After Wu Hai made this deal with his cousin, he went over there to report it to Li Cong. Li Cong smiled. The price was okay, but the real money was in Li Cong's pocket.

It was impossible to ask this guy to take out his wallet, but these things are now necessary in the army. Li Cong smiled and said a few words in Wu Hai's ear, but no one wanted to

I knew what the words were, but Wu Hai's eyes were so full of smiles that he kept saying "Thank you, Your Majesty, Thank you, Your Majesty" and the like. I really couldn't tell what this guy meant. Anyway, when this guy left, he could

I was in such a hurry that I bumped into several people in my panic. This caused a scene for everyone in the room. They all wanted to go up and ask what was going on. Most of them knew from Wu Hai that it must be Lu Xi.

Did Li Cong have the ability to directly eat so many horses? Li Cong's financial resources are also a bit amazing. You know, the New Army only spent so much money to build the empire, and Li Cong spent the rest of the money.

The treasury paid out from itself, but the treasury also issued an IOU, but the empire has said it first, and the treasury will not be reimbursed for the part of the budget. Otherwise, the annual fiscal revenue of more than 30 billion gold coins may not be enough for Li Cong to spend so much.

What about? Good guy, an army of three million people can eat more than an army of tens of millions. The salary is so large that it will scare people to death. There are many people with an annual salary of 1,000 gold coins. The salary alone is several billion gold coins every year.

Not counting other things, if this were to be supported by the empire's finances, the entire finances might go bankrupt in a few days. Although Li Cong has made a lot of money recently, he can't just spend money so generously.

The cost of the new army is not a small amount, and now many people are starting to play 99.<-》

Although many people have ideas, these people have no connections. Now everyone is holding a cup and going to drink with Lu Xi. This guy is so lucky. This guy who was definitely going to die, this whole thing

The whole family may be weakened because of this money. Who knew that this boy could survive like that? Why doesn't he have such a good cousin? Look at his cousins, all of them are proficient in eating, drinking and having fun.

, when it comes to serious things, everyone’s tongue is crooked, and if you can’t do any serious things, your life is not as good as this kid.

Lu Xi drank half a kilogram of wine in a short time. This guy's drinking capacity is very strong, but he just couldn't hold on to drinking like this for a while. But at this time, luckily Wu Hai came over and took this guy

Pull him out, otherwise Lu Xi may die in alcohol today. The eldest son of the only duke in the empire would die like this, which may surprise the people of the entire empire. No one knows Wu Hai

What did I say to Lucy? I just knew that this kid started drinking heavily after he came back. It seemed that he had never thought that such a good thing would happen. It was not until a month after today's banquet that the secret was revealed. This

Lu Xi not only gave all the horses he had to the New Army, but another profit point was that this guy did not charge Li Cong a single gold coin, but used Li Cong's goods to pay for the price. The last batch

When the goods were sold, not only was all the banker's money repaid, but there was also a profit of less than one million gold coins. If someone said it, they felt that the profit of one million gold coins was too small. It was not interesting at all.

, but this kid is going to face a loss of hundreds of millions of gold coins. Now he doesn’t need to pay out a single gold coin. On the contrary, he can still get 100 million gold coins into his account. This is already a pretty good thing. Many people have not thought of this.

This guy would have such a result. Another point is that after many people knew that Li Cong had taken his horse, they more or less dared to offend this guy.

The banquet was still going on. The second prince and the other princes said a few auspicious words while they were waiting for the old lady to come out. They had been humiliated enough today, so they had no intention of staying here any longer.

I mean, the relationship between a few people and Li Cong has just been established. When they saw Li Cong's proud smile when they went out, they felt very uncomfortable. Speaking of which, they are the most noble people in the empire.

, the boy who was not very prominent a few months ago has now become the most powerful person in the empire. This is really unimaginable. Many people don’t know what to say, but now the general situation is that they don’t care.

How did someone get up? Don’t we all pay attention to speaking with facts now? Don’t worry about what they did before. Anyway, they are now the first prince. If you are the prince, they may still let you. After all, you are the future prince of the country.

, but it is completely different now. Although you are all princes, on the surface, your names are not as good as that of a prince. Even if you all add up, it is useless. The prince is the prince, and the prince is the prince.

The gap between them is really too big.

There are many reasons for the dissatisfaction between the second prince and Li Cong. Another one is the problem of Huaxia Bank that has emerged recently. This thing has never appeared before, but it has suddenly appeared in recent months.

The place is also the best place on Qianmen Street. The second prince also asked someone to find out. The fifteen shops there are all for the little princess's dowry. It would be very unreasonable for him to have such an idea about his sister's dowry.

I have to hang out in the Imperial Capital in the future, and I can't do this. I originally thought it was the little princess who made it up by herself, but who knows that this matter is getting worse and worse. Now there are at least three people in the Imperial Capital Bank.

