The first rebel of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 524 The Banking Law is promulgated and branches are opened directly. The essence of businessmen is profit-seeking
In the afternoon of that day, a piece of news spread throughout Chang'an City.

It is said that the imperial court wants to legislate for the bank to crack down on some crimes related to the bank, and specifically mentioned the counterfeit currency.

Moreover, this legislator is Hou Junji from the Ministry of Officials to organize, cooperating with Shangshu Li Daozong of the Ministry of Xing and everyone in the Ministry of Punishment to carry out legislation.

Regarding the Xingbu, they are professional and can give very reasonable laws.

Therefore, the punishment is not light, and it can achieve the purpose of deterring people.

The heaviest is the death penalty, while the lighter ones start with one year in prison.

Of course, some fines will still be added, which is the heaviest punishment for businessmen.

Some people may ask here, why not the Ministry of Criminal Justice directly legislating?
Because there was no special legislature in ancient times, there were only special judicial organs (Dali Temple) and judicial administrative organs (Ministry of Punishment).

Therefore, the legal codes in ancient China were basically compiled by several ministers appointed by the emperor.

This involves Li Shimin ordering whoever looks happy to make this law.

But where there is law, there will be punishment.

That's why Hou Junji was allowed to host and participate with the Ministry of Punishment.

Regarding this news, Li Yin had already learned about it from Li Yuan.

At the same time, the news spread to Changsun Wuji very quickly.

That frightened Changsun Wuji.

Take a lot of money directly to the Hou Mansion to find Hou Junji.

Li Yin, who was deeply involved in Shengtang Group, also heard about this matter.

At this time Zhu Shan was talking to Li Yin in a low voice.

Li Yin was shocked!

"Changsun Wuji really went to find Hou Junji?"

"That's right! After Changsun Wuji knew that Hou Junji was in charge of the legislation, he immediately brought 100 million taels to Hou Junji's mansion."

100 million taels.

That's not a small number.

But now I think of taking money out to settle things, it seems too late.

"And then? Did Hou Junji receive him?"

This is curious.

Li Yin also knew that the relationship between the two had become very bad since then.

"Then how dare Hou Junji open the door? Directly shut out Changsun Wuji! He is still outside the Hou's mansion now! Even the people from the Ministry of Punishment dare not kill Changsun Wuji."

At this time, it is still necessary to avoid suspicion, because if we really meet, it may cause people to talk.It will also make Li Shimin think too much, so it will not be good for anyone.

"Hahaha! Deserving it!"

Li Yin laughed out loud.

After all, there are still some grievances between the two of them. Now that Hou Junji is in charge of the legislation, Changsun Wuji must be very flustered. After all, he made the counterfeit money. If the Bank Law comes out, he will definitely find out For myself, in the future, I am afraid that I will not be able to stand up again.After finally occupying the Wang family, because of his previous mistakes, now he has to bear a consequence that he cannot bear.

At the same time, Changsun Wuji really wanted to slap himself, why didn't he have a good relationship with Hou Junji before?
In addition, there are eyeliners everywhere, how dare Hou Junji accept them?

I don't even dare to meet people anymore, the more this is the case, the more I have to avoid suspicion.

So the above situation happened.

After Li Yin finished laughing, he said, "It's good if Changsun Wuji doesn't go to look for it. If he goes to look for it, Hou Junji will definitely increase the punishment when he makes a law. I'm afraid Changsun Wuji will be killed!"

It was all he could think of.

It was also the most direct punishment that Changsun Wuji received.

"Then Changsun Wuji must die this time? After death, there will be no threat to us!"

Zhu Shan asked curiously.

"Do you think he would die so easily? That would underestimate him! There is an emperor behind him, and if he wants to die, it will not be easy. The emperor will take brotherhood into consideration and let him go, and , This person is old and cunning, it is not easy to kill him! He is already prepared to deal with it."

Li Yin didn't care, he said so.

He has already inquired about everything in the future.

Hearing these words, Zhu Shan was very dazed.

It turns out that there is still such a relationship between them.

"Okay, let someone pay attention to the situation of the two of you again, and report back at any time!"

"Understood! Then I'll go first!"

At this moment Zhu Shan left.

Then, Ji Ruxue walked in.

"Mr. Zili, the Lu family, the Cui family and the Zheng family are all here!"

Before, Li Yin had summoned people from the three families to Shengtang Group.

Said there was something important to say.

If these three companies are not attached to the Shengtang Group, they may not be able to survive alone.

With the help of these three companies, Shengtang Group will only grow bigger and bigger.

Both sides are indispensable.

"Let them in!"

"Yes!"

Then, a group of people entered Li Yin's office directly.

Looking at the surrounding environment, these people couldn't help sighing.

The decoration here is really luxurious.

