"The so-called financing is to raise funds from large-scale and reputable businesses in the private sector to prepare for banks. The imperial court can give a certain percentage of the shares to the investors. ”

As soon as Li Yue finished explaining, someone raised his voice and objected: "The court partners with merchants, what kind of system is this?" Your Majesty, this must not be done! ”

To Li Yue's surprise, it was not Tang Hao, the left prime minister who had already formed a relationship with him, who spoke out against him, but an official in his forties with a national face.

Li Yue looked at Zhu Chongli, then at Wen Bin and Zhang Qi, and even Tang Hao frowned.

Who is this person? It can make Emperor Daliang and a group of high-ranking officials frown. Thinking of this, Li Yue did not flinch, "Why can't this matter of both the government and the people?" ”

"The duty of the Son of Heaven is no greater than courtesy, courtesy is greater than points, and points are greater than fame. What is etiquette? Ji Gang is also. What is a score? Monarchs and ministers are also. What is a name? Shinong industry and commerce is also. The face of the national character did not forgive: "The husband is wide with mountains and rivers, and the people are subject to the holy one, although he has the power of the superlative, the wisdom of the world, he does not run and serve, is it not to be disciplined by courtesy!" Therefore, the Son of Heaven ruled over the hundred officials, and the scholars ruled the people. Expensive to cheap, cheap to inherit, the upper and lower are still the luck of the henchmen, and the next things are like the hands and feet to protect the henchmen, and then the upper and lower can be safe. If you are greedy for temporary profits, the court and the merchants will be on an equal footing, and the ministers will be afraid that the etiquette and discipline will collapse and the country will be shaken! ”

The face of the national character made Li Yue's head suddenly as big as a fight, and he was neither angry nor annoyed when he could only understand the general meaning, but just asked with a smile: "Then this lord, can you fill the deficit in the treasury with the name of etiquette and discipline?" ”

Guozi snorted coldly and said: "Death by starvation is a small matter, but loss of festival is a big matter!" ”

"Then why don't you donate all your money and family wealth, so that the urgent need of the imperial court can be alleviated, and you can also be famous for all adults and leave a name in history. Why not kill two birds with one stone? ”

"This ...... The official ...... "Guozi Face didn't expect Li Yue to play his cards so unreasonably, and he couldn't find a reason to refute for a while, so he could only stammer: "It's just this official...... That's ...... It doesn't hurt to donate that meager amount, but it's only a drop in the bucket! Bucket! ”

The more Li said these words, the more righteous he said, but the more serious he was, the more funny everyone felt.

Wen Bin and Zhang Qi almost didn't squirt!

On the dragon chair, Zhu Chongli was also holding back tears that were about to come out, he couldn't hold back a smile and said, "Don't be rude to invite Lang!" Don't you apologize to the scholar of Chongwen Palace, the priest of the country, Lord Zhu? ”

Li Yue was shocked, it turned out that the face of the national character was Zhu Kongyang, the first Confucian in the Liang. He blended Taoism and Buddhism into Confucianism, and created his own "Taoism", and his disciples were all over the government and the opposition, and Ouyang Dong, who had previously encouraged the people to knock on the book to rescue Li Yue, was also a student of Zhu Kongyang. Mr. Zhu is the number one leader of Liang Shilin.

Bachelor Zhu, who admits death, is a character in the court who makes people's scalps tingle when he mentions it. Today, Li Yue actually did not match the preface and afterword of Master Zhu, which can be regarded as setting a big record in the Liang court.

"Mr. Zhu, the younger generation doesn't choose what to say, and I hope you don't remember the villain!" Li Yue bowed deeply.

"This is a business matter, not a personal grudge, it doesn't matter!"

Hearing Zhu Kongyang say this, Li Yue immediately had a lot of good feelings towards him, but he still insisted on his own opinion and said: "The younger generation thinks that if you oppose the establishment of a bank on the grounds of righteousness, it is really undesirable!" Sage Yun: 'Cang Liao knows etiquette, food and clothing are enough and knows honor and disgrace', if you can make the people live a rich life, and then educate with etiquette and music, you will get twice the result with half the effort! ”

"Clever words!"

