Wen Wan talked to the emperor about the bank in the imperial study, saying that it had expanded almost completely, and that it would meet her expectations in another year: "Uncle Emperor, do you think the bank should be merged into the treasury." "Wen Wan's previous meaning was that she wanted to merge the bank into the treasury and belong to the Guo family. But after experiencing several princes' plots to seize the trading house, Wen Wan wavered in this idea. If it is incorporated into the state treasury, it is a state-owned asset, ♀ and whether the bank can keep it is really two theories. If it is merged, it will be eaten up by those people at that time, and Wen Wan will not be able to interfere if she wants to. Wen Wan was very distressed just thinking about her watching her hard work being eaten like fat, and then she couldn't see anything.

The Emperor pondered for a moment and said, "What do you think? Previously, Wen Wanyou proposed to separate the silver from the ledger, so as to prevent officials from embezzling and paying taxes. The emperor has not expressed his position before, also because Wen Wan's specific plan has not been proposed. Moreover, he thinks that the gentle conception is good. But it is very difficult to implement. Whether to be corrupt or not, the system is important, and the means are also necessary. But the real root lies in the person sitting on the dragon chair.

Wen Wan expressed her worries: "I originally wanted to merge the bank into the household department. But now it seems that if it is merged into the household department, the bank's annual interest of several million taels will be equivalent to a big piece of fat, and everyone wants to take a bite. My identity is not suitable for meddlers at that time. So, I think it's better not to incorporate now. "Corruption has often happened over the years, and Wen Wan is not at ease with those officials in the officialdom, plus that group of princes who are eyeing each other. Now the bank is her private property in her hands, and if she wants to, it is tantamount to offending her, and these people naturally dare not act rashly. But if it becomes a member of the imperial court. Those who do it will certainly not be soft-hearted. When the time comes, the banks will fail. That was completely contrary to her original intentions.

With the events of the last time, the emperor was even more wary of several princes. And if the bank is incorporated into the treasury, it is no longer private property, and the interest is no longer in his small treasury. Take money from the treasury. Where is it convenient to withdraw money from your own pocket: "Then don't merge." At least not for now. "The emperor's thoughts, at least not in his lifetime. With these industries, he will not worry about money in his life. You can spend it however you want. There is no need to be afraid of impeachment by the imperial history, and there is no need to be annoyed by the people below.

After saying this, he talked about another thing: "Uncle Emperor, the bank's affairs are almost over. I plan to expand my business. Wen Wan's plan is also to open a few more branches, at least in a few prosperous cities.

After Wen Wan transferred other properties to Yu Feiyang, she always paid attention to it, and often raised some opinions. The four industries except for the villa need the right time, place and people, and it is not so easy to build. The branches of the other three industries, restaurants, Yiyuan, and auction houses, have expanded rapidly. And it was profitable that year. The second year, it was back to basics.

With these experiences, it is not a big deal to expand the trading house. Of course, Wen Wan's so-called expansion of the trading houses is actually to let these trading houses play the role of ♀ those large wholesalers in modern times, so that goods from different places can circulate everywhere under the operation of the trading houses, and the trading houses can make money and the local economy can be stimulated, which is the best of both worlds.

The Emperor listened to the gentle idea. Nodding frequently: "Very good." "If the firm can play the role of gentleness, then there will be more taxes in the future.

Wen Wan said this to the emperor, not just to let the emperor know in his heart, but to let the emperor agree. In the future, it will be convenient for her to act.

After talking about business, we talked about government affairs, and talked about government affairs. Talked about military affairs. Of course, the emperor told Wen Wan about leading troops to fight, and Wen Wan was not interested. Not to mention giving opinions. What the emperor said this time was that the process of developing and making new types of weapons was not going well: "The new type of weapons came out last year. But it hasn't achieved the desired effect, and now it's been trial and error. "The emperor has put a lot of pressure on the people below, but it just can't work, the emperor is very anxious!

Wen Wan laughed: "Uncle Emperor, I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry." If you look at my watch workshop and pearl farm, it took me ten years for them to get up. Your development of weapons is more complicated, and three years is not a long time. You have to give them confidence and encourage them appropriately. Otherwise, the pressure is too great, and it will be counterproductive to dare to run with the horse all the time. "As long as the imperial court has money to supply, let them develop slowly, and they will always produce results.

The Emperor nodded frequently. After Wen Wan finished speaking, she asked Wen Wan if she could give some advice, Wen Wan shook her head: "Uncle Emperor, I like this line of business because I do business, and I am reluctant to give some advice on government affairs." If you're going to ask me to do this, I don't know anything about this. You'll spare me. ”

The emperor smiled, and he didn't force Wen Wan ♀ to let no one disturb the emperor, and Wen Wan couldn't slip away if she wanted to. As for the emperor, he talked with Wen Wan and talked about personal matters again: "Wen Wan, if they were all like you, my uncle's head wouldn't hurt so much." As soon as he thought of the embarrassing Sicong, the emperor was in a bad mood.

Wen Wan was stunned, and thought that the emperor didn't care about Cong's affairs. I didn't expect to be able to hold it for so long, it's not easy! But it's hard to talk about this topic gently. Although Wen Wan often chatted with Xia Yao and Xia Ying about gossip, she gossiped in front of the emperor, and it was also the gossip of the emperor's daughter. She just didn't have the brains to say it. Wen Wan could only say dryly: "Uncle Emperor, Long gave birth to nine sons, and the nine sons are different. Everyone has their own strengths and weaknesses. Besides, I think the third prince is capable and filial. Uncle Emperor, you say yes! "Not only the three princes, but now the seven princes and the nine princes below have also risen. And all of them don't act stupid.

In her heart, Wen Wan felt that there were not many children, but fine. One or two children, put all your energy on them, and no matter how much they grow up, they will not be much worse. However, when there are many children, not only the parents' energy is limited, but there will be many disputes when they grow up. Especially the royal family, it is a history of blood and tears. Of course, this is what Wen Wan thinks in her ♀ heart, an era that pays attention to having many children and grandchildren, not to mention other people, even Bai Shinian was ecstatic to know that she gave birth to two sons. It is conceivable that if he gave birth to two daughters, Bai Shinian would not be so happy.
