"Ten million taels?!"

Emperor Hongzhi was a little stunned, and he secretly thought to himself, this bank, I'm afraid it will be difficult to do it alone with his internal funds.

"So be it! I took out 4 million taels, accounting for 40% of the shares, the prince took out 3 million taels, accounting for 30% of the shares, and the remaining 30%, do you think you want to take them all? ”

Seventy-three has almost become an inertia of Emperor Hongzhi, maybe he thinks that this ratio is an auspicious number, so basically when it comes to the distribution of equity, the first thing he thinks of is seventy-three.

"Your Majesty, you can't favor one over the other!"

Zhang Mao was optimistic about the future of the bank, so when Emperor Hongzhi asked Li Zhaotong if he wanted to take them all, Zhang Mao immediately quit, he didn't want to spend more money to buy shares in the future.

"Aren't you against a whipping law, English duke? This bank was set up to solve the dilemma of my lack of silver in the Ming Dynasty, and then fully implement a whip law! ”

Li Zhao was young and frivolous in the same year, and his temper was not good, Zhang Mao fiercely opposed a whip method he proposed before, although Zhang Mao said that it was critical, but this "hatred", Li Zhaotong wrote it down, so even if Li Zhaotong hoped to pull more people into the chariot, he still couldn't help but say a few words to Zhang Mao.

Zhang Mao is quite thick-skinned, and he is not angry when Li Zhaotong is so scolded.

Because, whether he can take a stake in the bank is not only related to his income, but more importantly, it is related to his right to speak in the bank in the future, and then it is related to whether the Governor's Office of the Five Armed Forces can borrow money in the bank safely, and finally whether their military generals can regain military power from the civilian officials!

Therefore, even if Zhang Mao was uncomfortable with Li Zhaotong in his heart, he still smiled on his face, and said to Li Zhaotong with a pleasant face:

"Virtuous nephew! One yard to one yard! I'm not wrong, do you think I'm not short of silver? So, I am right to oppose the introduction of a whip law now!

As for the future, I'm old, and you're still young, so if you want to promote it in the future, I can't object to it, can I? ”

"Oh."

Li Zhaotong replied with an expressionless face, he knew what Zhang Mao had in mind.

After thinking about it, Li Zhaotong didn't embarrass Zhang Mao anymore, after all, Zhang Mao had already put his posture very low, and it would be a bit too much for him to scold him again, after all, his chariot still needs to pull Zhang Mao, a high-ranking and powerful national prince, up.

Therefore, Li Zhaotong thought about it and said:

"That's it, the remaining thirty percent of the shares, I will pay one million taels, accounting for one percent, after all, this bank, no one else knows much, and I still need to set it up, I need to occupy the shares to get the right to speak, otherwise I will not be able to participate.

The other two percent, one of which is divided between the British Duke and those military generals and nobles, a total of one million taels, and the other one is ......."

Speaking of this, Li Zhaotong looked at Liu Jian and Xie Qian and asked:

"Gong Liu, Gong Xie, are you two interested in this shares?"

"Of course I'm interested!"

Liu Jian quickly answered.

Liu Jian was born in a big family, as early as the end of the Yuan Dynasty, his great-grandfather Liu Shaozu was the official to the head of Shunde Road, and after his death, he was posthumously presented with the special Jin Guanglu doctor, Zuo Zhuguo, the young master and the prince and the prince, the official department of Shangshu, and the scholar of the Huagai Palace.

Therefore, Liu Jian's family is very rich, and taking out one million silver, for Liu Jian, the pressure is really not great.

As for Xie Qian, he is also from a big family, although his grandfather was not a high official, and his father was not very famous, but he is from the Jiangnan region, and it is also one of the richest places in the Jiangnan region - Shaoxing Mansion, Zhejiang, so the wealth accumulated by the Xie family for three generations is definitely a lot!

Therefore, Xie Qian said the same sentence "Of course interested" almost at the same time as Liu Jian.

Both of them are very clear-headed, and they know very well how important it is to have a stake in the bank for the right to speak in the future, so when there is no shyness in their pockets, they naturally choose to agree without hesitation.

"Okay, then the shares of this will be distributed by Liu Gong and Xie Gong, and you will also need to come up with a million taels of silver at that time.

The issue of equity distribution is settled, and next, it is time to discuss the name of the bank and the name of the new Daming treasure banknote!

