In fact, Yang Fan has already thought about this matter!
Although Li Jinghuan and his brothers belong to the top nobles in Chang'an City.
In terms of family assets and background, it is actually impossible to scrape together so much money.
Of course, it is essential to find someone to cooperate with, but you need to carefully consider the choice of partner.
Thinking of this, Yang Fan said: "Originally, the shares were distributed directly to the brothers, so I have no control over whether they all share it out privately or find someone to cooperate. But in Datang Commercial Bank, I only recognize the shares of a few of your brothers. No one else has a say."
While everyone was happy, they also looked suspicious.
On the one hand, it is Yang Fan's trust, and on the other hand, it involves the family's position.
Seeing their looks, Yang Fan advised earnestly: "Since ancient times, the position of prince has been the focus of all parties' attention, because it involves huge interests and even the fate of the entire family."
"But as a brother, I still want to advise all brothers. No matter they are the prince or any prince, they are all princes, not emperors. No matter when, there will only be one emperor."
"Who is the emperor? We just need to be loyal to him and work for him. This way we will never make mistakes. Besides, His Majesty is in his prime. I advise you not to think about the merits of serving the dragon or using shares as contributions. Don’t end up not getting the credit for your work, but getting yourself involved instead!”
This is what Yang Fan said from the bottom of his heart. In the original history, Du He and Fang Yiai were deeply implicated.
After all, no matter whether you support Li Chengqian, Li Tai, or other princes, you will end up with nothing.
No one will be happy when Li Zhi, the young lady, comes to power and settles accounts with your family one by one.
But now that he is here, it is almost impossible for Li Zhi to become the emperor. Who makes Li Zhi miss his Wu Meiniang!
But they also knew Li Jinghuan's concerns.
The interests of the major families are too complicated, and the forces of all parties are intertwined. It is not possible for these brothers to do whatever they want.
As the saying goes, people in the world cannot help themselves.
However, Yang Fan just reminded him as a brotherly thing. As for whether to listen or not, their families have their own considerations.
…
Money fascinates people's hearts, while power fascinates people's minds. Li Jinghuan's considerations are definitely not based on imagination.
Once Datang Commercial Bank opens overseas markets, it will trade all kinds of things, and the profits will definitely be leveraged.
Not only the prince may be eyeing it, but also various aristocratic families will definitely take risks. This is the charm of capital.
If there is a 50% profit, people will be ready to make a move;
If there is a 100% profit, people will take risks;
If there is a 300% profit, people would dare to risk beheading;
If there were tens of thousands of profits, people would dare to trample on all laws and human nature in the world.
This is also the reason why Yang Fan wants to win over Li Shimin and Cheng Chumo and other top second-generation people to join the team.
The reason why we want to introduce capital is to plant a capital seed for Datang, and someone must protect this capital seedling.
From the fact that Cui and Zheng dared to plan the Liuli business, it can be seen that Yang Fan is a bit weak on his own!
Although fists can solve many problems, not everything can be solved with fists.
More importantly, now that he has arrived in this era, Yang Fan certainly wants to do something and bring something different to the world.
The ancients didn't know the harm of capital, but Yang Fan had seen it.
In later generations, country H is a typical example of being controlled by capital, and the government of country H is just a pawn used by capital to control the country.
Although Yang Fan does not have that kind of ambition, he still wants to use capital to achieve the goal of making the people rich and the country strong.
After making the people rich, we must mobilize the blood of the people.
Otherwise, the fatter you are, the easier it is to be slaughtered.
Since ancient times, Confucianism has been used to govern the country in the Central Plains. In fact, this has great disadvantages.
It’s not that Confucianism is bad, but it requires corresponding foundation, otherwise etiquette and morality are just words.
But if Yang Fan wants to single-handedly stop the rolling wheel of Confucianism that has been passed down for thousands of years, he will be like a mantis trying to stop the wheel.
Now there is a force that may open up this situation, and that is capital.
Capital can sweep everything, destroy everything, and stimulate people's desires.
Excessively raising capital will make people become hypocritical, treacherous, and morally ungrateful at some point in the future.
But as long as we can destroy the social structure formed by Confucianism handed down from ancient times, it is worth it.
Civilization must always be based on material foundations, not just on benevolence, justice and morality.
In society, the economic base always determines the superstructure.
The ancients understood this truth a long time ago, but people have always ignored it.
Some people even talk about benevolence, justice and morality, but empty talk about serving the country. What is the result?
The Chinese descendants who knew etiquette and benevolence were plundered and killed again and again by the barbarians who insulted their hair and drank their blood and refused to accept enlightenment, and became lambs to be slaughtered.
It even almost ended thousands of years of civilization. What is the reason?
It is because the Central Plains are deeply influenced by Confucianism and are too self-righteous.
Thinking you are superior, you put down your defensive weapons.
In Yang Fan's view, all talk of propriety, justice, integrity, and friendship with neighbors are all nonsense. Big fists are the last word.
Although these words sound unpleasant, they are true because there are bloody lessons to serve as warnings.
Only when social wealth accumulates to a certain level and the people are rich and the country is strong, will civilization undergo qualitative changes.
If you don't have enough to eat, don't have warm clothes, and are bullied every day, but you still insist on propriety, justice, integrity, loyalty, filial piety and benevolence, isn't this deceiving yourself and others?
Yang Fan is not a politician or sociologist, nor does he know which system is most suitable for the development of the country.
But Yang Fan knows the principle of combining strength and softness.
What you say is only useful if your fist is big, otherwise others will just think you are farting.
The experience of later generations told Yang Fan that capital is the most powerful force in the world.
Capital can arouse the desire, courage, and even bloodiness hidden deep in the human soul.
A country with an ancient civilization that has a heritage should not only talk about civilization, but also arouse the people's inherent bloody spirit in order to better serve the country.
Regardless of whether the Central Plains is the Tang Dynasty, Song Dynasty or Ming Dynasty, Yang Fan hopes that the country in the Central Plains can become an empire on which the sun never sets.
The descendants of Yan and Huang did not have to endure the enslavement of northern Tartars.
There is no need to cry that there is no China after Yashan.
There is no need to endure the hundreds of years of darkness that the Bianzi Kingdom has brought to the people of the Central Plains.
What’s more important is that you don’t have to be afraid of the barbarians’ machine guns and cannons!
Therefore, Yang Fan decided to introduce the power of capital in this era.
On the one hand, it can improve the quality of life of the people in the Central Plains.
On the other hand, it can check and balance the kind and weak side of Confucianism and inspire the people's fighting spirit.
Of course Li Jinghuan and the others didn't know Yang Fan's deeper purpose, and they would certainly consider Yang Fan's suggestions carefully.
Even if they find out later that the day when capital takes root in Datang, it will be unstoppable.
