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

Many people believe that Li Shimin is the largest gold dealer, and Li Shimin is not a fool. As long as he buys high, he can raise the price of gold.

What others can think of, can Li Shen not think of it?

Li Shen didn't go out at home those days, but he wasn't always in Wenrou Township.

When he wanted to trick his father, he chose several plans before finally settling on the golden one.

Because gold does not harm the country or the people.

And Li Shen knew that although Li Shimin had the most gold in Datang, his father's cash flow was insufficient.

That is to say, there is not much cash.

Even if his father wanted to bail out the market, he wouldn't be able to come up with that much copper money. This is his confidence.

The entry of capital into the market relies on large amounts of cash flow, which washes back and forth.

If Li Shen wanted to, he could have lowered the price of gold to a low point, then bought them all himself, then raised the price of gold, buying low and selling high.

Of course, Li Shen would not do such a harmful thing. His goal is actually to make Li Shimin feel distressed.

And he also had to guard against Li Shimin's other identity as emperor.

As long as the emperor issues an edict, any false news can be given, saying that a large amount of gold is needed for decoration, where to decorate it, etc. The price of gold will rise immediately.

After all, the imperial edict is much more reliable than the gossip in the market.

"Tell me, what should I do now? I lost more than 300 million yuan, do you want to compensate me?" Li Shimin asked Li Shen.

"Aye, I don't have any money, so why don't you give me a beating?" Li Shen wanted money rather than his life. How can you lose money?

"You... okay, I will beat you and pay for it today, come here," Li Shimin was very angry.

Two guards came outside.

"Pull King Ji out and beat him hard."

The two guards were stunned for a moment, but quickly stepped forward.

Queen Changsun gave up and waved to the two guards, "Get out."

The two guards looked at Li Shimin and were in a dilemma when they saw that Li Shimin didn't say anything.

Wang De came over and whispered to the two of them:

"Get out, it's okay."

The two looked at each other, then bowed and left. Wang De was Li Shimin's spokesperson.

"Erlang, don't be angry, and Shen'er, don't be angry with your Aye. Mother decided to let Xing Kiln make a set of fine tea sets for you.

Shen'er, you are thinking of a way to get your Aye's 300 million yuan back. Erlang, can you tell me? "

Empress Changsun became a peacemaker, and she was really troubled by these two men.

"Huh~~" Li Shimin didn't answer, but he just hummed, which was regarded as agreement.

"It all follows mother's orders." Li Shen also nodded, his baby was back.

"Come on, come on, let's have tea with you Aye."

In fact, Empress Changsun could see that Li Shimin had more affection for Li Shen. Just like ordinary people, if the son makes a mistake, the father will give him a beating.

If Li Shimin was really serious about business, it wouldn't be enough for Li Shen to die a hundred times.

Li Shimin was just angry that his son was so prodigal. He just lost so much money just to vent his anger on him.

"Tell me how you came up with this idea." Li Shimin also poured Li Shen a cup of tea.

Li Shen stood there and took a sip of tea. It was such a good tea.

After hearing this, he replied:

"Aye, this is actually very simple. Gold is just like commodities. As long as there are more things, the price will drop in the market.

When something is in short supply, its price will rise. I remember saying this a long, long time ago. "

Li Shimin thought about it and realized that Li Shen had indeed told him when he was a child that what he liked most about Li Shen was his unique ideas.

It is extremely practical and stands up to scrutiny.

And they are often the most direct and effective.

"But gold is different from a commodity. Gold is a currency that can be circulated like copper coins," Li Shimin continued to ask.

"Aye, our Tang Dynasty has not tied gold and copper coins together. In other words, how many copper coins can be exchanged for one tael of gold is decided by everyone in the market.

And although gold can be used as money, it is not yet in circulation on the market. The common people have never used it.

That's why I chose gold, because the people who were injured were wealthy people such as aristocratic family businessmen, not ordinary people. "

Li Shen said truthfully.

Li Shimin thought for a moment after hearing this.

What Li Shen said makes sense. Although gold can be used as money at this time, the imperial court has not issued any laws.

This has been passed down from generation to generation.

"Old Shi, you are doing it this time, but what if a noble family is doing it in the future? I don't know how many people will suffer by then.

What if next time it’s not gold, but food? Or salt or iron.

The losers are not just some wealthy nobles and businessmen. If it is salt, iron and food, then the people will suffer. "

After Li Shimin learned about Li Shen's methods, the first thing that came to his mind was people's livelihood.

"Aye, so I think there are some things that need to be controlled by the state. The state promulgates corresponding laws and establishes a relevant yamen for special management.

We also need to establish a national bank that specializes in wealth. Including making coins and so on.

Nowadays, our Tang Dynasty is booming, the transaction volume is increasing every day, and the money required is hundreds and hundreds of horse-drawn carriages.

This is very inconvenient and affects the circulation of materials. If we can make it universal, or issue a lightweight currency with a larger denomination, it will be convenient not only for merchants, but also for people to buy goods. "

Li Shen took this opportunity to finally express his thoughts.

Setting up a bank has always been something Li Shen wanted to do, even though he didn't know much about finance.

But he still understands simple deposits, withdrawals, and lending.

Li Shimin didn't expect that Li Shen would think so much and was a little surprised, but what he said was indeed worthy of scrutiny.

Today, Datang's salt and iron industry has not been returned to the imperial court, but it is the imperial court that issues licenses so you can operate it, but no common people can get the licenses.

They are all top families such as big aristocratic families.

Just like Changsun Wuji's eldest son's family, they were engaged in the iron and salt business.

Almost all of the five surnames and Qiwangli also have license plates.

And they don't have to pay taxes.

"What you said does make sense, but it's not easy to take it back. My Li family raised an army in Taiyuan, and with the support of the aristocratic family, I have the foundation of my Li family.

If we forcibly take it back, people in the world will say that my Li family is ungrateful and has crossed the river and burned the bridge. How will the history books evaluate me, Li Tang? "

Although Li Shimin agreed with Li Shen's idea in his heart, reality simply did not allow it.

Li Shen knew that it was not easy, and later generations had to go through bloody storms to take back state-owned assets.

"Why don't you give me a salt and iron license plate?"

(I don’t know why, short videos always recommend some touching videos to me,

I'm not afraid of everyone laughing when I say it. Some people shed tears just watching it.

In fact, life does not lack warmth, but everyone has not discovered it.

I hope that everyone will not give up when you encounter difficulties. I believe that the sun will rise after every dawn.

Come on, everyone. )
