After Shi Bufan planned the establishment of this holding company, he walked into the palace alone that night when the night was dark and windy. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info And he showed Li Shimin's fish talisman that could pass anywhere in the palace, and then went all the way to the harem. Shi Bufan's fish talisman can freely enter and leave the harem at any time, so the guards have also let it go. Shi Bufan directly inquired about the emperor actually spending the night with a concubine, and Shi Bufan directly asked people to inform him. Soon Li Shimin came out disheveled, and then Li Shimin obviously felt very resentful, and then spoke directly to Shi Bufan unceremoniously.

"What's urgent, can't you talk about it tomorrow?" Li Shimin couldn't help but say angrily.

Shi Bufan didn't know what was going on, just now I was afraid that Li Shimin was doing a man-making movement with a certain concubine, but he was disturbed by himself, of course he was very angry. If any man comes, I'm afraid he will be very angry. However, there are also reasons why Shi Bufan has to come over at this time.

"Your Majesty, this time I am really inconvenient during the day. There are a lot of people during the day, and it is only convenient at this time, so if there are some things, please take care of them! Shi Bufan replied.

"What's the matter, hurry up!" Li Shimin replied politely.

Shi Bufan took the initiative to explain: "Your Majesty, I have already obtained the latest batch of spot silver traded with the Turks. This time, I made a lot of money by manipulating the price of silver. We had enough of forty thousand taels of silver at a cost of less than one hundred and seventy taels of silver, and at the original price of silver, these were worth at least forty thousand taels of silver. However, this time I could only spend more than 6,000 yuan at a time, and I was able to obtain 40,000 yuan of silver. Then, when the price of silver gradually rises, we can once again get the same standard of money as the cost of settling with the Turks in silver. That is to say, we spent more than 6,000 yuan, but we were able to get 40,000 yuan of goods from the Turks. ”

"Oh? Is there such a good thing? Li Shimin was surprised.

Shi Bufan replied: "Your Majesty, in fact, this is also the benefit of using silver as a settlement. We control the silver, and we can control the price of silver at any time, so that the initiative is in our hands. So this time, I manipulated the price of silver and bought silver from the private sector at the lowest price. And the losses were all those profiteers and nobles, and our ordinary people did not suffer any losses. ＂

Hearing that those profiteers and scholars actually directly contributed 40,000 taels of silver, Li Shimin immediately scolded: "These profiteers and scholars are really rich!" ”

Li Shimin couldn't help but be unmoved, thinking that your 40,000 yuan was almost one-tenth of Datang's annual financial income. Don't look at Li Shimin's income of more than 400,000 yuan, but in fact, these money are tight. Because as long as you are a politician, you basically know that although it seems that there is a lot of revenue in the treasury every year, it seems that the household department has a lot of money. However, the money is often predetermined, and often the money has not yet reached the accounts of the household department, and other departments have already divided up the vast majority. If you don't know, just look at the budget, in fact, the vast majority of the shares that are divided between departments each year account for at least 90 percent. The real amount of room that can be given to the various financial departments of the household department is only less than 10 percent, and a government will inevitably spend the vast majority of its expenditures every year that are just needed and cannot be abolished. Only by removing those expenses that are just needed, there is not much money left, and it is good to be able to have 10%.

Therefore, ordinary people may think that the financial department has money, but in fact, many insiders may know that the person who manages the finance is actually the most hard. Guarding so much money, but often unable to corrupt. Because the money in your hand is the object of calculation by other departments, and the person in charge of finances is calculated by others, not by others. Your money hasn't been burned yet, and they've already booked it away. If you dare to be corrupt, a large group of people will also stare at you for work and private, and it is much more difficult for you to be corrupt than other departments, because all departments supervise you for public and private purposes. On the contrary, it is full of oil and water to engage in engineering construction, because there are few people to supervise!

