Chapter 1981 Buy Yourself
Li Shen picked up the teacup and took a sip. He felt very happy in his heart. The trick of drawing a pie in the sky was also so useful in ancient times.
Qi Leshan was fed with just two large pancakes, and he looked very full.
Li Shen didn't think he was good at making promises. If we talk about the best, who can compare with the founding emperors of all dynasties?
The mere words that he will be granted the title of nobility or prime minister in the near future can make countless people follow him through life and death.
But among those who survived in the end, how many of them could be granted titles of nobility and become prime ministers?
After the war, those soldiers continued to live their lives as before, except that they had a new master.
"Your Highness, I have something to report." Qi Leshan said after sitting down.
"what's up?"
"Your Majesty, Shopkeeper Wang once said that Your Majesty wants to exchange money throughout the world. Currently, our bank only has business in Qinghai Road, Chang'an City, and Luoyang.
Some merchants asked when they could open a bank in their hometown.
Currently, the money house of Prince Ji’s Mansion has only opened business in three locations and no other places.
Li Shen shook his head after hearing this.
"Don't worry about this. I am also preparing for it, but there are many drawbacks in it, and we can't solve them now."
"Your Highness, there is a lot of flying money from all over the country now, and it is all taken by the government or the army. This is a huge amount of money."
Qi Leshan reminded.
“I know this, but we are different from them. They are only responsible for one line, from the local area to Chang’an City. They don’t do anything else.
What we want to do is to make money available to the whole world, and the human, material and financial resources required are too great.”
Li Shen didn't really have any good solution. Without the Internet, this thing was too complicated. He was not a genius, and there were things he didn't understand.
Everything depends on his own imagination.
"Your Highness, there is one more thing. Should we increase our flying money handling fee?" Qi Leshan said again.
"What is the handling fee for flying money? How much is it now?" Li Shen was stunned.
"Your Highness, the current handling fee is 5% per thousand. We only charge 5% per thousand.
There is not much money left after transporting back from Qinghai Road, and even less in Luoyang, where we can only take two out of a thousand." Qi Leshan also reported.
"Not making money?" Li Shen asked puzzledly.
"Your Highness, it's not very profitable. Local agencies charge a 10% handling fee for flying money. They charge 100 strings of cash for every 1,000 strings of cash, but we only charge 5 strings of cash for every 1,000 strings of cash." Qi Leshan explained.
"Such a big difference?" Li Shen was also a little surprised. "Why is the price so low? How did Wang Hongfu set the price? What does he do for a living?"
"This...this was decided by the prince himself." Qi Leshan said carefully.
"Really~~? How come I have no impression of it?" Li Shen was a little embarrassed. He had no impression of it at all. He was a hands-off boss who usually didn't take care of things.
Seeing Qi Leshan's determined eyes, Li Shen accepted the reality he had set.
Li Shen thought about it and realized that if he raised the price directly, many people would be dissatisfied, and it would not be good for his reputation.
After thinking for a moment, Li Shen clapped his hands:
"Okay, we can do this. We can announce to the public that the Tang Central Bank has been acquired by the Tang Empire Central Bank and officially changed its name to the Tang Empire Central Bank.
All business remains unchanged and will continue to be handled by the Central Bank of the Tang Empire.
However, the handling fee for the flight fee needs to be changed. The local government charges 10%, and we charge half. What do you think?"
Li Shen quickly found an excuse for the price increase. If all else fails, just change the name. It’s such a simple thing.
If someone has doubts, I can just make a contract, buy it for 10 million guan, and then take out another 10 million guan from the bank.
By then, the bank will have 10 million deposited into its account, and I won’t have spent a penny. It’s absolutely perfect.
Li Shen was full of admiration for his own intelligence and talent.
Qi Leshan was completely confused. Was the bank acquired? Was the bank sold to increase the price?
But where did this Tang Empire Central Bank come from? What does a bank mean?
Qi Leshan, with a head full of questions, couldn't help but ask:
"Your Majesty, this Central Bank of the Tang Empire..."
"Oh, this bank means money house, and silver refers to money." Li Shen explained.
"Then why not use gold? Gold is more valuable." Qi Leshan asked puzzled.
"Jinhang?" Li Shen was stunned. Yes, why must we call it a bank? Can't we call it a Jinhang? But Li Shen was used to calling it a Jinhang. It was a bit out of place to call it a Jinhang.
"This gold shop is not as easy to pronounce as bank, so let's just call it bank." Li Shen made up an excuse.
"But Your Majesty, I have never heard of the Central Bank of the Tang Empire."
"Of course you haven't heard of it, and I haven't heard of it before today either." Li Shen rolled his eyes.
"Well... this..."
"Tomorrow I will ask Wang Hongfu to go to Wannian County to get a certificate, and the Tang Dynasty Chamber of Commerce will also issue a license.
When the time comes, you will change the plaque and become the treasurer of the Central Bank of the Tang Empire."
Li Shen said lightly.
"Ah?" Qi Leshan was stunned. Do it now. In order to increase the handling fee, he opened another bank and acquired himself.
Prince Ji is really good at having fun.
Seeing Qi Leshan's surprise, Li Shen waved his hand:
"Don't worry about it, nothing has changed, just do what you did before.
By the way, are there any problems with the flying money? "
After hearing Li Shen's question, Qi Leshan came back to his senses and quickly replied:
"Your Highness, there was no problem with the flying money, and the approach we took was the same as that used in other places.
Merchants deposit money in banks and set a place and time to withdraw the money.
It is exchanged with a road pass and a flying money receipt. The most important thing here is that the paper of our flying money receipt is quite special and difficult to imitate.
Plus, we still have to review the final voucher before we can withdraw the money.”
Li Shen's flying money model is actually imitating other people's models. Since they don't make mistakes, he may not make mistakes either.
The key point is the problem of bill counterfeiting and money management.
Flying money is different from depositing money. Deposited money cannot be exchanged at present, even if Li Shen designed the passbook.
Li Shen didn't understand bank management. His experience came from the cashier. If passbooks could be exchanged, there would be no need to use flying money.
He was afraid of being cheated and deceived by others. He had too many enemies, so he acted very cautiously.
"Don't worry, I will definitely be able to make money for the whole world. Now is the time for us to accumulate experience.
By the way, the money houses in Qinghai Road and Luoyang also need to change their names. From now on, we will be called the Central Bank of the Tang Empire.
Also, don’t leave too much money in Qinghai Road. Have someone calculate the amount to be used, and ship the rest back to Chang’an. It’s too chaotic over there, and I’m worried about it.”
(I read in Tang Hui Yao that the handling fee for flying money is between 1% and 10%, calculated based on the distance.
I also saw someone's previous comment that Feiqian has loopholes.
Maybe what I wrote is not comprehensive, but if it follows the model of flying money at that time, there are almost no loopholes.
According to the Tang Hui Yao, merchants would give money to the office in Chang'an City, or to the royal family, or to a non-governmental organization, and then a certificate would be issued.
Merchants can take the certificate to local offices to withdraw money. It is even simpler than what I wrote.
They will set up offices in many places. This method is called the joint number system and can be checked.
Don't underestimate the wisdom of the ancients. They should have been able to think of what we think of.
Like you, I think it’s a bit complicated.
This is what flying money looks like. The information I found is not clear enough. I will draw the back for you in two days.
