In the early morning of the next day, five notices were printed and sent to the Thorn Mansion.

Lu Bu sent people to take the notice and go to the eastern, southern, western, and northern cities, and posted one each. There is another one, which is posted at the door of the 'People's Bank of China'.

Thinking that many people didn't know how to read, Lu Bu specially sent a few literate soldiers to stand at the gate of the city, and read them to the onlookers every once in a while.

"Pingdong General Lu Bu, proclamation to the people of the Quartet, from now on, it is forbidden to use copper coins, and those who have copper coins in their hands should go to the 'People's Bank of Huaxia' opposite the Assassin's Mansion to exchange paper money..."

There were a lot of people standing around.

After listening to the content of the notice, they all behaved differently.

Some of them looked resolute and did not hesitate to go to the bank.

Some shook their heads and hurried home.

Others, hesitant and ready to wait and see for a while.

In general, the situation is not very good. More than half of the people are reluctant to exchange copper coins for paper money.

The soldier read it out over and over again.

The people who passed by, a group came, and a group left...

Despite this, there are still many people who go to the bank to change money, and there is a long queue.

Lu Bu, Zhang Feng, Xiao He, and Mu Guiying were all sitting in the lobby of the Assassin's Mansion, and the door of the Assassin's Mansion was open, so you could directly see the specific situation of the 'People's Bank of Huaxia' opposite.

"There are a lot of people who go to the bank to change money." Mu Guiying smiled and said in her heart: "I've been busy for so long, and I finally didn't waste my thoughts." ”

"I can't see it yet, and I won't know the result until tomorrow." Xiao He said.

"What my father-in-law said was very true. There are more than 200,000 people in Shouchun, and even if more than half of them are reluctant to go to the bank, there will be such a long queue outside the bank. However, I believe that there should be more than a few people who go to the bank to change money. ”

As early as yesterday, he arranged for 20 of the most popular people to take up posts in the bank.

When the people saw these people as guarantors, they must have been convinced. Lu Bu believes that the effect will not be too bad.

"Hehe... We'll see. Xiao He is not as optimistic as Lu Bu.

"In this scientific expedition, one hundred and sixty-six people have been selected, and the minister has sent one hundred and twenty-six people to serve in various counties and counties in Yangzhou, and there are still forty people who have no official positions, how is the lord going to settle them?"

After a while, Xiao He asked.

Lu Bu came back to his senses and thought to himself, every time he expands his territory, he needs to have officials, and he can't all be the same as Yangzhou. Not only is it slow, it's also unreliable.

"Can we set up a department dedicated to reserving talents, called 'Wenxian Pavilion', which means that the people who live in it are all talented people with outstanding literary talents. Usually let them write articles, and if they perform well, they can participate in the affairs of the court. If there is a vacancy in any county, they will be sent to fill it. ”

"The lord is wise, and the minister has this intention." Xiao He said happily.

Before that, he thought the same thing. Unexpectedly, Lu Bu had the same idea as him. With this department, there is no need to worry about it, there are no officials to govern the place. It also saved him a lot of things.

"This is unfair, why reserve civilian officials, not military generals? Another place should be built to reserve generals. Mu Guiying said.

Lu Bu laughed: "Gui Ying is right, let's build another Wuying Palace." The people who lived in it were all warriors with high martial arts and extraordinary martial arts, in order to prepare for the formation of a new army and select capable generals. ”

"Wuyingdian, it's so imposing." Mu Guiying praised.

"You all have no opinion, right?"

"No, no, no..." Xiao He and Mu Guiying, of course, have no opinion.

Zhang Feng was just the deputy commander of the Dragon Guard, and he didn't have the right to speak.

The matter of forming Wenxian Pavilion and Wuying Hall was happily decided in this way. Lu Bu sent someone to inform Yan Zhi that when the transformation of Beicheng was completed, he would continue to transform the two newly formed departments.

Evening.

There are still a lot of people outside the bank.

Xiao He and Mu Guiying all left one after another.

Lu Bu took Zhang Feng and went to the inner hall of the bank.

"How much money did you receive?" Lu Bu asked.

Standing in front of him was Church, the bank steward.

He was the best in this scientific expedition, and he was proficient in arithmetic, and Lu Bu appointed him as the bank manager.

Churchill was grateful to Dade and took things very seriously.

He held the account book, came to Lu Bu, and said, "Back to the lord, I have collected 14 million yuan. ”

"Okay, keep up the good work. Strive to collect all the copper coins within 10 days. ”

"No."

In general, Lu Bu is still quite satisfied, collecting 14 million a day, and more than 100 million in ten days.

That night, Lu Bu took the 14 million, plus some of the money left over from the Ling Yin Mansion and Lichun Courtyard, and made up an integer of 20 million and handed it over to Yan Zhi, the director of the Construction Division. It can be regarded as a solution to the urgent need of the moment.

At noon the next day, Churchill arrived at the Assassin's House.

He looked flustered, as if he was in trouble.

Lu Bu was pondering how to divide the troops, and when he saw Churchill coming, he asked suspiciously, "What's the matter?" ”

"My lord, many people gathered at the door of the bank to demand the return of the copper coins. After they made a fuss, no one came to change the money, and the banks stopped operating. ”

"Why?"

"The people said that paper money could not be used."

This situation is the worst.

Lu Bu also woke up to the fact that it is the most stupid behavior to talk about benevolence, righteousness and truth in troubled times. It is impossible for the people to support the government unconditionally at the expense of their own interests, even if the government is good, it is absolutely impossible.

"You go back first, take out the money in the bank, and return it to them." Lu Bu said with a cold face.

"Lord, there are only six million money left in the bank, which is not enough to return."

"You can return as much as you want. I promise that before it gets dark, there will be people scrambling to get the money! Lu Bu raised his voice.

"No."

Churchey was ordered to leave.

Lu Bu called Zhang Feng in and said, "Tell Ling Yin's Mansion, immediately patrol the city and sound the gong, and inform the people that after an hour, anyone who dares to use copper coins will be arrested!" ”

"Transfer the three thousand dragon guards to standby, and after an hour, they will start arresting people, no matter what their identity or status, they will be imprisoned in the prison of Ling Yin's mansion, and when they figure it out, they will be exchanged for money, and then released."

"No."

"Wait."

Zhang Feng was just about to leave, but Lu Bu stopped him again.

"What else does the lord command?"

Lu Bu thought about it, wrote a notice, handed it to Zhang Feng, and said, "Post this notice at the door of the bank." Tell Churchill that someone else will come and exchange the money, and give him five percent interest per annum. ”

"No."

Zhang Feng took the notice and hurried away.
