Lin'an Da Nei, vertical arch hall

"Your Majesty! This time, the imperial court sold 9 percent of the shares of Daliang Bank and received a total of 400,000 yuan. Two-thirds of the principal invested in the bank has been recovered, and the court still holds a little more than 50% of the bank's shares. At the current market capitalization, the price of this part of the shares has more than fivefold. ”

The third envoy Wen Anguo smiled and reported to Zhu Chongli: "If you talk about financial management, I am afraid that no one in this world can compare with Li Yue!" The old ministers really have the idea of abdicating and making way for Xian, and it is most suitable for him to be in charge of the imperial finances. ”

These words are indeed the heartfelt words of the Great Liang Jixiang. The establishment of Daliang Bank from the private offering not only allowed Daliang Bank to resolve the run crisis by selling a small part of the shares, but also allowed the imperial court to return 100,000 yuan of funds.

All of this was done in a month's time. Wen Anguo felt that it was very difficult for him to do one thing by himself.

"Li Yue's ability to make money is really powerful, but after all, he is still young, and he still needs more experience." Zhu Chongli's mood was obviously very good, "How can Da Liang and I be separated from Kaiwen Aiqing?" ”

As soon as Zhu Chongli finished speaking, the inner chamberlain Li Eun said, "Your Majesty! The king of Wu'an arrived outside the palace gate. ”

"Then the old minister will retire!" Wen Anguo took a few steps back, then turned around and walked out of the hall.

Zhu Chongli couldn't wait to say: "Hurry up and announce the king of Wu'an!" ”

Li Eun shouted loudly: "Your Majesty has a decree, the king of Xuanwu'an County will come to see you!" ”

In this year, the communication was basically behind, and Zhu Chongli's dictation was shouted outside the palace one after another through the eunuchs of the Inner Servant Province, and then a moment had passed when Wen Bin walked into the Vertical Arch Palace.

"The old minister Wenbin knocks on Your Majesty, long live my emperor! Banzai! Hooray! After all, Wen Bin was old, and his legs trembled slightly when he knelt.

"The king of the county, please get up! Sit down! "For Wen Bin and Zhu Chongli, he is commensurate with his title and not as a secretary, which shows respect.

The little eunuch on the side immediately moved the chair, and after Wen Bin sat down, Zhu Chongli said: "Yesterday, a letter came from Shuzhong, and Liu Ting, the envoy of Sichuan Town, died of illness, and I lost an arm!" ”

Zhu Chongli said that the grief, Wen Bin listened to it and unconsciously turned out the sourness in his heart.

Liu Ting's father, Liu Jie, is the third general of Zhongxing on the same level as Wen Bin and Zong Peng. Liu Ting led the troops quite like his father's legacy. It's a pity that he is greedy for wine and lust, so he died before he was fifty.

Zhu Chongli continued: "But if you want to recover the Central Plains, there must be a general in Shu. Looking at the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, only the king of Wu'an County can take the post of governor of Sichuan and Shaanxi. ”

"Your Majesty is so important, the old minister has been doing his best since he died!" Wen Bin, who was sitting in the chair, bowed slightly and replied.

"The shame of the difficulty, you should share the snow with the king of the county." Zhu Chongli said that he was fierce and fierce: "In the future Northern Expedition, the king of the county will march into Shaanxi, and then wave his army east into Henan." I personally supervised the soldiers of the two Huai to go north. Then the two armies met in Henan and recovered the old capital Fengzhou. ”

"At that time, the inside and outside of the abstinence were not corresponding."

Zhu Chongli knew what Wen Bin meant. In the eleventh year of the rejuvenation of the country, Zong Peng's mid-route Northern Expedition army had reached Fengzhou City, but it was still recalled by the then emperor Zhu Gaoyan with thirteen gold medals. And because of the slow withdrawal of troops, Zong Peng later lost his life. Wen Bin is nothing more than worried that a similar tragedy will happen to him.

