Li Jing hurriedly helped Lin Feng up, and said kindly: "Aiqing just talk about it." ”

Lin Feng was not polite, and said directly: "Dare to ask Your Majesty what you think of the subjects of other countries?" ”

Li Jing opened his mouth again, and said a "this" and then said no more.

Lin Feng secretly sighed, Li Jing in history was modest and indecisive by nature, and many times he was taken away by the ministers, often according to what the ministers said, and the ministers led by the "five ghosts" and "four murderers" naturally couldn't come up with any good measures to benefit the country and the people.

Take the destruction of Chu as an example, when Bian Hao first entered Changsha, it was a time of famine in Hunan, Bian Hao opened a warehouse to distribute grain, relief to the victims, and won the hearts of the people, so that the Chu people asked to take Bian Hao as the commander, Liu Renzhen captured Yuezhou, "Fu Na surrendered, and people forgot about their deaths", but after the Southern Tang army captured Jianzhou, "the army plundered, and the army was burned; It's the night, the cold rain, the frozen dead pillow each other, and the hope of building a life". After that, Feng Yansi and others, who had returned to the court, in order to boast of the merits of Pingchu, "collected Chu to give funds", and even "those who received the beauty of Hunan gold silk, treasures, cangsu, and even boats, pavilions, flowers and fruits, were all in Jinling, and sent Yang Jixun, the official of the capital, to collect Hunan rents to support the soldiers." Jixun and others are harsh, and the Hunan people are disappointed", which has already foreshadowed the tragedy of Bian Hao's defeat in the future.

Lin Feng immediately continued: "Before, I was trying to destroy Fujian, but it was an unfinished work. In Weichen's view, without him, our dynasty has never regarded the land of other countries as the land of our country, and has no intention of long-term possession. Throughout the dynasties, those who treat the newly occupied land with harsh government will not end well! In the future, if my Datang is determined to be in the world, I must not treat the new land in this way. The first minister asked for a policy on the newly occupied land, starting from the state of Chu, pacifying the territory and the people, reducing taxes and rents, and pacifying the world! ”

The Southern Tang Dynasty's wars against Fujian and Chu within five years ended in victory and then defeat. Huxiang has been established and changed, the land is not opened, and the wealth is scarce and sluggish", "less than ten years, half of the national consumption is consumed". The Southern Tang Dynasty paid a heavy price for this, which became a turning point in the national situation of the Southern Tang Dynasty.

Now, since Lin Feng is here, he must not let the evil consequences of destroying Fujian and Chu be repeated.

Lin Feng's request can be described as a lie, it is all for the country, naturally there is no good reason to refuse, Li Jing sighed slightly, and immediately agreed.

Lin Feng was not exhaustive. In fact, in Lin Feng's plan, tax reduction should be announced to the world as a national policy of the Southern Tang Dynasty and made public, but it is already a very rare thing for Li Jing to open Chrysostom and promise to start implementing it from Chu State.

"The minister would like to ask His Majesty for permission, if through the initial operation of supermarkets and banks, through the application of the Shang Jue Law, a reliable and credible businessman is found, please allow His Majesty to allow Wei Chen to make the first attempt in the war to destroy Chu, and let him be responsible for the transportation of grain, grass and weapons with the future mine and Lin Ze income as collateral!" Lin Feng then said his own steps for the construction of a commercial army.

"Lin Aiqing, when is the supermarket ready to start? What about banks? Li Jing didn't answer directly, but asked rhetorically.

"The main building of the supermarket is about to be completed, but it is expected to open in a month, taking into account matters such as interior decoration, preparation of goods, and training of store staff. If the negotiation is suspended, the bank will also open at the same time. Lin Feng bowed and replied.

"How is the banking sector ready to operate?" Li Jing was obviously very interested in the bank and continued to ask.

Lin Feng did not answer directly, but first threw out his theory that a country's life cycle follows the development path of "trade-industry-finance" again, which shocked Li Jing and Li Jingsui again, and subconsciously strengthened their understanding of the importance of banking business by three points.

