"With the credibility of Fang Xiang, he said that he would use the silver of the Prime Minister's Mansion as a guarantee for the Royal Bank, and he will definitely guarantee it!"

"Even if the Royal Bank can't turn around in the future, it will first fill the vacancy with Fang Xiang's silver."

"It's just...... More than 300,000 taels of silver, it is inevitable that it is a little less, if there is really a change, such a little silver is just a drop in the bucket, and it will not play a role. ”

Everyone looked at the white silver in front of them, and then at the solemn face, with a look of hesitation on their faces.

When the empress in a dragon robe saw this scene, she gave Lin Wan'er a look.

Lin Wan'er immediately understood and turned to leave.

A moment later.

Carriages carrying all kinds of treasures came to the door of the Royal Bank.

"I have a total of more than 5 million taels of silver, and these silver will also be deposited in the Royal Bank!"

"In addition, from now on, all the expenses of the internal treasury will be in the accounts of the Royal Bank!"

Wu Mingkong looked around, his cold face was expressionless, and he said in a calm tone.

The voice fell.

Baiguan's eyes lit up.

Although the money spent on the treasury was very large, it could not be kept in the Royal Bank for long.

But His Majesty is also showing his attitude by doing so.

His Majesty and Fang Xiang, two of the most powerful people in Daqian, deposited their gold and silver treasures in the Royal Bank.

And what do they have to worry about?

That's it.

Some of the officials finally made up their minds to deposit the silver in the royal bank when they returned home!

But.

There are still a considerable number of officials who still have a wait-and-see attitude and hesitate.

In their eyes.

The silver is solid when it is held in one's own hands.

They were not merchants, they did not have to trade frequently, and there were plenty of places in the house to store gold and silver treasures.

In that case, why do you have to put it in the Royal Bank?

For this case.

Fang Xiu had expected it.

It's human nature to be wary of new things.

When the banks became widespread, this group of people would naturally deposit their silver in it.

The meal must be eaten one bite at a time, and the road must be walked step by step, and there is no urgency......

Fang Xiu thought so, looked at the hundred officials, and said:

"In addition to depositing the silver in the bank today, there is one more thing I want to tell you......

Speaking of which, it came to an abrupt end.

Seeing this, everyone cheered up and looked at Fang Xiu with a serious expression.

Fang Xiu continued:

"From now on, I will officially use paper money!"

"Your monthly money will also be changed from the original silver to paper money!"

"Banknotes are exactly the same as gold, silver and bronze coins, and they can be exchanged for each other at the Royal Bank."

"In addition, all merchants are not allowed to refuse to accept banknotes, and violators will be disqualified!"

The voice fell.

All the officials were shocked.

Since the registration of merchants with the Tax Institute, business qualifications have become the lifeblood of merchants.

Canceling the business qualification, for the merchants, is not much different from cutting off their heads.

"Fang Xiang's move is ruthless enough!"

"If it can be implemented, it will not be long before paper money can be widely popularized, and it may not be impossible to replace gold, silver and copper coins in the future."

Thinking so, Baiguan couldn't help but feel a little more awe in his eyes when he looked at Fang Xiu, and said in his heart: It has to be Fang Xiang! If you don't make a hit, it's a blockbuster!

The tax office, the Royal Bank, paper money, savings, loans, it seems that there is no connection.

In fact, without any kind of business, the rest of the business cannot be carried out.

It seems that Fang Xiang's creation of the Tax Institute and the Royal Bank is the result of a long period of thought, not as previously thought, but just a whim.

With that in mind.

Another group of people wavered and began to consider whether to deposit their money in the Royal Bank.

What should be said, Fang Xiu has already said, what should be done, everything has been done.

Whether to deposit the silver in the bank or not, the hundred officials decided for themselves, and Fang Xiu was not forced.

Time passed, and the morning glow faded.

Fang Xiu exchanged a few words with the hundred officials, and then asked them to return to their respective yamen and continue to do things.

The hundred officials saluted and turned to leave.

After a few moments, the royal bank's yamen fell silent.

Fang Xiu looked at Daji and ordered: "There should be a lot of people coming to deposit silver in the past few days, you count a number, and then estimate how much silver the Royal Bank can deposit in a year, and tell the true picture." ”

Daji showed a solemn expression, nodded heavily, and responded: "The slave family understands. ”

Hearing this self-proclaimed, Fang Xiu chuckled.

"You are now the president of the Royal Bank, you are the second grade, you are the prince, and in front of the Prime Minister, you should call yourself a lower official."

Daji's delicate little face showed a touch of blush, nodded lightly, and said coquettishly: "Xiaguan understands." ”

After speaking, her red lips opened lightly, and she wanted to say something, but when she saw the little empress standing on the side, she held back again.

When Wu Mingkong saw this scene, he felt a little uncomfortable inexplicably.

