"Plus!" Glancing at Xiao Wuzi, Zhang Lingyang said again: "In the future, all the money exchanges with the imperial merchants will be handled by the Royal Bank.

Besides, let out the rumors, and then select the royal merchants in the future, based on the qualifications given by the Royal Bank."

"Slaves can be saved!" Xiao Wuzi replied.

Thinking of the idea just mentioned, Zhang Lingyang felt proud.

Royal Bank has just started operating, and there must be very few customers.

However, once the money exchange between the commercial supervisor and the imperial merchants is handled by the Royal Bank, then these imperial merchants automatically become customers of the Royal Bank.

You must know that the merchants who can become royal businessmen are all leaders in the industry.

In addition, the next selection of royal merchants will be based on the qualifications assessed by the Royal Bank, which will attract other big businessmen to become customers of the Royal Bank.

In this way, although it is unlikely that the Royal Bank will make much profit at the beginning of its operation, at least it will not lose money in the early stage.

Besides, once the Royal Bank is on the right track, the bank will surely become a gold-swallowing monster.

As for whether the establishment of the bank will have an impact on the rest of the bank?

Zhang Lingyang doesn't care if they live or die?

It's best that all these money banks and ticket numbers go out of business, and Zhang Lingyang is happy!

Now, in addition to the wars in Yunnan and Guizhou provinces and western Xinjiang, the Great Zhou is still a national peace and security.

Since there was no major event in the imperial court, Zhang Lingyang simply focused his attention on the preparations for the Royal Bank, the Firearms Bureau, and the Imperial Horse Guard.

Every day, except for seeing Zhang Lingyang's figure in the palace in the morning and evening, most of the time, few people know where Zhang Lingyang is.

Before you know it, the Lantern Festival has passed.

Gao Pei, the governor of Liangguang, Cao Rui, the governor of Liangjiang, and Zhu Kaishan, the governor of southern Henan, had to go to Beijing to meet them, regardless of whether they wanted to do so or not.

Years ago, they had various reasons to delay their entry into Beijing.

But after the Lantern Festival, if they dare to delay the time, they are afraid that whether they can keep their official positions is still two words.

Among the three, except for Zhu Kaishan, the governor of southern Henan, who was transferred to the household department, Cao Rui, the governor of Liangjiang, who was transferred to the Ministry of Rites, and Gao Pei, the governor of Liangguang, who was transferred to the criminal department, can be regarded as a bright promotion and a secret descent.

In the locality, both Cao Rui and Gao Pei say the same, just like a prince, but when they arrive in the capital, what are they?

The six Shangshu, although the position is second only to the first assistant of the cabinet, can be regarded as an important minister of the imperial court.

But who doesn't know that among the six departments, the most powerful is the official department, the most fat is the household department, and as for the military department, it is the back garden of the nobles.

In other words, the status of the Criminal Department and the Ministry of Rites is only slightly higher than that of the Ministry of Industry.

Cao Rui's mood was better, after all, although the transferred Ministry of Rites Shangshu did not have much real power in his hands, he was better at being idle, and there were not so many miscellaneous things.

But Gao Pei's mood was completely different.

Although the Criminal Department is in charge of the world's prisons, it has the separation of power between Jinyiwei and Dongchang, and it is often used by the emperor to hold the cylinder.

What's more, there are many fish and dragons in the capital, and if you are not careful, you will offend people who should not be offended.

After all, there are so many powerful people in the capital, and it is inevitable that the children of the powerful will commit crimes.

At that time, how should the Criminal Department, which is the head of the three legal divisions, deal with it?

If you are fair, you will inevitably offend those powerful, and if you are afraid, you will be criticized by Qingliu.

Therefore, from the moment he received the holy decree that he was transferred to the Criminal Department, Gao Pei's mood became very bad, and he didn't even have a good Spring Festival.

Among the three, the happiest is none other than Zhu Kaishan, the governor of southern Henan.

You must know that the household department is in charge of the world's money and grain, but it is the fattest errand in the whole world.

Moreover, Zhu Kaishan's authority as governor of southern Henan is not as great as that of the governor of Liangjiang and the governor of Liangguang, so just after the Spring Festival, Zhu Kaishan couldn't wait for his family to pack his bags.

As soon as the Lantern Festival passed, Zhu Kaishan rushed to the capital with his family to report happily.

However, what Zhu Kaishan didn't know was that with the establishment of the Royal Bank, the authority of the household department would be greatly weakened.

No, less than half a month after he entered Beijing to report, Zhu Kaishan couldn't be happier.

In the Qianqing Palace, Zhang Lingyang summoned Zhu Kaishan to meet him.

"Zhu Aiqing, let's calm down first!"

Raising his hand, Zhang Lingyang helped Zhu Kaishan up and said, "I have an errand to be handed over to the household department!" ”

"Your Majesty, please!"

"Over the years, the treasury has been unable to make ends meet, and I want to come to Zhu Aiqing to understand.

Therefore, I want to measure the land of the whole country and see how much arable land there is in the country.

If this matter is done, I will give Zhu Aiqing a great credit! ”

"Wechen obeys!" Zhu Kaishan just frowned slightly, and then agreed.

After leaving the palace and returning to the mansion he had just purchased, Zhu Kaishan kept himself locked in the study and bowed his head to ponder the meaning of Zhang Lingyang's words.

Obviously, what Zhang Lingyang said about measuring the land of the whole country is not just measuring the land of the people.

Together with the land of the gentry, I am afraid that it will also be measured.

And when measured together with the land of the gentry, it means that it is self-evident!

"I'm afraid this matter is a little difficult to do!" Zhu Kaishan sighed, feeling that this errand was very tricky.

But this matter cannot be left undone, and Zhu Kaishan also understands in his heart that the reason why Zhang Lingyang promoted himself to the head of the household department is because he was brave and fearless of hardships and dangers during his tenure as governor of southern Henan.

If he retreats at this moment, he is afraid that Zhang Lingyang will be very disappointed in himself and think that he is embarrassed.

I'm afraid that when the time comes, the position of my household secretary will not be stable.

After all, measuring the land of the whole country was the first errand that Zhang Lingyang gave to him after entering Beijing.

After many struggles in his heart, Zhu Kaishan finally made up his mind.

got up and opened the door of the study, Zhu Kaishan's footsteps were a little resolute!

In the Qianqing Palace, after Zhu Kaishan left, Zhang Lingyang sat on the dragon chair, looking at the roof with blank eyes.

"Leave this matter to Zhu Kaishan, I don't know if it's right or wrong!"

That's right, the reason why Zhang Lingyang ordered the household department to measure the land of the whole country was to prepare for the implementation of the apportionment of the land into the mu and the integrated payment of grain by the gentry in the future.

At present, the land tax revenue of the national treasury is decreasing day by day, and in the long run, I am afraid that it will not be long before the Great Zhou will fall.

It is also because of this that Zhang Lingyang remembered the idea of spreading the land into the mu.

Of course, the allocation of acres is not imminent.

After all, now the gentry clique has a decisive advantage in the court.

If the implementation of apportionment into the mu at this time, I am afraid that the effect will be counterproductive, and then intensify the internal contradictions.

Before the implementation of the policy of apportioning the land to the mu, Zhang Lingyang had to support a force that could compete with the gentry group.

Naturally, Xungui Group entered Zhang Lingyang's eyes......
