After Zhang Xiaobao had finished speaking, everyone stopped asking. Li Longji nodded slightly and started to eat.
Others also followed to eat, or wait for the emperor to finish eating, this meal is also finished, you can't let the emperor wait to eat it yourself.
Xiaobei’s gang of little guys don’t take part in the affairs of adults. They are eating hard when others are talking. They are already full and ran to play elsewhere. After playing, they have to go back to do their homework. Consolidate what you learned in the morning, and listen to the story tomorrow so that you can keep up with the rhythm.
If everyone didn't speak, it didn't mean that they didn't want this thing in their hearts. Old Man Bi had been with Wang Wang's family for the longest time, and he had more contact with other people.
He always felt that Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan had worked hard to come up with a plan. It took so long, and they didn't dare to open the bank all over the place right away. It would definitely not be as simple as replacing silk and copper coins.
Although this new currency is indeed a great event, it depends on who came up with it. Now there are flying money used in large transactions, all relying on the credit of the merchants, if only this is the case. , Zhang Xiaobao is not Zhang Xiaobao.
"Does this currency have a greater role? Can it be more helpful to Datang?" Old Man Bi took a few bites and thought while chewing.
The old man Yao next to him also said that he is also working hard on this question, what is the difference between this currency and the previous copper coins and silk.
It looks the same, it is nothing more than a replacement, and the loss of the silk itself disappears, but I always feel that something is wrong.
After a meal was finished in such an atmosphere, just after people packed up their things and replaced them with tea, Zhang said that he was not busy returning to his cabin to deal with official duties, but asked Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan:
"Xiaobao, Juanjuan, are there other benefits of replacing copper coins and silk with banknotes? If that's the case, copper coins can't be replaced, they can be devalued, so that others will see that there is no profit. "
When Zhang Shuo asked, his eyes were fixed on Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan, fearing that the two would not answer. Who would have allowed himself to conflict with the two of them.
Zhang Xiaobao has not been careful to this level. Political conflicts, as long as they do not affect people's livelihood and are not a direct attack on the person, that is normal. A country with only one voice is not that good, and it is easy to go wrong.
Hearing Zhang talking, and seeing the people around him, Zhang Xiaobao had seen everyone once and motioned to his godfather. Gao Lishi quickly pushed the palace maid, eunuch, and protective guard aside.
Seeing Zhang Xiaobao being so cautious, Li Longji and others couldn't help but also became nervous. What kind of danger was that Zhang Xiaobao could not tolerate even a court lady and eunuch.
After taking a closer look at the people, he felt that it was okay. Then Zhang Xiaobao said, "Master Zhang asked well. This matter is not just a question of replacement. The first one is to make copper and silk change from currency to life. Need resources, the value of silk will be reduced.
By doing this, the people will be able to have more clothes to wear and more utensils to use to meet the material needs of the people of Datang. This is a very important thing, can Master Zhang admit it? "
Zhang said nodded in agreement.
Zhang Xiaobao went on to teach everyone, "In fact, it is to make people accustomed to using banknotes. Of course, if small banknotes are easily damaged due to circulation, they can be stamped with iron when the steam press is made, so as to reduce currency recovery.
Just like silk, if it is worn to a certain extent, the court will collect it back by taxation, and will not release it. The stamped money, if there is no stamping machine and only hand-made, it is very laborious and can be made in one day. The fake money is less than what a craftsman can earn from a normal work, so that no one will have nothing to do with fake money.
One of the advantages of accustomed to using paper currency is that it is convenient to carry, and the other is that it is very convenient to deposit and withdraw at the bank. People are willing to use currency to buy various items instead of changing things for things. The court saves a lot in tax management. Does Mr. Zhang agree with the matter? "
"Yes." Zhang said and nodded and admitted. Indeed, if all transactions use the same paper currency, tax management will be easier. After all, when buying and selling, some people use two catties of eggs to buy salt from merchants, and the court has to collect them. A few eggs are taxed.
