Chapter 323 Reciprocate

   On the pitch.

  Although the Royal Salu Purple team has a strong offensive, it is obviously not as good as the Hulei Leopard team in terms of defense. Not only is the Qin family good at attacking, but their defense is also impeccable.

The Qin Family Hulei Leopards are now a star team in the Super League. They have many well-known players, and their performance on the court is indeed excellent. All kinds of extraordinary personal skills and tacit teamwork, the more they play, the more they press down. Sa Lu purple head.

  Li Shimin originally thought that Sa Luzi was the team he personally guided, and the players were composed of outstanding cavalry officers from the Flying Cavalry of the Forbidden Army. They should be able to stabilize the Qin team, but they couldn't win.

   "Why is the Qin family team so good?" Li Shimin asked.

   "Because there is a reward for winning!"

"That's it?"

"This is enough. A good incentive system is very effective. Of course, the premise of all this is to have a good economic foundation. For example, for every goal they score in the league, players can get ten consecutive rewards. The ball player can get five slams, other players can also get three slams, and the goalkeeper can also get 10 slams every time he saves a goal. In addition, there are rewards for good performance in daily training, etc. There are many rewards. This is very costly. Money, if there is no money, it will be difficult to maintain this high fighting spirit."

This is like fighting a war. Whether an army is strong or not depends first on whether it has money or not. Why the imperial court chooses the government soldiers, it must first choose the middle household or above, and it must first look at the financial resources and then the health. Finally, it depends on the number of soldiers. You have to bring your own equipment, and all the middle and upper households with money can guarantee that they are well-equipped.

  The next thing to look at is physical fitness. The last choice for Duo Ding is to choose those who have no worries. After all, if you are an only child, you will definitely have more worries when you go to the battlefield.

   And the imperial court also needs money. The spears, hard crossbows, iron armor, food and grass are all supplied by the imperial court, let alone the construction of siege equipment. How can it not cost money and food?

  Qin Lang has given several lessons in the lecture hall, each time emphasizing the importance of food logistics.

   In a battle, before you actually start the fight, you have to ensure that you have a 70% chance of winning before you start the fight, otherwise it is a risk. Unless someone else is coming to fight you and you have to fight, otherwise, don't start the battle lightly, and don't fight unprepared battles.

  Wars are fought in terms of overall national strength, especially in that kind of national war, where the overall strength is even more competitive. If you have no strength, it is best not to provoke easily.

  Otherwise the consequences are unbearable.

  Li Shimin is an ambitious emperor, but now he has a son-in-law who likes to talk about money, so he gradually has a deeper understanding of the role of money.

   To fight wars, to destroy Liang Shidu, to destroy Turks, and even to restore the Western Regions of the Han Dynasty, and then clean up Goguryeo in the Northeast, and restore Liaodong. These long-term and great goals are inseparable from money.

So now Li Shimin is no longer tempted by Li Jing. He fights wars. He doesn’t have enough money to fight any wars. After all kinds of searching, I barely survived.

  In the end, he had to commit a crime in his later years. Li Shimin envied Han Wu's achievements, but he didn't want to be as embarrassed as Han Wu, so he had to be more prepared than Han Wu.

  Qin Lang often told him to set goals.

Therefore, after repeated consideration, Li Shimin set the goal of destroying Liang Shidu in three years, destroying the Eastern Turks in five years, opening up the Western Regions in eight years, consolidating Tuyuhun in ten years, killing Goguryeo in fifteen years, and standing on Mount Tai in twenty years. On the top, Fengtian Zen Land, like Emperor Qin and Hanwu, stand proudly in the world, and report his great achievements to heaven.

  For this goal, he is working hard.

  In spite of the objections of the ministers, he insisted on establishing the Sixth Army of the Beiya and insisting on training military officers in the Forbidden Garden, all of which were prepared for these goals.

  Recently, Li Shimin has been studying the five surnames and seven families very seriously, because the art of war is well known. And the more he researched, the more shocked he became.

  Thanks to the efficiency of the third division, the intelligence in front of Li Shimin is still very accurate.

In the east and west cities of Chang’an and the current North City of Pingkangfang, there are actually more than ten thousand shops of all sizes, with more than 360 rows of shops, each row has its own rules and regulations, but if you look carefully, you will find that these Commercial firms are actually in the hands of those aristocratic families.

The imperial courts of all dynasties have suppressed business and emphasized agriculture, but in fact, this powerful industrial and commercial power is still very strong, especially in the hands of the gentry, and a large part is in the hands of the Guanlong nobles. The rising Beishi is dominated by Shandong generals headed by Qin Lang.

  Li Shimin discovered that whether it was the Guanlong nobles, the Shandong nobles, the Shandong military nobles, or other powerful nobles, all of them were very rich.

