Prosperous Tang Blood Blade

Chen Yingdao: "Your Majesty clearly learned that I am worried about this matter, so I plan to build the Datang Tongli Bank. The Datang Tongli Bank will release usury money. The loan money released by my minister is not free, but [-]% interest is charged. , although this is beneficial to farmers, it is also beneficial to humble officials.”

Land and commerce are two important factors for the survival of aristocratic families.In fact, as long as there is a small-scale business, there is a family behind them. Although the family is full of benevolence, righteousness and morality, and businessmen are cheap, but they are all doing it.Just like later generations, holding high the slogan patriotic, but still covered in foreign goods.Hold high love my China, but the whole family immigrated abroad.

Although the words are well said, no one does them.

Li Yuan knew that Chen Ying's [-]% profit was the real price of conscience.He nodded and said, "If that's the case, it's a policy that benefits the people!"

Chen Ying went on to say: "I have also thought about it, the folks in Tang Dynasty are suffering, the people lack medical care and medicine, and I want to open Bo'ai Hospital, so that the whole world can enjoy medical treatment, so that we don't have to suffer from illnesses that cannot be afforded. Suffer, the problem of minor illnesses!"

Chen Ying and Li Yuan had a more in-depth discussion on how to prepare for the establishment of medical care and how to build a bank. Li Yuan felt that Chen Ying seemed to be too fraternal and a little abnormal, but he didn't understand what was really going on for a while.

Li Yuan didn't let go at the time, but had to think about it.

Just when Li Yuan was thinking about Chen Ying wanting to donate his property and open a bank to benefit the people, Li Shimin, who returned to the Chengqian Hall of the Prince of Qin's mansion, was somewhat absent-minded.

Du Ruhui, Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji, Chu Liang and other confidants did not know how to persuade Li Shimin.

Of course, Li Shimin suffered repeated failures, and he was not as disheartened and desperate as the Overlord of Chu.Although Li Shimin was worried, he did not give up the goal in his heart, but worried about how to make a comeback.Li Shimin frowned, looked at Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and the others and said, "Think about it all, how will this king recover?"

"This..." Chu Liang's heart twitched when he heard this.I thought to myself, "Where is this? I have only been on the bench for less than a month. This is unbearable? Last year, Li Jiancheng was tossed by others and hadn't seen Li Yuan for more than three months!"

Just when everyone was frowning, Changsun Wuji said: "Your Highness cannot stay in Chang'an, you must be released!"

"Reason, that's the reason!" Li Shimin said with a wry smile, "But will the emperor agree? At this time, let alone the governor of the king's side, it is better to give the governor of a state than to stay in Chang'an. The king also has the confidence to rebuild the black armored cavalry!"

As the saying goes, it is unintentional to say it, but it sounds intentional.

Li Shimin inadvertently said that he wanted to rebuild the Xuanjia cavalry, but Fang Xuanling suddenly realized: "His Royal Highness, if you want to rebuild the Xuanjia cavalry, you might as well ask someone for help."

Li Shimin said happily, "Who?"

Du Ruhui said: "Lieutenant Liang Guogong!"

Li Shimin said hesitantly: "Look for him, isn't he also at home now?"

"This is different!" Du Ruhui explained: "The Turkic army of 30 to [-] gathered in Dingxiang, and their intentions are unknown. If the Turkic army is not disbanded, our Tang Dynasty will not be safe for a day. If the minister's expectations are not bad, Chen Concubine will definitely send troops. Go north. If Your Highness wants to rebuild the Black Armored Cavalry, you might as well ask His Majesty for an order and learn the method of military training from Prince Chen, and His Majesty will agree to it!"

Li Shimin is also a smart person, he understood what Du Ruhui was really referring to.

Chen's application of soldiers to war is not cunning and unparalleled, at best it is quite satisfactory.The key is that the several large armies under Chen Ying's command, such as the Xiaocai Army, the Modao Army, and the Shesheng Army, are all elites that are unique in a million. Even if the ordinary army is handed over to Chen Ying, Chen Ying will There are also ways to turn a small army into a strong army in a very short period of time.

