Chapter 408: Prototype
In the era of the world, the face of the emperor is equivalent to the face of the country. Once the emperor's face is damaged, it will affect the image of the entire country, so any emperor who has some backbone, for the sake of the country's reputation, would rather choose to die than reluctantly.
After all, the interests of the country are above all else, even if he is the emperor.
The famous tragic emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty, would rather choose to hang himself in the coal mountain than choose to flee from exile.
Even Li Jing, the lord of Li Tang, was willing to go to Huangquan in order to avoid the humiliation of the Song court. Not to mention Zhao Lao Er, who was written into "Qinyuan Spring Snow" by the later Taizu.
"You mean that you want to put this money bank in the name of the household department?" Zhao Kuangyin frowned and said: "The royal family can't put the Yinzi money, can the imperial court put the Yinzi money?" ”
People live with a face, trees live with a skin, and there is nothing to compromise on the issue of face. Only when he is really cornered, he may be able to see the essence of a person, but now Zhao Lao Er has many choices.
Of course, the most extreme means is war.
There will inevitably be a war between the two countries, and only after weighing each other's catties and pounds can they put themselves in a suitable position and conduct final negotiations.
Of course, if it can be eliminated directly, then it would be the best, and there is no need to talk about it.
So Zhao Kuangyin and Wen Qihang invariably shifted the topic to the issue of Qianzhuang, and directly tacitly avoided talking about the matter of presenting beauties to Liaoguo.
Wen Qihang saluted and said: "Your Majesty, now that I am newly established, it is the time to vigorously develop the people's livelihood, but the world has been in war for more than 50 years, the people are poor, and the family has no money to spare.
With such a high monthly interest, even if the people have the intention to borrow, they are unable to repay, and even the people who have to borrow debts have to go to the point of selling their sons and daughters to pay off their debts.
It is all the people of our court, Your Majesty's people, and now the court has stepped forward to help them tide over the difficulties with a small amount of monthly profits. Weichen believes that the people of the world must return to their hearts.
In this way, we can help the people and solve the problem of the empty treasury by the way. Wechen believes that this is a virtuous government that is beneficial and harmless. ”
"Thirty percent per annum! The annual interest rate is 10%! Zhao Kuangyin looked at the song and muttered: "The reduction of the profit by 12 times will indeed be of great benefit to the people, but how can you ensure that the money will be lent to the people in the end, not a big family like you?" ”
"........" doesn't understand, you have to pretend to understand, and you don't know how to lose it. Wen Qihang grinned and said: "Your Majesty, it is very important to treat everyone equally, only a big family like Weichen can borrow money on a large scale, and only in this way can more employment opportunities be created, so that the people will have a place to make money, and they can become rich."
Your Majesty, you have also been to Guanlou Village, and the wages that Weichen gave to those craftsmen were twice as much as usual. ”
"Look at what Wenqing wrote in the chapter, this money bank will gather the wealth of the world in the future, you haven't thought about it, what if something happens to the money village in the future?"
Although Zhao Kuangyin has some ignorance of the operation model of this money bank, the emperor's sense of smell is still keenly aware of the seriousness of the problems he will face in the future.
Wen Qihang said: "Your Majesty, this money bank, no matter what, there can be no accident in the future, because once an accident happens, the consequences will be very serious, and it will even shake the country's foundation."
Man dies for money, and birds die for food.
The money bank is full of people's hard-earned money, and once their money is gone, the consequences will be even more terrible than a mutiny. ”
"Since you know that this is powerful, why do you insist on building this bank?" Zhao Kuangyin was shocked. He finally understood where the chill from his heart just now came from, and it was Wen Qihang who said that once there was a problem with the people's money, rebellion would be a matter of minutes.
Wen Qihang saluted and said: "Your Majesty, everything has a benefit, there is a disadvantage, just like gunpowder, if it is used against the enemy, it can kill the enemy invisibly." However, if it blows itself up, it can also destroy itself.
But the things of the world, like the waters of a surging river, never retreat. We definitely can't waste food because of choking, not to mention that the disadvantages of money are not actually drawbacks, just like gunpowder, as long as it is properly kept, it will only kill the enemy, not hurt oneself.
