When night fell, the entire East Palace was brightly lit, the subordinate officials of the East Palace gathered, and everyone was waiting for the battle report on the first day of the post bank.

"Eighty thousand!"

When a post guard hurriedly came and passed on the news of today's remittance from the post bank, the entire East Palace immediately cheered.

"If you send 80,000 yuan a day, according to the commission worth one hundred draws, wouldn't you be able to make a profit of 800 yuan a day." Li Chengqian said excitedly, you must know that this is only the first day of opening, and there are such proud results, and Li Chengqian can't help but be excited.

"A profit of 800 yuan a day, and in a year, the bill of exchange business alone will make a profit of nearly 300,000 yuan." Kong Yingda couldn't help but smack his tongue and said, 300,000 guan is not a small amount, it is enough to be comparable to the tax of a government, which is an extremely dazzling achievement, and more importantly, the post bank has succeeded for most of it.

"Kong Sai Liquor is wrong, this is the New Year is approaching, and there are many business travelers returning to their hometowns for the New Year, if there are usually not so many bills of exchange." Yu Zhining shook his head and said, he didn't get carried away by victory, it is impossible for the post bank to have so many people sending money every day.

Li Chengqian shook his head and said: "No, this is only the income of a post bank in Chang'an City, the money in the world flows through each other, once the post bank of the Datang Ten Roads is all in operation, the money of Datang can be remitted to the world, and from then on, the amount of the daily bill of exchange will definitely double, and the income of the post bank will also double." ”

"Multiply! Wouldn't that be able to reach a profit of 600,000 yuan! "The people in the East Palace couldn't help but be shocked, and this is only the income expectation that the post bank has just opened the Datang Ten Roads, once the post bank opens the post bank in various prefectures and counties, what a grand occasion it will be.

"No wonder the Mo family wants to set up the Mojia Village Bank, it turns out that there are such terrifying benefits." An East Palace subordinate official smacked his tongue.

Everyone knows that the industry that Mojiazi attaches importance to is not simple, especially the most important banking business, even if it costs 300,000 yuan, it is still necessary to set up Mojiacun Bank, when they are personally involved, they know that the banking industry has such broad prospects.

"And I heard that the bill income of Mojia Village Bank only accounts for half of the total income, and the rest is the loan interest income, which is also not lost to the bill of exchange income." Kong Yingda took a deep breath and said.

In later generations, the income of bills of exchange was almost negligible, and most of the bank's income depended on loans, but in the era of inconvenient transportation in Datang, it was extremely inconvenient for people to carry heavy gold and silver, and bills of exchange were the bulk of profits.

"In the future, the post bank will also have a loan business, so wouldn't it be possible to increase the income significantly!" Yu Zhining felt that his brain was a little insufficient, Mojiacun Bank was only in the Longhai Line for a generation, and the post bank could cover the entire Datang, and the advantage was even more obvious.

Everyone in the East Palace nodded thoughtfully, anyone can see how broad the prospects of the post bank are, from now on, the post station will no longer need the imperial court appropriation, not to mention self-sufficiency, there can be huge benefits.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, since the post bank has such a huge income, I don't know how His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will deal with this income." Kong Yingda suddenly straightened up.

In an instant, the entire East Palace subordinate officials were silent, if it was money such as stamp income, they could still decide to stay and let the post station use it for their own use, but the bank's income was hundreds of thousands, and even millions in the future, they didn't dare to make their own decisions.

"Naturally, it will be handed over to the treasury!" Li Chengqian said without hesitation.

"Turn it over to the treasury!" The eyes of the subordinate officials of the East Palace lit up, but there was a faint pain in their hearts, it was possible to earn millions of yuan a year, and the East Palace gave it up like this.

"For thousands of years, it has been the treasury to support the post station sparing no effort, there is such a scale of the post station, now the post bank is built on the basis of the post station and the treasury, the use is the court industry, the natural post bank is also owned by the imperial court, the post station should be known to the entu, in addition to leaving a part of the profit to support the operation of the post station, the rest are handed over to the treasury." Li Chengqian said loudly.

"Thanksgiving! His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said very much. Kong Yingda pun on his words, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince needs not money at all, but fame, now the post station can not only be self-sufficient, but also feed back to the treasury, not only the post station Zhi En Tu Bao, but also His Royal Highness the Prince's Zhi En Tu Bao.

What he was most worried about before was that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, like the Mo family, was ready to hand over the profits to the Inner Treasury, and now it seems that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince decided to decide the ownership of the profits from the composition of the post bank, which can be said to be justified.

"Turn it over to the treasury! But in this way, won't the court compete with the people for profit? An East Palace official wondered.

Yu Zhining raised his eyebrows and said: "What does it mean to compete with the people, which one of the Mo family or the Ziqian family can be called the people?" ”

"Yes, as for the ordinary people, the post bank saves them from the exploitation of flying money, and enjoys ten times more convenience than the Mojia Village Bank, so that their money can be safely delivered to their homes, which is a good thing for everyone." Kong Yingda also made a final decision.

