In any era, there will be no shortage of enlightened people and old-fashioned people.

At the same time, the vast majority of people will be dominated by habits, resisting all new things and resisting change.

The more and more turbulent turmoil has made the scope of Zhao Yuan's book recitation more and more extensive.

But outside of Meizhou, in general, there are far more people who criticize Zhao Yuan's knowledge system than those who regard Zhao Yuan's books as classics.

Zhao Xuezhi said that it really opened a hole in all the reading groups.

And after the news came out that Zhao Kuangyin, the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, did not go to court for a few days because of Zhao Yuan's book, this originally small opening hissed and broke the sensitive nerves of some people.

"My lord, what shall we do now?" Shao Meng, who noticed the seriousness of the matter, immediately reported the turmoil outside Meizhou about Zhao Xue to Zhao Yuan.

"As long as the channels of goods and raw materials in Meizhou are not affected, as long as the issuance of new currency in Meizhou is not affected, we will not come forward first." Zhao Yuan said.

"However, those people actually dare to curse your lord as the 'original thief', how can you bear this matter!"

"Scold a few words, and you won't lose a piece of meat, let them go."

"We don't need to make some response to this matter in the Meizhou newspaper?"

"Don't use it first, our Meizhou is already on the cusp, at this time, we have to keep a low profile."

"My subordinates understand that within Meizhou, I will send more people to strengthen the guidance of public opinion, and never let anyone destroy the good situation in Meizhou."

"That's it." Zhao Yuan nodded approvingly.

Unlike the fierce competition between outside readers, Meizhou, as the place where the incident started, fell into a completely opposite calm.

The new policy of the Assassin Mansion is affecting all aspects of Meizhou, and the orderly and rational government decrees are constantly being implemented, and Meizhou is moving firmly in a more stable direction because of the shocks caused by the new policy.

Taxes on agriculture continued to decrease, as did taxes on commerce, but the strictness of the regulations and the elimination of the privileged classes led to an increase in taxes.

The industrial transformation proposed by Zhao Yuan first started with the change of Meizhou Qianzhuang.

"Deposit money to Meizhou Bank, not only do you not need a storage fee, but the original interest will be greatly increased, a fixed deposit of 10,000 Meizhou Yuan, after a year, you can get back 10,000 500 Yuan!"

"The era of Meizhou people saving money has opened, and when you save money to Meizhou Qianzhuang, you no longer have to worry about money being stolen, robbed and damaged at home."

"Meizhou Qianzhuang saves money to give big gifts, and if you save 10,000 Meizhou yuan, you can receive a set of Zhao paper and Zhao Mo produced in Meizhou."

"Did you save money today?"

……

The change of Meizhou Qianzhuang began with the overwhelming publicity in Meizhou newspapers, and the safety of Meizhou Qianzhuang has already won the trust of people everywhere.

When the news spread that Meizhou Money Bank had greatly increased the interest rate on deposits, the people who deposited money in Meizhou Money Bank in various places became endless.

In the minds of the people, all the new Meizhou coins are issued by Meizhou Money, and if you deposit money to Meizhou Money, you will never worry that Meizhou Money will not be able to pay back at that time.

"Lord Thorn Shi, as of today, 14 percent of all the new coins issued by Meizhou Bank, including coins and banknotes, have been deposited back into the bank, and the interest we have to pay every day is already a huge amount."

"You mean, it's time for us to spend money, right?"

Zhao Yuan asked with a smile.

There is not only one person in charge of Meizhou Qianzhuang, but because of the lack of knowledge of finance and mathematics in this era, Zhao Yuan cannot find anyone who can take the lead.

Therefore, the nominal general person in charge of Meizhou Qianzhuang is Zhao Yuan himself, and the actual manager is as many as sixteen people, and Zhao Yuan has designed a layer-by-layer structure to avoid management chaos in Meizhou Qianzhuang.

"Yes, Lord Thorn Shi, we not only have to spend money, but also use this part of the money spent to earn more money back, otherwise once there is a run on Meizhou Bank, our only way is to increase the issuance of currency, but the consequences of this, Meizhou and even the entire Shu will definitely collapse."

"Yes, really good, it seems that you have carefully read the books I gave you."

"We hate to have to eat and not sleep, and we want to read those books of yours thoroughly."

"At this time, the financial attributes of Meizhou Qianzhuang are opened because Meizhou is about to usher in a huge industrial change, and I am worried that this money will not be enough to spend." Zhao Yuan smiled with relief.

"We can't figure out where in Meizhou we need to spend such a large amount of money?"

"The Assassin's Mansion is going to buy half of the shares of most of the workshops in my name." Zhao Yuan did not continue to sell Guan Zi and said.

"What workshops are there?"

"All workshops that use machinery, cement workshops, textile workshops, mining workshops, pharmaceutical workshops, furniture workshops, agricultural tool workshops, machining workshops, ......"

"So much, that's enough."

"No, it's not enough, but you don't need to know too much at this time, this reform led by the Assassin Mansion has entered the stage of actual demonstration, and you must send personnel to fully cooperate to do a good job in this large-scale industrial acquisition, and do a good job in the price evaluation ...... each workshop."

"Oh my God, Lord Thorn, we don't have enough men."

"The financial staff of each workshop will fully cooperate with you."

"Then there is no problem, with your orders, Lord Thorn Shi, it will be easier for us to do things."

……

Kaifeng City, outside the Great Song Palace, because Zhao Kuangyin did not go to court for a few days, the turmoil caused by the turmoil, caused many ministers in the court and scholars in the capital to begin to gather here to ask for their lives.

A blood letter of 10,000 words was sent to Zhao Kuangyin's desk before Zhao Kuangyin expressed his stance on Zhao Xue, who was represented by Zhao Yuan.

"Hehe, original thief, this title is quite suitable for that kid." Zhao Kuangyin smiled and put down the blood book full of blood.

"Deliver the decree and summon all the ministers to the court."

……

"Your Majesty finally heard the cry of our waiting, and finally went to court."

"We must ask for an order to severely punish the original thief."

"Prime Minister, please set an example for us, and you must ask Your Majesty to eliminate the poison of the original thief!"

"You guys, the reaction is too intense!"

"What do you mean, Prime Minister?"

"The prime minister said, you are too small to make a fuss, and everything is up to Your Majesty to decide."

"Prime Minister—"

……

The court meeting held in the palace, Zhao Kuangyin's ambiguous attitude, continued to promote the Zhao Xue turmoil, and there were more and more conflicts among the folk scholars around Zhao Xue.

A large number of young scholars who either recognized or criticized Zhao Xue, despite the coming winter cold, resolutely decided to go to Meizhou in person, with a sense of either pilgrimage or insult, to see the initiator of the turmoil, Meizhou assassin Zhao Yuan.
