Everyone looked at Li You expectantly, waiting for his explanation.
At this moment, Li Ji 'an and the group of ministers were like primary school students looking at their teacher, waiting for his explanation.
Li You coughed and said,"After saying so much, I feel a little thirsty and tired. I want to drink some tea."”
"Your Highness, please wait a moment. This old servant will go and make tea for Your Highness!”
Quan Wanji immediately said with a smile.
To be able to serve beside Li Ji 'an and sit in the position of the chief eunuch in the palace, he was naturally a person who knew how to read people's expressions.
After today, Li You, the unfavored King Qi of the past, would probably soar to the skies!
Therefore, Quan Wanji was naturally willing to suck up to Li You.
" Then I'll have to trouble Eunuch Quan." Li You smiled.
" Your Highness is too polite," Quan Wanji replied.
"You brat, you're actually putting on airs." Li Ji 'an was both angry and amused.
After Quan Wanji brewed a pot of tea, Li You took two sips and continued talking.
"This loan means that everyone can borrow money from the bank, then write down an IOU, sign their name, and then sign it. It also includes the date of repayment and the amount of interest. The interest can be set according to the amount of capital borrowed and the length of time.”
Li Ji 'an instantly understood.
"I understand, I understand. This is indeed a good idea." Whether it was ordinary people or businessmen, there would always be times when they needed money urgently! Sometimes, it was not easy to borrow money from others, so the bank could help them.”
"That's right." Li You nodded.
I have a question."At this time, Dugu Wuji asked,""What if the person who borrowed the money doesn't come out? Or could this method be promoted to the common people?”
Li You replied,"If you still don't come out, then use other items or houses as collateral!"If he didn't pay back the money he owed the imperial court, he would have to pay the consequences! A man cannot stand without faith, and cannot be square without rules. Since the rules were set, they had to be strictly enforced. As for this method, private lending could be strictly prohibited and the relevant laws and regulations could be improved. If they were found out, they would be severely punished! Otherwise, it would be easy to disturb the order of the people. In short, these matters had to be handled by the Imperial Court. In other words, even if some people wanted to do it, they had to get the approval of the Imperial Court.”
The banks of the later generations were basically like this, but there were also small loans and usury loans in the later generations.
In fact, there were folk loans in ancient times. For example, ordinary people would sometimes borrow money from the gentry to save their lives. However, those gentry borrowed money too much and used the usury model. In the end, they forced people to buy children and sell women. The influence was very bad.
Li You's actions could allow the Imperial Court to make money and also take the opportunity to rectify the situation. It was killing two birds with one stone!
No matter how powerful those aristocrats were, they still dared to go against the imperial court and snatch food from the emperor's mouth? Unless he was tired of living.
"Well said!" The Duke of Wei, who had been silent all this while, applauded and praised,""Your Highness King Qi has truly broadened my horizons. This old subject had only asked a single question, but I never thought that Your Highness King Qi would be able to answer so many questions.”
They had never thought of what Li You had said before. It was unheard of!
Today, he had really learned a lot.
To be honest, they needed to digest so much content. It would take some time.
Li You smiled and replied,"Lord Wei, you flatter me."”
Sigh, I accidentally acted like a serial B. I really can't take it back.
However, in order to have more freedom to play, he had to act tough.
Otherwise, he would probably be forced to go to class.
"His Highness King Qi is indeed a great talent. The methods he has mentioned are all very reasonable and can make people willingly pay interest."In this way, even if the taxes were light, the national treasury could still be filled.”
"Yeah, this method is really great. This old man is impressed! Duke Du also said.
In short, everyone was impressed by Li You.
"How is it, Imperial Father? Can I not go to class anymore? Li You looked at Li Ji 'an and said with a smile.
"Your Majesty, I think His Highness King Qi really doesn't need to go to class." The Duke of Wei said. The Grand Scholars couldn't teach him these things.”
He had promised Li You before, so he naturally had to fulfill his promise now.
Li Ji 'an thought for a moment and replied,""Alright, but from now on, I will personally test you every once in a while. If they passed, they could skip classes forever. If they didn't pass, they still had to go to class.”
" No problem!" Li You replied immediately.
"Test me? Bring it on, I'll definitely arrange everything for you!"
It was impossible for him to go to class. He would never go to class in this lifetime.
Only by pretending to be pretentious and scaring people could they survive.
Haha, I can finally be aboveboard and not have to go to class. It's too awesome.
Happy days were about to arrive!
"Esteemed ministers, do you all remember what King Qi said just now?" Li Ji 'an asked. Next, the matter of the silver notes and the bank has to be brought up. I need to settle it as soon as possible.”
" We will definitely share your worries!" Duke Wei and the others said at the same time.
"Oh right, we can't leave the matter of expanding the censor's scale and forming the Central Inspection Team behind.”
"Yes, sir!"
"Oh right, Imperial Father, I want to go to the Gong Jian Manor. What do you think? Li You said.
"Building a mansion? No, you still need a year." Li Ji 'an shook his head and refused.
"It's a waste for a talent like me to stay in the palace!”Li You said bitterly.
"I think you want to go out and play. It's not easy to go out living in the palace, right? If you build a residence and live independently, won't you run away without a trace?”
Li Ji 'an looked at Li You with a wicked smile and said.
"Kid, don't even think about it. I've long seen through your thoughts!”
Of course, he was clear about Li You's thoughts. This rascal just wanted to go out and play, and no one cared.
"What if I have a better way to earn money, and I can also strengthen the Great Tang Empire, defeat the Turks, and eliminate the hidden dangers at the border?"How about it, is Imperial Father willing to make this deal with me?”
" What did you say?!"
Hearing this, Li Ji 'an's expression changed.
