Coming out of a palace gate in the south of the East Palace, Li Yaoyu and Fifth Yao walked and watched, appreciating the grandeur and luxury of the palace.

"Are we lost?"

Fifth Yao looked around, "We have only been in the palace once or twice, and we have never been here. ”

"It's weird, why aren't there any guards?"

"Maybe the patrol doesn't happen to be there."

"Changle Gate?" Li Yaowei glanced at the big characters on the palace gate, walked to a small building next to the palace gate, and knocked on the door.

The door opened, and the master turned pale with fright when he saw Li Yaoyu and Fifth Yao, "Who are you?" ”

"You know me?"

"I've heard a little."

Li Yaoyu and Fifth Yao felt that something was wrong, "Why are you afraid of us?" ”

The host does not speak.

"Who are you?"

"Concubine Zheng Guanyin." The woman hesitated for a moment, but then said her name.

Zheng Guanyin? Li Yaowei didn't have the information of this name in his mind, "How to get out of the palace?" ”

When I walked out of Changle Gate, I saw the guards, and under the instructions of the guards, I walked to the Shuntian Gate, which was later known as the Chengtian Gate.

"That Zheng Guanyin, who is it?"

It was Du Manwan who answered Li Yaoyu's doubts, "It's the concubine of King Xiyin." ”

After Li Shimin ascended the throne, he demoted the crown prince Li Jiancheng to the title of King Xi, and his nickname was "Yin", so Li Jiancheng was called King Xiyin.

"That is, the original crown princess?"

"Yes."

"It turns out that His Majesty didn't kill her." Li Yaoyu looked at Wu Yao thoughtfully, "No wonder she is afraid of us, it's because we participated in the affairs of Xuanwu Gate." ”

"Perhaps."

Becoming a king or defeating a king, Li Yaowei has nothing to say about these things, but it is also fun to say, Li Jiancheng's wife is called Guanyin, and the eldest grandson queen is called Guanyin.

"Forget it, let's get busy."

Li Yaowei began to prepare for the opening of the bank, first of all, a shop given to Li Yaowei by the Fifth Wenbo, Li Yaojian vacated a large room, and then found the Fifth Ming, and the family gathered together to discuss the specific details.

The main thing is to explain to the fifth Ming how to operate and make a profit.

Two days later, in the west of Chang'an City, a "Datang Bank" was born, Li Shimin loved the inscription, Li Yaowei formulated the business, specifically like the National Bank in Guangzhou, many people in Chang'an City knew about Li Yaoji's bank in Guangzhou, so Li Yaoji's publicity work was very smooth.

Li Shimin assigned the bank to the Ministry of Civil Affairs (later renamed the Ministry of Households) under Shangshu Province, and it was independently managed by Li Yaowei, and Xie Yunfei was appointed as a member of the Ministry of Finance under the Ministry of Civil Affairs to assist Li Yaowei in managing the bank.

"Haha, I'm a six-rank official hahaha!" Xie Yunfei was overjoyed, full of confidence and high morale, "Soon I will be able to surpass my father." ”

Xu Qiuping couldn't cry or laugh, "Your father is from Sanpin, you are still far behind." ”

"Huh? So high, huh? Xie Yun flew away.

"It's okay, do a good job." Li Yaoyu patted him on the shoulder.

It is also expected that the Fifth Ming did not get any benefits, after all, he is a businessman, and it is difficult to get an official position, although Li Yuan allows the children of merchants to have the opportunity to become a sesame official according to Li Yaoji's business tax, then they will have to wait for the descendants of the Fifth Ming.

After the opening of the bank, there are not a few people who come to handle business, there are a lot of rich people in Chang'an City, and there are also many people who donate money, materials and food, and they can do good deeds and accumulate virtues, and they can leave their names in the departments of the imperial court, of course they are willing.

"Yan Gong, I have five thousand."

"Yes, welcome." The guy brought by the fifth Ming registered it for him.

"Yan Gong, I brought 1,000 stone rice, 10,000 pieces of silk, and 100,000 yuan. Donate to charitable foundations. ”

Li Yaoyu smiled, "Thank you, thank you, what a good person." ”

Outside the bank, there is a large bulletin board, divided into three areas, with a lot of card slots on it, and every time someone donates, they write their name on a wooden board and plug it in, and they are arranged from high to low.

Let those who have poured out their gifts to others pay homage to them in the highest and most conspicuous places.

At present, the highest is a wealthy man in Chang'an City, named Gong Huateng, who donated 2 million yuan, tens of thousands of cloths, and 10,000 stones of rice.

It's just inhumane!

Li Yaowei coordinates the overall situation in the bank, after all, he has just opened, and he still has to sit in charge.

After the third day, he skipped work. I was too lazy to let Fifth Yao and Du Manwan look down on it, "Xianggong, is it really good that you're not in the bank to watch?" ”

"Excellent." Li Yaoyu teased his youngest son, "With Xie Yunfei and Qian Ersheng, the fifth Ming is not bad, no problem." ”

"Xie Yunfei will definitely work hard, he is afraid that he will not be able to keep his official position." Xu Qiuping said with a smile.

"Or do you know him."

"......" Xu Qiuping blushed, didn't speak, and continued to take care of Qian Congwen with Xicaizi.

"But seriously, there are really a lot of rich people in Chang'an City, I thought your father was the richest, but I found that everyone else is not a simple person."

Fifth Yao shook his head slightly, "It used to be, but later, when the Tang Dynasty just captured Chang'an, my father gave most of the family property to the imperial court." ”

Li Yaowei was shocked when he heard this for the first time, "No wonder before, the Emperor Taishang said that your father gave the court enough money and did not allow him to lend me money." ”

"Uh-huh, it can be regarded as spending money to buy peace." Fifth Yao said that in ancient times, merchants had a low status, and spending some money to buy a life talisman was the most common practice. Of course, if the emperor covets your family property, it will be bad luck to raid your family.

……

Datang Bank's business is normal, Li Yaowei just goes to inspect every day, and then goes home to tease the children, or talk to a few women, and the life is very chic.

Before you know it, it is the Mid-Autumn Festival in August, the weather is getting cooler, and the leaves are falling. Autumn is the least favorite season of the literati, and autumn is sad. Especially in late autumn, the land is barren and the city is full of wind and rain.

In Chang'an City, many talented and beautiful women have also passed out some poems one after another. Li Yaowei saw it but did not resonate, and instead wrote a poem.

"Mid-Autumn Words"

Who is depressed in late autumn, and the sky is full of green tiles and golden waves.

Ultramarine is a prosperous road, a long and stable river.

The field sweatshirts are full of burdens, and the boats are full of fishing baskets.

A year of hard work leaning on today, sitting in front of the court and counting the geese.

Autumn is the harvest season, and Li Yaowei has also had many happy events in the past year, and he really has no worries, except for missing his parents.

Therefore, the scenery that Li Yaojie saw was festive, leisurely and comfortable. He wrote poems without any sadness.

"Yan Gong's words, optimistic, full of hope, throughout the ages, are rare."

……

"Are you going back to Guangzhou?" Li Yaoyu asked about Xie Yunfei.

Xie Yunfei and Xu Qiuping glanced at each other, then looked at Li Yaoyu, and shook their heads, "I discussed it with my father and mother when I came out, and I won't go back this year." ”

Li Yaoyu nodded, he respected Xie Yunfei's decision.

"It's okay, when you go back, the bank will be short of manpower."
