Chapter 963 Weird person
The money house, Li Chongyi calculated the account book in his hand. From now on, the money house in Chang'an can officially get on track. As long as it operates smoothly in the future, there will be no big problems. Just thinking about the development of the money house, a servant came to report: "Shopkeeper Li, Minister Cui of the Ministry of Revenue, is here."
"Let him come in." Li Chongyi said with a lower account book in his hand.
The Minister of Revenue urged him to go to the money shop, looked at everything here and sighed: "Sometimes I really envy you people who can count money until they are numb."
"I don't know what happened to Cui Shangshu?" Li Chongyi said politely.
"You don't have to salute you older than me." Cui Geng continued: "You need a lot of money to fight the Chinese and Western countries, you know."
"The money house is just a money house, and I dare not get involved in the affairs of the court." Li Chongyi said immediately.
When you want to separate the money house from the court and the country. It is a matter for the court and what does it have to do with the money house?
Cui Geng looked at Li Chongyi and said again: "I have heard that the eldest son of the Hejian County Prince is impartial. Now I see that this is true. In fact, this time I am not here to visit your money shop. My family is also a businessman. Over the years, I have earned a lot of money from Gu Houye's business, and most of my money has been deposited into the money shop. If the court needs money during this Western Expedition, I don't want the money shop to be taken out."
"So that's the case. Then Cui Shangshu came here for another purpose?" Li Chongyi said.
"Where did Brother Li start with this? I just want to see the money house. What's the purpose?" Cui Geng said with a smile: "The money house is now under the Gu family. There are eleven shopkeepers in the money house each manage it. Among these people, Brother Li must be the future manager of the money house."
"I dare not take it." Li Chongyi waved his hand and said.
"Brother Li is really humble." Cui Geng looked at the Chang'an residents queuing downstairs and whispered: "I heard that Mr. Gu wants to open the money house in Goguryeo?"
"It's true, Lord Shangshu is well-informed." Li Chongyi said.
Cui Geng smiled and waved his hand: "I am not well-informed. It's just that the old man Cheng Yaojin said after drinking too much. It's been a hundred and ten years since he passed on it. But now I think about it, the money house was just opened in Chang'an, and I'm going to enlighten Goguryeo so soon. Isn't it wrong?"
"Well, I have thought about Cui Shangshu's idea." Li Chongyi also nodded, "Although it is a bit inappropriate, it is said that Gu Hou had already taken over Liaodong City and connected to the area between Shanhaiguan and Liaodong City. In this way, Goguryeo and the merchants in the Central Plains have more trade deals. However, over the years, the prices of Goguryeo and the Tang Dynasty were different. Many times, they were determined by each other with each other."
"I have been studying money these days in the money shop. I don't need money from Goguryeo and money from the Tang Dynasty. Once there is a problem within Goguryeo, many merchants who come and go between Goguryeo and the Central Plains will have problems. For example, all the prices of Goguryeo suddenly increased, and Goguryeo made a large amount of copper coins, but they used the same money to buy things from the Tang Dynasty. At that time, something happened to the Central Plains."
After hearing this, Cui Geng thought about the words before and after, "It seems that this is true. Gu Qing opened the money house in Goguryeo to control the trade in Goguryeo. If something happened to Goguryeo, Liaodong City could adjust it as quickly as possible, so that the merchants in the Central Plains would not suffer losses due to various changes."
"Yes." Cui Geng asked again: "The money in Goguryeo is actually not much, can the money shop indirectly control Goguryeo's money?"
"If it is well operated, it can be controlled, and the existence of the Goguryeo money house can also make the merchants in the Central Plains trade more at ease." Li Chongyi continued: "It is better to regard it as a protector's mansion. People in the Central Plains in Goguryeo can also get shelter from the money house. Of course, sometimes I think Gu Houye has a second intention to open a money house in Goguryeo."
"What's the purpose?" Cui Geng asked.
The breeze blew outside the window, and Li Chongyi came to his senses and looked at Cui Geng, "Shu Cui, are there too many things you want to know? Although the money house can be supervised by the court, our money house doesn't need to report everything to the court."
"Of course, no need." Cui Geng said with a smile: "I just asked. If Brother Li doesn't want to answer, I won't ask. I'm here to make it easier for me to gain insight!"
"I won't give it to you." Li Chongyi said.
After Cui Geng left the money shop, Li Chongyi found a servant and told him: "Tell the Gu family that the Minister of Revenue has come to the money shop."
"Yes." The servant left immediately after receiving the words.
Li Chongyi stood upstairs and looked at the shopkeepers busy working downstairs, and was still a little confused. How could the Minister of Revenue suddenly come to the money shop? He also felt like he was talking about his own words.
Gucun
Gu Qing looked at the spring planting situation in the village. There were many villagers working in the fields. He was walking in the garden and accidentally saw a figure in the village. Looking at the other person's back, Gu Qing looked forward and looked more and more familiar with the guy.
"Dare you ask me, yes?" Gu Qing asked curiously.
Cui Geng came back to his senses and looked at Gu Qing and grinned, "Mr. Gu Hou, it's been a long time since I saw Cui Geng."
Gu Qing looked at this guy, "Cui Geng?"
"You really don't know Mr. Gu?" Cui Geng continued: "When Mr. Gu was appointed as the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, we worked together."
"So it's you." Gu Qing then remembered, "Why are you in the village?"
"Just come to see the customs and customs here." Cui Geng said with a smile.
"Wait!" Gu Qing thought in his mind: "You are the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue now."
"Yes." Cui Geng nodded with a smile.
Gu Qing remembered that when he was in the Ministry of Revenue, this guy knew he was lazy and not doing things like himself. He thought that this guy would leave the court after the reorganization of the court. Unexpectedly, he became the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue. He asked in confusion: "I want to wish you a success."
"Where are there," Cui Geng also said: "If there is any urgent matter at home, I will say goodbye first."
"Don't rush to leave." Gu Qing said again: "Let's talk about the past together."
"If you have an emergency at home, you can't walk away, don't send him away." Cui Geng turned around and walked all the way.
Standing there, Gu Qing thought about why this guy was a little sneaky.
On the other side of the village, in Li Er's house, Wang Qin came to Li Er and whispered: "Your Majesty, our people have already been to the money house. Gu Qing really wants to open the money house in Goguryeo, and there are other uses."
