Chapter 519 Be cautious
"After I go back, I will make some plans to reduce expenses, such as reducing some unnecessary expenses. I have estimated that it will save the court a little more money in about a year."
"But more importantly, it's open source, but there's nothing I can do about this."
After hearing this, Li Chen looked at Xu Changqing and said, "Salary expenses are a job that offensive. No matter which part of your expenses you want to cut, it will cause a rebound."
Xu Changqing said with a tough head and said, "But the national treasury is empty, this is a helpless move. I have to bear some of the scoldings."
Li Chen pondered for a moment.
What he pondered was not about Xu Changqing's infamous burden.
Isn’t it natural for the people below to take the blame for the master?
What he is considering is open source.
Although I can still get a lot of money for my wedding, this money is now useful and build a Royal Institution.
This cannot be moved, otherwise the first one of Dan Tai Jingzhi would not agree.
It depends on the person who goes back on his word.
An old stubborn bone like Dan Tai Jingzhi is obviously not a fool.
"It is still necessary to make the court have the ability to make money."
Li Chen's words made Xu Changqing's face stunned.
In the eyes of people of this era, the court is the one who manages the world and is the ultimate pursuit of scholars and scholars all over the world.
But making money is what only the lowest and most despicable businessmen among the four major classes of scholars, farmers, industry and commerce will do.
How can the court make money?
Is it possible to do business?
That's not competing for profit with the people?
Xu Changqing had a strange expression, but he didn't dare to interrupt.
Thinking of the state-owned banks established by the state in later generations, Li Chen was thinking about it.
"Which bank in China is now larger? What functions does it have?"
Xu Changqing was caught off guard and thought for a long time before saying, "The private money house cannot be called a big one. Even if you can open a semicolon across provinces, it is an amazing big money house. There is currently no money house that can be operated across provinces."
"A ordinary money house means saving money for the people, pawning and mortgage, and depositing cash bank, you can obtain silver notes. With the silver notes, you can go to any semicolon of the money house to withdraw silver. As for pawns, like ordinary pawn shops, there is nothing special about it."
"What do you think if the imperial court contributes funds and the Ministry of Revenue takes the lead in building a money house covering the whole country?"
Hearing this, Xu Changqing was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously wanted to refuse.
But he still didn't say it, because he thought that if the prince's character was not fully confident and determined, the prince would not say it easily.
As long as you say it out, it is highly likely that it will continue to be executed.
Therefore, as a subordinate, it is absolutely necessary to directly contradict and reject it.
Thinking about this clearly, Xu Changqing said tactfully: "This matter is extraordinary, be careful."
"It is unheard of for the court to do business. Besides, although officials from the Ministry of Revenue are in charge of money, grain, filing some abacus beads, and managing accounts, they are probably not good if they start a business."
Xu Changqing carefully used the words and continued, "Besides, this money house does not have much profit. How to manage and manage it is all a disgrace. If it is broken, the defeat will be the credibility of the court."
