readx; "How did you come up with the idea of opening the cabinet?" Hu Peiyun said a little strangely. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Chang Jin saw his expression of surprise, so he smiled and said: "This is not surprising, since the completion of the Tang Straight Road, the time from the Central Plains to Anxi has been reduced by forty percent, and the trade with the West is becoming more and more developed, although the government has a cabinet shop, but after all, it is official, and there is only one, which is not convenient for many small and medium-sized businessmen, so that we can use our geographical advantages to open a multinational bank, save money, release money, currency exchange, withdraw money from other places, etc., and always make the business bigger." ”

"Multinational banks?"

Hu Peiyun heard such a name for the first time, although he could understand the literal meaning, but he didn't understand the specific content, he was about to ask, at this moment, a guy ran in in a panic and said a few words to Chang Jin.

Chang Jin immediately stood up and said, "The lord is here, let's go to greet him!" ”

．．．．．．．

Outside Atami, hundreds of cavalry blocked Lingxi Lane tightly, Li Qingan stood in front of the gate of Atami, next to Bi Gong stood more than a dozen guys and orchids, Li Qingan is a frequent visitor here, they all know each other.

In Li Qing'an's hands is holding a little girl who is about two years old, this is his adopted daughter Li Siyue, that is, Zhang Yue's daughter, originally called Zhang Si, she recognized Li Qing'an as her father, recognized Wuyi as her mother, and changed her surname to Li, Li Qing'an added another one to her name in honor of her father. Yue's word, the full name is Li Siyue, was named the county lord of Jinman, the little girl held Li Qing'an's hand, from time to time to look up at her father, she grew up beside the nurse, no father to take care of, now she has a father who loves her, so that her heart is full of attachment to Li Qing'an.

Behind Li Qing'an stood his second wife Jiang Wuyi, who took his daughter to Ci'en Temple in the morning to repay his vows, and later went to Li Linfu's old house to see her former residence, although Li Linfu's children were not assigned to Lingnan because of Li Qing'an's intercession, but all of them were degraded by Li Longji as commoners and driven out of Chang'an, Li Longji dug up Li Linfu's body from the tomb, ordered to count his ten crimes, whipped the corpse, and stripped off his brocade clothes and jade robe, wrapped it in a straw mat, and buried it in a mass grave.

Most of Li Linfu's children are scattered all over the Tang Dynasty, the old mansion has been deserted, no one lives in it, Wuyi stayed in the small courtyard where she used to live for nearly ten years, and then left Pingkangfang, coincidentally, I happened to meet her husband who came out of Chongrenfang Pei Zunqing Mansion.

Li Qing'an took their mother and daughter into the carriage and came to Atahaiju together, Pei Wan'er stayed at her mother's house to keep her grandfather's head seven, and did not follow, Li Qing'an knew that Wuyi was coming for the first time, so he introduced to her with a smile: "This is the shop opened by Changjin, I used to come often." ”

"Oh! It turned out to be a shop opened by Uncle Chang. ”

Wuyi knew Chang Jin, and said with a smile: "His daughter Sanyu is still my student!" I don't know if it's in Chang'an, but I have to ask. ”

At this time, Chang Jin and Hu Peiyun rushed out, bowed to Li Qingan and saluted: "See the general!" ”

"It turns out that General Hu is also here, I thought you would come at noon."

Hu Peiyun's face flushed, and he said, "I went back to the yamen to deal with some urgent matters first, and I just arrived." ”

"It's good! Come and see something with me later. ”

Li Qingan smiled at Chang Jin again: "Where are your wives and daughters?" ”

"In! They're all there. ”

Chang Jin saw the dance clothes, hurriedly stepped forward to give a salute, and ordered someone to find his wife and daughter, and after a while, Chang Jin's wife Feng and youngest daughter Changyu hurriedly walked out.