So when I heard about the 40,000 yuan of silver, this is where Li Shimin can decide how to spend it, and where it is spent is all freely decided by the emperor himself, this is the point. These are windfalls, and this is where the real wealth power lies, and it is where you can really decide where you can spend it freely. Even if Li Shimin wanted to put all this money into his own pocket, the courtiers would not be able to say anything.

"Your Majesty, when the time comes, you can take out more than 6,000 taels of silver. Didn't you give us 3,000 yuan before? If you give us 3,800 taels of silver now, you can take the 40,000 taels of silver with you. At that time, the emperor almost only spent about one-seventh of the money, and you could buy more supplies with the Turks. War horses, cheese or something, we can get more next. And we will give this money to the emperor. Taking advantage of the fact that the price of silver has not recovered now, I will give it to the emperor, and it is not that you are competing with the people for profit! Shi Bufan said.

Li Shimin suddenly smiled like a chrysanthemum on his face, obviously very happy. This is real money, as long as you can get this silver from here, when the price of this silver gradually rises to the normal price again, then this is really a net profit. But Shi Bufan took advantage of this time to sell this silver to himself, which was to give this opportunity to make money to Emperor Li Shimin in Hongguoguo, so he was actually paying a bribe! In fact, many people in later generations deliberately did it when they offered bribes. They deliberately pay bribes through transactions, such as deliberately selling high-priced things to a person with power at a low price, which is nominally a transaction, but in fact they are actually giving bribes.

Of course, this method did not work later, and there are even some people who are smarter. They knew that fake trading was not going to work, so they all resorted to another, more useful method. In fact, it is through the things that will inevitably increase in price in the future, and the things that will inevitably rise in the Zhang family, and then deliberately sell them to the other party at the current price, and then you can wait until the price increases for a period of time in the future, which can be regarded as a bribe.

In fact, the price of this kind of thing will inevitably rise, but it deliberately gives this right of income to others, which is also a kind of bribery.

At present, Shi Bufan is actually bribing Li Shimin and the emperor, hoping that Li Shimin will protect this Qianzhuang Federation and serve as the backer of the Qianzhuang Federation. If Li Shimin is unwilling to be a backer, then he will definitely be attacked by those scholars, and then those officials of the scholars who have lost a lot of money will definitely come to trouble the Qianzhuang Federation, so they must give this money to Li Shimin, so as to ensure that they can get a backer.

Li Shimin is now Mu Zhong's biggest backer, Li Shimin wants to use money, and only money can ensure the relative stability of Li Shimin's country. The reason why those scholars were able to hold the emperor hostage was nothing more than talent and their economic status. The gentry controlled most of the economic position, and then they could hold the emperor hostage through both talent and economy, so that the emperor could not disobey them. However, if the emperor himself has enough financial resources, his dependence on the scholars will be greatly reduced, and he can even further attack the scholars in the future, so there is nothing to be afraid of.

If the imperial court did not rely entirely on the economic support of the scholars, then this would be of great benefit to the emperor, and the benefits would be absolutely enormous. So in this way, the two sides can cooperate, and there is a basis for cooperation, so that they can also promote each other together.

"Your Majesty, this is also the token of those silver. When the time comes, you can ask a crony to go to our bank and withdraw the silver in batches, and it can be delivered to you gradually. We've got you to make money here. At that time, you can use this silver to buy various materials from the Turks, and after purchasing the materials, you can resell these materials to our people in the Tang Dynasty again. I think the people of Datang will be very happy to buy those dairy products, and you can raise the price when the time comes. We forbade merchants to trade directly with the Turks face to face, and we had to trade in our trading place, so that we could eat on both sides! When the time comes, we can have to list on the exchange, and then we can raise ours and then drive down their prices. On our home turf, there's a way. ”

"At that time, the emperor can also earn some pocket money for yourself, and you concubines can buy some good things. Also get some milk powder money for the princesses, so that they can grow up better! ”

Li Shimin complained: "Hey, it seems that you are still quite considerate of women?" No wonder Lizhi has good things to say for you all day long! Even my father didn't have as much praise as Li. ”

