Chapter 508
"I heard you're in trouble?" Junzi brought a cup of tea, and Ai Husheng stood there holding it with both hands.
"One of the heads of the household department secretly stole the minted coins, and he has been severely punished." Ai Husheng held the teacup in both hands and bowed in reply.
"Sit down! It's not your fault in this matter, and the court doesn't have that many suitable people to use now. There was no choice but to use some former household officials. These people are inextricably linked with Nanming's side. It's inevitable that something will go wrong, and you don't have to blame yourself. Li Xiao pointed to a chair and motioned for Ai Husheng to sit and speak.
Li Xiao commanded, and Ai Husheng dared to sit on the chair. His ass had just been put on the edge of the chair, and he looked like he was ready to stand up at any moment.
"Thank you, handsome! It's just that this matter is in the household department, and the subordinates also have the crime of not being strict in employing people without knowing it, and they have reported to the court to reduce the punishment. β
"What I just said is not only what I meant, but also what Mr. Sun meant. Emperor Sizong left this mess, which can be said to be a mountain of evils. In one fell swoop, the Donglin Party was destroyed, and the officials and gentry were integrated into the errand and paid for food. Watching the people live better and better, but we have offended the world's scholars.
This governs the country, and it is necessary to use scholars. Illiterate, he couldn't even read the official documents of the imperial court. How else to issue a court decree? How else to manage the place?
All of a sudden, we couldn't find so many literate people to work as errands. What to do? can only use the disciples and grandchildren of the Donglin Party, and it is not surprising that such a thing happened in your household. In other ministries, there have been even more ridiculous things.
Fortunately, the country has passed the period of war, and a large number of officers can be freed up to serve as local officials at all levels. In addition, some innocent people were promoted among the original local officials.
It's a bit far, and now the court has stopped Enko. All ministries organized schools, and the navy set up a ship master school. The Army Military Academy was the first to be established, and now it is able to train more than 700 officers every year.
The Ministry of Railways is also running a railway university, and the Ministry of Water Resources is running Hohai University. The Ministry of Engineering is running an engineering college, and you can also run a university in the Ministry of Household Affairs in order to train financial professionals.
This headmaster has to be chosen from among your cronies. If you don't have a Donglin background, you can absolutely trust and be reliable. Of course, you have to have two brushes under your hands. A soldier bears a nest of bears. A half-baked principal, you expect him to teach you a bunch of students with half a bucket of water?
If the problem of talent is solved, things will be easier to do in the future. β
"No! The subordinates will go back and find the right person to plan. β
"Hmm!" Li Xiao nodded, the issue of talent is now the first thing. As soon as possible, kick out those sons and grandsons of the Donglin Party who are in violation of yin and yang and have extremely low work efficiency. Now there is no one available, and they have to be used.
"Shuai, this is a newly minted sample money. In addition to inheriting the previous experience, a few small serrations have been added to the outer ring. There is also shallow embossing on the surface, which can only be made by the stamping process, and the casting process is impossible to make.
This kind of hydraulic press is only available in Changxing Island. If it is forcibly cast and faked, it will not be seen by the professionals of the user department, or any old farmer. Ai Husheng took out a brocade box from his arms. Open the brocade box and take out a few coins from inside.
Li Xiao glanced at it, and it was still one, two, five, ten, one, two, five, two, five, and ten taels.
However, this coin is different from the previous one, except for the addition of three small serrations on the outer ring. The embossing on both sides is also very clear, and the bumpiness is obvious when touched by hand. Li Xiao nodded, with the casting process of this year, it is absolutely impossible to mint such a coin. Even if it is cast, the blind man can know the truth and falsity when he touches it.
"This thing is well done, I came back this time to sit in the center. These money can be exchanged for the entire Ming Dynasty through the bargain shop. Three years later, I no longer allowed the use of silver and copper coins. Li Xiao hated the strange shape of the silver dipped in saliva, and the excessive oxidation of the black pitch.
