Chapter 12 Money House is a good thing (second update)

Everyone has selfish intentions, and Li Jiancheng is no exception. Although the treasury of the Tang Dynasty is tight, since Chen Yingxing built the blast furnace to make steel, relying on Chen Yingsancheng's dividend, the inner treasury of the East Palace was very full at this time.

You should know that Li Yuan wanted to take back Chen Ying's steel workshop as a state-owned one. Li Yuan not only discussed it with Li Xiuning, but also told Li Jiancheng that since Li Jiancheng had to "take away the capital of his ministers, it was not the one who did the master." Although the national policy of collecting salt and iron was not changed, this knife was not the turn of Chen Ying to take over for the time being.

It’s not your turn, so hurry up and send someone a head.

Li Jiancheng looked at Chen Ying with resentment.

At the same time, looking at Li Jiancheng's cannibalism, Li Shimin was curious about what Chen Ying did again. Li Shimin quietly received the scroll from Li Jiancheng and found the content written on it, Li Shimin was in full bloom.

Originally, the income of the Eastern Palace was not as good as that of the Qin Palace. Li Shimin's expenses were greater than that of Li Jiancheng, so the income and expenditure were unbalanced, not only the Tang Dynasty treasury, but also the Qin Palace was also tight. In the past two years, the fiscal revenue of the Eastern Palace has increased sharply, let alone Li Shimin has eaten more.

However, now Chen Ying is going to give all his steel workshops, armor workshops, and weapons workshops to Li Yuan and to the Tang Dynasty court. Li Shimin felt that his head was a little too short. Chen Ying was just thinking about it!

Li Yuan held back his ecstasy and looked at Chen Ying and said, "You are very sensible, I am very satisfied. It is rare that you have such elegance to solve my urgent needs!"

Chen Ying said seriously: "Salt and iron are the most important tools of the country, and they cannot be held by the ministers. I am all thanks to you today. All the people in the family praise Your Majesty's kindness at all times. Even if I am stupid, I dare not rely on Your Majesty's favor and trample on the national law. Your Majesty's clear understanding is that this is the strategy to benefit the people that I think of when I feel that Your Majesty's kindness cannot be repaid, but I think of."

"I feel very relieved to you because you are so filial, but..." Li Yuan pondered: "These markets in the Qinglin are your Chen family's industries. Pingyang could not live a hard life in the past. These industries should be kept for Chen's expenses!"

Of course, Li Yuan knew that Li Xiuning married Chen Ying, but brought two thousand little people with him. Whether it was the servants, close friends, or even the palace maids and eunuchs in Princess Pingyang's mansion, they all needed salary. Taking Princess Pingyang as an example, her prescribed order was sixty-eight people to send, and other servants needed Chen Ying to be responsible. Two thousand little people were eating, drinking, defecating, and this was not a small number. Two thousand people spent at least about five thousand knots a year.

However, the combined salary of Chen Ying and Princess Pingyang still cannot support such a large family.

As a father, I certainly don't want to see my daughter suffer.

Love and bread had no room for consideration in ancient times. Will there be happiness without bread? This is simply a false proposition.

Li Jiancheng was even more surprised when he heard this. Chen Ying wanted to give it, and it would be tens of millions of guan. It can be said that as long as Chen Ying's industries are accepted, it is hard to say whether the treasury income can improve. Anyway, the court can collect more than one million guan every year, and even these money and grains can be enough to support the Tang Dynasty to fight a war of 100,000 people, or two or even three local wars.

Chen Ying said: "Your Majesty, I am actually selfish. The production capacity of the steel workshop is not 10,000 pounds or 20,000 pounds, but 10,000 pounds or 20,000 pounds. Such output and such a scale are enough to control the world. Such a heavy weapon is definitely not suitable for being in the hands of Immortals, so please help me!"

Li Yuan shook his head and said, "No need to talk about this matter!"

Li Xiuning secretly winked at Chen Ying. She knew Chen Ying's concerns, but seeing that Li Yuan disagreed with the acceptance, she also wanted Chen Ying to go with the flow.

However, Chen Ying made up his mind that if he wanted to transform, this strategy would never be abandoned halfway. Although the profits of steel are high, they can be higher than banks and hospitals? The key is that both banks and hospitals can win a good reputation and also gain huge benefits.

Chen Ying said: "I wonder if Your Majesty is in the Tang Dynasty, who pays the most taxes, the upper households, the middle households and the lower households?

Li Yuan did not consider this issue at all and said directly: "Of course, it's a middle-aged household!"

The definition of the upper household in the Tang Dynasty was completely different from that of later generations. No matter how many ranks of aristocratic clans were, they were all upper households. Among the upper households, there were nine ranks, including upper upper, upper, upper, upper, middle, upper, middle, upper, middle, middle, lower, lower, lower, lower, lower, lower, lower, lower (detailed regulations, detailed explanations, those who are interested can use Baidu). Although the nine-rank official law formulated by Chen Qun had reached the end of the Tang Dynasty, it was the last afterglow before the end of the road.

The impact is very big.

Of course, aristocratic clans do not need to pay food. More than 90% of the civil and military officials in the court came from this school. In "The Legend of the Heroes of the Sui and Tang Dynasties", most of the heroes who appeared, except for a few fabricated characters, were from aristocratic clans, and only Dou Jiande, the only ones from poor families.

