As early as when he was promoting football, Li Zexuan predicted that gambling activities would slowly rise along with football. Later, things did develop in the direction he expected.
Although he knew that gambling on football would harm people, it was a matter of mutual consent and he had no control over it. To put it nicely, it was called betting, but to put it worse, it was called gambling!
However, although he can't control people's gambling, he can control those teams that play match-fixing!
When the Datang Football Federation was first established, Li Zexuan said that any team or individual involved in match-fixing would be permanently included in the Datang Football Federation’s “blacklist” and players would no longer be allowed to play football. Team owners are not allowed to form any more teams, and those who bribe the team to play fake matches will not be allowed to watch any football match organized by the Football Association for life. If the circumstances are serious, they will be directly handed over to Dali Temple for processing.
Considering that Li Min and Li Yuanchang did not gain much money from this, and Li Ke was interceding on the side, and if this matter was brought to Dali Temple, Li Er's face would be very ugly, so Li Zexuan finally Let's leave these two little bastards to Li Ke!
Correspondingly, Li Min also handed over the list of teams that were coerced by them to play match-fixing. Originally, there were four teams, but because the Fenglei team finally placed Li Min and Li Yuanchang together, the number of teams that played match-fixing was totaled. Three teams - Team Mangniu, Team Qingfeng, and Team Fire Phoenix!
Li Min and Li Yuanchang were sent back to the palace. When things had developed to this point, even if Li Ke wanted to help his brother hide it, it was impossible. Li Ke originally wanted to enter the palace immediately and report the matter to Li Er. , but Li Zexuan left him alone.
"Xiao Ke, you must have been at the bank for three months, right? How do you feel? What problems did you encounter?"
Yanhuang Bank, back hall.
At this time, only Li Zexuan and Li Ke were left. After the two sat down, Li Zexuan asked.
Li Ke thought for a moment and replied: "Students have been here for just three months! At the beginning, I was unfamiliar with many things in the bank, and I always felt there were many constraints when doing things. After a period of time, I sorted out the bank Things have become much smoother now, but there are still problems!"
"Oh? Then tell me first!"
Li Zexuan smiled and said.
Li Ke organized his language and said:
"I feel that within the bank, there are still too few people who understand the new arithmetic and Shan Chang's new accounting method. This has greatly affected the operational efficiency of the entire bank, and it can easily lead to errors in the accounts! Once the accounts are wrong, losses will occur. It is often very large, so the most important thing Ke has done in the past three months is to check the accounts, but this is not a long-term solution. When our bank becomes larger in the future, I will be unable to do anything else!"
Talent! After all, banks still lack talents!
Li Zexuan's new arithmetic was launched less than a year ago. It is extremely difficult to find a group of accountants who are proficient in the new arithmetic and new accounting methods in the world!
This "talent shortage" situation may get better in a few years, but banks can't wait!
Li Zexuan frowned and thought for a moment, then said: "In fact, it is not difficult to solve this problem. Xiao Ke, you can recruit a group of students from Yanhuang Academy who are proficient in new arithmetic and understand new accounting methods, and hire them to Yanhuang Academy for a fee. The bank, use their weekend time to help the bank check the accounts!
This has two advantages. First, it allows the bank to maintain efficient and accurate operation. Second, these students work part-time and study. They can use this to deepen the knowledge they usually learn from books. They can also be exposed to the daily business of the bank in advance. After they graduate from the academy, if they have no intention of pursuing an official career, they can stay in the bank as accountants. In terms of salary, they can definitely ensure that their whole family has food and clothing! "
The status of Yanhuang Bank in the Tang Dynasty was almost equivalent to that of a modern bank or central bank. It was considered a large "state-owned enterprise". Li Zexuan felt that assigning his students to work in the bank would not be considered as a disgrace to the prestige of Yanhuang Academy!
"Captain Shan, do you plan to let the students from the academy work as accountants at the bank in the future?"
Li Ke's eyes widened, a little unbelievable.
In the concept of the ancients, there was no concept of "state-owned enterprises". They only had the imperial court in their eyes. Scholars studied and obtained honors in order to enter the court and serve the country. But I have never heard of anyone studying specifically to be a bookkeeper.
"What? Xiaoke, do you look down on Yanhuang Bank? Do you think the students in the academy are undervaluing their talents by staying here?"
Li Zexuan's sharp eyes seemed to be able to see through people's thoughts. He glanced at Li Ke lightly and said with a faint smile.
"No! No! Ke didn't mean that!"
Li Ke said quickly.
Li Zexuan shook his head and said with a smile: "Xiao Ke, you have stayed at the bank for a long time. You should have some idea of what kind of place Yanhuang Bank is. As a teacher today, I can tell you with great certainty that within three years, Yanhuang Bank will control the economic lifeline of the entire Tang Dynasty, and its importance is definitely no less than any of the six departments of the imperial court! In this case, do you still think that our academy students will lose their talents by staying here? "
Li Ke was a little shocked, but after thinking about it carefully, what Li Zexuan said might not come true. He handed over his hand and said:
"What the mountain chief said is also what Ke hopes! No matter what others think, Ke will never feel that staying in a bank is a waste of talent!"
Li Zexuan smiled, paused for a moment, and then said:
"Yanhuang Academy teaches engineering. Although the imperial examinations include Mingshu subjects, compared with Jinshi, Mingjing and other subjects, the admission quota for Mingshu subjects will be much smaller each year. Yanhuang Academy students can stand out in the imperial examinations every year There are definitely very few students, and students who can gain a firm foothold among the officials in the court with their engineering studies are even rarer!
Therefore, I think that instead of letting students work as small officials in one of the six departments, spending all their time helping the chief official with miscellaneous tasks, it would be better to let them come to a place like Yanhuang Bank to truly develop their strengths! In addition to Yanhuang Bank, there is also Qiquge Workshop, they are also needed there!
Xiao Ke, don’t look down on the workshop. This workshop has now become the most technologically advanced workshop in Datang. With the subsequent changes in energy and power machinery, the Qiquge Workshop will become more and more advanced, reaching the Beyond this era! Students in the academy can use what they have learned to create wealth here, wealth that will provide them with food and clothing throughout their lives!
Most of the teachers who have their current status rely on their engineering studies. In the future, among these students, there may be hundreds or even thousands of teachers and hundreds of Yong'an Marquises! "
The meaning of this passage is actually very simple, that is, the imperial court does not want too many engineering students, so I want them. I don’t want too many!
This was a plan that had been buried in Li Zexuan's mind for a long time. It was called the Dalantian Plan. When he thought about it, since the imperial examination system in this era was mainly based on Confucianism and the imperial court could not afford so many engineering students, he would bring this group of people with him. Students, create a world in Lantian County that transcends this prosperous age!
Anyway, he is now the head of Lantian County, and there are many vacant positions under his command. He has the ability to give those engineering students generous treatment and high social status!
