Zhenguan Xiaoxian Wang Li Shen Li Shimin

Li Shen was venting the anger he suffered from his father on Li Zhi. What Li Shen was thinking was, I can't defeat you, but I can't defeat your son?

Li Shen still understood the principle of repaying debts from father to son.

Li Shen's words immediately made Li Zhi's face become even more livid, and he looked at Li Shen fiercely. He was today entirely thanks to Li Shen.

If it weren't for Li Shen, he would still be growing slowly, but now he has nothing.

The only thing waiting for him is to go to the fiefdom. The reason why he has not gone to the fiefdom now is because of his illness and his hysteria, so he has not gone to the fiefdom.

"Old Shi, don't bully others too much. Do you think that the First Chamber of Commerce of the Tang Dynasty will definitely win? Even if you win now, who can tell clearly what will happen in the future?

It's better to leave a little room for human behavior. "Li Zhi couldn't help but said to Li Shen.

This also attracted the attention of others, especially Li Shimin who looked here. He knew that Li Shen, the rebellious son, was trying to seduce Li Zhi again.

"Yeah, Brother Ninth is right, but the Chamber of Commerce is definitely not going to work anymore. It's just a matter of time before it closes down.

I do have a good proposal. What do you think about purchasing the Aspirational Chamber of Commerce in your own name?

You might as well go back and discuss with them. I want the entire Aspirations Chamber of Commerce, including the branch properties in various places.

In this way, you can lose less, why not? "Li Shen'en hummed twice, and then said with an expression of "I am doing your best."

"You..." Li Zhi was so angry that he didn't know what to say. He thought Li Shen was humiliating him.

But Li Shen really wanted to buy the Qidian Chamber of Commerce. He was interested in the Qidian Chamber of Commerce's outlets in various states and counties, as well as real estate.

Because the next thing Li Shen needs to do is to establish outlets in various places. Now that there are ready-made ones, it will save a lot of trouble.

"Okay, today Yuan Zheng, don't say unnecessary words." Li Shimin stopped him in time.

He was really afraid that Li Zhi and Li Shen would fight.

"Haha, Lao Shi, you are wrong. No matter what, Lao Jiu is also your ninth brother. Peace is the most important thing." Li Tai smiled slightly.

"Precisely because he is my ninth brother, I want him to lose less money, otherwise I will not buy it." Li Shen said sincerely.

"Okay, you are happy today, don't say anything unhappy." Li Chengqian, as the eldest brother, stopped him.

Li Shen wisely shut his mouth and said no more.

The same goes for Li Zhi, but his expression has not improved. He has killed Li Shen a hundred times in his heart.

After a while, Wang De came up to report that it was time to eat.

Li Shimin stood up and led everyone downstairs.

After taking the seats, everyone was singing and laughing, and everyone toasted to celebrate.

"Old Shi, I heard that your Tang Dynasty Chamber of Commerce has started to lend money, and the interest rate is very low, even lower than that of the imperial court.

How can you let the moneylenders outside live like this? The court will also lose a lot of money. "

While everyone was chatting, Li Tai asked.

"Is there still this matter? Brother, how much can the court earn from lending money in a year?" Li Shen asked pretending to be surprised.

"It's less than a million dollars, a lot of it can't be collected. And there is a phenomenon of people pretending to be public for personal gain, but it's not easy to check." Li Chengqian said truthfully.

Li Shimin must know this. His father didn't care about it, and he can't care about it now.

"That's not a coincidence, Fourth Brother, do you know how much money the First Chamber of Commerce of the Tang Dynasty paid to the court today?"

"How many?"

"More than fourteen million guan."

"Fourteen million dollars!!!" Not only Li Tai was surprised, but Li Chengqian was also a little surprised. He didn't know about this amount of money.

Li Zhi's eyes widened. Li Shen was so willing.

The three of them looked at Li Shimin in unison, and saw that Li Shimin's expression remained unchanged, eating food, drinking wine, and listening to their words.

Seeing his three sons looking at him, Li Shimin just nodded slightly in affirmation.

"Old Shi, can you...can you..." Li Tai suddenly didn't know how to describe the feelings he wanted to express.

It was too prodigal, and too ruthless. All 14 million guan were given to the imperial court. This means that Prince Ji’s palace didn’t keep any of it.

Lao Shi, what does this mean? The chamber of commerce, which took so much effort and took several years to establish, actually gave all the money it made to the court.

Could it be that Lao Shi has any deal or agreement with His Majesty?

Among the three brothers, only Prince Li Chengqian knew why Li Shen did this, but when he heard the price of 14 million yuan, he couldn't help but feel a little upset in his heart.

As expected, Lao Shi is really powerful and knows how to make trade-offs. He doesn’t feel bad at all when it comes to spending so much money. He really devotes himself to the imperial court.

Little did he know that Li Shen cried for several days.

"Fourth brother, do you think the court lost a lot of money?" Li Shen took a bite of the food and asked.

"Oh, it's not much at all. It doesn't matter even if the court cancels the loan." Li Tai sighed helplessly.

"Aye, there are actually many people who lend money privately. Their interest rates are too high and the people simply cannot afford it.

In the past, a family in Huangzhuang borrowed some corn, but the interest doubled in a year. In the end, the family could not afford to pay back, and all the more than a dozen members of the family were forced to death.

I think they are very pitiful. This kind of thing should not happen to us in the Tang Dynasty. "

Li Shen did not suggest canceling loan lending, which would offend more people. As long as his interest rates are low, these usury loans will naturally disappear.

Li Shen thought that the interest rate of 10% was high enough, but he didn't expect that some people would say it was low, and some people would say that he was a good person.

Not only did it make him sigh at the simplicity of the people in feudal society.

Moreover, the main purpose of establishing this early stage of lending was not to make money, but to serve other purposes.

The meal took a long time, and it was already evening by the time Li Shen returned to the palace.

Li Shen, who was drunk, was bathed and changed by several concubines. When Li Shen woke up, it was already the next day.

Following the old rules, Li Shen prepared gifts again and followed Lu Dingniang back to her parents' home, but this time she didn't go back to her parents' home for long.

Because Lu Dingniang was pregnant, Li Shen was afraid that her mood would fluctuate too much, so he told Lu Shuang and his wife in advance not to make Lu Dingniang too excited.

After the Yuanzheng period, Li Shen's life got back on track. The weather was cold and Li Shen didn't go out much. Although he was under lockdown, for Li Shen it was just the difference between wanting to go out and not wanting to go out.

In the 22nd year of Zhenguan, on the eighth day of the Yuanzheng period, Li Shimin wrote twelve chapters of "Emperor Fan" and gave them to the prince.

The titles of each chapter are: "The King's Body", "Building Marriage", "Seeking Virtues", "Judge the Officials", "Accepting Advice", "Removing Slander", "Jie Ying", "Advocating Thrift", "Rewards and Punishments", and "Farming". ", "Yuewu", "Chongwen".

Li Shimin said to Li Chengqian: "The principles of self-cultivation and governing the country are all contained in these twelve articles. Once I pass away, there will be nothing else to say."

Li Shen heard that Li Chengqian burst into tears when he received the twelve books, and was so moved.

Everything begins to recover in early spring, and people across the country join in the resumption of work and production, working hard for life.

The industrial park has also returned to a lively scene. Every transaction is the people's yearning for a better life and the most important contribution to this battle.
