The night is getting darker.
Except for those night-time streets specially approved by the imperial court, Emperor Andu fell into a deep sleep.
Countless blue shimmers merged into the Prime Minister's Mansion, and the light from the bright pattern lamp seeped out from the window sill of the outer study room.
A young man dressed in blood was sitting at the desk, writing something with a wolf-hair pen. The blood in his eyes meant that he was running his skills at the moment, and he could write much faster by running his skills.
Opposite him sat an old man with white beard and hair, squinting eyes.
This study in the Prime Minister's Mansion is somewhat similar to the emperor's royal study, and was used by Xu Yinhe to receive some important staff and ministers.
But tonight Xu Yinhe was in the main hall discussing cooperation with Luo Daofan, so Xu Yuan took over directly.
Hua Hong dragged him over directly and was forced to work overtime. He was not allowed to sleep until he wrote.
Without him, you can't beat him.
No one wanted to ask for help. After all, no one wanted to offend Hua Hong, the God of Wealth in the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Well, the first day I miss Sister Lou Ji.
Sighing, Xu Yuan glanced at the bad old man opposite and felt a little cursed in his heart.
Nowadays, the power structure within the Prime Minister's Mansion is very centralized, and it is completely based on the father's words.
But in this case, his ministers actually dared to beat the prince directly.
There is really no one left.
"What are you looking at?"
The old man opposite, who had his eyes closed to rest, opened his almost invisible squinting eyes and glanced at Xu Yuan: "You have to meet the Ninth Princess tomorrow, so hurry up and write."
"Tsk"
Xu Yuan rolled his eyes, raised his hand to pick up the rice paper with still wet ink, looked at it, and handed it to Hua Hong opposite:
"It's finished, let's take a look."
"."
Hua Hong took it silently, stroking his white beard and glanced at the densely written content on the rice paper, and raised his eyebrows slightly.
Xu Yuan, who had dispersed his skills, leaned back on the chair and began to take a nap.
He is tired.
The old man used force to force me to write until now, and the rooster is almost crowing.
However, when Hua Honglai asked for the so-called "business tips", Xu Yuan was happy to write them to him.
They are all family members.
The same information, while most people are hearing it in one ear and hearing it out in the other, some discerning people are already thinking about how to use it to make profits.
The innovation of the talent training system is a major energizer for any force.
The third prince is making preparations, and so is Hua Hong.
It's a pity that these innovations are limited by the abilities of his subordinates and the cherishment of brooms passed down by blood in this era.
A technology mastered in this era is an iron rice bowl that can be passed down from generation to generation.
The more people who know it, the worse their family members will be treated. No one except people with mental problems would want to spread the word about this situation.
If you want to innovate, there is a lot of resistance.
For a moment, the study became silent.
But only two minutes later, Hua Hong carefully read what Xu Yuan had written for three hours several times.
High-level cultivators are huge productive forces.
Not only can he do the work of 007, but his work efficiency is more than one order of magnitude higher than that of ordinary people.
Hua Hong gently folded the rice paper written by Xu Yuan and put it into the Sumeru Ring. He pondered for a moment and said:
"Changtian, although this scripture you wrote has a lot of practical content, it should only be a framework."
Because he was tired, Xu Yuan put his legs on the table, covered his mouth and yawned:
"Aha. It's just a framework in itself. You old man, you can just let me write it in detail. Just ask my dad. If he agrees, I'll help you edit it slowly."
"."
Hua Hong's eyes twitched when he saw Xu Yuan's dandy attitude, and then he felt helpless.
He knew that Xu Yinhe would not be able to hand this boy over to him.
Compiling business books is basically equivalent to compiling a new canon.
Not only is it time-consuming, it’s also labor-intensive.
The most important thing for Changtian now is to improve this weak cultivation level, and other things must be postponed later.
After thinking for a moment, Hua Hong recalled the content on the rice paper just now:
"It's still too rough. If you have time, write me another copy."
"Can."
Xu Yuan did not refuse this, and it didn't take much effort to write it out slowly.
After a pause, he asked:
"I'll write a framework, can you find someone to fill it in?"
Hua Hong smiled slightly, very kindly:
"Of course. Although the Chamber of Commerce is still in a period of barbaric growth, some senior shopkeepers understand the things you wrote, but there is no general outline and it is difficult to form a system."
Xu Yuan shook his head and said:
"No, what I mean is, will your people really help? This is going to ruin their jobs."
Killing people's jobs and taking away their wealth is equivalent to killing their parents.
Hearing this,
Hua Hong's narrowed eyes flashed with a cold light with a smile:
“If you don’t contribute, you will die.