Although Daji didn't say anything or do anything, when those eyes looked at Fang Xiu, there was always an indescribable meaning that could not be described in words.

[Mood +2000]

An icy system prompt sounds.

Fang Xiu's face showed a blank look, he looked at Wu Mingkong, and said in his heart, you didn't do anything, what are you angry about, could it be that something is coming.

Wu Mingkong saw him looking at him, his heart was even more annoyed, he walked up to him, stretched out his hand and pinched him, lowered his voice, and said angrily: "Look at what." ”

Fang Xiu: "......"

Side.

Seeing that the two were so intimate, Daji smiled on her charming face and saluted: "Your Majesty, the minister still has something to do, so retire first." ”

"Hmm."

Wu Mingkong nodded lightly and didn't say anything.

Daji saluted again and turned to leave.

Wu Mingkong looked at Fang Xiu, was silent for a few breaths, and asked, "Has Li Yingyue been making trouble to return to Zhou Country these days?" ”

Although I don't know why she suddenly mentioned Li Yingyue.

Fang Xiu still replied truthfully: "She told the minister, but the minister didn't agree, but just asked her to write a few letters and send them back to the Zhou Kingdom. ”

Wu Mingkong thought for a while, and then asked, "Then have you thought about it?" After Daji became president, who will take over Jumbo Zhai? ”

Fang Xiu was slightly stunned, and suddenly understood that the little empress originally planned to let her take over Zhenbao Zhai.

"I haven't thought about it yet, but it can't be her."

Needless to say, the little empress knew who she was referring to.

"Why?"

The little empress asked curiously.

Before Fang Xiu could answer, she said to herself: "She has a talent for business, and she has lost the memory of the past few years, it is completely feasible to let her take care of Zhenbao Zhai, if you are worried about what means she will use, send a few shadow guards to keep an eye on her, wouldn't it be good?" ”

Fang Xiudao:

"Jumbo Zhai is on the right track, as long as the new shopkeeper does not make a big mistake, there will be no problem, and there is no need to have someone with business talent to take over."

"Even though Li Inviteyue has lost her memory, she is still the original character, she is arrogant, and she will not bow her head easily, she now knows that she is a bird in a cage, let her be the treasurer of Zhenbao Zhai, there may be changes, the minister would rather choose a mediocre person than choose him."

When Wu Mingkong heard this, a smile appeared between his eyebrows, and he didn't say anything more.

Meanwhile.

Xiangguo's house.

Li Yinyue, who was making pastries, sneezed inexplicably.

Seeing this, Tao'er on the side hurriedly took out a shawl, put it on her body, and said, "Madam, it's been cold a little bit these days, you pay attention to keep warm, don't get caught by the wind cold again." ”

Li Invitationyue stretched out her slender jade hand, tightened her shawl, looked at Tao'er with a pair of phoenix eyes, and asked curiously, "I have ever been infected with wind cold?" ”

Momo nodded, mumbling.

"Madame was very sick at that time, and she was hot all over her body in the cold winter, and even the imperial doctor couldn't do anything."

Tao'er recalled the wind and cold before Li Yingyue, and looked like she had more than one season.

Seeing this, Li Yingyue was a little curious, and asked, "Even the imperial doctor can't do it, how is it good in the end?" ”

Tao'er said: "Of course it was cured by the master!" ”

Li Yingyue was stunned: "He can also heal?" ”

Tao'er shook her head lightly and replied, "No." ”

"And how will he heal me?"

Li Yingyue's eyes showed curiosity.

Tao'er said: "The old man treasured a few elixirs, and when he saw that his wife was seriously ill, he took out a few, fed his wife to take them, and took care of them in front of his wife's sickbed for two days and nights, and his wife recovered." ”

Take care of two days and nights in front of the bed......

This is something that Fang Xiu can do?

Li Yingyue's good-looking phoenix eyes showed a hint of disbelief, and she looked at Tao'er.

"Although I don't get along with Fang Xiu much, I also know how he treats me, so I don't have to make up such things......"

Tao'er was stunned for a moment, and then her delicate little face showed a depressed look, and said: "What the slave said is true!" If the lady doesn't believe it, you can ask the people in the house! ”

Li Yueyue saw Tao'er's sworn appearance, was silent for a while, and said: "There is such a panacea in the world, which can make a terminally ill person heal in two days?" ”

Tao'er nodded heavily: "That's how there is such a medicine!" There are not a few in the whole world, and the old man is reluctant to eat when he is sick! ”

Li Yingyue looked at Tao'er, trying to see something in her eyes, but in the end she found nothing.

"Could it be...... What she said was true? ”

"Fang Xiu did do such a thing for me before?"

Li Yingyue's willow eyebrows furrowed slightly, her eyes showed a complicated color, and her heart was mixed.

There was a moment of silence.

She shook her head, trying not to think about it.

No matter how Fang Xiu treated her, her goal would never change.

