the nine tribes were going to be killed, these Jiangyang Dao had to think carefully.

"I can agree to this. After all, you are helping the imperial court transfer silver, which can be regarded as doing something for the imperial court."

Li Shimin readily agreed to this small matter. In his opinion, once the experiment was successful, it would be much faster for the imperial court to mobilize money and food from various places. Whether it was mobilizing money from other places to the capital or from the capital to various places, it was actually very simple. thing.

Although Li Xiang still wants to help pay the salaries of all officials, he also knows that he cannot be greedy for credit and rush forward. He must go step by step. In the future, the final state of the development of this bank will be the Federal Reserve of the United States...

Li Xiang finally left, and the three gentlemen breathed a sigh of relief for some reason. What would have happened if Li Xiang had not been given the position of grandson of the emperor just now?

"Auxiliary machine, what do you have to say?"

Li Shimin saw that Changsun Wuji had not spoken. During this period, there were also rumors outside that Changsun Wuji had got into Li Xiang's car. Could it be that it was for this reason that he no longer assisted him?If this is the case, then Changsun Wuji cannot be allowed to stay in this position. Li Shimin originally trusted Changsun Wuji extremely much. That is because although Changsun Wuji took sides among all his sons, he never forgot his brother-in-law.

But what do you mean by not saying anything now?Have you started helping your nephew?

"Your Majesty, I have another concern. If all the money of the Tang Dynasty goes to the treasure line, it means that they have control of the official money transfer of the Tang Dynasty, so it is better to think about it in the long term."

After Changsun Wuji said these words, Li Shimin breathed a sigh of relief. He originally thought that Changsun Wuji and he were no longer of the same mind, so he had to change when it was time to change. It doesn't matter how much credit you had in the past, as long as you have no influence on our rule now. Advantages, then you cannot be in this position, but what Changsun Wuji said shows that he is still on his side.

"Weichen believes that there is no such worry. We are still responsible for collecting taxes and disbursing money. They are only responsible for the intermediary transportation task, so as long as it can be paid within a short period of time, the money will still be in our hands. There’s nothing he can’t control.”

Fang Xuanling figured out all the links in between. Although what Changsun Wuji said has some truth, as long as we withdraw money from another place as quickly as possible, then the money has little to do with Zhizhidaobao. , the relationship only lasted for a few days at most, and had little impact on the entire Tang Dynasty.

Li Shimin also smiled and nodded. Today, he named an imperial grandson, but he also saved Datang hundreds of thousands of dollars every year...