Therefore, as long as you follow the rules, the money bank will only bring benefits, but not harm. ”
"Wen Qing is still too young, and he still doesn't know enough about people's hearts." Zhao Kuangyin sighed. As long as people are managing, there will inevitably be loopholes. People's hearts are not enough to swallow elephants, and in the face of such a treasure plate as Qianzhuang, there are too few people who can control greed and do not stretch out their hands.
Wen Qihang smiled and said, "Your Majesty, of course we can't count on people's hearts. Only a strict system is an eternal weapon. ”
"Oh, tell me about it?" Zhao Kuangyin was noncommittal.
"Your Majesty must be worried that once the money bank is handed over to the household management, it will be difficult to ensure that those officials will not be able to do it, so Wei Chen suggested that the household department of the money village only has the power to supervise, but not the administrative power."
"Who is in charge of the bank?" Zhao Kuangyin frowned.
"Weichen thinks that Her Royal Highness the princess is very suitable." Wen Qihang said with a smile.
"Zhao'er?" Zhao Kuangyin frowned.
"Yes, and it is the eldest princess of the past dynasties who is responsible, not passing, not receiving, not accepting, once the current eldest princess cannot be in charge, she will hand over her authority to the next eldest princess." Smell the fairway.
“........ Can you guarantee that the princesses of the past will not attack them? Zhao Kuangyin wondered.
"Of course, there is no guarantee, but there is a household supervision, and once a crime is discovered, it will be dealt with by national law." Wen Qihang said expressionlessly.
"What if the current emperor wants to intervene?" Zhao Kuangyin's face was not good. This damn smell set sail, it is really bold, for the eldest princess of one day, she actually said that the crime will be punished, and there is really no taboo.
"Weichen has said just now that the money in the money village is the money of the people, and the emperor can decide anything, but for the money in the money bank, it is absolutely a minefield, and it cannot be moved, otherwise the consequences are really serious.
Wechen suggested that His Majesty should make this a permanent example. ”
Zhao Kuangyin snorted lightly and said, "Is there anything in this world that the emperor can't decide?" ”
"........" is very boring to raise the bar, there are many things that the emperor in the world can't manage. As for the sentence that the whole world is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister, it is simply a trick used to coax the emperor.
"Why does it have to be the eldest princess of the past dynasties, can't it be a prince or a prince?" Zhao Kuangyin thought about it.
"This........ Well........ this," he said hesitantly.
"Say!" Zhao Kuangyin was impatient.
"Yes." Wen Qihang took a breath and said truthfully: "Because it is possible for the crown prince or prince to succeed to the throne." ”
“........”
Zhao Kuangyin now finally understands the intention of Wen Qihang, and hands it over to the prince to manage, with the huge help of Qianzhuang, it is very likely that he will ascend to the throne in the future, and once he ascends the throne, if he is found to be corrupt during the management of Qianzhuang, then how to punish him.
You can't depose the emperor!
But the princess is much easier to deal with, as long as another Wu Zetian does not appear, even if it is not beheaded for public display, but it is still extremely easy to put her under house arrest and let her spend the rest of her life.
"I'll think about it again........," Zhao Kuangyin muttered.
The household department supervises the money village, the princess has managed the money village, and the emperor is in the middle of the arbitration, without interfering with each other, and not belonging to each other, which is quite a perfect separation of powers.
"Your Majesty, what about Weichen's application to open an academy?" Seeing that Zhao Lao Er was in the attic, he paced around a few times, and then drifted away. Wen Qihang hurriedly asked loudly.
"I'll get back to you as well."
Zhao Lao Er put down the next sentence and walked straight away. It seems that the matter of Qianzhuang has hit him hard, after all, the emperor cannot interfere in the operation of Qianzhuang, which obviously contradicts the majesty of imperial power. But the benefits are too great.
As long as the money bank starts to operate, a large amount of taxes will be generated, which is the wealth of the world, and it is conceivable what a huge tax it will be.
As Wen Qihang said in the last sentence of the recital: The people do not give more and the country is sufficient.
