Tired of the inspection, the sixth child rested in the renovated water pavilion by the lake.

The water pavilion is built across the water, half-immersed in the water, the lotus pond on three sides, the willow waves on all sides, the small bridge flowing water, the lotus flower is fragrant, people sit in the middle, such as in the painting.

The window sash on three sides is open, and the cool breeze suddenly blows, and the heat disappears. Drinking herbal tea and eating chilled melons and fruits, the midsummer in the south of the Yangtze River is only beautiful.

"Where did you say before?" The king of Chu asked Li Heng, Gu Yuanchen and others.

"Back to Your Highness, when it comes to the run, the turmoil should have subsided." Li Heng hurriedly replied.

"It's a temporary subsidence." Zhu Zhen emphasized: "The people trust us and are willing to give us a year. But if we can't get it done in a year, our credit will be over. ”

"Yes." Everyone nodded in agreement: "This year, the burden is still very heavy. ”

"First of all, the ban on the circulation of gold and silver, can this be lifted?" Li Heng asked.

"Don't worry about that." Zhu Zhen said lightly: "I said that gold and silver are naturally currency, and it is impossible for ordinary people to disown gold and silver at any time." The ban of the imperial court in recent years has long been in vain. ”

"Yes. Money, food stamps, and silver are in front of you, and everyone will choose the latter. Shen Rong and the others couldn't help laughing, there is still their credit here. Every year, a large amount of silver poured into the country through overseas trade, and naturally entered circulation, and I have never heard of anyone who refused to accept it, wishing that they would pay in gold and silver.

"So, the so-called ban is just a piece of paper, why keep it if you don't abolish it?" His Royal Highness the King of Chu said domineeringly: "You don't have to worry about this matter, this king will take care of it." ”

After a pause, he said: "In addition, I would like to take this opportunity to simply separate the invoice business from the Weaving and Dyeing Bureau." ”

"Oh?" Everyone hurriedly listened to it. "Is Your Highness going to split the Weaving and Dyeing Bureau?"

"The weaving and dyeing bureau does not move, only transfers the business." Lao Liu explained: "It's very simple, we have set up another agency that is specifically responsible for invoices and acceptance, whether it is a bank or a ticket number. In short, this agency will issue another kind of ticket, which is called a silver ticket in advance. ”

"The food stamps in the hands of the people can be exchanged for silver stamps at the bank or the ticket number according to the proportion we promised." He continued: "At the same time, the Weaving and Dyeing Bureau no longer issues food stamps, so the transfer is completed. ”

"That's it." Hearing this, the big families in Jiangnan nodded, and they probably understood His Highness's intention to do this.

"There are many benefits like this," the king of Chu said: "After all, the Weaving and Dyeing Bureau is not a professional organization, and there is no semicolon, which leads to inconvenient exchange of grain stamps and poor circulation." ”

"If you set up a professional ticket number or bank, you can set up a wide range of semicolons to facilitate the exchange of people. Moreover, silver stamps are more like money than food stamps, and if we want to make silver stamps pass the world, this step of reform is indispensable. ”

"Yes, yes, yes." The big ones also nodded.

"Of course, your rights and interests have been transferred from the Weaving and Dyeing Bureau to this bank. Including the previous 20 million guan, and this time 30 million taels of silver, I will give you two choices. Zhu Zhen stretched out two fingers:

"First, as a long-term bank bond, I pay you interest on an annual basis. The other can also be converted into shares in the bank, we share risks and profits, and you can go back and think about it yourself. ”

"Of course, we have to share the risk with His Highness." The crowd said without thinking.

"Haha, think so?" The sixth can't help but laugh.

"Of course." How can a group of big dogs let go of this great opportunity, or maybe the only one, to become a future shareholder of the bank?

"Okay, this king will set aside shares for you, and the details will be discussed later." Lao Liu is also very happy, at present, his focus has shifted to Jingluo overseas, and he can't do without the full support of these big families in the south of the Yangtze River, he must tie them firmly to the chariot, and he has to weld the door shut.

After a pleasant conversation, Zhu Zhen said goodbye: "Since the matter has been solved for the time being, if there is nothing else, I will return to Beijing, and maybe I can catch up with my father's celebration banquet." ”

"Can Your Highness stay one more day?" Gu Yuanchen got up and bowed down at the signal of everyone: "Tomorrow is the day when our first porcelain kiln will be opened......

"Oh? Is it finally officially put into production? The sixth child was overjoyed when he heard this: "That king must join in the fun." ”

"Great, Cheng Huishou and they are all looking forward to His Highness being able to open the kiln with his own hands." Gu Yuanchen and others were overjoyed.

Suzhou from Jingdezhen as a whole to introduce the porcelain industry, the significance is very significant, the difficulties are much greater than expected, they do not know how much effort to pay, to finally overcome the difficulties, to the day of victory. Of course, I hope that His Highness will witness their success.

~~

On the way out of the palace, Zhu Zhen deliberately left the team and walked around Shantang Street outside the palace.

I saw that Qili Shantang has been lined with shops, all kinds of industries are gathered, and all kinds of signboards are dizzying.

"No one expected that Shantang Street would be up so quickly, and I am afraid that in two years, I will have to catch up with Guanqian Street." Li Heng, who accompanied him, sighed with emotion: "Childe is really turning stones into gold." ”

"I don't dare to take credit, Shantang Street connects the canal to Suzhou, such a good location, it was already very prosperous, but it was temporarily silent during the war years." Zhu Zhen shook his head and smiled: "As long as you give some sunshine, it will be brilliant." ”

"It's true, in the past few years, the palace has been repaired, and three thousand craftsmen have eaten horses and chewed and bought things, and it has brought prosperity here for a while." Wang De laughed and said, "I don't know if the palace will be so prosperous after the palace is repaired?" ”

"Yes." Li Heng said with a smile: "The big family in Suzhou City, who doesn't want to be closer to His Highness?" They all bought land near this Shantang Street and prepared to build a house, enough for the shops on the street to prosper for a few more years. When His Royal Highness and the big families move here in a few years, there will be no need to worry. ”

"Aren't they afraid that this piece will not be protected by the city walls?" The sixth laughed.

More than 10 years after the founding of the People's Republic of China, Shantang Street is still sparsely populated and sparsely populated, and a very important reason is that there are frequent gangsters in the south of the Yangtze River, and no one with a family or a job wants to live outside the city.

"Of course I'm not afraid, His Highness has wiped out Japan, how can there be any Japanese in the future?" Everyone smiled and said: "Living with the protector of the people of Jiangnan, my heart is very down-to-earth." ”

"Hahaha, you guys." The sixth said deliberately: "But this king has to remind you that this time we only captured Kyushu Island, not Honshu Island, which occupies the majority. ”

"So there may be a pirate?" All the big families really looked nervous, and then laughed again: "Your Highness is teasing us, the army is triumphant, and the problem of the Japanese is definitely solved." ”

"Alas, you guys are getting harder and harder to deceive." Zhu Zhen also laughed loudly: "That's right, Japan has 'not gone to the sea', of course, if the Japanese can swim over, it will be another matter!" ”

"Hahaha!" The laughter of the crowd resounded through Shantang Street.