Li Yue did not intend to let alone have the ability to change Bachelor Zhu's mind, no matter what era it is, it is definitely more difficult to change a person's mind than to climb Mount Everest. At this point, however, it is clear who has the upper hand in this debate.

Zhang Qi, the right minister, said at this time: "The minister thinks that the bank is feasible, this law can promote the trade of merchants from all over the Liang, reduce transaction costs, and the most important thing is that it can raise a large amount of money for the imperial court in a short period of time to enrich the treasury." ”

Wang Wenbin of Wu'an County and Wen Anguo, the third envoy, were also there stroking their beards and nodding.

Li Yue was a little nervous after listening to Zhang Qi's words, what he was most worried about was that the imperial court would use the bank as a tool to accumulate wealth in the short term, which was not his original intention of proposing to set up a bank. He had to speak: "Holy Lord, in the humble opinion of the ministers, the bank should operate independently after it is established. The imperial court may set up a money supervision department to supervise banks, but it cannot directly interfere in the day-to-day operation of banks. The income of the imperial court mainly comes from year-end dividends and profits and taxes paid by banks. If the imperial court really can't turn around for a while, you can also borrow money from the bank. In this way, the bank can continue to ...... for the imperial court."

Before Li Yue could finish speaking, Tang Hao interrupted him: "If you can't directly withdraw funds, then what's the use of the imperial court setting up a bank?" ”

Tang Hao has been in the phase for many years, how can he be so short-sighted? It's just that this bank was proposed by Li Yue, so it must be opposed. People in the court, more often than not, are opposed for the sake of opposition, is it so important on the merits?

Of course, Li Yue could feel that Zuo Xiang Tang Hao was unfriendly to him, and more importantly, he knew that the person who caused his last prison disaster was definitely not He Shou. A small Liupin Temple, if there is no big man behind him, he will not dare to force himself to frame the king of Wu'an County.

Li Yue faintly felt that the black hand behind the scenes was Zuo Xiang Tang Hao, although there was no direct evidence, but once the seeds of doubt were planted in his heart, it would take root and thrive, and it would be difficult to pull it out. Therefore, Li Yue did not salute Tang Hao, and said heavily: "Tang Xiangguo! The bank is not the second treasury, and the money deposited in the bank is the wealth of the people except for the start-up capital. What is the difference between taking money directly from the people if it is arbitrarily drawn? ”

Zhu Chongli's cheeks were slightly red, he still felt that what Tang Hao said seemed to be reasonable, but after Li Yue said this, he came to his senses.

Now no one dares to support Tang Hao's opposition to the independent operation of the bank, after all, no one wants to be saddled with the notoriety of robbing the people's money.

Then, when Tang He did not continue to oppose it, Zhu Chongli finally decided to establish a bank. The monarch and ministers also discussed many details of the establishment of the bank, such as the issue of the imperial court's contribution, and the Qian Supervision Department is of course headed by Li Yue, but the Qian Supervision Department should be the three divisions of the household department, whether the salt and iron and the degree branch are equal or subordinate, and if so, which division should they belong to?

After this series of issues were discussed, the ministers dispersed, but Zhu Chongli left Li Yue to accompany him to dinner. This is a great grace, who knows that Li Yue is still not satisfied, and cheekily said that he is in charge of the bank's affairs, and the affairs of the ordnance supervisor cannot be wasted, so he recommended to Zhu Chongli that Feng Chaozong is in charge of the ordnance superintendent, and Jiang Hongfeng is the firearms department to sign the order.

Zhu Chongli, who was in a good mood, immediately agreed, and the appointment of Jiang Hongfeng, who was originally a craftsman, as an official should be able to cause the earth of the Liang Dynasty to shake, but the attention of the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty was attracted to the bank at this time.
