Chapter 266: Hot topic? I think you want to be reported!
But this person, who was always haggling over a few thousand taels of silver, now accepted Yun Shu's exorbitant offer of 30 million taels without even blinking an eye!

Is this reasonable?

Minister Yan's double standard behavior is really too much!
The eldest prince turned his head away in anger, but before he could wink at General Weiyuan,

General Weiyuan, who had been repeatedly rejected by Minister Yan, could not help but speak in a sarcastic tone:

“Now the national treasury is still well-stocked again?
I remember when I asked Lord Yan for military pay a few days ago, Lord Yan kept saying that there was only so much money in the treasury and that every penny was hard-earned.

If it is not necessary, we should not take even a penny from you, okay?"

"Her Highness the Princess proposed to establish an academy for the future of Tiansheng!
How can you compare with people like you who can't even match the account books you produced?"

It was not uncommon for people like Minister Yan and General Weiyuan to quarrel over money.

Facing the accusation, he didn't even raise his eyelids. He snorted disdainfully and ignored the unhappy looks from those behind him.
He calmly held the tablet and bowed to Emperor Xuanwu, saying:

"Your Majesty, I have something else to report."

"Oh?"

Emperor Xuanwu intuitively felt that what Minister Yan was going to say next must also be related to Xiaowu.

Perhaps this is why Minister Yan unexpectedly accepted the 30 million taels of silver:

"Tell me?"

"I dare not take credit for this. It was actually Your Highness the Princess who first brought it up..."

As expected, as soon as Minister Yan opened his mouth, he made it clear that it was all Yunshu's credit.
After that, he carefully explained in front of everyone the "bank opening plan" that he had carefully thought about for a long time last night according to the general direction given by Yun Shu, and the various actual implementation details:
"Your Majesty, I think this matter has great potential!"

"Father, I think this is not possible!"

Seeing that Emperor Xuanwu seemed to have a look of surprise and satisfaction on his face, the eldest prince, fearing that Yunshu would take this opportunity to make another great contribution, did not even bother to keep his face and asked other people in his faction to help speak for him.
He took a step forward and spoke eagerly:

"This bank sounds good, but in reality it is just a combination of money houses and loan sharks in a slightly different form.
Let’s not talk about whether this is suspected of competing with the people for profits, just the fact that the court is lending money at high interest rates is…”

"My eldest brother, this is wrong."

Yun Shu interrupted him faintly:

“First of all, the bank keeps the money for the people and does not charge any custody fees. Instead, it gives interest. This is undoubtedly a good thing for the people of Tiansheng.

Secondly, the reason why usury is strictly prohibited is that its interest rate is too high, which can be said to be extremely high.
In addition, in the early stages of lending money, in order to trick people who are not clear about the actual interest rate of the loan into signing, the loan sharks will also lie that the interest rate is not actually high.

Afterwards, various means are used to deceive people step by step, causing them to be burdened with huge debts that they are unable to repay, or even leading to the destruction of their families.

But it is normal for merchants to need to borrow money to do business.

Ordinary people occasionally have to borrow money.

At this time, the imperial court stepped in and asked the banks to help them solve their urgent needs in a formal, reliable and low-interest manner. This is also a good thing that benefits the country and the people!"

"The princess is right!"

Not wanting to listen to the eldest prince's specious words, Emperor Xuanwu directly stated his attitude and suppressed the thoughts of those who wanted to continue to refute:

"The matter of Tiansheng College will be handled by the princess, and the Ministry of Industry will assist. As for the bank, the Ministry of Revenue will be responsible!
Does anyone else have anything else to say? If not, then we can leave!"

"..."

No, they just want to say something against it,

But since Your Majesty has said so, they don’t have the courage to speak any more!

Moreover, Her Royal Highness has placed such high importance on these two matters.

They were all afraid that as they spoke, they would inexplicably become short-sighted wastes or traitors who did not wish Tian Sheng well!

……

Although the establishment of Tiansheng College has been officially put on the agenda,

However, building dozens or even hundreds of colleges in various places in Tiansheng at the same time is not something that can be done just by talking.

The problem of recruiting workers is easy to solve. There is no shortage of people willing to earn money by doing physical work these days. As long as you post the recruitment information in Tiansheng Weekly in advance, when the time comes, there will definitely be a lot of people rushing to take the job.

The key is who will select the site, supervise the construction and regulate the local colleges.

You know, even in her time, there were often scandals about charities or organizations taking money but not doing anything practical.

Her original intention in establishing Tiansheng College was to develop Tiansheng and give ordinary people some other ways out.

It’s not to give some people another way to make money!

In the imperial study, he discussed with Emperor Xuanwu for half a day how to prevent this problem from happening, and then spent another half a day reviewing memorials.

After a tiring day, I can finally go back to Fengyang Palace to have a good rest.

As a result, as soon as he entered the courtyard, he heard Yun Chuhuan's familiar voice as if he was in his own palace:
"That recipe just now is very good. This prince is going to cook one directly!"

"I think you want to be reported!"

Yun Shu raised his leg and stepped over the threshold in a bad mood. He glanced at Yun Chuhuan who was half lying with his legs crossed like a big boss, and snorted coldly:
"If you want a buffet, go to Tianwaitian Restaurant. I don't serve you here."

"Fifth sister, you are finally back!"

When Yun Chuhuan heard the noise, he sat up suddenly, like a bullied kid who finally found a parent to complain to. His eyes first lit up with surprise, then

Then he immediately became aggrieved again:
"I would like to go to Tianwaitian Restaurant, but I don't have a penny left, and I'm also in huge debt!"

Yun Shu: “…”

Why do you have to carry it on your back again?
"I gave you 50,000 taels of silver last time, but you didn't return it to your father?"

"I paid it back!"

Yun Chuhuan truly wiped away a handful of bitter tears for himself:

"But father is really too much! Fifth sister, can you believe it?

Just yesterday! Not only did my father suddenly go to Yaohua Palace, he also suddenly entered my room while I was taking a nap, and then fined me another 50,000 taels for the inexplicable reason that I had covered my head with the quilt while sleeping! ! "
