Chapter 179: Tokyo's Last Dream 1

"Sir, we can't give up because of our shortcomings, and we can't take advantage of the cold in vain after planting trees, they must solve the problem, and eating ready-made meals will make people unenterprising." 』”

Zhong Liqiu understands what Wang Xiu means very well, he also understands that there is no such thing as perfection, and no matter how meticulous the plan is, there are flaws, just as he manipulated the reform of the salt law and money law in order to solve the financial crisis, which played a great role, and sufficient money and silk played a decisive role in carrying out party projects, but it also caused the adverse reaction of the rich country and the poor people, making the sharp society since Xining's reform more acute, and it could not be reversed in the end, otherwise he would not have taken the blame and retreated.

Wang Xiu's banking plan made his eyes shine, it was a leap forward on the basis of private pledge lending, which was more perfect than the former Tang Feiqian and the Jiaozi of this dynasty, especially the financial derivative theory, which combined the pledge bank with Jiaozi, so that he could see the solution to the problems that plagued the rulers of the past dynasties.

The three major difficulties of using troops, governing rivers, and disaster relief in the past dynasties have stumped many handsome people, which is nothing more than limited financial resources, no matter how rich the world is, taxes are limited, and the treasury is also limited.

Banks control private capital, especially the development of commercial capital, and eventually form a financial flow, using everyone's money for one thing, without raising taxes or increasing taxes, and the people who save money are taking risks, but their returns are also rich.

It is conceivable that under the absolute pressure of money, any obstacle is a chicken, a dog, and hard consumption is also consumed by money.

"Sir, the purpose of the establishment of the Office is to plunder the wealth of the world, the South China Sea and the East China Sea are rich in gold, silver, and spices, and they are simply full of gold. Wang Xiu slowly tried his thoughts, which he had never said.

"Therefore, the students built yì imperial court to set up a guard navy, and the maritime merchant case, the bank, and the guard navy are like a troika, invincible."

Zhong Liqiu is a wise man, and he fully understands what Wang Xiu means, the maritime business case actually controls foreign sea and land trade, in fact, what is not said is that this yamen is relatively independent outside the public office, and it is the planning agency responsible for overseas plunder, just like the human brain, the guards and the bank are on their legs, feet and torso, holding a sword in one hand and a scale in the other, you do business honestly, let me earn all my wealth, otherwise I will use the three-foot Qingfeng to get the one I want.

Thinking of this, he was excited, as a literati, he was definitely a Confucian in the true sense, and a Confucian in the pre-Qin era, holding a sage book in his hand, hanging three feet from his waist, and said: "Your idea is very good, but unfortunately it is difficult to realize." ”

"Sir." Wang Xiu smiled faintly and said, "Mr. also said just now, Mr. You's maritime case and Jiangning Industrial and Commercial Bank will never let Cai You mess around." ”

Zhong Liqiu bowed his head slowly and said playfully: "That's what I said, but a piece of gold ingot, it's not Cai You who is the one who beat his idea." ”

Wang Xiu's face was also very solemn, the office had just set up the platform, Cai You jumped out to fight for power and profit, if the bank obtained rich benefits, I am afraid that even Zhao Ji would be red-eyed, and the intervention of these laymen was definitely a catastrophe.

"Sir, can the bank run slowly?"

"It's unlikely, some things can't stop once they start, they put their money in it, it's just to get profits, if the bank's cost is too high and the profit is too low, I'm afraid there will be unpredictable variables at that time." Zhong Liqiu couldn't agree, as he operated for a few months, he got to know the bank more and more, and while marveling at what Wang Xiu knew and didn't know, he had a deep sense of powerlessness about the bank's terrifying operation ability.

"In that case, then we have to persevere, grit our teeth and hold on." Wang Xiu had a hint of determination on his face, and he didn't let outsiders intervene in advance.

Zhong Liqiu shook his head, picked up the cup and took a sip of wine, and said solemnly: "It's not proper, there are only officials in the world for a lifetime, and there are no iron-clad officials, so it's better to leave early in the eventful autumn." ”

Wang Xiu pondered a little and asked: "Mr. is too high-minded to have them, Wang Hao and Li Bangyan all rely on excellent means, if you want to talk about real skills, they really don't have a few taels." ”

"Wenshi, don't underestimate the heroes of the world, you will suffer." Zhong Liqiu disagreed with Wang Xiu's statement, and said: "Wang Hao went from relying on Cai Xianggong to take the throne to being evil with Cai Xianggong, not only was he not taken down by Cai Xianggong, but he became more and more powerful. ”

"You can imagine that maybe they can't govern the country through the state, but they are all perfect in fighting for power and profit, and if you want to fight with them, you can't lack qualifications and means, and the favor of the Son of Heaven can't be missing."

Wang Xiu was silent, he admitted that Zhong Liqiu was right, he could not compare with these elites in terms of qualifications and means. In the matter of Emperor Maode, Zhao Ji's favor is not there, and there is also a gap between him and Cai Jing, the conflict of interests is so cruel, there are not so many tricks, you don't have anything to impress others, who wants to pay attention to you

However, there is still a fierce force in his chest, and he is determined not to admit defeat and is unwilling, and he finally builds a framework for the future, and he must not be in the hands of others.

"Okay, I also know that you are unwilling, as long as you do what you can, I will do my best to defend the maritime case and Jiangning Bank." Zhong Liqiu saw that Wang Xiu's face was uncertain, and sighed softly.

