Chapter 543: President of the Imperial Bank

Regarding the proposal of the National Bank of the Shenghan Empire, Zhang Xiaowu advocated the implementation with an absolute attitude, and appointed the Hubu member Wailang Mudong Hou Linfeng as the first president of the Imperial Bank. Lin Feng was surprised when he was appointed by Zhang Xiaowu, he only knew about silver villages, but not banks, but when Zhang Xiaowu explained to him the issuance of banknotes and gold and silver reserves, Lin Feng naturally realized that if the central bank was established, the control of the entire country would be even stronger.

Lin Feng was very conflicted in his heart, on the one hand, he was the deputy sect leader of the Heavenly Fire Sect, on the other hand, he was already tired of fighting and killing, and just wanted to be a Hou Ye who would enjoy eternal wealth. However, the position of president of the Imperial Bank brought him closer to the core power of the empire, and even allowed him to achieve more power than in the Heavenly Fire Sect. What the man wants is nothing more than power and wealth, Lin Feng is fifty and two this year, because of his long-term cultivation of martial arts, coupled with proper nutrition and maintenance, he looks only in his thirties, and even with his overindulgent eldest son, the two must be more like brothers.

Lin Feng is already the richest businessman in the world, with wealth that others can't reach in this life, and there is not much demand for women at his age, so he attaches more importance to power. The reason why he secretly opposed the Holy Will of the Sect Master of the Heavenly Fire Sect was because he knew that even if the Heavenly Fire Sect succeeded in founding the country, he would never give him any rights in the future, and would even "sharpen his knife to pigs and sheep", looking for an excuse to make a move against him, the richest man in the world. And with Zhang Xiaowu, not only can you get great power, but you will also whitewash your descendants, and even control all countries in the world through the Imperial Bank, what a powerful power.

"I accept." Lin Feng replied to Zhang Xiaowudao.

The two then established the framework of the Imperial National Bank, and first built a national treasury, which was undoubtedly located in the Imperial City, which had the strongest defenses in the world. As a result, construction began in and around the Imperial City, and the construction of eleven schools and the Imperial Bank began, and the first to complete the construction was the Imperial Army Non-commissioned Officer Academy. The military department bought three houses in Andingfang, and then opened up the three houses, and hastily established this school.

The so-called low-level officers refer to the schools of front-line commanders such as captains, school assistants, captains, and capital commanders, and these officers must learn military training, charge command, physical combat, camping, inspecting the enemy's situation, terrain survey, flag language, sign language, weather conditions, logistics supply, horse maintenance, military history, military records, military morale, battlefield rescue, and the national conditions of neighboring countries.

For the subjects listed by Zhang Xiaowu, the military department was also dumbfounded, as if it was useful, but also seemed to feel that it was incomprehensible, and there was a feeling of uncertainty......

"Step by step, slowly realized, first recruit eighty students." Zhang Xiaowu ordered the selection of 80 people from among the non-commissioned officers of the forbidden army and the township army, and soon 80 people were in place, and the school was officially established.

Zhang Xiaowu said to the officers: "Water is amorphous, people are uncertain, the army is impermanent, and the world's military is unpredictable. The vanguard of world change is the army, which is war, and all the social and national progress that is desired is in the military field. Therefore, we must stand on the military frontline, and we must not rely on the old to sell the old, lying on the merits of the past and pointing fingers at the young people. The purpose of the military academy is to make you the pioneers of the world. Don't always think about defending against the enemy, the best defense is to attack. ”

Zhang Xiaowu's investment in education is not limited to higher education, but also in the field of lower education, Zhang Xiaowu also tried to convert Mengyin Halls across the country into primary schools, and established an unprecedented primary and secondary education system. Of course, Zhang Xiaowu's primary and secondary schools are completely different from the modern primary and secondary education concepts of the previous life, the primary schools of the Holy Han Empire implement three years of free basic education, and after graduating from primary school, they enter middle schools for three years of fee-based education, and only students who have obtained secondary school diplomas are allowed to take the township examination.

Zhang Xiaowu then calculated, and now the silver in his hand was only three million taels, and the money that he originally planned to spend for three years was spent half of it in less than half a year.

"My lord, if you don't toss, you don't have to spend so much money, especially ...... Build so many schools. Ruan Qingwen shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Mengyin Hall was originally established by the emperor to compete for the crown prince, you don't have to pay so much attention to it, after all, the emperor's throne is now solid." ”

Zhang Xiaowu laughed and said: "As the so-called ten years of trees, a hundred years of people, for the long-term of the empire and the establishment of talents, this money is nothing." ”

Ruan Qingwen asked again: "Hu Li has completed the escort task, how can the adults place him?" ”

Zhang Xiaowu thought about it and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I'm free to use it." ”

A few days later, Hu Li, who had been idle, fought with others in the city and beat a child of the scholar clan, causing the other scholars to be furious and denounce Hu Li one after another. And Hu Li disagreed, relying on himself with more than 1,000 subordinates, threatening to fight the other party to the end. After hearing the news, Zhang Xiaowu pretended to be angry and ordered Hu Li to be demoted to serve as the deputy chief of the Longdu Mansion Patrol and Arrest, and his subordinates also entered the Longdu Mansion and rushed into the Longdu Mansion officials.

Su Yu took over as the governor of Longdu Mansion at this moment, and he was also the second time he served as the governor of Longdu Mansion, but compared to the previous time, this time he took over more calmly - because the consul was his friend Zhang Xiaowu. But Su Yu is not a master of solving cases, he can only hand over the work of solving cases to Li Chuncheng, the chief catcher of Longdu Mansion, Li Chuncheng was originally a master of rivers and lakes, and he knows much more about rivers and lakes than anyone else. At this time, Hu Li's joining also made Li Chuncheng like a fish in water, and many major cases were solved one after another, causing the people of Longdu City to call the two of them the reincarnation of Qingtian.

"This ...... Lord Shaobao ...... "Su Yu was very embarrassed when he spoke, it has only been a few years, and he has become Zhang Xiaowu's subordinate, and he is also a subordinate of his subordinates, fortunately, he had a good relationship with Zhang Xiaowu back then, and Zhang Xiaowu also used him with the intention of using acquaintances. If Su Yu has any ability, he can proudly say: "No." ”

"Today's family banquet, you still call me first, I still call you Brother Boling, what do you think?" Zhang Xiaowu asked the maid to pour wine, and then said: "I didn't mean to be the material of the central order, but I was forced by the situation and was carried to this position by everyone." ”

Su Yu said: "I heard your story from being heard, but I don't know what the truth is. ”

Zhang Xiaowu briefly recounted the process of the rebellion of King Jin, and Su Yu was dumbfounded when he heard it, and it was hard to believe that he had really killed so many rebels with one hundred. Zhang Xiaowu coughed a few times after saying a few words, and Su Yu sighed with emotion: "You are fighting so hard, you have overdrawn your life, and you have made a central order to rule the whole country, but I am afraid that it will not be good for your health." ”

Zhang Xiaowu smiled bitterly, he knew that he was already a fish swimming against the current, and if he stopped, he would be crushed by all his political enemies and even his current political allies, this is politics, cruel and ruthless politics.