"The exchange business of the cheap square has been separated from the main business. Xie Youcai's errand is very good, according to the meaning of the big handsome, the newly separated business name is called the bank. The main application is to absorb deposits and lend money.
I don't know what method Xie Youcai used, so he invited the proud protΓ©gΓ© of the arithmetic master Cheng Dawei to sit in the head office and various branches. In the past six months of operation, the banking business has not gone wrong with a single money.
At present, there are already bank branches in Liaodong, Hebei and Shandong provinces. Provincial capitals in Shanxi, Shaanxi, Henan, Anhui and other places also have branches. Xie Youcai is now going to Jiangnan, and he is going to set up a branch in Jiangnan as well.
If the banks are fully rolled out, they will only need to carry bills of exchange with them in the future, and they will not have to risk carrying so much cash. This will definitely have a great effect on promoting the world's trade routes. β
"You only see this side, the imperial court can encourage the development of private capital by issuing loans. Don't look at the fact that there are so many factories in Gyeonggi, Shandong, and Liaodong, but how many workers can be used in these factories?
If you want more people to have jobs, you have to rely on a large number of private enterprises. The more people who work, the more people who get paid. In addition to supporting their families, they can buy all kinds of things.
With their consumption, there will be people to sell goods, and factories will have more orders. In this way, money can be circulated, the country's tax revenue can be increased, and the people can live happily. This is a matter related to the overall situation of the world, so don't be careless.
In addition, although Xie Youcai is talented, you don't have to be a hands-off shopkeeper, and you have to keep up with this supervision mechanism. Usually give Xie Youcai a reminder that his net worth is rich enough, don't stretch out your hand where you shouldn't. Just say that I said it, and make trouble. It is a common plan for the world and a plan for hundreds of millions of people in the Ming Dynasty. I am afraid that the love of these years cannot be considered. β
"No! The subordinates understood, so they went back and talked to Xie Youcai in person. "Ai Husheng is a smart person, and he knows that Li Xiao's words are not only said to Xie Youcai, but also to him Ai Husheng. As the head of the household, he controls the financial power of the world. If the hand moves, it is silver in ten thousand.
On weekdays, there is naturally an endless stream of people to eat, drink, and entertain, and even the annual harvest of ice and carbon is not a small amount. In Li Xiao's words, he said that the relationship with Xie Youcai for so many years can't be considered, so how can he be an exception?
I have heard that the imperial court wants to have a supervision department in addition to the six ministries. The Ministry of Supervision supervises the six departments of 100 officials, uh...... Now it has added the Ministry of Railways and the Ministry of Water and Power, and there are eight ministries.
Everyone didn't dare to say it, but everyone knew it in their hearts. This Ministry of Supervision is probably the former Dongchang Jinyiwei, look at who walks in the Ministry of Supervision every day. It is still Lao Chen Fu who is in charge, and it is Li Yongfang who is busy inside and out all day long. and his daughter, Luzhu, who is running around in the capital all day long. And the hand has been stretched out, and the provincial governments already have inspectorates.
This year's "Da Ming Law" has also changed a lot, and many laws are marked with words such as beheading and sentling. I'm afraid that after this autumn, someone will suffer.
The more I thought about it, the cooler my back became, and when I walked out of Li Xiao's mansion, my legs were a little weak. When I sat on the sedan chair, my heart was still pounding.
I was distraught and couldn't go to work, so I just went home and talked about it slowly. Xie Youcai is not busy with things first, and the people in his own family have to tell him not to stretch out his hand.
When I got home, I collapsed on the couch. Eyes look at the ceiling!
"Sir! What's going on. Hearing that Ai Husheng was not feeling well, the wife of the Busan girl immediately ran out to check if the head of the house was sick.
A pair of snow-white hands rubbed around Ai Husheng's temples: "Master! The governor of Henan has just sent this year's Bing Jing and sent ......! β
"Go back! Hurry up and return it to Lao Tzu! Ai Husheng, who was comfortable with his eyes closed, jumped up like touching the electric door, staring at him as if he was going to eat someone.