One out of every 10 banks can no longer survive. The money they have in their own hands cannot be released. This is not for good things. More than half of the banks have entered a state of half-death, and they are basically busy working in vain every month.

This Huaxia Bank is very well run. It has released tens of billions of gold coins in a month. You know, it can be returned with a profit of 40% after a year. This money makes money.

It is always the most profitable. Several princes used to control the most profitable business in the imperial capital, but now someone has reached out. Although it seems to be their little sister, in fact everyone knows that

This thing is Li Cong's business. Speaking of Li Cong, the brothers are gnashing their teeth now, but there is nothing they can do to this kid.

"Damn, this damn Huaxia Bank has caused us brothers to lose a lot. In the past, the monthly interest was only a million gold coins. Now it's better. In one month, hundreds of thousands of gold coins are gone.

, these damn guys all know that the interest rate there is 40%, and they all go there one by one. In fact, why don’t those fools understand? Although our interest rate is higher, we can pay according to the natural conditions.

I came to calculate with them. These bastards will have to pay back a year's interest in one go. How much of an advantage do they think they have taken?" On the way back, I passed by a Hua Xia Bank. In this era, many people have no idea of ​​opening a branch.

Yes, when Li Cong opened Huaxia Bank, he opened twelve branches all over the city. The twelve branches were all located in very good locations, so they attracted the attention of the people in the city as soon as they opened.

"Haha, second brother, I'm not talking about you. We are all princes. It's better to pay less attention to these business matters. Although money is very important, the most important thing for us is not the money issue.

, if the second brother keeps looking at the money issue, something will happen. We princes all have our own financial resources. Although the bank is a big source of income, we can't take it so seriously. We can't follow

Like that guy Lu Xi, he has become the laughing stock of the people in the entire imperial capital. Nobles are nobility and cannot be treated like ordinary businessmen. Only those non-genuine nobles in the Southern Empire will take business matters so seriously." Emperor Si

Zi smiled and said, their princes are more concerned about money, but it is still easy for them to make some money from business, so they don't care much if the bank's business is lost. After all, this thing is very important to them.

It can be considered dispensable.

If someone else had reprimanded the second emperor like this, he would have passed away long ago. However, the fourth prince has always been a less prominent figure under the guise. But this time after the prince was deposed, the fourth prince suddenly suddenly

He became the leading figure among the entire princes. Whether in the court or under the court, this guy's connections were astonishing. No one knew that this guy who usually seemed to be smiling could be so big.

The second prince just smiled and said nothing. This brother has been different since he was a child. This guy will only smile well at you if he hates you. In the past, this family

Hui smiled brightly at the prince. What happened to the prince? Although he did not die in the hands of this guy, he still had a certain connection with this guy. The relationship between the prince and him at that time was still okay. He wanted to rebel.

He helped because he knew that the prince would definitely fail, but instead of persuading the prince not to continue, this guy helped the prince with a lot of preparations, and in the end, the prince had nothing left.

"Fourth brother, don't you always say that the economy may affect the direction of a country? Didn't we also think about leaving the financial industry of the imperial capital in our own hands? If there was no Huaxia Bank, maybe we would

Maybe he has already done it?" Ever since the Queen's Wu Ya clan was unlucky, up to now, this guy is still in the mediocre stage. In the past, they said that if the prince was finished, this boy would definitely become the prince.

It is a pity that this boy not only did not become the prince, but was disgusted by His Majesty the Emperor. After the establishment of the Prince Alliance, this boy showed up again. It seems that this boy is the most successful in the entire alliance.

Huanshi looks like a harmless person, but in fact, this guy has a lot of evil intentions in his mind. The fourth prince also knows that if someone competes with him for that position, this guy will definitely be a formidable enemy.

"Seventh brother, you underestimate the economy of this country. There are billions of people in our empire. Now that we have conquered the savages, there are so many more places. There are too many different people and things.

, Don’t talk about us, even the father dare not say that he can control our country’s economy. First, how many gold coins can we mobilize? How many gold coins are in Li Cong’s hands? These are not things we can decide. There are many

Nowadays, this money can determine big things. A few days ago, I heard Li Cong say that being an official for thousands of miles is just for wealth. In the past, many of us may not agree with this sentence, but now

Thinking about it, this thing should be good. You see, many nobles among us have lost their power now. They just have a name. What are they worried about now? It is not something in the court at all. It may be for

If they are worried about their own three meals a day, they will try their best to make money for themselves, just like us brothers. We are princes now. To be disrespectful, if our father passes away, most of us will become

Princes and princes. The most unfavorable thing is a duke. Our life should be okay, and our son's life should be okay, but what about two or three generations later? Our descendants may not have a prince by that time, they are all

Duke, at that time they will enter a relatively embarrassing period, because they are too outstanding. The emperor at that time will be suspicious of them and will not give them a chance to succeed. If they are not outstanding, the expenses of the whole family will be a problem.

