Chapter eight hundred and thirty first pit yourself
The role of banks is not only used for lending. In later countries, banks are the core of the entire financial system, and the financial system is one of the most important links in the national economy. As long as it is used properly, it can even determine the rise and fall of a country. The ancient feudal dynasties in the Central Plains never paid attention to the role of banks. Although money banks appeared very early, they did not form a scale until the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and they were always in the hands of private people.
It is precisely because of this that Li Xiu wanted to create the bank in advance. As for suppressing the temple's longevity database, it was just a by-the-stop effect. His real idea was to use banks to promote the economic development of the Tang Dynasty. Not to mention anything else, if it could solve the problem that the Tang Dynasty had been in short supply due to insufficient copper production, it would be enough to have a huge impact on the Tang Dynasty's economy.
Li Shimin, Changsun Wuji and others may not yet realize the far-reaching impact of banks on the country, but they were not aware of the economy when governing such a huge empire as the Tang Dynasty. Therefore, they were very interested in the plan that Li Xiu explained was a bank and a money house. After Li Xiu finished speaking, they took the initiative to ask some questions, and Li Xiu also answered them one by one.
"The prince-in-law is indeed a talent for governing the world. It's a pity to stay in the small Ministry of Agriculture!" Wei Zheng was silent for a moment after hearing this, and finally sighed suddenly. Although Li Xiu had long been famous for his erudition and talent, after listening to Li Xiu's plan for the money house, he felt that he had underestimated Li Xiu before. Such a person should have entered the court long ago. Not to mention anything else, a Minister of the Ministry of Revenue would be no problem.
"What Wei Qing said is very true. I also feel that it is too aggrieved to stay in the small Ministry of Agriculture!" Li Shimin also looked at Li Xiudao with a smile.
When Li Xiu heard this, he suddenly shivered, and the ominous premonition in his heart became stronger. He hurriedly said, "Your Majesty is joking with Doctor Wei. I know my own affairs. It's okay to let me come up with ideas and think of ways, but if I really want to do practical things, I can't compare with Fang Xiang and Du Xiang!"
"Young Concubine, you are polite. When the Turks were destroyed, the Concubine dispatched food, grass and supplies in the rear to ensure the needs of the army in front. It can be said that the reason why the army in front was beyond the reach of the power of the Concubine in later generations was thanks to the dispatching skills of the Concubine in later generations. This ability is far from ours!" At this moment, Fang Xuanling also smiled, but he seemed to understand Li Shimin's thoughts, and he smiled strangely at this time.
Seeing Fang Xuanling also spoke, Li Xiu couldn't help but glared at him angrily. At this time, he had already understood what he had neglected, but unfortunately it was too late to come here.
Sure enough, Li Shimin smiled and said to Li Xiu again: "The three proposed items by the prince consort are all at the right time. If implemented, they will definitely curb the development of Buddhism and Taoism. Especially the third item of opening a money house. I feel that there is great potential. However, the money house is an emerging thing. I am worried that if someone else does it, it will probably be incompetent and may even make big mistakes. Fortunately, this matter was proposed by the prince consort, and you are also very familiar with the affairs of the money house, so I think it is better to let the prince consort be responsible for this matter?"
"Your Majesty, I... I..." Li Xiu wanted to refuse at this time, but he opened his mouth several times but didn't know how to speak. Before, because of insufficient time, he only considered dealing with Buddhism and the promotion of the Tang Dynasty's economy after the emergence of the money house, but did not consider who should be responsible for the money house. As a result, Li Shimin now pushed this matter to him, and he couldn't find a reason to refuse. After all, you brought this matter up, who would be responsible if you were not responsible?
"Your Majesty is wise, and I think the son-in-law is the most suitable candidate. I think it is better to issue an order immediately to prepare for the establishment of a money house. As for the establishment of the monk and Taoist Records, it must be handed over to a special person to handle it. I think Doctor Wei is the most suitable for this matter!" Changsun Wuji also smiled and said.
He not only recommended Li Xiu, but also Wei Zheng also recommended it together. However, the monk and Taoist Lusi is a job that offends people. After all, the Buddhist and Taoist sects also have a strong influence among the nobles. However, the monk and Taoist Lusi have to use the certificate to block the number of monks and Taoist sects, which will definitely cause a great sensation. At that time, many people will definitely put pressure on the monk and Taoist sects, either openly or secretly, so the person in charge of this matter must not be afraid of any resistance. Wei Zheng happened to be the most suitable candidate, but in this way, Wei Zheng may have to offend many people in the end.
"Your Majesty, I am willing to preside over the affairs of the monks and Taoists!" Although Wei Zheng knew that Changsun Wuji had no good intentions to recommend him, he spoke without hesitation. Since Li Jiancheng's death, he has completely abandoned his personal gains and losses, and now he only has the interests of the Tang Dynasty in his heart.
"Wei Qing is indeed my minister!" Seeing Wei Zheng taking over the monk Taoist Lusi's destined to offend people without hesitation, Li Shimin couldn't help but praise him. Then he looked at Li Xiu, who had been silent all the time. At this time, the rest of the palace also looked at Li Xiu. After all, they all knew that Li Xiu was unwilling to enter the court, but the matter of the money house was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was in the palace.
Li Xiu also secretly regretted it at this time. He didn't expect that he would cheat him, but it was too late to regret it now. Li Shimin and the others were waiting for his reply, and he had no reason to refuse. When he thought of this, he couldn't help but feel a headache.
"Mr. Prince Consort, you said just now that the money house is of great importance. Cracking the loan of the Changshengku is just by way of doing it. The real function of the money house is to promote the development of the country's economy. I am not at ease to leave such an important thing to others, so this matter can only be done by the prince consort!" Li Shimin saw that Li Xiu did not speak, and immediately spoke again. As an emperor, he was able to persuade Li Xiu in front of everyone twice, which was almost a rare sight, and it was the first time since he ascended the throne.
Li Xiu couldn't help but sigh when he heard this. It seemed that he could not push this matter off anyway. At that moment, he had to bow and salute and said, "Thank you for your appreciation. I am willing to take charge of the construction of the money house!"
"Haha~, I know that the prince-consort will definitely not disappoint me!" Seeing Li Xiu finally nodding, Li Shimin couldn't help but laugh to the sky. He had always wanted Li Xiu to take on more responsibilities before, but Li Xiu was only willing to guard the Ministry of Agriculture, but he didn't expect that he jumped in by himself this time, which was really a surprise.
"Your Majesty, if you are planning to build a money house, I have another request. If Your Majesty refuses to agree, then there is no way to raise the money house!" At this moment, Li Xiu suddenly spoke solemnly again.
