Li Shimin was dumbfounded.
Wasn't this the usual method used by banks?
What was the use of bringing up such an old story? There was no need to do so, was there?
If he were a businessman, would he take out the money he had stored in the cellar?
No way!
They wouldn't care about such a small amount of interest!
"Brother Zhang Feng, all the banks are doing this now. Do you think they would be stupid enough to keep their money in the Imperial Plantation? Moreover, the banks in many places are different. You … "
"I know."
"These are not controlled by any one person. These are controlled by the dukes or the big families. For example, the five families and seven families. I said before that it's a centralized power! Could it be that you've forgotten what I said? "
"The reason why the emperor believes in your lame trick now is because I believe that he has wanted to do this for a long time! But if you do this, hehe! "
"I said something before. Have you forgotten?"
"You mean … banknotes?"
Wei Zheng asked cautiously.
"Yes!"
"That's the thing!"
"Think about it. Now, this thing does exist, but it is not confirmed by the government at all. In other words, it is recognized. If this is not recognized by everyone, then the evidence in your hand will be a piece of waste paper. But if His Majesty personally issues an edict to exchange all the coins for such a thing, what do you think will happen?"
"One is a thing that no one knows if it will change tomorrow. The other is a hard currency with legal effect. Which one do you think is safer? Are you willing to carry boxes and carts of bulky money to buy and sell, or are you more willing to carry dozens of banknotes in your arms and live freely? "
"Well …"
Li Shimin was a little excited.
He had wanted to do this for a long time, but there was no other way. He was short of money!
However, because of some things, he put this matter aside. But now that he thought about it, if he did it at that time, the effect would not be as good as it was now.
Once this thing was made in the teeth of the storm, not only would the currency of the Tang Dynasty be under his control, but he would also be able to hoard a large amount of foreign money.
Anyone who wants to do business in the Tang Dynasty, I'm sorry, but please exchange for the most popular currency in the Tang Dynasty!
Alright then.
In this way, even to the outside world, money would flow into the Tang Dynasty sooner or later!
Was he still short of money?
At that time, he would only complain about having too much money!
Thinking of this, Li Shimin's eyes were spitting fire. He couldn't sit still for a moment and hurriedly got up to leave.
But Zhang Feng held him down.
"Lao Li, are you panicking again? This has nothing to do with you! "
"Think about it. This is a problem that even I can think of. Even until now, Chang 'an has not fallen into chaos. What does this mean? This means that the Emperor has already thought of a countermeasure! Just stay calm and steady! "
"But …"
Li Shimin wanted to explain, but Zhang Feng waved his hand and said, "Today, let's drink! It's rare to see such good wild boar meat! I believe that even you can't eat so freely like this, right? There was something before, so you couldn't eat to your heart's content. Now that things are settled, let's eat freely! Otherwise, it won't be fresh tomorrow! "
"Come on, Old Wei, let's drink!"
"Ding!"
After clinking the wine bowl with Old Wei, Zhang Feng turned around and went to roast the meat in a daze.
While roasting the meat, Zhang Feng looked at Li Shimin, who was sitting on pins and needles, and said, "I know you're anxious, but believe it or not, if you go to your Lord Zhangsun now, you'll definitely be refused the door!"
Li Shimin was dumbfounded.
When he went to see Zhangsun Wuji, he always just had to say a word, and Zhangsun would immediately come to see him. How could he be refused the door?
"If you go to see Zhangsun Wuji now, you'll be leaking the Emperor's secret! Think about it, would he dare to see you? With that little money of yours, it's fine if you lose it, but I guarantee that in less than half a month, Lao Li's mouth will be grinning from ear to ear. At that time, you'll be worried about how much money you have! "
"It's better to think about how to spend this money!"
"This …"
Li Shimin was too embarrassed to leave, so he simply let go of his stomach and ate.
After knowing about this matter last night, he really didn't want to eat or drink. Just now, he was forced to drink a few bowls of wine, and his stomach was empty. Now, he was panicking with hunger. He couldn't help but ignore it. As long as he could deal with this matter, he might as well eat to his heart's content.
While eating, Wei Zheng and Li Shimin were whispering something.
Zhang Feng was also crazily roasting meat.
In the summer, it was not a good idea to store the meat. He wanted to roast all the meat tonight and then bake it into jerky.
This wild boar meat was good stuff. Although it was a little rough, if it was made into jerky, it was not much different from butter jerky. Moreover, in this era, who wanted to eat beef?
Dream on!
Zhang Feng was still thinking about whether or not to sell this thing called barbecue. This could be considered an additional source of income.
"Brother Zhang Feng! It's not early today! "
Just as the afterglow of the setting sun shone in in the small tavern, Li Shimin stood up and put an ingot of gold on the table. With Wei Zheng's support, he dizzily clasped his fist.
He was about to leave.
Seeing this, Zhang Feng waved his hand and said, "Wait!"