These people are not only big landlords, but also trade in goods. The last time the imperial court banned the hoarding of copper coins, the housing prices in Chang'an immediately doubled. It was all these people who bought, bought, and bought, and even the land prices around Chang'an rose five times. become.

  The lenders are all these guys, and they're all making money.

   This made Li Shimin very upset.

  Compared to the salaries and rewards he gave to noble officials, compared to their money, it is really nothing.

  After Li Shimin figured this out, he was envious and jealous.

  Why do you make money like this?

  So Li Shimin now attaches great importance to Neifang, because the money earned by Neifang is his money, and there is no need to go through the household department and the prime ministers.

  But Neifang has just intervened in a few industries, and as a result, the gentry headed by five surnames and seven families will jump out one after another, saying that a gentleman does not talk about profit, and the emperor should not compete with the people for profit, and the court can't do it either.

   Li Shimin was very disgusted by these words, but there were too many of these guys, so he had to be careful.

  Now he realizes that Qin Lang is much more wild when he acts.

  And he can always find some very tricky angles to attack strongly, or sneak in, but he can quickly bring about decisive changes.

   Not only can this guy make money, but he can also forcefully suppress those people he dislikes.

   Li Shimin even regretted several times that he shouldn't dismiss Qin Lang as prime minister, and even dismissed him from the position of transfer envoy.

  This guy is much better at making money than Dai Zhou.

   Now Li Shimin likes to follow up with Qin Lang. Whatever Qin Lang is doing, he first asks Neifang to follow up, and then asks the Imperial Transit Department to follow up.

  For example, when Qin Lang sells sugar, Li Shimin immediately shamelessly asked Neifang to build a sugar warehouse. He asked Qin Lang for indicators to grab white sugar.

  Essentially, they are all robbing Qin Lang of money.

  Although it was embarrassing to grab too much money, Qin Lang's money was easy to grab, and this son-in-law always had no complaints and was very cooperative. Li Shimin is now addicted to snatching, whenever Qin Lang comes up with something good, he immediately wants to follow up.

  The Jiade pawnshop model is very good, so he is also planning to let Neifang start a **** shop and open it all over the country, and even wants the transshipment department to use the money from the treasury to follow up and open a shop.

  Qin Lang had nothing to do about this shameless old man. Of course, he was helpless on the surface, but in fact he didn’t object much. The emperor’s follow-up was actually a way of expressing his support. Anyway, he always believed in not being afraid of competition.

  The market is so big, are you afraid of competition?

  I am not afraid of competition, but I am afraid that others will eat alone, or overturn the table.

  Now the emperor joined the table with a plate, and Qin Lang was able to eat safely beside him.

As for the words that business is a cheap industry, it is actually just talking to the outside world. In fact, none of the nobles and scholars personally go to the counter to greet guests. Everyone is manipulating behind the scenes. Naturally, there are many managers in front of the stage. , and even some people simply ask their relatives to come forward, and they don't even touch their names, but this does not hinder the fact that they actually control, nor does it hinder the fact that they collect money every year.

  Qin Lang likes to form partnerships, so that everyone can carry things together, earn money together, and quickly form a scale effect, reduce costs, and expand profits. Li Shimin, on the other hand, is just the opposite. He can get involved wherever his inner workshop is the most profitable, but he only cares about sole proprietorship.

   All the money in his small treasury was used, and all the money he earned naturally went to his small treasury.

  As for the money-making model of the transshipment company, it is simpler and easier to buy.

  When you make money, the imperial court comes to ask for a share, which is essentially to divide the money.

   If you don’t give favor fees, then you will be restricted by policies.

   This set of rules was actually formulated by Qin Lang, and it is still used now. It is essentially the same as relying on power to collect protection fees. Of course, Qin Lang still used the money earned by the transshipment department playing hooligans for the people.

  Salt, grain, tea, wine, sugar, silk, porcelain, and other warehouses in Changping warehouses earn money from reselling these in-demand materials. Apart from keeping some as capital, the rest is used to store food. When grain prices are low, appropriately increase the price to buy and store in storage to prepare for a famine year. When the price of food in a famine is high, the price will be lowered appropriately, and the price will be opened to release grain to stabilize the price of food.

   It is precisely because the money robbed from Hemaizhi was finally used on the common people, so this new law can still be implemented.

   After all, the money did not enter the emperor's treasury, let alone use it for the emperor's extravagant enjoyment.

   What's more, with the emergence of the law of reconciliation and purchase, Qin Lang also petitioned for the abolition of the previous disturbing usury public money.

  This is also one of the keys to being able to pass this and buy a new law.

  The practice of forcing others to borrow money at high interest rates, although it fills the gap in the government's expenditure, is indeed a bad practice.