If you don’t pay for it, you can only collect money from the merchant. A salt seller not only needs to sell salt, but also needs to sell other things. This is the case now. It is really messy, and the price of eggs is not always the same. Today Two eggs for a penny, tomorrow may be five eggs for two penny.
Therefore, local taxation is also very unstable, and there are more and less, and it is difficult to control.
Others also agreed. Zhang Jiuling asked next to him at this moment: "Is there anything else besides this? If this is feasible, Xiaobao, you guys have done a great job."
"Then I have to talk about the bank. Banknotes have appeared, and transactions are convenient, but there must be corresponding institutions to help save them. For example, for trading, it needs 10,000 coins. Then the largest banknote is 100 coins, which is very easy. If it is lost, it can be saved and stored in a bank.
In the early stage, the bank continued to save silk and copper coins, and at the same time, it was responsible for the exchange of gold and silver. When it came to the later stage, it was more than that. The early stage bank still had to charge a certain amount of money as a storage fee. Any custody fee is charged, and one hundred sticks are deposited, and one hundred sticks are also used when picking up. "
This time it was not Zhang Xiaobao who was speaking, but Wang Juan, speaking to the crowd about the things she had discussed with Zhang Xiaobao.
After hearing this, everyone can’t ask right away. It needs a process of understanding. After thinking for a while, no matter what they think, they can’t figure out why Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan do not charge any fees for opening the bank. Are they just doing good deeds
There are also places dedicated to exchanging copper coins, but a sum of money is collected during the exchange.
With such doubts, Yu Wenrong, who came over, also asked questions.
"If you do this as you said, don't you lose it? Even a pawnshop will have to keep the price down."
"Now they are responsible for the exchange place. In fact, even if they don’t charge any money, they don’t compensate, because they use part of the money to do other business. This is to borrow other people’s money to do business. They only need to worry about not losing money. Yes, there is a very general calculation method.
After the deposits and withdrawals are stable, some of the money will never be withdrawn. Unless there is a currency crisis and someone runs on, then this part of the money will be used by the bank, and the bank can directly use it for trading, or it can Lend to others with interest.
This is what we are going to talk about later. Later, the person who saves not only does not need to spend any storage fees, but also gets the profit of the bank, but the profit is less than the profit borrowed. Many, because banks need to take risks if they borrow out. "
Zhang Xiaobao explained the advantages of the bank.
The people around have widened eyes and slightly opened mouths.
"Doesn't it mean that you opened a bank, and a lot of money will go to you?" Yu Wenrong asked again.
"Yes, that's naturally the case. Otherwise, it's self-interested by who opens some bank. The big deal is that when a state-owned bank will be established, the court will also make some money. There are also things that are beneficial to Datang, which can be affected by adjusting reserves and interest rates. Don’s value the goods.
For example, if my reserve fund is 40% and I have 2 million guanxis, then this year I can loan 1.2 million guanxis. Then some of the 1.2 million guanxis are used for investment and some are used. When I came to buy things, Datang suddenly added 1.2 million more.
The value of things will inevitably rise. If 1.2 million Guans think it has little effect on the entire Datang, what about 12 million Guans? In this way, prices rise and can be controlled, so how can prices come down? One is to increase the interest on loans so that people can borrow less, but this also has disadvantages. It may not really bring down prices. One is that the profit of the bank will be less. , The other is that the borrower will transfer this part to the commodity, or let the commodity increase in price.
Therefore, the interest rate on deposits must be increased accordingly at this time, otherwise, the inflation will be too fast, that is, the currency in circulation is worthless. "
Wang Juan explained a little more.
As before, everyone thought silently again.
This time it was Li Longji who asked himself: “Looking at it this way, people who save money will have more money in the end, and people who borrow money will let the bank have more money, but in fact copper money and silk money that should have been used as currency Doesn’t it mean that money is becoming less and less valuable and still swelling.”
