Chapter 545 Banking laws are promulgated and branches are opened directly. The nature of businessmen is profit-seeking.
That afternoon, a news spread throughout Chang'an City.
It was said that the imperial court was going to legislate for banks to crack down on some bank crimes, and the issue of counterfeit currency was specifically mentioned.
Moreover, this legislator was organized by Hou Junji of the Ministry of Personnel, and cooperated with Li Daozong, the Minister of Xingbu, and everyone in the Ministry of Punishment to legislate.
Regarding Xingbu, they are professional and can give very reasonable laws.
Therefore, the punishment is not light and can achieve the purpose of deterring people.
The most serious one is directly the death penalty, while the lighter one starts with one year in prison.
Of course, some fines will still be added, which are the heaviest penalties for business people.
Some people may ask here, why is it not directly legislated by the Ministry of Punishment?
Because there was no specialized legislative body in ancient times, there were only specialized judicial organs (Dali Temple) and judicial administrative organs (Ministry of Punishment).
Therefore, the legal codes in ancient China were basically compiled by several ministers appointed by the emperor.
This involves Li Shimin ordering whoever is happy to enact this law.
And where there is a law, there is a punishment.
Therefore, Hou Junji was asked to preside over it and the Ministry of Punishment was involved.
Li Min had already learned about this news from Li Yuan.
At the same time, the news quickly reached Changsun Wuji.
That frightened Changsun Wuji.
He went directly to the Hou Mansion with a lot of money to find Hou Junji.
Regarding this matter, Li Min, who was deeply involved in the Shengtang Group, also heard about it.
At this time, Zhu Shan was talking quietly to Li Min.
Li Min was shocked!
"Changsun Wuji really went to find Hou Junji?"
"That's right! After Changsun Wuji found out that Hou Junji was the person in charge of legislation, he immediately went to Hou Junji's house with one million taels."
One million taels.
That's not a small amount.
But it seems too late to think of using money to settle things now.
"Then what? Did Hou Junji receive him?"
This is curious.
Li Min also knew that the relationship between the two had become very bad since that time.
"Then how dare Hou Junji open the door? He directly turned Changsun Wuji away! He is still outside the door of the Hou Mansion! Even the people from the Ministry of Punishment did not dare to kill Changsun Wuji."
At this time, you still have to avoid suspicion, because if you really meet, you may provoke people to talk. It will also make Li Shimin think too much, which will not be good for anyone.
"Hahaha! You deserve it!"
Li Min laughed.
After all, there are still some grievances between the two of them. Now that Hou Junji is responsible for introducing legislation, Changsun Wuji must be very panicked. After all, he made the counterfeit currency. If the banking law comes out, he will definitely find out.
I am afraid that I will not be able to stand again in the future. I finally took possession of the Wang family, but because of my previous mistakes, I now have to bear the consequences that he cannot bear.
At the same time, Changsun Wuji wanted to slap himself. Why didn’t he have a good relationship with Hou Junji before?
Plus, there are eyeliners everywhere, how dare Hou Junji accept them?
You don't even dare to meet people anymore. The more this happens, the more you have to avoid suspicion.
So the above situation happened.
After Li Min finished laughing, he said: "It would be better if Changsun Wuji didn't go looking for him. If he does, Hou Junji will definitely increase the punishment when he enacts legislation. Changsun Wuji will probably be in trouble!"
This is all he could think of.
It was also the most direct punishment that Changsun Wuji received.
"Then Changsun Wuji must die this time? After death, there will be no threat to us!"
Zhu Shan asked curiously.
"Do you think he will die so easily? Then you are underestimating him! There is an emperor behind him. If you want to die, it will not be easy. The emperor will consider brotherhood and let him go. And
, this man is very cunning, it will not be easy to kill him! He is already prepared to deal with it. "
Li Min didn't take it seriously, he said this.
He has already researched everything about the future.
Zhu Shan was very confused when he heard this.
It turns out that there is such a relationship between them.
"Okay, you can ask someone to pay more attention to the situation of the two of them, and report back at any time!"
"Understood! I'll go first then!"
At this moment Zhu Shan left.
Then, Ji Ruxue walked in.
"Mr. Zili, the Lu family, the Cui family and the Zheng family are all here!"
Previously, Li Min had summoned people from three families to come to Shengtang Group.
He said he had something important to say.
If these three companies were not attached to the Shengtang Group, they might not be able to survive alone.
With the help of these three companies, Shengtang Group's business will only grow bigger and bigger.
Both sides are indispensable.
"Let them in!"
"yes!"
Then, a group of people entered Li Min's office directly.
These people looked at their surroundings and couldn't help but sigh.
The decoration here is really luxurious.