  The father-in-law, the emperor, and his son-in-law, Guogong, watched the game and discussed privately there for a long time. After a long debate, they finally reached an agreement.

Qin Lang helped the emperor establish a bank and a **** shop under Neifang. As for the name, they are called Royal Bank and Neifang Pawn. Simple, within three years, at least one pawnshop and money shop should be established in each of the 15 prefectures and more than 300 prefectures across the country, such as Chang'an, Luoyang and other places, and the surrounding populous cities should also be established.

  Of course, all of this is rewarded. The reward is that the emperor allowed Donggong to enter the bank industry and operate the bank business, and allowed Donggong to lead, and Qin Lang and others to operate in partnership.

The agreement was negotiated, but Li Shimin suddenly proposed that Qin Lang help Neifang to build a paper and ink workshop, a book printing workshop, and a bookstore. Get a foot in this hot industry and make a fortune.

  What can Qin Lang say about the emperor's shameless behavior.

   Naturally, he could only respond with a wry smile. The emperor also wanted to make this money, so that couldn't stop him.

   It’s just that the patent fee couldn’t be collected from the emperor. Finally, under Qin Lang’s insistence, the emperor agreed to pay 3,000 Wen.

   But don’t charge it, Qin Lang thinks this is even worse, so it’s still a symbolic charge.

   Li Shimin still doesn't want to give the three thousand money, how dare the courtiers accept the emperor's money? But Qin Lang said that it was not the emperor's money, but Neifang's money, which was different.

   "Sanlang, the perfume you sent to the palace a few days ago is very good."

  When Qin Lang heard that, the emperor was too greedy, so he hurriedly talked about him, but didn't answer.

  Li Shimin laughed.

   "Why are you panicking, I didn't say yes."

   Li Shimin originally wanted it, but looking at it like this, he didn't mention it for the time being.

"I see that your boy is also loyal, so how about it, I posthumously bestow upon your great-grandfather the governor of Qizhou, the state of Shangzhu, and the county magistrate of Licheng, and the eldest son born to you by your concubine will be born for a hundred days. This son is specially given to inherit the Dukedom of Licheng County."

  Qin Lang was moved.

This is not easy. Qin Lang's great-grandfather, Qin Fangtai, was originally a small official in the Guangning Palace of the Northern Qi Dynasty, but the emperor bestowed the title of county duke. This counts, in fact, it has been bestowed for three generations. Qin Lang's father, Qin Qiong, is now Qi Guo's fair rules are still there, so there is no need to give them back. Grandfather Qin Ai had been posthumously given the titles of Duke of Jinan County, Governor of Yingzhou, Governor of Shangzhu, and Shangzhu Kingdom.

  This time, Qin Fangtai will be presented as a posthumous gift, which is the posthumous gift of three generations.

  You must know that when the Great Tang gave gifts to the ancestors of officials, generally those who were above the fifth rank and had a title would be given to one generation, and those who were above the third rank and even had to be prime ministers and have the title of duke and marquis would be given to two generations.

  As for posthumous gifts for three generations, there are very few of them. They must be prime ministers and princes, and those who have made great contributions can be posthumously given to three generations.

  Earlier, both Lord Qin Lang and Lord Qin Lang were conferred the title of Duke and Prime Minister, and they were only conferred to Qin Ai. Now they have been conferred for three generations.

  Qin Lang secretly speculated, could it be because the emperor wanted to reward his eldest son?

  Qin Lang's eldest son was born more than two months ago. Qin Qiong named his grandson Qin Jun. Although he is the son of a concubine, he is the eldest son and also Qin Qiong's eldest grandson.

  At this time, Li Shimin bestowed Qin Fang with the title of Duke of Taili City, and it was logical that he would give Qin Jun the title of Duke of Taili City.

  Qin Fangtai's Duke of Licheng County and Qin Ai's Duke of Jinan County are both false nobles, which are quite different from the actual titles of Qin Qiong and his father, but they are still nobles anyway.

  The dukedom of Jinan County has already been passed on to Qin Qiongshu's fourth son, Qin Li.

   But it is still quite prominent. Before the 100th day, he was a county magistrate. Even if it is a false title, he is a noble after all.

   "Your Majesty, I thank God on behalf of the dog, and dare not accept the title."

  The posthumous gift to the great-grandfather is a great honor. Qin Fangtai's tombstone can be changed, but the son has just been born, even if it is the title of his great-grandfather, it seems too amazing.

   "If you get the reward, you will receive it. Just do your best for me. No matter how you say it, this child will call Li Zhi my mother and my grandfather."

  Qin Lang glanced at Li Zhi who was watching polo next to the eldest grandson empress. She was only five years old and her head grew big.