"Today's Tian'an Chamber of Commerce needs new vitality and new competition. Otherwise, when our generation passes away, these powerful shopkeepers are likely to form a new family clan within the Prime Minister's Palace."
"."
Xu Yuan smiled and did not answer.
Although this bad old man is a bit irritable, he is really loyal to the Prime Minister's Government.
Because of the monopoly of knowledge, the abilities of many senior shopkeepers are indispensable.
Without them, Cheonan Chamber of Commerce will suffer great losses.
Over time, these people will form a powerful family within the Tianan Chamber of Commerce and even the entire Xiangguofu system, that is, a new aristocratic family.
The head of the family can still suppress him if he is strong, but once he is weak, it will be like the existence of a sect family to the sect.
Xu Yuan leaned on the back of the chair and tapped the armchair:
"Old Man Hua, do you want to turn these people into replaceable parts at any time?"
"Component?"
Hua Hong's eyes flashed, and he nodded with a smile:
"What you said, Changtian, is interesting, but it's basically like this. The only way is to erase their special characteristics. Apart from me, Jiang He also has the idea of reforming the Gewuyuan."
"Is this so"
Xu Yuan murmured, his eyes a little sad.
He found that the world now has signs of innovating the production system during the Industrial Revolution and thus liberating productivity.
certainly,
It is based on the pattern of the extraordinary world.
"Okay. I understand. I will help when I have time, but compiling this kind of book does not happen overnight."
Hua Hong smiled sincerely, his eyes soft:
"Chang Tian, please be kind to me, we old guys are doing everything for you.
"Only by erasing the special characteristics of the people below and allowing them to be replaced at any time can the power of the family head be permanently concentrated."
"."
Xu Yuan lowered his eyes and did not express his position.
Hua Hong didn't say much when he saw this, and instead smiled and said:
"By the way, you kid went out for a trip. Where did you learn these things?"
Xu Yuan spread his hands and said:
“The more you see and see, the more you see and see, and you will understand naturally.”
Hua Hong was noncommittal when he heard this and said casually:
"Although what you just wrote has some truth, many of it is not suitable for the current world situation."
Hearing this, Xu Yuan was not surprised.
The things he wrote were all learned in college and graduate school in his previous life.
Theories about macroeconomics, microeconomics, marketing, and financial operations.
Although much the same, the theory of the past life needs some fine-tuning in order to be applicable to this world.
It's impossible not to see Hua Hong's vicious eyes.
Slowly sitting up straight, Xu Yuan spoke with a hint of seriousness:
"After all, it's just something that I came up with, and you need to make some corrections yourself, Old Man Hua.
"Moreover, many of those things can only be implemented under the condition of great unification. When war is approaching, all the production systems of our prime minister's government must serve the war."
Hua Hong's eyes narrowed slightly:
"Changtian, do you understand the wartime system?"
"You really think highly of me."
"." Hua Hong.
With a sigh, Hua Hong said quietly:
"I thought you knew all this, and I wanted to ask you to give me some advice."
"."
Xu Yuan spread his hands. This stuff was not taught in ordinary universities in his previous life, so he had no place to learn it if he wanted to.
But after a moment of pause, Xu Yuan suddenly thought of something and said softly:
"By the way, there is a very important thing. I don't know if you have thought about it, Mr. Hua."
Hua Hong calmed down:
"Speak directly if you have something to say, don't hold back."
Xu Yuan spit out two words, concise and clear:
"Bank notes."
"Bank notes?" Hua Hong frowned.
Xu Yuan slowly stood up from his chair, and while slowly arranging the pens, inks, paper and inkstones on his desk, he said softly:
"When Ran Qingmo went to those big sects to exaggerate the threat of our prime minister's government, no one believed her. At first, I thought it was my father's administrative orders that had a paralyzing effect.
"But now it seems that the sect is just pretending to be confused and has been waiting for the day when Emperor Jiajing dies."
Hua Hong's wrinkled face revealed a thoughtful look:
"What does this have to do with banknotes?"
Xu Yuan tidied the desk, took out a stack of one thousand taels of silver notes from the Xumi Ring, put it in his hand and fanned it:
"It has been more than 800 years since Emperor Qi Dian issued silver notes. Nowadays, it has become a custom to settle goods sales with silver notes issued by the imperial court. The sect has held so many Tianyuan Competitions, so it must have made some plans. .”
Speaking of which,
Xu Yuan's voice was serious: "We must prepare in advance to deal with the impact, at least to ensure the stability of prices in Zhoufu controlled by the imperial court."
Hua Hong frowned and stared at Xu Yuan:
"You mean the sect will issue new banknotes?"