Among them, some of them who have been to the palace couldn't help but sigh: "The palace can't compare to this place! This place is more luxurious than anywhere else! When can we decorate an existence like this!"
Even the splendid palace cannot compare with this place. This may be their highest evaluation of this place.
Someone responded: "That's impossible, Mr. Zili can't imitate it!"
"It must be very pleasant to live here every day?"
"Nonsense, of course!"
…
"Everyone, sit down! You're welcome! Someone come and serve tea!"
"yes!"
Li Min motioned for everyone to sit down.
Everyone sat down solemnly.
These people are all descendants of aristocratic families,
But here, everyone seems like a country boy who has never seen the world!
Perhaps, among these people, only Lu Chun and Zheng Bufan came here. The others had not been here before and had not been invited. Most of them arrived in Chang'an in the morning!
As for Master Cui Ren, he did not appear because he had other matters in the court. He was replaced by someone else from the clan.
Then, when the milk tea and other items were served, these dozens of people were going crazy.
Drinking, watching, and sighing constantly.
Li Min was used to everyone's behavior.
Whoever it is, no one can control this situation.
Even Queen Changsun and the others were not much better when they first came.
After a while.
Lu Chun first said: "Mr. Zili, why are you asking us to come here at this time?"
He comes here quite often and is very familiar with this place.
Zheng Bufan then asked: "Yes, is there anything we need to do? If so, just ask the servants to come over and notify. Do you still need to come forward?"
The others followed and were also very curious. What was the purpose of bringing everyone here?
They are mostly from a few major families from various places.
He is the person in charge there, in charge of the actions of the aristocratic families in various parts of the Tang Dynasty.
During this period, their relationship with Li Min became increasingly close.
Especially after some factories export their products, their profits are constantly rising. Li Min is their bread and butter.
Everyone also stopped what they were doing and looked at Li Min's face.
Only then did he speak slowly.
"That's right, my Shengtang Bank was a great success! A large amount of deposits were deposited into the bank!"
A simple sentence made everyone happy.
Because his purpose in saying this must be to share some benefits with them.
It's like outsourcing from the factory before.
Then everyone stared at him closely, hoping that he would say something that would make everyone more excited.
"The bank needs a lot of manpower and will open branches all over Datang."
As soon as these words came out, everyone was even more ecstatic.
Then, they must have been taken into consideration.
At this time, no one dared to say a word. They were more interested in knowing what Li Min was going to say next.
"So, I want to recruit some scholars from your three great families to join the bank and become bank employees! This is the first point. I don't know, what do you think?"
As soon as this was said, everyone started to discuss it.
Ninety percent of people agree.
Na Lu Chun said: "In the past year, fewer and fewer people from my Lu family have served in the imperial court, and there are also a few who have been demoted to the rank of common people due to some mistakes. If this continues, the scholars in the family will probably have nothing to do.
, it might be a good thing if you can join the bank and share the pressure for the family!"
So Lu Chun agreed.
These are also some of the results of Li Shimin's purge of the children of aristocratic families as officials.
As for Zheng Bufan, he said: "I, the Zheng family of Chang'an, are able to survive until now with the support of Mr. Li, and the family business is getting bigger and bigger. For the scholars in the family, I am willing to let them join the bank and work hard to become a bank."
!”
Not to mention Zheng Bufan, he was very grateful to Li Min for his help. If it hadn't been for Li Min, the Zheng family would have been doomed.
Li Min was very satisfied with the two people's statements.
Once they open their mouths, everything will go faster.
As for the others, he looked at them with his eyes.
These people naturally followed the trend and expressed their wishes one after another.
Because, if not, they won't even be able to drink the soup in the future. Watching others continue to get stronger following Li Min, they may stagnate.
Everyone agreed with Li Min's approach.
The reason why Li Min did this was that, on the one hand, he lacked talents, and it was fastest to recruit talents from aristocratic families.
On the other hand, it is because the imperial court is now expelling people from aristocratic families, and people from aristocratic families have nowhere to go, so why not do something for themselves?
"Very good, I will keep your decision in mind! Then there is one more thing! I want to set up bank branches in Qinglongfang and Guiyifang!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone really understood.
This is the most important existence.
Chang'an has 108 squares, which is very large.
Among them, the area near East Market is the most prosperous, followed by West Market.
There are already people there in the West Market.
As for Qinglongfang and Guiyifang, they are located on the left and right of the south gate of Chang'an City.
If two major branches are established, the entire Chang'an will be covered, and it will also provide convenience to ordinary people and businessmen.
If they want to do business, they don't have to go to Shengtang Group, they can go directly to two of them.
This will also reduce the pressure outside Shengtang Group.
After all, a large number of businessmen and people crowded the East Market that day, which made him a little worried.
If you set up a branch, this pressure will no longer exist.
