It's another year without money. The predictable fiscal shortfall, almost a considerable number of years of total tax revenue, is not so easy to solve. Zhang Han thought about it and held a few more meetings, but no one thought of any good way to ensure that the balance of income and expenditure was maintained. As for the matter of changing the order, Zhang Han didn't agree with it, and he didn't want to do it, and others tried it twice, and no one mentioned it again. Fortunately, the time is still early, and this is not a hurry, so Zhang Han put this matter aside for the time being, but in his spare time, he will always take it out from time to time to meditate and move his mind.

Time passed, and in a blink of an eye, it was September of the fourth year of the first peace, and Xindu New City was about to be completed. On this day, the autumn weather is high and crisp, and there are white clouds floating in the blue sky, with various postures and shapes. Some were churning, like the silver waves of the sea; Some of them are stacked on top of each other, like quiet and distant mountains. A gust of wind blew, and the flocks of white sheep turned into smoke.

The new city has been roughly completed, the walls are strict, standing majestically on the shore of Hengshui Lake, a large area of reeds has been spreading to the city not far away, withered yellow mixed with a few pieces of turquoise, the lake water under the background of the slanting sun is sparkling, shaking people can't open their eyes, a small bird lightly skimmed the lake, and then flew into the blue sky, slowly disappeared, leaving a cheerful and crisp birdsong echoing in the ears.

There was still some distance from the new town, and the carriage stopped. Zhang Han didn't get out of the car immediately, he sat quietly for two minutes, admiring the beautiful scenery. Zhang Shen was not in such a good mood, Xu was sitting with his father, which made him a little restrained. Two minutes was a long time, and he twisted his body slightly, trying to make himself more comfortable.

Zhang Han was surprised, slightly apologetic, smiled gently, moved his body, and opened the car door. Today, Zhang Han is dressed very simply. Dressed in a green shirt, he used a wooden hairpin on his head at will, and his whole body was simple, only the jade pendant on his waist seemed to be worth a few dollars. In short, Zhang Han's dress looks like a wealthy scholar.

Tightly clasped Zhang Shen's hand. Zhang Han pulled him over with him. Zhang Shen is nineteen years old, half a head taller than his father, he was a little embarrassed to be held by his father like this, and he struggled slightly, but he couldn't break free. I don't know what happened to my father today, Zhang Shen had no choice but to let him hold his hand.

Therefore, it was not until he approached the city gate that Zhang Shen noticed that before the city gate. There is also a magpie platform, which is two feet high. There is another wall on the platform, and the wall is two feet high. The platform wall is wide, it is up to ** zhang wide, and the city gate is completely hidden behind it, Zhang Shen was surprised and felt a little familiar, hesitated, and then remembered something, and couldn't help blurting out:

"This, this is the door guard! Father? ”

Zhang Shen's words later. But it was said to Zhang Han. Zhang Han smiled silently and nodded slightly. But there was a sigh in my heart. It's a pity, who made you my son!

"Father, I'll go see ......"

Zhang Han's thoughts, Zhang Shen didn't know, as soon as his father let go, he immediately circled around the door wall. The texture of the cement should be a reinforced concrete structure, with a base of eight feet and a top of three feet, which can be described as indestructible.

So far, there are only three cities built according to the "Records of Defending the City": Lunan City, Chengcheng and Nancheng. The three cities are all in Lu State, and Zhang Shen has already read through the "Guarding the City", but he has not seen the actual city with his own eyes. Sindu New Town is the fourth.

"Let's go! There's so much to see in the city! ”

Zhang Shen's mood of admiring the name for a long time is not something that Zhang Han can understand. Pulling his reluctant son, Zhang Han entered the city. Zhang Shen behaved very much like a countryman. Seeing the triple door, Zhang Shen exclaimed; Seeing the sheep and horse wall, Zhang Shen was happy; Seeing the three cities and two moats, the flat-headed female wall with holes and the upper and lower gatehouses, Zhang Shen hated to crawl on them...... Zhang Han felt very embarrassed, and had to show his father's majesty - knocking a bag on Zhang Shen's head to make him sober up.

Walking on the wide bluestone road, "??" The sound of footsteps followed. The sewers by the side of the road are covered with stone slabs, and if you are not careful, you will see them as part of the road, and the trees planted on both sides are still small, the sparse foliage is gorgeously golden, and a few withered trunks can be seen from time to time.