Your Majesty, what do you think is the right name? ”

"The bank is called Daming Royal Bank!"

Since Emperor Hongzhi tasted the sweetness of the royal name, he fell in love with the word royal for the naming of the new commercial house, so he almost blurted out the name of the Ming Royal Bank.

"What do you think of this name?"

It's just a name, Liu Jian and the others are not because they stand on the opposite side of Emperor Hongzhi, and besides, the ring of the royal named firm has been broken, so they will let it go if they use the royal name firm.

Therefore, Liu Jian and others nodded one after another, saying that the name of Daming Royal Bank was good.

The name of the bank has been finalized, and the next thing is the name of the new Daming treasure banknote, Emperor Hongzhi thought about it, and then said with some hesitation:

"How about calling it a Daming Silver Ticket?"

"Not really."

Li Zhaotong thought for a moment, frowned and said:

"Your Majesty, in the future, the Daming Royal Bank will definitely accept not only silver, but also copper coins!

After all, many people in the Ming Dynasty now have no silver in their hands at all, they only have copper money in their hands, and the bank must provide them with services.

Therefore, in order to take care of these ordinary people, we cannot use the name silver to restrict the development and change of the new Daming treasure banknote. ”

The purchasing power of silver in this era was very strong.

For example, Li Zhaotong wrote in "Dream of Red Mansions" in his "memory":

Wang Xifeng gave Grandma Liu twenty taels of silver, and these twenty taels of silver made Grandma Liu, who didn't even have winter clothes, live a good life, and it was enough for him for a year, this purchasing power is strong enough, right? !

Some people may think that "Dream of Red Mansions" is a book, which should be the author's casual nonsense!

But in fact, Cao Xueqin has never been nonsense at all.

The numbers he wrote should not exist and he randomly pulled them out.

After all, when Cao Xueqin wrote "Dream of Red Mansions", his family was on the verge of collapse.

Therefore, Cao Xueqin should be very clear about the prices at that time.

After all, the Cao Mansion has declined, and if Cao Xueqin still spends money lavishly, then he may really starve to death.

In the era when Cao Xueqin lived, a lot of silver had been imported into China, and silver had depreciated, but silver was still strong enough, and twenty taels of silver was enough for ordinary people like Grandma Liu who didn't even have winter clothes to live a good life for a year.

You can see how strong the purchasing power of silver is!

The people of the Ming Dynasty are bitter, and the purchasing power of silver is so strong, which means that there is basically no silver in their hands, and most of them have only copper coins.

Because they want to earn silver taels, it's really not that simple!

Therefore, the name of Daming Silver Ticket is really inappropriate, which will limit the development potential of Daming Royal Bank!

"It's because I didn't think about it, I only thought that the silver of the Ming silver bill came from the bank's son, and I didn't take into account the silver of the silver."

Emperor Hongji had a good attitude.

"What's that called?"

"How about calling it Daming banknotes?" Liu Jian asked tentatively.

"It's not good, as long as the four words of this Ming banknote are abbreviated, it is a Ming coin, and the homophony is very similar - the underworld coin, which is very unlucky!"

Li Zhaotong immediately objected!

Li Zhaotong had already considered the name of the Ming banknote, and it was because of the homophonic stalk that he did not bring it up uninterestingly.

Now that Liu Jian mentioned it, he stood up to express his opposition and mentioned the reason.

"Why don't you call it a Ming banknote?"

Liu Jian came up with an idea, and Zhang Mao did not show weakness, and quickly thought of the term Daming treasure banknote.

"No, it's so cheesy!"

Before Li Zhaotong raised an objection, Emperor Hongzhi first vetoed it,

"Moreover, the name of the Daming treasure banknote and the Daming banknote are similar, which is detrimental to us to win back the trust of the people, so I think this name is inappropriate."

"Your Majesty, then what name should we give to this new Da Ming treasure banknote?"

"Your Majesty, then what name should we give to this new Da Ming treasure banknote?"

Liu Jian and Zhang Mao asked this sentence almost at the same time.

"Nephew, you come and think of one."

Emperor Hongzhi couldn't think of it, so he threw the pot to Li Zhaotong.

Li Zhaotong pondered for a moment, and then suggested:

"Your Majesty, or we don't have to worry about whether to name the word Daming, because once these two words are named, homophonic stalks are easy to appear, and then it is really difficult to choose a name."

"Don't name the word Daming......"