In this era, the aristocratic race is the pillar of the country in the eyes of the world. Those who win the hearts of the people can win the world. This person's heart is not the whole people, but the aristocratic race. The people think of Dou Jiande's goodness, but he also dies when he loses his country. No matter how much the people hate Wang Shichong, he can still live in the Central Plains due to the needs of the situation and call him a lonely person.

The so-called lower households all own a small amount of land, either joining aristocratic families as slaves, or tenants. Although they work all year round, they have enriched the aristocratic families and have no rich countries.

Chen Ying said solemnly: "If Your Majesty wants to make the Tang Dynasty rich and strong, he must try his best to increase the number of middle-aged households. Only when the number of middle-aged households far exceeds the number of upper-aged households and lower households, the treasury of the Tang Dynasty can become rich."

Li Yuan sighed and said, "Why don't I know this? I just want to increase the middle households in the world. It's not easy. Originally, the middle households had no ability to resist risks. If there were natural disasters or man-made disasters, they would become lower households. The previous dynasty had 8.9 million households. By the end of Daye, there were as many as 6.7 million households, and only 2.8 million households remained."

Chen Ying said: "Your Majesty clearly understands that I am worried about this matter, so I planned to build the Tongli Money House in the Tang Dynasty. Tongli Money House in the Tang Dynasty will put out the seal money. The money I released was not for free, but would charge 20% of the interest. Although doing so would benefit farmers, it would also benefit Weichen."

Land and commerce are two important factors in the survival of aristocratic families. In fact, as long as there are small-scale businesses, there are aristocratic families behind them. Although the aristocratic families speak of benevolence, righteousness and morality, and merchants are full of bad business, they are all doing it. Just like later generations, they held patriotic slogans, but they are still full of foreign goods. They held high love for China, but their whole family immigrated abroad.

Although the words were said very well, no one did it.

Li Yuan knew that the 20% profit Chen Ying gave was the real conscientious price. He nodded and said, "If this is the case, it will be a policy to benefit the people!"

Chen Ying then said: "I have thought that the people in the Tang Dynasty suffered from suffering, and the people lacked medical treatment. I want to open a Boai Hospital so that everyone in the world can enjoy medical treatment. Don't suffer from problems such as having illnesses, suffering from serious illnesses, and suffering from minor illnesses!"

Chen Ying and Li Yuan had a more in-depth discussion on how to build medical care and how to build a money house. Li Yuan felt that Chen Ying seemed too versatile and a little abnormal, but for a moment he didn't understand what was going on.

Li Yuan did not let go at that time, but had to consider it.

Just when Li Yuan was considering that Chen Ying was going to contribute his property and opened a money shop to benefit the people, Li Shimin, who returned to Chengqian Palace of the Qin Palace, was absent-minded.

Du Ruhui, Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji, Chu Liang and other confidant advisers didn't know how to persuade Li Shimin.

Of course, Li Shimin suffered repeated failures, and he was not as discouraged and desperate as King Chu. Although Li Shimin was worried, he did not give up his goal, but was worried about how to make a comeback. Li Shimin frowned and looked at Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and others and said, "You all think about how I will rise up again?"

"This..." Chu Liang felt a thrust in his heart when he heard this. He thought to himself, "It's only been wherever he has been on a bench for less than a month, so I can't stand it anymore? Li Jiancheng was tortured last year so that he hadn't seen Li Yuan for more than three months!"

Just as everyone was frowning, Changsun Wuji said, "Your Highness cannot stay in Chang'an, you must let it go!"

"Reason, this is the reason!" Li Shimin smiled bitterly and said, "But will the father agree? At this time, let alone letting me out of the governor of the king, even if I give the general manager of a state, it is better than staying in Chang'an. If there are soldiers from a state, I will also have the confidence to rebuild the Xuan Armored Iron Cavalry!"

As the saying goes, it’s unintentional, it’s intentional.

Li Shimin accidentally said that he wanted to rebuild the Xuan Armored Iron Cavalry, but Fang Xuanling suddenly realized: "Your Highness, if you want to rebuild the Xuan Armored Iron Cavalry, why not go find someone to help."

Li Shimin was overjoyed and said, "Who?"

Du Ruhui said: "The prince-in-law, Duke Liang!"

Li Shimin hesitated and said, "Looking for him, isn't he the same idleness at home now?"

"This is different!" Du Ruhui explained: "The 200,000 Turkic troops gathered in Dingxiang, and their intentions are unknown. If the Turkic army does not disband, our Tang Dynasty will not be able to be stable. If the expected one is not good, Chen's princess will definitely lead his troops northward. If your highness wants to rebuild the Xuan Armored Iron Cavalry, it is better to ask Your Majesty for the imperial edict and learn the methods of training from Chen's princess. I think Your Majesty will agree!"

Li Shimin is also a smart person. He understands what Du Ruhui really means.

Chen's military war is not considered to be unparalleled in war, and at best it is considered to be just a matter of course. The key is that several armies under Chen Ying's command, such as the Cavalry, the Snake Lancer, the Modao Army, and the Shooting Army, are all elite troops in a thousand. Even if he handed over the ordinary army to Chen Ying, Chen Ying had a way to turn the weak troops into a strong army in a very short time.

It may not be easy for Li Shimin to seize Chen Ying's army. He wants to bribe the generals under Chen Ying. Once things go big, everyone will be unable to hold on.

If she was found out, Li Xiuning would not let Li Shimin have a better life. If Li Xiuning got angry, she would dare to use a knife to cut people.

On the contrary, Li Shimin went to learn how to train with Chen Ying himself, and Chen Ying could neither refuse nor fool him.

When Li Shimin thought of this, he finally had an idea.