Leave Xiangguo Mansion as soon as possible, return to Da Zhou, and worship your father and mother!

"It's been three days, and those letters should have been delivered to Jinnan Mansion."

"I don't know how the royal brother felt when he saw my letter......

As soon as she thought of this, Li Yinyue's eyes couldn't help but look in the direction of Jinnan Mansion, and sighed leisurely in her heart.

The distant kingdom of Zhou.

Jinnan Province.

Palace.

Emperor Zhou sat on the dragon chair, his face gloomy to the extreme.

"Bai Qi's vanguard is only a few hundred miles away from Jinnan Mansion!"

"Tell me what to do!"

Below.

The civil and military officials were lined up on both sides, like a lost dog, with their heads bowed and not saying a word.

"On weekdays, everyone can speak well, why is it that when it comes to a critical moment, they are all dumb!"

Emperor Zhou patted the armrest of the dragon chair, blushed, and shouted angrily.

When the civil and military officials heard this, they buried their heads lower and did not dare to speak.

After the fall of Jing'an City.

Bai Qi is like a sharp sword, leading the army and driving straight in.

He does not siege cities, nor does he love war, but uses various tactics to destroy as many enemies as he can.

This is the first time they have encountered such a style of play.

I really can't think of a suitable response in a short period of time.

It is nothing more than a strong wall to clear the wilderness, stick to the city, find a suitable time, and counterattack.

You don't have to think about it to know that this is definitely not what His Majesty wants!

There was silence in the hall.

I don't know how long it took

Finally, someone stood up and saluted: "The minister thinks that the power of the artillery is huge, and the musketeers of the dry people are well-trained, and they only rely on the soldiers of the guard, I am afraid that it will be difficult to resist, and we still have to send the tiger army to meet the enemy!" ”

The voice fell.

Everyone said in unison: "The ministers seconded the proposal!" ”

Emperor Zhou looked around, his anger was still gone, and he said angrily: "If the Tiger Ben Army can't stop it, what then!" ”

When they heard this, they looked at each other, and for a moment they did not know what to say.

Seeing this, Emperor Zhou slapped the table, stood up, and said angrily: "Some of you were able to fight well and win a hundred battles in the past, but now how has it become like this!" Without the Tiger Army, there would be no war?! ”

When the civil and military officials heard this, they all sighed in their hearts.

What does Your Majesty think.

They know it in their hearts.

The Tiger Army is the private soldier of the royal family and is absolutely loyal to His Majesty.

They are His Majesty's hole cards, but they are not the hole cards of the imperial court!

If they want to go head-to-head with the white army, even if they win, they will suffer heavy losses.

Without the Tiger Army, His Majesty would have lost control of the imperial court, and would have the dignity of an emperor but no corresponding authority.

This is unacceptable to His Majesty.

The question is.

So far, in addition to dispatching the Tiger Army, he has fought to the death with Bai Qi.

They really can't think of any other way to solve the current situation.

Calling on the kings of the guards everywhere can indeed gather a large number of troops, but the problem is that these people are all rabble, and they can't stop the menacing Bai Qi at all.

There was a long silence.

In the end, it was Wei Dongzheng who stood up.

He raised his eyes to look at Emperor Zhou, and said in a firm tone:

"Your Majesty, the imperial court has reached the moment of life and death!"

"If you don't send out the Tiger Army! The capital may fall! ”

"Please also ask Your Majesty to issue an order to let the Tiger Ben Army go out of the city to stop Bai Qi!"

Implication.

Now, don't worry so much.

When Emperor Zhou heard this, he took a deep breath and calmed down.

He also knew in his heart that up to now, there was no other way than the Tiger Army.

It's just that I still have a little luck in my heart, and I hope that the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty can come up with a better way.

There was a long silence.

He finally nodded and agreed to Baiguan's request.

Seeing this, Wei Dongzheng breathed a sigh of relief and put forward a few more opinions.

The first is to mobilize the prefectures and cities in various places to donate grain, grass and money.

The second is to recruit a large number of soldiers, and the rise and fall of the country is the responsibility of the husband, even if he is not trained and goes to the battlefield, he can always play a role.

Even if it's a pig, if you stop in front of Bai Qi, you can stop it for a while.

Finally, a large number of catapults were built in advance to deal with the artillery of the dry people.

Wei Dongzheng was not good at leading troops to fight, and his suggestions were all decent.

Soon.

Wu Xun followed closely and put forward more perfect suggestions.

As long as His Majesty agrees to dispatch the Tiger Army, the imperial court will still have the ability to fight Bai Qi!

Naturally, they are also going all out, thinking about how to repel the enemy.

Minutes and seconds passed.

The court meeting finally ended.

Emperor Zhou dragged his tired body back to the Qianqing Palace, and as soon as he sat down, he heard the eunuch on the side say:

"Your Majesty, the eldest princess has a letter ......"