Among them, some who had been to the imperial palace couldn't help sighing: "The imperial palace can't compare to this! This is more luxurious than any other place! We can also decorate an existence like this anytime!"

Even the resplendent imperial palace can't compare to this place, perhaps this is their highest evaluation of this place.

Someone responded: "That's impossible, Mr. Zili can't imitate it!"

"It must be very refreshing to live here every day?"

"Nonsense, of course!"

……

"Everyone, sit down! You're welcome! Come and serve tea!"

"Yes!"

Li Yin motioned for everyone to sit down.

Everyone sat down stiffly.

These people are like descendants of aristocratic families,

But when we were here, everyone looked like country folks who had never seen the world!

Perhaps, among these people, only Lu Chun and Zheng Bufan came here.The others had not been there, nor had they been invited.More of them arrived in Chang'an in the morning!
As for Cui Renshi, he didn't show up because he had other affairs in the court.replaced by someone else in the clan.

Then, when the milk tea and other items came up, these dozens of people were about to go crazy.

Drinking, watching, and constantly sighing.

Li Yin is also used to everyone's performance.

Whoever it is, in this situation, no one can control it.

Even Empress Changsun and the others were not much better when they first came.

After a moment.

Lu Chun first said: "Mr. Zili, why are we here at this time?"

He comes here more often and is very familiar with this place.

Zheng Bufan followed up and asked: "Yes, is there anything we need to do? If so, just ask the servants to come over and inform. Do you still need to come forward?"

The others followed suit and were also very curious.What's the matter that brought everyone here?

They are more from several big families from all over the world.

It is the person in charge there, who is in charge of the actions of the aristocratic families in various parts of the Tang Dynasty.

During this period of time, their connection with Li Yin has also become closer and closer.

Especially after some factories were sent out, their profits are also rising.Li Yin is their food and clothing parents.

Everyone also stopped their movements and looked at Li Yin's face.

He just opened his mouth slowly.

"That's right, my Shengtang Bank opened with great success! A large amount of deposits have been deposited in the bank!"

A simple sentence made everyone happy.

Because his purpose of saying this must be to share a little interest with them.

It's like sending out from the factory before.

Then everyone stared at him closely, hoping that he could say something that would make everyone more excited.

"And the bank needs a lot of manpower, and will open branches in various parts of Datang."

As soon as these words came out, everyone was even more ecstatic.

Then, they must be considered.

At this time, no one dared to say a word, and they wanted to know what Li Yin would say next.

"So, I think, recruit some scholars from among your three great families, join the bank, and become employees of the bank! This is the first point, I don't know, what do you think?"

As soon as this was said, everyone began to discuss it.

Ninety percent of people agree.

Lu Chun said: "In the past year, fewer and fewer members of my Lu family have served in the imperial court, and there are not a few people who have been demoted to civilians due to some mistakes. If this continues, the scholars in the family may be doing nothing. , if you can join the bank and share the pressure for the family, it may be a good thing!"

So Lu Chun agreed.

This is also some of the results of Li Shimin cleaning up the children of the aristocratic family as officials.

As for Zheng Bufan, he said: "My Chang'an Zheng family has survived until now because of the support of Mr. Li, and the family business is getting bigger and bigger. For the scholars in the family, I am willing to let them join the bank and work hard for the bank. !"

Not to mention Zheng Bufan, he is very grateful for Li Yin's help. If it weren't for Li Yin, their Zheng family might be doomed.

Li Yin is very satisfied with the attitude of the two.

Once they speak, everything will be fast.

As for the others, he watched them with his eyes.

These people naturally go with the flow.They all expressed their wishes.

Because, if this is not the case, I will not even have to drink soup in the future.Watching others follow Li Yin to become stronger, they may stagnate.

Everyone agreed with Li Yin's approach.

The reason why Li Yin did this is because of the lack of talents on the one hand, and talents are the fastest to be drawn from the aristocratic family.

On the other hand, it is because the imperial court is now starting to expel people from aristocratic families, and people from aristocratic families have nowhere to go, so it is better to do something for yourself.

"Very well, I keep your decisions in mind! Then there is one more thing! I want to set up branches of the bank in Qinglongfang and Guiyifang!"

As soon as this was said, everyone really understood.

This is the most important existence.

There are 108 squares in Chang'an, which is very large.

Among them, the neighborhood of Dongshi is the most prosperous, followed by Xishi.

West Market has already had its own people there.

As for Qinglongfang and Guiyifang, they are on the left and right sides of the south gate of Chang'an City.

If the two branches are set up, the whole Chang'an will be covered, and at the same time, it will be convenient for common people and merchants.

If they do business, they don't have to go to Shengtang Group, they can go directly to two of them.

This will also reduce the pressure outside Shengtang Group.

