Let us say that Li Shimin rejected the requests of Queen Changsun and Concubine Yang.
He wants to go to the tenement building alone.
This time, it was Concubine Yang who took the initiative to contact Li Min.
Let him prepare in advance.
However, the reason for Li Shimin's visit this time was not revealed.
Due to Concubine Yang's constant pleading, Li Min decided to see him.
When the two met, they didn't exchange much greetings.
They sat together like strangers.
Li Min made him a cup of tea, and he just looked at everything outside the window, lost in thought.
The two of them continued like this for a long time.
Li Min didn't take the initiative to say anything.
But Li Shimin finally couldn't bear it anymore.
"you……"
The words came to his lips, but he swallowed them back.
However, Li Min was more generous.
"Let's talk. If you have anything to do with me, let's keep it short and don't waste each other's time, because everyone is very busy! There is no time for such leisure!"
As an emperor, isn't his time valuable?
But it was obvious that he didn't know what he was afraid of, or was doing some mental construction, so he didn't express his intentions.
The more this happens, it is undoubtedly a waste of everyone's time.
Li Shimin then sighed.
Looking at the steaming tea cup, I couldn’t help but take a sip!
He didn't know what the tea tasted like, but he just felt a warm current in his abdomen.
He put down the cup.
Then he asked: "Do you know how to quickly increase the revenue of the treasury?"
He still knows how to ask questions. He dare not say that the national treasury is in deficit, but only wants to increase revenue.
Mentioning the word "fast" at the same time means that you need money very much.
But these words had reached Li Min's ears, and he had already understood their meaning.
It sounds like the treasury is running out of money.
But he didn't expose it further, he just responded.
"To increase the revenue of the treasury? Isn't it just to increase taxes? To sell off the things belonging to the imperial court, such as mines, which are fixed assets owned by the imperial court.
For example, houses and some rare treasures brought in as tribute from other countries are sold to the private sector. Or mineral mining rights are sold to the private sector on an annual basis. Wouldn't that be great?
With the Tang Dynasty being such a vast land, there are naturally a lot of these things. This can be done in minutes."
Li Shimin looked at Li Min and had his own thoughts.
So he said: "What you said is easy! There must be a buyer. In the entire Tang Dynasty, you are probably the only one with such strength. Even though the land owned by the Tang Dynasty is so large, many people have a demand for minerals.
, it is not as strong as your group. It is okay to want to sell it, but the price is pitifully low. Even to the point that no one cares about it. There are other tribute items, so how can you sell them? Even if you don’t have any money anymore
, we can’t sell it either! This is a matter of face!”
You have no money, are you still concerned about money?
It turns out that this emperor had a lot on his mind.
This surprised Li Min.
You don't want to sell?
If you want money again, why don’t you wait for someone to give you money?
Li Shimin added: "Besides these, is there any other way?"
"Yes, investment, you can invest a sum of money into my group. By the end of the year, I will give you generous returns. This is much easier than selling those mineral fixed assets!"
Investing is a good idea.
Li Shimin also wanted to invest the whole country into the group.
But investing requires money.
What he desperately needs now is money.
"Is there any other way?"
What's wrong with this person? Is there any other way?
"Of course there is. Increase mineral mining, especially gold mining. Will you sell the gold or make money again?"
"Short term! Is there any chance in the short term?"
Li Shimin asked again.
After all, gold mining is a long-term thing.
The gap in the national treasury is too big now, even if we are going all out to mine gold.
But this takes a long time.
Li Shimin only needs to get through this stage.
Is this what Li Min noticed?
"I'm sorry, are you here to trick me? If you have anything to say, just tell me! We don't have to beat around the bush!"
Li Shimin was shocked. No one had ever dared to speak to him like this.
But Li Min dared to say this.
But he was not angry.
Instead, he pondered for a moment.
"I'm not trying to trick you. What I want to say is that if the Tang Dynasty goes bad, can your group be safe? The Tang Dynasty is a country, and your group is a family. Without a country, where would a family be? If the country is good,
, your group will be better, right?"
Li Shimin is a smart man and knows how to seize this point to talk to Li Min.
When he said this, it left people speechless.
Li Min is a man who understands Dali.
Then he said: "I knew you would say this. Well, for the sake of Datang, I can help you!"
Li Shimin was happy in his heart, but there was nothing on his expression.
"Then how can you help me?"
Li Shimin asked curiously.
"Loan! Interest-bearing loan. I can give you a loan of 110 million taels, but the interest is one-tenth of the annual income! That means that after one year, you have to pay back 110 million taels to me.
If you don’t repay it, it will add up in the second year! Interest will compound! If you don’t repay it in three years, I will take back all your shares in Datang Bank! I wonder if you can accept this? If you can accept it,
Then we’ve settled on it!”
Li Min is not a philanthropist, he also wants to survive.
It still needs to develop.
The money he lent to Li Shimin was considered to be at a low interest rate.
And Li Shimin seemed to have no choice.
No matter what, after I got rich, this matter was solved.
"How about it? If you think it's okay, I'll draw up a loan contract and wait for you to seal it. The 100 million taels can be withdrawn from Datang Bank at any time! Or I can have someone send it to the palace."
"Okay! I promise you!"
Li Shimin said.
In this way, this matter is considered over.
In fact, he has also calculated that for the money he invested in Datang Bank, he would probably earn more than 20 to 30 million taels per year.
That is to say, he himself receives tens of millions taels less a year and borrows 100 million taels to spend.
This is a good thing.
Next year, or even next year, he can pay it off.
If you pay it back early, the interest will not be much.
"Okay! Just wait for me!"
After finishing, Li Min walked to his desk and quickly wrote down two contracts.
And, he signed the contract.
Also stamped.
It's best to leave it to Li Shimin.
Li Shimin took it and looked at it. The articles written on it were very complete.
It's really hard to believe that Li Min drafted such a complete contract in less than ten minutes.
"Don't forget, once the seal is stamped, the contract will come into effect. When the money is paid back one day, the contract will be destroyed!"
"Okay! I understand!"
Li Shimin took the contract.
Then he left the tenement building.
He didn't want to stay in this place any longer.
Because he felt that he was being oppressed by Li Min.
