Li Zhen picked up a pencil, then took a blank piece of paper, and drew a rickshaw on the drawing, and also drew a bicycle out. Li Zhen put the drawings in front of Wang Chi's eyes, scratched his head and said: "In these two paintings, the bicycle is the premise of the birth of the human-powered tricycle, and it is necessary to have a bicycle to modify the human-powered tricycle. You come here, I will explain it to you carefully, and then after you go back to Nanjing, it is convenient to find a craftsman to make it. ”

Wang Chi stood in front of Li Zhen and listened carefully to Li Zhen's explanation.

From the use of bicycles to the manufacture of bicycles, Li Zhen talked about it roughly.

After finishing speaking, Li Zhen smiled slightly and said: "To manufacture these parts, simple people can't complete them, and they need Dai Yuanhua's support." After you go to Nanjing, you can send someone to contact Dai Yuanhua again and make it as soon as possible. Selling at home, or selling abroad, is a channel to make money. This is the way you can make money in the new stage. ”

Wang Chi said with emotion: "The teacher is really a heavenly man, I don't know how you came up with it." ”

Li Zhen said: "Relying on the head, you can naturally come up with it." ”

In fact, Li Zhen has the memory of later generations, so he can have so many wonderful ideas, and these things are actually very simple things in later generations, almost not worth mentioning.

It's just that a lot of things can't be made, after all, technology can't keep up.

Wang Chi carefully put away the drawings like a treasure, and then borrowed a blank piece of paper from Li Zhen, took a pen, carefully recorded what Li Zhen had just explained, and finally put them in his pocket before sitting down and saying, "Teacher, there has been a problem in Guangdong recently, do you know?" ”

"Guangdong, what's the problem?"

Li Zhen was stunned, thinking to himself that the bank had just had an accident, could there be something else.

Wang Chi said: "It's about the bank, and the disciple got the news that the bank has a financial crisis. The specific thing was set off by a British missionary, who leaked the bank's lack of money, and also released rumors that the bank was about to collapse, and rumors that some officials had rolled up the money and ran away, etc., causing countless people to flock to the bank to withdraw money, almost causing the bank to collapse. Now, there is a problem with the bank's capital chain. ”

Li Zhen nodded and said, "I already know about this matter, and I am thinking about a solution!" ”

Wang Chi said: "Teacher, this is very simple, just raise money!" ”

Li Zhen said: "How can there be such a simple thing, why do people give you money for no reason?" This, unreliable. ”

Wang Chi smiled and said, "Isn't it easy to get money out of a merchant's pocket?" When a businessman has money, especially a big businessman, after the money has accumulated to a certain point, the degree of importance to money will decrease, and what he wants in his heart is to have a status and stabilize his money. As long as the teacher gives these businessmen certain status rights, everything will be easy. ”

"No, the example is open, and it can't be controlled in the future."

Li Zhen understood what Wang Chi meant and resolutely opposed it.

Once the trend of businessmen using money to buy officials is opened, the officials below will definitely follow suit. When the time comes, the consequences will be far beyond the inability of a bank to operate. Li Zhen's expression was serious, and he said in a deep voice: "I agree with the fact that businessmen should have status, but it is absolutely not to let businessmen buy power with money, this article must not be enforced." ”

Wang Chi said: "The disciple just put forward a little reference, and it is all up to the teacher's decision!" ”

The corners of Li Zhen's mouth hooked up a smile and said, "However, your opinion is not without merit. ”

Wang Chi's eyes lit up and asked, "What does the teacher think?" ”

Li Zhen said: "As the old saying goes, profit seduces each other! ”

Wang Chi said: "Even if you tempt with profit, there must be a way to tempt!" ”

Li Zhen smiled slightly and said, "Wait a while, you'll know!" After a pause, Li Zhen shouted: "Someone, inform Zeng Guofan to come to the presidential palace, there is something important to discuss." Whatever he does, let him as soon as possible. ”

"Yes!"

The soldier replied and quickly went to give the order.

Wang Chi was confused and asked, "Teacher, this is a business problem, how did you get in touch with Premier Zeng?" ”

Li Zhen said: "It really has a certain relationship! ”

After a short time, Zeng Guofan came to the presidential palace in a fit of breath. After he saw Li Zhen, he stopped and took a breath before he spoke: "President, you are in a hurry to find me, is there anything wrong?" ”

Li Zhen waved his hand and said, "Sit down and say!" ”

Zeng Guofan sat down as he said, and looked at Li Zhen again.

The same is true for Wang Chi.

Wang Chi mentioned business issues, while Zeng Guofan was responsible for people's livelihood issues, or the promotion of officials, etc., and there was no direct connection between the two. Now, Li Zhen has invited both of them together, what is going on?

Li Zhen asked, "Brother Bohan, what's going on with Baguwen?" ”

When Zeng Guofan heard this, he had an embarrassed expression on his face, and sighed: "This matter has become a big deal, and I support the absolute support of Baguwen, and even want to go on a hunger strike to resist." And those who oppose Baguwen are also sworn to support, and the people on both sides have become two extremes, which is not easy to regulate. The people who organized themselves quarreled every day, endlessly, and could not discuss specific modifications. ”

Li Zhen said: "I came up with an idea that could solve this problem. ”

"How to fix it?" Zeng Guofan asked.

At this moment, Wang Chi was confused, did this have anything to do with the proposal just now?

The answer is obvious, nothing to do!

Li Zhen didn't talk to Wang Chi, and continued: "The scientific examination and selection officer of Baguwen will not be completely abolished, and will continue to be retained. However, the number of people selected immediately decreased, and the last selected people were no longer assigned to the rank of jinshi or the like, and were directly assigned to official positions after being selected. Weaken the influence of the Eight Strands. Whether it is the number of selections, the difficulty of selection, and the size of the official positions selected to be officials, they all weigh me down, and they are overwhelming the lowest. Let's weaken the Baguwen, but leave some way out for the people who do the Baguwen. ”

"Secondly, about the creation of new learning. New schools could be modeled after those in European countries, with different subjects for students to learn, and then provincial officials could set them up in various places. ”

Li Zhenlang said: "Anyone who enters the new school to study, as long as they graduate, pass the examination, and directly arrange for official positions. These official positions are of various types, and there are official positions anyway! With this promotion channel, countless people will participate. Including the officials of the provinces, I believe that these people will also let their relatives participate, so that they can definitely form a group that can compete with the eight forces! ”

After a pause, Li Zhen looked at Wang Chi and said, "Wang Chi, according to what you said, I will use this to lure the merchants." For those who are willing to donate money to help the bank, I will give a few places, and promise that as long as the disciples they send are good enough to meet my assessment, they will be directly awarded official positions after graduation. That's big enough. ”

Wang Chi's eyes widened suddenly, revealing a look of surprise.

The implementation of this strategy can be linked to banking and education reform, which is quite powerful.
