I receive courier in Datang

Chapter 136 Lightning Rod

"Can't you add a little bit of your own design? Although there are a lot of things in the world, if you modify it anyway, it will be considered your own!" Li Chengqian said.

Lu Zihou was puzzled: "What you said is unreasonable. The treasury bills were designed by the Ministry of Industry. Naturally, they are the most advanced design in our Tang Dynasty. I still make Feiqian, which is naturally the most advanced."

Li Chengqian was furious immediately: "This is not advanced at all. Others copied it if they wanted to. What if there are fake Feiqian?"

Lu Zihou was stunned, indeed, what if there are fake ones?
"But, isn't there any fear of fake treasury bills?" Lu Zihou asked. ,

"Of course I'm scared, but other people's treasury bills are completely different from your flying money.

Residents of Chang'an City need to use their own account cards to exchange for treasury bonds, and then they can exchange them with their account cards.

But what about your flying money?If it is the same, it is not very troublesome, it is better to use ordinary money. "

Li Chengqian said.

Lu Zihou fell into deep thought, he didn't know what to do.

"Your Highness, do you have any ideas?" Lu Zihou asked.

"Of course there are, we can make watermarks." Li Chengqian said.

"The watermark is..."

"The watermark is facing the light, and you can see the slightly brighter words, and those words are the watermark." Li Chengqian said.

"So that's it. It sounds really high-end, so how did you make it?" Lu Zihou asked.

"I don't know about this. You can research it yourself. If you research it, your flying money will be great." Li Chengqian said.

"Negative emotion value from Lu Zihou, +159"

He was convinced by Li Chengqian, he didn't know what he said was so true, he believed it, okay?
"Since this is the case, I will let people continue to study. I will let the people who cooperate with our chamber of commerce use this flying money first. Anyway, it will only be used in large-value transactions, and fake ones will be easy to spot." Lu Zihou said.

"It's true, then your flying money is not money, it's a check." Li Chengqian said.

"Cheque? Good name. From now on, this will be called a cheque." Lu Zihou said.

After speaking, he took the flying money and left.

Li Chengqian actually knew how to make the watermark, but he didn't say it.

After all, he doesn't have enough money now. To issue banknotes, the most important thing is to improve the credibility of banknotes.

People will only use banknotes if they really know that they can be used, otherwise, banknotes are waste paper.

Moreover, he didn't want Lu Zihou to do such things as printing money.

This kind of thing is a matter of the state. If Lu Zihou did it, he would violate the laws of the Tang Dynasty and be sent to jail.

However, the matter of checks and treasury bills shocked Li Chengqian, and he decided to use this method to make money.

To open a bank, you need a large sum of money as start-up capital, otherwise, you will not be eligible.

In view of the fact that there is no relevant system now, it is almost a white wolf with empty hands, and he can't wait.

It's like feeling like money is being dropped from the sky!
He gave an order to ask the left and right guards to look for someone who used to do business at home.

No one wants to admit this, after all, being a businessman is not a good job.

Finally, someone came.

"What's your name? Where are you from?" Li Chengqian asked.

"Zhao Cai, left guard."

"Very good, you are going to get rich!" Li Chengqian said.

This matter must be done by someone who is loyal to him. Obviously, Zhao Cai, the left guard, is a very good candidate.

Zhao Cai was very surprised, why didn't Li Chengqian ask him about his own business?

It's not that Li Chengqian doesn't ask, but he is confident. He is very confident in himself.

As for Zhao Cai, he was just his spokesperson, he couldn't go out and show his face by himself.

He didn't want to do it alone, he had to find a partner.

Finally, he found a perfect partner, his mother.

In fact, although the salaries of empresses and concubines are high, they are far from being able to afford their huge expenses.

He mainly relies on his own business. Of course, with his own identity, he can make a lot of money by allowing his own business to go all the way.

Empress Changsun is no exception. There are many restaurants, shops, and brothels in the city, all of which are her businesses.

Naturally, the money earned is a lot, and no one said anything, after all, this is a normal business.

Ganlu Temple.

"Mother, great news! I thought of a good way to make money, and I specially asked you to cooperate." Li Chengqian said.

"You have a very sweet mouth, don't you want to use the tiger's skin as a banner with me?" said Empress Changsun.

Li Chengqian was a little embarrassed.

"My money-making plan is called a bank. I borrow money from common people with very little interest, and then lend the money to merchants and the like at higher interest rates. In this way, I can make sure that I don't lose money!"

Li Chengqian said.

Empress Changsun frowned: "Are you going to do such outrageous things as usury?"

"It's not usury, it's a loan, and the interest is completely acceptable." Li Chengqian said.

"Anyway, usury is wrong, I won't help you." Empress Changsun said.

Li Chengqian could only start to explain well.

"This loan is actually a good news for many people. They are struggling with cash flow and need money. I will give them to solve their urgent needs. They only need to pay some interest. Why not do it?
I guarantee that the interest rate will not be high, of course, it will be much higher than the interest rate on deposits of ordinary people. "

"What do you mean by deposit?" Queen Changsun asked.

"It's borrowing money from the common people with very low interest." Li Chengqian said.

Empress Changsun said: "You really have a lot of ideas, but if the people of the whole country deposit with you, can you afford the interest? I'm afraid you will die of poverty by then."

Li Chengqian shook his head: "If everyone saves money with me, I will be rich like a country. The interest is a small thing. No matter how bad it is, I can invest in myself!"

He has many ways to make money in his heart, but he lacks start-up funds.

"So, how to cooperate?" Queen Changsun asked.

"Mom, if you think I'm pitiful, you can pay me some money. Of course, it's okay to just name the name without paying the money." Li Chengqian said.

"What you said is so pitiful, I'll just pay some money, how about a hundred thousand?" Empress Changsun said.

"Okay, mother, you can just lie down and make money." Li Chengqian said.

Empress Changsun gave Li Chengqian a blank look: "Just don't cause me any trouble!"

"Will not."

Chang'an Bank started preparations, but at this moment, a system prompt shocked Li Chengqian.

"The catastrophe will come in three days, congratulations..."

"???"

Three months has come so fast, he is not ready yet!
Don't be too cheating on the task of the various schools of thought!He just can't finish it.

"Heavenly Tribulation, it should be thunder. If that's the case, I might as well just build a lightning rod." Li Chengqian thought.

Thinking of this, he had an idea.

In charge of the Ministry of Metallurgy.

Liu Fan, Si Cheng of the Metallurgical Department, was a little surprised when he saw Li Chengqian.

"If Your Highness wants to see the lower officials, you can summon the lower officials, why come to the Zhangye Department?" Liu Fan said.

"Don't talk about these useless things. I want to build a big thing in the square next to Dongshi. You must help me build it within three days." Li Chengqian said.

"What does Your Highness want to make?" Liu Fan asked.

"I want to build a huge lightning rod and use it as an experiment." Li Chengqian said.

Liu Fan: "..."

"What kind of experiment?" Liu Fan asked.
