Chapter 51 If you have money, you can really do whatever you want
Chang'an, Shangshu Province.
Pei Min patted the desk with one hand and shouted in distress: "Money, money, today, I finally understand what a penny is, and I am stumped by a hero." β
The world is almost stable, and the order reset after the chaos is easy to say, but it is especially complicated to do.
There is no shortage of talents in Pei Min's hands, Zhang Jiuling and Song Jing are famous in the world.
Yuan Qianyao is an old fritter in the officialdom, and his administrative ability may be inferior, but he is cautious, has been a relative for many years, and has many protΓ©gΓ©s and former officials, and is the most popular.
Li Yuanhong and Pei Min are not of the same mind, but his administrative ability is still exceptionally good. And he is a humble gentleman, a noble minister, his family has no savings, he has the atmosphere of Ji Wenzi in the past, and he is also a good hand.
There are also Li Shizhi, Han Xiu, Wei Jiansu, Cui Yuan, Zhang Hao, Li Xian and others, all of whom are good talents.
With the addition of Yan Gaoqing, Yan Zhenqing, Wang Wei, Wang Zhilian, Wang Changling, and Gao Shi, the main backbone of the temple is there.
His mind is also the most cheesy thing...... Money.
Pei Min came to this era and didn't know the pain of not having money. Although he was indeed a little shy at the beginning, Pei's mother was a good housekeeper, and she didn't have to worry about food and accommodation.
And he was also fortunate to get acquainted with Xue Ne, Yuan Luqian, and He Zhizhang.
Pei Min in Youzhou is responsible for eating and living in Yuan Luqian, the money for the exam in Beijing was given by Xue Ne, and the residence in Chang'an is also He Zhizhang's mansion.
Especially after marrying Jiao Chen, Jiao Chen's own dowry is enough for Pei Min to squander half his life. At the same time, the official fortune of the road is prosperous, and the Li Tang Dynasty adheres to the style of high salary and honesty, and he is enough to use, not to mention his second identity as the richest man in Longyou with Jiao Chen and Longyou.
But as the world gradually regained stability, the rewards after the war, the pensions after the war, and the post-war reconstruction of the region, all of these things needed money.
And each one is astronomical, and it can easily be millions of dollars.
However, Chang'an was broken by the rebels, and the money in the treasury was looted.
Although the capture of Luoyang and the Tang army confiscated the treasury of the rebels, An Lushan had already dispersed some of his money in order to buy people's hearts.
How easy is it to recover the money that has been scattered?
The treasury is empty, and everywhere needs money.
directly led to the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Crime, and the Ministry of Rites all asking Pei Min for money, and even the Ministry of Households, which was in charge of the money bags of the Tang Dynasty, was also asking Pei Min for money.
forced Pei Min to almost shout out the hooligan words of asking for money and dying.
At this point, he realized the importance of having money.
Wang Wei sent a fold and said, "Pei Shuai, this is an excerpt handed over by the officials below, and it is all about suggestions on money and taxes." The subordinates have all sorted it out......"
"Good! Grab it! β
Pei Min's spirit was shocked.
Many people think that it is the emperor's power to approve the recitals, but this is not the case.
It was the prime minister who really reviewed the recital, and the emperor saw that the prime minister felt that it was reasonable or worth discussing after reviewing it. Only a few ministers with the emperor's permission have the right to bypass the prime minister, go directly to the emperor, and arrive at Tianting.
Pei Min is the head of the prime minister, and the recitals of the civil and military officials are naturally sent to Pei Min.
Pei Min cheered up and read them one by one, but most of them were opinions that treated the symptoms but not the root cause.
Especially the individual radical ones, Pei Min almost got angry, but after thinking about it, he endured it.
This is not a matter of words, even if it is a bad idea, it is better than no idea.
"These people who talk about raising taxes, as well as these private coins, don't send them in the future. This kind of idea may produce immediate results in the short term, but in a long time, the harm to the world is immeasurable. β
"This raises commercial taxes, but on the surface it does not affect the people. But in fact, as soon as the commercial tax is high, all prices will rise accordingly, and it is the people who suffer in the end. The world has just been decided, and the people's hearts are unstable, and if they are bewitched by ulterior motives, they may even cause civil unrest. β
"As for private coins, they will cause a flood of silver coins, and the value of the coins will be greatly depreciated, and the credibility will be lost. Once it reached the point of bartering, the economy of the imperial court collapsed. If you want to recover, it is very difficult! β
Pei Min actually knows a little about finance, but there have been many examples of many things in history.
With these lessons from the past, he also had a certain amount of foresight in many things.
"At present, the only feasible method is Yan Zhenqing's method of opening the Western Regions Business Road, which uses the difference between Eastern and Western specialties to stimulate the economy. I don't know what the situation is on the side of the loyal heir, the war is uncertain, the business route cannot be opened, and this method cannot solve the urgent need. β
Pei Min rubbed his head that hurt a little, not knowing what to do.
Wang Wei said: "Pei Shuai, my subordinates have an idea. β
Pei Min hurriedly said: "Tell me about it!" β
"Kill the rich and help the poor!" Wang Wei said: "There is a precedent for this court to lack money. I remember that in the early days of our dynasty, Emperor Taizu and Zheng Fengchi talked about wine. Emperor Taizu is high, but Zheng Fengchi, a businessman, is qualified to talk with him about wine, isn't it because Zheng Fengchi is rich in the world? β
Pei Min has the name of this person in his memory, Zheng Fengchi was the richest man in the Tang Dynasty in the early Tang Dynasty, his family property is countless, his mansions are all over the sea, and he interacts with the powerful, and he is in the market. Datang Xinli, there are many places that urgently need money, and whenever the finances are tight, Zheng Fengchi will generously donate money and help each other. Later, he didn't come back, and Zheng Fengchi raided his house.
This kind of businessman who is rich and rivals the country, just like Shen Wansan, does not kill and keep to raise fat?
Perhaps because of this, there has been no real wealth on the surface of the Tang Dynasty since then.
Pei Min suddenly reacted and said, "Are you talking about Ge Shuhan?" β
Wang Wei bowed his head and said: "Yes! Pei Shuai, Ge Shuhan has the best face, you punish him for copying military regulations, and recite military law in front of soldiers three times in the morning, noon and evening, such as his character, he can spend money on things, and no matter how much money he has, it will come out. β
Pei Min hesitated, the Western Regions were under his rule, so he naturally knew the wealth of the Geshu family.
Since ancient times, wealth has not been exposed, especially after Zheng Fengchi's incident, no one has the courage to claim to be the richest man.
As for his other identity as the richest man in Longyou, this richest man is only on the surface, and it is a joke to talk about it. Even if he goes bankrupt, he can't fill the vacancy in the current government.
The Geshu family is different, the Geshu family has the advantage in the Western Regions, they themselves are the leaders of the Geshu tribe, and the family has intermarried with the royal families of the Western Regions for several generations, and has been approved by the imperial court to run the salt and iron business.
His mother is the princess of the king of Khotan, his grandmother is the princess of Qiuci country, and he himself is also married to the princess of Anguo, and the family strength is all over the Western Regions.
The identity of the richest man in the Western Regions of the Geshu family has been consolidated by power and money, and no one has shaken it.
Hetian Meiyu is famous all over the world, and eighty percent of Hetian jade in the world is from the Geshu family, which is only one of the financial aids of the Geshu family.
"Alright! I admit it, if you have money, you can really do whatever you want, I admit defeat, you let people inform him, spend money to eliminate disasters! β
Pei Min has led the troops for so long, and it is the first time that he has canceled his punishment for his subordinates.
