Chapter 58 Li Shimin and Ying Zheng
, Liu Bei, Yang Guang
As the eighth year of Zhenguan entered the end of the year, light snow began to fall in Chang'an City.
In the palace and study, the coke is grilled in the fire to keep warm.
The windows are glass windows, which allow sufficient light in the room and no candles are needed.
Next to the desk, Emperor Taizong of Tang Li Shimin was taking the princes Li Chengqian (Ying Zheng), Li Tai (Yang Guang) and Li Zhi (Liu Bang) to read books, and they tested their knowledge from time to time.
The three of them are the sons of Empress Changsun and the three most favored sons of Emperor Taizong of Tang Li Shimin.
Among the three of them, Li Shimin, the Emperor Taizong of Tang Dynasty, loved Li Tai the most. He hoped to train him to become the best crown prince. Li Zhi was only six years old, and the little baby could not see any talent, but the little baby was funny and fun.
As Li Zhi, Liu Bang came to the Tang Dynasty for nearly two years and has been very low-key and played the role of a child without performing too much. He was also worried that his performance would attract Ying Zheng's attention and cause trouble.
As a child, it’s nothing to be smart and literate, so it’s normal for you to like to read some “extracurricular books”.
Just now, under the eyes of Emperor Taizong of Tang, Liu Bang secretly took out the "Journey to the West" to read it.
On the one hand, he wanted to pretend to be a child, not too serious, and not like reading very much, but he was still interested in interesting novels.
Especially after reading "Journey to the West", Liu Bang began to fascinate.
Emperor Taizong of Tang discovered that Liu Bang was reading Journey to the West, but he was not angry. Instead, he smiled. It is normal for a child to like to watch Journey to the West.
Speaking of the "Journey to the West" sold by Zhang Hao, many of the people who like to watch are children, ages seven or eight to eleven or eleven or twelve.
Of course, children who can read and read are not simple in their families, and ordinary children can't understand Journey to the West and can't read them.
Yang Guang glanced at Liu Bang and felt funny: This Liu Bang really knows how to pretend.
Let’s take a look at Ying Zheng who is studying hard. This is the gap!
Ying Zheng and Liu Bang came to the Tang Dynasty together. Due to the gap in the times, despite the memory of Li Chengqian, there were many new things to learn. Ying Zheng has been studying and studying.
This happened to make Emperor Taizong of Tang and the court officials feel very satisfied after knowing it, thinking that he did not choose the wrong crown prince.
Ying Zheng, Liu Bang, and Lu Zhi came to the Tang Dynasty together, and their identities were made public in the history chat group, unlike Yang Guang, Xiang Yu, Hua Tuo, and Lu Ban who were not made public.
Before we knew it, it was dusk and many candles were lit in the study.
"That's all today. Next, I want to tell you about the Sun Money House with you, and I will first talk about your views."
Emperor Taizong of Tang interrupted the three of them to read the book and said.
The Sun Family Money House has been open for more than half a year. At the beginning, Chang'an City and Luoyang City opened six stores, and then continued to expand into the Tang Dynasty and the government. Now, there are basically Sun Family Money Houses in each state and the city is developing very rapidly.
Liu Bang (Li Zhi) said in a tender voice: "Dad, I heard from my brothers about Sun's Money House."
As he said that, he took out some money tickets from his arms, "This is the money ticket from Sun's Money House. It's very convenient to put it on. It's not like putting copper coins on his body. It's very heavy and can't take too much. Moreover, the money tickets are very good. They are used in the palace now. Those eunuchs and palace maids use money tickets when gambling..."
All the things mentioned are related, such as unintentional statements, but they can make people realize that the money tickets of Sun's Money House have developed rapidly and are very popular.
Yang Guang (Li Tai) said: "Sun Hao is a natural businessman in the Sun family. He is already guiding the development of the Tang Dynasty's business. The money tickets of the Sun family's money house are now used everywhere in Chang'an, and even ordinary people have started to use them. If this continues, it will inevitably replace the circulation of coins, and there are many benefits... However, such an important thing is completely handed over to the Sun family. The son-in-law is worried that the dominance of the family will make him spoiled and have some thoughts that should not have.
My sons thought that money should be dominated by the court. Even if the court does not participate, there should be more other money shops, and the Sun family should not make it."
Yang Guang was planning for his power and wanted to participate in the money shop.
Emperor Taizong of Tang always did not like the court to compete for profit with the people, so he would not let the court open a money shop.
Ying Zheng (Li Chengqian) said: "What my fifth brother said is reasonable, and my son also believes that it is not very reassuring for the court to just make the Sun family a money house. Others should be involved.
However, the court should strictly review the people involved, see if their money is enough to open a money shop, see if they have bad deeds and whether they are qualified, and prevent people from scolding the money for escaping or using it for any evil things.
In addition, money shops are very important to the economic development of the Tang Dynasty, so the court needs to have a regulatory system to check their projects regularly, and limit the use of money in money shops. They cannot be used to lend money, and they cannot lend money to ordinary people, and they cannot lend money to usury..."
Ying Zheng’s suggestions were very stylish, which made Emperor Taizong of Tang very satisfied.
Yang Guang also understood what Ying Zheng said, but he deliberately did not say much. It is best to not expose his identity for the time being, and it is best to develop his own power in secret.
Emperor Taizong of Tang asked about their thoughts and did not say how they would sit.
He then found Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling and other important officials to ask about their thoughts.
Sure enough, these important officials did not recommend that the court open a money shop, as it would be suspected of competing for profit with the people, and it was not in line with the benevolent policies and national policies implemented by the Tang Dynasty.
After they learned about Ying Zheng (Crown Prince Li Chengqian), they all agreed and praised him, feeling that the prince was becoming more and more emperor, and that the Tang Dynasty would be expected to succeed in the future.
In this way, Emperor Taizong of Tang made a decision.
Let Changsun Wuji start to come up with a set of strategies to supervise the money house, and then screen some qualified people to enter this industry.
In the end, Yang Guang and Ying Zheng received quotas, and the royal family Li family also had one.
There are two other places, which are given to other aristocratic families.
In addition, the Sun family money house was the six families who were allowed to open money houses by the court.
Before the court made a decision, Ying Zheng mentioned this to Zhang Hao in the history chat group.
Zhang Hao felt it was normal, "The market is very large, and the Sun family cannot fully cover it. This is a good thing for the Sun family and the Tang Dynasty. I am also worried that the Sun family may suffer a disaster, so I feel relieved now.
However, it is difficult for them to go to the money house and want to surpass the Sun family's money house. I'm not bragging."
Everyone agrees with this point. It is difficult for them to surpass Zhang Hao's cross-ethnic advantages, at least in a short period of time.
Those who rushed in to open a money house must have a lot of understanding of Sun's money house, and some even arranged for people to go in and steal the masters, or poach people from Sun's money house.
But they can only imitate and it is difficult to surpass. They can't get the core things, such as the hard-to-imitate Sun's money shop money ticket making technology.
The key figures in the Sun family's industry are very careful in protecting Sun's security. It is difficult to succeed in tying people, assassinating, temptation, etc.
After more than half a year since the Sun Family Money House was established, no one has made a wrong idea to steal or rob the Sun Family Money House, but they all failed. They were either arrested by the Sun Family Security Security personnel or trapped by the authorities in the Sun Family Money House and failed.
It's so solid!
