When night fell, the whole East Palace was brightly lit, and the officials of the East Palace gathered. Everyone was waiting for the war report of the first day of the post station bank. This was the top priority of the East Palace recently, but it related to Li Chengqian's political achievements and should not be lost.
"80000 passes!"
When a courier hurried to deliver today's money remittance message from the courier bank, the whole East Palace immediately cheered.
"You can remit 80000 yuan in one day. If you draw one hundred yuan, you can make a profit in one day." Li Chengqian said excitedly. You know, this is only the first day of business. He has such proud achievements. Li Chengqian is not excited.
"Eight hundred thousand dollars a day, and nearly three hundred thousand dollars a year from the bill of exchange business alone." Kong Yingda couldn't help but smack his tongue. Three hundred thousand dollars is not a small amount, enough to be comparable to the tax of a government. This is an extremely dazzling achievement. More importantly, the post bank has been more than half successful.
"It's bad to say that Kong offered wine. The new year is approaching. There are a lot of business travelers returning home for the new year. I'm afraid there aren't so many bills at ordinary times." Yu Zhining shook his head and lost his mind without victory. The post station bank can't have so many remittances every day.
Li Chengqian shook his head and said, "no, it's just the income of a post bank in Chang'an city. The money in the world flows with each other. Once all the post banks in the ten roads of the Tang Dynasty operate, the money in the Tang Dynasty can be remitted to the world. From then on, the amount of daily bills will certainly double, and the income of the post bank will also double."
"Double! Isn't that a profit of 600000!" the people in the East Palace couldn't help but be shocked. Moreover, this is only the income expectation of the post bank, which has just opened the ten roads of the Tang Dynasty. Once the post bank opens the post bank in all governments and counties, what a grand occasion it will be.
"No wonder mojiazi never forgets to set up mojiacun bank, but it turned out to have such terrible benefits." an east palace official smacked his tongue.
Everyone knows that there is no simple industry that mojiazi attaches importance to, especially the banking business that he attaches most importance to. Even if he pays 300000 yuan, he still has to establish mojiacun bank. When they set foot in it, they knew that the banking industry has such broad prospects.
"Moreover, it is said that the bill income of Mojia village bank accounts for only half of the total income, and the rest is the loan interest income, which is also not less than the bill income." Kong Yingda took a deep breath.
In later generations, the income from bills of exchange was almost negligible, and most of the bank income depended on loans. However, in the era of inconvenient transportation in Datang, it was extremely inconvenient for people to carry heavy gold and silver, and bills were the main source of profits,
"In the future, the post bank will also have loan business, so the income can be increased significantly!" Yu Zhining felt that his brain was not enough. Mojia village bank was only on the Longhai line, and the post bank can cover the whole Tang Dynasty, with more obvious advantages.
Everyone in the East Palace nodded deeply. Anyone can see how broad the prospect of the post station bank is. From then on, the post station will no longer need the allocation of funds from the imperial court. If it is self-sufficient, it can also have huge profits.
"Your Highness, since the post station bank has such a huge income, I don't know how to deal with this income," Kong Yingda said suddenly.
In an instant, the whole East Palace officials were silent. If it was such money as stamp income, they could still decide to stay for the post station for their own use. However, the bank's income was hundreds of thousands of Guan, and even millions of Guan in the future. They didn't dare to make decisions without authorization.
"Naturally, it will be turned over to the State Treasury!" said Li Chengqian without hesitation.
"Turn it over to the State Treasury!" the subordinate officer of the East Palace brightened his eyes, but he felt a faint pain in his heart. It could be millions of profits every year. The East Palace gave it up.
"For thousands of years, the State Treasury has spared no effort to support the post station. Only then can there be such a scale of the post station. Now the post station bank is based on the post station and various vassal warehouses. All the post station banks are used by the court industry. Naturally, the post station bank is also owned by the imperial court. The post station should know the kindness and reward. In addition to leaving part of the profits to support the operation of the post station, the rest should be turned over to the state treasury "Said Li Chengqian in a loud voice.
"Repay your kindness! What your Highness has said is very true." Kong Yingda punted that your highness needs not money, but fame. Now the post station can not only be self-sufficient, but also feed the national treasury. It is not only the post station's reward, but also the prince's reward.
What he was most worried about before was that his Highness the prince, like the Mohist family, was ready to hand over the profits to the internal Treasury. Now it seems that his Highness the prince decided the ownership of the profits from the composition of the post station bank.
"Turn it over to the State Treasury! But in this way, isn't the imperial court competing for profits with the people?" an east palace official wondered.
Yu Zhining raised his eyebrows and said, "what is fighting for profit with the people? Which of the Mohist and Ziqian family can be called the people?"
"Yes, as for ordinary people, the post bank protects them from the exploitation of flying money, and enjoys ten times the convenience of Mojia village bank, so that their money can be safely sent home. This is a good thing for everyone." Kong Yingda also made a decision.