Chang Jin has three sons and one daughter, the youngest daughter Sanyu is only thirteen years old, in the broken leaves and dance clothes to learn the piano, Feng also often goes to Li Qing'an's mansion, they are very familiar with each other, they met in Chang'an, very happy, Feng picked up Li Siyue and smiled: "Madam, follow me to the back house!" It's time for dinner. ”

Wuyi looked at Li Qing'an, Li Qing'an nodded, and said with a smile: "Go ahead!" By the way, take a test of the student's piano skills, see if she has forgotten? ”

Wu was overjoyed, so he said, "Then call me when you leave later, I'll go first." ”

A few women laughed and laughed and walked to the back house.

Li Qing'an saw them walking away, so he followed Chang Jin and Hu Peiyun into the room, he sat down and said with a smile: "Coming back here is like coming home." ”

Chang Jin poured Li Qingan a cup of hot tea and said with a smile: "This was originally the lord's home. ”

"Hmmm! That's right. ”

Li Qingan took a sip of tea and asked, "Is the bank's matter confirmed?" ”

He also explained to Hu Peiyun: "The name of the bank was decided by me, originally they wanted to call it a money bank, but Dashi and Byzantium did not use money, they used gold and silver coins, and we also used silver dollars in Anxi, so it is more appropriate to call it a bank." ”

"I understand that it is indeed better to call the bank, and it is atmospheric and smooth."

Chang Jinyu reported: "It has been determined that we are going to open six banks first, one in Baghdad, the new capital of the Arabs, one in Samarkand, one in Shaye, one in Constantinople, one in Chang'an, and one in Guangzhou. ”

"How did you come up with the idea of opening a store in Guangzhou, it was for maritime trade?"

Li Qing'an reacted very quickly, and immediately thought of maritime trade, he received information that the port of Turan in the southernmost part of Punjab had been repaired at the beginning of the year, and was invested and built by Sogdian merchants to facilitate their maritime trade, and Persian and Arab trading ships began to call at the port to conduct maritime trade with Sinde, and two months ago, a fleet of more than 300 large ships transported 2 million stone Sindh grain to the Tang Dynasty Guangzhou.

This is the main reason why Li Qing'an wants to repair Tulan Port, one is to establish a maritime trade line with Tianzhu Xinde, and the second is to transport the rich grain of Xinde to Datang, there is no large-volume transport by land, and the road is inconvenient, the consumption on the road is too large, and there is not much to transport to Chang'an, and a large number of transportation can be carried by sea.

Chang Jin said with a smile: "Exactly, now the maritime trade is quite prosperous, no less than the land trade, I heard that there are 100,000 Arabs over there in Guangzhou, so we decided to open a bank in Guangzhou." ”

Li Qing'an nodded, "You are very thoughtful, the imperial court has already set up a city supervision in Guangzhou to collect commercial taxes, and there was nearly one million guan tax revenue last year alone, which shows the prosperity of maritime trade, and it is very wise to open a bank there." ”

Chang Jin took out a document and handed it to Li Qing'an, "Lord, this is an official document signed by the Eighteen Families, and everyone unanimously agreed to dissolve the Hidden Dragon Society. ”

"Ahh Disbandment of the Hidden Dragon Society. ”

Hu Peiyun next to him was taken aback, his eyes widened, full of extreme shock, and he simply fainted when he disbanded the Hidden Dragon Society.

Hu Peiyun is a member of the Hidden Dragon Society of the later generation, after joining the Anxi Army and becoming the leader of the military intelligence, he gradually broke away from the affairs of the Hidden Dragon Society, the annual meeting of the Hidden Dragon Society, he has not participated in it for two consecutive years, and he does not know the situation of the Hidden Dragon Society, he only knows that the Hidden Dragon Society has gone through several generations of vicissitudes for a hundred years, how can he say that it will be disbanded, at this time, he has always been calm and chaotic, and hurriedly said: "What is going on, why do you want to dissolve the Hidden Dragon Society?" ”

In fact, the Hidden Dragon Society has held meetings for three consecutive days and made many major decisions, the twenty-five members of the Hidden Dragon Society, representing the eighteen family generals who escorted the crown princess to flee to Broken Leaves, except for Li Qingan and the four people who held public positions, a total of twenty people attended the three-day meeting that decided the fate of the Hidden Dragon Society.