"The edict to rehabilitate General Zong Zhaoxue will soon be announced to the world." Zhu Chongli said comfortingly: "Don't worry! If the division of the county king comes out and I do not move, I will lose the county king; If I have moved and the king of the county has not come out, the king of the county will lose me. Bestow the wine! ”

As soon as Zhu Chongli finished speaking, Li Eun held a silver tray with a wine jug and a wine glass in front of Wen Bin.

Wen Bin immediately stood up, and Zhu Chongli also stood up from the dragon chair and walked down, personally poured a glass of wine and handed it to Wen Bin and said, "I practice for the king of the county!" ”

Wen Bin took a drink from the wine glass, and said movingly: "Although the old minister is full of liver and brain, he can't repay this mighty emperor's kindness!" ”

"Bring my charcoal horse to the county king!" Zhu Chongli said to Wen Bin, who wanted to open his mouth to excuse himself: "This horse can travel thousands of miles a day, and he can help the king of the county to make a name for himself on the battlefield." ”

Wen Bin bowed deeply and said: "The old minister will leave for Shu tomorrow, and he will definitely train a group of elite soldiers and strong generals for His Majesty in Shu." ”

Then Zhu Chongli personally sent Wen Bin out of the palace and asked Wen Bin to ride a charcoal horse outside the palace.

When Zhu Chongli and Wen Bin Junchen parted ways, Zhu Kongyang, the priest of the prince of the East Palace, was giving a lecture to the crown prince Zhu Guangdun.

"With a clear conscience, honor and disgrace are not shocked, life and death are only 60 years, and the pursuit of fame and fortune is like flowing water. It is better than a stone, sinking into the heavens and the earth, and letting the wind and rain blow......"

This dull article came out of the mouth of a prince who was haunted by splendor, which made Zhu Guangdun's companions find it indescribably funny. But Zhu Guangdun read it seriously, and Zhu Kongyang listened to it seriously, so they could only suppress their laughter and hold it back uncomfortably.

After the prince finished reciting, he bowed respectfully to Zhu Kongyang.

Zhu Kongyang nodded slightly: "Yes, I remember this paragraph very well." Where did it come from? ”

"From the teacher's "Yin Shi".

"How do you explain it?"

It means that people's fame and fortune should not be too heavy, and as long as they can be worthy of their hearts, they can be fearless. A man who strives for fame and fortune is like flowing water, and a wise man should be like a stone at the bottom of the water. No matter how stormy the seas are, they will not be turned up. ”

Zhu Guangdun is not more important, how can he understand the state of mind of a middle-aged uncle like Zhu Kongyang, but he is just reading from the book.

Zhu Kongyang nodded approvingly when he heard this: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has achieved success in his studies, which is really a blessing for the Great Liang." ”

"Teacher, the student has something to ask!" Zhu Guangdun asked cautiously.

"Your Highness, please speak."

"What does the teacher think of Li Yue?"

After Zhu Guangdun asked, the other companions were also interested and pricked up their ears.

"Li Yue can be said to be gifted and intelligent. Ay! Zhu Kongyang sighed, and then continued: "It's a pity that he used all his talents on the last thing. ”

Zhu Guangdun asked rhetorically: "Enriching the treasury is also considered to be the end of the book?" ”

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!" Zhu Kongyang said with some displeasure: "The key to the stability of Jiangshan Sheji lies in politics and morality, so that the education of saints can be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. If they are all like Li Yue, who only knows how to chase the interests of Brother Kong Fang, it must be that people's hearts are not ancient and their morals are degenerate. In the long run, although the treasury is full, the people only know the benefits of money, and they do not know the principle of loyalty and filial piety. The old minister thought that this was definitely not a blessing for the court! ”

Zhu Guangdun's companions instantly regained their drowsy expressions, and Zhu Guangdun originally wanted to refute it, but after looking at Zhu Fuzi's face, he could only say respectfully: "Remember Mr.'s teachings!" ”

Zhu Kongyang nodded with satisfaction and said, "Then that's the end of today." ”