The people in the East Palace nodded one after another. They not only disliked the Mohist school, but also sneered at the notorious son Qian family. Naturally, they would not speak for them.
"Yes, the Bank of the post station is several times better than the Bank of Mojia village in the hands of the palace, and the scale of the post station is more than ten times that of Kyoto express. This time, I think Merton dares to be presumptuous in front of the palace!" Li Chengqian said proudly.
"Your Royal Highness, the emperor of heaven, can't be compared with Mozi!" the people in the East Palace complimented one after another.
Most of them are people of noble families. They feel much better when they hear that they can suppress the Mohist family and suffer heavy losses because of the collapse of the Ziqian family.
"In that case, let's stop here today! We will see off Hou Shangshu's army tomorrow." Li Chengqian said personally.
"Farewell, Minister!" all the people in the East Palace asked to leave one after another.
After the officials of the East Palace left, Li Chengqian looked at the statement in his hand, smiled and said, "my father has been working hard for the military expenditure of the western expedition. I think with this income, I can certainly satisfy my father."
The next day,
Suddenly it snowed heavily, and the whole Guanzhong was white. However, it did not affect the army's journey at all.
Outside Chang'an City, a large army gathered, and every soldier stood proudly in the snow waiting for the review. The leader of the three armed forces was Hou Junji, a famous general of the Tang Dynasty. From Hou Junji to ordinary soldiers, everyone wore a military green military cotton coat, which was the proud masterpiece of Mohist ink clothes. He reached out to the military and people's love, and put on the military coat, even in the wind and snow, he was not afraid of the cold, This is also Hou Junji's courage to propose to march in the twelfth lunar month.
Moreover, now the northwest is blocked by heavy snow, and the road to Gaochang West Turk has been covered by heavy snow, which is more conducive to hiding the news of the army's departure, which is enough for the countries in the western regions to get the news of the Tang Dynasty's departure a month later.
"The three armed forces are ready. Please review them." Hou Junji proudly stood at the head of the army and said proudly.
Li Shimin looked at the majestic soldiers standing proudly in the snow. A burst of pride rushed into his heart. With such majestic soldiers, it was the cornerstone of the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty.
"Gaochang was rude to our Tang Dynasty. I didn't want to investigate it. However, Ju Wentai had an evil heart, destroyed the peace on the Silk Road and repeatedly violated the Tianwei of our Tang Dynasty. Today, I launched a military expedition not for my own benefit, but for the sake of justice between Yiwu and Yanqi, but also for the long-term peace in the western regions," Li Shimin said.
Although this war is to pull out the cancer of Gaochang on the Silk Road, Li Shimin naturally wants to determine the justice of this war from the legal point of view.
"Your Majesty is kind!" the generals shouted one after another.
"Hou Junji, I will hand over the three armies to you!" Li Shimin bowed solemnly and granted Hou Junji a general.
Hou Junji knelt down on one knee and said, "the last general will certainly live up to his Majesty's order and will never be a teacher until Gaochang is broken."
"The three armies listen to the order!" Hou Junji got up, turned on his horse, drew out his long sword and shouted fiercely.
"Obey the order of the general!" all the soldiers said in unison.
"Go to war!" Hou Junji said loudly.
In an instant, the drums were beating, and the majestic team changed in an orderly manner, striding along the brick road that had already cleared the snow.
Hou Junji couldn't help but be satisfied. Last time, the scale of the western expedition to Tuyuhun was no less than this. However, last time, he was a deputy general and didn't stop Fu Yun from missing great achievements. This time, he was the commander-in-chief, and the three armies listened to his orders. He believed that the battle would be like Tuyuhun in the western expedition, holding Wentai's head and returning, His credit and title must be comparable to his nominal Master Li Jing.
Hou Junji looked around proudly and couldn't help being satisfied. However, when his remaining light swept a figure, his heart couldn't help responding.
"Mojiazi!" the three armies had gone to war, and only the firearms prison order led by mojiazi made him secretly angry.
"At this time, I'll introduce you to Chang'an city. If you make any mistakes in the army, don't blame the general for his ruthlessness." Hou Junji snorted coldly in his heart.
However, among the officials, Merton didn't care about hou Junji's eyes at all. He couldn't help feeling when he watched the army go out.
Many people once thought that the aristocratic family and the Mohist family had been engaged in a business war for three years. Now the aristocratic family took the initiative to stop, and the Mohist family got a hard won chance to breathe. But Merton was so unwise. The peace between the Mohist family and the aristocratic family was only maintained for more than a month, and Merton took the initiative to break the peace.
However, they do not know that real peace is never expected to be held high by the opponent, but peace fought by knife and gun wars.
Mohism yearns for peace more than anyone else. However, the lessons of the past millennium have made Mohism never expect peace. This ink technology exhibition will let Mohism end the business war with the aristocratic family, and then win the battle of Gaochang wholeheartedly.
