As soon as the shouting guy finished speaking, he immediately attracted a violent beating from Cheng Huailiang, Li Yong and others, only to see them scolding while fighting: "Bastard, my Tang Dynasty soldiers are at their peak, how can I not beat a little Gaochang?" ”

Although Cheng Huailiang and Li Yong's beating was just a joke, the people in the audience all despised the guys who went to the house, and even the few big businessmen at the back secretly showed mocking eyes. Since the beginning of the founding of the Tang Dynasty, it has almost swept the world to pacify the internal wars in the Central Plains, and then in the foreign wars, it has won a hundred battles, Tuyuhun, Turkic, Goguryeo and Tubo have all been defeated under the iron hooves of the Tang Dynasty. None of these countries are much stronger than the small Gaochang, even if there is a Western Turk next to it, but in the eyes of the Tang people, the Western Turk is just a sick man who is struggling to survive, and it is not worth mentioning at all.

A series of victories have already made Datang's army an undefeated myth in the hearts of the people, so as long as Datang sends troops, almost everyone has already decided that the victory is in hand, the difference is only in the length of time this war has been going on, and the number of casualties.

It was with this confidence that I saw someone in the audience stand up and shout: "Your Highness, although Qian is just a businessman, he also has a heart for the country and the people, since the court agrees to buy and sell the land of Gaochang Kingdom, the villain is willing to support the imperial court's measures even if he is bankrupt, so the grass people are willing to pay 100,000 yuan and subscribe for 1,000 land coupons!" ”

The person who stood up and spoke, Li Su, knew that this person's name was Qian Gui, a businessman who actively supported the development of industry and commerce, and was also a hardcore supporter of himself, and now with his strong net worth, he opened several huge textile factories, and also served as the vice president of the Textile Industry Association, and his prestige among businessmen was only below Wang Zihao.

Hearing that Qian Gui took out 100,000 yuan at once. Everyone gasped. This is not a small amount, in the past, he could be called a wealthy businessman with a lot of money, but now with the development of industry and commerce. There are more and more people with a net worth of 100,000 yuan, but there are not many people who can take out 100,000 yuan at once, but there are not many people in the whole Chang'an.

With money, expensive take the lead. Others are naturally not willing to be left behind, but compared to the rich net worth, few people can come up with 100,000 guan at once, even Cheng Huailiang and Yanbei, the upstarts of the family, only took out 50,000 guan. This is not to say that they are not as expensive as Qian in terms of financial resources, on the contrary, the financial resources of the family behind them are more than ten times more expensive than Qian, but Cheng Huailiang and them are the younger generations of the family. There is only so much money that is allowed to be used at one time, and when they go back, if they can talk about the elders of the clan. Only then will the real financial resources of their clan be used.

The atmosphere of buying land vouchers was very enthusiastic. Even the brother who was beaten bought 30,000 yuan of land vouchers. As the initiator, Li Su was naturally not willing to be left behind, and took out a huge sum of 150,000 yuan at once, a total of 54 people participated in this meeting, and finally after statistics, a total of 2.23 million yuan of land coupons were purchased.

That night, when Li Su entered the palace late and told Li Shimin the good news, he jumped up directly with joy as a result, and after a few turns, he grabbed Li Su's shoulders and asked three or four times in a row, and finally made sure that he had heard correctly, so he sat on the chair and muttered to himself, looking incredulous.

In fact, it is no wonder that Li Shimin is so excited, because during the battle to destroy Goguryeo, the total cost of the Tang Dynasty was only 1.8 million guan, and even with the compensation for the death soldiers, it was just over 2 million guan. But now it is just that Li Yu bought out some land in Gaochang in advance, and raised more than two million guan at once, not to mention fighting Gaochang, it is enough to destroy the Western Turks by the way, after all, the Turks are not like Goguryeo, there are not so many cities to defend, as long as they defeat the opponent's sharpness, they have almost laid a victory situation.

Seeing that Li Shimin was so happy that he couldn't even find the north, Li Su pouted, secretly laughed at Li Shimin for not seeing the world, and raising money from Cheng Huailiang and them was just the first step for him to issue land vouchers, and it was also the preliminary preparation for fundraising, and the real beginning was later.

After Li Shimin's excitement passed, Li Su originally wanted to talk about his next plan, but Li Shimin waved his hand and said with a look of trust: "Liulang, if you have any means, although the money for the war is enough now, the court is using money everywhere, and they can be more comfortable with their fathers and ministers!" ”

"Father, rest assured, the sons will do their best to arouse the war enthusiasm of the people of our Tang Dynasty, and with the financial resources of the whole country, they will definitely be able to eliminate the threat of Xichang and the Turks!" Li Su also said with a firm face.

