Chapter 468 Open Talk
"I know about this. Besides, does reputation matter to me? I believe my mother should also know what this bank does."
Huidun simply replied.
A smile appeared on Feipusha's face, with a proud look between her eyebrows. She said:
"I have to say that Brown is a genius. He can actually come up with such a good way to exploit you without making everyone unhappy."
Now that the kingdom's Ministry of Finance could be said to belong to her, she naturally had long since figured out what this bank was.
It doesn't matter whether it boosts the economy or facilitates transactions.
For the rulers, controlling the banks means controlling all the interests that can circulate in the market.
Take gold, the simplest symbol of wealth.
Before, all the people who gained benefits had real money in their hands, but now it has become a beautiful-looking voucher.
For individuals or business groups, as long as the bank's credibility is guaranteed, it will not affect anything.
But don't forget that banks belong to the rulers, and the flow of interests between countries will not use the vouchers issued by your bank.
Today, the central court of the Thorn Flower Empire is in name only, so transactions between countries can only be conducted in hard currencies such as gold.
At this time, the financial gap between countries with banks and countries without banks can be reflected.
It can be said that it operates well. As long as there is military guarantee, it is entirely possible to use the banking and financial industries to concentrate the country's strength and then carry out financial harvesting outside.
Princess Phipsa's vision is profound. She can immediately see that Chen Cheng, a world overlord in his previous life, used financial means to plunder the entire world.
Huidun was also very proud of this, so he then said to his mother:
"Since you can see this, then you should also know what kind of king I want to be in the future."
Huidun's words were undoubtedly like a bucket of cold water, instantly calming Princess Feipusa down.
Her foresight about the banks comes only from her control of the Treasury, so she can see this.
However, Huidun, who has actually read Chen Cheng's book Capital, knows very well that if that were to be done, the entire social structure would change.
Because the business capitalists who provide the profits will never be satisfied with the current power structure.
Although Princess Phipsa's thoughts did not change, she was well versed in politics and human nature and only needed to think about it for a moment to know what kind of uncontrollable changes would be brought about by this.
Seeing the fear on his mother's face, Huidun patted her shoulder and said:
"Don't worry, mother. Since I have done it, I must have thought of a way to end it.
So from now on, please don't interfere in your child's affairs. I will just think about the happiness of family life."
Huidun has come clean with his mother. The path he is going to take is no longer the old one. He is going to take the path of change, and it is a path of change that has never been seen before.
So what he needs around him is not old people with old ideas who can give him orders, but young people who are united in purpose.
And how could Princess Phipsa not understand the meaning of her son's words?
To be honest, she really wanted to control Huidun immediately, and then have someone kill Chen Cheng outside, and then bring Huidun back to the "right path".
But looking at his son's determined eyes, and thinking of the oppression and abuse he suffered because of his royal family background, perhaps his son also had hatred in his heart.
He hated his mother, his father, and even the corrupt monarchy.
Looking at the constantly changing expressions on his mother's face until the final look of pity, Huidun knew that his mother had taken his words to heart.
To be honest, Huidun had already been worried for a long time.
He made this sudden showdown without consulting Chen Cheng. He was gambling with Chen Cheng's life and his mother's guilt towards him.
It can be said that his greatest political power now still comes from his mother, so if he does not convince his mother, there will definitely be a mess in the future.
"Mother, I am now old enough to get married. The daughter of the Marquis of Solo is also old enough to get married. I would like you to contact the Marquis of Solo for me. I would like to have a blind date with the eldest daughter of the Marquis of Solo to see if we are suitable for each other.
If Marquis Solo refuses, then I will ask my mother to find another one for me, but before we make a decision, I will let the boy meet the girl to see if it is suitable. "
Huidun said as he glanced at Princess Phipsa.
"I don't want to spend my whole life with someone I don't know. I would be very uncomfortable if I did that."
The mother and son talked in the room for more than an hour. Finally, Princess Feipusa came out with Huidun with red eyes.
"Since you have such an idea, I will speak for you. It would be good for us to meet. At least it won't be a tragedy like what happened to your father and me."
As Princess Phipsa spoke, tears welled up in her eyes again.
It can be said that theirs is a political marriage, but these two people who have never met and have no feelings for each other are forced together, so naturally there is no happiness at all.
Scandals in aristocratic circles are often caused by such deformed political marriages.
Huidun also accepted the political marriage because it was something he could not escape.
But at least he requires both parties to have a certain understanding of each other, to know what kind of person the other person is and whether they meet their requirements for a significant other.
This way at least they can get married first and then fall in love, instead of being together just for the sake of benefit.
Princess Phipsa suffered a lot in this regard, so now that her son has grown up, she doesn't want him to be like his father.
Huidun reached out and wiped the tears from the corners of Feipusha's eyes.
"The son is unfilial and makes his mother sad."
Huidun's words came from the bottom of his heart.
Princess Feipusha smiled, then pulled Huidun and said:
"Let's go. Brown has been waiting for so long. You young people have something to say. I have to go to the kitchen to see if the soup I made this morning is ready."
Looking at his mother's leaving back, Huidun sighed, and then he slapped himself.
He knew that he had just hurt his mother's feelings, but the big family and the small family should still be distinguished. He didn't want to cause the mother and son to become enemies because of his hesitation.
When Huidun found Chen Cheng, he was fishing in the backyard pond of the princess's mansion with a fishing rod.
Seeing Chen Cheng holding a fishing rod like an old man fishing, Huidun stepped forward and said:
"I didn't catch anything. If I did, I'll take it to the kitchen and we'll have grilled fish for lunch today."
Chen Cheng raised his straw hat, then looked at Huidun and said:
"Isn't this a big live fish that I caught?"
As soon as Huidun heard this, he knew that Chen Cheng had not caught any fish.
He snatched the fishing rod from Chen Cheng and said:
"That's impossible. We haven't caught any fish in such a long time. There are a lot of fish in this lake."
But when he pulled the fishing line back in, he found there was no hook on it.
