Chapter 54: Crying Poor
"The Seven Great Families are not stupid, why did they obediently hand over the money to us?"
Li Er shook his head, feeling that Zhao Yin's idea was too unrealistic.
"What if we put money in our house? And what about saving and taking it as you go? ”
"How do you make money? And how to save and take it as you go? ”
Li Er listened more and more incomprehensibly.
"As long as the money that is not used at home is deposited in the bank, the money bank will pay them interest on a daily basis, and the money saved in the Chang'an money bank can be withdrawn in various places in Datang, as long as there is a money bank, which is not only convenient, but also earns interest, which businessman would not want to deposit the silver."
Seeing that Li Er still didn't understand, Zhao Yin continued to explain: "It's too inconvenient to carry copper coins now, especially for business people, it's inconvenient to carry so much money around, and if you don't do it, you will be remembered by thieves, but if you only bring a silver ticket on your body, it will be much more convenient." ”
"If we keep giving them interest, won't we pay for it?"
Li Er feels that this idea is indeed very convenient, but it is not profitable!
"No, father-in-law, you don't understand what I mean, we can use the money they have deposited to lend money, the interest rate is much higher than the interest we pay, and if we withdraw money from foreign banks, we can also charge a certain fee, so that the difference we earn in the middle is very considerable."
Zhao Yin moved out the modern social bank.
"That's a good idea! But...... This money bank has to be opened in your name, and the court cannot come forward. ”
Li Er was worried that the Seven Great Families would be antagonistic to the imperial court, which would be unfavorable to this money bank, so he wanted to open it in the name of Zhao Yin.
"It's an honor for my son-in-law to be able to share my father-in-law's worries."
He brought up this matter because he wanted to pull Li Er into the gang, but before he could mention it, Li Er said it himself.
After laying the groundwork in front of him, Zhao Yin finally entered the main topic of staying......
"Your Majesty, you see that my two great inventions are dedicated to you, should you reward me with something......
"And thou shalt give a reward? Just because of the bet you made just now, you have cheated 24,000 yuan on a few of them, and I have also decreed that Princess Changle will be married to you, do you still think this reward is not enough? I haven't pursued you for instigating the princess to make a false decree, and you still came to me for a reward, and you are sorry for what you said. ”
Li Er put his hands behind his back and smiled playfully.
Depend on.
It's really getting more and more picky.
I thought about slaughtering him with these curved plows and horseshoes, but I didn't catch anything.
Now that Li Er also knows the method of building, it is impossible to buy it by himself.
Isn't it good to build your own huge weapons prison?
"Okay, then if we want to open a money bank, we have to have capital, how much does this emperor plan to pay?"
Seeing that he couldn't squeeze any oil and water in this matter, he had to target the money bank.
If you can get a considerable amount of capital, then you can open the winery, bookstore, and paper workshop you want to open.
"Do you still need the capital......? How much does that need? Li Er asked in surprise.
Isn't the money bank for others to save money?
Why invest in it?
"Of course, it takes capital to open a bank, and the capital is much more than that of other industries, and it can't be opened without hundreds of thousands of yuan."
Zhao Yin knew that Li Er was stingy, but he didn't expect to be so stingy!
I want to do business, but I don't want to pay yet.
Empty gloves white wolf!
With such a good thing, everyone came out to open a bank.
"The Tang Dynasty has not yet stabilized, Goguryeo has frequently violated the border between China and North Korea, and now it is catching up with the spring drought, and the imperial court must purchase a large amount of disaster relief grain from the south of the Yangtze River......"
When Zhao Yin heard these words, his heart was half cold.
Come on!
This crying poor, it seems that today is a copper plate, don't even think about taking it away.
If Li Er doesn't pay for it, where will he get so much money.
Don't do it.
"So you have to figure out how to open a money bank, but I will definitely support you, in addition to money, if you need anything, you can ask me to mention it."
After going around in a big circle, Li Er threw the matter of raising money on his head again.
However, what Li Er said was the truth, in the third year of Zhenguan, there was a flood, and the people had no harvest.
In order to prevent turmoil, Li Er raised money in various ways and bought high-priced grain from some neighboring countries, and only then did he barely overcome this difficulty.
Later, in order to quell the harassment of some small countries at the border gates, a lot of manpower and material resources were spent, and this year's spring drought was just in time.
Where is there spare money to open a bank.
If he had money, where would he still watch Goguryeo often come to invade our borders.
Now not only Goguryeo, but even some other cats and dogs come from time to time to pick up a handful of tiger whiskers of the Tang Dynasty.
But he can only endure it, who let him have no money.
If troops are forcibly dispatched, it will only make the people's livelihood miserable, and then the country will be in turmoil and turmoil.
"Your Majesty, the head of the household is still asking to see you."
Wang De walked in from the outside.
"Announce it!" Li Er frowned.
Not long after Dai Xuan left here, he turned back again, and he estimated that something must have happened.
"Yes"
Wang De bowed and withdrew, and after a while, he saw Dai Xuan hurriedly walking in from outside.
"Your Majesty."
After Dai Zhou performed the courtesy of the monarch and minister, he took out a fold from his bosom and presented it with his own hands, "Your Majesty, the minister has just received a report from the head of the warehouse, saying that the price of necessities in the market has all risen by fifty percent, here is the list, please take a look." ”
"Is there such a thing......?"
Li Er looked at the fold in his hand, his brows were deeply locked, and his face was ugly.
"Smack"
The excerpt was slapped hard by Li Er on the dragon case, "Okay......!" They're demonstrating to me! ”
The items on this fold have always been monopolized by the seven major families.
Let's raise the price together now, because we want to avenge their son-in-law!
"Your Majesty, now that prices have risen so much, it will definitely cause resentment among the people, and we have to quickly find a way to deal with it......!" Dai Xuan said worriedly.
"Aiqing has a way to deal with it?" Li Er asked.
"The minister thinks that grain should be sold in warehouses and stabilize grain prices first, and then it will be easy to say anything else."
Dai Xuan thought about it, and this is the only way to try.
"Now that the granary has just been built, there is not much grain stored in it, I think this method can only alleviate for a while, and it can't push down prices......!" Li Er shook his head helplessly, and then looked at Zhao Yin beside him, "What can I do?" ”
Zhao Yin's brain is active and he has a lot of ghost ideas, so maybe he can do something different.
"If we want to solve this problem, we must firmly grasp the food, salt, and books in our own hands."
"If I have the means to hold these things in my hands, will I still be at the mercy of them?"
Li Er thought that Zhao Yin was perfunctory to him, and he was a little unhappy.
