Chapter 1809 When love meets power
If Li Ji's personality is in his mind, he would never want to get involved in this matter, because he is very self-aware and knows that he can only fight wars. He is not good at this administrative aspect, and the situation seems to be a little bad now, so he stays away from it so as not to be dragged into the water.
But in the court, people have no choice but to do so!
Now Li Ji is unavoidable. In fact, he had already affected the welfare of the military before. The military is very dissatisfied with this. Now it is more about the stability of the northwest. This is the root of the country. If the northwest is in chaos, Tubo will definitely take action. Then the court will have to lose its skin, and it may not stop. You must know that the Tang Dynasty still has troops in the northwest. Although there are not many troops, as a military boss, he cannot ignore the safety of the soldiers there.
So Li Ji had to go to Li Yi Mansion to ask for a clear understanding, and tell Li Yi Mansion about the interests. They are not ordinary merchants. If the court does not abide by the contract, there will be problems in the northwest at that time, and you will have to take the blame.
Li Yifu had no time to care about the Northwest merchants. He was now busy, but now Li Ji came forward in person, and Li Yifu had to carefully consider this matter. He had finally convinced Xu Shi and his civil servants to hide the national deficit first and promised to fill the holes. Then he immediately ordered people to go to various prefectures and counties to make all the local governments try their best to fill the tax money. The only way for the government is to collect taxes.
Master Xu and the others also knew that if they were stabbed to the emperor, they would be blamed, so they agreed to give Li Yi's mansion some time.
Unexpectedly, the military began to make trouble again. Li Yifu was afraid that the military would cause this matter to Li Zhi, so he could only assure Li Ji that I would definitely take out the money and settle this group of northwestern merchants. Don’t make a statement.
Li Ji didn't want to make things worse, so he agreed.
But the problem is that the court really can't afford so much money, and it takes time to collect taxes.
"Don't panic, Li Zhongshu, I have a plan to solve this urgent problem."
Taoist Master Xuanji smiled and said, "That's not to be in trouble when faced with danger."
Li Yifu was overjoyed and said, "Tell me quickly, Taoist priest."
Taoist Master Xuanji said: "Now, there is only one family that can afford so much money in Chang'an."
Liu Yuanzhen said: "Is the Taoist priest talking about the Yuan family?"
Taoist Master Xuanji shook his head and said, "First of all, the Yuan family may not be able to take out so much money. Secondly, even if the Yuan family can take out, why should the court let the Yuan family pay the money?"
Li Yifu wondered: "Who doesn't know what he said?"
Taoist Master Xuanji said: "Golden Walk."
"Jinxing?"
"good."
Master Xuanji said: "According to my understanding, many people have deposited money into the Jinchang. In the past two years, there have been more people. Only Jinchang can take out so much money. Moreover, Jinchang is justified in making the profit of borrowing and borrowing money from the Jinchang. Besides, Jinchang has always cooperated with the imperial court, and Jinchang is embarrassed to refuse the imperial court, as long as we pay interest."
Li Yi's mansion was like a sudden enlightenment, "Yes! Why didn't I think of Jinxing?"
Taoist Master Xuanji smiled and said, "Don't be in a hurry. After listening to me, the money is said to be borrowed, but it is actually taken, so there is no need to pay it back."
Li Yifu said: "Don't you need to return it?"
