Chapter 143: Ambition
After coming out of the palace, Yang Dewen finally breathed a sigh of relief, although the emperor's father-in-law set up a lot of obstacles for him to stop him from entering the capital, but Yang Dewen didn't care about that at all.
As a person with a strong system of cheating, it is impossible to do too badly on the exam.
The successful acquisition of the printing and distribution rights of banknotes by the Imperial Bank is a very important matter for the next expansion of the Imperial Bank.
Although Yang Dewen has been complaining in front of the emperor's father-in-law, how thankless the Imperial Bank is in the issue of paper money, how it has lost a lot of silver, but the Imperial Bank has the right to print and distribute paper money, and in general, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.
However, what Yang Dewen said to the emperor's father-in-law is also true, the Imperial Bank has indeed lost a lot of money in the matter of issuing banknotes.
But there are two sides to everything, on the surface the Imperial Bank is indeed losing money, but as the first Imperial Bank to eat crabs, although there will be many banks rising at the same time in the future, the Imperial Bank has been ahead of the curve and won at the starting line, and it is difficult for new banks to catch up.
Yang Dewen and Huang Shouye are not people who are short of money, and after the opening of the Imperial Bank in Mingzhou, they have shown a strong ability to absorb money, accelerate expansion, and open branches of the Imperial Bank in multiple big cities at the same time, there is no problem at all.
After coming out of the palace, Yang Dewen went directly to the Ming Palace, although he also wanted to go directly to the harem to see Princess Yurong, but the emperor's father-in-law seemed to be very unhappy and did not give Yang Dewen a chance.
In fact, although Yang Dewen is the de facto concubine of Princess Yurong, he generally cannot easily enter the harem, and he can be qualified to enter the men in the harem, except for the emperor, there are only eunuchs, even if he is a prince, he cannot easily enter the harem when he becomes an adult, even if he wants to see his mother, he needs the approval of the emperor himself.
Qin Xiaotian is still studying in the Guozi Prison, and the court has not arranged any official positions for him, but his title is born with him, as the only son of the Ming prince, his future is destined to inherit the throne, so Qin Xiaotian has already been a veritable little prince.
Qin Xiaotian befriended Yang Dewen and recognized Yang Dewen as his eldest brother, of course Yang Dewen couldn't treat him badly, for Qin Xiaotian, Yang Dewen was still very affectionate.
Although Yang Dewen also let Qin Xiaotian participate in the leisurely residence in the capital, Yang Dewen felt that this was still far from enough.
Now the Imperial Bank is going to build its headquarters in the capital, and the future Imperial Bank will definitely have a very big development, whether it is for long-term interests, or for the reasons of the relationship between brothers, or to strengthen the close relationship with the imperial family, it is very necessary for the Imperial Bank to have a good development and pull Qin Xiaotian into the interests of the Imperial Bank.
When Yang Dewen arrived in the capital, Qin Xiaotian was of course very happy in his heart, and the two of them ate and drank together.
"Big brother! This time the big test of the imperial court, I have inquired, but the emperor's uncle will let you all be in the top three before agreeing to let you stay in the capital, are you sure? Qin Xiaotian asked with a smile.
"The emperor is simply deliberate, you don't want to think about it, the top three are to be hand-picked by His Majesty himself, and it's not all up to him, no matter how good I am in the exam, what's the use?" As soon as he mentioned this, Yang Dewen was very annoyed, and said with indignation on his face.
"What the eldest brother said is also very reasonable, but the eldest brother still has to do his best, as long as he really does well in the exam, I believe that the emperor's uncle will not deliberately embarrass you." Qin Xiaotian said comfortingly.
"Forget it, don't worry about him for the time being, I don't expect Your Majesty to be so good at talking, he just wants to keep Princess Yurong in the palace to accompany him more." Yang Devon shook his head and said.
"Big brother! You still have to grasp this matter, in fact, to break this situation, it is difficult to say, it is not difficult to say that it is not difficult, the key is whether you have worked hard. Qin Xiaotian smiled and said mysteriously.
"What do you mean by that? What does this have to do with my hard work? Yang Dewen felt that Qin Xiaotian seemed to have something to say.
To be honest, Yang Dewen also wanted to solve this matter earlier, after all, the two are wives, and it is not a way to divide them like this.
"If you work hard and let my sister Princess Yurong get pregnant, can the emperor's uncle still stop you from being together? I'm afraid it's time for the emperor's uncle to be in a hurry. Qin Xiaotian said with a wicked smile.
"You stinky boy, I thought you had a clever strategy, you thought I hadn't thought about it that way, big brother, but this kind of thing is completely a matter of luck, how can you get pregnant if you want to." Yang Dewen said very depressedly.
Yang Dewen himself is also very puzzled, there are a lot of women in his own now, carefully pinching his fingers and counting, how can the women who have a relationship with him be counted as ten, eight. For such a long time, no one has conceived a child.
Sometimes Yang Dewen wondered in his heart if it was because he had crossed over, whether he could have his own children in this place. Or what's going on.
The two talked about the matter of the Imperial Bank, Yang Dewen asked Qin Xiaotian to also get involved, of course Qin Xiaotian was very happy, he wouldn't worry at all, he would suffer losses if he followed Yang Dewen, Qin Xiaotian had already understood Yang Dewen's ability to make money.
Moreover, Qin Xiaotian knew that Yang Dewen and the Huang family would not be short of money when they opened the Imperial Bank.
The reason why he let himself participate in a share is just that Yang Dewen let him follow him to make money.
In fact, although Yang Dewen is indeed not short of money, and he does have the intention to let Qin Xiaotian follow the money, he also has his purpose.
As long as Qin Xiaotian has a stake in it, he doesn't have to worry about what the imperial court will do to the Imperial Bank in the future, and he can also retain the right to print and issue banknotes as much as possible.
Of course, although Yang Dewen is not short of money, if there is more money, the layout and development of the Imperial Bank can also be faster, not to mention that Yang Dewen is still very ambitious, his eyes are not limited to the Great Qin Empire, but the entire land of Shenzhou.
Therefore, Yang Dewen not only wants to pull Qin Xiaotian into the shares, but he also plans to bring the Hu family in the capital into it.
With the addition of the Hu family in the capital, the Imperial Bank could easily step out of the Great Qin Empire and expand to the Huchu Kingdom, the Nanyue Kingdom, and even the Yanbei Kingdom.