After all, a large number of merchants and people crowded the East Market that day, which made him a little worried.

If you set up a branch, then this pressure will no longer exist.

Lu Chun asked: "Congratulations to Mr. Zili who just opened a bank and opened a branch!"

Zheng Bufan followed up and said: "Yes, Shengtang Group will become the number one existence in Datang in the future."

Others said nice things too.

Li Yin signaled everyone to calm down.

Then he said: "I want Lu Chun and Zheng Bufan to be the presidents of the two branches. Do you have any opinions?"

As soon as his words came out, everyone was in an uproar.

That is simply a fat job.

As the head of the Lu family, Lu Chun's level of shrewdness certainly goes without saying.

Zheng Bufan is also quite famous in Chang'an.

It would be perfect for two people to manage two branches.

"We support them!"

"Yes, I'm afraid there is no more suitable existence than them!"

"In this way, Shengtang Group will definitely become bigger!"

……

The crowd is talking nonsense.

"What about you? What do you think?"

Lu Chun said excitedly: "Mr. Xie Zili values ​​it, and I, Lu Chun, are willing!"

"I, Zheng Bufan, am willing too!"

"Okay then, you guys go find the address now. It will be renovated tomorrow and see if it can open a year ago!"

The two agreed in unison.

As for the others, they cast envious glances.

Li Yin said: "Everyone cooperate with me well and let me see your determination. In the future, Shengtang Bank will blossom everywhere in Datang, and you will be the most likely to be the president!"

Having said that, everyone was very excited.

Joining Shengtang Group is tantamount to making a fortune.

As for Li Yin, there are some things that he can't handle, because there are too many.

He should let go of those who should delegate power and let everyone earn money.

In this way, the dozens of people stayed for another hour before leaving.

When a group of people were waiting to leave, Ji Ruxue came over.

"Mr. Zili, will these aristocratic families really work for the Shengtang Group?"

This is her concern.

That's what she wanted to know too.

"Will do!"

"why?"

"Because of profit!"

"Benefit?"

"The essence of a businessman is profit-seeking! As long as there are interests, they will not betray us! And the reason why I let Lu Chun and Zheng Bufan join us is because Yuan Tiangang has seen their faces, and they can For my use, of course I have to make good use of it! The final big achievement is that the Lu family and the Zheng family will cease to exist and belong to my Shengtang Group! By then, won’t it be easy to control them?”

After what Li Yin said, Ji Ruxue understood.

"So that's the case, I didn't think enough about this point!"

"In the future, you will understand!"

In fact, there is another point, that is, Li Yin can see the future.

If he finds that the future is not good, he can stop the loss in time.

Eliminate all those who are not good for you.

In this way, it will be invincible.

"Mr. Zili's words are true, and I have taken advantage of them!"

"Okay, how are you doing what you were asked to do last time?"

"We have collected some clues and some evidence, and we have also learned about the dens where counterfeit money was produced."

"Very good, when the time comes to sort it out, I will send someone directly to the palace. If he wants to join my Shengtang Bank, he has to do something for me!"

"Mr. Zili wants to use His Majesty's hand to crack down on counterfeit money now?"

Ji Ruxue asked.

"That's it! Now that the legislation is in place, the sooner the better."

This is shocking.

You know, in this world, no one would dare to use Li Shimin, but there was one person who dared to do so in front of Ji Ruxue.

"Then I have to deal with these things quickly."

"Thanks a lot."

"Sir, what are you talking about? Ruxue is already satisfied to be able to be a family with your husband."

Li Yin looked at Ji Ruxue gratefully.

This made her a little embarrassed.

"By the way, sir, do you have anything else to do? If there is nothing else, I will go to work first."

Ji Ruxue asked.

"No, go and do your work!"

"Understood! Just tell me if you need anything."

Afterwards, Ji Ruxue withdrew.

As for Li Yin, he continued to work on his research.

And at this time.

There were many people standing in front of Hou Junji's house, among them was Changsun Wuji.

He shouted loudly to the Hou Mansion: "Hello, Hou Junji! Now you have become His Majesty's big celebrity. Just forget about it. I think you took so much favor from me and took so much money from me at that time." .And I want to see you but you don't let me. How can there be such an ungrateful person like you in this world?"

But no matter how much Ren Changsun Wuji yelled, Hou Junji would not come out.

Hou Junji's actions made Changsun Wuji even more angry.

Directly lead people to surround Hou Junji's mansion tightly.

Finally, Hou Junji turned to Cheng Yaojin to drive them away.

At this time, they didn't know that the news about Changsun Wuji looking for Hou Junji had already reached Li Shimin's ears.

Li Shimin was furious after hearing this.

"Hou Junji is so courageous that he dared to accept bribes from the people! I am very disappointed!"

