A scholar of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty

"What's wrong?" Gu Qing asked Wu Mei.

"Money can't be transferred." Wu Mei said in a low voice, "If we can only use our capital to add to the flow, it can last for four or five years."

"I see." Gu Qing nodded, "You can see the return money next year, don't worry! The academy's money can't be left behind, every penny must be paid, and the construction of the port can't stop. I know you are under a lot of pressure, but If we don’t resist now, the road ahead will be narrow.”

"I understand." Wu Mei smiled and said to Gu Qing, "Even if we live in poverty, we can't let go of the academy and the port."

Gu Qing nodded, "No one can resist except us, as long as we carry it, many people can rest assured."

Wu Mei knows Gu Qing's obsession, and in Gu Qing's heart, many things can be let go, except for some things that can't be done. Even if it is business, Gu Qing should delegate power, and some interests can be surrendered but will not be disputed, but the whole academy is just for Gu Qing. The obsession in Gu Qing's heart is like a kind of stubbornness and persistence. No matter how much money is spent, the academy must continue to operate normally, as well as the construction of the port. Gu Qing will never let go of these two things.

Even if it is a factory, the profit of the factory has been declining over the years, but the factory would rather lose money and keep the factory open.

Li Zhi heard the conversation between Wu Mei and Gu Qing, pretending not to care, and still playing with little Gu Xiao with building blocks.

On the second day, Li Zhi came to the Maritime Trade Department early and saw Shangguanyi who was frowning, "Uncle Shangguan, is there something on your mind?"

"Talked with Chu Suiliang about money." Shangguanyi said.

"Chu Suiliang?" Li Zhi said, "Chu Suiliang went to see Gu Qing yesterday."

Shangguanyi nodded slightly, "It seems that Chu Suiliang has also noticed that there are problems with Datang's money now."

Li Zhi had heard the conversation between Gu Qing and Li Ran yesterday, as well as the conversation between Wu Mei and Gu Qing, and said to Shangguanyi: "Actually, I overheard the conversation between Gu Qing and the head of the Li family in Zhaojun yesterday, and they also noticed gone."

"Gu Qing also noticed it?"

Li Zhi nodded, "I don't mean to be aware of it, Gu Qing has already discovered the problem, and this problem has already been revealed in the Gu family."

"As expected, something will happen." Shangguanyi looked serious.

"But Uncle Shangguan, don't worry, Gu Qing said yesterday that even if life is hard, factories, colleges, and ports can't all fall, he will take care of it." Li Zhi said.

"Hold it? It's not easy. Once there is a problem in the general situation, Gu Qing can't solve it alone." Shangguanyi said, "How many years can Gu Qing carry it? Treat the symptoms, not the root cause."

"Uncle Shangguan, there is something that I don't understand what Gu Qing means." Li Zhi said in a low voice, "Gu Qing said to open a bank, the number one bank in the world?"

"Qian Zhuang?" Shangguanyi was puzzled, "Is he going to collect the world's money?"

"Uncle Shangguan, it's not what you think." Li Zhi quickly explained, "This bank is a bit special, unlike today's bank! And Gu Qing also said that he can't open his mouth to be a bank, otherwise he won't live long. What are you waiting for?"

"Wait?"

"Correct."

When Li Zhi said this, Shangguanyi roughly understood, "I understand, Gu Qing wants to speak to the court, right?"

"Maybe." Li Zhi continued, "The No. [-] bank in the world is very big. Gu Qing said that it can reverse the current situation, but it will open to other small countries. I don't understand some of the words. It is in charge of the world's money. Tax, what does Gu Qing mean by saying that?"

Shangguanyi quickly thought about what Gu Qing meant, the number one bank in the world!In charge of the world's money and taxes?Thinking of this, Shangguanyi immediately took out the large map of the Central Plains. This map was used by the Maritime Trade Department to stop the waterway. It seemed to have found a new gate. Chang'an as the center has been extended to outside the pass.

Finding his thoughts, Shangguanyi smiled, "I know what Gu Qing is planning. If the business is sucking the blood of those small countries to come to Datang, then the entire Central Plains No. [-] Bank is gnawing at the flesh of these small countries."

"Uncle Shangguan, what do you mean by this?" Li Zhi asked doubtfully.