Li Qingan saw that Hu Peiyun was out of shape, and knew that he was in a hurry, so he smiled at Chang Jin and said, "Just tell him!" Get him back to normal as soon as possible. ”

Chang Jin as a Huicheng, he actually has the obligation to explain some of the decisions of the meeting to Hu Peiyun and others, since Li Qingan spoke, he said: "In fact, this is also a thing that we have discussed for a long time, if the lord ascends the throne, then my Hidden Dragon Society will realize the century-old dream and fulfill the last wishes of the ancestors, so what should we do in the future?" Is there a need for the Hidden Dragon Society to continue to exist? Three months ago, my grandfather asked for a sign in front of the spirit of the Hidden Prince, and the signature was 'Flying Dragon in the Sky, Hidden Dragon into the Earth', which is the meaning of the Hidden Prince's spirit in the sky, so we decided to dissolve the Hidden Dragon Society, but the lord means that the Hidden Dragon Society will be dissolved and not dissolved....."

Hu Peiyun nodded silently, he already understood a little, and asked, "My eldest brother should also sign!" ”

"Yes, your eldest brother Hu Peiquan has already signed the interpretation book on behalf of the Hu family."

Chang Jin showed Hu Peiquan's signature to Hu Peiyun, and said: "The so-called dissolution but not dissolution means that the Hidden Dragon Society will change its purpose, no longer care about politics, but become a commercial consortium, and divide the assets of the Hidden Dragon Society into eighteen parts, one for each of our eighteen families, and when encountering major business decisions in the future, the eighteen families will vote together, and your eldest brother Hu Peiquan should talk to you in detail at night." ”

Hu Peiyun nodded, the Hidden Dragon Society changed its purpose, he finally understood, the purpose of their eighteen families for a hundred years has been the Hidden Dragon ascending the throne, and now this purpose is about to be realized, then the Hidden Dragon Society will either dissolve, or change its appearance and continue to exist, emotionally, the Eighteen Families have shared glory and disgrace for more than a hundred years, and no one is reluctant to disband, and everyone forms a big business group, which is also a way out, which is also a kind of reward for Li Qing'an's Hidden Dragon Society.

"Then what will be the main business of our Hidden Dragon Society in the future?"

"A trade, mainly cross-border trade, including land and sea, Qi Huaiyuan has gone to Guangzhou to prepare for the Tongji Maritime Trading Company and the Tongji Guangzhou Bank, it is estimated that in half a year, the first maritime merchant fleet of our Tongji Association will go to sea."

"Freemasons?"

"Yes, the Hidden Dragon Society will be renamed the Tongmasons Association in the future, and everyone unanimously decided on this name, which means that the eighteen families will be in the same boat, and the lord will no longer have anything to do with us in the future, and the president will be voted by each family."

Hu Peiyun nodded silently, and he asked again: "Then there is another main business is a bank!" ”

Li Qing'an smiled beside him: "That's right, a trade, a bank, I hope that Tongji will become the world's first business consortium in the future, I don't just mean the Tang Dynasty, including Arabia and Byzantium, and even more distant West." ”

In fact, this is also Li Qing'an's deliberate decision, the Hidden Dragon Society has played a huge role in his ascension to the throne, but as a control of the world, he does not want the Hidden Dragon Society to exist as a political force, and must be disbanded, considering the mysterious and powerful financial resources of the Hidden Dragon Society, Li Qingan thought of the Rothschild Consortium and the Rockefeller Consortium in later generations, perhaps the Hidden Dragon Society can be transformed into such a powerful consortium, penetrating from the economy to the West, and in turn, influencing the contract spirit of the West to the East, Thus gradually changing the traditional Chinese clan thinking.

This is Li Qing'an's deliberate decision, and he doesn't know if he can succeed, but he always has to give it a try, he put down the paperwork in his hand, and smiled at Chang Jin: "Now I'm going to take a look at the financial resources of the Tongmasons Association." ”