Emperor Hongzhi pondered for a moment,

"Okay! Do you have any good names in mind? ”

Li Zhaotong wanted to answer RMB, but the river crab beast glanced at him, and he immediately relented and changed his words:

"Just call the money ticket, how about it?"

"Just call for a money ticket?"

Emperor Hongzhi thought for a while, and he didn't want to waste his precious time on this trivial matter, so he said directly:

"Okay, then it's just called "money ticket"! ”

"Then Your Majesty, the matter of this bank is probably over, let's go back to the 'one whip law', Beijing, Triangle Lake, Tianjin Wei, there has been a depreciation of silver, do you agree to try to implement the 'one whip law' in these three places?"

Li Zhaotong still remembered the "One Whip Law", so he said that the matter about the bank was almost finished, and he reminded Emperor Hongzhi that he had not yet made a decision!

"Let's try it! The scope of the trial is the same as the abolition of the armor protection system, and it will be set in Beizhili! ”

After getting out of the bank, Emperor Hongzhi had no worries, so he readily agreed.

……

"Boom—"

Emperor Hongzhi and others stayed in Triangle for three days, and they did not leave immediately, for two reasons:

First, Emperor Hongzhi finally came out once, and wanted to observe the situation of Triangle Lake and Tianjin Wei;

The second is that the weather has been very gloomy in the past two days, and it is not suitable for hurrying, and Li Zhaotong said to Emperor Hongzhi that it is time to accept some achievements related to the Ming royal guards.

Therefore, Emperor Hongzhi patiently stayed.

It was overcast for two days, and the rain was finally about to fall, when the sky was thundering.

Needless to say, it's sure to be a pouring rain!

Daming Royal Military Guard School Field.

"Raise soldiers for a thousand days, use soldiers for a while! Brothers of the Ming Royal Guard, the time has come for Your Majesty to need you! Tell me, are you ready?! ”

Li Zhaotong held a loudspeaker and stood on a high platform to shout.

"Always be ready!"

"That's good, everyone pack up, everyone go to the prison to get a coat, and then set off immediately."

Although these soldiers on the school field are carefully selected from the army of the Son of Heaven, these soldiers are basically from Beijing, and most of them have never been on the battlefield, so seeing that it is about to rain heavily, Li Zhaotong asked them to set off immediately, Rao is that they have a loyal and firm heart, and they can't help but flicker their eyes.

For a while, the atmosphere in the school field was a little solemn.

Li Zhaotong felt this kind of solemnity, what he needed was this kind of solemnity.

That's why he didn't say what he was going to do this time.

Now, seeing that these people were solemn, he smiled slightly, and then revealed the mystery:

"Don't worry, I have been ordered by His Majesty to gather you, not to take you to the battlefield, but to take you on a mission!

This task is extremely important and very arduous, so you still have to look at this task as a vicious battle on the spot, and you must have a heart that dares to sacrifice.

Do you understand?! ”

"Got it!!"

Hearing that they didn't go to the battlefield, these officers and soldiers of the Ming Royal Guard breathed a sigh of relief, so at this moment, their response was like thunder, and the momentum was like a rainbow!

However, Li Zhaotong, who was not a good person who sang blackface, picked up the speaker, turned up the volume to the highest, and shouted:

"You know the! Lao Tzu didn't even say what the task was, what are you excited about? Rushing to die? I tell you, I hope that each of you will have a heart that dares to sacrifice, but daring to sacrifice is not the same as blindly sending you to death!

I don't want you to die blindly!

Including His Majesty, including the crown prince, I don't want either!

Why?

Because Your Majesty and the Crown Prince, how much money they have invested on you, how much effort they have put into you, you will calculate it yourself, you are blindly sending you to death, are you worthy of Your Majesty and the Crown Prince?

Therefore, I still hope that while you are fighting this evil battle, you must protect yourself and the people as much as possible, as for other money and property, it is all external things.

It's important to save your life, got it?! ”

"Understood."

They were all moved and did not dare to speak out loud, for fear that Li Zhaotong, an unworthy man, would come to pour a basin of cold water on him.

However, this time, Li Zhaotong didn't intend to reverse, so seeing that these people were holding back the enthusiasm in their hearts and didn't dare to answer too excitedly, his face darkened, and then he picked up the horn turned up to the highest volume and shouted:

"I ask you do understand? Be louder, haven't you eaten? ”