It may not be easy for Li Shimin to capture Chen Ying's army. If he wants to buy off the generals under Chen Ying's command, once things go wrong, everyone will be embarrassed.

If Chen Yingjun is placed in the inner room again, Li Xiuning may not make it easy for Li Shimin if she is found out. If Li Xiuning loses her temper, she may dare to stab someone with a knife.

Instead, Li Shimin went to learn military training from Chen Ying himself, and Chen Ying could neither refuse nor fool him.

Thinking of this, Li Shimin finally had an idea.

PS: I almost crashed. The computer system had a small problem. It shut down automatically every half an hour, and then it took more than ten minutes. It really crashed. In desperation, I just used my mobile phone to write.

Chapter 13 Let Steel Be the Backbone of Datang ([-] more)

In the face of power, there is no family affection at all.Since ancient times, the emperor's family has been the most ruthless.For the sake of the throne, father and son became enemies, and brothers turned against each other countless times.The emperor can also use his daughter as a political bargaining chip to marry at will, or even marry him.Not to mention a son-in-law, Li Yuanguang has only 25 titled daughters, that is to say, Li Yuan has more than 25 son-in-laws (princesses in the Tang Dynasty can remarry).

If there are many sons-in-law, it is naturally worthless.Li Yuan wondered whether Chen Ying had dug a big hole for him.For Li Yuan, running a hospital, opening a bank, and lending usury are nothing to Li Yuan. The key is to see if there is any hidden secret in it.

As the founding emperor, Li Yuan still has a lot of confidantes. People like Yuwen Shiji, Chen Shuda, Pei Ji, and Xiao Yu are all old and mature. What Li Yuan can't see through for a while doesn't mean they can't see through it.

Therefore, Li Yuan first called this group of confidantes and close friends into the Hall of Wude and held a tea party.If it was before, Pei Ji would have said as much as he had said about Chen Ying's question, but now, he really dare not speak directly.As Li Yuan's son-in-law and Li Jiancheng's confidant, Chen Ying's future is bound to be limitless.

The point is that Li Yuan is already old, and Pei Ji has to consider the way out.Li Yuan will die one day, Li Jiancheng or Li Shimin, no matter who won the final throne, Chen Ying, the pillar of the country, can only be reused, not suppressed.Although I am old, my descendants are no match for Chen Ying. Pei Ji's son, Lawyer Pei, is also Li Yuan's son-in-law, and he married Princess Linhai.He is also brother-in-law with Chen Ying.

However, Lawyer Pei is far inferior to Chen Ying in terms of intelligence and ability. If Lawyer Pei is hated by Chen Yingji in the future, Lawyer Pei will have no way to resist Chen Ying's revenge.

After much deliberation, Pei Ji chose to keep silent.

Chen Shuda is relatively straightforward.He murmured: "Your Majesty, if the bank opened by Consort Chen only charges [-]% of the profit, it would be considered a policy of benefiting the people."

This loan usury is being operated by all the great powers and families.Chen Shuda's family also has a loan shark business, and the loan sharks in Chen Shuda's family are typical.That is to say, if you borrow one hundred guan from Chen Shuda's family, you only get 130 guan, and when you calculate the interest, you have to pay back [-] guan.Such interest is equivalent to more than [-]%.

In fact, Chen Shuda is not considered the darkest. The interest rate of the darkest is as high as 12%, and even the interest rate is doubled.Yuwen Shiji said with a smile: "If Consort Chen really intends to collect [-]% profit, I would like to lend him [-] guan and repay him [-] guan in the coming year. There is absolutely no problem!"

Li Yuan's intuition told him that Chen Ying's bank was not that simple.However, he couldn't figure it out. Of the important ministers present, only Xiao Shiwen, Xiao Yu and Pei Ji did not speak. Li Yuan looked at Pei Ji and said, "Jian Pei, what do you think of this matter?"

Pei Ji felt bitter in his heart, he vaguely felt something.But how dare he say that Chen was invited to buy people's hearts?If these words were true, Li Yuan probably wouldn't have any reaction, but Chen Ying would be offended to death if he did so.