Zhang Xiaobao nodded: "Your Majesty Shengming, it is true, but this expansion is the expansion of the entire Datang, and no one has lost anything, and it has also accelerated economic development. The value created is definitely more cost-effective than the danger of currency inflation. If you don't make mistakes , The whole is the same."
Li Longji nodded, thinking it was true.
Zhang Xiaobao went on to say: "There is another great benefit of issuing national debt, which means borrowing money from the private sector. At that time, the interest rate will be higher than normal deposits. The country will have the money to do other things. Wait until time, such as Say three years, or five years, then return the money to the people, plus interest."
"What if the country loses money when it does things with the money? For example, in infrastructure construction, nothing can be profitable." Li Longji kept up a little bit.
"Infrastructure construction has never been compensated. When there is a direct monetary loss, there will be compensation in tax. As for the loss of the investment, it does not matter. Borrow it again and use the borrowed money to return to the people, and continue to increase interest, as long as it is The interest rate is higher than that of bank deposits, and the people are willing to lend out the money.
Your Majesty, you said just now that currency is always swelling, and if you keep relying on it, the money in the hands of the people may not be worth the original value.
If it is only developed in this way, some people may feel that they have always owed money to people, and something will happen someday. This is why I need so many craftsmen and Juanjuan. We can make better use of resources. Now we produce four stones per mu. Grain, with continuous research, it is possible to produce ten shi per mu.
This will inevitably cause the depreciation of food. As long as technology can keep up, the depreciation of currency is actually the depreciation of goods. The final result is a balance, that is, by increasing productivity, the depreciation of the increase in the number of goods will offset the depreciation of the currency. . "
Zhang Xiaobao had to say more, although it was not easy for people to understand.
Continuing the cycle of silence, waiting for the tea to be changed again, Zhang said, figured it out, and said: "In other words, as long as it is a non-physical currency, it must face a depreciation situation. If you want nothing wrong, you have to work hard to develop you. The productivity mentioned is to increase the output of the land and make better things.
But one day it will reach a certain level, right? For example, if the coal has been dug out, the raging fire oil has gone, and all kinds of mines have been dug out, what about our children and grandchildren? "
"When that day comes, naturally there will be more ways. We don’t have any here. There may be still on the moon, on the stars, oh, the ones on the stars are not good. Let’s talk about what’s in front of us. Other countries, such as Xinyuan Island, such as Japan, such as Silla."
Zhang Xiaobao feels that Zhang said that this is still not good, because Zhang said that he could not think that one day people can run to the moon casually, waiting for the resources to be consumed, the technology will be more advanced, and it can expand abroad, not to mention no matter what resources are being consumed. The balance is maintained in the process.
In other words, there are no non-renewable resources at all. The so-called non-renewable is because the technology is not up to that level. Otherwise, it is the black hole created by the explosion of a star. Why does everything get there only in the form of mass? Existence means that any material can be transformed into each other.
Black holes can also produce new stars. This is the process of exchange. I believe that technology will reach that day.
When things have reached this point, everyone feels that there is nothing to ask. They can only wait to see Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan open the bank and see if it is what they said.
Li Yu also proposed to go to Changning County in due course.
Li Longji really wants to see what Changning County has become. If Li Yu didn't say that Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan had given ideas to do things there, Li Longji would really not go.
But as long as Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan are involved, Li Longji can't help it. He just wants to see it with his own eyes and see if Changning County really becomes prosperous. If that is the case, it means that Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan are both The individual has to be well protected.
Because the two of them are more valuable than hundreds of officials, they can make a place prosper with random shots. There is nothing to worry about in Datang, not to mention that Wang Juan can still fight.
Li Longji is dispatched. Naturally, the person to protect cannot be Li Yu and his manpower. Jin Wuwei needs to follow, and other guards are also indispensable. In order to protect Li Longji, Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan also transferred the people from the zero team. Thirty people.
