At dusk, the Hedong Bank closed its doors and cleared its accounts, and a total of 210,000 taels of military bonds were sold, and more than 30,000 taels of treasury bonds were sold, a certain increase from yesterday.

At the same time, news was also transmitted about the situation of the state and county banks on Hedong Road selling military bonds and national bonds.

In just two days, the 23 prefectures to which Hedong Road belonged sold a total of 300,000 taels of military bonds and 100,000 taels of national debts.

After Cui Wenqing learned of this news, he immediately made a decision to ask all localities to properly place the silver taels, and if there was a shortage of silver taels, he would definitely ask the government to strictly investigate.

For eight days, when the first month came, the official office was on holiday, and the military debt on Hedong Road alone had already sold three million taels of silver, and the warehouses in various places were all piled up, which made Zhe Zhao unstoppably anxious.

"Husband, so much silver belonging to our Zhenwu Army is scattered in various states, and I don't know how to manage it, and whether it can be short, if something goes wrong, we can't afford to pay it." After saying this, Zhi Zhaoqiao obviously had a somewhat anxious look on her face.

Cui Wenqing took a sip of the tea cup on the case, but the smile on his face was light: "You, you, you are anxious when you don't have money, now that you have money, you are still worried, don't worry, the prime minister has already ordered the treasury to be sealed, and arranged for soldiers to be on duty, so there is no big mistake." ”

Hearing this, Zhi Zhao was slightly relieved, and sighed lightly: "I just believe that the officials of these states and counties, and the silver and two are only completely relieved when they are all put into the silver treasury of my Zhenwu Army." ”

Cui Wenqing sneered: "This is easy to say, but it is not easy to do, have you ever thought that if we bring the silver taels stored in various places back to Fuzhou, how many people's carriages and horses do we need?" How many soldiers are needed to protect them? Besides, now that the road is closed by heavy snow, it is inconvenient to travel back and forth, and I don't think this silver needs to be transported back to Fuzhou. ”

When Zhe Zhao frowned and muttered to himself, he remembered the silver ticket that Cui Wenqing said that day, and couldn't help but sigh: "If the bank can now issue the silver ticket that the husband envisioned that day, then we can no longer worry about the transportation of the silver two." ”

Cui Wenqing felt the same way, and said: "Yes, if you exchange both silver for silver tickets, it is very convenient to carry, it seems that our plan has to be carried in advance." ”

Zhi Zhao nodded in agreement, thought for a while, and said: "This matter should be done sooner rather than later, so let's wait until the next year." ”

Cui Wenqing nodded, and suddenly smiled: "Now there are so many silver taels, lady, you won't worry about the purchase of grain, right?" ”

Zhi Zhao smiled and said: "Of course, and you don't have to look at the hateful faces of those grain merchants in Liang Qingchuan anymore, as long as you have money, you can't buy food anywhere!" ”

"Yes." Cui Wenqing smiled excitedly, and then suggested, "Lady, if you don't finish the first month, I will go to Luoyang to buy grain, Luoyang is a prosperous place in Beijing, there are many rich businessmen, and it occupies the convenience of the canal, and it is also the most important grain distribution center in the north, I believe that I will be able to buy back this year's grain for the Zhenwu Army." ”

Zhi Zhao thought about it, but shook his head and refused: "No, husband, your main energy now should be to develop Hedong Bank and raise silver taels, and the issuance of silver bills is imminent, Hedong Bank is also indispensable to husband, and it is better to send others to buy grain." ”

Cui Wenqing was slightly disappointed, but he also understood that this was helpless, so he had to nod and agree.

At the same time, in the mansion of Zheweiben in Fugu County, Fuzhou, when he heard that Cui Wenqing used Hedong Bank to raise silver taels, Zheweiben's face turned pale in an instant, and he actually knocked over a white jade teacup by mistake, and he didn't realize it.

Shortly after returning from Taiyuan City, Zhi Jixuan was very clear about the booming business of Hedong Bank, and said anxiously: "Daddy, the child has a few acquaintances in the Yamen of Jinglue Mansion, according to them, by the end of the year, Zhe Zhao has raised a full three million taels of silver, which is piled up in the treasury of various states and counties, and the amount of silver is still increasing dramatically. ”

After losing his mind for a long time, he came back to his senses in shock, and sighed: "Directly borrow money from the people in the name of Zhenwu Army, and pay a certain amount of interest to repay it on time...... What a solution! Anyone who can come up with this idea is a genius......"

Zhi Jixuan said: "It's really unexpected that Zhi Zhao can think of this method, father, how should we deal with it?" ”

Zhi Weiben sneered: "It is true that Ah Zhaojun is strategically resourceful and powerful, but when it comes to making money, he is ignorant and ignorant, and this method is definitely not what she thinks." ”

"Who could that be? Tongzhou? Zhi Jixuan frowned and asked.

"Tongzhou? Hmph, with his broad and timid nature, it is absolutely impossible to think of such a bold and risky way. ”

"Oh, if it weren't for Tongzhou, the child wouldn't have guessed?"

Zhi Weiben's eyes flashed, and he coldly spit out three words: "Cui Wenqing." ”

Zhi Jixuan was stunned for a moment, and said: "Father thinks Cui Wenqing thought of this method?" Will he be so wise? ”

Zhi Weiben shook his hand and snorted coldly: "Jixuan, don't underestimate this Cui Wenqing, the reason why we have been losing during this time is almost all because this Cui Wenqing is doing ghosts in it, this person is really not to be underestimated, don't be careless and underestimate the enemy." ”

Zhi Jixuan's heart sank, and he nodded hurriedly and said: "The child knows, and he will definitely not be careless to underestimate the enemy." ”

Zhi Weiben nodded, stood up and thought about it in the hall for a while, and then stopped and said what to do: "In all dynasties, no one has ever been so bold to borrow money from the people, and it has not been approved by the imperial court. ”

Zhi Jixuan bowed slightly, and then showed a little hesitation: "Father, according to legend, the prince of Qi has always been quite affectionate to Zhi Zhao, if it wasn't for Yang Wenguang to get in the way, maybe the Empress Dowager Xie has already issued an edict to marry the prince of Qi and Zhi Zhao, and wants him to help impeach Zhi Zhao, will this prince of Qi agree?" ”

Zhi Weiben smiled confidently: "Don't worry, our King Qi is a hero in the world, and his private affairs are very clearly divided, and in front of power, women are just a foil, do you think that King Qi will betray the Queen Mother Regent for Ah Zhao!" ”

Zhi Jixuan was right to think about it, so he smiled leisurely: "I see, it seems that this matter can only be handed over to the ministers of the political affairs hall to decide." ”

Zhi Weiben smiled, and then asked with a cold face: "By the way, have you ever contacted the Qinglou woman named Cairou?" ”

Zhi Jixuan's eyes flashed, and he said in a deep voice: "I have already been contacted, but this woman is asking for a lot of money." ”

"As long as Cui Wenqing can be separated from Zhe Zhaohe, what is the money!" Zhi Weiben smiled coldly, and commanded, "Promise her directly, and tell her that we will come to Fuzhou as soon as we are ready, we can't wait." ”

"The child understands." Zhi Jixuan immediately surrendered to the order.
