Chapter 82 Secret Discussion (3)
Li Jing quickly helped Lin Feng up and said to Yan: "You are just talking about it."
Lin Feng was not polite and said directly: "I dare to ask His Majesty what his Majesty thinks of the subjects of other countries?"
Li Jing was speechless again, and after saying "this" he said nothing.
Lin Feng sighed inwardly that Li Jing, in history, was humble and indecisive. He was often taken away by ministers. Often, he would follow whatever the ministers said. The ministers led by the "Five Ghosts" and "Four Evils" naturally could not come up with any good measures that would benefit the country and the people.
Take the destruction of Chu as an example. When Bian Hao first entered Changsha, it was famine in Hunan. Bian Hao opened warehouses to release grain to provide relief to the victims and won the hearts of the people. As a result, the people of Chu demanded that Bian Hao be the commander. After Liu Renshan captured Yuezhou, he "supported the support of the enemy, and forgot his death to die." However, after the Southern Tang army captured Jianzhou, he "leaped the troops to plunder and burned the military houses and houses; on that evening, the cold rain and the frozen dead were sleeping together to build a hope for life." Since then, Feng Yansi and others who had returned to the court have "specialized in seizing Chu to provide funds" in order to boast about their achievements in pacifying Chu, and "specialized in seizing Chu to provide funds" and "accept all the gold, silk, treasures, grains, and even boats, pavilions, and flowers and fruits in Hunan were all submissive to Jinling, and sent Yang Jixun, the chief officer, to collect Hunan rent and tuitions to support the troops. Jixun and others were harsh in their duties, and Hunan people were disappointed." This already indicates the miserable situation of Bian Hao's defeat alone in the future.
Lin Feng immediately continued: "Previously, our dynasty destroyed Fujian, and it was a perfect achievement, but it was finally unfinished. In the eyes of me, there was nothing else. Our dynasty never regarded the land of other countries as the land of our country, and had not made plans for long-term possession. Looking at all dynasties, no one who treated the newly occupied land with harsh policies could end well! In the future, if our Tang Dynasty was determined to be the world, we would not be able to treat the newly entered land. First, I requested the policy of the newly occupied land, starting from the State of Chu, to pacify the country, reduce taxes and rents, and to safeguard the world!"
The Southern Tang war against Fujian and Chu within five years, the Southern Tang ended with victory first and then defeat. "The Fujian territory was judged to Huan and became a delayed army; Hunan and Xiang were determined to change again, and the land was not increased, and the wealth was not restored." "In less than ten years, the country was consumed half of the country's consumption." The Southern Tang paid a heavy price for this and became a turning point in the power of the Southern Tang Dynasty.
Now, since Lin Feng is here, he must not let the evil consequences of destroying Fujian and Chu be repeated.
Lin Feng's request was a very honest opinion, and it was all for the country, so naturally there was no good reason to refuse. Li Jing pondered for a moment and immediately agreed.
Lin Feng did not pursue it again and again. In fact, in Lin Feng's plan, tax reduction should be announced as a national policy of the Southern Tang Dynasty and made it public. However, it is already a rare thing for Li Jing to open a golden mouth to agree to implement it from the State of Chu.
"I would like to ask Your Majesty for permission. If you discover reliable and trustworthy businessmen from the private sector through the initial operation of supermarkets and banks and the application of Shangjue Law, please allow Your Majesty to allow you to use the future mines and Lin Ze's income as collateral to let him be responsible for food, grass and weapons transportation!" Lin Feng then explained his own commercial military construction plan steps.
"Lin Aiqing, when will the supermarket be launched? Where is the bank?" Li Jing asked without directly answering.
"The main supermarket building is about to be completed, but considering the internal decoration, goods preparation, clerk training and other matters, it is expected to open in one month. If negotiations stop, the bank will also open at the same time." Lin Feng bowed and replied.
"How is the banking industry ready to operate?" Li Jing was obviously very interested in the bank and continued to ask.