"Hahaha." Shangguanyi laughed suddenly, "Gu Qing's appetite has always been quite large. The number one bank in the world is not in charge of money from the Central Plains. If His Royal Highness Jin Wang thinks about it carefully, if Tubo, Persia, Tianzhu, all the money in these small countries What will it look like if it falls into the hands of the number one bank in the world, Gu Qing is so scheming!"

Li Zhi was a little confused.

Shangguanyi went on to say, "Tubo, Persia, Tianzhu, Goguryeo, and Japan, when the people of these small countries start saving money in the world's number one bank, all the money of their people is under the control of our Tang Dynasty. I don’t even dare to think of a strategy, Gu Qing is really daring!”

Li Zhi was also thinking that with Shangguanyi's words, the business only earned a difference in price from people from other countries, which benefited many people in the Tang Dynasty, including many nobles in the Western Regions.

If you open a bank in another country, you only need to give enough benefits to make the people of other countries come to Datang's bank to save money, until you completely control the wealth of these small countries, control the taxation of other countries, what is the treasury, and control the money of those people. It is a real big head, and can even empty out the money of other countries in an instant, making everyone lose money.

Salary from the bottom of the pot?

"I'll give this idea to Chu Suiliang, and let Chu Suiliang do it." Shangguanyi immediately spread out his pen, ink and paper, "This matter must be done immediately, at least let Chu Suiliang do it first, as long as there is this The future of Qianzhuang Datang will be very easy.”

There are some things that Li Zhi doesn't understand, and he is not very good at political affairs. What he has heard most from Gu Qing since childhood is business, but it can be said that he has almost never done government affairs.

Gu family

Fan Jian stood beside Gu Qing and said, "Patriarch, Shangguanyi and His Royal Highness King Jin are in the Maritime Trade Department today, it seems that Shangguanyi should know about it."

Chapter 9 Thirteen

Li Zhi was asked to spread the news to let Shangguanyi know. As long as Shangguanyi knew about it, Chu Suiliang would know about it. Gu Qing said calmly, "I didn't say anything, so don't talk nonsense."

"The villain didn't hear anything." Fan Jian smiled and nodded.

Li Ran came to Gu's house again, chatting and laughing with Wu Mei, and really couldn't understand how these two women had so much to talk about.

"What are you talking about?" Gu Qing walked to the side of the two women.

"Talk about the situation." Li Ran said without hesitation, "Our Li family in Zhao County can count on your Gu Qing's methods to revitalize the current situation."

"Actually, you just have to wait for the good news." Gu Qing and Li Ran kept their distance from this woman, something was wrong.

Li Ran covered his mouth and smiled winkingly, "The matter hasn't turned around, how can I go back with peace of mind, Lord Gu, am I right?"

Here it is again with this look, still in front of Wu Mei.

"By the way, I remember that the kid wants to eat fried chestnuts with sugar." Gu Qing found an excuse to leave in a hurry. The more dangerous the woman, the farther the better. This Li Ran is decisive in his actions. woman.

Now that the news has been spread through Li Zhi's hands, the matter of the bank just needs to wait for the court to slowly ferment.

Zhang Yugong and a group of brothers under him have already entered the village and become the daily guards of the village. This group of killers who were originally from the Qing Gang are already familiar with the way. They have been guarding the village for many years. It is the place they are most familiar with.

Gu Xiao walked in the village and asked Zhang Yugong who was by his side, "Uncle Zhang, are you very good?"

"Yeah." Zhang Yu nodded with a blushing face.

"At that time, my father was more powerful than you." Little Gu Xiao asked again.

"The Patriarch is amazing." Zhang Yu replied without hesitation.

"But my father's skill is not good at all. It takes a long time for him to kill a chicken."

Zhang Yugong patiently said to little Gu Xiao, "People with great strength are very powerful. Wouldn't it be even more powerful if they could command people with stronger strength than themselves?"

"Have you been helping my father before? Why haven't I seen you before."

"There are many people around the Patriarch, and the young master has not seen them yet." Zhang Yugong said as he walked, "When the young master grows up, he will naturally know how many people follow the Patriarch."

"Does that mean that the more people follow me, the more powerful I am?"

"That's not the case." Zhang Yugong shook his head, "There are not many people, how many people followed Xiang Yu back then? But it's still not defeated by Liu Bang."
