I am the cook, but I am Li Er's son-in-law

Seeing that they didn't make a sound, they were thinking about their own calculations in their hearts.

Li Shimin smiled slightly, shaking the banknotes: "I went to Mr. Zhengyang and brought this method of making banknotes. I want to... popularize this method of banknotes in the Tang Dynasty."

This is a good thing.

But these officials in the court hall have some heart attacks—who doesn't know that His Majesty always gets some good things from Zhengyang Gong, but at the same time, he always gives Zhengyang Gong some amazing things, such as Talk about titles, such as fiefdoms or something.

What are you going to give this time?
It's not like... Let's promote Duke Zhengyang to Duke now.

No one dared to speak.

He was afraid that as soon as he opened his mouth, Li Shimin would get off the donkey, and directly said the words "I am going to make Yin Xuan the Duke of the state" out of his mouth.

Li Shimin couldn't help laughing, and then said: "Of course... this method is not for nothing. You are also clear about the temperament of Mr. Zhengyang."

"It has always been lenient to others and does not expect anything in return."

The officials lowered their heads, screaming in their hearts, here they come, this routine is coming again.

"But this time it's different." Li Shimin made a fool of himself, deliberately teased these officials, and then dragged his tone to say the following, "Zhengyang opened his mouth and asked for one... It's a very important thing .”

"He wants to open a bank."

"I think... this is a very good idea, what does Ai Qing think?"

Qianzhuang?

This is a fresh vocabulary, but it does not prevent this group of smart people from understanding it, especially when it is reminiscent of the behavior of those gambling houses under Yin Xuan.

They will understand what this so-called bank is.

Several officials in purple robes frowned after thinking for a while.

Shang Shu Zuo Cheng Di Xiaoxu stood up, cupped his hands, and said softly: "Your Majesty, I think it's not right."

"The matter of the bank is very important. It is not safe to put all the money in the hands of Zhengyang Gong."

"Hide wealth from the people, not from one person."

Although Tongfu Restaurant makes a lot of money, it is earned through formal channels. Yin Xuan can have such a great ability, they can't point at Yin Xuan's nose and tell him not to make so much money...

They are not so shameless.

But Qianzhuang is different.

The common people deposit their money in Yin Xuan's hands - at least there is a cost to doing business, at least there must be entry and exit, although they don't see Yin Xuan going out much.

But the bank is different, that is, it is completely in, and there is no out.

Moreover, based on the people's current worship of Yin Xuan and offering him up as the God of Wealth, it is estimated that many people would be willing to deposit their money in Yin Xuan's bank.

Like the two kings of Silla and Baekje, isn't that the case?
At that time, millions and tens of millions of coins will be deposited in—now it is just a joke to say that Yin Xuan is rich as an enemy, and it is just a description of Yin Xuan's money.

But if the matter of the bank is confirmed, the country that is incomparably rich will really become a country that is incomparably rich.

If Yin Xuan was really going to get some money, they felt that it would be better to give Yin Xuan the title of duke.

At worst, just treat Yin Xuan as a grandfather?
It's better than actually being a grandpa on their necks.

"What Di Zuocheng said is true." Li Shimin nodded, smiled slightly, and continued following his words, "But... there is one thing wrong."

Di Xiaoxu froze for a moment.

How could he be wrong about such an obvious thing.

"The person who did this is not an ordinary person, but Yin Xuan, the well-known Duke of Zhengyang." Li Shimin smiled and spit out such a sentence.

Di Xiaoxu opened his mouth, a little surprised that such words would come out of the mouth of an emperor like Li Shimin.

Giving something that might become a lifeline problem to another person?

The reason for this is simply because... this person is the well-known Duke Zhengyang?
But the problem here is not who should be entrusted with the work of the bank, but that the work of the bank should not be entrusted to others.

Holding it in the hands of the imperial court, no matter how bad it is for Li Shimin, as the emperor, the imperial court can barely accept it if you hold the bank in the hands of the royal family—anyway, when the emperor should be a grandfather, you should ride someone on your head this round When you should be a grandson, you have to be a grandson with the bargaining chip of being a grandfather.

"Your Majesty seems to trust Zhengyang Gong too much." A red-robed censor stood up and spit out such a sentence.

This is still a restrained statement.

But he had already written the words "Your Majesty only favors Duke Zhengyang and disregards the government" on his face.

Li Shimin shook his head and smiled helplessly: "You guys still know too little about Duke Zhengyang."

"If it's just an ordinary bank, would I be willing to delegate power to him?"

After speaking, Li Shimin paused.

"You can guess, Mr. Zhengyang opened such a bank...and promised me something."

The officials looked at each other, staring at each other. How could they guess what Lord Zhengyang was thinking? If they could guess, they wouldn't be surprised by such things as gunpowder and cement.

Li Shimin chuckled: "Zhengyang said that if people deposit money in his bank, not only will they not charge any fees, but they will give them money instead."

"According to what he said, just don't give too much, but it's always given."

give money?

The officials froze for a moment, startled.

What is this operation?
So...how can he make money?

"Besides that, he also spends a sum of at least one million guan from the bank every year to support public school projects." Li Shimin added another sentence.

Not only are there no fees, but money is given to those who save money, and the money is also used to support public schools?

Shouldn't this be pawning all the pants...

This donation of at least one million guan was proposed by Yin Xuan himself-to be honest, taking advantage of Datang so much, Li Shimin also opened up the door for him, which really made him feel embarrassed, and his conscience felt a little bit off up.

Get your attitude out early.

If I make a lot of money in the future, then...they won't be able to intervene.

The officials in the court hall were a little surprised, pinched their fingers, and calculated how much money Yin Xuan would have to pay if he did this.

Li Shimin asked Tang Jian: "Tang Shangshu, you are the Minister of the Household Department, what do you think Zhengyang Gong's behavior means?"

Tang Jian was taken aback.

He is a petty official who gives money, calculates how much the Tang Dynasty has received in taxes this year, and then asks him for money from other departments, and he will give it out.

Do you really think of him as a merchant?
Tang Jian was silent for a long time, he hesitated and spoke uncertainly: "I think that Lord Zhengyang is the most intelligent person in the world, and he will certainly not lose money by doing so."

"It's just... I don't know how this simple act of sending money out makes money."
