Li Ke also quickly expressed his stance.
"Yes, father, the child will definitely cooperate fully to benefit Brother Bi."
Li Shimin nodded with satisfaction. "Okay, what I need is your drive and drive."
"In order to avoid suspicion, Sanlang Cheng, you should continue to be idle until the Luoyang Palace is built..."
As soon as he said this, Li Ke coughed and choked, as if he was in the late stages of tuberculosis.
Cheng Chubi silently smacked his lips, originally he was so happy that he wanted to sneak into the team of generals and supervisors.
If I could get a job as a juvenile prisoner, I would have a good exchange with that Yan Da artist every now and then.
Maybe we can meet each other and let go of grudges and get some calligraphy and painting works from him.
However, what Li Shimin said was coupled with his father’s previous reminder.
Cheng Chubi knew very well that although no one had mentioned the matter of moving the capital openly.
But whether it was the Li family and his son, or the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, everyone already understood what was going on.
Therefore, if you have an official status, it will be really difficult for you to act well, and it will be easy for others to get into trouble.
If he were just an ordinary Tang Dynasty citizen, he would be willing to spend a lot of money to build a palace in Luoyang for His Majesty the Tang Dynasty Emperor.
Instead, everyone could only stare and have nothing to say.
Li Shimin glared at Li Ke, thought for a while, and then told the two young men the news he had received from the embroiderer.
Cheng Chubi and Li Ke looked very ugly. If it weren't for the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, Cheng Chubi would have wanted to greet those old guys properly.
I didn't even take a penny from the imperial court, and yet I came to target me, haha... I also thought of playing dirty tricks against Mr. Cheng.
Seeing Cheng Sanlang's furious expression and his eyes darting around, Li Shimin spoke to comfort him.
"My dear nephew, they only dare to use such destructive tactics to deal with you. As long as you deal with it carefully, nothing serious should happen."
"I will also keep an eye on them. If they ever break the rules, I will deal with them in accordance with the law and punish them severely."
"Besides, my dear nephew, if you have any other ideas or ideas, just put them forward. If I can help you, I won't refuse."
Hearing these words, Cheng Chu's heart moved. "Since uncle has said so, my nephew really has an idea. I hope uncle will approve it."
"Oh? Tell me, let me see if it's feasible."
Seeing Cheng Sanlang's eyes shining, Li Shimin couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.
The main reason is that I don’t know what outrageous conditions this young guy with a bright mind will propose, so I need to stabilize myself first.
Not only Li Shimin, but also Li Ke looked at Brother Chu Bi with wide eyes.
After all, when I came here with Brother Chu Bi, I was forced by Brother Chu Bi to discuss another matter.
So Li Ke didn't know what Brother Chu Bi was trying to do with his eyes shining at this moment.
"My nephew heard that in the past few years in the Tang Dynasty, the trend of privately minting coins among the people has gradually increased. This is all caused by the insufficient minting of coins in the Tang Dynasty."
"And those private coins are not only of different sizes, but also of different weights, which can easily disrupt our Tang Dynasty's property market and affect business transactions."
"When we were in Luzhou, not only were privately minted copper coins circulating, but there were even some places where low-quality iron coins were used to deceive the poor people."
"So, my nephew feels that instead of letting those private minters in the private sector do whatever they want, it is better to give this job to Han and Tang Trading Company."
"..." Li Shimin looked at Cheng Sanlang blankly and said after a long time.
"You mean, you want the imperial court to allow your Han and Tang Dynasty merchant houses to mint coins privately?"
Hearing this and seeing Li Shimin's strange expression, Cheng Chubi quickly shook his head.
"No, no, uncle, you may be mistaken. Our Han and Tang Trading Company has never engaged in counterfeit and shoddy goods.
What the nephew means is that since the imperial court is not willing to mint coins now.
It would be better to ask the imperial court to issue a special decree to allow our Han and Tang Dynasty Commercial Bank to become the only officially designated minting institution authorized by the imperial court."
Li Shimin looked at Cheng Sanlang and couldn't help but glance at Li Ke next to him.
Li Ke took in a breath with toothache. What does this guy want to do? For such a big thing as minting coins, he actually took the idea out without even discussing it.
Li Shimin looked at Cheng Sanlang with a bit of laughter and laughter, who was willing to spend all his family wealth for the sake of the Tang Dynasty.
"You mean, your Han and Tang merchant houses are willing to mint coins for the imperial court?"
"Exactly." Cheng Chubi rolled his eyes unhappily when he saw Li Ke's eyes repeatedly passing him over.
How could this slut know how profitable minting is, and how awesome this minting right thing is?
But now was not the time to explain to him, so Cheng Chubi could only use his eyes to threaten Li Ke not to say anything, and he would explain to him later.
Li Shimin sighed helplessly. Could it be that he had punished the old Cheng family's salary too harshly in the past few years, causing this kid's mentality to become distorted?
Perhaps what he was thinking was that since the imperial court would not provide salaries to the Cheng family, the Cheng family would have to coin their own money to pay for their salaries?
But I want you to make a profit for the sake of your hard work as the Supreme Emperor and the Tang Dynasty.
Instead of just watching your kid turn yourself into a pauper, okay?
"Cheng Sanlang, do you know that coin minting is not a business. If you treat it as a business, I can tell you the truth, you will definitely lose money."
"Do you know that the copper, tin and other materials required for the imperial court's coinage alone cost almost six hundred coins?
And there is also the need to pay for the capital after the service period of the craftsman Ding, which leads to the cost of casting a lot of money, even from 200 to 300 yuan..."
"Uncle, my nephew has specifically inquired about this cost when he was in Luzhou.
But my Han-Tang Trading Company also has several copper mines, so instead of just leaving them there, we might as well use them to mint coins."
"Besides, my nephew feels that minting coins should be a profitable business.
How could I actually lose money when I get to the imperial court? This is really puzzling to my nephew."
Seeing Cheng Chubi chirping stubbornly in front of him, Li Shimin shook his head helplessly.
"Cheng Sanlang, are you sure you want the right to mint coins? You must think clearly that the coins you mint must be as exquisite as the official coins minted by the imperial court.
It can't be cast by just a few craftsmen."
Seeing that Brother Chu Bi still had something to say, Li Ke, who was already extremely anxious, quickly interrupted.
"Father, if we don't do this, let's wait for Brother Chubi to cast the money sample first.
If it can be as exquisite as the coins minted by the imperial court, how about we discuss this matter again?"
"Okay, Ke'er's words have won my heart, so the matter is settled."
Cheng Chubi glanced dumbly at Li Ke, who had a very innocent expression, and then at Uncle Li, who was thinking about your kid.
Come on, if that's the case, then I'm still talking nonsense, and I can only see the real chapter under my hands.
