Zhu Qianzhen was both excited and worried when she heard that Zhao Xu was really going to send these Jiaozi out.

Jiaozi can be said to be notorious, in the past, it was a tool for the court to collect money, and the gentry and the people hated it, which is also one of the reasons why the court Jiaozi was abandoned.

If this is sent out, what will the officials of the imperial court think? The royal ticket number, which was originally developing in a low-key manner, was afraid that it would be pushed to the cusp of the storm.

He thought so in his heart that he didn't dare to say it. It's been such a long time, and he knows very well that the official family attaches great importance to this Jiaozi.

Zhao Xu is not very satisfied with the anti-counterfeiting technology of this version of Jiaozi, but it has just come out, and it will not be circulated in the market.

After Zhao Xu put it down, he looked at Zhu Qianzhen and said with a smile: "Good job, are there any problems recently?" ”

Zhu Qianzhen stood respectfully beside Zhao Xu, thought for a while, and said: "Official, everything is going according to plan, but at present, the ticket number has been losing money, although the amount is not large, but the profit is even less......"

Zhao Xu picked up the teacup and said with a smile: "Don't worry, you will find out how to make money in the future." What needs to be done now is to expand the reputation of the ticket number and increase the circulation of copper coins and banknotes. The expansion of the ticket number should be more rapid, and it will take two years to expand to all the prefectures, and the money in the tangerine peel and the inner treasury cannot wait for rust, and it will be allocated if it is lacking here......"

Chen Pi kept listening, and when Zhao Xu spoke, he responded and said, "Official, I have to go to the martial arts academy later." ”

Zhao Xu shook his head and said, "There is also a dinner party with Su Xianggong in the evening." Shopkeeper Zhu, that's it, what's the matter, you call the ninth brother to come to the palace. ”

"Yes." Zhu Qianzhen said.

Zhao Xu picked up the folding fan and got up and walked out of the royal ticket number.

A row of carriages had already loaded the copper coins outside, Zhao Xu did not get into the carriage, explained a few words, and continued to walk south, turning to the martial arts academy.

More than a dozen big carriages, with 300,000 yuan, rushed to the direction of the palace. The big box of handovers was also handed over to the plainclothes guards.

In a restaurant not far from the royal ticket number, the young man who had just left stood at the window, seeing that the money had really been taken away, he still said to himself with some disbelief: "Isn't it for me to see?" ”

Behind him stood a short old man, with a goatee, touching himself and saying, "Young owner, whether it is yes or no, let's put some money to test the water, if this ticket number is really as Qi said, we will never lose." ”

The young man snorted, his face was still puzzled, and said, "You can make money in and out, is there such a good thing in the world?" Have you found out that they have indeed been losing money? ”

The little old man affirmed: "Yes, indeed." They are trying to establish a branch in the other three capitals, as well as several counties under the jurisdiction of Kaifeng Prefecture, only the money is out, the interest rate is so low, and the return is slow, it is impossible to make money. ”

The young man thought more and more, saw Zhao Xu's back disappear, and said, "Is it the King of Daning County in the palace?" ”

The little old man said, "Yes." I asked Shopkeeper Liu in Hangzhou to save some money before, and I saw it, indeed. In addition, I heard that the king of Daning County is old and is going to leave the palace to be crowned king. ”

The prince of the Great Song Dynasty will leave the palace when he reaches a certain age, and he will be crowned a prince, plus some messy titles.

When Zhao Xu came to the Martial Academy, General Xu was already waiting.

He walked in with Zhao Xu without alarming anyone.

Zhao Xu looked at the field not far away, there was a team of young people running exercises, and said with a smile: "It looks good." ”

There were twelve of them for the young men, who were energetic, moved neatly, and shouted clear and powerful slogans.

