Li Miao came to the world of Red Mansions. With a low-key and reserved character. Step by step until now. It seems to be contrary to the understanding of thoughts. In fact, it is not the case. If safety is not guaranteed, how can we talk about having clear ideas!
Now that we know that having clear thoughts is good for soul cultivation. In the future, it is necessary to pursue the understanding of thoughts while ensuring safety.
At this time Zhang Defu came to visit. First, I would like to report on the recent development of Shunfeng Ticket Account. Then Zhang Defu looked at Li Miao with a confused look on his face. Obviously the idea is not clear.
Although Zhang Defu can be regarded as Li Miao's cheap father-in-law. Li Miao won't be polite either. Soon Li Miao knew the whole story.
It turned out that there were a lot of banknotes deposited into Shunfeng Ticket Number. It has been a long time since I came to the Shunfeng ticket number to redeem my payment. These banknotes are not time deposits. They are all silver notes used for transactions, but they are not exchanged for silver.
These banknotes were directly used for transactions by these customers. The reputation of Shunfeng Ticket Account itself is nothing to say. Although there is no charge for exchanging money, is there no charge for sending money back and forth? And both sides find it troublesome.
So, everyone just used the banknotes from Shunfeng Bank to make transactions. This in itself is a good thing for Tailwind Ticket Numbers. This is a sign of the ultimate credibility of Shunfeng Ticket Number.
The banknotes of Shunfeng Bank are gradually playing the role of currency. Could it be a good thing? This is actually what Li Miao has been working towards. Unexpectedly, it was achieved suddenly. Li Miao was also in a daze.
Lingshan Island Mint has been preparing for this matter for a long time. But it is obviously too early to operate now. It's not that it's impossible to operate, as long as Li Miao gives his subordinates a monthly report and directly issues banknotes instead of cash.
Then pass the reputation of Tongfeng Ticket Number. As long as the banknote is exchanged for cash anytime, anywhere. Everyone will completely recognize the banknotes of Shunfeng Ticket Number. Moreover, banknotes also have the advantages of being easy to carry, saving transportation, and being escorted by escorts.
But the benefits here are really too great. It was so big that Li Miao didn't dare to touch it easily. The silver notes printed by the Lingshan Island Mint can be turned into silver. What will happen?
Li Miao only has a superficial understanding of the modern banking industry. But we know that this is definitely a systematic project. You need to take it step by step and treat it carefully.
A little carelessness will bring the reputation of Shunfeng Ticket Company and Shunfeng Transportation Escort into disrepute. Devastated.
There are many smart people in this world. If you don't implement it, people may not even think of it. Once the Shunfeng ticket number is implemented, someone will immediately see the fishiness in it.
Will there be no competition for such a huge benefit? The wages of avarice is death. This is no joke. Therefore, if you want to accomplish this, you still need absolute control of force. The current force value of Li Miao's forces is far from enough.
Li Miao believes that the future is promising and Li Miao's strength is constantly increasing. As time goes by, Li Miao will definitely have the strength to do this. But now this matter is a secret, Li Miao's secret alone.
Zhang Defu didn't have Li Miao's knowledge and wouldn't think so far ahead. I just couldn't figure out for a moment how much money was deposited in those banknotes. It's not a small sum sitting idle in the bank of Shunfeng Ticket Number!
Zhang Defu wondered if he could be released and earn more money. In fact, Li Miao relied on Zhang Defu's mind without giving any advice. It doesn't take much time to find a way. It is impossible to keep this money idle forever.
So, Li Miao gave a solution. That is, about 90% of the silver can be released. Keep about 10% of cash as reserve fund. The specific situation can be gradually adjusted in the actual operation in the future.
In addition, for large-amount banknote exchanges, customers are required to report a few days in advance. Just give the ticket number to Shunfeng, leaving enough time for deployment. Zhang Defu looked at Li Miao and said to himself, how does this brain grow?
Seeing Zhang Defu walk out of the study with clear thoughts, Li Miao also began to fall into deep thought. This year is a year of great development for Li Miao's men. It was also the year that completely changed the pattern of the Zheng Dynasty.
In the Northern Bureau, especially the farms near the border, systematic training of cavalry has begun. I have learned from this painful experience. This year I watched the steppe Tatars retreat in a state of sickness, but there was nothing I could do. Therefore, the formation of the cavalry was put on the agenda.
Li Miao will not form cavalry on a large scale. The court is now on thin ice. Li Miao didn't want to stimulate it too much. If the imperial court is stimulated to cause internal strife. That's what Li Miao doesn't want to see the most.
