Chapter 418
"Let's eat first."

Although a lot of orders were cut off, Li Yunze was not angry, instead he warmly invited Du Ruhui to have lunch together.

But when the two left for dinner, Wu Meiniang hurried over with her skirts in her hands.

"Someone is making trouble outside."

Du Ruhui immediately frowned, Lijiazhuang is such an important place, who would dare to make trouble?

When he came to the door with a puzzled expression, he saw a huge crowd of people surrounded outside.

The leader is a strong young man with a dark face and a strong body, like a macho man made of fine steel.

Behind the young man was a large group of sergeants in armor, all armed with weapons in their eyes.

"Yuchi Baolin!" Du Ruhui immediately stretched out his hand and shouted angrily, "You are good at using weapons outside Chang'an City, do you want to rebel!"

The person who came was Yuchi Jingde's son Yuchi Baolin, he was also surprised to see Du Ruhui face to face, but he still gritted his teeth and shouted, "I'm here to avenge my grandfather!"

Du Ruhui was startled, and just as he was about to speak, he heard Li Yunze behind him laughingly saying, "Is Yuchi Jingde dead?"

"I bother!"

Yuchi Baolin was furious, "You evil thief cursed my grandfather, my grandfather will not die even if you die!"

"Then why are you here to avenge?" Li Yunze waved his hand, telling the Zhuang Ding who were surrounded by weapons to retreat, "If your father is killed by me, it is only natural for you to avenge your father. If you lose, can this be considered revenge?"

Yuchi Baolin was not good at words, his face turned darker when he said these words.

He simply gritted his teeth and raised the horse in his hand, and was about to lead the generals of Yuchi's family to charge forward.

"I see who dares to do it!"

The furious Du Ruhui stepped forward, raised his eyebrows like Sanfeng descending the mountain, "Yuchi Baolin! Don't bring trouble on your Yuchi family!"

"And you!" He pointed at the generals of the Yuchi family who were wearing strong armor and yelled angrily, "You are the generals of the Yuchi family, don't you know what your majesty said? You are going to drag the Yuchi family to be raided all over the house cut it?"

There was the sound of clanging armor leaves, and a large number of soldiers rushed outside to surround Yuchi's family from the outside.

The Wushui County Bo, who was stationed in the palace, hurried forward and shouted, "Everyone is not allowed to move rashly!"

Lijiazhuang is an important material export base, and there are a large number of various ministries stationed here, both openly and secretly.

From the hidden piles of Baiqisi to the officials of Lantian County, from the patrolling police of Jing Zhaoyin to the soldiers of Zhechong Mansion.

It's just that they didn't carry heavy equipment, so they had no problem dealing with thieves or anything, but the generals of Yuchi's family were all dressed in tough clothes, this is the outfit for war.

Fortunately, when these generals left the city, the news had already been quickly delivered to the palace.

After getting the tiger talisman and imperial decree from Li Er, Chang He chased after him with a large number of soldiers.

There is no way, it is treason to mobilize soldiers without the order of the emperor.

Li Yunze walked up to Yuchi Baolin who was trembling with anger, and looked straight at him, "You can't fight."

When enemies meet, they are extremely jealous.

The red-eyed Yuchi Baolin, when he thought of his grandfather lying on the collapsed bed with a broken bone, roared angrily, straightened his horse and stabbed at him.

Du Ruhui's eyes were tearing apart, they were all from the Tianbo Mansion. Ah bah, they were all old friends from the Tiance General's Mansion. Is this the end of Yu Chigong's family?

He knew that Li Yunze was extremely powerful, but great strength and invulnerability were two different things.

What Yuchi Baolin used was the weapon on the battlefield, or his old man's horse spear that had poked countless people!

Heavy armor can poke a hole, let alone civilian clothes.

Under the extreme tension, he saw Li Yunze make a lightning strike, directly grasping Ma Qian's blade, and snatched him away with a casual tug.

With such a twist of both hands, a top-notch horse was twisted into a twist.

Yuchi Baolin stared blankly at Ma Qian who was still on the ground, that was his grandfather's favorite thing.

Li Yunze stretched out his big hand, grabbed his breastplate and threw it back, leaving it on the steps in front of the mansion, "Shut him in the firewood room, let him calm down."

The generals of Yuchi's family, who came back to their senses, suddenly shouted in unison, and were about to charge forward with their weapons straightened.

Du Ruhui yelled angrily, "Don't you really want to let Yuchi's family be copied and executed!?"

"He's not dead." Du Ruhui stretched out his finger and pointed at the thrown Yuchi Baolin. Home!"

At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, Hu Feng was inherited for a hundred years, and almost all the generals raised their own soldiers.

These people don't have the official establishment of the imperial court, they are all private soldiers of various families, they are their own people in the true sense, and their status is even higher than that of the sons of concubines.

As the saying goes, one is prosperous, and one is lost.

If they really went crazy in Lijiazhuang today, they would be wiped out by the soldiers led by Chang He immediately.

Regardless of whether the generals acted on their own, Yuchi's family would suffer bad luck.

Du Ruhui's words convinced the generals of Yuchi's family.

It's not that they are afraid of death, but that both the Patriarch and the Young Master died, they just lost the battle.

