"But the premise is that the Liu family has always been useful."
Liu Sida's thinking was clear, and he said decisively: "But it is very difficult to always be useful."
"Whether it is salt transportation or sweet potatoes, it seems that they are all run by the Liu family, but any family can do as well as the Liu family. What's more, the salt transportation court does not allow private merchants to enter. It is a concession granted by the East Palace.
.”
"And that sweet potato is now on the right track. In the future, it will be promoted throughout the country, which will be the foundation for the Qin Dynasty to establish the world. This is an important weapon of the country, the country, and the country. The prince will not let the Liu family interfere. Our Liu family wants to live for a long time.
You can't interfere at all."
"So in these two matters, the Liu family has no room to continue to play a role, but the bank is different."
When he said this, Liu Sida's eyes gleamed, and he said: "The prince wants to open a bank because he is interested in the huge cash flow, which can help the court to increase revenue for the national treasury, so this must be a business that the court will insist on for a long time.
.”
"But the officials don't know how to do this business, and they don't even bother to do it, so we must have trustworthy and reliable people to manage it for the Crown Prince."
"The opportunity for our Liu family is here."
"The 20% shares may seem small, but once the bank starts operating, the funds will flow like water."
"I also know some time-honored banks in some places. If you are a regular customer, you can borrow money."
"Interest on one person or one place is nothing."
"But the money banks opened by the imperial court are all over the country, and the real owner of the money banks is the prince, or even the future Lord Long Live."
"The food is the interest of tens of millions of people and the territory of thousands of miles. The interest of these 20% shares is greater than the salt fortune in my opinion!"
Liu Sida, whose cheeks were slightly red with excitement, said: "What's more important is that as long as the bank runs maturely and stably, the prince can easily replace those who can't manage it, and our Liu family will always have usable value. This is how we can settle down for a long time."
fundamental.”
After hearing this, Liu Sichun couldn't help but re-examine his second brother.
"Second brother, you have changed a lot during this time."
"I've thought of some things, but I'm not as comprehensive as you."
Liu Sichun stood up and said seriously: "With your support, second brother, this matter will definitely be accomplished."
Liu Sida laughed and said: "You and I, brothers and sisters, can break gold if we work together."
"Okay, in that case, without further ado, let's immediately go to the Wu family to discuss the advance payment for next year's goods."
...
"Your Highness."
In the brightly lit Xi Zheng Palace, Sanbao delivered a piece of information to Li Chen.
What was written on it was clearly the meeting held by the Liu family after Liu Sichun returned, including the entire conversation between Liu Sichun's brother and sister. The content was so detailed and accurate that it seemed as if the recorder was sitting next to them.
Li Chen glanced at it and said with a smile: "In addition to Liu Sichun, there is someone in the Liu family who understands."
Sanbao asked in a low voice: "The person who threatened to come to the East Palace to bargain, does he need..."
"No need."
Li Chen interrupted Sanbao's words and glared at him, "You have to be tolerant. You have to care about the things that others talk about for fun. Can you handle it?"
Sanbao smiled and said: "Yes, yes, His Highness is magnanimous, and this servant can never be as generous as you."
Sanbao added: "In addition, there have been rumors in the palace these days about His Highness and the Queen..."
The concubine who broke into the scene that day immediately appeared in Li Chen's mind. He looked cold and said: "Find out who chewed the tongue, find it out, and deal with it."
