Datang: Huchi served as a bodyguard, but refused to enter the court as an official

Once someone opposed the emperor, he would be the first to stand up and tear that person apart.

There are not many people in the world who can represent the emperor's will, and Prince Li Chengqian is just the most important one.

For Li Yuanli, the prince is just a big thick leg.

As for the emperor's thigh, he is not qualified to hold it yet.

Li Chengqian came to Jiangnan and sent him many signals.

First of all, and most importantly, the emperor will carry out a violent cleansing of the royal family.

In order to prevent some people from jumping over the wall in a hurry, and at the same time for the purpose of protecting the prince, he did not hesitate to sing against the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty and insisted on sending Li Chengqian to Jiangnan.

Secondly, it also indirectly proves that the collateral impact of the upheaval in Yuezhou is far more than just a few lives.

The deaths of Princess Changguang and Princess Gaomi were far from pacifying the emperor's anger.

And the last point made Li Yuanli keenly aware that the emperor's attitude towards paper money reform was not as simple as he imagined.

In other words, in the emperor's heart, the reform of banknotes was more important than the large number of royal relatives!

The only way for Li Yuanli to unequivocally express that he has changed sides is to treat the prince well.

Let the prince live comfortably in Suzhou City for a few months, and then personally send him back to Chang'an to show his position.

His position is actually very important.

As the only adult male member of the second generation of the royal family, excluding the emperor himself, if Li Yuanli could live for a few decades longer, then his future status would definitely be higher than that of Li Deliang.

After all, Li Yuan and Li Deliang are just cousins, while Li Yuanli and Li Er are brothers.

It is almost certain that if Li Yuanli lived to Li Deliang's age, then he would definitely become Dazong Zhengqing.

When he came to Wanghai Tower, Li Yuanli was not in a hurry to go in.

The two guards at the door looked familiar.

When those two murderous men saluted him, Li Yuanli remembered that these two men were Jin Wuwei.

"You are here too"

Li Yuanli laughed dryly, feeling a little uneasy.

The Jinwu Guard is the emperor's imperial guard. When did it protect the prince?

Shouldn't the prince be the one who takes the prince with him when he travels?

And why didn't you see Donggong Qianniu Helan Chushi?

"I'm afraid the changes in Chang'an City that night were more complicated than imagined."

Li Yuanli thought to himself.

"I would like to ask you two to go in and report, the king is waiting here!"

"King Zheng wait a moment"

The two Jinwu guards were not polite either, one of them walked in, the other remained motionless, staring at Li Yuanli with a somewhat defensive expression.

Since entering Wanghai Tower, Li Chengqian has been running back and forth like a wild dog that has been let loose.

Except for the noisy restaurant on the first floor, everyone from the second floor to the seventh floor is full of acquaintances!

Especially in the teahouse on the second floor, he was pleasantly surprised to find Li Yifu's figure!

In the past few years in Chang'an, Li Chengqian was really driven crazy.

He wasn't a stable character at all.

Facing a mountain of copywriting all day long, even a normal person can be tortured into a psychopath.

What he misses the most is the time when he was studying in the academy.

Leading Li Yifu and others all day long, recruiting cats and fighting dogs, not doing business, but enjoying it.

All told, they hadn't seen each other for nearly a year.

Li Yifu and the others obviously also got the news that Li Chengqian had come to Jiangnan, and they were not surprised to see him coming. They sat in a circle around a tea table, except for Li Yanshou.

"I heard that you have gone to various places in the south of the Yangtze River, and some even went to Lingnan. Why are you here today?"

Li Chengqian's face was full of uncontrollable joy.

Li Yifu looked much darker than before.

He was the one who went to Lingnan some time ago.

"All the brothers have come back to report on their duties. After staying for three to five days, they will return to their posts."

Everyone chattered about their recent experiences.

They seemed to have intentionally avoided the recent turmoil in Chang'an City.

No one mentioned the great changes that night.

Li Chengqian asked: "Speaking of Lingnan, how is that kid Li Yin doing?"

Li Yifu laughed.

"That kid has been in trouble recently. He has soldiers in his hands and someone behind him. Even the Feng family shuns him. When you go to Dongzhou Island, you should see Feng An's old face. So that kid is not He is a ruthless person who looks like a mountain, but he is actually a ruthless person, and he is about to overwhelm the Feng family!"

Li Chengqian said enviously: "It's a pity that I have been imprisoned in Chang'an, unable to take a step forward. These years have been far less exciting than yours."

As he spoke, he drank the tea in his cup, stood up and said, "Come on, I just came to Jiangnan, so I should go up to see the elders. Come with me!"

Li Yifu and others got up one after another.

Just then, someone came to report.

"Prince, King Zheng has arrived!"

Li Chengqian's face quickly turned cold.

The father and son seemed to have a big prejudice against their relatives by nature.

After pondering for a while, Li Chengqian said lightly: "Let King Zheng come to see me on the seventh floor!"

Chapter 1594 Making Silver Directly

On the seventh floor of Wanghai Building, the Suzhou headquarters of Liujia Commercial Bank.