Everyone in the East Palace nodded one after another, they not only saw that the Mo family was not pleasing to the eye, but also sneered at the notorious Ziqian family, so naturally they would not speak for them.

"Yes, the post bank is several times better than the Mojiacun bank in the hands of the palace, and the scale of the post station is more than ten times that of the Kyoto Express, this time, I see that Merton dares to be presumptuous in front of the palace!" Li Chengqian said proudly.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is a noble man, how can he compare with the Mo family!" Everyone in the East Palace complimented.

Most of them are people from the family, and they couldn't help but feel a lot better when they heard that they could suppress the Mo family and suffer heavy losses because of the collapse of the Ziqian family.

"In that case, let's stop here for today! Tomorrow, Hou Shangshu's army will go on the expedition, and we will see him off. Li Chengqian personally sent the guests off.

"Farewell to the minister!" Everyone in the East Palace resigned.

After the ministers of the East Palace left, Li Chengqian looked at the report in his hand and said with a smile: "My father has been working hard for the military expenses of the Western Expedition, and I think with this income, I will definitely be satisfied with my father." ”

On the second day,

Suddenly, heavy snow fell from the sky, and the entire pass was white, but this did not affect the army's journey in the slightest.

Outside Chang'an City, the army gathered, every soldier stood proudly in the snow waiting for the review, the head of the three armies, it was the famous general Hou Junji of the Tang Dynasty, from Hou Junji to ordinary soldiers, everyone wore an army green military cotton coat, this is the proud masterpiece of the Mojia ink suit, stretching out the love of the military and the people, wearing a military coat even in the wind and snow is not afraid of the cold, this is also Hou Junji dared to propose the confidence of marching in Layue.

Moreover, now that the heavy snow has blocked the northwest, the road to the Western Turks of Gaochang has been covered by heavy snow, which is more conducive to hiding the news of the army's expedition, which is enough for the Western Regions countries to get the news of the Tang Dynasty a month late.

"The three armies are ready, please review them for Your Majesty." Hou Junji stood proudly at the head of the army and said proudly.

Li Shimin looked at the majestic soldiers standing proudly in the snow, and couldn't help but feel a burst of pride in his heart, with such majestic soldiers, that is the cornerstone of the Tang Dynasty's strength.

"Gao Chang was rude to my Datang, and I was unwilling to pursue it, but Ju Wentai had bad intentions, undermined the peace of the Silk Road, and repeatedly offended my Datang Tianwei. Today's crusade against the army is not for their own interests, but for the sake of justice for Yiwu and Yanqi, and more importantly, for the long-term peace of the Western Regions. Li Shimin said loudly.

Although this battle was to pull out Gaochang, a cancer on the Silk Road, from a legal point of view, Li Shimin naturally wanted to determine the justice of this battle.

"Your Majesty is merciful!" The generals shouted.

"Hou Junji, I will hand over the three armies to you!" Li Shimin bowed solemnly and bowed to Hou Junji.

After Hou Junji calmly accepted the salute, he knelt down on one knee and said: "The last general will definitely live up to His Majesty's order, and he will never be a teacher if he does not break Gaochang." ”

"The three armies obey the order!" Hou Jun got up, turned over on his horse, drew his long sword and shouted suddenly.

"Obey the general's orders!" All the soldiers said in unison.

"Expedition!" Hou Junji said in a high-pitched voice.

In an instant, the military drums beat and the majestic team changed formations in an orderly manner, striding along the brick road that had already cleared the snow.

Hou Junji couldn't help but be complacent, last time, the western expedition to Tuyuhun, the scale is also not inferior to this, but the last time he was a deputy general, but did not block Fu Yun missed the great achievement, and this time he was the commander-in-chief, the three armies all listened to his orders, he believed that this battle will be like the western expedition to Tuyuhun, and the head of Ju Wentai will return, and his merits and titles will definitely be comparable to his nominal master Li Jing.

Hou Junji looked around proudly, and couldn't help but be complacent, but when his afterglow swept over a figure, he couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart.

"Mo Jiazi!" The three armies had already set out, and only the firearms supervisor led by Mo Jiazi had not given the order, which made him secretly annoyed in his heart.

"At this time, I will let you know a few points in Chang'an City, and when you are in the army, if you make the slightest mistake, then don't blame General Ben for being ruthless." Hou Junji snorted coldly in his heart.

However, among the hundred officials, Morton didn't care about Hou Junji's gaze at all, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion when he watched the army go on the march.

Many people once thought that the family and the Mo family had been in business for three years, but now the family took the initiative to stop, and the Mo family got a hard-won respite, but Merton was so unwise, the peace between the Mo family and the family only lasted for more than a month, and Merton took the initiative to break the peace.

However, they do not know that true peace is never about expecting the noble hand of the opponent, but about peace fought by a war with a knife and a gun.

The Mo family is more eager for peace than anyone else, but the lessons of the millennium have made the Mo family never hope for the peace of the gift, this time the ink art exhibition will let Mo end the business war with the family once, and then win the battle of Gaochang wholeheartedly.