"Sir, I would like to give you a glass." Wang Xiu picked up the cup with a smile.

"Okay, let's have a good drink today, just talk about Fengyue." Zhong Liqiu smiled, and a large glass of wine was lowered.

Coincidentally, Wen Xijun came in with a black lacquer tray where the soup was placed, put down the plate and took out a letter from his sleeve, and said with a smile: "Official, there was a letter from the yamen outside just now. ”

Wang Xiu took it and said with a smile: "Sir, it's from Shangshui County, it seems that I should really go home and have a look." ”

Zhong Liqiu took a sip of wine and said with a smile: "Shangshui is an outstanding person, and I have to teach when I beg for bones." ”

Wen Xijun glanced at Zhong Liqiu in surprise, she was surprised by Wang Xiu's respect for Zhong Liqiu, but she obediently didn't ask more.

"Wen Niangzi, I heard that the third sister of Qin in Fan Lou knows everything about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, why didn't she come here today" Zhong Liqiu said with a smile.

"The third sister doesn't come over often, and if she has something, she goes to the shop with the slave family." Wen Xijun didn't know what Zhong Liqiu meant, so he had to answer honestly.

Wang Xiu didn't pay attention to Zhong Liqiu and Wen Xijun, he eagerly opened the letter, wanting to see the situation at home, and his face changed when he looked at it.

The next day, Yeonfu Palace.

Zhao Ji summoned Wang Xiu very unexpectedly, just in the palace Yanchun Pavilion next to the Feihua Pavilion, the pavilion is wide and exquisite, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a pavilion, there is a small round pond next to it, next to the Feihua Pavilion, there is a small lake, and an embankment is built in the lake to connect to the pavilion. Feihua Pavilion and build a wide sorghum into the lake again, set up Maoting Gate, Hezhuang Gate, Luyan Gate, Kongcui Gate on the Liang, extend to the area of Lize Gate, Jiahua famous wood, similar clustering area, Yousheng is like heaven and earth.

When Wang Xiu arrived, he was still greeted by the eunuch Zhang Di, who was a famous pimp, Zhao Ji did not appear, and he was received by the harem ladies headed by Empress Zheng, even Liu Guifei was also present, Sister Lin Yue and the princess were also present, which made his face ugly.

Zhang Di obviously saw Wang Xiu's dissatisfaction, he gave Empress Zheng and Concubine Liu a look, Empress Zheng naturally had a set of rhetoric, and Concubine Liu Guifei had no shelf.

As the Son of Heaven, you summoned your courtiers into the palace and asked your courtiers to fill in the words for your concubines, which is also ridiculous, and you really treat him as an edict for Hanlin.

"I've heard of the name of the Zhige for a long time, and I let the sixth sister get cheap last time, and I will definitely get it back today." Concubine Liu looked at Wang Xiu on the other side of the bead curtain with a pair of beautiful eyes, and her laughter was crisp and breathtaking, no wonder she was the first favorite concubine of Zhao Ji's harem.

Wang Xiu, like people who don't understand the amorous feelings, is not interested in Concubine Liu, who is drunk with a smile, and said: "The mother has talked about it, it's just a false name, and I really don't dare to be loved by the mother." ”

"Okay, don't be modest, it's because the old man can't stand their entrustment, so he invited the official family to come to Xuanzhige, and I hope Zhige will forgive me." Empress Zheng apologized one by one, but her pretty face smiled, although she said that she was in her thirties, her charm has not diminished, and she has a graceful and luxurious lady's demeanor.

Wang Xiu pursed his lips secretly, and only a master like Zhao Ji could do such a ridiculous thing and let many wives blackmail others. Thinking in his heart is one thing, but he can't shirk it on his face, he offends people too much, he said lightly: "Since Niangniang said it, the minister obeys the order." ”

There's no way, since he comes, he has to compromise and satisfy those noble ladies behind the bead curtain, he can't afford to offend these women, these noble ladies may not be able to help him with anything, but if it is bad for him, he is definitely a first-class good hand.

Empress Zheng was overjoyed, turned her face to Concubine Liu and said, "Sister, you should come first." ”

"The eldest sister is the master of the inner palace, of course she has to take the lead."

The corners of Wang Xiu's mouth twitched, what is this called, it is really green vegetables and turnips and onions, and they are humble.

Only Zhang Di's old god was always there, standing aside with a wooden face, but his slightly trembling shoulders exposed his inner thoughts.

More than 20 small words with different styles made those ladies smile and speak a lot more appropriately, especially Liu Guifei said that she was worthy of being the true monarch of Taichu, and sure enough, she had the literary brilliance of the upper realm scattered immortals, which made the corners of Zhang Di's mouth on the side twitch and almost had a stroke.

"Niangniang is a concubine of the Heavenly Palace, and the minister does not dare to let Niangniang praise her." Wang Xiu had a toothache for a while, and the good words were sprinkled without money.

Empress Zheng and Concubine Liu left satisfied, and then all the ladies left one after another according to their identities. There are many people, Sister Lin Yue glanced at Wang Xiu, smiled kindly a little, and Wang Xiu slowly bowed her head in return. Zhang Di saw it in his eyes, it was really a little tasteful, Sister Lin Yue enjoyed a good reputation in the palace, and her recognized beauty was only under Liu Guifei, but she was very good, she seemed to be very cold to Wang Xiu, but it was reasonable, she got the benefits of others and gave a smile, not too much
