Chapter 233 Li Zhi Saves Money
Li Chengqian used Zhangsun Wuji to do things and also used him to convey some ideas and influence a large number of people.

Difficulty in growth is the most serious problem facing Datang at present.

Stakeholders from all walks of life have discovered that things are looking up in the Tang Dynasty, but their incomes are not seeing much growth.

This also resulted in the court's tax revenue not being able to increase.

Such a phenomenon.

To use professional terminology, it is market saturation.

But is the Datang market really saturated?
No!

Absolutely not!

It's only been a short time, how could it have developed to this point?

Just talk about those who can afford it, they are saturated.

We need to shift our focus from the upper and middle classes to the bottom classes so that we can discover larger markets and boost the economy.

What we need to do is to ensure that people have money in their hands and stimulate consumption.

The original national policy of subsidies was a stimulus measure.

This was also part of the reason for the increase in tax revenue last year.

……

Changsun Wuji left with a thoughtful look.

Li Zhi was still very interested and asked his brother for advice.

"What methods will my uncle use to make the people rich?"

"Massive construction projects may not produce quick results."

"The Ministry of Industry can't accomplish much with a 10 million yuan budget."

Li Chengqian smiled slightly, "Is ten million really ten million?"

"Isn't it?" Li Zhi was puzzled.

"Ten million will cost at least thirty million, or even more."

Seeing that Li Zhi still didn't understand, Li Chengqian had no choice but to say, "If you spend 10 million and only get 10 million of value, then it's a failure."

“Its main purpose is to repair and build official roads.”

"But it can drive the industrial chain in related areas."

Chang Sun Chong asked curiously: "What is the industrial chain?"

Li Zhi also nodded with a questioning look on his face.

"Take Changle's tea as an example."

"Tea fields need to be planted, fertilized, cared for, picked, made, packaged, transported, and sold."

“That’s just part of it.”

"In addition, there are teapots, teacups, and tables for making tea..."

“As long as you drink tea, you can’t do without these things.”

“This is the industrial chain.”

Li Chengqian said: "It can be compared to the repair and construction of official roads."

“You should have thought about what the industrial chain covers, right?”

Li Zhi showed excitement, "Brother, I understand."

Chang Sun Chong curled his lips a little, do you understand now?

Although you are young, you know so much.

"Remember this: as a decision maker in the future, don't look at things so one-sidedly. Look at things from a comprehensive perspective."

Li Chengqian couldn't help but sigh.

After all, it’s Li Zhi.

Thinking ability is a demon.

He understood these words immediately.

As for Chang Sun Chong, he didn't have any expectations at all and just wanted to be honest and do his job.

"I remember."

Li Zhi nodded heavily.

Li Chengqian was thinking about Changsun Wuji.

Can this old fox really understand it?
Another purpose of instilling this idea in him was to draw his attention to the population problem.

Find out all the hidden illegal households.

This is the gentle method that Li Chengqian is currently using. If it works, then it would be fine.

If there is no effect, the current situation will remain.

When he goes on tour this year, he will take action.

……

The Holy Emperor and the Crown Prince are going on a tour.

The schedule has been confirmed, it will be after the ploughing ceremony.

At this point in time, Li Ke's bank took advantage of the momentum and officially launched savings and lending services.

Savings are the key.

The published savings process and regulations are very detailed.

It can be said that it takes all aspects into consideration and eliminates any possibility of loopholes.

You have to take this seriously, because the amount of money involved is too huge, and if you're not careful, a huge amount of money may be lost.

Once it appears.

Li Ke had no way to explain it.

The Tang Empire Newspaper gave this event prominent coverage and publicity, and five other newspapers followed suit and reprinted it.

"Saving money and getting interest back? That's a lie, right?"

"Two percent interest a year. Tsk tsk, that's not the way to fool people."

"That's too fake. Five cents for five years. If I put one million strings of cash in, as long as I don't take it out, won't I have no worries about food and clothing in the future?"

"Is the Holy Emperor sending us money?"

"The Holy Emperor is here, this can't be a lie."

"I'll try to save one."

"Why do you always join in the fun..."

The people of Chang'an think they are knowledgeable and have seen all kinds of tricks.

Want to cheat them out of their money?

That is impossible.

They said they didn't buy it.

Everyone was very cautious, paying close attention and watching how the situation would develop.

In a blink of an eye, the ploughing ceremony was held.

Li Chengqian and his companions are about to leave Chang'an.

At this time, Li Ke came to the door with a bitter face and complained bitterly.

"Brother, the savings situation is really hard to describe."

Li Ke spread his hands in frustration and said, "After so many days, apart from the friendship savings from Changle and Gao Yang, there is not much money left."

“They don’t believe that such a good thing can happen.”

Li Chengqian almost laughed when he heard about friendship savings.

Changle and Gaoyang don't trust banks either.

I saved some of it just for Li Ke's sake.

I'm afraid they are all wondering whether their father and the crown prince set up the bank and are planning to take over their family assets.

In this doubtful situation, neither of the two princesses dared to place a bet, let alone others.

"Hey, Sanlang, you are now a third-rank official at least."

"Why is there nothing you can do about this?"

Li Chengqian teased, "What about your uncle? Did he save any money?" "Yes, but not much."