Xu Yuan pointed to the thousand taels of silver notes in his hand:
"If we don't get rid of the imperial court's banknotes, once a fight breaks out, the sect will have to bleed blood to help the imperial court pay the bill. There are many smart people in the world, and it is impossible for the sect not to consider it."
Hua Hong exhaled a long breath, with a hint of gloom between his brows:
"Changtian, I have actually discussed this matter you mentioned with my staff many times. What is your opinion on this?"
Xu Yuan was a little surprised when he heard this.
Currency has not yet formed a system in this era. Unexpectedly, Hua Hong could see this.
The person sitting in this position is definitely not mediocre.
But ask him if he can solve it?
He can handle shit.
Xu Yuanguang spread his hands and smiled:
"I don't know. I'm just reminding you that the specific matters need to be handled by professionals like Mr. Hua."
After all,
Xu Yuan walked closer and patted Hua Hong, an old man who was over a hundred years old, on the shoulder:
"But my suggestion is to store more physical silver and gold. There will definitely be a run at that time. At least the prices in the area controlled by the imperial court must be stabilized."
The next day, noon.
The mist of going to bed late made Xu Yuan sleep until three o'clock in the morning.
As soon as he opened his eyes in a daze, Xu Yuan heard a rustling voice coming from his bedside:
"woke up?"
"." Xu Yuan glanced sideways.
A stunningly beautiful face came into view.
Li Qingyan moved a chair and sat beside his bed with his arms folded.
Xu Yuan sat up silently and looked at the woman in front of him with heroic features and a smile on her lips, her eyes alert:
"How did you get in?"
Li Qingyan’s beautiful eyes smiled:
"Of course I walked in. You look good sleeping."
"This inner court"
"Xu Gong allowed it."
Li Qingyan pursed his lips and smiled: "After all, I am also the future daughter-in-law of your Xu family."
Xu Yuan glanced at her, said nothing, pulled back the quilt, and stood up.
At noon in early summer, birds chirping accompanied by sunlight streaming in from the window.
Li Qingyan, who was sitting by the bed, shrank his pupils and subconsciously looked away.
Xu Yuan looked a little confused when he saw it, glanced down, and immediately understood, he chuckled:
"Hey, princess, are you looking shy?"
Li Qingyan looked back, narrowed his eyes slightly, crossed his legs, swayed his slender legs, and looked straight:
"Do you think I am shy?"
"."
Xu Yuan stared at her seriously for two seconds and said with a smile:
"It's not shy."
"Ah"
"Probably scared."
"." Li Qingyan.
Wearing loose pajamas, he walked to the table. Xu Yuan poured himself a cup of tea to wake himself up. He looked back at the charming girl who was still sitting by the bed and said:
"Princess, are you still here because you want to help my husband change his clothes?"
"."
Li Qingyan exhaled, stood up, stared at Xu Yuan for two seconds, snorted coldly, turned around and walked out of the door.
"."
Standing there and watching the graceful figure leave, Xu Yuan shook his head boredly:
"Tsk, I can't stand it any longer. I'm not as good as Su Jinxuan in Taoism. It's really boring."
"Whoosh——"
A piece of gravel suddenly broke through the air and flew past the pajamas, bringing with it a chill.
After getting dressed, Xu Yuangang stepped out of the wing and saw Li Qingyan standing in the courtyard looking at the koi in the pond in a daze.
Taking a deep breath, Xu Yuan walked to her side.
Li Qingyan glanced at him with a pair of phoenix eyes:
"Husband-in-law, who is the Su Jinxuan you just mentioned? Last time you told me that she was one of the friends who needed a night party?"
Xu Yuan smiled softly when he heard this:
"She shouldn't be able to beat you."
"Really?" Li Qingyan chuckled, his voice neither cold nor indifferent: "Don't say it so harshly, I have always been very generous. If the concubine wants to take a concubine after marriage, it is not impossible to discuss."
Xu Yuan shook his head when he heard this:
"Princess, you have misunderstood. Su Jinxuan is just a partner of this young master, and is not considered a beauty."
Li Qingyan narrowed his eyes:
"So, does the consort have other beauties?"
Xu Yuan thought for a moment and realized that he had nothing to hide from the married princess, and said with a smile:
"Don't be so jealous. After so many years, I will naturally have one or two beauties."
"."
Li Qingyan took a deep breath without any waves in his chest:
"So, Ran Qingmo is not the only one?"
"Although I have no memory, she should be considered a beauty."
Xu Yuan nodded and said with a smile: "You should be able to see her then, but you shouldn't be able to defeat her."
Li Qingyan raised his slender jade hand, bursts of energy bloomed in it, and said with a smile:
"I can't beat you?"
"Jiantian Pavilion Saint, can you defeat her?"
"." Li Qingyan.
