But the premise is that the Liu family has always been useful.

Liu Sidar's thoughts were clear, he stated firmly: "But using it all the time is a very difficult thing."

"Whether it's salt transportation or sweet potatoes, they may seem like operations run solely by the Liu family, but any other family could do just as well, if not better. After all, the imperial court doesn't allow private merchants to participate in salt transportation; this is a special permit granted by the Eastern Palace."

“As for the sweet potatoes, they are now well on their way. Once they are promoted throughout the country, it will be the foundation of the Qin dynasty ruling over all people. Such a crucial tool for national stability and prosperity, the Crown Prince wouldn't allow the Liu family to interfere. Our Liu family wants to live longer, so we shouldn't interfere either.”

So these two things, the Liu family have already lost any further room to operate, but the money house is different.

When it came to this, Liu Sidar's eyes lit up, and he said: "The prince wants to open a money exchange because he sees the huge cash flow. It will bring in revenue for the court and the treasury, so this is bound to be a business that the imperial court will continue to pursue in the long term."

"But these officials wouldn't do this kind of business, they find it beneath them. So it inevitably needs someone trustworthy and reliable to manage it for the Crown Prince."

"Our Liu family's chance is right here."

"Although 20% seems like a small stake, once the money house is operational, the funds will flow like water."

"I also know some old-established banks in town. If you're a regular customer, you can borrow and lend there."

The interests of an individual or a place are nothing.

"For the imperial treasury's banks were spread across the nation, and the true masters of these banks were none other than the Crown Prince, and even the future Emperor."

"The profits from this endeavor, I tell you, are like the interest paid by millions across a vast expanse. This two percent share is worth more than salt transportation in my opinion!"

"With a flushed face, Liu Sidar said excitedly: 'More importantly, as long as the money house runs smoothly and stably, His Highness can easily replace those in charge. Our Liu family will always have value to use, this is the fundamental way to ensure our long-term safety.'"

After hearing this, Liu Sichun couldn't help but re-examine his second brother.

"Brother, you've changed so much this past while."

"Some things I also thought of, but they're not as comprehensive as yours."

Liu Sichun got up and said seriously, "With your support, Second Brother, this matter will definitely be accomplished."

Liu Sida let out a hearty laugh and said, "Brother and sister, united we stand, divided we fall."

"Alright, then let's waste no time and head over to the Wu family right away to discuss prepayment for next year's goods."

......

"Your Highness."

In the brightly lit Xizheng Hall, the Three Treasures delivered a piece of intelligence to Li Chen.

What was written above was exactly the entire content of the Liu family meeting after Liu Sichun returned, including the subsequent conversation between Liu Sichun and his siblings. The details were so accurate and precise, as if the person recording it had been sitting right beside them taking notes.

Li Chen glanced at them and smiled, "Besides Liu Sichun, this Liu family still has a sensible person."

"That person who said they were coming to the Eastern Palace to bargain, do we need to..."

"No need."

Li Chen interrupted San Bao's words and glared at him, "You need to be more tolerant. You even want to hold a grudge over something someone just said out of frustration Can you really afford to be so petty"

"Yes, yes, Your Highness is magnanimous. I am but a lowly servant and unworthy of such kindness," Sanbao said with a smile.

Sa Bao said again, "Furthermore, there have been rumors spreading throughout the palace these past few days, saying that Your Highness and the Empress..."

Li Chen's mind immediately flashed to the concubine he had caught at the scene that day. His face turned cold as he said, "Find out who is spreading rumors and bring them to justice."s.If those warriors, who were both lucky and skilled, managed to dodge the first volley of stones, they would be immediately doused with boiling hot oil from atop the walls.On the city walls, every te...