Empress Changsun said: "Your Majesty, although Hou Junji is at fault, his research on the law is very profound, and he has not met my eldest brother. If he is not allowed to preside over the banking law at this time, I am afraid he will fail tomorrow." Don't come! Maybe he can make up for it, after all, in the Tang Dynasty, other than him, others may not be able to."

Regarding this kind of matter, Empress Changsun still takes the perspective of a princess.

Although the eldest grandson Wuji is for his elder brother, his elder brother committed a crime and opposed Li Yin everywhere. To oppose him is to prevent the development of Datang.

As far as matters are concerned, she still does not help relatives.

Therefore, there are just words.

If this matter happened to Wang Guifei, it might directly help her own people.

This is also the reason why she is a generation of virtuous queens.

After what she said, Li Shimin became rational.

He breathed a sigh of relief.

"The empress is right, so I'll see if he can come up with something tomorrow. If it's possible, I'll allow him to compete! If not, I'm going to lose my temper!"

Li Shimin wanted to hand over the legislation to other people.

But what Empress Changsun said made sense.

This was done quickly, and Hou Junji had to come.

Moreover, he didn't come out to meet Changsun Wuji either.

It's not easy to make trouble.

This matter, that's all.

"By the way, I heard that Nizi is going to open two branches in Qinglongfang and Guiyifang, and also reuse people from Lu Zheng's family. What do you think about this matter, Queen?"

Li Shimin was very puzzled by the matter of reusing the aristocratic family.

He also wanted to know what Empress Changsun really thought about this matter.

When Empress Changsun heard this, she realized that there were still such things.

Then, she thought for a while and said:
"This matter should be a decision made by Min'er after careful consideration. As far as I know, Lu and Zheng's family have very close exchanges with the Shengtang Group, and the Lu family's vehicles and boats have played a certain role in the development of the Shengtang Group. function, so that their bicycles, glass and other things can be made bigger and spread throughout the Tang Dynasty, so as to make more money. The Zheng family is in front of the Shengtang Group. They obey the command of Miner everywhere, never before Disobedient behavior. Therefore, the concubine thought that the child was trying to win people's hearts, and unite several big families to fight against the giant Wang and Li families."

The current Wang and Li families are still very strong, after all, the background is there.

It is not an easy task to kill them all at once.

After Li Shimin heard this, he also thought for a while.

"What the queen said is very true, and I did the same. The way this kid handles it is really scary. Every step he takes makes people feel that he is playing a big game of chess. If he is not careful, he will become his pawn. "

Li Shimin probably also realized that at this time, he has also become Li Yin's pawn.

It's just that he is willing to be this pawn.

Because it is for their own country.

"Yes, every step he takes has his own strong purpose. This purpose makes his achievements higher and higher. I don't know who taught him so many novel things, as well as the principles of handling people. "

"He is my son, so I naturally follow me!"

Li Shimin said very shamelessly.

Empress Changsun didn't say anything this time.

Because, no matter what, in addition to the appearance of the two father and son, Li Yin seems to be better at handling things.

Li Shimin is more greedy.

But this kind of greed is justifiable, because he is also for the people, for the common people, and even for his own country.

"By the way, the concubine heard that Min'er built a [-]-acre site outside the city, and I don't know what he wants to do?"

Empress Changsun said so.

"That kid wants to set up a breeding factory, I heard he wants to raise chickens!"

"Oh?"

It turned out that Li Shimin already knew what Li Yin was going to do next.

The two fathers and sons have mutual intelligence personnel.

It's just that Li Shimin's intelligence personnel are more on the bright side, like the people who killed Kong Yingda.

And Li Yin's intelligence personnel existed beyond Li Shimin's expectation.

Like Li Yuan and others.

But whenever something happened in the palace, Li Yin would know immediately.

"What can be bred? And it seems that the benefits of this kind of industry are not high!"

"You can ask him for details! I don't know what he wants to do?"

"Perhaps he smelled a new rule of the industry?"

Empress Changsun said suddenly.

This made Li Shimin pat his thigh.

"It's possible. How about I build one too? Maybe it can expand the national treasury?"

Li Shimin wants to follow Li Min in farming.

This reflects from another aspect that the locust plague in the coming year may not be able to rise.

"I think it's okay, if I do this, maybe I can make a lot of money!"

"In this way, it is feasible! Let Wei Zheng handle this matter!"

Li Shimin said.

Li Shimin didn't know that after the beginning of spring, all the people in the field would start farming.

Because Sheng Tang Group never loses money in what it does.

As long as you follow him, you can easily make money.

Regarding this point, Li Yin was very satisfied.

This is what he wants.

On the next day, Hou Junji and Li Daozong, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishments, were excitedly heading towards Taiji Palace with a draft in his hand.