If Li Yunze really killed Yuchi Jingde and Yuchi Baolin, it would be useless for anyone to come, even if Li Er scolded them in front of them, they would fight to the end.

"I will follow the young master." The leading family general said to Du Ruhui, "If the young master does not leave, we will not leave."

Du Ruhui turned to look at Li Yunze, hoping that he would let Yuchi Baolin go just down the slope, just to end the cause and effect.

But Li Yunze ignored him at all, picked up Yuchi Baolin, put it under his arm, and went straight back to the courtyard.

Du Ruhui stomped his feet repeatedly, but there was nothing he could do.

In the era of strong family power, many things are helpless.

When he returned to the courtyard, he saw that Yuchi Baolin had already been tied up tightly and was being carried to the woodshed by the householders.

Li Yunze didn't say any more about it, and asked Du Ruhui to have dinner together.

Lijiazhuang's dishes are famous throughout Chang'an City.

Not only because it is delicious, but also because this is the only place where you can eat beef in a fair manner.

Although there is no shortage of beef in Xungui's family, they still have to cover up one or two things, and they can only hide at home and eat secretly because of public opinion.

Only Lijiazhuang is really open and aboveboard, and there are even a lot of beef shops in the village.

Many people in Chang'an City will come here to enjoy a delicious beef meal.

Du Ruhui, who was so preoccupied, ate with pleasure, and did not stop at all when he put down his chopsticks.

Chinese people have always had the habit of talking about things at the dinner table, and today is no exception.

Three rounds of wine, five flavors of food.

After satisfying his appetite for a while, Du Ruhui asked the question he was most concerned about, 'Where does the money come from? '

Datang's fiscal revenue is only so much, but the expenses in various aspects are getting bigger and bigger.

If the emperor wants to fight, he still fights two games at a time.

The emperor set off that the palace was old and unsightly, and he wanted to build a palace.

The emperor thought the railway was good, and wanted to build a large-scale railway.

Etc., etc.

Du Ruhui also felt that it was nothing to fight, Gao Chang and Tuyuhun wanted to die, so they had to fight.

The emperor has worked hard for so long, and it is not a big deal to build a palace to cultivate and enjoy himself.

The railway is a good thing. As various projects are completed and opened to traffic, anyone with a discerning eye can see the huge benefits it brings.

Du Ruhui supported all these things.

But the question is where will the money for these things come from.

As the secretary of the household department, Du Ruhui, who specializes in managing the money bags of the Tang Dynasty, knows very well that relying on the household department is a dream.

Searching the entire Tang Dynasty, maybe only the strange person in front of me can show me the way.

"No money?" Li Yunze smiled while holding a piece of beef, "Then borrow it."

What to do if you have no money, of course you have to borrow money.

It's just that it's okay to say that there are fewer things like borrowing money, but who can afford to borrow money at the national level, especially a loan of Datang's size?
Li Yunze gave Du Ruhui the way to get lost, not the national debt.

National debts worked well in the Song and Ming Dynasties, but not in the Tang Dynasty.

During the Song Dynasty, the economy was developed, and the rich families of the people accumulated a large amount of wealth, and there was still a lack of efficient investment channels.

It was similar in the Ming Dynasty. Although the Ming court had no money, the people had great wealth. Years of overseas trade had resulted in a massive inflow of silver and precious metals, and they had sufficient confidence to borrow money.

But Datang does not have these conditions.

Datang's overall wealth is not that high, and most of the wealth is accumulated in the hands of the aristocratic families headed by the five surnames Qiwang.

The interest rate on national debt is low, and the elites do not borrow.

The interest rate is high, and the court and the emperor are not willing.

In this case, even if the national debt is really produced, it will not be sold much.

Li Yunze's suggestion was to 'build a bank. '

Du Ruhui asked curiously, "What is this bank?"

"A place for borrowing money." Li Yunze explained with a relaxed face, "The bank is open to the people of Tang Dynasty all over the world, and they are tricked to ask them to store all their money in the bank, which is equivalent to gathering the wealth of the world. Of course the money is there."

Du Ruhui's eyes lit up, his heart was full of elation, but at the right time, he showed a smiling face that didn't seem impatient at all, "Why do the common people keep their money in the bank?"

"Two aspects, one is credibility guarantee. Naturally, the emperor and the court will come forward together, using the emperor's face and the court's financial revenue as the bank's guarantee."

"There is another one, which is to give interest. The usual money is deposited in your own home, and it will still be the same money after one year. But if it is stored in the bank, you can get an extra thirty to fifty cash in interest after one year. If it is you , do you save it?"

Counting the hidden people in the Tang Dynasty, there are almost 3000 million people.

In the past few years, the weather has been smooth, with no external troubles or anti-kings inside, and the life of each family is barely passable.

Count the words of the rich.On average, a person has the potential to save more than a million dollars.

Even if it is halved, 500 million coins can be raised, which is enough to support the recent major events.

Du Ruhui, who was full of joy, nodded repeatedly, raised his wine glass to express, and then asked for more details.

But Wu Meiniang called anxiously from outside, "Master, Yuchi Jingde is here."

'Snapped! '

The wine glass fell to the ground.

It wasn't Li Yunze who fell, it was Du Ruhui who fell.

The dark-faced Du Ruhui yelled at the case, "Too much deceit! What is the Yuchi family going to do!"