The city was empty, and after walking for a long time, I didn't see a single figure. Walking on this lonely street, Zhang Han suddenly didn't know how to speak. Over this? For a long time, he still can't handle some things well, what can he say? said that if it is a concubine, say that Zhang Shen is a concubine, and say...... Zhang Han couldn't say anything, he really didn't care about this. However, it is not so simple. The world is never fair or reasonable, but it has its own rules. Breaking the rules is doomed to pay a price. And there are some prices, even Zhang Han is not willing to pay!

The father didn't say a word, as if he had something on his mind, Zhang Shen didn't speak, inexplicably, his mood became gloomy again, the joy of seeing the new city for the first time, retreated from his heart, and in an instant, it was like mercury falling to the ground, disappearing without a trace. Zhang Shen has not been in a good mood recently, and only when he stays with Guan Xuan is he better. Zhang Shen didn't want to fight with his brother for anything, nor was he too sensitive. But once the heir is established, some people's attitudes are changeable, which is really uncomfortable. And some people's inexplicable sympathy is even more annoying. Zhang Han's promise to join the army was also a scam. Obviously, in recent years, or even for a long time, Zhang Han will not lead a large army to go on an expedition. Naturally, his plan to join the army is far away. What is my father going to say today? Zhang Shen smiled at himself, behind Zhang Handi, he smiled a little coldly, the matter has come to this, what else is there to be afraid of......

The city is not big, and the father and son have their own thoughts, and after walking thoughtfully for a while, they have come to the center of the city. The Cheqi General's Mansion is located here, and the magnificent mansion is both the General's Mansion and the inner city of the new city. In front of the General's Palace, there is a square. The square is flat and wide, about 100 steps square. There was a pool in the middle of the square, and Zhang Han saw something quite familiar, and he couldn't help but smile.

"Whoa......

Zhang Han grabbed the handle, lifted it, pressed it down, and moved it up and down twice, and the clear water flowed out of the iron pipe and into the pool. Zhang Han seemed to find it interesting, and pressed it for a while, but he didn't stop. Zhang Shen looked at his father's childlike appearance, and he didn't feel funny. This kind of well has been invented for several years, and it is not uncommon, that is, an iron pipe is driven down and goes deep into the aquifer, but the water is lifted up by atmospheric pressure, which is unexpected......

To put it bluntly, this well is the kind that was very common in the seventies and eighties in the later generations, and Zhang Han couldn't help but think of the past when he saw this. After living in the Han Kingdom for all these years, Zhang Han sometimes can't tell whether his previous life was a dream or not.

After playing for a while, Zhang Han put down the well handle and sat by the pool

, He looked up, and the guards were all in the distance, and there were only his father and son in the distance

"Shen'er, isn't it very unfair......"

“……”

Zhang Shen glanced at his father in surprise, his lips moved, he tried to hide his expression, but there was still a trace of strangeness in his eyes, he didn't say anything after all, and turned his face away - yes, this is not fair! This is certainly not fair!

"Sit!"

Zhang Han patted his side, stretched out his hand to hold his hesitant son, and Zhang Shen pushed the boat and sat next to his father. Zhang Han stared at his son's eyes, Zhang Shen lowered his head, but he was taller than Zhang Han, and Zhang Han could still see his eyes. Zhang Shen was very uncomfortable, and turned his head slightly to avoid his father's gaze.

"Son, the world has never been fair!

There are things that we can strive for and thus change it,"

Zhang Han said very slowly and heavily:

"But, son, there are some things that you can't work hard for...... Once something starts, there's no turning back......"

Turning around, Zhang Han no longer looked at Zhang Shen, a thick white cloud covered the sun, only faintly revealing a little light, and inlaid a gold edge for the white cloud.

"Son, I don't want you to kill each other. Therefore, I will not let you join the army to lead the army, nor will I let you enter politics and power. But what I give you will not be inferior to these two paths......"

――――――――――――――――――――――――――

Xiang Feng is also Bo Cao, engaged in the second position of Shaofu Peng. In the system of chariot generals, they are in charge of both public and private finances. Theoretically speaking, all financial revenues and expenditures must go through the hands of Xiang Feng. Below his father, Xiang Feng is important enough to rank in the top five. To put it mildly, Xiang Feng yawned, and Qing, Hebei, You, and the four states will catch a cold.

Not only that, Xiang Feng is also Xiang Rang's grandson. Xiang Rang has served the Zhang family for 50 years. He has formed a deep connection, and every time his father goes to Shidao, he has to visit him. Moreover, Xiang Feng has been in charge of the finances of his school for many years, and he also has a good reputation among scholars, and is very familiar with many well-known scholars......

