At first, it was only eaten by Jiang Duo, Cui Chuzhi, Fang Yanzao and others, and later most officials stopped being reserved and began to try pork; After all, they are all smart people, and they know that they show themselves to be more noble than Shangguan every day, and they will not end well. Yuan Wei and Huangfu Yudao kept bowing their heads all the way, and when they walked into the conference hall, Yang Chong, Yang Wang, Wang Shuju, Zhuge Jiahui, Jiang Duo and the six Shangshu were all eating, and Sun Fujia, Feng Deyi, Niu Fangzhi, and Kou Jiuhui, who were in charge of hearing the case, were also sitting in a row behind the conference table.

Yang Chong saw the two of them coming in, raised his head and smiled, these days, Yang Chong has repeatedly thought about what he did wrong, which made the Hebei wealthy unhappy, but he had no clue. Yang Chong came through and didn't believe in those god-making methods, but most of the people of the Great Sui still had a sense of awe for Weixue. The reputation of Zhiyuan Daochang, Yuan Tiangang and others is outside, in fact, it is precisely for this reason that Li Baiyao is a rare talent with both longitude and latitude.

Yuan Wei and the two sat down, and the officials had already brought two trays of rice, and the four small plates in the tray contained white-cut mutton, scrambled eggs with fungus, fried leeks, braised fish pieces, as well as a bowl of beet soup and a large bowl of rice. Yang Chong was thinking about how to say his experience, and Shang Shuyuan of the military department beside him was inexhaustible while drinking soup and muttering to Fang Yanzao, the head of the household department: "Lord Fang, I heard that the household department has a plan for capital turnover, let's listen to it." ”

Fang Yanzao swallowed a piece of braised pork and said: "Considering that only Wuwei and Chang'an have banks, we have been considering using money to fill the gap, using private capital, and shareholders subscribing for shares." Now Lingbao and Nanyang Qianzhuang have been prepared, and they are also preparing to set up Tianshan Qianzhuang in Gaochang, Jincheng Qianzhuang in Jincheng County, Yinzhou Qianzhuang in Shangxian, Jinyang Qianzhuang in Taiyuan, Jiechi Qianzhuang in Hedong, and Baqiao Qianzhuang in Chang'an. ”

Everyone in the house understands that 12 shareholders of a money bank are 360,000 yuan, and eight money banks are 2.88 million yuan, so it can be said that the household department can be operated at once. Wang Shujie put down his chopsticks and asked, "How is the situation of the subscription?" ”

"Good." Fang Yanzao explained: "The shareholders of Lingbao Qianzhuang have all subscribed, and the envoys of Du Fuwei and others have said that there is no problem, it turns out that they have made preparations to spend money to buy peace, not to mention that this is a good opportunity to form an alliance with us." The shareholders of Tianshan Qianzhuang are Du Yan, Liang Shuo, Ling Jing, Sikong Xing, Liu Hongji, Shan Xiongxin, Xie Yingdeng, Tuoba Anhu, Xifeng Changshan, Yuwen Rutong, Yang Xuan, and Miao Yun. Jincheng Qianzhuang is Zhuge Quan, Yuwen Chengdu, Wei Yuanzhao, Zhai Changsun, Qi Bige, Duhu Huaien, Zhang Huaishan, Fu Qiu, Yang Ji, Fu Qugu, Yuan Diao, and Ma Gongyou. ”

Obviously, the two money houses in Tianshan and Jincheng have also been given to those soldiers and heroes who support Yang Chong, and the pattern of the remaining four money houses will not change much. Wang Shujie nodded and said, "This is a good thing, I will write home and let them support them more." ”

Wang Shuju, like Yuan Wei, is the patriarch of his own branch, and he can do what he can do without consulting anyone; Fang Yanzao said with relief: "With the support of Lord Wang, Jinyang Qianzhuang and Jiechi Qianzhuang will definitely not be a problem, and Baqiao Qianzhuang and Yincheng Qianzhuang will also hope that Lord Yuan will discuss with various families in the city." 2,880,000 is equivalent to a quarter of the annual tax during the Kaihuang period, and you can rest assured that the household department has absolute confidence in guaranteeing the principal and profits. ”