The two of them are even more fully armed with Li Longji's side. People who don’t know think that Li Longji is close to the two of them, because no matter how old they are, they still can’t let people see their maturity. They are all children, Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan still have the yellow hair on their lips.
Who would have thought that two children like this would have a very strong combat effectiveness, not only can they cooperate with Li Longji's personal guard, but also command.
Li Longji thought the same way. The two children followed, which could numb people.
The old man Bi and three of them will also go along. They are responsible for looking after Xiaobei's gang, and they also have a lot of guards.
When Li Longji got off the ship, the officials here thought he was going to the state capital. They were both happy and worried. He was pleased that the emperor must be very good when he got on board. It would improve his reputation and let the emperor see himself and others.
What worries him is that he didn't make any preparations. In case something went wrong, let alone being praised by the emperor, it is hard to say whether his head can stay stable on his neck.
But the result disappointed them, and a little fortunate, the emperor did not plan to go to Linfen, but to the nearby Changning County.
The team left in a mighty manner, and the businessmen watched curiously. Some merchants who came to take advantage of not collecting taxes and wanted to take advantage of it. Seeing the flag of the fleet, they immediately knew who was coming. They were nervous and excited. , The people who watched the fleet with curiosity showed their erudition, telling them that they were traveling on the current sage.
After knowing this, the people were all stupid. The emperor was going out. It should have been cleared away from the surrounding people early. Why is the emperor coming over when he is still doing business on his own side? Isn't he afraid of encountering danger
When thinking of this, the people suddenly felt moved. The emperor had no clean people. This shows that the emperor believed in the people here, in himself and others.
How did Li Longji know that Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan would receive such popular support. Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan deliberately. At this time, there are no missiles, let alone sniper rifles. Who can harm the people on the ship, it is better to let the people? Know how much the emperor trusted them.
If it were replaced by someone else, it would have been cleaned up long ago.
Li Yu deliberately prepared a car for Li Longji that he felt was very luxurious. As a result, Li Longji didn't get in his car at all. Instead, he got in the car prepared by Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan. Such a car is comfortable.
In order to allow Li Longji to gain more and more sincere people's hearts, Zhang Xiaobao removed the hood of the car and turned it into an open shed. Li Longji can easily see the outside scenery, and the people outside can also vaguely know where the emperor is.
Of course, there are a lot of plainclothes among the people, especially those who are not like the people of Datang. The people of Datang are still very loyal, and no one wants to kill Li Longji.
Li Yu was sweating profusely, always worried about the sudden emergence of danger, followed by Li Longji, approached Zhang Xiaobao, and said, "Xiaobao, are you trying to kill me? If uncle is scared ,what should I do?"
"How can you be frightened? What's more, your Majesty will not be frightened if something unexpected happens. Who is your Majesty, to rule the country, and the emperor of Anbang."
Zhang Xiaobao said in a loud voice.
Li Longji was very happy when he heard it, and he smiled and said to Li Yu: "Yuan'er don't be afraid, even if something really happens, it has nothing to do with you, besides, there is also a little treasure around me who is going to run the country and govern the country. And the cuckoo, you see, the people, how stable is it."
Li Longji was still holding a telescope in his hand. Looking around, none of the people moved forward.
I don’t know who is leading the head, shouting "Long live the emperor", and kneeling there, the people also yelled and knelt down, so that Li Longji's heart was more comfortable, and he waved to the people around him. , Even if people can't see it.
The speed of the team was not fast, and it was estimated that it would be dark in Changning County, and Li Yu was worried all the way.
The first three people led Xiaobei and the others, telling Xiaobei and the others about this side from time to time.
As he was walking, Zhang said that he came over and said to Old Man Bi, "Master Bi, I will think about the money house that Xiaobao said later?"
"Oh? What else is there to say? Didn't the question have already been asked?" Old Man Bi wondered.
"No, I suddenly thought of another thing, that is, many of the surrounding countries use our money. If the bank opens and new banknotes come out, if other countries change a lot, then suddenly Come over to buy our things, and our prices have risen all at once.
