"With the words of the prince, the grass people have no scruples, our Anhui ticket number is willing to accept the review of the imperial court, and only the central bank will look forward to it in the future!" As soon as Zhou Chong's words fell, another shrewd young man took the lead in expressing his loyalty to Zhou Chong.

After all, they are not stupid, they used to spend nearly half of their income just to deal with the exploitation of those officials every year, but now they only need to pay a quarter, compared to them can earn two or three percent more, and they will be able to do business under the banner of the imperial court in the future, which is what they dream of.

"Hahaha~, not bad, yes, you are all people of insight in my Ming Dynasty, for today's choice, the imperial court will not let you suffer, in addition to the operation of the bank, the central bank has also studied several new businesses, if you are interested, there will be a special person to explain to you." After Zhou Zhong finished speaking, he stood up and prepared to leave, after all, with his identity, it was really not suitable to discuss things with these merchants, it was not that he looked down on these merchants, but that these merchants would feel very restrained, and they would not dare to say some things if they wanted to, so it was more appropriate for other officials to come to these people to talk.

Seeing Zhou Zhong get up, the fourteen merchants of the money village immediately stood up to send each other, Zhou Chong nodded to them, and then turned around and walked out of the living room, but just when he came out of the living room, he saw a middle-aged official in his thirties walking opposite, holding a book manuscript in his arms, when he saw Zhou Chong coming out, he was immediately startled, and hurriedly bowed and saluted: "See the prince!" ”

Originally for this ordinary greetings. Zhou Zhong only needed to nod. But for this middle-aged official. Zhou Zhong deliberately stopped and said: "Yan Hanlin, why are you here, if this king is not mistaken, discussing the details of the bank's business with those businessmen inside should be Wu Hanlin, who is also from the Hanlin Academy as you?" ”

If it was an ordinary official, Zhou Zhong would naturally ignore it, but now the Hanlin surnamed Yan in front of him was not ordinary, because his name was Yan Song. That's right, it's the big traitor Yan Song in history, but now he hasn't achieved a very good minister, but a small bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, this position is not high, but it is an extremely noble position, and it is easy to be promoted in the future, but Yan Song's luck is not very good, he has been in the Hanlin Academy for five or six years, but he has not been able to find a chance to get ahead. This time, he finally seized the opportunity of Zhou Chong to establish a central bank, and finally transferred out of the Hanlin Academy. Become a mid-level official in the central bank.

Zhou Zhong attaches great importance to the establishment of the central bank, and he also personally checks every official who enters the bank, and when he sees the name Yan Song from the official's information, he is also shocked, he didn't expect such a big fish to be mixed in his bank team.

Originally, Zhou Chong wanted to drive Yan Song away directly, but in the spirit of being responsible, Zhou Chong still met Yan Song in person, and he was surprised to find that although this Yan Song has a bad reputation in history, he is an extremely rare talent, and even draws inferences from one another, just from the news that Zhou Chong inadvertently leaked, he actually speculated about the function of the central bank, and even put forward some of his own opinions on the central bank.

It is precisely because of this that Zhou Chong finally agreed to let Yan Song enter the central bank, after all, there is too much shortage of people in the central bank now, especially talents like Yan Song who can deeply understand the essence of the central bank, which Zhou Chong is very eager for, so even if Zhou Chong knew that Yan Song was not a good person, he still hired him.

Yan Song heard Zhou Chong's question, and immediately held the scroll and saluted again: "Lord Qiqi, Wu Hanlin drank last night, but accidentally fell, and he really couldn't get up today, so he asked for leave, Xia Guan is usually good friends with Wu Hanlin, and he is also very familiar with what he has to do, so I will temporarily replace Wu Hanlin today!" ”

Zhou Chong didn't say anything special about Yan Song's answer, and nodded at the moment and said: "That's it, then you can go in quickly, but although the people inside are all businessmen, they will be subordinates of the Daming Central Bank in the future, so don't be too arrogant to them, and treat people with courtesy at all times!" ”

"What the prince taught me is that the lower officials should remember the teachings!" Yan Song saluted again with a very respectful attitude.

During this period of time, Yan Song has always respected Zhou Chong very much, but the more he is like this, the more uneasy Zhou Chong is, because he knows that Yan Song in history has a friend named Xia Yan, who is half a teacher and half friend, this Xia Yan was earlier than Yan Song, Yan Song is also respectful to Xia Yan everywhere, and later he took advantage of Xia Yan's promotion to gain power, but he slandered Xia Yan in every way, and finally Xia Yan was not only assigned to the army by him, but even died in the hands of Yan Song in the end.

