Chapter 882: The Dusty Station of the Pearl (Part II)
"Two months! You two are really greedy, and you know what the consequences will be if something goes wrong. Li Shimin couldn't help but feel palpitations, and was amazed by the audacity of the two, the two weak-crowned people actually took advantage of his travels to reform the court department, and even did it.
"Since Weichen has made a move, he is naturally fully sure of success!" Merton said proudly.
Li Shimin's face improved at this time, and he said coldly: "Fortunately, it was successful, otherwise would you still be able to stand and talk to me?" Do you know how hard it will be if there is the slightest mistake? ”
Li Chengqian can be said to be very attentive to Li Chengqian, not only teaching him personally, but also expecting him quite highly.
Foot disease may not be a big blow to ordinary people, but for a prince, it is earth-shattering news, since the Tang Dynasty, there has not been a disabled person in the world to ascend the throne as an emperor.
Fortunately, Li Chengqian met Merton, and skillfully used the mystery of shoes to solve Li Chengqian's walking problem, which made Li Chengqian's psychology gradually change, which is also the reason why Li Chengqian is eager to make meritorious contributions, he urgently needs a merit to prove that he is still a qualified prince, and he can become a wise emperor in the future.
"In this way, it is true that the reform of the post station is beneficial to the country and the people, but you compare the post station with the six departments of the court, I am afraid it is a bit exaggerated!" Li Shimin waved his hand.
Merton laughed and said: "No, the post station is like a burden in the court, and in the eyes of the kid, it can be described as a priceless treasure, and its role is comparable to the six departments is not an exaggeration. ”
"Tell me, if the truth is true, I will let you go this time, if you make it up, you will wait to be beaten!" Li Shimin even coaxed and intimidated Merton.
Here it is again! Merton couldn't help but roll his eyes.
"Your Majesty knows that since the establishment of the Mojia Village Bank, it has gathered millions of dollars in a short period of time, which has aroused the covetousness of countless people, especially the Ziqian family." Merton said solemnly.
Li Shimin nodded and said: "Yes, then Wu Yuan Qingzhen has already exiled him to Zhenzhou, and he will not be pardoned." ”
Merton continued: "However, although Wu Yuanqing has subdued the law, the Ziqian family still does not give up, and now the Ziqian family has begun to unite to jointly operate the flying money business, save money in one place, and you can withdraw money anywhere in Datang, but its fees are too high, and it is worth ten hundred draws." ”
"It's worth 100 draws, the Ziqian family is really greedy!" Li Shimin couldn't help but be surprised, you must know that the bill of exchange business in Mojia Village is only worth one hundred, and the Ziqian family has increased tenfold at once, in this regard, Mo Dun is not surprised, this is in line with the greedy nature of the Ziqian family.
"Mojia Village Bank is only five cities, Ziqian's money is all over the Tang Dynasty, and the flying money business is all over the world, a unique business! Even the merchants dare to be angry and dare not speak. Merton talked about hand.
Li Shimin nodded, but said undeniably: "Having said that, what does this have to do with the post station?" ”
Merton laughed and said: "Everyone in the world envies the Mojia Village Bank, and the Ziqian family's money is all over the world, but I didn't find that there is a department that is a combination of the Ziqian family bank and the Mojia Village bank. ”
"Station!" Li Shimin was shocked, and his eyes suddenly sharpened, as if an eagle had caught the trail of its prey.
Merton said proudly: "Yes, the success of the Mojia Village Bank is based on the credibility of the Mo family, plus the 300,000 yuan sent to the inner treasury of the palace as a guarantee, before it succeeds, and the Ziqian family relies on the money villages all over the Tang Dynasty as the basis, but in terms of reputation, the post station is directly under the court, which is more than the reputation of the Mo family; In terms of channels, the post stations are all over the Tang Dynasty, and they are better than the Ziqian family.
The post station can become a collection of banks and money houses with a little transformation, and collect the wealth of the world in the hands of the imperial court, when the time comes, not to mention millions of runs, it is not impossible to be ten thousand, with this huge wealth in hand, how can the court still be troubled by the lack of money, try to ask such a department, in charge of the flow of money in the world, pay taxes for the turnover of the court, gain insight into the economy of the world, gather huge wealth for the court, whether it can have a place in the court. ”
"Whew!"
Li Shimin's breath suddenly stagnated, and even Morton on the side could hear how excited Li Shimin was at this moment.
Under the impetus of Merton, there are too many places where the court needs to spend money, and it seems that there is no end, and the crisis of the court's lack of money is increasing day by day, but who would have thought that the solution to the crisis of the lack of money in the Tang Dynasty would be a post station that costs countless money in the court, and the success of the Mojia Village Bank and the opening of the Ziqian family's flying money business have happened to prove the feasibility of the post bank.
The most terrifying thing about the "post station" in later generations is not its market value, but the large scale of his outlets, covering a wide area, all over the country's towns and villages, if your hometown is in the countryside, no matter where you live and work, you can not have any bank card, but only can not have a "post station".
After a long time, Li Shimin regained his composure, glanced at Merton deeply and said: "Everyone in the world says that your Mo family is a catfish, with sharp teeth and sharp mouth, the Ziqian family just put you together, but you cut off the back road of the Ziqian family." ”
It is conceivable that once the post station opens banking business, it is naturally impossible to be as greedy as the Ziqian family, and it can only be the same as Mojia Village, which is worth one for nothing.
As a result, the flying money business that the Ziqian family spent a lot of money to build may be immediately paralyzed, and its credit will be lost.
In later generations, the flying money business of the Qian family of the Tang Dynasty was too ruthless, and as a result, it was boycotted by businessmen, and even if the price continued to be reduced, few people used it.
"Weichen only knows that it is convenient for others and for himself, and the Ziqian family's move is just killing chickens and eggs, and sooner or later they will kill themselves." Merton sneered, the Ziqian family held its own channels and acted recklessly, this is just a move to bring about its own destruction.
Of course, Merton's move is also selfish, Mojia Village Bank is simply a cornucopia, naturally it has long been targeted by the imperial court, according to this, even Merton may not be able to keep Mojia Village Bank, if the post bank can be established, just transfer the pressure of Mojia Village Bank, so that Mojia Village Bank can have the possibility of preservation.
Li Shimin pondered for a long time, and couldn't help sighing: "The weight of the post station, I actually ignored it, it's really blind!" ”
"Your Majesty is serious." Merton arched.
Li Shimin waved his hand and said: "The matter of the post station still needs to be discussed in the long run, and now the Ziqian family has just surfaced, and it is not time to close the net, and since the reform of the post station is done by the prince alone, then I am ready to hand it over to the prince at this time." ”
Merton couldn't help but glance at Li Shimin, but he didn't expect Li Shimin to have such good intentions for Li Chengqian, since Li Chengqian wanted to make meritorious contributions, Li Shimin actually waited for Li Chengqian for this merit.
But Merton didn't know that Li Chengqian was the biggest atonement in Li Shimin's heart, and he was unwilling to let Li Yuan grow up, so he directly launched the Xuanwumen Rebellion, killed his brother and imprisoned his father and ascended the throne as emperor.
And now he is supporting Li Chengqian as the crown prince, which is to also adhere to the primogeniture inheritance system, and also to make up for the guilt of the Xuanwumen change.
"Your Majesty's love for his son touched Weichen." Merton sighed. I hope that Li Chengqian in this life will stop doing stupid things and don't let Li Shimin's hard work go to waste.