As prices rise, money will naturally depreciate, so what can we do? Don’t you still sell things to others, such as Tubo, they use their things to exchange money for our side, and then let people release the news that our money is not worth it, so we should use copper coins to collect money. copper.
Then we used copper to make our Kaiyuan Tongbao, exchanged a lot of paper money, and continued to buy things with paper money. Wouldn’t it be messy? Now it is estimated that many people can think of this method, and Zhang Xiaobao is blamed for playing games. To teach others other skills. "
Zhang Shuo said nervously. The complaint in the words was very obvious. He wanted to tell Li Longji, but Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan were over there, so he found Old Man Bi and wanted to tell the matter through Old Man Bi’s mouth. To the emperor.
Old Man Bi listened to what Zhang said, and looked at his expression. After he finished speaking, he said, "This is what you said too. I will ask your Majesty to mention it later, but I don't think I need to worry, Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan will deal with it. Good thing like this."
How could Old Man Bi didn't know what Zhang said, but he still agreed. After all, he couldn't figure out what to do in such a situation.
After the team left Linfen County and actually entered Changning County, the scenery Li Longji saw immediately changed. The most intuitive thing was that a broad road stretched forward, nodded, and asked Li Yu:
"But to pick me up, specially repaired?"
"No, this road is also going to be repaired, but if you come, I will repair it first. This can be the same as Linfen County, and there is another Fenshui River over there. The road is convenient for transportation."
Li Yu answered honestly.
Li Longji knew that it was actually because of himself, but after all, this road was a problem of repairing first, so he asked: "But it disrupted your layout in Changning County?"
"No, it didn't mess up at all. When you move forward, you will know that a workshop for processing willow and bamboo will be built here. Things from Linfen County can be processed more quickly, and Linfen can be processed faster. People who can't find odd jobs have one more place to do their jobs."
Li Yu continued to reply.
"That's fine, since Xiaobao has given you an idea, you have to follow that method to do things safely." Li Longji said with satisfaction.
"Yes, my nephew must do it well." Li Yu replied respectfully.
Old Man Bi also came over at this moment and told Li Longji what Zhang said just now.
Li Longji turned to look at Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan.
Zhang Xiaobao sighed. He wanted to take a break, but now there is a problem again.
"Your Majesty, the minister and Wang Juan have considered this matter for a long time, and they are afraid that they will use our money better. At that time, we will stipulate that only our money can buy our things, if our things are better than theirs. , They will transport their goods here for sale.
Tubo is just a little bit bigger, and there is no impact at all. Even when they have no money, we can sell them national debt and let them exchange resources for it. It is also possible to use land lease. Anyway, it is my Datang coin. Must be popular in the surrounding countries.
Let them use no money from anywhere except Datang’s money. They don’t even have money in their own country. If a country’s money is controlled by another country, what will your Majesty say? "
Zhang Xiaobao really can't understand, don't people at this time still have any insights in this area
"Understand, the consequence is that if the two countries use the same money, if we don't give them money, they will have trouble in their daily lives." This time it was not Li Longji, but Li Yu.
Wang Juan also said: "Why don't you give them money? We print a lot of money here and go to them to buy things, buy all their things, and then we will sell things to them at high prices. Do you understand? Especially with regard to national debt.
As long as our productivity develops faster than them, our ability to withstand financial fluctuations will be stronger. Even if they depreciate at the same time, their country will suffer greater losses. The more they buy our national debt, the more they will lose. Many, when we use good technology to sell them at high prices, this is a kind of plunder. "
Li Yu nodded her head as if she knew how to do it, pondered for a moment, and then asked: "Then what if they also have their own money? Are we going to exchange money with them?"
"Of course, it must be exchanged." Zhang Xiaobao said.
"Then what do they do if they print money at will?" Li Yu asked again.
