"By the way, what have you been doing lately?"
The empress dropped what she was holding and turned to look at Lao Pu.
"It's the same as before, but the food is much better!" Lao Pu said with a chuckle.
In the past, out of the idea of protecting the equation, the empress did not have much contact with the equation, only about one to two days a month, but she secretly paid a lot of attention to him every day.
"snort!"
Her eyes swept over the pile of memorials in front of her, and the Empress snorted coldly, "You have caused so much trouble for me, so I can relax... If I remember correctly, the winter hunt is about to begin, you go and add a name to him. , no one can be idle this winter!”
"Your Majesty, this is not easy to handle!"
Seeing that the empress blamed Fang Fang for her irritability during this period, it had nothing to do with Lao Pu, but hunting in winter was not a comfortable thing.
Hunting in autumn and hunting in winter seem to be one thing, but they are actually two different things. The former is the entertainment and socializing of the martial arts disciples in the city, while the latter is their responsibility.
The difficulty and the risks required are not at the same level at all.
After winter, there is a lack of food in the mountains, and there are hungry and fat beasts everywhere. Normally docile animals will also do some hurtful things in order to survive. Compared with the people who can only rely on their houses to escape the severe cold, The children of the Wu family are the very few who are idle and have the ability to hunt in winter.
"It's hard to handle, so I'll handle it!"
The empress sneered, "It doesn't make sense, everyone is busy because of him, and he is the only one who is idle. He is not the captain of Baihu now. Just gather thirty people for him and throw them into the tent of Marquis Long Wu. What are your details? Just tell Marquis Long Wu that you have to suffer a little!"
Winter rest hindered the development of people's power in Wu Dynasty, but for a long time, it also evolved into a default holiday.
Entering the winter break, the Wu Dynasty has entered a semi-dormant state one after another. How can it be as lively as this year?
The equation lit a fire, and the fire burned everyone.
Regardless of whether the fire was set well or not, it will be difficult for everyone to live peacefully this winter. When she thought of her hair loss during this period, and heard about the small life that Dao Fang was living, the empress inexplicably wanted to give him something to add to her heart.
"The old slave will discuss this with Marquis Longwu!"
A dead fellow Taoist is not a poor Taoist. Lao Pu will not go against His Majesty's will for the equation at this stage. As for whether His Majesty will regret it later, Lao Pu doesn't care. After all, people live in the present and pass this test first.
As for the equation, it should indeed be moved.
Children in their late twenties, no matter what the future holds, should have their own social circle. Is it a big deal to just hang around like an old man all day long?
Old Man Xia, the Grand Sima, is determined to bring Fang Fang into court.
He and the prince were also interested in writing the equation's name into the royal family pedigree.
Just think about it, you need to get approval from the empress, and you need positive feedback from the equation. Compared to hiding in the dark and making suggestions for the country, winter hunting is obviously an excellent entry point.
Once this was done, even though the empress only wanted to vent her anger at the beginning, after the matter was completed, Fang Fang had taken the first step into entering the court.
Taking this step is far more symbolic than adding the title of Captain Baihu. In the future, whether the empress or Fang Fang himself wants to retreat, he can push Fang Fang forward step by step according to various rules.
As for suffering, if young people eat it, they will grow up!
…
"I always feel like there's a missing link somewhere!"
In the Xia Mansion, Xia Abacus flicked the official document in his hand, "It turns out that he hid this trick, but that's right, from scratch to difficulty, from something to excellence, there are many references to work-for-relief, but this bank If it doesn’t move, it will be good; if it moves, it will be better!”
In his early years, the Xia family in Zhongshan was based on business and supplemented by a scholarly background. He was well versed in business management.
As for the bank, Xia's bank has a longer history than several major families in the Song Dynasty. However, due to environmental factors, Xia's bank lags far behind in terms of the number of stores and gold and silver reserves. Now it is just a supplement to the family industry. rather than the core that supports the family.
Savings are beneficial, but lending is limited!
Eight words, in one fell swoop, fundamentally reversed the operation logic of the bank. Even if it were supplemented by distribution theory in the Song Dynasty, the Song Dynasty families might not be willing to do it. After all, with the existing model, it is the family that makes money and the people who are poor, so why should change.
But for Wu Chao, it is really not difficult to change.
First of all, there were very few profitable banks in the Wu Dynasty. If the bankers managed to avoid losing money after a year, they should be rewarded. Some people may have thought about making money in the early years, but now they really have no idea. Whenever a family member is sent to a bank, he will basically be declared The future in this life is limited.
As for imitating the Song Dynasty people and exploiting the people at the bottom?
Don't even think about it. Not to mention that the people of the two dynasties had different temperaments and different styles of doing things. But when it comes to pledging land, in the Song Dynasty, there were more people and less land, while in the Wu Dynasty, it was the other way around.
Qingzhou is prosperous, but there is a slight contradiction between people and land. But in Jizhou and Bingzhou, there are still massive wastelands waiting to be developed?
The bank wants to squeeze it, but if it squeezes too little, it feels bad. If it squeezes too much, it will be packed up and taken away. Don't just leave the pledged land. You can change the government and get the documents to open a new land, and you can live as usual in the coming year.
But once this idea changes, everything becomes very different.
During the conversation, Fang Fang felt that the interest rate difference of 10% was enough to make people excited. The Li brothers thought that the interest rate difference was 12% and 20% respectively. However, in Xia Abacus's eyes, 10% was considered too much. In total, the profit was 80%. It was enough for wealthy families from all over the country to dig out the gold and silver from the fields and open banks.
"It seems that Lao Xia has a plan?"
Xia Abacus nodded with a smile on his face, "Does Your Majesty have any limit on the number of banks?"
"Not yet, I still have to listen to Lao Xia for your opinion!" Lao Pu said with a smile.
After reading the records, the empress was all focused on how to find trouble for the equation, and she had no time to think about these things.
Hearing this, Xia Abacus had an idea and said, "There are more banks and shops, and in equation terms they have to sink. But in my opinion, just sinking to the county seat is not enough. Villages and towns with more than 300 households are the most important." It’s good to have a layout. If I remember correctly, the location must be at least 800 stores, and the number of check-and-balance stores must be at least 1,800 stores. It’s easy to build a store but hard to build a bank!”
"In addition to the different situations in different places, the number of early ticket numbers should not be too few or too many. It is better to control it to three to five. I will discuss the specific situation with people in the next two days and report it to His Majesty afterwards!"
When people in the Song Dynasty were seeking profit, the banks were disorderly and disorderly. It was just a drama of big fish eating small fish and small fish eating shrimps.
When the Wu Dynasty wanted to build a country, it was necessary to have more banks and fewer bank accounts, otherwise it would be difficult to manage.
"As long as you know it, by the way, the equation was thrown into Longwuwei!" Lao Pu reminded Xiaoxiao.
"Long Wuwei?"
Hearing this, Old Man Xia smiled unscrupulously and said, "Yes!"
"That kid has never been an official before. After he became an official, he brought up these things. He has no time to spare. He can go to Longwuwei and practice hard so that he can become an official better in the future!"
Looking at Old Man Xia's gloating smile, Old Pu couldn't help but pour a basin of cold water on him, "Stop your smile, Your Majesty has been annoyed by others these days. The equation is just for anger, and nothing is done. Please take it easy for now!"
