Chapter Ninety-Three: The New President of the Royal Bank
can treat the queen as a housekeeper, and there are only a few in the whole of China for 5,000 years. Empress Eldest Sun not only did it, but also did it very well. It is precisely because of this that she has left the title of "the first virtuous queen of the ages" in the history of the youth, and her husband's "Tian Khan" can be described as a husband and wife.
It is because the habit of financial management has long been deeply rooted in the bone marrow, every time he sees a new thing, Li Shimin will unconsciously judge what impact the new thing has on the military and people's livelihood, and the eldest grandson queen is habitually pondering how to use it to make money.
Li Kuan's tea ceremony performance is indeed not as beautiful as the scenery in the world. But in the eyes of everyone present, except for Li Yuan, who really appreciates it from the bottom of his heart, the others have their own thoughts.
What Li Shimin thinks is that few people can afford to use such a fairy thing, right? If it is really released, I am afraid that it will set off a wave of extravagance again.
Pei Longqian and Qin Qiong looked at each other, both of them had similar thoughts, is it because of the joy of today's New Year, let's go back by looking for a set of things? The scattered tea leaves do look festive than the tea pressed into bricks!
Empress Eldest Sun's thoughts are even simpler: Huashan's group of disciples have indeed tossed a lot of good things in recent years. It is indeed more convenient and easier to sell for money by making tea that was originally heavy oil and salt, and adding various spices. The tea bricks that can be pressed into and the large cup of tea, compared to this delicate clay pot, do not stick to the fireworks in the world, and they can't be on the table at all. Hmm, I'll discuss it with Xiao Er later......
After three rounds of tea, Li Kuan gave up his position and let the palace maids who paid attention to the whole process learn to practice, and he was ready to quietly evacuate the scene. Then he was escorted back to Taiji Palace by Empress Changsun, and there were some words that it was inconvenient for the father to talk to his son as the emperor, so he had to go out by the old lady.
"I want Xiao Ke to go back to Chang'an to take care of the inner house......" As soon as Empress Changsun spoke, she broke the news: "He has been a county magistrate in Huayin for three years, and the evaluation is very good." The government and the opposition praised each other, and the people of Huayin and Huaxian County were also grateful to him. Now the people of those two counties are very rich. There are more rich households than Chang'an, and many people come to Chang'an to buy houses and shops, and those who make money do their own business, and those who can't afford to collect rent. Let them stir around like this, Chang'an's housing prices and prices have risen by two or three percent! ”
Empress Eldest Sun looked proud: "This is all Xiao Ke's ability!" In the past few years, the inner government has taken a ride on Huashan and has also earned some money. However, the people born in the palace have a bad vision in the end, and the means are even more hateful. There is no one like Xiao Ke, who can make money with one hand and get back his reputation with the other. I read the files of the two counties, and in the past few years, there have been very few people who have committed adultery and criminals. ”
"I originally thought that someone was protecting me and avoided these things. I asked people to go down quietly for a private interview, and I found out that he had organized all those ruffians and gangsters, trained them in a unified manner, and made an official office called Chengguan, and those who committed crimes were sent to the mine for labor reform. The two counties have developed rapidly in recent years, and there are ways to make money everywhere, but everyone who serves dim sum has money to make. In his words, who wants to mess with the world if they can make money and eat well? ”
"Speaking of the ability to make money, there are really few people who can catch up with Xiao Ke. Earlier, he used high-yield seeds to exchange one pound for ten pounds of grain to save food for himself. The high-yield grain was planted in Quanguanzhong in two years, and the high price could not be exchanged, so he thought of other tricks. People are still planting corn honestly, and the people of Huayin broke the tender cobs, cooked them and sold them in Chang'an as snacks, two pennies a penny, and made several times more money than the hard work of harvesting cooked cobs!
"That's not all, they broke the tender cobs, the green corn stalks, they bury them in the ground to make green fodder, and in the winter, they take it out and it is still fresh. A car of cars was sent to Chang'an, and the amount of money earned was worth the car. Now Huayin people do more business in Chang'an, and there is also a Huashan Hall opposite the Royal Bank......"
Counting Li Ke's various exploits in Huayin in the past few years, Empress Changsun couldn't turn into Kong Square with her eyes: "This person and person just can't be compared." I used to think that the old people in the inner house were all good at business. But in June and July last year, they had several dealings with the Huayin people. was compared to each other in a flash, and he didn't do well in the business field, and he even wanted to use his power to suppress people. I'm angry......"
Li Kuan found that the old lady was acting again, and hurriedly took out a bottle of mixed juice to give her a good breath.
Not! As soon as the pure natural peach juice entered the mouth, the eyes of the eldest grandson queen narrowed, and she exhaled comfortably: "Originally, the best candidates were those girls, but those girls didn't know what soup they drank from you. As for your eldest brother, you can't see you all year round when you soak in the sea, and the green sparrow has no shadow running all over the world. You are the most capable, and you will not be born in the mountains......"
Li Kuan thought for a while and said, "Don't worry about the inner government, let Xiao Ke come back and arrest the bank." The business of the inner mansion is not worth wasting his energy. Just find someone and put your account at the bank. ”
Empress Eldest Sun took another sip of juice, stared at Li Kuan with her eyes flashing, stared at the old man for a long time, and found that her son really didn't seem to care much. She had the heart to mention that Li Ke was Concubine Yang's daughter, that was the Sui Yang bloodline, and it was already very worrying for him to make such a high official reputation in Huayin in the past few years, and then hand over the entire Datang money bag to him, is it appropriate?
How could Li Kuan not understand her thoughts, but he was absolutely sure, so he didn't bother thinking about it at all, and sighed and said, "Mother! You have to have faith in our brothers, and you can rest assured that our brothers will never engage in such ugly things as cannibalism! ”
"Say what you say! Stinky boy! The eldest grandson poked his finger hatefully: "If it weren't for the bloody battle of your father's horse, how many of our mothers would ...... Tsk, at that time, if my mother knew that you had this ability, she wouldn't be able to do it...... Oops, you stinky boy, I almost got you astray. Tell me, what is the plan to let Xiao Ke manage the bank? ”
Li Kuan explained: "Xiao Ke was originally in finance, but he was very good at the economy, so he was in charge of the bank. In a few years, the Royal Bank will become the real lifeblood of Datang. And these of them who are engaged in the economy, it seems that there is a method called financial warfare, to put it mildly, they can affect the livelihood of the people in a place with a few clicks, and what kind of wealthy families are completely vulnerable in this level of battle. If you do it big, it's not a problem to destroy the country and destroy the clan! ”
"So powerful? That's ...... "Empress Changsun couldn't help but worry about the tradition of infighting among the Li family brothers.
Li Kuan smiled: "No matter how much silver, no matter how powerful a financial institution is, it needs to be protected by strong enough force!" Wealth without strength, in front of swords and guns, is just a lamb to the slaughter! With children, what are you worried about? ”
Empress Eldest Sun thought about it, yes, my little second is the biggest hole card in the palace, whoever really dares to make trouble, let Xiao Er clean him up!
With such confidence, when I think about the royal layout, my eyes are suddenly much wider. Compared with each other, the disciples of Huashan are indeed outstanding, but they are not as intimate as the Li family's own children. This country will be passed on to Cheng Qian in the future, and the one who has the best chance of snatching the throne is Xiao Er, he is not interested, who else would dare to toss?
Yes! After the beginning of the year, Li Ke will be the president of the Royal Bank!