"It turns out that they had five copper coins and exchanged one of us for one copper coin. They printed more coins for ten coins, and exchanged one of us for one coin. Can you understand that? If they really dare to do that, Then they will be finished, in fact, even if they can’t do that, they will be finished. As long as I and Juanjuan open the bank, no matter what they do.”
Zhang Xiaobao is very much looking forward to the arrival of that time. He will be able to display his own ability, and he does not need to exercise restraint and restraint like he does now.
Li Longji was also listening. He heard Zhang Xiaobao say this and asked: "Xiaobao, you mean that once you open a bank and make banknotes or something similar, you can do something to the surrounding countries? What effect?"
Wang Juan replied: "It can make a country completely collapse, make its people without popular support, and make its army without morale."
"So amazing?" Li Yu was surprised.
"Well, we must open the bank as soon as possible. I will wait for that day, and then send troops to fight." Li Longji believed what Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan said.
Wang Juan said again: "Your Majesty, you will not send troops to fight at that time, but you will be defensive. The opponent will definitely fight over. This is a way to shift internal contradictions. Wars will really be over if they don’t fight. There is still a chance to fight, as long as you hold it, it doesn't take too long, two years, they will be over.
If Little Treasure used some more methods at that time, maybe it would take less than two years to split them up in one year, and then they would not have to send troops, and they would be able to take up the place with economic means. "
"Yes, you can buy land from them at that time. If their people have no land, they will leave their own country and go to another country. We will send people to rectify, and they will be the people of Datang from now on." Zhang Xiaobao Then he said.
Li Longji was stunned for a moment, and when he looked at Zhang Xiaobao, he suddenly felt that he had met Zhang Xiaobao for the first time. He had never heard of such a thing. This is the real way to defeat people without a fight. The economic means are so powerful.
Old Man Bi also wiped his sweat, turned around and went back to talk to Zhang.
When I saw Zhang said that he was waiting, Old Man Bi said directly: "Master Zhang is worried, Xiaobao and Juanjuan's ability is not something I can predict. What I'm worried about is that of Xiaobao and Juanjuan. Killer."
…
The team continued to advance, and the surrounding scenery got better and better, but Li Longji no longer had the desire to watch the scenery, and all he thought was what Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan said.
He didn't want to occupy more land all the time, but Datang could not continue to fight after the early wars, because there were not enough people, otherwise he would not cultivate and rejuvenate.
However, if you want to be able to occupy it only through economic means, as Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan said, why not do it
The more he thought about it, the harder it was for Li Longji to calm down. When the sky was getting dark, torches lit up around him. He couldn't help but said to Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan:
"Arrange the business of the bank immediately. You don’t need to wait later. You can prepare now. You can open it wherever you want. There are also craftsmen. You can choose whatever you want. You must quickly make money that cannot be imitated. People are responsible. If someone stops, you two can decide on your own. I just want to hear the result."
Li Longji is really crazy, no matter how much trouble Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan are planning to set up, they have given two people a lot of power. The meaning of the words couldn't be more clear.
That is, no matter who wants to take advantage of it, and prepares to stop it, Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan can kill people first.
Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan looked at each other. They were waiting for this moment. They finally got their power, but this power is not enough, and more effort is needed.
So Zhang Xiaobao said to Li Longji: "Your Majesty, the money house and making money are not that simple. It requires a lot of cooperation, and the minister doesn't know whom to report to then."
When Li Longji heard that he still had difficulty, he closed his eyes and thought about it, and said, "As long as it is something related to the bank and making money, you two should do it. Even if you need to use land from a certain place, you can take it directly. , Who to report to? Naturally, it was to me."
"That's it, the minister must have done things well. It will last for five years and three years less." Zhang Xiaobao, who was authorized, said happily.
Li Longji really wants to hear Zhang Xiaobao say three to five months, but he also knows how difficult it is. At least he doesn’t know how to do it now. Can afford to wait.
After entering the county and seeing countless lanterns and colorful flags, Li Longji put his mind on this trip again.
