"Of course my grandson knows, but Grandpa Huang, doesn't he think that this is actually my biggest hidden danger? The world has only been at peace for a few decades, but the gap between the rich and the poor has already been as wide as the abyss of heaven!"
Liu Deng took a deep breath. After all, he came from later generations. Although he did not specialize in economics, thanks to Baijia Forum, Liu Deng understood a real truth.
When the gap between rich and poor is too huge, that is when a regime faces collapse!
"Where did you hear these words?"
Liu Heng took a deep breath and then asked.
"Your Majesty, it has only been a few decades since Emperor Gaozu entered the customs, but the gap between the rich and the poor in our great Han Dynasty is now shocking! Now, the dignitaries in this dynasty are singing and singing every night, not to mention the king of Wu. As far as Liu Bi is concerned, the wealth in the names of his father and son alone is almost equivalent to the tax revenue of the entire Han Dynasty in several years!"
This guy Liu Deng really used Liu Bi to make a fool of him no matter what bad things he did. Even Liu Heng couldn't help but shake his head secretly at his bad taste.
"With decades of accumulation in the Wu Kingdom, it is not surprising that he has such wealth!"
On the contrary, Liu Heng disagreed. After all, he was a prince, and he had been a prince for decades. What's so strange about having so much money?
"But Your Majesty, have you ever thought about what they will do with so much money?"
Liu Deng's words made the emperor fall into deep thought.
"do what?"
Although Liu Heng has been involved in government affairs for decades, he really didn't pay much attention to these financial matters. Now that Liu Deng asked him about it, he was really confused for a while.
"Your Majesty, you may not know that father and son are very good at making money. In addition to hoarding a large amount of gold and silver, all the remaining money is used to purchase land, and most of it is land in Guanzhong! Moreover, no matter it is This is what all the powerful people in the world do..."
When Liu Deng said these last words, Liu Heng stood up with a bang.
How much money does King Wu Liu Bi have?
Although he, the emperor, does not have exact figures, he still has a general impression.
If it is true that as Liu Deng said, they spent a large amount of money to purchase land in Guanzhong, then how much land do they have in their hands?
According to the laws of the Han Dynasty, the land of the powerful does not need to pay land tax!
"Do you have any evidence for saying this?"
Liu Heng took a deep breath and then asked.
"Evidence? Your Majesty just needs to send someone to check the grain payment records of Guanzhong in the past ten years, and you will probably understand!"
What more evidence is needed for such a thing? Liu Deng said with a sneer.
Liu Heng was silent now. According to his understanding of the powerful people this time, he could probably figure out that annexing land was indeed the safest way to make money that they could think of, without even having to investigate.
There was a long silence in the main hall. Emperors of all dynasties knew that land annexation should be restricted, but most of the people who had the ability to carry out land annexation were powerful people.
These people are either close ministers of the emperor or after meritorious service. Even Liu Heng himself. Did he really not know that his favorite ministers were annexing land in these years?
The eldest princess's farm is in Chang'an County, and the prince's farm is almost all near Guanzhong. Together with other relatives of the emperor, Liu Heng suddenly found that he, as an emperor, had really failed...
"Your Majesty, we can't go on like this! Once the poor become poorer and have no place to stand, all it takes is a natural disaster. I'm afraid the world will return to the time of the late Qin Dynasty, when all the heroes came together!"
When Liu Deng said this, he clearly felt that there was suddenly a killing intent in the emperor's eyes.
I go!
Liu Deng's heart skipped a beat, it was over, it was smooth!
Fortunately, the emperor's murderous intention quickly calmed down. After all, what Liu Deng said now is actually the truth. Although the words were not pleasant to hear and even a little irritating, Liu Heng still understood the words "loyal words are harsh to the ears". …
"If I follow your approach, how sure are you that you can do it?"
After breathing heavily for a few times, Liu Heng suddenly spoke.
According to Liu Deng, this bank business is indeed a good deal. At the very least, once this deposit-and-exchange business is launched, it will be the most convenient for merchants in the world!
Although these people have a low status, it has to be said that the wealth in their hands is actually not much less than that of the powerful.
Even if the powerful people are holding on to the copper coins, relying on these merchants alone, the bank's annual income is enough to be astonishing.
"If His Majesty gives his full support, I am 100% sure that this will be accomplished!"
He had traveled from a later life, and with 2,000 years of experience, if he still couldn't handle a bunch of country bumpkins, then why should he be involved in finance? He might as well just go home and grow sweet potatoes.
"If so, how much money do you need to start?"
According to Liu Deng's idea, at least there must be a semicolon in every big city, and each semicolon must have at least hundreds of thousands of coins, right?
If calculated in this way, it is simply an astronomical number.
"Actually, this matter is not as expensive as His Majesty thought! Moreover, the resistance to this matter is far less great. We can divide a group of people!"
For some reason, Liu Heng suddenly noticed that the boy's expression began to look a little vulgar again.
This was originally a very serious matter, why did the atmosphere suddenly start to go astray?
"What do you think!"
However, Liu Heng was now afraid of interrupting Liu Deng's train of thought. Although he felt that the atmosphere was a bit wrong, he still did not interrupt him.
"If this matter is done entirely with the power of the imperial court, on the one hand, too much money will be needed. On the other hand, it will push the vast majority of people to oppose us. If we bring in a few What about individual shareholders? In terms of investment, of course, the imperial court is the main contributor. The remaining shareholders will share the dividends based on the amount of capital they contribute. Of course, their shares will decrease year by year, until finally, each of them is guaranteed to be able to earn 100,000 yuan a year. Pass!"
Liu Deng immediately blinked his eyes and began to tell the emperor his ideas bit by bit.
After all, special cases were handled specially, and the various aspects involved in this matter were so wide that even Liu Deng did not have the courage to offend the entire powerful class at once.
After hearing Liu Deng explain his idea, Liu Heng looked at Liu Deng with a strange look.
"Boy, we are the only two in this room, how about we say something personal?"
Liu Heng suddenly said with a half-smile.
Liu Deng's heart skipped a beat, couldn't he?
Come again?
