Datang: Li Shimin begged me to rebel

The person who came was just to inform Li Shimin of the imperial decree. After the notification, he naturally left, leaving behind the three people in the hall looking at each other.

Li Ke: (?д?;)

Fang Xuanling: (?д?;)

Wei Zheng: (?д?;)

"Hey, did Your Majesty move to Daming Palace?" Fang Xuanling asked.

"He said to go and have a look." Li Ke's expression was dull.

Xuanzheng Hall in Daming Palace is similar to Liangyi Hall in Taiji Palace. The largest palace in Daming Palace, Hanyuan Hall, is larger than Taiji Hall, and the entire Daming Palace is four times the size of Taiji Palace.

The West Inner Garden, including the Daming Palace, is already under construction and connected to the north side of the Taiji Palace.

"Uh, I guess His Majesty might want to live there for a while. It's also possible. After all, the Daming Palace has been successfully built for so long, and the living environment after the construction is better than that of the Taiji Palace." Fang Xuanling said A more objective reason can be found from various aspects.

He could only say, Your Majesty, you are too eager for this, so you just threw it all to His Highness, and ran to Daming Palace by yourself.

Li Ke: "..."

He felt that there was always something wrong with this matter, so he decided to go to the back to take a look, but Fang Xuanling and Wei Zheng came to discuss work, and Li Ke could never leave them and leave.

"Zheng Guogong, I think my father is enjoying himself a little too much." Li Ke looked at Wei Zheng and asked.

Wei Zheng: "?"

Do you want to look at your Qinwangzhuang before talking about this matter? Of course, you are not an emperor, but a prince, and you spent your own money. I really have no right to say anything more.

"Your Highness, after Daming Palace was divided between royal private property and state property, Daming Palace belongs to the private property of the royal family. Your Majesty did not spend a penny of the imperial court's expenses, but only lived in his own palace, so this is not a real thing. Not enjoying it too much."

"Besides, His Majesty notified us directly just after he moved in. If there is anything to do, go directly to Xuanzheng Hall to find him. Obviously, he still hasn't forgotten his work." Wei Zheng said seriously.

Li Ke; "?"

Fang Xuanling: "?"

Both of them glanced at Wei Zheng suspiciously. Is the sun coming from the north?

"Your Highness, why bother to look at me like that? I, Wei Zheng, am just good at admonishing, not trying to argue." Wei Zheng said helplessly, do you have any misunderstandings about me?

Could it be that you think that when I have nothing to do, I just remonstrate and so on?

Forget it, let's not talk about it, I don't know when the old man's confidant will appear in this world.

"Well, Liang Guogong, so to speak, everything in the Tang Dynasty is booming, is the expenditure of the imperial treasury enough?" Li Ke nodded and asked.

"The current government expenditure is still sufficient, and the price of food and grass is not expensive. In addition, although the monthly payment of each soldier has increased, the overall expenditure is not large."

"As for other weapons and equipment that take up a lot of funds, because of the relationship with the state-owned commercial banks, the expenditure is not much." Fang Xuanling immediately said, although the military will reserve part of the profits when purchasing weapons and equipment from state-owned commercial banks, But this part of the profit is not as scary as the previous ironware facing the market.

Instead, about 50% of the profits are reserved for state-owned commercial banks according to the real profits.

The reason why there are so many profits is also because the renewal costs of some iron equipment and research and development costs are taken into account.

Although the R&D expenditures for these commercial firms are not too much at present, as time goes by, the research and development of commercial firms will definitely develop gradually.

The official Ordnance Research Institute will soon transfer the research and development of some common weapons directly to these state-owned firms that specialize in the production of weapons and equipment.

"But this year involves a new problem, that is, if the Ministry of Construction invests heavily in the construction of railways, especially as your Highness said, the income from infrastructure construction is very slow, and you are not prepared to make a profit If we operate the railway, then the construction of the railway will occupy most of the investment direction of the imperial court in the future."

"Of course, apart from personnel salaries, most of the railway investment is also spent on state-owned commercial banks. It can be regarded as left-handed and right-handed, but there must be some losses."

"In terms of finance, the imperial court's expenditure will soon be unable to keep up. In this regard, I don't know what arrangements His Highness has? Is it to print money directly?" Fang Xuanling looked at Li Ke and asked.

"It is impossible to print money directly. Printing money must be controlled within a certain range. Moreover, printing money must be calculated with auditing and statistics before it can be printed. If it is inexplicably printed indiscriminately, the currency of Datang will completely collapse in the future. gone."

"If you are short of money, you can issue special government bonds." Li Ke thought for a while and said directly.

"National debt?" Fang Xuanling and the others were stunned for a moment.

"It means borrowing money from the common people in the Tang Dynasty in the name of the imperial court. It can be divided into different periods such as three years ago, five years ago, and ten years. In addition, a certain amount of interest will be given, for example, the annual interest rate is 5% or more. It is about 6% to formulate the standard.”

"In this case, many people in the private sector should be able to subscribe for treasury bonds. In addition, treasury bonds can be set to be transferable, which means that private parties are allowed to trade treasury bonds with each other."

"You can ask Li Yan about the national debt. She understands that national debt can also be divided into different types. For example, the savings-type national debt is not allowed to be transferred, but it can be withdrawn in advance, can be renamed, and can be reported for loss, etc."

"Parents can buy a national bond for their children, and give it to him directly when he becomes an adult." Li Ke probably gave an example.

Fang Xuanling and the others were a little stunned when they heard that the state borrowed money from individuals, but His Highness seemed to have come up with a brand new method.

"Then if this is the case, what if the imperial court is not enough next year?"

"Continue to publish." Li Ke said as a matter of course.

"Aren't you afraid that you won't get it?" Fang Xuanling and Wei Zheng were dumbfounded. You can't borrow this thing every year, you should borrow it every year.

"I know what you are thinking, but there is no problem, just borrow it. As long as the country's economic development is good, there is no problem with borrowing, and it can speed up the country's development."

"Don't those aristocratic families like to save money? Their money is buried in His Highness, is it safer than lending it to the court? Lending to the court is guaranteed in the name of the court, and there is interest every year. A stable and long-term income." Li Ke said straightforwardly.

Although the annual interest rate of 5% seems not much at all, but think about it, if you save 500 million, you will get 500 million interest a year, and a company with an annual profit of [-] million, for so many companies in the future, I am afraid Enter the top one percent.

If you save 10 billion yuan, you can make a profit of 5000 million yuan a year.