, maybe you will say that the imperial court has to give them tens of thousands of gold coins for food every year, but you have to think that they are not ordinary people, who will be happy for a long time with just one gold coin. They are the sons and grandsons of dragons, and it is impossible for them to do that for

They are happy with a little money. All of them came out of the wealthy villages with a silver spoon in their mouths. They do not want to live the life of ordinary people. They all want to live the life of wealth.

Just like we say that some of our children of the same generation have to lose face when they have no money. The same is true for our children and grandchildren at that time. If we leave some business for them at this time, business that can make money. Maybe it will be

It's different. Even if they all fall, they can still have a good life. The title will change, and the money will still be money for him, haha. This is far from what I want to say.

If we really fight together, we won't have the advantage." The fourth prince also came to this realization recently. In the past, he didn't understand many things very well, but recently he understood it from Li Cong's words.

"Hmph, then Li Bong just sells some tea perfume. Those things are not what ordinary people eat every day. In other words, the nobles can have some use. Although they make a lot of money, they don't have much.

We are different. We have the largest supply of grain and cloth in the empire. This is the most profitable business. At least 500 million people in the entire empire are waiting for our food to eat and our cloth to make clothes." The Emperor said.

The second son said disdainfully, when it comes to money, this kid is really a little bit pessimistic. Apart from anything else, if the horses in Lu Xi's hands are handed over to them, they will pay people's bills with food, and they won't beat people to death.

Yes, they have no place to put these billions of gold coins in food. If it is not stored well, nothing will be left when it rains. This tea and perfume are different. Billions of gold coins in food.

There isn't much cargo, so a slightly larger cargo hold can accommodate it.

"Second brother, this is your fault. As far as I know, Li Cong's business is really good. Although our grain, oil and cloth business occupies a relatively large market, our profits are only a few percent every year.

There are only one billion gold coins. This thing is huge in quantity, but the profit is not very high. It is normal for the tea produced by Li Cong to be sold for 100,000 gold coins per kilogram. His cost is about 40,000 gold coins at most. Now, all of a sudden

As for the 50% profit, this is not the most important. The most important thing is that there are more people selling food in the entire empire. Although they are not as strong as us, they are also doing this business. We are just better than others.

It's just a little bigger, but Li Cong is different there. Look, the things he sells are simply not something we can produce. Didn't we ask our people to study those things for a long time? It's a pity.

The best thing is that we can't seem to make it, especially the perfume. Let alone the glass bottle, we are beyond our reach." The seventh prince knew the most about Li Cong. Originally, he knew Li Cong at the time.

I also wanted to win over Li Cong from time to time, but what can Li Cong say to you, a passing prince? Speaking of hating Li Cong, this guy also has the most hatred.

"Lao Qi is right. In the past, we still had our own position in the imperial capital's bank. Now it seems that we are not as good as this Chinese bank. It is because of our disunity that the money in this bank is

They all look like our own, and we only use a lot of them every year." The third prince has been silent. This guy is not very famous in the royal family, and his mother is not very prominent, so good things don't happen to him.

Boy, the bank was managed by his men in the past, but the princes here often asked people to withdraw some money when they ran out of money. Until now, these people are the ones who owe the most money, but

Is it possible to force debts from them? It seems impossible. Today, it is just a matter of resentment.

"Third brother, what do you mean? Why do I feel that you are so angry? Yes, brother, I have borrowed a lot of money, but it's not like I won't give you an IOU. Besides, the bank also has my shares.

When I spend my own money, do I still have to pay interest to you?" The second emperor immediately became unhappy. Although all of them have debts, the boss of the Prince Alliance has the most debts.

Yes, this guy owes a debt of tens of millions of gold coins. You want to ask him to pay back the money? There is no drama at all. This guy just opens his mouth and uses my dividends. Their bank has one billion gold coins.

The scale of this is still jointly run by dozens of people. The profit for a year is 500-600 million gold coins, but it would be good to have 200 million gold coins left after all the expenses. It can be divided among the emperor and the second son.

At most 10 million gold coins. If the money he took also had interest, the kid would probably have to pay back the money in dividends for decades. Several other people also have debts. I heard the third child say that

, although they are not as angry as the second child, but their eyes are full of dissatisfaction. Now they have to go up and argue with the third child, what's wrong with spending some of their own money?

Yes.

"No, second brother, how could I talk like that? We brothers can naturally use it casually, but the younger ones. There are also those princes and princes in the palace who also came out to share a share of the pie with us.

Isn't this a bit too much? These guys are of no use at all in normal times. These people are just like parasites. They are all counting on the shares that their ancestors bought in, just like An

He is like a county king. In the early years, who could have seen that he was a prince? Who in the imperial capital can buy his account? What a good guy, he is so great now that he has followed Li Cong. We will treat people like this

We should kick him out of our bank. He didn’t earn a lot of money in the first place. When the bank was established, his grandfather got 1% of the shares after paying out 5,000 gold coins. Such a person can earn two per cent.
