Chapter 12: Return and Choice

Li Kuan didn't take his words seriously, how could Li Shimin allow Li Chengqian to live here.

After returning, he and Li Daozong studied the affairs of the royal investment house.

After he asked the Chamber of Commerce to issue the document that angrily attacked the Ministry of Industry, he invited Li Daozong to open this investment bank together.

Invite the royal family to invest together, and invest the money that Li Shimin has deposited in the account of the Chamber of Commerce directly.

This thing is determined to give Li Shimin shares, without the emperor, if he scolds the Ministry of Industry, he Li Kuan will die immediately.

After Li Chengqian handed over the share contract to Empress Changsun, he also told her about his argument with Li Kuan.

Empress Eldest Sun was silent for a moment and let her son step down.

At night, Empress Changsun handed over the share deed to Li Shimin and told Li Shimin her son's narrative.

Li Shimin sighed and said that he knew about it.

Turning his head to look at the share deed, which wrote the current situation of the Royal Investment Bank.

The royal family of the Li family's Taiyuan branch has invested money in it, and there are more or less problems, and their money is all tea money pressed in Li Kuan's private chamber of commerce.

That's why it was established so quickly.

"I always felt that there was some kind of insider in this investment bank."

"Li Kuan, that kid, won't be so simple."

Li Shimin frowned and said softly.

Empress Eldest Sun shook her head, she didn't understand this.

A similar question was also asked by Li Daozong at dinner.

Li Kuan smiled and said: "Uncle Wang, you said that if we can secretly control 80% of the wealth of this country, even if the Li family collapses in which era, will we royal families be afraid?" ”

Li Daozong frowned, what did he mean by this.

"The royal family, only by mastering the core technology can it last forever."

"If you want to make money, you have to master the technology, otherwise, the money will not be stable."

What Li Kuan said was meaningful, and Li Daozong said that he didn't understand.

Later, Li Kuan didn't explain anything anymore, anyway, he wouldn't cheat the Li family, on the contrary, he supported the feudal rule of the Li family more than anyone else.

Quyuan plough was pushed to all parts of the Tang Dynasty, Li Kuan did not get a little reputation, and the Ministry of Industry and some families directly eliminated Li Kuan's figure in silence.

For these, Li Kuan doesn't mind,

It doesn't matter, his daily life is very interesting, eating delicious food, playing fun, summarizing the rice planting situation in the field, and summarizing the results of manure.

Farming is something that needs to be done slowly and over time.

For Li Kuan, the only bad thing is that there is a follower Li Xueyan by his side, this little girl still follows him every day after Li Daozong returned to Chang'an to be the secretary of the criminal department.

Li Kuan had no choice but to let her join the ranks of the summary, and promised her that the book would be published in the future, and she would have a name.

During this time, because Li Gang was sometimes too bored, he opened another school to teach the children of Chuzhuang.

There is no tuition, you only need to bring your own pen and paper, and you can give two pieces of meat or a few catties of rice as a gift.

Li Gang himself got a few acres of land behind the school, and he was farming without anything, in his words, when the crops grew next year, he wouldn't even eat the Chu Palace.

If he lived, he moved there after the school was built.

In the words of the old man, he is not the teacher of the King of Chu alone, and he can no longer live in the Mansion of the King of Chu.

Seeing this situation, Li Kuan deliberately repaired the house where he lived again, and put all the things such as the fire kang up, for fear that the old man would have cold legs.

Li Gang felt that there was no need, as a great Confucian, who had not yet found a deep mountain and old forest to study in the situation.

The Confucian students in the Tang Dynasty were all relatively capable of fighting, and Li Gang also exercised when he was young, otherwise it would not be possible to teach everywhere now.

Li Kuan scoffed at Lao Li Yunneng's performance, but Li Gang said with a smile: "The old man was the same as Fang Xuanling when he was young. ”

Hearing this, Li Kuan fell silent, and dared to compare Fang Xuanling, that old Li still had two brushes when he was young.

