"Your Majesty, with the financial resources of you and those noble families, how many concrete houses can you build and how many concrete roads can you pave?"
Li Xuan asked.
"this……"
Li Shimin was stunned.
Li Xuan chuckled lightly and said.
"But by borrowing money from the bank, His Majesty and a group of noble families used the money of the entire Tang Dynasty family and wealthy families to build cement houses and pave cement roads.
Finally, after the construction of cement houses is completed, those aristocratic families and wealthy households will spend their own money to purchase cement houses..."
"hiss……"
After understanding this, Li Shimin, Changsun Wuji and others couldn't help but widen their eyes and looked at Li Xuan with horror on their faces.
"According to what Xuan Ba said, wouldn't it be that I and a group of aristocratic families borrowed money from all the aristocratic families and wealthy households in the Tang Dynasty to build cement houses and cement roads.
Finally, these aristocratic families and wealthy households used their money to help me and other dignitaries from aristocratic families repay the money to themselves.
And during this process, I and a group of powerful people from aristocratic families not only did not use a penny of our own money, but also made a lot of money?"
"yes!"
Li Xuan nodded slightly, "Your Majesty also forgot one thing, that is, when building these cement houses and paving cement roads, how many people and craftsmen followed to make money?"
"Tens of thousands!"
Fang Xuanling said subconsciously.
"Xuanba is truly a genius!"
Li Shimin said with excitement on his face, "Xuanba is willing to join the court as an official. I will give you the position of Prime Minister of the Tang Dynasty and let you control the entire bank, Fang Jiansi, and Lu Jiansi!"
On the side, Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling and others also looked at Li Xuan expectantly.
"Don't go!"
Li Xuan shook his head firmly.
"Your Majesty, as long as the bank is established and manages so much money every day, countless people will definitely stretch their claws into it. I don't want to be idle every day, holding a knife and looking for those cysticercids!"
"Xuanba, don't worry. After the bank is established, I and a group of ministers will revise a law of the Tang Dynasty specifically for the bank!"
Li Shimin said solemnly, "Let those cystic worms not even think about stretching their claws."
"Don't go then either!"
Li Xuan shook his head again, "Your Majesty, the bank in Goguryeo has been established for a year now. Your Majesty can send someone to check the accounts. Perhaps, something can be found."
"Xuan Ba, does anyone really dare to be corrupt?" Li Shimin didn't believe it.
"Your Majesty, the sky is high and the emperor is far away. They only need to destroy the credentials of a few people at will, or even kill those people secretly, or collude with outsiders to take money from the bank.
In this way, if you can't straighten your body without realizing it, and with hundreds of thousands of dollars going in and out of the bank every day, how can your majesty know?"
As he spoke, Li Xuan subconsciously laughed at himself and said, "Of course, I haven't sent anyone to check these things. It's possible that I'm judging a gentleman's heart with a villain's heart!"
"Thank you Xuanba for reminding me!"
Li Shimin's eyes flashed with solemnity. He had never considered these things.
However, as the forest grows larger, there will be all kinds of birds.
He believed that Li Xuan was definitely not wrong in his guess.
Li Xuan nodded slightly, and then stood up without waiting for Li Shimin to speak.
"Your Majesty, the hot pot should be almost ready. I'll go to the dining hall first and chat while eating. The bank has many wonderful uses!"
"besides?"
Suddenly, Li Shimin looked interested again.
Afterwards, everyone followed Li Xuan and walked to the dining hall!
There were more people this time, so Li Chang prepared four large pots.
As for meat, food, and ale, the entire dining hall was filled.
After a meal, everyone was sweating profusely, but they were also satisfied.
During the meal, under constant questioning from Li Shimin, Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling and others, Li Xuan told Li Shimin and others about the various wonderful uses of the bank.
Even, in the end, he even talked about using banknotes instead of coins.
However, Li Shimin, Fang Xuanling and others were still concerned about the implementation of the currency and did not clearly express whether they would implement it.
Li Xuan was not too entangled in this regard.
Anyway, he is very satisfied with his current living situation.
After all, no matter how comfortable a life is, it cannot be produced by Datang's current industrial level!
After the meal, Li Shimin, Changsun Wuji and others asked Li Xuan again how to check the bank accounts before leaving.
Along the way, Li Shimin, Changsun Wuji and others all looked thoughtful.
Cheng Chusi, Li Chongyi and others were filled with joy.
Only Li Chengqian's eyes were dull.
This morning was the most magical morning he had ever had.
First, his wife gave the plan he had written to his father and a group of ministers for review, and then his wife suggested to his father that he, the prince, should leave the palace and find a county outside the capital to serve as a county.
make.
Moreover, he was encouraged by his master not to be afraid of his father. The most he could do was get a beating?
Being beaten by his father?
Think about it, Li Chengqian shook his head repeatedly, his father would not beat him, he would only teach him a severe lesson, and even worse, he would make the servants blame him!
Then, a few days later, he would go on a tour of the world on behalf of his father!
Now, I can finally escape the supervision of those sour concubines in the palace!
Thinking about it, Li Chengqian couldn't help but subconsciously grin, revealing a smile.
"I wonder what kind of happy event your Highness has encountered, and you are so happy?"
Suddenly, a curious voice sounded next to Li Chengqian's ears, and Li Chengqian was startled.
After taking a closer look, it turned out to be our own Crown Princess Su!
"When did Wan'er come?"
Li Chengqian chuckled lightly and asked.
"Your Highness made atonement. After Your Highness returned to the East Palace, I received the news and came over!" Su Wan quickly replied.
"That's because I was too absorbed in thinking!"
Li Chengqian smiled.
"What great event did your Highness encounter when he went to Jinwang Manor this time?" Su Wan asked again.
"What a happy event!"
Li Chengqian subconsciously looked around, and after he didn't find the figures that frightened him, he said cautiously: "In a few days, I will replace my father and go out of the palace to patrol the world!"
"Touring the world?"
Hearing this, Su Wan's expression changed slightly, and she was still a little depressed.
"Exactly!"
Li Chengqian nodded with joy on his face and was about to say something when he noticed the change in Su Wan's expression and couldn't help but chuckle.
"Don't worry Wan'er, you can come with me on this trip!"
"real?"
Su Wan suddenly looked at Li Chengqian with a happy face.
"Exactly!"
Li Chengqian nodded slowly and said, "My father agreed to this matter."
"However, you still need to keep this matter a secret and do not let outsiders know. Otherwise, if those masters know about it, they will definitely make trouble with my father!"