General Xu followed Zhao Xu and said, "In the official family, in the martial arts academy, there are more than 500 teachers and students, and there are more than 300 students. This is a place for drills, and there is a small horse training ground not far away, swords, guns, swords, halberds, etc. There are dormitories, a cafeteria, and a library...... This is where professors, doctors, and all kinds of professional horse masters and archers live......"

General Xu introduced in detail that the martial arts courtyard was temporarily rebuilt and integrated many private houses, so it looked quite simple and there was no plan for its location.

Zhao Xu kept nodding, and a rough outline gradually appeared in his heart.

Kaifeng really isn't a suitable place.

Kaifeng City is too small, and Kaifeng City is surrounded by mountains and rivers, which is not suitable for doing too many things.

One day in the future, if he can change places, then this martial arts academy, Zhao Xu will definitely build a broad, majestic, and capable of cultivating tens of thousands of people every year!

General Xu didn't know what Zhao Xu was thinking, so he came to a courtyard and said to Zhao Xu: "Official, this is a special courtyard for weapons and other research. Armor, weapons, firearms, etc. are fully included, but due to the small place, it is inconvenient to use, and it also affects teaching, so it is only temporarily placed here, and after next year, the minister plans to open up some places outside the city for gunpowder tests, equestrian training, and small-scale actual combat exercises......

Zhao Xu nodded, saw a group of students running around in circles, and said with a smile: "These are the baby bumps of the future, at this time, you can be a little ruthless." For outstanding talents, those with potential, don't stick to their background, some bad deeds in the past are willing to change, let's give them all opportunities, whether they can go to the end, it's up to them......"

General Xu hurriedly said: "The ministers also think so. At present, there are three directions for students to choose, one is to be recommended by the local government, one is to be selected from the young scholars by the martial arts academy, and the third is to be selected from the Xiang army and the forbidden army...... The semester is tentatively set for three years, and after three years, they will be sent to the armies for training......"

Zhao Xu is also the dean of this martial arts academy, and listened: "Well, follow the plan, and make adjustments when you encounter problems." As for the locality, there are too many things this year, so let's do it for now. Let's take a walk around first, and then I will take the teachers and students to the cafeteria, and I will accompany them to eat. ”

Xu Jiang said: "Does the official family want to lecture?" ”

Since Xuandemen's speech, Zhao Xu has gradually had a tendency to be mythologized, and it is difficult for outsiders to see it, and there are more and more legends, which are very mysterious.

Zhao Xu thought for a while and said with a smile: "No need, this kind of thing, once is enough, but more is worthless." Just eat together, they eat theirs, we eat ours. ”

Xu Jiang thought and said, "Then, do you want to call out the actual managers of the Martial Academy?" ”

Zhao Xu said: "I just came to take a look today, no need to make a fuss." When eating, have a chat. ”

As Zhao Xu spoke, he saw a little guy about ten years old, waving a horsewhip, whistling past not far away, still screaming in his mouth, and he couldn't be excited.

Behind him, several other guards followed on horseback, looking like guards.

Zhao Xu raised his eyebrows and said, "Does Zhao seem to be like this on weekdays?" Is he here the little bully? ”

General Xu hesitated, but still said: "Official, not long ago, His Royal Highness the Thirteenth fell and was injured, the concubine and the queen were very concerned, and summoned the ministers, and the concubine Niangniang specially instructed the ministers to take care of His Royal Highness the Thirteen, not to work too hard, let alone so much." ”

Xu Jiang's words are thorough, Zhao seems to be in Zhao Xu's father and mother, and he can write poems and songs in the future, but he will not get involved in the court situation, and he does not need to have too much ability.

Too many abilities, that's a talisman!

Zhao Xu didn't know these things, looked at Zhao who was still whistling on the horse, and said, "Evacuate everyone to me, and in the future, the thirteen will honestly attend classes and train." You, get a Boy Scout, stuff Thirteen in, don't reveal his identity, and don't take special care. ”

General Xu listened to the words 'Boy Scout', his eyes lit up slightly, and he said: "What the official said is that Weichen will prepare later." ”
