Chapter 234: Dividing the Forces
Tang Yifu waited for Ji Qingchen in the study with Zhang Rang and Guo Quan for a long time, today's memories are related to their future fate, they don't dare to be careless at all, but they heard that His Royal Highness the Ninth is drinking and chatting with the fourth prince and the seventh prince, so they can only stay in the study with peace of mind.
Among the three people, Zhang Rang's heart is the most down-to-earth, he is not worried about his way out, because he is Ji Qingchen's personal eunuch, and Ji Qingchen is tied together, as long as Ji Qingchen is in a cage, he will not be far from death, and as long as Ji Qingchen ascends to the sky in one step, he will also soar, so he will be so dedicated to Ji Qingchen, the only thing he is worried about now is Ji Qingchen's treatment of the "inner factory", because the "inner factory" was established by him, just like his child, Now that he is imprisoned in the palace like Ji Qingchen, he can't leave the palace for half a step within three years, and the handling of this inner factory has become a big problem in his mind. And Guo Quan's worry is about his own way out and the future of the "iron suit", he has the same mind as Zhang Rang, the "iron suit" was established by him, just like his child, he doesn't want to dissolve the "iron suit" because of Ji Qingchen's imprisonment, and his own way out has become a problem, Zhang Rang is a eunuch sent to Ji Qingchen by Zongzheng Temple, and he can be imprisoned with Ji Qingchen, he is Ji Qingchen's staff, but he can't be like Zhang Rang.
As for Tang Yifu, what he was worried about was not the impact of Ji Qingchen's imprisonment on the development of Huitong Bank, but the Shangzhou Wei family. Because the current Huitong Bank can already compete with Shangzhou Wei's Qianzhuang Division, the former Wei's Zhilu Dao Huitong Bank is Ji Qingchen's, so he didn't deal with Tang Yifu ruthlessly, but now it's different, once Ji Qingchen is imprisoned, this prison will be three years, God knows how Wei's will deal with himself and Huitong Bank in the past three years, this is the problem that Tang Yifu is most worried about. Because even if the current Huitong Bank is Ji Qingchen's, he is just a big manager, but Huitong Bank was established by him, it is his ideal, and it is his hard work, and he doesn't want to be ruined in vain because of Ji Qingchen's imprisonment.
Just when the three of them were thinking about their own future, Ji Qingchen and Shu'er walked into the study together.
"See Your Highness, see the Princess!" Zhang Rang, Guo Quan, and Tang Yifu immediately saluted.
"Don't be polite, sit down, let's have a good talk today." Ji Qingchen said with a smile, "Shu'er, give me tea!" ”
And Shu'er only nodded very obediently, and went out to serve tea.
came back in the middle of the ring, put a cup of tea in front of Zhang Rang, Guo Quan, and Tang Yifu, so that the three of them were very moved, and let the princess pour the tea herself, which is a great honor, which shows the importance that His Royal Highness attaches to them.
This is Ji Qingchen's way of controlling, bit by bit, without revealing traces, it can give subordinates a feeling of being heavy.
"You have already known the punishment of this king, and this king will spend the next three years in this palace! But the king's decision is that what you have done before, and what you will continue to do in the future, will not change because the king is imprisoned. Ji Qingchen said.
After a pause, he moved his gaze to Zhang Rang and said, "You are the person who wants to follow the king, you can't leave the palace for three years, but the 'inner factory' still needs you to manage, you will hand over the 'inner factory' to your henchmen, let them lurk in the manor outside the city, and communicate with them once a month. ”
"No!" Zhang Rang led the order and said, communicate with the inner factory once a month, this is enough, this is enough for him to control the "inner factory" in the mansion But how to communicate with the inner factory, how can he hide from the guard Yu Lin Qi at the gate, this does not need him to worry, because he knows that with the ability of His Royal Highness, this problem is not difficult to solve.
"Brother Guo, you and Xiang'er must leave King's Landing, and the 'Iron Suit' must also leave with you." Ji Qingchen moved his gaze to Guo Quanquan again and said, "However, this king has prepared two places for you, and after you arrive in these two places, the 'Iron Suit' can still continue to develop, just wait for the day when this king leaves the mansion, and then make great progress." ”
"However, it depends on where Brother Guo chooses to go!" Ji Qingchen said.
Seeing that Guo Quanwei nodded slightly and agreed with his arrangement, he said, "One of these two places is Beiliao and the other is Beirong, you can choose one!" ”
"Your Highness, I'll go to Beirong." Guo persuaded him.
"Oh, what's this for?" Ji Qingchen asked in surprise, Guo Quan, instead of choosing to go to Beiliao, which is more powerful and can help him the most, he went to Beirong, where Beirong soldiers live together, which made him very curious.
