Shi Kefa was very bad with Han Shoujing before he became a eunuch.

After all, one used to be the secretary of the Nanjing Military Department, and the other used to be the eunuch of Nanjing, both of whom were the leaders of Nanjing City, so naturally no one obeyed anyone.

Now although Shi Kefa and Han Shoujing have become eunuchs, they have both become ceremonial eunuchs.

Therefore, Shi Kefa still can't get used to Han Shoujing.

Of course, Shi Kefa could also hear that Han Shoujing was secretly sarcastic in his tone, but what Shi Kefa wanted to know more was what Han Shoujing was saying to His Majesty Zhu Youzhen, which actually made His Majesty Zhu Youzhen smile.

Shi Kefa secretly thought that there was no need to guess that he was bewitching the king to do something wrong.

Shi Kefa couldn't help but secretly scold that it was with a minister like Han Shoujing that the Ming Dynasty led to today's situation.

Han Shoujing ignored Shi Kefa's eyes that ate him, and now he replied to Zhu Youzhen with a sneer: "The slave doesn't dare to mistake Your Majesty's business, Your Majesty wants a few reliable people who know Qianzhuang, and the slave and maid brought it to you." ”

Zhu Youzhen knew very well that if he wanted to implement the currency reform and open a bank, he had to find a few giant businessmen who were familiar with the business of money banks and had also experienced the trading of large quantities of goods.

It is impossible to find court officials to do these things, and these people who have read poetry and books basically have no concept of these things.

What's more, Zhu Youzhen doesn't want the future financial institutions of the Ming Dynasty to let civil officials interfere, this important department that may control the lifeline of the Ming economy in the future, he has to control it in his own hands.

Therefore, he chose Han Shoujing, who is loyal and flexible, to preside over the matter.

The first thing Zhu Youzhen asked Han Shoujing to do when he set up a bank was to recruit a few wealthy businessmen who were familiar with the business of the money bank and knew about business activities.

Han Shoujing has been in Nanjing for so many years, and he has also purchased a lot of private properties, and he also has a lot of connections in the business world, so it is naturally not difficult to find a few conscientious businessmen who are familiar with the business of money and are reliable.

Zhu Youzhen couldn't help but get excited when he heard this: "Quick, send someone to summon them into the palace immediately, and at the same time, you introduce these two people to me first." ”

"Obey the order, one is Wang Jiaqin, this person is a student of Ningbo Prefecture, his ancestors are Hui merchants, and his maternal grandfather is Yin Zhengmao, the secretary of the Nanjing Military Department of the Wanli Dynasty, this person and Zheng Chenggong, the son of Zheng Zhilong, and Fang Yizhi, a student of the Fushe Society, have a good friendship with wisdom, and he is good at miscellaneous learning, and he has become a giant businessman in Ningbo in two or three years, and he is quite proficient in business;

There is also a person named Yang Mingshen, this person is the Wanli Dynasty military department Shangshu Yang Bo, the Jin merchant family, the entire Ming Dynasty belongs to his family with the most silver number, this person is quite righteous, not like other Jin merchants, heard that the Beijing division fell, shut down the North Zhili and Shanxi Shaanxi all over the silver number, and now also migrated the industry to Nanjing. ”

Wang Jiaqin, Zhu Youzhen knew that he was one of the six righteous men of Ningbo who resisted the Qing Dynasty in the original history, but Zhu Youzhen didn't expect this person to have such a background.

As for the children of eunuchs like Yang Mingshen, Zhu Youzhen doesn't know, but Yang Bo knows it, and even Yan Shifan in the Jiajing period was afraid of this person, which shows how not simple this person is.

As soon as Zhu Youzhen returned to the Qianqing Palace, he had just finished washing and tidying up his clothes under Chen Yuanyuan's service, when he saw Han Shoujing leading these two middle-aged men wearing square scarves and walking in.

However, Zhu Youzhen found that the two people did not seem to be surprised by the furnishings of the Qianqing Palace, they were very calm, and even disagreed.

"Student Wang Jiaqin has seen Your Majesty!"

"Student Yang Mingshen has seen Your Majesty!"

The two of them saluted Zhu Youzhen very well.

As far as I know, your Wang Jiaqin's maternal grandfather Yin Zhengmao and your Yang Mingshen's great-grandfather Yang Bo are both participants in the Wanli New Deal, and they can be regarded as the reformers who were vigorously reforming Wanli back then.

