After a day of inspecting the capital with his guards, Jiang Chuan finally selected five places as the location of the Zhongzhou Bank.

According to Jiang Chuan's plan, Zhongzhou Bank should set up at least one head office and four branches in the capital.

The headquarters of Zhongzhou Bank, which Jiangchuan selected, is located in the middle of Jincheng Lion Street.

Lion Street is the most prosperous commercial street in Beijing.

On this street, there are many shops, and the land price is the highest in the entire capital, so it is not an exaggeration to say that every inch of land is expensive.

And the shops here are basically the property of the imperial court magnates or clans, so it can be said that people without background can not occupy a place on this lion street at all.

The store selected by Jiang Chuan as the location of the head office of Zhongzhou Bank was previously an industry that belonged to Liu Lin, the Duke of Wei.

This Duke of Wei, Liu Lin, has now become a ghost under the knife, and all his family property has also been confiscated by the imperial court, including this shop

Without Jiang Chuan's order, the imperial court did not dare to auction or change hands on this property.

This property occupies a very large area, and the layout is basically the same as other shops, with a façade in front and a large mansion with three entrances and three exits in the back.

If you want to be the head office of the bank, the basic pattern does not need to change, as long as the design and decoration are re-designed, you can open for use.

The other four branches of Zhongzhou Bank are also located in the four prosperous directions of the southeast, northwest and northwest of the capital.

Although these places are not currently in the hands of the imperial court or Jiang Chuan, they are nothing more than a matter of spending a little more money or formalities.

For Jiang Chuan, at present, he wants to set up Zhongzhou Bank in the palace, and there will not be much of a problem.

After choosing the address, Jiang Chuan returned to the Regent's Mansion and summoned Yan Zhai, the housekeeper, to deal with the formalities of these properties.

Of course, Jiang Chuan did not intend to take advantage of the robbery, and he would give sufficient compensation to the original owners of these properties.

Of course, if the owner of these industries does not know the current affairs and wants to open his mouth, he will naturally not mind that his subordinates will teach them a lesson.

Although Yan Zhai is from a small place, he is careful and careful enough to do things, he is principled, he also knows how to be flexible, and he has always done things safely, so he is also a very suitable person to do this.

Yan Zhai also knew that Jiang Chuan intended to promote himself, so he had been doing his best in doing things.

Of course, this part of the compensation is to be paid out of the account of the household department, and it is impossible for Jiang Chuan to pay for it himself, after all, the establishment of Zhongzhou Bank itself is an act of the imperial court.

Although now basically the words imperial court and Jiangchuan can be equated.

After explaining Yan Zhai, Jiang Chuan sent someone to find Su Qin, Liu Ji, and Xia Junze, the first assistant of the cabinet, to discuss.

Although it is imperative to set up a bank and issue paper money, Jiang Chuan also needs the support of these people.

Of course, Su Qin and Liu Ji naturally don't need to say it.

Only Xia Junze, although he has always been very cooperative, but his real thoughts, Jiang Chuan is actually a little unclear.

And because of the lessons of the past, Daming treasure banknotes were once indiscriminately issued and became waste paper, and finally were completely abolished, and gold and silver became circulating currency again.

For these court officials and ordinary scholars who are basically only in the knowledge reserve system, there are only the words of the sages, the Four Books and the Five Classics, and ordinary scholars, the issuance of paper money is equivalent to bringing disaster to the country and the people has basically become the truth in their hearts.

They don't care about the income of the imperial court, they don't care about the national economy and people's livelihood, they only care about whether their wealth is affected, and they only care about whether their family property has shrunk.

So he wanted to see the attitude from Xia Junze.

If Xia Junze is resolutely opposed, then the opposition of others will be even more fierce.

Su Qin is now focusing on the Li Fan Yuan, so although he has the title of the head of the Regent Mansion, he is busy working on the side of the Li Fan Yuan most of the time.

And because after the invasion of the British mercenaries, the pressure on the Li Fan Yuan was even greater, although Jiang Chuan did not blame Su Qin, after all, the Li Fan Yuan had just been established.

But this matter is indeed within the scope of the responsibility of the Li Fan Yuan, and Su Qin himself felt a huge pressure, so he was almost busy in the Li Fan Yuan, wanting to make the Li Fan Yuan really run and play a role in the shortest possible time.

And Liu Ji is now mainly in charge of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and he also has the identity of a cabinet minister.

His main task recently is to rectify the Inspectorate while supervising and following up on the preparation of the Ministry of Rites for the autumn Enke Takeshi.

Since ancient times, the Yanguan is the emperor's least favorite group of people, and the Yanguan of the Ming Dynasty is a group of perverts.

In order to be famous, these people can do anything.

Scolding colleagues, scolding court bigwigs, and even scolding the emperor, scolding the queen mother, and scolding the heavens and the earth, there is nothing they dare not scold.

And their status as officials already has the power to discuss rumors, so even if they scold the wrong one, others can't do anything to them.

In the late Ming Dynasty, these officials basically became tools of party struggle, and became mad dogs in the hands of various party bosses in the court, used to attack each other, and made the court a miasma.

It can be said that the emperor hates this group of people the most, but there is no way to remove them, after all, the emperor still has to make a posture of opening up his speech and being a corporal.

Therefore, in the original history of the Ming Dynasty, Emperor Zhengde had fun every day, and Emperor Jiajing did not go to court for forty years.

Jiang Chuan naturally didn't want to listen to this group of mad dogs barking, so he handed over the main position of the inspectorate to Liu Ji to manage.

If it is handed over to someone else, this group of mad dogs will inevitably make a lot of noise.

Jiang Chuan is not the kind of person who is rigid and self-serving and can't listen to any opinions, on the contrary, he knows that his governance experience is weak, so he often recruits Liu Ji, Su Qin and others for advice.

But he knew that at this extraordinary moment, the court needed a word.

If those so-called officials are allowed to speak, there will inevitably be a miasma of smoke above the court, and the efficiency of the court will become sluggish, and there will be only harm but no benefit.

Moreover, Jiang Chuan planned to replace the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Six Divisions in the eventual removal of these officials.

The Metropolitan Procuratorate, he will eventually become a real supervision agency, imitating modern society, supervising and auditing officials up and down the court, and becoming a real sword of Damox hanging over the heads of those corrupt officials.

Instead of being like this, become a bunch of mad dogs who only know how to bark wildly.

It's just that because of the lack of talent at hand and limited energy, he can't take care of this for the time being.

But wait until the autumn after Enko. After the imperial court has obtained a large amount of fresh blood, this matter will definitely come to fruition at that time.

Not long after, Su Qin, Liu Ji and Xia Junze arrived one after another.