Li Ke said in a muffled voice.

He can't force his uncle to use all his family assets to support him, right?

"Ha ha!"

Li Chengqian laughed, pointed at Li Ke, and said to Li Zhi: "Zhi Nu, give your third brother some advice."

"If your idea is feasible, I will let you follow me."

"No, just go with His Majesty."

Li Zhi was ambitious and confident and said, "Brother, you said it."

"Yes, I said so."

Li Ke showed a look of surprise, "Chinu has a solution?"

"Third brother, if I help you solve the problem, how about you give me three years and 7% interest?"

Li Zhi showed his fangs and said with a grin, "I just happen to have some money to save."

"Seven cents?"

"You robbed me?"

Li Ke said angrily.

"Just tell me whether you will give it to me or not." Li Zhi said slowly without any hurry.

"You...you are taking advantage of someone's misfortune." Li Ke was speechless. After thinking for a while, he said, "How many are there?"

"Not much, maybe 500,000 strings of cash."

"hiss!"

Chang Sun Chong shouted, "How come you are so rich?"

"Child slave, what dirty things have you done?"

"I only have tens of thousands of guan."

"If you tell the truth, you might get a lighter sentence."

Li Zhi scolded, "Brother Chong, what are you talking about? What does my money have to do with you?"

"Sister has just as much as I do. How many thousand strings of cash do you have? Go ask sister for it."

Chang Sun Chong did not respond, and used his brain to the fullest, looking at Li Zhi, and said: "Zhi Nu, there is definitely something wrong with you."

"Your Highness, check his origins carefully. There must be something wrong."

"It was confiscated from him."

"He is not very old. He has so much money. The adults must take care of him."

Li Zhi: “!@#¥%……&**()”

He is about to curse.

Li Ke said: "Okay, stop making trouble."

"Five hundred thousand strings of cash, three years and seven cents, I accept it."

"But it depends on whether your method works."

"If you try to grab it from me, it will be ineffective, and the five hundred thousand will be confiscated!"

"Yes, it must be confiscated from him." Chang Sun Chong clamored.

Li Zhi glared at Chang Sun Chong, and said confidently, "Brother will be the witness, and he will be the referee."

Li Chengqian smiled and said, "Okay."

"You say." Li Ke said.

"Well, what's the method..."

Li Zhi stretched out the last syllable and said, "Isn't that what happened just now?"

"?"

Li Ke typed a question mark.

Chang Sun Chong gloated: "Zhi Nu, you have lost 500,000 yuan."

"You fart."

Li Zhi gritted his teeth and said, "I am the Prince of Jin, you have to call me Your Highness."

"Ouch?!"

Chang Sun Chong pressed his hands together, making a crackling sound. "Do you want to suffer?"

"You dare!" Li Zhi was furious.

"See if I dare."

Chang Sunchong rushed over and said, "Your Highness, I will interrogate this boy's family background for you."

Li Zhi ran away immediately upon seeing this, for he was afraid of being stunned.

Chang Sun Chong is such a fool.

When there were no outsiders around, Li Zhi was often bullied by the stronger ones.

Li Chengqian did not stop them from making a scene. He looked at Li Ke, took a sip of tea, and said, "Haven't you figured it out yet?"

"Chinu has done it for you to see."

Li Ke hesitated and asked, "Zhi Nu wants me to negotiate the interest with those people?"

"Zhi Nu is a kid who won't release his eagle until he sees the rabbit."

Li Chengqian watched Li Zhi running around the palace with a smile, thinking that when Li Xiang came back, he would also have to join the ranks of military training. "With an interest of 7% on 500,000 yuan, he made a fortune."

"You think those people wouldn't be tempted?"

Li Ke said in embarrassment: "I am a prince and a third-rank official."

“Wouldn’t this have a very bad impact?”

Li Chengqian shook his head, "Everything is difficult at the beginning."

"What you are trying to establish now is the reputation of the imperial court."

“We must break down the barriers of suspicion and gain the trust of the people of the world.”

"You can't catch a wolf without sacrificing a child."

Li Ke pondered for a moment and said, "How about they remain unmoved?"

"Then set a deadline. Only the interest for this year can be negotiated."

Li Chengqian said: "There is a balance between tension and relaxation, alternating between looseness and tightness."

"In this matter, it seems that they are taking the initiative, but in fact, you are Shancai Tongzi, and you are the leader."

Li Ke's eyes lit up, "Brother, I understand."

He immediately shouted, "Chongdi!"

"come over!"

"Something good happened."

Chang Sun Chong laughed and scolded: "You are lucky to run fast. You won't be so lucky next time."

"Chang Sun Chong, wait for me." Li Zhi was out of breath. This chase had consumed a lot of his energy.

"Sanlang, what's the good news?"

Chang Sun Chong sat down and took a sip of tea.

"You said there were tens of thousands of strings of cash, right?"

"Yes."

Li Ke said in a tempting tone: "You have 500,000 yuan, and I will give you 2.5 cents a year."

"I'll give you three cents for anything over a million."

"If it's more than five million, I'll give you 4.5 cents a year."

Li Chengqian was stunned.

Cow!

This is something that can be put into practice immediately. We used Chang Sun Chong as an example to test it.
