Tang Ping's two offices responded to the reward, and finally everyone on both sides returned to Chang'an City with satisfaction.
And he was not idle either, following Li Yuanji into the palace.
"How's it going? Did you send someone today to tell you that the bank you want to open is ready?" Li Shimin hadn't rested yet. He was working in the Xiande Hall and saw the two people coming in. He stood up and moved around and asked.
"Second uncle, ask someone to get something to eat first, just noodles!" Tang Ping touched his stomach: "I only drank water tonight and didn't eat much food. As soon as the water was empty, I started to feel hungry."
With Tang Ping's drinking capacity, it was naturally impossible to entertain so many people, so his wine flask was filled with plain water.
Who among those people dared to see whether the wine he drank was real wine? Even if I find out about it, I won’t say it.
It's just that drinking so much plain water doesn't make me feel so good.
He knew that Li Shimin was working here and the imperial kitchen would be ready to serve food at any time, so he said this.
Sure enough, within a few minutes, three bowls of hot noodles were served.
There was a feeling of suffocation in the room, so the three of them squatted outside the door of Xiande Hall and started to eat.
"The bank thing is basically done. I'll just find a bigger shop to change it. Huh..." Tang Pingzi took a sip and watched Li Yuanji take a meatball from his bowl, and could only She rolled her eyes at him.
"Huh..." Li Shimin saw it, took it from Li Yuanji's bowl, and threw it back into Tang Ping's bowl: "You are a good bank, but it is really difficult for our government to deal with it now."
"Yes!" Tang Ping quickly stuffed the meatballs into his mouth. This kind of hand-made beef balls is delicious: "If the government wants to make it, the most common people will save their spare money. Those aristocratic families, wealthy households, The chamber of commerce is afraid that the court will know how much money they have."
"Although I am your nephew, I have been doing business with them for so many years and have never used my identity as Duke Ping, so they can feel a little more at ease."
"But when the Tang Dynasty becomes richer and the wealthy households and chambers of commerce know that their money is nothing in the eyes of the Tang Dynasty, I think they will slowly change their minds."
Tang Ping said, huffing and puffing
I drank two big mouthfuls of soup, and my stomach, which started to fill up with cold water, finally felt better.
Li Yuanji said on the side: "It is indeed very fast to make money this way. Ten million will give you an interest of 350,000, but here you can get back an interest of 900,000. Every time you come back, you will get a net profit of 550,000." ."
As he said that, he asked with some worry: "But what if the money you borrowed really can't be recovered? You know, they can borrow hundreds of millions, and it will be wasted. How much money do you have to borrow?" Make up for this with interest?”
Tang Ping said with a smile: "Don't worry, the assets I want them to mortgage are all high-quality assets. Take Miaoman's forest farm shares as an example. For such a large forest farm, if he doesn't pay back the money and I auction it, the Yun Family Woodware Store will Not to mention ten million, they are willing to pay even thirty million."
How can an individual chamber of commerce usually buy such assets that are held in the hands of various countries?
If it were to be auctioned, I'm afraid even the Tang Dynasty officials would be willing to participate in the auction.
"But what about their default?" Li Yuanji asked after finishing the noodles and putting the bowl aside.
"Repudiation?" Tang Ping and Li Shimin asked in unison, and then they looked at each other and smiled.
The reason why the vassal countries were vassals of the Tang Dynasty and were not attacked by the Tang Dynasty was because they had always adhered to their duties and made no mistakes.
If he dared to default on his debt, would he really think that Li Shimin's cavalry were all honor guards?
At that time, the Miao Man Kingdom may have to be renamed into a new Tao of the Tang Dynasty.
Tang Ping also put down a bowl, and then said to Li Shimin: "However, this celebration is much more expensive than I expected, and the money has to be paid by the court."
Li Shimin said angrily: "Your wife is acting as the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs. Didn't she say she has no money?"
"If you don't have money now, doesn't it mean you won't have money in the future?" Tang Ping said confidently: "The imperial court can't justify spending one million for its own celebration, right?"
"I've done some calculations. When the bank is established, I will have at least 20 million left to lend to the court. How about I only give you seven cents of the annual interest in half a year?"
"Well, you Tang Ping!" Li Shimin laughed angrily: "You are doing business at the expense of your own family."
"Second uncle, this means you will be in the first grade of junior high school and I will be in the fifteenth grade!" Tang Ping looked at him with sincere eyes.
Li Shimin: "Didn't you trick your own family first?"
"Of course, if you really don't want to, with 10 million in cash and the strong support of various chambers of commerce, I can make this celebration a good one for you, but it's just a good one."
"Okay, okay!" Li Shimin finally compromised: "I'll take a loan, I'll take a loan, 20 million is 20 million. At the end of this year, Datang Business will get back the tax revenue. 20 million is nothing!"
"Pattern!" Tang Ping gave a thumbs up: "This is the pattern that our Emperor of the Tang Dynasty should have!"
Li Shimin rolled his eyes at him and sat back in his seat, ready to continue working: "But if you do this, I'm afraid all the temples will regard you as a thorn in their side."
"Then let them do it!" Tang Ping said nonchalantly: "I can create a Buddha coming to the world in Tianzhu, but why can't I do it in Chang'an?"
"It really pisses me off. I will bring a Buddha to the world in Chang'an, and then I will say that they are all fake monks. When there are no believers, I will see how they can still be ruthless."
Li Shimin certainly had no objection to Tang Ping's suppression of Buddhism.
After all, these Buddhisms also have conflicts of interest with him.
Secondly, what the Li family promotes are the descendants of Li Er and what they respect is Taoism.
The matter of setting up a private bank was too big. He had only temporarily informed Li Shimin in advance, but now he naturally had to explain it in detail in person.
In other words, Tang Ping dared to do this, but other chambers of commerce did not dare to directly lend money to surrounding countries like this.
With Li Shimin's support, Tang Ping asked people to renovate three empty shops in the east, west, and south districts of Chang'an the next day.
It's probably similar to a modern bank, with half the customer area and half the work area.
The work area is separated by steel fences, leaving several windows for people who come to do business.
In addition, there are several private rooms at the back that are used as VIP rooms to receive big customers.
It only took a few days for several Tang banks to make improvements.
As for the staff inside, some were drawn from various accounting offices of Tang's Trading Company, and then a few top students in arithmetic were recruited from vocational and technical schools.
Datang Tang Bank officially opens!
