Chapter 348: The Emperor's Inheritance

"Why is this happening? And to whom will the merchant owe money? Lees asked.

"That's right." Jiang Lu said, "I have a lot of money now, and I don't need to borrow other people's money at all. ”

Qin An smiled and said, "In this world, there are many rich people, but there are even more people who need to borrow money.

The purpose of borrowing money is to start a business, and after the business is successful, they will pay back the money with interest.

Then the merchant will want to expand the business, so he will borrow money to expand the business, and he will owe money again.

Then continue to be successful, pay back, expand your business, borrow money, and succeed. And so on and on.

So the merchant always owes money, unless he doesn't want to expand his business. ”

I see, everyone suddenly realized.

"Then who will borrow the money?" Jiang Lu asked.

"Banks, of course." "Countries all over the world have banks. No matter who it is, the money is in the bank.

It's like my salary, that is, giving money, is also in the bank. As for banks, there are two business models.

One is a national bank and the other is a private bank.

As long as the state does not fall, the credibility of the national bank will always exist, that is to say, the bank's token is linked to the state, and the country's token is actually linked to money.

The richer the country, the more confident it is, the better the tokens, and people from other countries are willing to do business with you.

I've said that the purpose of business is to tell you that.

But you think that food is the most important thing, and you all go to business, so who will do the work?

However, I am not surprised at all to have such thoughts, because we are a big agricultural country in China.

From the establishment of the Xia Dynasty to the end of the Qing Dynasty, the court was based on agriculture, believing that the people would not oppose the court if they had food, and their country would last forever. ”

"There's nothing wrong with that, right?" Lees said.

"That's true." Qin An said, "For ancient times, this was indeed the case, because their productivity was low, whether it was farming or weaving, it was already very good to solve the problem of food and clothing."

To do business, that requires brains and money.

Therefore, the possibility of poor people becoming merchants is very rare, and ordinary merchants are under the hands of nobles or court officials, and there will be merchants. 33

And the imperial merchants, that is, the merchants who specialize in doing business for the emperor and the royal family, they are called imperial merchants, and they have a lot of power in the business world, and sometimes the court has to open a back door for them? ”

Feng Quji frowned and said, "Imperial Merchant? The Emperor or a member of the royal family. How can there be the idea of competing with the people for profit. ”

Qin An smiled and said, "Because the emperor also asks for money, his three palaces and six courts." It all needs to be rewarded, plus the food and clothing in the palace. There are also repairs to the palace and so on, which cost money.

Half of this money is from the treasury, and half is from the emperor himself, if the emperor's money is enough, he doesn't even need to come out of the treasury, which greatly reduces the pressure on the treasury. ”

Ying Zheng's eyes lit up, and he immediately said: "Don't object, don't object, why oppose it, the emperor has his own money, and he can spend it as he wants." It has nothing to do with the imperial court. ”

Feng Quji and Li Si were embarrassed for a while, which gave them no chance to even object.

"That's right." Qin An nodded and said, "The emperor is rich, and everyone's life is better." Especially after the emperor became the emperor.

After he lost his supreme power, he could only live in the palace for a long time, but staying in the palace required expenses.

If you have money, those palace maids and eunuchs will be obedient to you, if you don't have money, I'm afraid you won't eat well, sleep well, and the health of the palace you live in may not be good. ”

"The Emperor?" Ying Zheng frowned slightly and said, "Why did the emperor say it, isn't it that the emperor has been until he dies?" ”

"It is true that many emperors will die until they die, but each dynasty has the particularity of each dynasty, and each emperor has the thoughts of each emperor.

For example, the founding emperor of the Tang Dynasty was Li Yuan, but the person who helped him lay down the country was his second son Li Shimin.

But this Li Yuan wants to pass on the throne to his eldest son Li Jiancheng, do you say that Li Shimin will be willing in such a situation?

Even if Li Shimin will be willing, will Li Shimin's subordinates be willing? You must know that just one Li Shimin can't defeat the whole world.

Li Shimin must have a group of capable generals to help him defeat Li Tang Jiangshan.

What do you think will happen to this group of subordinates when Li Jiancheng ascends the throne? ”

Li Si frowned and said, "Reward them." ”

Feng Qu shook his head and said, "I also think I will reward them." ”

"Reward them?" Qin An sneered, "Are you guys joking? As the saying goes, once a son of heaven and a courtier.

They are Li Shimin's subordinates, and they must be loyal to Li Shimin, once Li Jiancheng becomes emperor, then the first thing is to deal with this group of people, especially his second brother, Li Shimin. ”

Ying Zheng's face sank, and he said: "He wants to get rid of the people who threaten him, and Li Shimin's threat to Li Jiancheng's throne is very high."

It can be said that Li Shimin wants to be the emperor. With a single shout, he can have a powerful army and take the throne. ”

"That's right." Qin An said, "So Li Shimin's subordinates also know that once Li Jiancheng becomes emperor, their fate will not be much better."

So the conspiracy led to a coup d'état, known as the Xuanwumen Change. Li Shimin killed both his eldest brother and younger brother. In the end, Li Yuan was forced to abdicate and make way for Xian.

Li Yuan became the Empress Taishang, and his life in the palace was not good at all, the only good thing was that the women kept giving birth to a lot of children.

This made Li Shimin a little painful, because this group of people is also his younger brother, although the relationship is not very good, but they are also the same father, and the killed Li Jiancheng brother is Li Shimin's brother of the same father and mother.

If Li Yuan had his own property at that time, even if he didn't have the throne, his life would definitely not be bad.

This one was forced to become the emperor, and there were also those who took the initiative to become the emperor, because they didn't want to be the emperor for the rest of their lives.

Although the emperor's power is supreme, he is also very tired, so they also want to enjoy it in their lifetime. So he gave up the throne to his son.

And such an emperor eats all the silver from the treasury, so he is often impeached by officials after spending too much, and it will be very embarrassing to be the emperor.

The position was given by the emperor, and he had to do his filial piety no matter what he said, but he had to do something when he just ascended the throne, and he needed money to do everything.

If at this time, the emperor has money, it would be better, he has no problem doing anything.

The emperor of Thailand is a very rich person, in Thailand, no matter what industry, basically there are emperor's shares.

That is, as long as this enterprise makes money, the emperor will also make money. ”

Some people died, but not completely......