"Beiliao is located in the pass, no matter how hidden the 'iron suit' is, it will be discovered by the enemy, but Beirong is different, Beirong is located outside the pass, as long as it can hold the Yanmen Pass, it is difficult for Beirong to be infiltrated by others, and the 'iron suit' is a little safer." Guo Quan's reply, "What's more, Beirong is suitable for military training. ”
"Well, since you plan to go to Beirong, this king won't say anything, this is the word that this king wrote to Meng Li and Zhou Shun, you give them the letter, and they will know what to do." Ji Qingchen handed the two letters to Guo and persuaded him, "For the safety of the 'iron suit', you will leave tonight." ”
This is not Ji Qingchen's alarmism, but a fact. Because the crown princess and Wang You, Ji Qian and others knew the strength of the "iron clothes". Now that Ji Qingchen has been severely punished by Emperor Yan and is about to be imprisoned in the palace, this time is the best time for them to eradicate the "iron suit", how can they let it go, so the sooner Guo Quanhe and the "iron suit" leave, the better it will be for them.
"No!" Guo persuaded the order and strode out of the study.
It wasn't until Guo persuaded Ji Qingchen to leave that he said to Tang Yifu, "Tell me what you think!" ”
Tang Yifu saw that Ji Qingchen had arranged Zhang Rang and Guo Quan's very properly, so he had confidence in the survival of Huitong Bank after Ji Qingchen was imprisoned, because he believed that Ji Qingchen must have arrangements for Huitong Bank, so when he saw Ji Qingchen say this, he thought about it for a while and said, "If I go back to Your Highness, I am going to open branches to the states of Dayan within three years, and then make transactions with the imperial court after three years, and prepare to use Huitong Bank as the only officially recognized currency issuer to issue currency." ”
"Did you say you wanted to mint money?" Ji Qingchen asked, he didn't know much about this aspect.
"Your Highness, it's not an ordinary coinage, but paper money." Tang Yifu replied, "It is to replace copper coins and gold and silver with paper money as a means of circulation." This not only facilitated the merchants' transactions, but also alleviated the shortage of gold, silver and copper in the imperial court. ”
"Well, you go on." Ji Qingchen nodded slightly.
"Of course, there is a transition before this, that is, gold coins, silver coins and copper coins will be issued first to replace copper coins, and then paper money will be used to replace gold, silver and copper coins, but these three silver coins can still be circulated, so that people can use the paper money we issue more confidently."
"This, you say it in detail, but this king doesn't understand?" Ji Qingchen asked.
"It is to link the paper money we issue with gold coins, which can be exchanged with each other, and gold coins can also be exchanged with silver coins and copper coins, so that people can exchange paper money for gold coins, and gold coins can also be exchanged for paper money, and the credibility of the paper money we issue will be improved a lot, so as to be more widely recognized." Tang replied briefly.
"Aren't you afraid of being emulated by Webster?" Ji Qingchen asked.
"Therefore, it is necessary for the imperial court to recognize that we are the only officially recognized institution for issuing paper money, and in order to curb the deliberate use of gold and silver to run on us, we must issue gold, silver, and copper coins, and use these three currencies as proofs, so as to curb the undivided thoughts of people with ulterior motives." When it comes to finance, Tang Yifu has changed his appearance, completely becoming a well-educated person, not a pedantic scholar.
"Not bad, not bad!" After listening to this, Ji Qingchen continued to ask, "What are you talking about a deal with the imperial court?" ”
"That is, the imperial court mortgages the taxes of the states to us, and we pay for the imperial court, so that the imperial court can raise soldiers and officials, and ......" Tang Yifu continued to talk eloquently, but when Ji Qingchen heard this, he already knew how big Tang Yifu's ambitions were, as long as this step is completed, it is estimated that the future Dayan will be his Ji Qingchen has the final say, even if he can't compete with your brothers, can't be the prince, and can't ascend to the position of the Son of Heaven, as long as the system Tang Yifu said is established, plus the 600,000 elite soldiers of Northern Liao and Beirong, his power will not be much lower than the emperor.
"Okay, the king doesn't understand the bank's affairs, so I'll leave it all to you." Ji Qingchen said, "However, during the three years that this king was imprisoned, if the imperial court cut off the food and salary of Beiliao and Beirong in order to reduce the army, you must supply them immediately. Ji Qingchen said.
"Your Highness, rest assured, this Shaw understands!" Tang Yifu hurriedly replied.
"Well, as for the Wei clan to trouble you in the future, you will go to His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince, King Lu, he will help you solve the problem, but he will not help you in vain, you have to remember this." Ji Qingchen said.
"Yes." When Tang Yifu heard that Ji Qingchen had arranged for him to be recruited, his heart was even more refreshed, and he hurriedly agreed.
"Then you go back, don't come to the house in the future, even if you come, you won't be able to see this king, this king will let Zhang Rang contact you." Ji Qingchen said in a low voice.
Tang Yifu received the order, bowed down and withdrew from the study, leaving the Northern Liao Palace.
"Zhang Rang, how do you control Huitong Bank?" Ji Qingchen asked Zhang Rang on the side, he didn't dare to completely hand over Huitong Bank to Tang Yifu, especially after Tang Yifu described to him the status of Huitong Bank in the future Dayan, he didn't want to take this risk.
"As long as His Highness is not satisfied with Tang Yifu, the slave can let him get out of the way now, and it will not affect the development of Huitong Bank in the future." Zhang Rang replied.
"That's good! That's it! Ji Qingchen breathed a sigh of relief, and was unwary of Zhang Rang, because Zhang Rang could only die without him, and he could only be loyal to him alone.
