Xiao Ming also participated in the main work of the cabinet, and the official documents issued by Zhongshu Menxia Province on behalf of the imperial court were issued by the flying kite, and now the flying kite has gradually replaced the post station and fast foot delivery due to the reliable structure and safety and accuracy.

The official document is administratively binding on all government officials, but it does not play a role in workshops and factories, and a lot of work still needs to be done by local government officials.

Richanglong's current industry covers textiles, steel, machine manufacturing, shipbuilding, ceramics, finance and other fields, because there are many fields in which Richanglong is also a major participant, so this area can also be greatly expanded, such as the chemical industry, food processing industry and agriculture that have been basically formed.

Richanglong's original focus on agriculture was only on cotton and mulberry hemp, but with the continuous expansion of overseas trade in the Great Song Dynasty, many high-yield agricultural projects directly introduced from overseas also made Richanglong see profits, because Richanglong now occupies a very large land area in the country, in addition to promoting the planting of crops, some things that should not be there at this stage have gradually increased, including farms!

The farm can be said to be a personal invention of Ri Chang Long, this way of managing a business as the main one, employing a large number of farmers to carry out agricultural planting, has also greatly increased the efficiency of agricultural production, often a few thousand people control several hectares of land, and all of this is cash crops.

Land is the main interest and contradiction between the Chinese at all times, which is also the root of Xiao Ming's desire to carry out the large-scale resettlement plan, and the large-scale land annexation activities carried out by Richanglong throughout the country have itself created many contradictions for the local people, but in the contest between the local government and the landlords, Richanglong can often rely on the natural strong financial resources and background to gain the first opportunity.

But this contradiction still exists, in order to successfully carry out the immigration work, it is necessary to eliminate this contradiction in a corresponding way, and the process of immigration must not be too anxious, otherwise it is easy to cause a civil uprising, so Xiao Ming may be the most troublesome thing about this matter.

From the imperial court to the local government, it is necessary not only to implement the large-scale resettlement plan, but also to implement support for the Western Regions and other places, and also to prepare for Han Shizhong's military supplies to enter Dali, and all affairs must be organized and planned.

In fact, this is the effect of having money and doing things, the Great Song Dynasty is really rich at present, not only the issuance of bonds is very smooth, the progress of various projects is not delayed, and the gold and silver reserves in the bank and the money on the account are also as much as a cow's hair, and the printing of paper money often depends on the proportion of gold reserves in the bank to issue, but now this proportion is almost flat.

The reason is actually very simple, when the first Royal Bank of the Great Song Dynasty was built, the share capital of Richanglong was gold, and later he prepared to build his own Richang Longsheng Bank, and the gold was even more, coupled with the looting of Xiao Ming's previous wars, and the gold in the Nanyang region was continuously transported to the Great Song Dynasty, and the amount of gold was close to astronomical.

Within the scope of the proportion, in order to pay a large amount of money and labor and meet the needs of the market, Xiao Ming ordered Ai Qili to increase the number of paper banknotes printed and the number of gold coins minted, and this is a small matter for Ai Qili, he is now the CEO of the First Bank of the Great Song Dynasty and Richang Longsheng Bank, Xiao Ming gave him an official position as a member of the household department!

It can be said that the bank is basically a profiteering industry from lending, plus the bank has supported several large-scale farmland and water conservancy construction loans of the imperial court, and directly obtained repayment interest from the Great Song Dynasty taxes, which can be described as a rolling source of wealth.

Since the First Bank of the Great Song Dynasty is a semi-private national bank, it is equivalent to having the power to supervise the country's finance, and many applications for the establishment of private banks will be submitted to Ai Qili, and he can easily add the share capital of Richang Longsheng Bank to it through his rights, which is a very profitable way.

Although Xiao Ming has tried his best to assign all levels of accounting and accounting to him, but because the current financial and bookkeeping methods are still too primitive, there is still a shortage of manpower in this area.

Xiao Ming sometimes went to the bank to see, he would go to the lobby of the accounting center, and before he entered the door, he could hear the "crackling...... above the lobby! There was a basketball court-sized place above the lobby that was surrounded by a table in a circle, and the back was full of people who checked the accounts, and each person had an abacus in front of him.

