Datang: Encouraging Li Er to rebel, being overheard

Chapter 45 Opening a Bank in Datang
"Okay, the eldest prince has made it very clear before, those people are still so ignorant, they really should be taught a lesson."

While talking, Cheng Yaojin looked down at the bed and laughed.

After chatting with Li Chengqian for a while, he said goodbye and went back to the restaurant.

After everyone left, Li Shimin looked at Li Chengqian, who had a worried expression, smiled softly, patted Sim Mengsi under him, and said lightly.

"Chengqian, make more of this kind of thing in the future, the palace needs it very much."

This sentence was so necessary that the corners of Li Chengqian's mouth twitched slightly, and he couldn't help rolling his eyes, really too lazy to expose it.

[I think you want to enjoy it yourself, maybe you will use this as a reward for the ministers. 】

[Afterwards, this thing will be crowned with the name of an imperial gift, and it will be very cost-effective to give motivation to those ministers with the least price? 】

Obviously, Li Shimin didn't expect that his thoughts would be exposed by Li Chengqian.

However, regarding Li Chengqian's heartless voice, Li Shimin still looked at Li Chengqian calmly, waiting for him to respond.

With an embarrassed smile, Li Chengqian nodded.

"It's normal for a son to respect Lao Tzu, don't worry, if you want to tell my minister, I will definitely give it to you with both hands."

[Although that's what I said, if you don't have money, you can wait for the construction period slowly. If I delay it for a year or so, it should be fine. 】

[After all, besides the locust plague, there will be drought and those Turks who are eyeing you. I don't believe you can devote your attention to my project. 】

"Well, even though you are a member of my own family, I can't treat you badly. I have to settle the accounts properly. I will give you 50 taels of silver for a bed like this. What do you think?"

How dare Li Chengqian say no, but the price is indeed within his acceptable range.

After all, the cost price is only 15 taels of silver according to what people say.

Immediately patted his chest, Li Chengqian was significantly more motivated than before.

"Father, it doesn't matter if it's money or not. The main reason is to make some contribution to the Tang Dynasty. Of course, I want to offer my son's meager strength."

Then the father and son chatted for a while, and Li Chengqian thought of the benefits that the locust plague had brought to the common people, so he mentioned it to Li Shimin.

Hearing this, Li Shimin couldn't help but smacked his mouth a few times, his eyes filled with emotion, and he looked at Li Chengqian with admiration on his face.

"You rebellious son, this is the first time in history to use this method to deal with the locust plague. I didn't expect the effect to be good."

The locusts, which were supposed to bring disaster to the Tang Dynasty, turned out to be the rations of the people of the Tang Dynasty at this time, especially the taste was not bad, and the price was low, so they were loved by the people.

"In the future, there will be a plague of locusts, maybe the people will cheer for it."

Who would be unhappy if he made money?

It's okay if you don't say anything, but when it comes to this, Li Chengqian scratched his head, hesitated a little, and his face was a little tangled.

"Father, actually, my son thinks that their money should be managed centrally, so that in the face of natural disasters or robbery, the family will not be ruined."

"Centralized management?"

Li Shimin raised his eyebrows, looked at Li Chengqian in astonishment, and felt that he was a bit whimsical.

"You mean the bank? No one wants to put money in the bank. They prefer to keep it themselves."

"No, what I'm talking about is different from the bank. You can put it in and get interest."

Shaking his head, Li Chengqian thought of the banks of later generations, and felt that they could be copied and used.

In this way, the imperial court will also have sufficient funds for daily mobilization.

Immediately facing Li Shimin's astonished gaze, Li Chengqian told him the system he thought of.

[Quickly agree, this will be beneficial to you and not harmful, anyway, I will stand in front of you. 】

[Opening a bank in Datang is exciting just thinking about it. 】

[As long as I get the money in my hands, I can make cannons and muskets, and then all Turks will have to surrender! 】

Li Shimin began to struggle with Li Chengqian's lofty ambitions.

"You mean son, you mean that if you open a bank in the name of the court and save it for a year, 100 taels of silver will become 101 taels of silver?"

"Correct!"

"Then you can take care of this. Those businessmen are not vegetarians, so take it easy."

Li Shimin glanced at Li Chengqian lightly, and said softly.

The four major families also got involved in those banks, and some merchants also had their own banks. Li Chengqian's move was directly against them.

No one knows what kind of backlash will be triggered at that time, and Li Chengqian will be responsible for all of this.

Hearing the worried meaning in Li Shimin's words, Li Chengqian pursed his lips and nodded lightly to express his understanding.

"Father, don't worry, my son knows it well."

"Ah."

The father and son had a long talk, and in the middle of the night, Li Shimin left and asked some people to carry the bed away.

【robber!Just a robber! 】

[I waited so long to make this bed, and it was snatched away before I could sleep all night! 】

【It's so difficult for me! 】

Before Li Shimin left, he could still hear Li Chengqian yelling in the room.

It was rare to see Li Chengqian so angry because of his actions, Li Shimin suddenly felt in a better mood, and his steps became much lighter.

……

in the palace.

Empress Changsun didn't expect that Li Shimin would arrive in the harem so late, and hurriedly came out to greet him after a simple dressing.

"His Majesty."

Seeing Empress Changsun, Li Shimin was in a very good mood. He grabbed Empress Changsun's hand with an excited expression and laughed loudly.

"Hey, Guanyin maidservant, I went to the East Palace, guess what good things I got from Chengqian?"

Empress Changsun, who was still a bit busy at first, heard Li Shimin going to the East Palace, and thought of Li Chengqian, her eyes softened and her red lips were slightly pursed, with a soft smile on her face.

"You, Your Majesty, don't keep cheating Qian. During this period of time, the child is very tired every day, and it looks very hard."

"How old is he? You let him live in the East Palace, and you taught him so many things and let him take care of them. It's really obvious what you mean by establishing a prince."

The wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it.

At the beginning, after Li Shimin ascended the throne, Li Chengqian was allowed to live in the East Palace. Empress Changsun said that, but Li Shimin's attitude was firm at that time, so she didn't mention too much.

Unexpectedly, everything Li Chengqian did during this period was shocking. In addition, the court had not yet completely stabilized, which made Empress Changsun frightened all day long.

"That kid is a ghost, what's the matter, Guanyin maidservant, go, go to my bedroom."

"what?"

"Come on, sleep with me tonight, I got a bed from Nizi, it's very comfortable."

Li Shimin muttered along the way, and when he arrived at Li Shimin's bedroom, Empress Changsun stared at the two-meter bed with rounded eyes.

Before she could react, Li Shimin pulled her to the bed and lay down.

The soft mattress made Empress Changsun exclaim.

"So comfortable."

Li Shimin was taken aback by this exclamation, looking at Empress Changsun, a trace of desire suddenly appeared in his eyes.

……

The next day, Li Chengqian got up early, and on the way early, he heard a commoner sighing on the side of the road.

"There hasn't been a single drop of rain so far. How can I live this day? If this continues, the crops in the field will die of drought."
