Chapter 900: Daqi Bank
Hearing that Cui Wenqing didn't seem to be sure, Fu Bi felt strange in his heart and asked: "Wenqing, didn't the Hedong Bank you established at the beginning also mainly issue treasury bonds and military bonds?" Besides, all state and county banks are now engaged in the issuance of national bonds and military bonds, so is there anything wrong with that? ”
Cui Wenqing sighed lightly and said: "In fact, in my opinion, the most important responsibility of Daqi Bank is to regulate the economy and stabilize finance, you don't look at me with such puzzled eyes, remember that I have explained to you the meaning of economy and finance at the beginning, at present, the state and county banks are issuing treasury bonds on a large scale, which is completely a dangerous behavior, if it causes a run on the capital chain to break, it is easy to break out the credibility crisis of the banking industry, which will affect the survival of the entire banking industry, and the hole of the national debt deficit will become bigger and bigger. And the court will also lose its trust to the people, and you and I will all become sinners! ”
Hearing this, Fu Bi was a little nervous, and he hurriedly spoke: "Nephew Wen Qingxian, although I don't understand these things you said, but I feel very powerful, is it really dangerous to issue treasury bonds on a large scale?" ”
Cui Wenqing sighed and said: "Yes, only a planned and controlled economy is a healthy economy, and the important function of Daqi Bank is to maintain the stability of the national economy, so after I become your vice president of Laoshizi, the most important function is to regulate the bank's business, and then find a way to earn enough silver taels to achieve the trust of Anshi Xianggong." ”
Fu Bi admired Cui Wenqing's business talent incomparably, and immediately nodded and said: "Okay, anyway, as soon as you come, the official will hand over all the Daqi Bank to you, if there is anything you can do boldly, if there is a problem, the official will give it to you, understand?" ”
With Fu Bi's words, Cui Wenqing put his mind at ease, raised three fingers at him and said with a smile: "Master Fu, within three months, Xia Guan will definitely let you see what a central bank is." ”
Fu Bi smiled and said: "In this case, then without further ado, let's go to Daqi Bank together to have a look, and by the way, this official will also introduce you to colleagues." ”
Cui Wenqing replied with a smile: "But with the intention of a rich adult." ”
After finishing speaking, Fu Bi instructed the officials to prepare a carriage, and traveled with Cui Wenqing towards the outside of the palace.
Seeing that he was out of the palace gate, Cui Wenqing secretly felt strange and asked: "Lord Fu, shouldn't all the yamen of the imperial court be set up in the imperial city?" ”
Fu Bi said with a chuckle: "Since the Sui Dynasty established the three provinces and six ministries, the three provinces, six departments and nine temples are all working in the imperial city, and our Daqi is no exception, but because the Daqi Bank is just established, and the people who come to buy treasury bonds are facing it, so the political hall decided to set up the Daqi Bank in the North City." ”
"North City?" Cui Wenqing listened secretly, you must know that the North Market is the most prosperous market in Luoyang City, and it can also be regarded as the most prosperous market in the world, not to mention anything else, the price of the store alone is amazingly expensive, often a thousand dollars, Daqi Bank can be set up in it, which shows the importance of the imperial court to Daqi Bank.
And as Fu Bi said, the banking industry is facing ordinary people, if the bank is located in the imperial city, it is indeed inconvenient for the people to come to do business, so the imperial court's consideration is quite thorough.
Fu Bi sighed lightly and continued: "At present, the officials of Daqi Bank are all selected by the old man from the household department, to be honest, there are many talents, especially the current Lang Zhong Zhangdun of the Treasury Debt Department of Daqi Bank, the young man is talented, but it is a pity that he is arrogant, and he is not obedient to anyone, and often conflicts with Shangguan. ”
Zhangdu?
As soon as he heard this name, Cui Wenqing was stunned, and suddenly he had a deep sense of surprise.
In the history of the world before he traveled, when Wang Anshi was carrying out the Xining Reform, there were three important ministers under his command.
He has already known the first two Cai Qu and Lu Huiqing, and has formed a deep friendship, especially Lu Huiqing, who has become an important helper in the development of Hedong Bank.
However, I didn't expect that today, the last person's Zhang Dian also appeared so suddenly, and there was no sign at all.
Compared with Cai Qu and Lu Huiqing, Zhang Dian was too famous in the Song Dynasty, not only because Zhang Dian was born in a family, erudite and literate, handsome, arrogant and conceited, but most importantly, he had outstanding political achievements, both civil and military talents, and was tough on foreign enemies, and was known as a rare iron-blooded prime minister in the Song Dynasty.
Unexpectedly, now Zhang Dian has actually become an official of Daqi Bank and his subordinate, how can Cui Wenqing be surprised and delighted.
With such joy, the carriage was light and fast all the way, and it didn't take long for it to come to Nanshi, and after a while, it stopped in front of a majestic yamen.
This yamen is built on the side of the release pond, on one side of the sparkling pond, on the other side of the bustling commercial city, the avenue extends from south to north to the yamen gate, and the northernmost side is the towering fang wall.
From the perspective of geographical environment, it can be said that it is half deserted and half prosperous.
When Fu Bi and Cui Wenqing stepped out of the carriage, the officials of the Daqi Bank, who had already received the gift, were already waiting at the bottom of the stairs.
"Xia Guan has seen Lord Fu."
"Gentlemen are exempt." Fu Bi held his hand and pointed at Cui Wenqing and said with a smile, "This is Cui Wenqing, the vice president trusted by the imperial court, who came to take up his new post today. ”
The officials glanced at Cui Wenqing, and they were all a little surprised by his youth, and they bowed their hands and said, "My subordinates have seen Vice President Cui." ”
Cui Wenqing smiled faintly and supported each other with his hands, his expression was neither humble nor arrogant, and he looked light and light.
After entering the main hall and taking a seat, Fu Bi had the opportunity to introduce several key officials of Daqi Bank to Cui Wenqing.
At present, the internal organization of Daqi Bank is very simple, in addition to the Treasury Bond Department, the other is the Loan Department.
Lang Zhong of the loan department is named Fan Lubing, in his early forties, and he is the nephew of Fan Zhongyan, who is not smiling and has a serious expression, and the whole person looks a little dull.
When facing Cui Wenqing, Fan Lubing only introduced a few words very simply, and did not say much, obviously having some contempt for Cui Wenqing.
"Hey, why don't you see Zhang Dan, where did he go?" Only then did Fu Bi find out that Zhang Dan, the chief official of the National Debt Department, did not come, and asked loudly.
When the question fell, Cui Wenqing obviously felt that the atmosphere in the lobby suddenly became a little solemn, and it was even more uncomfortable.
Except for Fan Lubing, who still looked at Fu Bi without squinting, the eyes of the other officials were more or less evasive.
