I am Li Shen and Li Shimin, the free kings of the Tang Dynasty

"Where did all the money go? There should be six to seven hundred thousand yuan, right?" Li Shen asked seriously.

"Reporting to the prince, we have purchased cattle and sheep. Moreover, the price of Tubo cattle and sheep has also increased.

They said it was the same as our Datang products, and there was a shipping fee. "

"Fart, there is a fart freight for horses, cattle and sheep. They all rush here and eat wherever they go. They just want to defraud us."

Li Shen was extremely angry after hearing this, and these Tubo people also learned how to do business.

But he wasn't too angry. The price of goods in Datang was higher than that in China, and porcelain prices were at least ten times higher.

The Tubo livestock will naturally follow suit, as long as they don't grow too much.

"Do you still need to tell me about this kind of thing? I have already sent someone to notify Wang Hongfu to deliver two million yuan.

how? have not reach yet? "Li Shen was angry that he still came to report such a trivial matter to him.

"Go back to your lord, we haven't arrived yet." Liu Su replied.

"Huh? It shouldn't be. It's been so long. Logically, the first batch should have arrived. How come it hasn't arrived?

Now send someone to check along the way. If not, just go back to Chang'an and ask Wang Hongfu.

Is it so hard for me to speak now? "Li Shen was also a little puzzled. It's been a month.

"Yes, I will do it now." Liu Su bowed and prepared to leave.

"Wait a minute, how long can the money in our bank last?" Li Shen thought about it and stopped Liu Su and asked.

"Go back to your Majesty, it will take at most two days. During these days, more and more caravans are coming from Tibet, and more and more livestock are being brought over.

We have transported two batches of livestock totaling 30,000 heads to Jiannan Road.

There is one of our grain warehouses built many years ago. "Liu Su replied immediately.

"Two days? Let me think about it." Li Shen stood up, with his upper body shirtless and a piece of white cloth around his lower body.

Pacing back and forth there, thinking about countermeasures.

"This won't work. The money will definitely not arrive here in two days. If we don't acquire it, it will definitely affect our transaction volume.

You go and inform the person in charge of the bank and ask them to issue flying money when they purchase livestock from Datang merchants.

Businessmen can go to Chang'an City to receive money with flying money.

The Tubo side stopped buying, and asked the merchants to call the Tubo and exchange things for things.

In this way we can solve the problem of no copper coins and at the same time increase transaction volume and tax revenue.

There is also the need to adjust the livestock prices unified by the bank according to market conditions.

We cannot deliberately suppress prices, otherwise it will affect the market trend. "

Li Shen thought for a long time and finally thought of Feiqian. He now regrets why he didn't think of it before.

If I had thought about it before, I wouldn't have to transport money here.

"Your Majesty's clever idea. In this way, we don't have to prepare so many copper coins.

Saves transportation costs.

But the villain is afraid that some people don't trust Feiqian. "Liu Su first flattered him and then expressed his concerns.

"Huh, forget it if you don't trust me, then let them transport the money back by themselves. When they pass the customs,

Look how they were scraped. "

Li Shen snorted coldly, "If you are goods, the officials and soldiers may not take a fancy to you when you pass through the city."

But these people must be jealous if you bring so much money.

Putting one hundred thousand copper coins in front of Li Shen, he was more excited than hearing one million coins. Money moved people's hearts, and many people dared to take risks.

"Huh? That's not right. Doesn't our bank have a savings business? Doesn't anyone save money?" Li Shen suddenly remembered this matter.

"Go back to your Majesty, I have savings, about one million at the moment." Liu Su nodded.

"You have savings and you tell me you have no money? Are you kidding me?" Li Shen's face darkened.

I have a million dollars, and you still tell me you have no money.

"Your Majesty, aren't they all deposits? They are all merchants' money, and they have to pay us for safekeeping every year.

Of course we have to keep it safe for them. How can we use it for others?

If these people come to withdraw money, what should we give them? After hearing this, Liu Su persuaded Li Shen earnestly.

This money belongs to others and we cannot touch it. It is kept here for safekeeping.

After hearing this, Li Shen rolled his eyes and almost fainted. If the bank relied on safekeeping to make money, it would have been drunk by the northwest wind long ago.

"What? It was the same in the previous cabinet shop? All the money was kept in one place?" Li Shen asked.

"Yes, Your Majesty, of course the items are stored in the warehouse, and the people pay for the storage fees." Liu Su replied seriously.

"How does the cabinet shop make money?" Li Shen was curious.

"Your Majesty, isn't there still lending? Shops all over the country mainly make money from lending, and the gains are very high.

They make more money than we do by lending money. As you said last time, Prince, they compound interest and many people will not be able to repay it in their lifetime.

Ordinary people usually borrow rice from cabinet shops to survive in disaster years.

But many of them were forced to lose their families and their families.

The merchants borrowed a lot of money and their property was swallowed up, so the imperial cabinet shop was still better.

This bank opened by the prince has such low interest rates on loans, which is really a blessing to the people. "Liu Su explained.

Li Shen's mouth twitched when he heard that the interest rate was low. The interest rate of 10% to 20% was still low? My only contribution is simple interest, not compound interest.

"Okay, go ahead and start flying money. If anyone wants gold, that's fine. If you exchange it for copper coins, you'll have to pay 1.5% less."

"Yes. Your Majesty, I will do it now."

Liu Su turned around and walked to the door, but suddenly stopped again.

"Is there anything else?" Li Shen was a little impatient.

“It’s a small matter. Many people at the horse racing farm suggested that we supply fodder and water for the horses.

They are willing to pay for it.

They didn't bring that much food and grass with them. Liu Su said cautiously.

This matter is actually a small matter, but because King Ji said not to care, I asked for permission.

"This is not easy to handle. Contact the Tibetan businessmen and ask us to purchase forage.

After acquiring it, we sell it to them at twice the price, and the same goes for water. "What did Li Shen think it was? It was so simple and he asked himself.

"Twice as much? Isn't it a bit expensive, Your Majesty?"

"Why is it expensive? Tell them that in addition to cost, it also includes urban construction tax, environmental maintenance fee, city defense fee, protection fee, and road maintenance fee.

The price we sell is the cost price, and we still have to pay some compensation. "

"And there are road maintenance fees?" Liu Su could still understand the city construction, maintenance, and city defense in the literal sense.

But why are there still road maintenance fees?

"Nonsense, did they fly here from all over the country? Didn't they take the road of the Tang Dynasty?

Charging them road maintenance fees is also to prepare for my future road construction.

This king is also doing good things that benefit the country and the people.

Of course, we just say we’re going to lose money. "

Although Li Shen felt that he was a little wicked, the people who could own a carriage team were definitely not ordinary businessmen, rich businessmen, or nobles, so he just made twice as much money out of spite.

"My lord, it's high! It's really high!"

(The above is only to show the evilness of the protagonist, and has no other intention. Please don’t speculate blindly.)
