The horse team traveled day and night, and arrived in Taiyuan City after ten days.

Cui Wenqing remembered that the soldiers had been lucky all the way, and everyone was homesick at the end of the year, so he ordered to go into the city to rest for three days before leaving.

Upon learning of Cui Wenqing's arrival, Tongzhou, the envoy of Hedong Road, personally came to greet him, welcomed Cui Wenqing and his party into the city, and prepared wine and food for hospitality.

On the second day, Cui Wenqing slept until three strokes in the sun before waking up, and slowly cleaned up, so he invited Su Shi to go out together.

When I came to the place where Hedong Bank is located, it can be seen that the bank is still busy, customers are coming, and business is very good.

In addition, at present, the implementation of silver bills in the area of Hedong Road has made the rich businessmen come and go in and out to exchange silver bills, and now there are soldiers sent by the yamen to guard and maintain order and law and order, both around and inside the bank.

"President Cui, why are you here? Yes? And Lord Su, please please. ”

Seeing Cui Wenqing's arrival, Lu Huiqing was surprised and surprised, and hurriedly invited Cui Wenqing and Su Shi into the official room to sit down, and personally brought two hot teas, which were respectfully placed on the desk.

Cui Wenqing took a sip of the hot tea, waited for the mellow tea juice to flow into his throat, then put down the teacup and smiled, and explained casually: "A few days ago, the imperial court sent an official document, and the official family summoned me and Brother Su to Beijing. ”

Lu Huiqing nodded, with a flattering smile on her face: "President Cui, it is said that you are going to Beijing this time to serve as the vice president of Daqi Bank, right?" ”

Cui Wenqing smiled and said: "Yes, you see my hard work, just a few days after the pacification of the four states in the north was completed, a new task came, and even the New Year was afraid that I was in a hurry, which is really depressing." ”

Although Lu Huiqing nodded in agreement, she didn't think so, and there was a strong sense of envy burning in her heart.

That's the vice president of Daqi Bank, the newly established official position of Zhengliupin in the imperial court, many people can't dream of it, but I didn't expect this Cui Wenqing to be disgusted with the West, it's really not content!

Su Shi said with a chuckle: "Hehe, although Brother Wen Qing's official position is only the vice president, Fu Bi, as the president, is responsible for the affairs of the household department, so he doesn't have much thought to manage the specific affairs of Daqi Bank, so Brother Wen Qing, the vice president, is actually the president of Daqi Bank." ”

Lu Huiqing was envious and a little faintly jealous, but she said quietly on her face: "President Cui, I don't know what the specific business of Daqi Bank will be in the future?" Will there be a conflict with Hedong Bank? ”

Cui Wenqing explained with a smile: "As the central bank of the imperial court, the most important thing for Daqi Bank is not to carry out financing, loans, and issuance of treasury bonds like Hedong Bank, but its main task is to carry out economic regulation and control, that is, to play the role of the bank, to keep the Daqi economy within a controllable range, and to maintain the smooth operation of the economy, which is the most critical." ”

After being by Cui Wenqing's side for so long, Lu Huiqing and Su Shi could barely understand the words in his mouth, so they bowed their heads slightly.

"However, ......" Speaking of this, Cui Wenqing changed his words, "As far as I know, many prefectures and counties in the Central Plains have now set up corresponding local banks, engaged in similar business to Hedong Bank, and there have been many and miscellaneous, miscellaneous and chaotic phenomena, I think the next step will be to rectify local banks and standardize the business accepted by local banks." ”

Seeing Lu Huiqing's nervousness, Cui Wenqing shook his hand with a smile and said, "Don't worry, Hedong Bank is quite standardized, so it won't be affected very much, by the way, Yao Tunan can be in Taiyuan?" ”

Hearing this, Lu Huiqing's eyes flashed, and he said with a smile: "Tu Nan went to Xuzhou some time ago to guide the loan issuance affairs, so he was not in Taiyuan City. ”

Cui Wenqing nodded and smiled: "Yao Tunan is a high-ranking talent in the country, and with him and Brother Huiqing, it really complements each other, and now after I become the vice president of Daqi Bank, it is inconvenient to interfere too much in the affairs of Hedong Bank, so as not to be talked about, and I hope that the two of you can cooperate sincerely and make progress together." ”

Lu Huiqing was overjoyed, nodded and said, "Don't worry, President Cui, I will definitely do what you tell me and earn more silver taels for Hedong Bank." ”

After walking out of Hedong Bank, Su Shi couldn't hold back the words in his heart anymore, and said to Cui Wenqing: "Brother Wenqing, according to me, this Lu Huiqing seems to be ...... It's not a good kind! ”

Cui Wenqing nodded sympathetically, and sighed: "This person is a talented and virtuous person, his talent is appreciated and recognized by me, and his character is also disgusted and spurned by me, but the lesser of the two powers, Lu Huiqing has an old eye and unique thinking, and he is actually the best helmsman of Hedong Bank at present, in comparison, Yao Tunan is still a little too bookish." ”

Su Shi chuckled and said: "It turns out that Brother Wen Qing has long known in his heart, but I have talked too much, but I always feel that you have given Lu Huiqing such great power, and one day there will be chaos." ”

Cui Wenqing thought about it for a while, but didn't take Su Shi's words too seriously, just nodded and said: "Okay, I will ask Tong Jingluo to mention Lu Huiqing a little more, I believe there will not be too many mistakes." ”

The two returned to the post house and separated, Cui Wenqing just walked into the small courtyard where he lived, but saw a beautiful figure standing in the courtyard, dressed in white and wearing a white cloak, standing in the snow like a fairy in the ice and snow world.

"Huh? Miss Lu, why are you here? Seeing that it was Lu Ruoxuan, Cui Wenqing was very surprised.

Lu Ruoxuan smiled and said softly: "I heard that Lord Cui was passing by Taiyuan, and the little girl came to thank the adults for their kindness to me and my younger brother. ”

"Haha, the girl is polite." Cui Wenqing smiled and shook her hand, signaling that she didn't have to be so particular.

When he returned to Fugu County some time ago, Cui Wenqing had ordered Ning Zhen to rescue Lu Ruoxuan's younger brother from the hands of the Mingjiao demons, and sent their sister and brother to Luoyang Tongzhou, asking Tongzhou to invite a famous doctor to diagnose and treat Lu Ruoxuan's younger brother's condition.

Seeing that Cui Wenqing didn't care at all, and he didn't mean to repay the favor, Lu Ruoxuan was secretly moved in her heart, and said with a chuckle: "No matter what, my lord, you are always the great benefactor of our Lu family's side branch, if you have the opportunity to go to Suzhou in the future, please visit my Lu family's big house, and the sect chief will be grateful." ”

Cui Wenqing knew that the Jiangdong Lu family was one of the four most famous families in Jiangnan Province, not to mention that the Lu family also had such a stunning and brilliant demon figure as Lu Jin in the previous dynasty.

However, he has no plans to go to Jiangnan now, so he can only nod and thank Lu Ruoxuan for his kindness.