Let Li Yu take a look around and talk to the local officials. Seeing that it was getting late, he didn't continue to let Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan cook. Here Li Yu has arranged food.
In terms of food, Li Yu wanted to do more at the beginning, which was very rich at first sight. After contacting Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan, the two told him not to do that, don’t do too much, just There are only special features, the emperor can't eat too many things.
Li Yu, who trusted Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan, really did what the two said. Sure enough, Li Longji looked at the food that was not rich, but delicious, and praised Li Yu severely, saying that he knew it. Frugality, no waste, etc.
When night fell, Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan no longer needed to follow Li Longji around around. The two returned to their temporary yard here and told Beckham and the others a story before they freshened and lay on the couch.
The two people who hadn't slept on the couch for a long time were really uncomfortable and couldn't sleep for a while.
"Xiaobao, power is coming, what will we do next?" Wang Juan asked Zhang Xiaobao's arm and pillowed it.
The window was still open. There was a crescent moon outside. Zhang Xiaobao looked at the crescent moon and replied: "What else can you do? Let Luzhou speed up contact with the surrounding state capitals and tell them to follow the Luzhou model for construction. If you want to be fast, you can lend them a little money first, or we can invest directly.
But if we invest, they must exempt us from taxes for at least two years. The excuse is naturally to set up a bank there and not to thrive the local economy. How could there be so many businessmen willing to go there? If the merchant does not pass, the bank will be useless.
When the time comes, which official dare to stop, no matter who he is, he has all cleaned up. If you want to open the bank all over the Tang Dynasty, you must open the restaurant all over the Tang Dynasty first. Our business must keep up. Only in this way can we make money. Reduce the impact when faced with large cross-regional withdrawals. "
"Well, it's okay, then we have to hurry up. It's best to get other businessmen together, otherwise we can't do that with our financial resources. If we can get the local squire, it would be better. If they don’t have enough money at that time, they can use a portion of it to advance the payment."
Wang Juan added that both of them understood what the Zhang Wangs family would be like once this thing is done.
Zhang Xiaobao yawned, "Okay, when we are on the road tomorrow, we will arrange to take Li Xun with us, as well as other businessmen who cooperate with us, but they are not allowed to interfere with the money houses, only restaurants and supermarkets everywhere. You can let them follow."
…
"You followed them today, but what useful things did you hear?" In another place, Concubine Wu Hui did not accompany Li Longji. Li Longji was too excited and tired today, so he just took a rest.
Concubine Wu Hui approached the court lady who was arranged by Li Longji to ask about the daytime affairs. She would ask every few days to find opportunities to avenge Wang Juan, but she couldn't find any good opportunities.
A few days ago, I heard that Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan had to collect money for repairing the bridge. I thought it was an opportunity, but who knew that after Li Longji personally asked about it, when he came back to rest, he even praised Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan and said The two of them collected the money well.
After listening to it, Concubine Wu Hui understood why the emperor praised two people, because if he did that, the court could still charge an extra amount of money. Since he could get more money, it was strange that the emperor was unhappy, not to mention that he should continue to follow this method. It is estimated that Datang can indeed have many bridges and roads built.
Then I got another news that Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan were going to be the bank and were willing to build a bridge over the Yellow River.
In this respect, Concubine Wu Hui also felt that she could use it, because the bank was a place where the wealth of the world was collected, and she was still relatively smart, thinking that the bank could use other people's money for her own use, which was better than many others.
Today she heard that Zhang Xiaobao was talking about things while eating, and had driven away the palace maids and eunuchs. Even the guards who protected the emperor were not left behind. So she called a palace maid over and wanted to know what happened over there. Things, maybe you can find opportunities.
The maid did not hear at all. Seeing Concubine Wu Hui asked, she shook her head, and replied: "Manny, the maidservant was driven away and did not hear what they said, but the maid realized that the emperor was very happy after she had finished speaking. And Master Zhang and Master Yuwen are like this. Maybe something good should be?"