Sun Fujia, Feng Deyi, and Niu Fangzhi all participated in this kind of meeting for the first time, but they didn't expect that the way Yang Chong Group raised funds was completely different from what they had learned and seen before, and what shocked them was not money, but the interests behind this model. Through these money, the magnates of the Yang Chong Group and the clan of the gate lords who support them have a common interest, and in the long run, these 30,000 shares are nothing at all, if the Yang Chong Group sweeps the world, it will be a tenfold, hundredfold return.

Wang Shujie smiled slightly: "Fang Shangshu is serious, since the Wang family is on the side of Yue Guogong, they will never be half-hearted. However, Yue Guogong, there is something that the lower officials think is debatable. The imperial examination held in Zhangye has ended, with reference to two hundred and twenty-three, and the top thirty are admitted by the Ministry of Rites; Can it be held again in Chang'an half a year later, and those who are not on the list can also participate, and recruit another fifty jinshi. ”

The chopsticks in Yang Chong's hand stopped, and Wang Shujie said easily, in fact, he saw the situation after the imperial examination. Chang'an is different from Zhangye, and there are only a few scholars who recognize Yang Chong, even if the 200 people who fail to make the list come, they may not be able to pass the test for the disciples selected by the family, and this result is very different from the humble scholars that Yang Chong conceived at the beginning. Yang Chong raised his head, his eyes were as clear as water, and he said calmly: "This is the decision of Lord Yuan, Lord Yang and Lord Cui, as long as it does not disturb the people, Guozijian and Taixue do not object." ”

Cui Chu, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, watched Yang Chong step by step to get to this day, didn't understand Yang Chong's thoughts, and promised with a smile: "When Wang Tong and Chu Liang come back, I will immediately discuss with them, and ask Lord Yuan and Lord Yang to decide which plan." ”

"Don't dare to be." Shangshu Zuo Cheng and Shangshu Yang Wang of the Criminal Department are still more satisfied with Yang Chong's two brothers-in-law, they are both more reserved people who know how to advance and retreat; After Nayan Yuanwei nodded in agreement, he turned around and asked Yang Chong: "Yue Guogong, now that more than ten counties in Henan are in hand, Chang'an has no worries, tell me, how will Chang'an develop next?" ”

Yang Chong simply put down his chopsticks and seriously expounded his thoughts: "The first choice is farming, Cui Kaiyuan has already gone to Zhangye, and the Qilianshan Commercial Bank will be responsible for purchasing 3,000 heads of cattle from Tuyuhun, Qinghai, and the Western Regions Plateau, and providing them to the people of Guanzhong counties to make farming cattle; Considering the situation in Henan and other counties, they will buy 2,000 cattle from the grassland and supply them to Shangluo and Nanyang counties, and the Marshal's Office is responsible for promoting the Quyuan plow.

Secondly, the use of weaving mills around Chang'an, the promotion of woolen weaving mills, the pilot weaving workshops in the palace have a good effect, and when Jiang Fei and Cui Kaiyuan come back, they began to recruit female workers in the counties from Chang'an to Fufeng, and opened a weaving workshop of 200 female workers in each county, which was hung under the name of Chang'an County; There is also the transformation of Guanzhong Iron Plant, the quality of iron ore in Guanzhong is already poor, and the output of Wuchuan Iron Plant cannot go up.

The household department thinks about it, can arrange for the counties to harvest the tea leaves in Guanzhong and Henan tea mountains, and reopen the brick tea factory in Chang'an, Fang Shangshu, you and Li Chunfeng discuss it, and handle the two things of tea picking and cattle selling through the bank, and the bank will lend money to the counties and counties to pick tea and the people to buy cattle, if you are worried that the people will not pay back the cattle money, you can start lending from the Shannan Villa and the mountainous area of Yuanjia in the east of Lishan, and I and the Yuan raiders will each make a guarantee for 300 households. ”