Zhang Shen read Xiang Fengdi's information in his heart. His gaze inadvertently stayed on Xiang Feng's upper body. From Xiang Feng's resignation from Bo Cao's work and his personal departure, it can be judged that this money bank is extremely important. Zhang Shen couldn't help laughing, his father still cared about him very much. If he can't get that chair, it's not that he's not good enough, or that his father doesn't like him - thinking of this, Zhang Shen felt that more than a year of depression was swept away. Here, that's enough!

It didn't take long. Zhang Shen frowned slightly-young people are always enthusiastic, and they can't help the world and Le Shi Yanran. Where can I see the career of a businessman who is sent to and full of copper smell.

Xiang Feng gained a lot of weight, and sat there with a ** belly. One occupies the position of two. Fortunately, Xiang Feng's original eyebrows are clear, and this fat is not ugly. He squinted his eyes, as if he was not asleep, but Zhang Shen's little thought did not escape his eyes at all. In the past few days, Zhang Shen has not been enthusiastic about the affairs of Qianzhuang. Xiang Feng saw it in his eyes and was anxious in his heart. Zhang Han entrusted his son to him, which was a great trust. He couldn't afford to live up to that trust.

With a shake of the carriage, Xiang Feng naturally woke up. Walk together for a few days. The two are already somewhat familiar. As an elder, Xiang Feng was concerned about Zhang Shen's marriage. By this time, the marriage between Zhang Shen and Guan Xuan had been completely decided. The two sides have not held a wedding for a long time. Speaking of this, Zhang Shen was a little embarrassed:

"Uncle Xiang, this matter is mainly my father's opinion......"

Girls don't have to be around the age of sixteen to reach maturity. From the perspective of eugenics, Zhang Han is preparing to postpone his sex education until he is 16 years old. Regarding his son's marriage, he also has the same opinion. Guan Xuan is only fifteen years old now, and if Zhang Shen wants to get married, he will have to wait until next year at the earliest. Moreover, it will be safer for Guan Xuan to give birth at that time.

"Oh, that's it......"

No wonder Zhang Ning's marriage has been delayed until last year, Xiang Fengxin calculated that his children's marriage might be handled accordingly, Zhang Han's words are always very reasonable.

Zhang Ning married Wu Zifang's eldest son, Wu Peng. Tiger fathers have no dog sons. Wu Peng also graduated at the same time as Zhang Shen, beating him and ranking first in the current period. After graduating, Wu Peng was sent to Jizhou, and in the process of exterminating the Black Mountain Bandits, he made many military exploits, and now he is also a military marquis. In the army, Zhang Hanxiang is not light, he does not have enough military exploits, even if he commands tens of thousands of troops, his military rank is not high. In particular, after several rounds of military reorganization, a complete system has been formed in the army, and promotions have become more formalized. Wu Peng was promoted to two levels in three years, and it was impossible without real military exploits.

After a few words of gossip, Xiang Feng talked about Zhang Han's past - how to make money by studying ceramics, how to improve textile machinery to make huge profits, and how to develop overseas trade in order to achieve high profits. Xiang Feng even talked about the shocking fraud case carried out by Zhang Zhao and Xiang Feng at the beginning. Zhang Shen was dumbfounded.

Xiang Feng saw that the fire had arrived, so he made a summary:

“……

The lord often said that if you want to achieve a career, there are only two talents, one is money, and the other is talent.

Money is not everything, but no money is everything.

This money bank, you don't look at him as inconspicuous, but in fact, it is very important......"

Zhang Shen's face turned red, knowing that his thoughts were seen by Xiang Feng, and he whispered:

"Uncle Xiang......"

Xiang Feng is a clever person, and he will not embarrass Zhang Shen. He went on as if nothing had happened:

"In life, there are inevitably three disasters and five difficulties. What should I do if I encounter a difficult situation, I don't have enough money, and I need money to save the emergency?

There is no way but to go into debt!

However, debt is not easy to borrow. Whether you are familiar with it or not, it is very common to want to borrow and earn five cents a year. If you don't pay it back when it's due, you will have to raise interest rates. Some black-hearted businessmen often make profits and profits......

If you really borrow their money, and if you can't pay it off in time, the rich will become poor, and the poor will ruin their families, and even if they sell their sons and daughters, they will not be able to repay the debt......

Annexation is a great harm to the country, and usury is an important part of it......"

Xiang Feng gushed endlessly, saying that Qianzhuang was a just cause to save the country and help the people, but secretly recalled the various ideas that Zhang Han told him. The matter of money is very profitable, and it is very important. It is impossible for the bank to solve the financial crisis, but its development potential is unlimited. (To be continued)
