"Your Majesty, you haven't eaten much in the past few days, why don't you eat something before you get busy?"
Seeing Liu Deng enter the study, Zhao Wengu hurriedly walked in with a bowl of noodles.
This is Liu Deng's old habit. Even though he has now become the ruler of this huge empire, his favorite thing now is still a bowl of noodles.
"Let's put it there first. I'll finish these important things first. It's been delayed for so long. The Prime Minister's Mansion should be anxious! Look at this. They don't know what to do with the swords, guns, swords and halberds that the county here has replaced! "
While Liu Deng was talking, he casually wrote down his opinions on the paper.
All those eliminated will be reforged into plows.
"Then you can't skip eating!"
Zhao Wengu looked at Liu Deng's slimmer body and his eye circles were a little red.
"How about this? I'll eat and you can read for me!"
While Liu Deng was talking, he handed several important notebooks to Zhao Wengu.
"This is not good..."
Although these things are just ordinary papers, they are the most important secrets in the entire huge empire.
"Okay, so what if I let you know? Doesn't this big man know many secrets from you?"
Liu Deng smiled.
"Oh well!"
Zhao Wengu felt sweet in his heart. Speaking of it, she might really be the woman who knew the most secrets in the entire Han Dynasty.
After all, the banker's behavior was all her fault.
Even now, those officials responsible for the bank's specific affairs still dare not change a word of the rules she set.
Seriously speaking, it's not that I dare not, but that I can't. All the rules are intertwined, and one move affects the whole body.
Moreover, the amount of money currently held by the entire Jinxiu Bank has exceeded three times that of the entire Han Dynasty treasury!
In order to put a lock on Jinxiu Bank, Liu Deng put a lot of effort into it.
Previously, in the name of the emperor's decree, this thing was included in the ancestral system, and then a lot of effort was spent to make the bank system independent from the imperial court's administrative system.
Today's banks are completely independent from the imperial power, but they are also protected by the imperial power.
Even if the emperor wanted to borrow money from a bank, more than half of the six top shopkeepers and thirty-six top deacons within the entire bank system would have to agree before the loan could be completed.
Moreover, in this entire system, the six top shopkeepers have the right to anonymously block.
Even though Zhao Wengu is no longer in charge, she is still one of the big shopkeepers of the bank.
The other shopkeepers are also from the wealthy families in the country.
Of course, although the eldest princess and Prince Liang did not serve as the chief shopkeepers themselves, their spokespersons were all one of them.
When these people are combined, even the emperor must follow the rules honestly.
Of course, Liu Deng actually knew very well that any system was dead. Under the current social model, imperial power would always find loopholes.
Therefore, he took advantage of the moment when the imperial power was at its weakest to forcefully brainwash Liu Che.
He instilled in him all his knowledge of the bank and the consequences of its collapse.
Those who hold high positions must have a sense of reverence.
This is the most important!
Only in this way can this huge empire remain strong and prosperous.
"This is Lord Feng Jingfeng's memorial. The survey of the railway from Buqi City in the east to Jinyang in the west has been completed. However, the cost of this project is so high that even the national treasury cannot afford it..."
After Zhao Wengu took a rough look at it, he directly summarized it for Liu Deng.
"Tell him not to worry about money. Let them make a list and pay half of it on behalf of the national treasury. The remaining half will be used in return for the railway's income in the next twenty years. Bonds will be issued to the entire Han Dynasty, with annual interest. , just follow the bank’s interest plus 30%!”
Liu Deng said carefully while eating noodles.
"Bond?"
Zhao Wengu's eyes lit up, as if he remembered something.
"Well, bonds, like salt stamps!"
Liu Deng explained casually.
He has been thinking about this for a long time, and this should be the best way now.
"What about the payment time?"
"Divided into one year, three years, and five years, the interest will be settled every year, and the full amount will be paid when due! The name will not be recorded, and it can be transferred. The minimum denomination is ten guan!"
"If this is the case, can all future road construction be carried out according to this plan?"
It's true that Zhao Wengu was a banker, so he knew everything at once, and he immediately understood what Liu Deng meant.
"That's right, not just building roads, but also fighting!"
Although the Han Dynasty's treasury is now full, this can indeed be implemented as a permanent rule.
The imperial court's money is used to maintain domestic construction expenditures, and merchants' money can be used for external expansion.
If this is the case, not only will the court not lose money after a battle, but it may even make a huge fortune.
As for those businessmen, even if they knock their bones and suck out their marrow, the ones who suffer are the aliens.
Anyway, the right to mint money and tax is in the hands of the state. The more money they make, the better it will be for the state.
Ever since the news about Wei's North Korea spread, the people of the entire Han Dynasty paid great attention to the matter of paying taxes.
Especially those who do business with foreigners, they will definitely leave their tax payment documents with their mother-in-law at home when they go out.
There was once a merchant who met a pirate on the sea. He just said that he had left the tax payment documents at home, and was frightened away by a group of hundreds of pirates.
What's more, several merchants were doing business with the Buyeo people, and a drunk chief of a small tribe injured one of the merchants.
Early the next morning, the commander-in-chief of the Fuyu people personally sent troops to pacify all the more than 300 people in the tribe.
Without him, the demise of Wei's North Korea has already made these neighbors terrified.
They don't dare to give Liu Deng any excuse now. You know, their mission personally saw the Han army's new artillery last time.
Five miles away, a cannonball came down and everyone within a radius of three feet was reduced to powder!
They are still using bows and arrows, and others have begun to use explosive ones. Do they still need to fight this battle?
"This is a memorial from Lord Cao Wei, the governor of Longxi. It says that the Xiqiang invaded the border again, killed and injured more than ten people, and stole property for nothing!"
"Don't worry about him! Listen to what he said in the report? He injured more than ten people and took away the property. How much property can a dozen people have?"
Liu Deng took a bite of garlic and rolled his eyes.
"Your Majesty, in this world, Xiqiang and Yelang are still making trouble from time to time. Why haven't you dealt with them?"
Zhao Wengu asked with some confusion.
"you guess?"
Liu Deng suddenly smiled slyly.
