Chapter 132: Accept a celebrity as a younger brother
Two days later, Tongzhou, the envoy of Hedong Road, and Zhe Zhao, the governor of Zhenwu Army, jointly signed an official document on the establishment of Hedong Bank.
After receiving the documents, the state capitals and county governments in various localities immediately arranged them in accordance with the specific provisions and relevant requirements above.
At the same time, two letters of sub-office Hedong Road Jingluo Mansion and Zhenwu Army Metropolitan Governor's Mansion were also sent to Luoyang by fast horses and flew to the desk of Wang Anshi, the prime minister of the political affairs hall.
The chief prime minister is generally the most respectable person, who is specifically responsible for the corresponding affairs of the government hall and is directly responsible to the Son of Heaven.
Wang Anshi is in his early fifties this year, and he is in the prime of his life to seek the country.
He wore a long-winged black gauze hat, a well-cut purple official robe, long gray hair and long beard flowing on his chest, a large bronze face with sharp edges and furrows, and two deep nasolabial folds on his cheeks made him look not angry and arrogant, and his bearing was extraordinary.
At this time, he was holding the fold presented by the fold and reading it carefully, and his two brows were tightly furrowed, like two lumps.
Zhe Zhao's recital was specially made to cry poor and ask for money, and the recital listed one after another names that urgently needed money, and Wang Anshi's temples were swollen, and his mind was full of coins flying and dancing.
He knew that the Zhenwu Army was in financial distress, and he even felt guilty because the imperial court had no money for the Zhenwu Army.
But what can be done? There are too many places for the imperial court to use money.
At present, millions of flood victims in the south of the Yangtze River are in urgent need of resettlement, and the imperial court needs to pay for money, food, clothing, and food, and in order to prevent next year's floods, the Yellow River and the Yangtze River need to build dams, which is also a huge expense.
In the area of Qinfeng Road, the Tubo people and the Uighurs were eyeing the strategy very urgently, Xizhou and Qinzhou were lost, and the Guanzhong Road passed through the envoy Chong Shiheng sent seven urgent documents in one day, claiming that if the imperial court had no money and food to help, Chang'an Mansion would not be guaranteed.
Wang Anshi knew the dilemma of the imperial court, and at this time when he wanted money and no one was there, he had to write a reply with tears in his eyes, so that Chong Shiheng must hold on, even if he died in the battle to the last soldier, he could not let the Tubo Iron Cavalry capture Chang'an Mansion.
However, at this critical moment of internal and external troubles, the Queen Mother Regent also had to organize the 60th birthday banquet and ordered all localities to dedicate their birthdays, which made the already scarce money even worse.
Wang Anshi had nothing to do, so he had to work hard to support the operation of the imperial court, often tearing down the east wall to make up the west wall, which was really difficult, and it also made him feel the pain of a clever woman who had no rice to cook.
After thinking for a while, Wang Anshi picked up the pen and replied to Zhizhao, to the effect that the imperial court was also very difficult, so she must insist.
Just after he was busy, he picked up the book written by Tong Zhou and read it carefully, and just after seeing it, his temples couldn't help but hurt again.
It turned out that Tongzhou also came to cry poor.
Wang Anshi patiently and carefully read the book written by Tong Zhou, and couldn't help but feel very tricky.
Hedong Dao is the backbone of Daqi's defense against Western Xia and Liao, and it must not collapse like this, nor can it fall into chaos because of the lack of money and food.
Wang Anshi hesitated for a long time, feeling that at this juncture, it was the best policy for the imperial court to allocate some money and wealth.
After all, Tongzhou has always had an excellent official reputation, but he is not like the old rascal who likes to play tricks on the account, he said that he is short of money, that is definitely lack of money.
But fortunately, Tongzhou told a way to raise money at the end of the official document, that is, to borrow money from private businessmen to get by.
Although Wang Anshi didn't know how those big businessmen would lend money to the imperial court, it was better than nothing, so he agreed with a large sum of money.
After processing the thick recital, Wang Anshi was probably tired, he stood up and walked to the window lattice, only to find that it was already dark outside.
He looked up at the bright moon that was gradually rising above the treetops, remembering that he was constrained by political enemies inside and troubled by all kinds of things outside, he couldn't help but sigh abruptly, and whispered with emotion: "It's hard to support alone!" Ande warriors guard the Quartet......"
※※※
Entering the wax moon, the cold wind is cold, the land of Hedong is full of ice and snow, and the Hedong Bank is also officially opened at this time.
It is said that it is officially opened, but this is a bit far-fetched.
The counties in the Gaine states are barely able to maintain the operation of the bank by simply staffing the premises of the bank.
The head office of Hedong Bank in Taiyuan City only bought a money bank for office, and all the personnel were drawn from the officials in Hedong Road Jingluo Mansion and Taiyuan Mansion.
The reason for such a hurry to open the business is not that Cui Wenqing and others are anxious for quick success, but that the matter of buying grain is really imminent, and the required silver taels must be collected as soon as possible.
Cui Wenqing is well aware of the truth that if you want to hurry, you can't reach it, he was a small entrepreneur who started his own company before, and he has a self-taught master's degree in economic management, so he still knows the basic business and part of the process of the bank in the future, especially for the routines of private financing institutions.
In the midst of his busy schedule, Cui Wenqing spent seven days giving lectures to train a group of officials who were transferred to work in the bank, and dispatched them to various prefectures, counties, and counties to immediately guide the opening of the local Hedong Bank branch and the specific business procedures.
This day is the 21st day of the lunar month, in a burst of firecrackers, the red silk hanging on the plaque of the head office of Hedong Bank slid down, revealing four glittering big characters, which were written "Hedong Bank." ”
In the face of the onlookers, Cui Wenqing generously delivered a series of speeches, describing the approximate use of the bank, describing the specific business that the bank is about to carry out, and asking the people to support them and come to lend money to the Jinglue Mansion and the Zhenwu Military Metropolitan Governor's Mansion.
It was the first time that the people of Taiyuan City had heard such a novel thing.
You must know that in all dynasties, when the imperial court encountered financial difficulties, most of them levied from the people, and many times they were in the name of borrowing money, but in fact, they did not repay the borrowed money, and even if the people had the heart to redress their grievances, there was no way.
At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty and the end of the Tang Dynasty, in order to suppress the rebels, the imperial court directly borrowed money from the big merchants in the city, but later until the change of dynasty, the money was not recovered.
Therefore the people were still in doubt.
Cui Wenqing naturally thought of this, but standing in front of the railing on the second floor of the bank, he smiled, and said loudly: "I know that there are some people here who are not as good as Hedong Road through the Liufu Mansion and the Zhenwu Military Governor's Mansion, thinking that most of the money borrowed by the imperial court is borrowed and not repaid, but in this case, it is only when there is political corruption, and the imperial court is untrustworthy. ”
At this point, many people nodded their heads.