Standing behind the huge desk, Li Chengqian smiled and looked at Shen Wansan, who was obviously much older than last year.

Shen Wansan was flipping through a document. His hair was loosely combed and his body was sloppy. It looked like he had worked overtime for a long time.

There is no way, Dadong's family is a hands-off shopkeeper, and everything is delayed, and it all depends on Shen Wansan.

Old Shen was so busy that he lost his hair in handfuls.

After about a cup of tea, Lao Shen closed the document, closed his eyes and meditated for a moment, and said to the waiter beside him: "Tell Lao Zhou that his proposal is completely rejected, and there must be no fewer members in Youzhou this year. The family is using silver, not the time for him to cherish feathers!"

The boy responded, turned around and ran downstairs.

Only then did Li Chengqian say: "Uncle Shen, the fragrant rosewood from Annan's tribute is made into incense sticks, which are the most nourishing for people."

He put a rectangular box on the table gently.

Shen Wansan was not polite, put the long box into the drawer, and said helplessly: "Your Majesty is really cruel, but since you have come to the south of the Yangtze River, the young master will definitely be able to keep you. Take you to the island."

While speaking, several documents were placed in front of Shen Wansan.

Shen Wansan frowned, and said, "Retain part of the documents first, and send the rest downstairs, and let those old guys figure it out!"

The little guy took all the files away without making a sound.

Li Chengqian sat down and said with a smile: "Why is Uncle Shen so busy recently? I heard that there are many newcomers in the shop, and there are even dozens of high-achieving students who graduated from the academy. It stands to reason, Uncle Shen, you should take it easy. yes."

Shen Wansan sighed, and said: "You don't know how difficult the family's business is now. The young master is pushing for the reform of banknotes. This investment alone exceeds 400 million per month!"

The real Shen Wansan in history probably never had any worries about money.

It is said that Shen Wansan's wealth at his peak was more than 20 billion taels of silver.

In terms of size, the current Liu family is absolutely incomparable.

But that also depends on the background of the times.

In the final analysis, the Tang Dynasty was also a thousand years earlier than the Ming Dynasty.

If the wealth of the entire world is divided by the wealth of the Liu family, Shen Wansan's net worth in the Ming Dynasty may not even reach [-]% of the Liu family's wealth.

The things the two do can't be compared.

Shen Wansan in history, even if his property was ten times larger, he would not dare to mention currency value reform.

But the Liu family has a sufficient official background.

Those who have traveled hundreds of miles are half to ninety, and seeing the dawn of the paper money reform is about to see, Lao Shen is full of exhaustion.

He felt like a mason who had finished mending the east hole and was about to mend the west hole.

Over the years, the wealth accumulated by the Liu family has been tossed back and forth between the left and right hands, not much, but less and less.

Of course, it's all worth it.

The current effort is to create a larger market.

When Datang's currency becomes the universal currency of the world, the Liu family can break away from the scope of earning money.

Make silver directly!

This kind of practice, which is called hooliganism in later generations, did not have any place to be criticized in the Tang Dynasty.

Because, the people of Datang can get real benefits.

Who cares whether they are dead or alive outside of Datang?

If this is accomplished, Shen Wansan's name will not just be recorded in the annals of history

So, Lao Shen was both in pain and happy.

Li Chengqian was terrified by this huge number.

"400 million per month?!"

A year is 800 million guan!

What is this concept?

It took only 2000 million guan to wipe out the five surnames and Qiwang back then.

Then the century-old foundation of the five surnames and Qiwang has been suppressed!

Even at the moment when commerce and trade are developed, Datang's annual taxation, including currency tax and tax in kind, has not broken the mark of tens of millions.

Thinking about his dilapidated East Palace, Li Chengqian suddenly felt an urge to jump off the building

Shen Wansan yawned a lot, and said with some disinterest: "Did you hatch from an egg as a banknote printing bureau? The young master said, as much gold as you collect, you have to make as many banknotes, and what are they called?" The gold standard, my old Shen is also a master of accounting, so I have never even heard of it, but after working hard for more than half a year, I was completely burned by Wang Shouren!"

It could be heard that Shen Wansan was very dissatisfied with Wang Shouren's thunderous methods in Yuezhou.

Wang Shouren was very happy, and he also wiped out the enemies for the paper money reform.

The price that can be paid is real gold and silver!

Every penny was deducted by Shen Wansan from various properties of the Liu family!

Li Chengqian smiled awkwardly, he didn't have the guts to comment on Wang Shouren's actions.

At this time, a huge figure suddenly appeared behind Li Chengqian.

Unlike Xu Chu's physique, this huge figure developed completely horizontally.

From a distance, it looks like a mountain of meat.

It is the shopkeeper of Youzhou, Lao Zhou!

These big shopkeepers scattered all over the country have already come to Suzhou.

It can be said that he spared no effort to help Liu Bai implement the reform of banknotes.

"Uncle Zhou!"

Li Chengqian hurriedly cupped his hands in salute.

Old Zhou smiled boldly, holding Li Chengqian's shoulder with one hand, and said, "I haven't seen you for a year, but I've grown a lot taller. Have you given birth yet?"