"By the way, what are you going to say to those merchants today?" Zhou Zhong suddenly asked, today is the first day of contact between the central bank and those merchants of the bank, in addition to using the face of King Zhao to settle down those merchants, the next thing is how to accept the hearts of the officials of the central bank.

"Lord Qiyu, just now with your majesty, you have made those merchants settle down, but if you want to convince people's hearts, you naturally want to be gracious and powerful, and now it's time to give those merchants a sweet date to eat, only those merchants see the benefits, and they will follow the decree of the court in the future!" Yan Song still spoke respectfully.

No matter how Yan Song looks at it now, he looks like an ordinary official who is serious about things, except that he is smarter than ordinary people and thinks about things more thoughtfully, there is nothing special about it in other aspects, at least Zhou Zhong has not seen it these days.

"Oh? Then you can tell me, how to give those merchants a sweet date to eat? Zhou Chong asked again, he wanted to consider this Yan Song, after all, he could be the most famous traitor in the Ming Dynasty, which showed that he must have something extraordinary, but he didn't show it now.

"Qi Yu Wangye, Xia Guan carefully read the bank charter written by the prince himself several times, and finally found that if the central bank can really succeed, then it will have an immeasurable impact on my Ming Dynasty, as for those kinds of money-making business, Xia Guan also has some experience, today I am ready to re-issue the Ming treasure banknote to explain it, but Xia Guan feels that the treasure banknote issued by the bank in the future is best to change the name, after all, the name of the previous Ming treasure banknote has been stinky, if you still use the original name, I'm afraid no one wants to use this kind of paper money. "Yan Song is worthy of being called the first traitor of the Ming Dynasty, and he really has extraordinary talents, not to mention anything else, this comprehension alone is not comparable to ordinary people.

The so-called Daming treasure banknote, in fact, is the Ming Dynasty banknotes, but no one in the Ming Dynasty understands the economic laws at all, thinking that as long as the unlimited printing money, there will be endless money, and only send but not receive, the result finally led to the Ming treasure banknote indiscriminately, from the beginning of the consistent treasure banknote for a stone of rice, into a hundred treasure banknotes to change a stone of rice, and even many merchants are not willing to accept treasure money at all, to Zhengde when the government, the Ming treasure banknote was directly abolished, it is also one of the few good things for Zhengde to govern.

"Yes, on the first day to negotiate with those businessmen about the occurrence of paper money, this is a good way to make money, as for the name of the Ming treasure banknote stinks, then simply call the banknote forget it, in addition you also have to understand one thing, if you want to make the banknote not as indiscriminate as the Ming treasure banknote, it must be issued according to the number of silver deposits in each bank, of course, it is not that one or two silver can only issue one or two silver banknotes, but can issue two taels, or even three taels of banknotes, so that the banknotes are two to three times more than silver, However, the money is not for those merchants, but must go to the treasury, and the merchants can only get a small share of it, and the issuance of banknotes is only the power of the central bank, and if others dare to issue it privately, they must be severely punished! Speaking of issuing banknotes, Zhou Zhong also attaches great importance to it, so he can't help but explain a few more words, in fact, his words have been written very clearly in the previous charter, presumably Yan Song has also studied it very thoroughly.

"What the prince said is very true, the lower officials must explain it clearly to those merchants, so that they can understand the pros and cons!" Although Yan Song had long understood the process of issuing banknotes, he did not show any impatience for Zhou Chong's explanation, but still replied respectfully. Although Zhou Zhong knew that the person in front of him was a great traitor in history, it was difficult to have a bad feeling for him in his heart.

"Yes, Yan Hanlin is worthy of being a thoughtful person, although the central bank is a newly established institution of the imperial court, but it is a promising place, and this king can't put all his energy on the bank, and in the future, he will inevitably let people with excellent performance in the bank take over, which this king is very optimistic about Yan Hanlin!" Zhou Zhong praised with a smile.

Originally, Zhou Chong was still a little jealous of Yan Song, but just now he suddenly felt that he was a little too careful, after all, because of his own reasons, the history of the Ming Dynasty has already changed, not to mention anything else, the later Emperor Jiajing will definitely not be able to ascend the throne, because even if Zhengde is dead, either Zhou Chong ascends the throne, or Zhou Chong's son ascends the throne, and it is not the turn of others at all, and Yan Song is relying on the favor of Emperor Jiajing to gain power, as the so-called times create heroes, similarly, traitors are also created by the times, and now the times have changed, Yan Song may only be an ordinary Ming courtier.
