Chapter 177: A New Way Out

As soon as she heard this, Lu Huiqing immediately lifted her spirits.

After he lost his official position, the vice president of the bank, who was originally regarded as chaff, became fragrant and sweet in his ears at this moment, nodding his head in thanks, but he still had some doubts in his heart, and asked nervously: "But Xia Guan offended Cui Wenqing not long ago, and went to him like this, will he agree?" ”

Tong Zhou waved his hand and said with a smile: "Wen Qingxian's nephew is quite tolerant, after you were imprisoned for offending the ban, he has also interceded for you many times in the official and Fu Shangshu, if you go, I believe he will not be guilty of the past." ”

Hearing this, Lu Huiqing couldn't stop feeling ashamed in her heart.

Speaking of which, he didn't do much in Hedong Bank, but he secretly fought with Cui Wenqing for power three times and twice, after all, he represented the interests of the Yamen of the Economic Strategy Mansion, so he was naturally secretly hostile to Cui Wenqing.

However, I didn't expect Cui Wenqing to be so generous, not only did he not step on a few feet when he was in trouble, but also said a lot of good things for him, which really surprised Lu Huiqing and felt deeply ashamed.

Thinking of this, Lu Huiqing hurriedly nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go and meet President Cui, Master Tong, and my subordinates will take their leave." ”

After Tongzhou nodded with a smile, Lu Huiqing turned around and strode away from Jingluo Mansion, and for some reason, for this mansion that had brought him countless glory, at this moment, he no longer had the slightest attachment in his heart, maybe that Hedong Bank was his true future belonging.

Inside Hedong Bank, Lotus Ye said to Cui Wenqing, who was resting with his eyes closed: "Uncle, Lu Huiqing came to visit and was waiting outside. ”

Cui Wenqing stood up with a yawn, stretched his arms and moved his body for a moment, and then said, "Let him come in." ”

The lotus leaf bowed her head lightly and led the way away, and after a while, Lu Huiqing walked in with an embarrassed look.

However, to Lu Huiqing's surprise, Cui Wenqing did not sit behind the desk and wait for him, but stood alone on the window lattice, looking at the beautiful scenery of Taiyuan City, motionless like a stone carved wooden figurine.

At this time, the warm sun of early spring is sprinkling a golden luster, reflecting Cui Wenqing's figure plated with a layer of gold edges, and the breeze gently blows through his clothes, like a heavenly soldier who walks in the wind.

Seeing this, Lu Huiqing didn't know why, and suddenly had a little desire to bow and worship.

He shook his head as if he wanted to get this feeling out of his mind, and took a few steps forward to Cui Wenqing's back and respectfully bowed his hand: "Lu Huiqing has seen President Cui. ”

Cui Wenqing turned around, smiled and said, "Has the prime minister already let Brother Huiqing out?" What a great thing. ”

Lu Huiqing said respectfully: "I came here to thank President Cui for his kindness and great kindness, which is really unforgettable." ”

Lu Huiqing didn't directly explain his intentions, because he really didn't have the face to take the initiative to ask Cui Wenqing to take him in, and he really couldn't let go of this face, after all, this was his last dignity, if Cui Wenqing refused, then he really had no shame.

Cui Wenqing knew the purpose of Lu Huiqing's coming, he shook his hand and smiled: "It's just a trivial matter, what does Brother Huiqing have to worry about." After finishing speaking, his expression changed again, and he said with a pity on his face: "But I heard that Brother Hui Qing has been deposed from his official position by the envoy of the Economic Strategy, and I don't know if you have any plans in the future?" ”

Lu Huiqing sighed and said: "Speaking of which, I am panic and confused in my heart, and I haven't thought about the next way out. ”

Cui Wenqing would not be stupid enough to invite directly, because that would be too low, he smiled at Lu Huiqing, and opened his mouth to invite: "Brother Huiqing, you stand here with me and look outside." ”

Lu Huiqing was puzzled when she heard this, and she didn't think much about it, so she stepped forward and stood side by side with Cui Wenqing in front of the window lattice and looked at the street scene outside, but saw that the long street was very lively, with busy traffic and pedestrians coming and going, like crossing the river, bustling.

Standing still for a while, Cui Wenqing suddenly asked, "Brother Huiqing, what did you see?" ”

Lu Huiqing was confused, she didn't know Cui Wenqing's intentions, and replied honestly: "It's very lively outside." ”

"Yes, it's very lively, but do you know what makes it so lively?"

"Probably because Taiyuan City is popular and commercially developed, and it is the reason why it is the first important town in the north."

"Hehe, Brother Huiqing only knows one thing but doesn't know the other." Cui Wenqing shook his head and smiled, "In fact, the most critical reason for this is because the farmers and businessmen, and the common people have money, because they will consume because of the money, and because consumption has stimulated the prosperity of other industries, there is such a prosperous atmosphere in the city, as long as there is money, all industries will prosper, and the city will become more prosperous, which is the so-called consumption to drive domestic demand." ”

Although Lu Huiqing is very smart, but because Cui Wenqing's words are too profound and difficult to understand, it took him a long time to faintly understand, frowning and saying: "What President Cui means is that only when the people have money can the business be developed, and after the business is developed, the people will have more opportunities to make money?" ”

"It is worthy of a generation of famous prime minister Lu Huiqing!" Cui Wenqing secretly admired in his heart, with this ability to understand, he is beyond others, if he can help my career, it must be like a tiger with wings.

Don't think about it too much, Cui Wenqing smiled and said, "Yes, then do you know what the role of our bank is?" ”

Lu Huiqing thought for a while and replied, "It should be a place to raise money for the Hedong Road Jingluo Mansion and the Hedong Road Metropolitan Governor's Mansion." ”

"Hehe, this is just one of them." Cui Wenqing shook his head and smiled, "The real role of the bank is to control the circulation of money in the world, whether it is gold, silver and copper coins, or the silver bills we are about to issue, their issuance places are all done by our bank, and the money used by the people, the money saved, and the money borrowed are also taken from the bank and sent back to the bank, Brother Huiqing, I dare to assure you that in less than five years, the bank will be the most profitable institution in the whole world, and even the imperial court will be impressed by it." ”

Lu Huiqing was secretly shocked when she heard this, recalling the meaning revealed in Cui Wenqing's words, and her face was even more faintly pale: "But Governor Cui, the minting duty is done by the Mint Office under the Ministry of Households, if the bank issues coins privately, wouldn't it be a capital crime?!" The imperial court must have come to us for trouble like the issuance of military bonds and treasury bonds, and coins have always circulated freely among the people, and our banks can't manage them if they want to! ”
