Some wars and conflicts on the border did not have much impact on the Great Xia Empire, and now the national strength of the Great Xia Empire has been restored, although it has only been more than a year, but the Great Xia Empire has been supported by the people in the newly occupied areas, which mainly comes from the successful implementation of the policy of the Great Xia Empire, and now the newly formed legions of the Great Xia Empire have begun to take shape, and the indemnity of the Great Song Empire has been fully delivered, which makes the treasury of the Great Xia Empire very full.
And because the Great Xia Empire could dump the innocent salt to the Great Song Dynasty, the Great Xia merchants led by the Longtai Commercial House rushed the high-quality innocent salt into the Great Song Dynasty market at a very low price, which caused great losses to the salt industry of the Great Song Dynasty, and the biggest profit was the Great Xia royal family, and now the Longtai Commercial Bank has reached full development, and its commercial branches are all over the world, involving all walks of life, and a large amount of wealth flows into Li Liangzuo's pocket every day; Li Liangzuo doesn't even know how much money he has.
Xingqing Mansion, inside the summer palace.
Li Liangzuo looked at a map of the Guannai and asked the little Fuzi who was waiting by his side, "Fuzi, how much money is still in my inner library now?"
"Your Majesty, this minion has to check the specific list to know."
Xiaofuzi said to Li Liangzuo.
Li Liangzuo said very unhappily: "As the head of my inner house, you don't even know how much money is in my inner treasury, what else do I want you to do?"
"Your Majesty's atonement is really because the income is too big, and it changes every day, so the slave can't remember it clearly."
Xiao Fuzi hurriedly knelt on the ground and said to Li Liangzuo.
Li Liangzuo looked at the trembling little Fuzi and scolded: "Don't kneel, why don't you go and check how much money is in my inner library."
"Yes, Servant Command."
Xiaofuzi crawled away.
"Someone is here to call me for Zhou Shengcai."
"Yes."
Soon Zhou Shengcai came to the imperial study, and Li Liangzuo asked Zhou Shengcai: "Zhou Aiqing, how much money is still in the treasury now?"
"Your Majesty, the treasury now has three million gold coins, seven million silver coins, and eighty million copper coins, as well as silk, silk, cloth, and more than 10,000,000 stones of grain and grass stored in granaries in various places."
In order to be more suitable for the development of commerce, the Great Xia Empire has carried out currency reform, all gold and silver are not allowed to circulate, only gold coins, silver coins, and copper coins are allowed to circulate, in fact, one gold coin is equal to ten silver coins, one silver coin is equal to consistent money, and consistent money is equal to one thousand copper coins; Under the influence of the Great Xia Empire, at this time, the Song and Liao countries were also imitating the Great Xia Empire to carry out currency reform.
"That's not right," Li Liangzuo said; "The compensation of the Great Song Dynasty and the Liao State is several times that of these, why is this only the only thing left now."
"Your Majesty, it's good to be able to leave these, now the military expenses of the newly formed corps and government soldiers, the infrastructure construction carried out by the imperial court in various places, plus the salaries of officials, as well as last year's disaster relief, each of these items is a large amount of money to go out of the silver, Your Majesty has exempted agricultural taxes for three years in Longxi, Guanzhong, Hanoi, Hedong, Hebei, and Hanzhong, and now these places are all supported by the imperial court, if it is not supported by salt tax and commercial tax, I am afraid that it will not last for three years" Zhou Shengcai complained to Li Liangzuo.
Li Liangzuo didn't expect that he got so much money from the Great Song Dynasty and it was still not enough to spend, Zhou Shengcai said to Li Liangzuo: "Your Majesty, if Your Majesty can take out the right to issue banknotes from Longtai Commercial Bank and hand it over to the Finance Department, Wechen promises to at least double the treasury silver in the treasury within a month." ” In fact, Zhou Shengcai has long coveted Longtai Commercial Bank, Longtai Commercial Bank was first established by Zhou Shengcai in accordance with Li Liangzuo's will, and then after Zhou Shengcai served as the financial director, it is not suitable to serve as the general manager of Longtai Commercial Bank, so Li Liangzuo handed over the Longtai Commercial Bank, which has been on the right track, to the management of Xiaofuzi, the head of internal affairs, and Li Liangzuo is not particularly clear about the situation of Longtai Commercial Bank.
It didn't take long for Xiao Fuzi to walk in with a stack of account books and report to Li Liangzuo: "Your Majesty, according to the rough estimate of the minions, there are now more than 10 million gold coins, more than 80 million silver coins, more than 67 million copper coins, more than 4 million silk horses, and restaurants, pawnshops, money numbers, brothels, casinos, manors, and land."
"Stop" Xiaofuzi hadn't finished reading, and Li Liangzuo shouted loudly to stop; "These are my private property."
"Yes, Your Majesty, and Your Majesty's inner treasury is increasing every day," said Xiao Fuzi.
Li Liangzuo was a little ecstatic and said, "When did I have so much money." ” "Your Majesty, now Longtai Commercial Bank has spread all over the world, whether it is Xia, Song, Liao, or the Western Regions have the branch of Longtai Commercial Bank, in addition, Longtai Commercial Bank also issued paper money in accordance with His Majesty's will, basically monopolized the salt industry of the Great Song Dynasty and Liao; The caravan of Longtai Commercial House has increased to more than 300, including horse teams and ship fleets, and we also have a large number of shipyards in Quanzhou, Guangzhou and other places in the Great Song Dynasty, and a large number of merchant ships are launched every day to join the maritime trade."
Xiaofuzi introduced the development of Longtai Commercial Bank to Li Liangzuo in detail, Li Liangzuo did not expect that Longtai Commercial Bank has developed to such a point, has penetrated into all aspects of the people of the world, Longtai Commercial Bank has become the trust of this era, and has formed a monopoly for many industries, of course, such development is inseparable from Li Liangzuo's support; In fact, many of the industries under the command of Longtai Commercial Bank are not necessarily under this name, and Longtai Commercial Bank is just a general term.
"So, I'm already a rich country, right" Li Liangzuo felt a little wrong after saying this, so he said again: "Why is this so awkward?"
"Your Majesty, Weichen has something I want to report to Your Majesty."
Zhou Shengcai said to Li Liangzuo.
"Tell me something" "Your Majesty, Weichen knows that now Longtai Commercial Bank has the right to issue banknotes, such as today's popular banknotes, the name of the Huayuan banknote is the strongest, and it is the most trusted by the people in the world, especially in my Great Xia Empire, Huayuan has been deeply involved in all aspects of the people's lives, what Weichen means is that you should hand over the banknote issuance rights of Longtai Commercial Bank to the Finance Department" Zhou Shengcai asked tentatively.
Before Li Liangzuo could speak, Xiao Fuzi immediately opened his mouth and objected: "Your Majesty, no, never; The right to issue this banknote is a major income of the Inner Treasury, and every year the printing of banknotes alone can bring a large amount of real money to His Majesty, and His Majesty must not hand over the right to issue banknotes."
The right to issue banknotes is a major event related to the world, not just printing paper, once too much banknotes are issued, it will cause inflation, and then cause prices to soar, and the people are not happy; Once such a situation occurs, it will cause social unrest; After careful consideration, Li Liangzuo said to Zhou Shengcai and Xiaofuzi: "I can hand over the right to issue banknotes to the Finance Department, but the issuance of banknotes must be approved by me, and paper money must not be issued indiscriminately without my will." ” "Yes, Wechen understands."
Zhou Shengcai said excitedly.