Lu Chun asked: "Congratulations to Mr. Zili for opening a bank and branch!"
Zheng Bufan then said: "Yes, Shengtang Group will become the number one entity in Datang in the future."
Others also had nice things to say.
Li Min signaled everyone to calm down.
Then he added: "As for the presidents of the two branches, I want Lu Chun and Zheng Bufan to serve as presidents. Do you have any opinions?"
As soon as he said this, everyone was in an uproar.
That's simply a fat job.
As the head of the Lu family, it goes without saying that Lu Chun is very shrewd.
Zheng Bufan is also quite famous in Chang'an.
It is perfect for two people to manage two branches.
"We support them!"
"Yes, I'm afraid there is no one more suitable than them!"
"In this case, Shengtang Group will definitely become even bigger!"
…
Everyone agrees.
"What about you? What do you think?"
Lu Chun said excitedly: "Mr. Xie Zili is interested in it, and I, Lu Chun, am willing!"
"I, Zheng Bufan, am also willing!"
"Okay then, you go find the location now, we will decorate it tomorrow and see if it can be opened before the year!"
The two of them responded in unison.
As for others, they looked at him with envy.
Li Min said: "Everyone, please cooperate with me and let me see your determination. In the future, Shengtang Bank will bloom all over Datang, and you will be the most likely to serve as the president!"
After saying this, everyone was very excited.
Joining the Shengtang Group is equivalent to making a fortune.
As for Li Min Zeyan, there were some things that he couldn't handle. After all, there were too many.
He let go of things that should be delegated to others and let everyone earn.
As a result, the dozens of people stayed for another hour and then left.
When the group of people were leaving, Ji Ruxue walked over.
"Mr. Zili, will these aristocratic people really work wholeheartedly for the Shengtang Group?"
This is her concern.
That's what she wanted to know too.
"Will do!"
"Why?"
"Because of profit!"
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Benefits?"
"The nature of businessmen is profit-seeking! As long as there are interests, they will not betray us! And the reason why I let Lu Chun and Zheng Bufan join us is because Yuan Tiangang has seen their faces, and these two can
Of course I have to make good use of them! The final success is that the Lu family and the Zheng family will no longer exist and will belong to my Shengtang Group! By then, won’t it be easy to control them? "
After what Li Min said, Ji Ruxue understood.
"I see, I didn't think enough about this!"
"You will understand in the future!"
In fact, there is another point, that is, Li Min can see the future.
If he finds that the future is not good, he can stop the loss in time.
Eliminate all those who are not good for you.
In this way, we will surely be invincible.
"What Mr. Zili said is true, and I have learned from it!"
"Okay, how are you doing what I asked you to do last time?"
"We have collected some clues and evidence, and also learned about the den where counterfeit currency is manufactured."
"Very good, I'll sort it out when the time comes. I'll send someone to the palace directly. If he wants to join our Shengtang Bank, he has to do something for me!"
"Mr. Zili wants to lend His Majesty's hand to crack down on counterfeit currency now?"
Ji Ruxue asked.
"That's it! It's already being legislated. The sooner this happens, the better."
This is shocking.
You know, no one in this world dares to take advantage of Li Shimin, but there is one person who dares to do so in front of Ji Ruxue.
"Then I have to deal with these things quickly."
"Thanks a lot."
"Sir, what are you talking about? Ruxue is already satisfied that she can be a family member with you."
Li Min looked at Ji Ruxue gratefully.
This made her a little embarrassed.
"By the way, sir, do you have anything else to do? If there is nothing else, I will go and get busy first."
Ji Ruxue asked.
"No more, go and do your business!"
"Understood! If you need anything, just tell me."
Afterwards, Ji Ruxue retreated.
As for Li Min, he continued to work on his research.
And at this time.
There was a crowd of people standing in front of Hou Junji's house, led by Changsun Wuji.
He shouted loudly to the Hou Mansion: "Well done, you Hou Junji! Now that you have become His Majesty's favorite, you have forgotten everything. I think you accepted so many favors from me at that time and took so much money from me."
.And I want to see you but you won’t let me. How can there be such an ungrateful person like you in this world?”
But no matter how loud Sun Wuji was, Hou Junji wouldn't come out.
Hou Junji's actions made Changsun Wuji even more angry.
He directly led people to surround Hou Junji's house.
Finally, Hou Junji turned to Cheng Yaojin for help and drove them away.
At this time, they did not know that the news about Changsun Wuji's visit to Hou Junji had reached Li Shimin's ears.
Li Shimin was furious after hearing this.
"Hou Junji is so courageous, he dares to accept bribes from the people! I am very disappointed!"