Although in the Hall of Wude, the monarch and his subjects spoke in a small range.

But in the deep palace, there are no secrets at all.

After a while, Pei Ji murmured: "There is nothing wrong with Chen Yuma wanting to build a bank, but if the interest is more than [-]%, then the policy of benefiting the people will become a policy of harming the people."

Xiao Yu lowered his eyelids, was silent for a moment, and said: "This method is feasible, but it must be supervised by Wutai!"

Wutai is the synonym for Yushitai.

Li Yuan also paid attention when he heard this.Anyway, the son-in-law gave such a big gift, and opened a bank to put usury money to earn a little money to support the family, so there is nothing wrong with it.

In ancient rebellion, the biggest problem was the need to have military power.Chen Ying was named Zhu Guo, Liang Guogong, and a guest of the East Palace. In fact, he was stripped of his military power in disguise.Handing over the steel industry is actually a disguised form to prove to Li Yuan that he and the Hou Mo Chen family have no objections, otherwise, it would be impossible for Chen Ying to hand over the steel industry. With these industries in hand, Chen Ying can explode his troops anytime, anywhere.

The equipment of the left and right guards and the left and right siyu rate of the East Palace is much stronger than that of the left and right military guards. These are the things produced by the master craftsmen under the name of Chen Ying. No matter how strong or sharp they are, they are far superior to the weapon supervisor.

Li Yuan made a final decision and endorsed Chen Ying's Datang Tongli Bank. Later, Li Yuan regretted it deeply.

However, at this time Li Xiuning did not understand what Chen Ying did.

Once this person has a family, he will plan for future generations.

The same is true for Li Xiuning. She thinks that Chen Ying's things are all her future son's property with an annual profit of one million yuan, and she handed it over as soon as she said it. Li Xiuning was very unhappy.

Although building a bank can be profitable.But the annual profit of one hundred thousand guan and the annual profit of one million guan are matters that even a fool can distinguish clearly.

After returning to the Chen Mansion, Li Xiuning said very solemnly: "Chen Lang, you must explain to me clearly why you donated the iron workshop!"

If a country is compared to a person, then the oil that this person's country needs is human blood, and the backbone is steel.

Iron, the Fe element, is actually the most common on the earth, so that we almost turn a blind eye to it.The core of our earth is composed of huge iron elements, so our earth has a huge magnetic field, this magnetic field protects the earth from being damaged by solar wind and radiation, and we can see majestic and gorgeous landscapes in the north and south poles Aurora - This is a natural phenomenon caused by geomagnetic changes in the solar wind.

For a country, iron is an important strategic material, especially today when industrialization is becoming more and more important, iron is very important to a country.Not to mention, the division of human society is also initially divided according to the tools used. The primitive society can be said to be the Stone Age, which later developed into the Bronze Age. Since the discovery of iron and iron-making technology, iron has completely changed human society. From farm tools to reclaiming wasteland, to changes in eating habits, to the development of military applications, even sacrifices require iron tools to slaughter tribute.Especially after entering the industrial revolution, the development of ironware is more and more important in the military and in industry.

However, if Chen Ying continues to master the iron and steel blast furnace technology, the people of Tang Dynasty will continue to bear the price of one hundred yuan per catty of iron, and the steel will exceed twice that of iron. The key is that even if you have money, you may not be able to buy iron.Because of limited steel resources, in this era, it needs to be used first in the military field.In other words, the income of an acre of land that the common people worked hard could be enough to buy a catty of iron.

Chen Ying knew that this was a very abnormal thing.In later generations, the price ratio of grain and steel is almost one to one, and the price of high-quality rice must be more expensive than steel.Chen Ying really couldn't imagine that people would have to tighten their belts and think about it for a long time to buy a kitchen knife.

If Chen Ying continues to expand steel production, he will definitely face the problem of overcapacity.But once the price is lowered, the competitive advantage will be lost immediately. In this situation where there is no mechanization and all rely on manpower, if Chen Ying has [-] or hundreds of thousands of craftsmen, Li Yuan will definitely not be able to sleep well.
