If you want to set up a bank, then the government can only provide you with a guarantee of credibility and no money at all. Therefore, if you can actively stand up to support Li Xinchen at this time, then Li Xinchen will definitely not treat them badly in the future.
Similarly, for Li Xingchen, if you want economic development, you must let money flow. If this wealth is always concentrated in the treasury of these aristocratic families, then the aristocratic families will always be so rich, and the people will always be so poor.
Li Xinchen would never allow such a scene to appear under his rule.
However, it is not a new thing for big families to save money. Everyone hopes that the family can have more money. Only with money can they feel confident. Therefore, Li Xingchen must change their concept.
Once there is not enough money in the market, the government will have to mint more coins to prevent poverty and non-circulation of materials, and at the same time prevent the phenomenon of barter. When people begin to trade by barter
, it means that they have automatically ignored the government as a middleman to provide coins.
When the people have become accustomed to the absence of the government in their lives, or even to the fact that the government only brings them endless taxes, then everything has become irreversible. A single spark can start a prairie fire. When a place appears
If there is a rebellion and the government is unable to suppress it, then another place will definitely rise up soon.
Was Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty in history overthrown by the people because of inaction and cruelty? Li Xingchen believed that it was not just this reason. Although Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty was extravagant and lustful, whether he opened the canal or expedition to Korea, he was actually
In order to maintain the stability of the country's borders and promote economic communication between the north and the south, this is definitely not a bad thing. In order to conquer the Xiongnu, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty squandered almost all the wealth accumulated during the Wenjing rule, and the people were even more poor than Wenjing.
period, but this did not prevent him from becoming a famous emperor in the hearts of the people throughout the ages.
In Li Xingchen's view, perhaps economic factors were the culprit that led to the eventual disintegration of the Sui Dynasty. The construction of the canal was definitely a great success, but the high expenditure during the construction caused the Sui Dynasty government to be unable to make ends meet, and it wanted to rely on this canal in a short period of time.
It was impossible to gain benefits from the canal, not to mention the repeated failures of the expedition to Goryeo, coupled with Yang Xuangan's rebellion, etc. In the end, the Sui Dynasty died due to lack of money and Emperor Sui Yang was unable to make money.
Even Yang Xuangan's rebellion and Li Xingchen had reason to doubt whether it was because of the shortage of the national treasury that the Sui Dynasty officials at that time increased their search for aristocratic families. Otherwise, the Hongnong Yang family, who was at least considered a relative of the emperor at that time, had no reason to take risks——
Of course, the Hongnong Yang family has always had bold people since they made their fortune.
Of course, these are just speculations. After all, in ancient times, no one paid much attention to the economy, which resulted in only a few words left in the records. However, from another angle, it may be confirmed, that is, the three major granaries of the Sui Dynasty.
The grain stored in Luokou Cang and Huiluocang was still uneaten until the Tang Dynasty, but outside Cangcheng, people were starving. Of course, the Sui Dynasty's hoarding of grain was out of strategic and national stability considerations, but
They have forgotten that the people do not have food to eat at all times, and the unpredictable weather will affect their annual harvest. When the harvest is not good for too long, the people will definitely take risks in order to survive.
If the hoarded food and grass cannot allow the people to survive, then there is no use in hoarding more.
Therefore, what is certain is that if money does not flow, and if Li Xingchen cannot use the current money to create more wealth, then his foundation will inevitably be shaken. Therefore, Li Xingchen must find a way to make it available to various aristocratic families and government treasuries.
Money is flowing, and wealth is provided to the people instead of hiding wealth in officials.
Otherwise, given the current situation Li Xingchen is in, although taxes have been reduced, it will be difficult for the people to get rich in a short time. In order to prevent inflation, Li Xingchen cannot mint coins on a large scale, especially in Bashu and even the entire world.
The currency market is very chaotic, otherwise the form of barter trade will not gradually take over the mainstream. Therefore, what Li Xingchen needs to do is to recycle the chaotic coins and re-cast and issue new coins.
To accomplish this, collecting all the coins into a bank is obviously a good choice. This is why Li Xingchen is anxious to bring out the concept of a bank this time, because only in this way can these aristocratic families use their money.
Taking it out will allow the interests of these aristocratic families to be completely integrated with the interests of the entire country. It will also give Li Xingchen the ability and confidence to integrate the currency system.
He did not seek to directly replace copper coins with banknotes, but at least he wanted to be able to use unified coins within his jurisdiction.
"As long as His Highness can ensure that we can get more income after our investment, even if it is just a little more, then our Xiajiang Tang Family will increase our net worth." Tang Deng said in a deep voice, which can be regarded as a statement on behalf of the Xiajiang Tang Family.
In the large Tang family in Xiajiang, although Tang Yishun, Tang Zhengliang and other juniors are now in charge of the basic affairs of the family, when it comes to the future of the family, decisions cannot be made without these older generations.
.
And Tang Deng is the one in charge of finance among the elders in the family, and he has always had a ruthless vision. Now that even he is sure that it is beneficial and harmless to follow Li Xinchen to open this bank, then the elders in the family will no longer object.
The attitude of the Tang family in Xiajiang has been decided, and the rest of the Dong family, Qin family, etc. no longer hesitate. Originally, there was nothing wrong with Li Xingchen's statement. This method was indeed something that no one had ever thought of before. Of course, it was also
Because no one has enough credibility to make a guarantee.
After all, the local government in Bashu was already in a state of chaos, and the Xiajiang Tang clan itself was also in disarray. Its influence on Shu County and even Hanzhong was far from what it is now. Of course, even the Xiajiang Tang clan is now
They did not really go deep into the north, and they were not stupid. Of course, they knew that blind expansion would only lead to suppression by Li Xingchen.
But now Li Xingchen relies on the government and his own credibility as a guarantee, which means that the government's violent institutions will maintain this system, so everyone has nothing to worry about.
Looking at the other representatives of the aristocratic families who all agreed, Li Xingchen let out a soft breath.
The establishment of a bank is of course only the first step in developing the economy. With a bank there, you can better raise funds and mobilize money. Only in this way can you improve infrastructure and increase investment in new technology research and development.
Only in this way can more wealth be created.
Money can make money, as long as it is not piled up. (To be continued)