But since Shi Bufan sent this money, then Li Shimin naturally has no reason not to accept it, who in this world has an enmity with money! What's more, as an emperor, no one knows better than him, and without money, you really can't do anything. What do the rulers of the court want to do, if they want to build a large number of buildings or if they want to fight, which one doesn't ask for money? Without money, it can't be done! Although money is not everything, it is impossible to have money! If there is no money, then what are you talking about in power? Without money, the soldiers would have mutinied long ago. So Li Shimin naturally ate it in his mouth, and naturally there was no reason to spit it out.

However, next, Shi Bufan said: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid I'm going to be scolded next, so I ask the emperor to take care of it for me!" Especially tomorrow morning, I'm afraid I'm going to be scolded, especially the imperial history surnamed Chen, he will definitely scold me, please take care of it for me. ”

Li Shimin said very happily: "Okay, I will bear it for you, anyway, as long as I don't get money without exploiting the people, I can take care of most of the things for you!" ”

The so-called after taking people's money, it is also necessary to eliminate disasters for others, and Li Shimin also understands this truth. With short hands, not to mention that Chen Kang is actually just a mad dog, just a mad dog raised by Li Shimin, if this mad dog is obedient, it's okay. This time, Chen Kang will definitely continue to scold Shi Bufan, this Chen Kang is famous for "opposing when the time comes", and whenever Shi Bufan proposes policies and except for some wind and grass, this Chen Kang will inevitably come out to oppose it. So this time Bufan prepared early, and took advantage of the night before to bribe Li Shimin, the emperor, in advance, and let him take care of himself.

However, this Li Shimin really understands this truth, as long as Shi Bufan can obtain wealth without letting ordinary people at the bottom not be seriously exploited, then Li Shimin is also willing to take the initiative to take care of Shi Bufan. Anyway, Li Shimin is short of money, he is really short of money, and the people who can get him money are Li Shimin's half son.

"Your Majesty, the minister will propose a plan called futures tomorrow, please help support it tomorrow. This plan is good for the emperor, good for the court, and good for ordinary people. However, the only thing that is not beneficial, that is, the scholars, please ask the emperor to help you export and support this plan, and it must be passed. Shi Bufan said.

Li Shimin nodded and said, "Okay, as long as it is as you said, there is nothing I don't support!" ”

Nonsense, if there is really such a good method, it is good for the court, it is good for the people, and it is good for the emperor, then Li Shimin is a fool if he doesn't do it! As for the Shi clan, there is no benefit, then let them go to hell, anyway, Li Shimin can't wait to suppress the Shi clan! If it is really as Shi Bufan said, then Li Shimin will support it even if he is determined to do so.

Soon, Shi Bufan and Li Shimin also reached a "dirty" deal in the Tang Dynasty harem, Shi Bufan paid money to bribe Li Shimin, the emperor, and then Li Shimin, the emperor, also ensured the stability of the Tang Dynasty Qian Lian in terms of power, and Shi Bufan proposed a plan so that Li Shimin could go to the pit of those scholars. When the time comes, the Shi clan will be lost, and that is what Li Shimin laughed at. Although it is still inseparable from the Shi clan for the time being, suppression and containment are actually necessary. Therefore, Li Shimin has no reason not to support it, Li Shimin needs money in the future, and his great cause needs a lot of money to be cast.

And when Shi Bufan left, because it was night, ordinary people didn't notice that Shi Bufan and Li Shimin met. And Shi Bufan has already begun to formulate an important plan, which is also a plan that will help people's livelihood. As long as there is this plan, it will be of great help to the livelihood of the people in the future. In times of turmoil, the nobles benefit the most, and as long as the foundation of the turmoil is contained economically, it is difficult for the nobles to expand their strength. Shi Bufan is good at economics, so he naturally wants to dismantle the foundation of the scholar clan economically. (To be continued.) )
