Chang'an, there was a curfew almost. Li Xiaogong walked into Cheng's mansion and looked at Cheng Yaojin and said, "I just heard that there was a lot of lively in front of your Cheng family. Why did your Cheng family have a daughter-in-law again?"

Cheng Yaojin pointed to the two Xuanhua big axes on the side and said, "That kid Gu Qing has sent the axe back to me."

"Good thing." Li Xiaogong said: "Tell me, that boy Gu Qing is really good. He gave an axe and prepared such a big scene, for fear that the people in Chang'an City would not know."

Speaking of this, Cheng Yaojin's face turned pale again, "I have spent a lot of money on it."

Li Xiaogong held back his smile and said, "It's good that the axe is back."

Although Li Xiaogong held back his smile, Cheng Yaojin still said uncomfortable, "What, do you think I'm getting cheap?"

"I don't think so, but this time I saw you, an old man, be cured by Gu Qing, and I felt particularly happy."

“…”

Li Xiaogong comforted Cheng Yaojin again and said, "Look at Gu Qing's face has given you? Is it true that two axes have sent back so respectfully, and how much glory has the Cheng family's storefront increased. But that little fox Gu Qing never does anything cheap. It's a bad fate that you, Cheng Yaojin, the demon king of the world, can meet Gu Qing, the cunning little fox."

"Misfortune fate!" Cheng Yaojin shook his head when he heard this.

"Gu Qing is also guarding against you. He knows that Cheng Yaojin is not easy to deal with. If the money shop wants to operate, it requires a lot of money. My son Li Chongyi is in the money shop. Do you know how much money the money the money shop has to take out in a day and how much money it brings in."

"How many?" Cheng Yaojin asked curiously.

"I also heard from my son that if it is not counted as the money brought in by your Cheng family, it is more than three times the amount taken out." Li Xiaogong touched his chin.

Cheng Yaojin also thought and said, "Wouldn't that be less and less as I get, can I still get back my money?"

"Don't be anxious!" Li Xiaogong said again: "If I can't make money, I will not let that boy Chongyi take all my belongings into the money house."

"What did your son say?" Cheng Yaojin asked.

"Actually it's just a loan for money!" Li Xiaogong whispered: "If you take out 300,000 guan a day, you will lend it out and you will have to pay it back. If the amount is large, you need to mortgage it! If you lend out 300,000 guan, you will have to pay back 300,000 guan next year and interest, which means you can make another money when the money bank lends it out, and your capital remains unchanged."

"What if I don't pay it back?" Cheng Yaojin said.

Li Xiaogong continued: "If you have more than 10,000 guan, you have to mortgage it. Use your deed to mortgage it, and the value of your deed must be worth the price. Once you can't pay it back, your house will be gone."

"Hiss..." Cheng Yaojin took a breath.

"There is one more thing." Li Xiaogong said to Li Xiaogong in a low voice: "This money house has a big plan, which is said to be a plan made by Gu Qing's wife Wu Mei."

"What do you mean?" Cheng Yaojin also asked.

"I can tell you, don't say it out loud. Not many people know about this." Li Xiaogong whispered: "Actually, many things are implemented on the people of Guizhou, but the money house has a business for the royal family!"

"Royal?" Cheng Yaojin was also confused.

It was already night and the city was in a curfew. Li Xiaogong simply planned to live at Cheng Yaojin's house tonight.

Li Xiaogong sat at Cheng Yaojin's house, drinking wine and eating meat, and said, "The royal family can also borrow money from the money house."

"Wait! I'm a little confused." Cheng Yaojin asked again: "You said the royal family can borrow money from the money house? Doesn't the emperor's words make the money house?"

Li Xiaogong swallowed a sip of wine, "Old Cheng, you have seen it all over the years. The things that came out of Gu Qing's hands, factories, sea trade departments, academies, and today's courts are not the final decisions of the emperor alone. The royal family cannot control it, but the court can be supervised, but it is just supervision."

"You said the royal family of this money house cannot control it?" Cheng Yaojin asked.

"That's right!" Li Xiaogong nodded and said, "If the royal family can take charge of the money house, then the money house will be the second treasury, and all the money has been put into the emperor's pocket? My son said that the money house is for the people of Dawn and not for the royal family, so after the boy entered the money house, he immediately broke off his relationship with Li Chengqian, and from then on, the money house has nothing to do with Li Chengqian."

Speaking of this, Li Xiaogong looked a little proud, "Now I hope this kid can do it well and become the head of Chang'an in the future. I am satisfied. At least this kid has the foundation to establish a foothold."

"I still don't understand how the royal family and the money house do business." Cheng Yaojin thought, the kingly people belong to the emperor, so why do they have to do business with the money house?

Li Xiaogong continued: "Li Chengqian needs money to fight foreign wars, and the royal family needs money to do whatever celebrations they want. There are so many places to spend money on the royal family. My son Chongyi calculated that if this Western Expedition, the military pay alone would be hundreds of thousands of chunks."

"I have fought a war, so I naturally understand that, but Yuchi Gong led Gu Qing and others to fight in the Hexi Corridor. After advancing into Tubo, the food and grass in the court were cut off. Now the Tang Dynasty has the barrier of Tubo, and the army can be self-sufficient in Tubo. As long as the Tubo is not lost, the Tang Dynasty can be fearless about Dashi and Persia."

"That's right, fighting such a war requires money." Li Xiaogong said again: "Even if the court does not borrow money from the money house this time, what about the future?"

"Just talking about borrowing, how can the royal family pay it back?" Cheng Yaojin asked.

Asked, Li Xiaogong said again: "The small amount of money the emperor wants to borrow is not a problem, but if it is a large amount, even the emperor will have to mortgage it. And the larger the amount, the greater the mortgage. If there is a need in the future, the emperor will even mortgage a city or hand over the captured territory to the money house."

Hearing this, Cheng Yaojing almost sprayed out the wine that was poured into his mouth, "A city, will this money house rebel?"

"Yes, it's not bad for you to say rebellion. It really tastes like rebellion. It's just that I haven't told the outside world now. If the royal family has money, they can still spend money to redeem the city."

Cheng Yaojin sighed, "This Gu Qing is getting more and more courageous."

"If you don't have to do it, you should also know that the money bank has to do this. If the money bank in the future saves money from all over the world, and the people of the whole world stand behind the money bank, will the royal family dare to do whatever they want?" Li Xiaogong said in a low voice.