The abacus was also called "abacus" in the Song Dynasty! "During this period, abacus has been widely used, but even in a large range is not as large as the bank accounting lobby, dozens of people sitting in this circle are all using abacus to calculate personnel, old and young, and even two people or many people use a big abacus!

The open space in the middle is also full of people, sitting at the table with notes, reporting numbers, serving tea and water, and standing behind the calculator to record the personnel also need to sing the numbers constantly, so that the final recording of the personnel record, the ink of the brush is not as polished!

Xiao Ming looked at it, in fact, the most delaying efficiency is actually the brush record, because at that time, the Chinese record numbers were still limited to Chinese characters, for example, to record numbers such as "125" on paper, you need to neatly write Chinese characters such as "壹佰贰拾五", which is indeed a little inconvenient.

Xiao Mingsi thought about it for a long time before he found Ai Qili and handed him a small bottle of blue-black liquid and a very strange pen, which was a kind of ink trial-made by Ding Jianpeng using chemical methods and ink, and that pen was a fountain pen with a siphon design!

Of course, Ai Qili was very puzzled, and when Xiao Ming explained it to him, Ai Qili shook his head and said: "Although this thing is good, it is only limited to me to use, and those old account rooms who do accounting are afraid that they are not good at using it!" ”

Xiao Ming nodded: "You can use it, if you can promote it slowly, I called you here today to give you a lesson?" ”

"Class?" Akiri was puzzled.

Xiao Ming said: "I have limited time, so I can only teach you first, and then you can choose which person with a flexible mind to teach!" ”

What does Xiao Ming want to teach Ai Qili? To put it bluntly, it is Arabic numerals and simple four arithmetic methods, in fact, Arabic numerals are transmitted from India, and this whole set of mathematical recording methods and calculation methods has the efforts of many Indian and Arab intellectuals.

Ai Qili himself has always had a kind of reverence for Xiao Ming, because he looks younger than himself, but the things in his stomach are full of tricks and endlessly, and a lot of his vague financial knowledge is given to him by Xiao Ming, and the courage and techniques are the best way, which makes him feel very confused.

Although he himself is a Jew and has learned the expressions of the Greek and Roman alphabets, he was born in China after all, and he grew up in Chinese characters, so he didn't understand this thing very well for a while.

But the further back he went, the more surprised he became, after all, he had a background in Greek and Roman, and he understood this Western-colored way of expressing numbers faster, and he was already amazed by the subtlety and simplicity of it, and finally Aiqili turned around and admired what Xiao Ming had taught him.

"Master Hou's great wisdom! Now I know that the smartest people in the world should be you Chinese! ”

Xiao Ming was a little ashamed, he had plagiarized other people's things more than once, he was so praised by Ai Qili, he was really embarrassed, he helped Ai Qili and said: "This is not my invention, I also met the wisdom of my predecessors!" If you've mastered it, it can come in handy! ”

"Yes! Follow the teachings of the Hou Ye! Akiri said respectfully.

In order to make it easier for Ai Qili to understand and teach in the future, Xiao Ming made a table of the addition formulas and multiplication formulas from one to nine, and also taught Ai Qili, he hoped that Ai Qili could organize these things into a book, which could also be used as a reference in the popularization of education in the future, in fact, Ai Qili did not disappoint him.

Ai Qili not only recorded and compiled this basic method of mathematics into a book, but also established a high reputation in the future promotion, so that later this set of things was respectfully called: "Ei's arithmetic!" "He's become a famous magician! , of course, Xiao Ming would not have thought that there would be such a result.

After this matter was done, Ai Qili still didn't leave, he said to Xiao Ming with a bitter face: "There is one more thing, I need Master Hou to think of a way for me"

"Oh? What is it that makes you so difficult? Xiao Ming asked.

Originally, Ai Qi had the official position of the household department, although it was only nominal, but the First Bank of the Great Song Dynasty also had the share capital of the household department, so during this time, the household department ordered the first bank to increase the printing of paper money, and now it has exceeded the proportion of gold reserves by a lot! And these gold reserves are only the reserves of the First Bank of the Great Song Dynasty.

At present, there are only two banks with the right to issue banknotes, the First Bank of the Great Song Dynasty and the Richang Longsheng Bank, but if the First Bank obeys the orders of the Ministry of Accounts, in the absence of accounting supervision, the consequences of issuing a large number of banknotes Ai Qili is very clear, so he wants Xiao Ming to think of a way for him.