Li Miao still does not have the confidence to fight against the imperial court. He is in the luck system of the Great Zheng Dynasty, and fighting against the court means losing his luck. Before Li Miao's luck had improved to a certain level. Low-key and submissiveness are still the main themes.
Li Miao believes that as long as he has the power, he can become a docile mythical beast. The imperial court will also not do anything to irritate the mythical beast. With the emperor's ability to control the situation, he would not do such an unwise thing.
The Northern Bureau adopted a break-up strategy and trained professional cavalry at the farm under its name. A small farm has a dozen riders, a large farm has a few hundred riders. They are all formed by selecting guards who are already good at riding.
Few of the escorts joined the cavalry. The cavalry focuses on coordinated operations, and personal force value is not particularly important. What matters is overall coordination. Relatively speaking, escorts are used to being stragglers, and it is difficult for them to integrate into the team.
These cavalry are not large in scale, and those with more than a hundred cavalry are located in farms far away from Beizhili. Therefore, it did not arouse the vigilance of any forces. But the total number of these cavalry has reached more than 15,000.
After a while, these cavalrymen were only stronger than the steppe Tatars. They are more disciplined and have greater ability to coordinate operations. They train together all year round. This is not comparable to the improvised cavalry of the steppe Tatars.
The cavalry formed by the Northern Bureau are the best from horses to armor. It can be said to be the top equipment in the world. The treatment of the cavalry is even two levels higher than that of the bodyguards. Not to mention the food.
This is still in peacetime, but once there is a war, these cavalry are simply weapons to steal money. So the guards were all vying to join the cavalry. But it is destined that only the best will have this opportunity.
For this reason, Li Miao and Wang Yonggui specially formulated an elimination and entry mechanism for these cavalry. The flowing cavalry mechanism is more dynamic. The Northern Bureau conducts assessments on the cavalry of each farm every May.
Survival of the fittest, of course it would be better if they all meet the standards. In addition, fresh blood will be selected from among the outstanding guards to join the cavalry. As time goes by, the cavalry team will become stronger and stronger.
Li Miao had high hopes for this cavalry team built with a lot of money. The best defense is offense. In the past, the Northern Bureau had no choice but to use Grange defense. But the amount of manpower and material resources spent is huge.
It also requires a lot of time to prepare. In fact, it is a last resort. Fortunately, Li Miao has abundant financial resources, and with the growth of Shunfeng Transportation Escort Agency. Only then will you have the strength to accomplish this. But the effort and reward are far from proportional.
If you don't think about it, you have trained the guards and escorts of the Northern Bureau. This year's Northern War was a huge loss from a monetary perspective.
The consumption of materials during wartime is not comparable to that in peacetime. Coupled with such a long time of preparation, it also consumes a lot of materials. What about the rewards for guards and escorts?
The only harvest was more than 30,000 war horses, plus some weapons and armor.
The silver taels spent by the Northern Bureau this time may be enough to buy 100,000 horses. But the Prairie Tatars will definitely not sell it. So from Li Miao's perspective, money can be used to improve his strength. Still willing to see it.
After all, Li Miao is not short of money now. With the Shunfeng Transportation Escort Agency, it has rapidly expanded in the southern region. Downwind ticket numbers are in full bloom in the south. Money will only become more abundant in the future. Downwind ticket numbers are money-making machines.
This year's Southern Bureau, with the Shunfeng Transportation Escort Agency, has developed rapidly in the southern region. Strength has been rapidly improved. Especially in terms of force value, it can be swept across the southern region.
Although the force value of the Southern Bureau is still far behind that of the Northern Bureau and Liaodong Bureau. But it's enough to sweep through everything in the south. The situation in the Southern Bureau is already as stable as rock solid. No force, not even the imperial court, dared to stroke his beard.
The southern region was the economic center of the entire Zheng Dynasty. With the entry of Shunfeng Bank, the Southern Bureau has officially become the economic center of Li Miao's power. That is, the most profitable local bureau.
The original Southern Bureau was really not that big of a deal, and it didn't make much money every year. The main function is to transport some in-demand materials to the Northern Bureau and Liaodong Bureau. The other is to organize sea trade supplies.
Today's Southern Bureau is no longer what it used to be. Not to mention that the force value is enough to dominate the southern region, the money-making effect of the Southern Downwind Ticket Account is also leveraged. Enough to take the lead among Li Miao's forces.