What is the situation of Fang Xuanling, riding alone to capture Zhang Liang, a fighter in Wenchen.

Li Kuan looked at the situation in the school, and privately sponsored a bunch of pens and papers from his own pocket, so that the people in the Zhuangzi were grateful.

However, Li Kuan doesn't care about this, after all, this is his own Zhuangzi, and they have to pay taxes on their own output.

In the blink of an eye, in September of the Zhenguan year, the weather gradually turned cooler, and Li Xiaogong returned.

And brought back a lot of table salt.

After tens of thousands of stones of salt were personally inspected by Li Shimin, the first industry under the name of the Royal Investment Bank was sea salt processing.

At the same time, a large amount of low-priced salt was sold into the army, and immediately the imperial history impeached the royal investment bank to compete with the people for profit.

In the face of this impeachment, Li Xiaogong raised his sword to the palace and pointed at the imperial history.

"Can't the royal family make money yet?"

"Isn't the royal family qualified to make money yet?"

"We have paid the salt tax, and I don't know if you can pay the tax on the sale in the name of the imperial historian."

The naked questioning made a group of people stunned and dumbfounded, and everyone seemed to realize something.

After Li Xiaogong finished questioning, he knelt down and said with tears in his eyes: "I implore Your Majesty to cancel the tax exemption." ”

"The minister did the salt business to know the harm of the tax exemption."

"If you don't go to the tax court, you have to earn tens of thousands of yuan a year, and if you give this money to the imperial court, you can raise more border troops."

"This Tang Dynasty was defeated by the ministers, Your Majesty, please cherish it."

Li Xiaogong's operation made countless people stunned, what is the situation, I didn't prepare in advance.

After Li Xiaogong, a group of officials from the Li royal family knelt down and asked Li Shimin to cancel the tax exemption.

Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and others followed closely behind and knelt down to plead.

This caught many officials off guard, what is going on?

The general trend is the same, and Li Shimin immediately agreed.

When Li Kuan heard the news, he was stunned.

Then I realized that this was an exchange between the Li royal family and Li Shimin.

The management right of salt belongs to the Royal Investment Bank, that is, the Li royal family, and the Li royal family makes knives for Li Shimin and cuts to the family.

A large part of this commercial tax was immediately recovered.

In ancient times, the commercial tax was not a lack of money, but the existence of tax exemptions that made it impossible for the state to collect them.

This situation where the Li royal family made a knife was directly abolished.

"But is this possible? What does Li Shimin want to use to settle those families? He couldn't kill them all. ”

Li Kuan frowned, there must be something in this.

When Li Xiaogong told the salt how to distribute the benefits, Li Kuan understood.

The right to sell salt in various places was all given to the family, and the Li royal family only ate the money from the processing and sale of salt to distributors.

"Then it's not only the small and medium-sized families and emerging nobles everywhere who are suffering this time."

"The group of people in the Qin Palace, among the emerging nobles, will definitely have to take a bite, and among the emerging nobles, probably only the old department of Li Jiancheng was the one who was offended."

Proper imperial mental technique, Li Kuan didn't expect that the problem of difficult transportation would be solved by Li Shimin like this, which is really interesting.

After this matter was over, Li Kuan looked at Li Xiaogong, and he suddenly thought of one more thing, if this is the case, then can he sell a lot of things along this channel?

The family's business network also seems to be very good.

As for whether it will strengthen the combat effectiveness of the family, it is his business, he is the king of Chu and one of the representatives of the aristocracy.

Of course, Li Kuan will choose to use this network, and he has also looked at the relationship between salt prices in various places, and the family has not made the salt price outrageous, but the people feel that it is a little expensive, and it is acceptable.

How to say this extent, Li Kuan feels that the family is still a little more conscientious than the capitalists, and the distribution network of the family can still be used.