"Wechen plans to take 3 million guan as the initial shares, take the supermarket as the first business pilot, and at the same time, fully roll out the construction in the whole city of Jinling and the major state capitals in the whole territory. The banking business first started with simple remote deposits and withdrawals, then to guaranteed loans, and then to the people's small deposits and withdrawals, and finally developed into the main platform and weapon for future financial wars! When he got here, Lin Feng didn't care whether the two of them could understand it or not, and directly stacked out a lot of nouns. He just wanted to instill a consciousness in the subconscious of these two monarchs and ministers: the banking industry is a very profound knowledge, and ordinary people should not easily rub their feet into it.

Starting from three million guan, Li Jing and Li Jingsui began to be dumbfounded, this Southern Tang Dynasty is known as strong, and the annual income is only seven million guan. After that, a large number of unfamiliar terms made the two look at each other, and they were a little afraid to speak. In Li Jing's subconscious, he really had the idea of nationalizing the bank.

Seeing the appearance of the two of them, Lin Feng knew that his intimidation had played a certain role, and he immediately continued to follow the original line of thought: "Wechen has always suggested that the banking business should be funded by private businessmen, and its ultimate purpose is to help and pave the way for the country to calm the world in the future. Wechen also thought that the banking industry would be presided over by me Tang, but I was afraid that in this way, when the bank entered other countries, it would be wantonly blocked or even banned by other countries, and we would lose more than we gained. ”

Lin Feng's intention is also very simple, that is, he must not let the bank become a tool for Li Jing and even some powerful ministers to seek personal harm to the country.

"Lin Aiqing thinks about it very much, but if I can't control such a critical business, I'm afraid it will be bad for the future." Of course, Li Jing did not give up and continued.

"It's very simple, Wechen's suggestion is to find an agent!" Only then did Lin Feng say his own solution.

"Agent?" This new term immediately made Li Jing and Li Jingsui a little confused.

"Yes, the agent, which can also be called a broker or an authorized representative, is secretly funded by the imperial court, and then secretly finds a businessman who is honest and fair, and has a reliable character, participates in the bank in his name, and guarantees to become a weighted shareholder of the bank. In this way, we can not only ensure our control over the bank, but also avoid the hostility of other countries. Lin Feng talked eloquently.

At this time, Li Jingsui suddenly interjected: "Will the names of the bank's shareholders be announced to the outside world?" ”

"Of course not, it will be classified as the top secret of the bank. However, on the bright side, it is still necessary to launch some wealthy businessmen on the market as a cover. Lin Feng explained. In Lin Feng's view, even if the composition of the bank's shareholders is innocent and transparent, others will speculate for no reason, so it is better to make a mess at the beginning.

"Your Majesty, the minister suggests that Lin Feng be the agent of this agent." Li Jing then bowed to Li Jing and said. His consideration is also that he is very good at small calculations, this agent is very important, and outsiders who find a small rich businessman will not believe it, and he will not dare to trust it; If you find a well-known wealthy businessman in the country, it is easy to lose control and expose your stuffing; As for the banking business, no one is more familiar than the proponent Lin Feng, besides, Lin Feng is a newcomer to Nantang alone, and he does not have deep roots and thousands of relationships in the local area, so he will naturally be easier to control in the future.

Li Jing's eyes immediately lit up when he heard this, and he stared at Lin Feng.

Lin Feng was stunned on the surface and did not answer, but in his heart he was ecstatic, you don't understand the extreme importance of the bank's future, and you easily want to send the right to speak to yourself, then at least your own capital to protect your life will naturally be more sufficient in the future.

The topic did not go deeper. Lin Feng then talked about his idea of the source of the shares: the imperial court contributed 1 million guan, Zhou Zong contributed 500,000 guan, and other businessmen collected 1.5 million guan, so that the imperial court would have the lion's share. If the shares are expanded in the future, the imperial court has the right to give priority to investing funds to purchase the new shares at a preferential low price, and can ensure that it will continue to occupy the largest shareholder.

Li Jing and Li Jingsui glanced at each other, and they both nodded lightly, this idea is good, it can keep the right to speak in the imperial court forever! Take 10,000 steps back and say, as long as the Datang army is firmly in hand, what funds can run away? Immediately, the two of them made Lin Feng's idea of being this agent even worse.
