Early Tang Dynasty Concubine

Chapter 231

"Actually, this matter is just borrowing money. What do you call borrowing money? That's called national debt! It's my Tang Empire that manages their borrowing money. What are they doing borrowing money? Relief victims, of course, if there is any leftover, you can fight small battles Yes. Let’s give them interest every year, for example, if you borrow [-] guan, you will get [-] guan of interest every year! We can give them some interest every year first!”

"Hehe! It's easy for you to say, what if they don't borrow it? You must know that those businessmen can't afford it without profit. The interest of [-] guan is indeed a bit tempting, but for a businessman, [-] guan can definitely earn back a year." The interest of fifty guans! And the merchants don't trust the officials very much!" Li Shimin said with a smile.It's not that he hasn't dealt with businessmen before.

Back then, when Dayuan raised troops, even if their Li family was rich, they couldn’t afford the rebellious money, so they also tried to make a businessman’s idea. Think about Chai Shao, he gave all the property to himself. It's Li Xiuning, one is the current title, a businessman will always be a businessman, and now he is the first-class Duke of the Tang Dynasty!This is different.

"Your Majesty, why are you so stubborn? A few brands and a promise are all you need! What a big deal, let me tell you this, how much money you want, we will help you get it right then, as long as you According to my request, if I tell you like this, Datang will definitely not suffer!"

Hearing Cheng Churui's assurance, Li Shimin now absolutely believes that this guy has this ability, but he is still a little upset in his heart, he just wants to embarrass this kid, and it makes him feel uncomfortable to see him pissed off!

"It's easy for you to say, tell me about the plan first, I really want to hear, what kind of brand is so valuable, what kind of promise will not let Datang suffer, boy! Now is the prelude to you, tell me Bar!"

This girl's face changed so quickly, just now you two were kind, this is the prelude to you!Got it!Standing up and saluting, he said: "Your Majesty, my idea is very simple. You can make me a batch of high-quality brands. As for the materials, you can decide, gold, silver, copper, iron and jade will do. First, 100 yuan.

Let me check with you first. These brands should have your seal, on which are written four big characters "Heirloom of Rende".

The next step is to negotiate with those businessmen. Those who borrow [-] yuan will get a picture of your writing. As for what to write on it, it is up to you. You can ask for [-] pictures, so don’t write too many words.

Add [-] Guan to get a brand!One hundred thousand people get one brand. The merchant can choose a unicorn from the family to participate in the imperial examination, which is valid for life!Think about it, if you were a businessman, would you agree to my condition? "

After listening to Cheng Churui's words, Li Shimin thought about it for himself, and he found that it seems really possible, no matter which one is released, it is a family heirloom, those are not bad for money, what is the difference?What's worse is this honor, and you can participate in the imperial examination. How tempting is this for businessmen?It is conceivable!

"If they still don't agree, I'll add another sentence, the sons who take part in the scientific examination will get one more point than the candidates in the same field! If no one lends us money like this, then I really don't believe it. It’s not about asking them to donate, they don’t suffer a loss, they have national papers, and they don’t want to be happy to donate. I will only release 70 yuan, and I will let the other 30 yuan be hyped and secretly traded. ! Think about it, that money..."

Li Shimin's eyes are crazy now, with so much money, is he afraid that the relief for the victims will not be enough?Just kidding, according to this kid, when the time comes for disaster relief, it is estimated that the river and road will be repaired, and I can still have money left to fight the war.This is a matter of gaining more in one fell swoop, such a difficult matter, and an almost unsolvable matter, let this kid solve it?

In the past few days, he and his ministers have been anxious about the severe drought every day, and now it is resolved in this way. There may be some imperfections in between, so it doesn't matter, it is not a problem with him and his capable ministers , As for the matter of repaying the money, there is this kid, who can make a few deals and pay it back in a year or two!

"Then what if the money is not paid?" Li Shimin still wanted to make things difficult for this kid, and let this kid bear the consequences by himself, which would be more fulfilling!
"My lord, the businessman I sent has already gone to Xue Yantuo, there is a lot of money there, okay! Even if you can't quench your thirst at a long distance, aren't you fighting a war? I don't understand, people fight more and more Rich, how come we are getting poorer and poorer! Your Majesty, can you explain to me?"

"Boy, let me teach you how to be a good boy. Wars are not what you appear to be. After you think about it, after the war, the heroes will be rewarded, and the soldiers will be compensated. Otherwise, everyone's hearts will be chilled in the future. This is a big expense in the first place. After that, there is the issue of prisoners of war. They cannot be killed, and it is another cost to deal with the prisoners. Finally, they have to appease the defeated country, which is another cost..."

"What, Your Majesty... I'm sorry to interrupt you, but we are the winning country, right? We didn't lose, right?" Cheng Churui asked so uncertainly that he even interrupted Li Shimin's words.

"Fee me, is my Tang cavalry so easy to lose?" Li Shimin said angrily.

"But why do I feel that we are a defeated country? Because the things you do are not only rewarding heroes, but also what a defeated country should do. I said that the Chinese nation is getting poorer and poorer, and other people are getting richer and richer! Who proposed these methods? Wouldn’t they be proposed by those who know you too?”

Li Shimin also felt that Cheng Churui asked a very good question, why did the more he fought after winning, the more money he lost?What is the source of this?In fact, Li Shimin himself didn't know it.

"Ah!" Cheng Churui sighed deeply and said, "My Majesty, I am really convinced! It is true that scholars are wronging the country. The benevolence and righteousness of these guys are fucking useless Barbarians. Now I also understand why the more barbaric the place, the happier I live, because there are no such people!"

Cheng Churui said this too much, but it has to be said that every empire was destroyed because of these scholars. If they can't fight wars, they will play tricks, and they can't lose any of them when sharing benefits.He is full of benevolence, righteousness and morality, what the hell is that?

"What you said is a bit extreme. I know you don't like scholars, and your personality is also biased towards them, but I really don't agree with you when you say that this scholar is wronging the country. If the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty are like your father, Even if I think about it, my Great Tang will not be able to continue to exist."

Look at you comparing yourself to this person, to my father, are you kidding me?
