Li Shimin was completely dumbfounded.
Although Zhang Feng was talking about a business model, it could be seen that once such a business model was launched, the income tax of the Tang Dynasty would increase exponentially.
In that case, Great Tang's tax revenue alone would double. Not to mention, this fellow had directly stimulated the depressed economy of Great Tang!
Moreover, he only needed to issue an imperial edict and then publish a notice in the Ministry of Revenue's Coinage Department. It was that simple.
However, there was still a problem that troubled Li Shimin. That was, did the current cooperative still need to continue? Li Shimin couldn't help but ask again. .
"Brother Zhang Feng, I understand what you're talking about. You're stimulating the entire economy of the Tang Dynasty? Let the economy, which was originally weak after the war, completely recover because of this matter? "
"In that case, does this cooperative still need to continue? Do we still need to lend the money of the common people and merchants? "
"Of course!"
"Why not? Don't you want to earn money? Are you stupid?! "
"No, who is it?!"
Zhang Feng said mysteriously, "If I were that person, not only would I lend, but I would also collect money."
"Oh?"
"Collect money?"
"How do you collect money?"
Li Shimin asked in surprise. He even kicked Wei Zheng, who was pretending to be asleep. Wei Zheng then pretended to wake up leisurely.
He had to pretend that he didn't know about this matter!
Otherwise, he was not Zhang Feng. If there was even the slightest deviation in such a confidential matter, then he …
Therefore, he could only pretend to be drunk.
Everything would be solved. But now, he didn't even have a chance to pretend. It seemed that the Emperor had to find a scapegoat.
And the protagonist had become this scapegoat.
Wei Zheng cheered up and carefully remembered the conversation between the two in his heart.
Zhang Feng said, "Actually, think about it. I've already given you the answer. And didn't Old Sun show me the pattern of the banknotes drawn by Fang Xuanling?"
"This is the way!"
"Nowadays, whether it's the Tang Dynasty or the outside world, people use carriages to carry coins to buy and sell things. Isn't it tiring?"
"But at this time, if this thing appears in the Huang Manor, we can let the merchants store the money in the Huang Manor. Think about it, how much money will the Emperor's treasury accumulate in a short time?"
"This is the most important part of the cooperative!"
Buzz —!
Li Shimin's head exploded.
It turned out that the reason he had borrowed the money was because of what Zhang Feng had said, "You can't trap a wolf without risking your child!"
Were they waiting for him here?
The more Zhang Feng spoke, the more excited he became.
He did not see the exchange of glances between Li Shimin and Wei Zheng.
"Now do you understand why I want to borrow money and why I said that you were wrong and right? If it were me, I would like to lend out the entire Tang Dynasty. "
"Think about it. You've just done something, and the money will return to your pockets. Not only that, but it will also bring you a lot of interest. Then, you can lend the money out continuously. It's like a rolling snowball, rolling bigger and bigger. What do you think of this method?"
"This …"
"Brother Zhang Feng, now I really want to pry open your head and see if it's the same as ours!"
"This … How did you think of this?"
"This is a secret!"
Zhang Feng smiled slyly.
"This is not the end."
"They won't give you the money for free. At this time, you can also add some interest. It's like they're lending you the money!"
This time, Li Shimin and Wei Zheng were dumbfounded.
"How did it become us borrowing money? In that case, didn't we do all this for nothing? "
Zhang Feng waved his hand slightly.
"You don't understand, do you? What kind of interest are you lending out now? "
"Ahem! It's not us. It's His Majesty. His Majesty is lending it out! "
Wei Zheng reminded.
"The interest of the money lent by His Majesty is set at one tael of silver. In general, it's one tael of interest per year."
In the Tang Dynasty's currency decimal system, one hundred copper coins were equal to one tael of silver. Ten taels of silver were equal to one tael of silver. In other words, one thousand copper coins were equal to one tael of silver. The interest of one tael of silver was not low!
The ordinary people in the Tang Dynasty, including the people in Chang 'an City, only earned about ten to twenty copper coins a day. It could be seen that the interest of one tael of silver was equivalent to ten days' income.
It could be said that it was high, but it could also be said that it was not high.
After understanding the currency system of the Tang Dynasty, Zhang Feng said, "The interest of one tael of silver is about the same. The problem is the interest of one tael of silver. If you lend it out, it's one tael of silver. But if you deposit it with you, you're a fool!"
Li Shimin rolled his eyes.
How could he be so stupid?
"However!"
Zhang Feng grinned again.
"You can also use the calculation of merchants."
"What calculation?"
"The interest of one tael of silver is unchanged. Maybe it can be increased a little later. That depends on their ability to borrow money and the purpose of borrowing money. If it's a merchant, it's not too much to add one tael of silver to the interest. However, the interest of deposits is also divided in this way. From low to high, but the highest interest must be half of the interest of the loan!"
"…"