Queen Changsun said: "Your Majesty, although Hou Junji has made mistakes, his research on law is very profound, and he has not met my eldest brother. If he is not allowed to preside over the banking law at this time, I am afraid he will be out tomorrow.
Don’t come! Maybe we can let him offset the effort, after all, in the Tang Dynasty, other than him, others may not be able to do it.”
Empress Changsun still stands from the perspective of a princess when it comes to this kind of matter.
Although Changsun Wuji was acting for his elder brother, his elder brother committed crimes and opposed Li Min everywhere. To oppose him was to prevent the development of the Tang Dynasty.
As far as matters are concerned, she still helps with the affairs rather than with the relatives.
Hence, what I just said.
If this matter happened to Wang Guifei, he might directly help his own people.
This is also the reason why she is a virtuous queen.
After what she said, Li Shimin became rational.
He breathed a sigh of relief.
"The queen is right. Let's see if he can come up with something tomorrow. If it works, I will allow him to compare his efforts! If it doesn't work, I will get angry!"
Li Shimin originally wanted to leave the legislation to others.
But what Queen Changsun said makes sense.
To do this quickly, Hou Jun must be gathered.
Moreover, he did not come out to see Changsun Wuji.
It's not easy to get angry either.
This is what it is.
"By the way, I heard that the traitor wanted to open branches in Qinglongfang and Guiyifang, and also hired people from the Lu and Zheng families. What do you think of this matter, Queen?"
Li Shimin was very puzzled by the reuse of the aristocratic family.
He also wanted to know Queen Changsun's true opinion on this matter.
When Empress Changsun heard about it, she realized that such a thing happened.
Then, she thought for a while and said:
"This matter should be a decision made by Min'er after careful consideration. As far as I know, the Lu and Zheng families have close exchanges with the Shengtang Group, and the Lu family's cars and boats have played a certain role in the development of the Shengtang Group.
This allowed their bicycles, glass and other products to grow in size and spread throughout the Tang Dynasty, thus making more money. The Zheng family worked closely with the Shengtang Group. They obeyed Min'er's orders in everything, which had never happened before.
Disobedient behavior. Therefore, I think that the child is trying to win over people's hearts and unite several major families to fight against the giant Wang and Li families."
The current Wang and Li families are still very powerful, after all, the background is there.
It is not an easy task to kill them all at once.
After Li Shimin heard this, he also thought for a while.
"What the Queen said is absolutely true, and I did the same thing. The way this kid dealt with it was really scary. Every step he took made people feel that he was playing a big game of chess, and anyone who was not careful would become his pawn.
"
Li Shimin probably also realized that at this time, he had also become Li Min's pawn.
It's just that he is willing to be the chess piece.
Because it’s for your own country.
"Yes, every step he takes has his own strong purpose. This purpose makes his achievements higher and higher. I don't know who taught him so many novel things and the principles of dealing with others.
"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "He is my son, and this naturally follows me!"
Li Shimin said very shamelessly.
Queen Changsun didn't say anything this time.
Because, no matter what, apart from their similar looks, Li Min seems to be better at handling things.
Li Shimin is more greedy.
But this kind of greed is excusable, because he is also doing it for the people, for the common people, and for his own country.
"By the way, I heard that Min'er built a hundred acres of land outside the south of the city. I don't know what he wants to do?"
Queen Changsun said so.
"That guy wants to set up a breeding factory. I heard he wants to raise chickens!"
"oh?"
It turns out that Li Shimin already knew what Li Min was going to do next.
The two fathers and sons have intelligence agents for each other.
It's just that Li Shimin's intelligence personnel are more open-minded, like the people who were killed by Kong Yingda.
And Li Min's intelligence personnel were existences that Li Shimin had never imagined.
Like Li Yuan and others.
Whenever something happens in the palace, Li Min will know it immediately.
"What can be produced by breeding? And the profit of this industry seems not to be high!"
"You can ask him for details! I don't know what he wants to do?"
"Perhaps he has smelled a hint of the rules of the new industry?"
Queen Changsun said suddenly.
This made Li Shimin pat his thigh.
"This is possible. How about I build one? Maybe it can also expand the national treasury?"
Li Shimin wants to engage in breeding with Li Min.
This reflects from another aspect that the locust plague in the coming year may not occur.
"I think it's okay. If I do this, I might be able to make a lot of money!"
"This way, it works! Let Wei Zheng handle this matter!"
Li Shimin expressed.
Li Shimin didn't know that with his follow-up, all the people in the place would start breeding after spring.
Because Shengtang Group never loses money in what it does.
As long as you follow him, it will be easy to make money.
Li Min was very satisfied with this point.
This is the effect he wants.
The next day, Hou Junji, holding a draft in his hands, and Li Daozong, the Minister of Punishment, were heading towards Tai Chi Palace in great excitement.