Zhu Youzhen asked the two directly to the point, and moving out the proud figures in the two families could be regarded as an encouragement to them.

Wang Jiaqin and Yang Mingshen were originally mad, and they were despised by the family because they were not famous and failed to enter the official career, and finally had to go to business, and now they heard that His Majesty the Emperor Zhu Youzhen asked them to keep up with the most powerful figures in their family, and naturally became impassioned: "Students are willing!" ”

"The title of student is very good, although you are students, you are not considered Jinshi, but today I will give you the same Jinshi background, be my protégé of the Son of Heaven, pass on the cabinet, and grant the same Jinshi Wang Jiaqin and Yang Mingshen as the head of the household department, and cooperate with the eunuch Han Shoujing, the eunuch of the ceremonial supervisor, Bingbi, and Qi Biaojia, the right attendant of the household department, to handle the affairs of the central bank of the Ming Dynasty."

When Zhu Youzhen said this, Wang Jiaqin and Yang Mingshen hurriedly thanked him.

And Yang Mingshen obviously has an intuitive familiarity with the Daming Central Bank mentioned by Zhu Youzhen:

"Dare to ask what Your Majesty means by the Daming Central Bank?"

Zhu Youzhen could understand that they didn't know this kind of modern vocabulary, so he explained in person: "It's similar to your family's silver number money bank, I will ask Han Shoujing to give you information later, and you yourself will take it to study it carefully, if you don't understand anything, you can come and ask me directly." ”

Saying that, Zhu Youzhen asked Han Shoujing to give the two of them gold medals to enter the palace.

Although Zhu Youzhen knows that monetary reform is imminent, he also knows that many times things cannot be rushed, especially if this kind of new thing has already been produced in his embryonic state, if he rushes it, it is likely to backfire.

Therefore, Zhu Youzhen did not urge these two people, but slowly and seriously explored a plan with these two people and Han Shoujing.

After all, what Zhu Youzhen asked was to make all transactions in Daming use the currency of the Daming Central Bank in the fastest possible time, which is not feasible.

This means that the central bank cannot have only one place in Nanjing, he must have multiple branch numbers, and establish exchange credibility in the fastest time.

Wang Jiaqin and Yang Mingshen are not stupid people, plus they have been in business for a long time and can understand some financial concepts.

Moreover, Yang Mingshen even dared to suggest that the Daming Central Bank be established on the basis of his Yang Jiayin, so that the Daming Central Bank can be opened throughout the Ming Dynasty in a short period of time, and there are the first batch of customers who have fixed currency exchanges, and the apprentices of the shopkeepers who do specific things are also ready-made, and the training is much less difficult, and there are even special training institutions.

Yang Mingshen is obviously a wise businessman, he smelled the opportunity here, in order to become Zhu Youzhen's imperial merchant, the agent of Daming Finance, he expressed his willingness to give up seventy percent of the profits of the Yang family, and even to give all the shops and the servants who run the industry for the Yang family to the royal family.

Zhu Youzhen can't let Yang Mingshen be so casual, and directly lower it to the point that the Yang family can only get one percent.

Wang Jiaqin was also unwilling to let the Yang family make a fortune with the royal family alone, and expressed his willingness to take out two million taels to buy half of the shares.

Considering that once a big capitalist like the Yang family appears in the future, he needs to be checked and balanced, Zhu Youzhen agreed to Wang Jiaqin's request, but rejected the Yang family's request to continue to take silver as shares.

And Han Shoujing was also allowed by Zhu Youzhen to hand over one million taels and get half of the share.

In addition, Zhu Youzhen gave a part of the shares to the civil and military officials above the fourth rank and above in Beijing and the local civil and military officials above the third rank, and the soldiers of the Guards and the craftsmen managed by the Ministry of War and Industry also had a part of the shares.

These shares are not high, and may not be much for the rulers of many empires today.

But they will know in the future that this is actually the high salary and incorruptible silver that Zhu Youzhen gave them, and it is also the beginning of Zhu Youzhen's intention to tie them up on the chariot of foreign expansion that pursues interests with the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Youzhen got most of the profits for himself.

For an altruistic emperor who handed over all the commercial taxes and duties that should have been attributed to the treasury to the treasury, it would be nothing more good in the future.

After all, it costs money to build gardens, open museums, and establish an academy of sciences in the future.