That night, Li Su was very rare and didn't sleep all night, Wen'er and Hua'er were even more surprised to find that their prince had been writing all night, serving Li Su for two years, they still found him so diligent for the first time, and even Wenxin was shocked in the end, and got up in the middle of the night to make a simple supper for her husband, and asked him if he was stimulated by anything? Li Su couldn't cry or laugh, and explained for a long time before Wen Xin fell asleep again.

As soon as the newspaper office went to work the next day, Li Su rushed into Yanbei's office, handed him the article he had been busy with for most of the night, and told him to put it on the front page. And when Yanbei saw the report sent by Li Su, he was also very surprised, he didn't understand what he was going to do, and just wanted to ask to understand, but Li Su left in a hurry, so he had no choice but to do it.

After Li Su left the newspaper office, he did not go back to the palace, but went to Dengxian Tower, had some breakfast casually, and then went to the Datang Bank diagonally opposite Dengxian Tower. The so-called Datang Bank, its predecessor was the Dengzhou Bank created by Xijun in order to meet the needs of the Goguryeo battlefield.

At that time, there were many soldiers who deposited money in this bank, and among the soldiers who participated in the war, a considerable part of them were transferred from Guanzhong, so in order to facilitate the soldiers to withdraw money, Xijun set up a branch in Chang'an, but with the development of banking business, the role of the bank is more and more valued, and the name of Dengzhou Bank is a bit narrow, so some time ago it was just renamed Datang Bank, and the headquarters of Dengzhou was moved to Chang'an, and some time ago it was also advertised in the Industrial and Commercial Daily and Datang Daily.

The bank was originally founded by Xijun, but because she was pregnant, Li Su naturally would not let her worry about these things anymore, Wang Zihao was even more distressed about his daughter and unborn grandson, and took the initiative to provoke the daily management of Datang Bank.

The headquarters of Chang'an Bank is a three-storey high-rise building, which is still mainly a wooden structure, Li Su is very dissatisfied with this, so in the vacant land next to this high-rise building, a headquarters building of Datang Bank is being built, the architectural style of this building is still based on the style of the Tang Dynasty, but the main structure has all become reinforced concrete, after all, the height of the building is set at four floors, if you don't use steel bars, only concrete can not support it at all, fortunately, now the output of steel has increased greatly, plus Li Su's identity, It is not difficult to make a batch of steel bars, of course, Li Yu did not forget to build a huge and sturdy vault under the building, and the surrounding walls are poured with three layers of concrete, even if gunpowder is used to blow up, it is estimated that it will not have much effect.

Although the current Datang Bank is only a building, it has three doors underneath, and there are several high counters in each door, which are exactly the same as those in the pawnshop. The reason why the three gates are opened is to correspond to the three main businesses of the bank.

The first two businesses are naturally the most basic functions of the bank, that is, depositing and withdrawing money. With the good reputation of the bank on the battlefield of Goguryeo, more and more soldiers and generals were willing to deposit their military salaries in the bank, so as to avoid the trouble of keeping it, and secondly, when there was no cash in their hands, they could also avoid taking the money around them to drink or gamble because their brains were hot.

It was precisely because of the good reputation he had established in the army, coupled with the fact that Li Su made great efforts to publicize it in the newspapers, that more and more ordinary people accepted the new thing of the bank and were willing to deposit the surplus money in the bank. It's just that unlike later generations, the interest rate of Datang Bank is extremely low, and the interest on money that has always been saved for a few years may end up at a few pennies, and the reason for this situation is still related to the underdevelopment of the loan business.

The third gate under Datang Bank is the corresponding loan business, but because of the risk of the loan, the business scope of the loan is not wide, if the general businessman wants to borrow money if the capital turnover is not open, he must find the industry association of the industry, and the association must also be recognized by the bank, and then the association will come forward to make a guarantee, and then go through a series of complicated procedures to get the loan to apply.

It is precisely because the conditions of the loan are too harsh, so although the interest rate of the bank loan is very low, there are not many people who can borrow money, and the loan business is naturally affected. However, there is no way to do it, the money in the bank is someone else's, if it is released and cannot be recovered, it will not only affect the reputation of the bank, but may even make the nascent banking industry die, so the early business is still cautious and steady.

Li Su bypassed the crowd queuing in front of the three gates, and just wanted to enter through the small door next to it that was only for internal staff to enter and exit, but suddenly heard a noisy noise in the middle of the gate to withdraw money, and before he could understand what was going on, he heard a 'ping-pong' sound inside, and then a figure rushed out of the door, and ran out of more than ten meters in the blink of an eye.

"Grab ...... Robbing a bank? Li Su was dumbfounded, he didn't expect that something he had never encountered in his previous life would actually be witnessed in this era of Datang.