Lin Feng did not directly answer, and first threw out his theory about a country's life cycle following the development path of "trade-industry-finance", which made Li Jing and Li Jing shocked again, and subconsciously realized the importance of banking business three points again.
"Weichen plans to use three million guan as the initial shares and supermarkets as the first business pilot. At the same time, in the whole city of Jinling, the construction of major prefectures and prefectures in the entire territory will be fully launched. Banking business will first start from simple deposits and withdrawals from other places, then guaranteed loans, and then withdraw money from the people in zero deposits, and finally develop into the main platform and weapon for future financial wars!" At this point, Lin Feng, regardless of whether the two could understand it, he directly piled up a lot of nouns. He wanted to instill a consciousness in the subconscious of these two monarchs and ministers: the banking industry is a very profound knowledge, and most people should not easily rush into it.
Starting from three million yuan, Li Jing and Li Jingsui began to stare. The Southern Tang Dynasty was known to be strong and the annual income was only seven million yuan. After that, a large number of strange nouns made the two look at each other and they were a little afraid to interfere. In Li Jing's subconscious, he really had the idea of nationalizing the bank.
Lin Feng saw the two of them and knew that his intimidation had played a certain role. He immediately continued to talk along the original idea: "Weichen always suggested that banking business be established by private merchants. The ultimate goal is to help and pave the way for the future pacification of the country. Weichen also thought that the banking industry was all hosted by me, Tang, but he was afraid that in this way, when banks enter other countries, they will be blocked or even banned by other countries, and we will definitely not deserve the loss."
Lin Feng's intention is also very simple, that is, he must not let banks become a tool for Li Jing, or even some powerful ministers to seek personal gain to harm the country.
"Lin Aiqing is very considerate, but if my dynasty cannot control such a critical business, it is probably not good for the future." Li Jing certainly did not give up and continued.
"It's very simple. Weichen's suggestion is to find an agent!" Lin Feng then expressed his solution.
The new term "agent?" immediately made Li Jing feel a little confused.
"Yes, an agent can also be called a broker or authorized representative, which means that the court secretly contributes funds, and then secretly finds a honest and fair businessman with a reliable character, participates in the bank in his name, and ensures that he becomes the bank's shareholder. In this way, it can not only ensure that I Tang controls the bank, but also avoid hostility from other countries." Lin Feng talked happily.
At this time, Li Jingsui suddenly interrupted: "Will the name of the bank shareholder be announced to the outside world?"
"Of course not, it will be listed as the highest secret of the bank. However, on the surface, some wealthy businessmen on the market should be introduced as a guise." Lin Feng explained. In Lin Feng's view, the composition of bank shareholders is even more innocent and transparent, and others will make no reason to speculate, so it would be better to make a pot of mixed water from the beginning.
"Your Majesty, I suggest that Lin Feng be the agent." Li Jing bowed to Li Jing and said. His consideration was that he was very good at making small abacus. This agent was crucial. If you look for small wealthy businessmen, you won't believe it, and you dare not trust it. If you look for wealthy businessmen in the country, it is easy to lose control and reveal your feelings. In terms of banking business, no one is more familiar with Lin Feng than the advocate Lin Feng. Besides, Lin Feng is alone and has no deep foundation and thousands of relationships in the local area, so it is naturally easier to control the future.
Li Jing's eyes lit up immediately when he heard this and he stared at Lin Feng.
Lin Feng was stunned on the surface and did not respond, but was ecstatic in his heart. You don’t understand the extreme importance of the bank’s future and you easily want to give your voice to yourself. At least your capital for self-rescue will naturally be more sufficient in the future.
This topic did not go deeper. Lin Feng then talked about his idea of the source of stocks: the court invested 1 million guan, Zhou Zong invested 500,000 guan, and other merchants collected 1.5 million guan, so that the court could occupy the majority. If the shares were expanded in the future, the court had the right to invest priority funds and purchase new shares at a discounted and low price, which could ensure that it would continue to occupy the largest shareholder.
