The yamen of the Minghuang Bank is still just an empty shell, and he is the only commander of the light pole, and the most important thing now is to recruit people quickly.

Of course, there is also the construction of the office, which happens to be the southernmost part of the sixth department, and there is a vacant land next to it.

There is also Minghuang Bank, which can only be handed over to Shen Jing first, and it is impossible for him to keep an eye on it every day.

For a while, Li Wei only felt that there was a shortage of manpower.

Relative to more and more affairs, he has less and less people to use, especially those who can be trusted by him.

Thinking of those students in the academy, Li Wei couldn't help but sigh, these children will grow up, not to mention three or five years.

As for going to school for more than ten years and then graduating like in later generations, it is impossible, he can't wait, and it is impossible to allow these children to play games leisurely and fall in love, enjoy the school time, three years later, he will stay if he works hard, and if he doesn't work hard, he can only be eliminated and go home to inherit his father's business.

In fact, these children are still studying very hard, they are from poor backgrounds, Li Wei gave them opportunities, of course they will actively seize it!

But even so, these people can't help him for a while.

Li Wei frowned and pondered for a long time, thinking about it, the people he could find now were Wu Bozong and others from the original cabinet.

These people are still very good, and after being transferred out of the cabinet, they returned to the Hanlin Academy, and now is the time to be idle, just in time to pull him over to work.

Hanlin Yuan is also very close, just east of the Sixth Division, Li Wei walked in the imperial city, feeling that it was like an industrial park of a large enterprise, and all departments were crowded together, which was very convenient.

When he came to the Hanlin Academy, Li Wei inquired and found Wu Bozong, who was sorting out the classics.

"Old Wu!"

"Master Li, why are you here?"

Wu Bozong put down the book and asked in surprise.

Now Li Wei is a busy man, and his power is also high, unlike them who are idlers in the Hanlin Academy.

"I'm looking for you for something, how is it, have you been busy lately?"

Li Wei and he are also old acquaintances, and they are relatively close to each other.

Wu Bozong smiled and said, "It's okay, it's definitely not as busy as Lord Li." ”

"That's right, I got a new Minghuang Bank, you know? It's the one who specializes in treasure money, come and help me. ”

Li Wei was not polite and said directly.

Now although the Minghuang Bank is an empty shell, in addition to him, the chief official from the third grade, there is also a vacant position of a fourth-grade adjutant and two fifth-grade auxiliary officials, no matter which grade is much higher than Wu Bozong's current seventh-grade Hanlin review.

However, Wu Bozong frowned slightly when he heard this, put down the book in his hand, took out an edict from his arms and handed it to Li Wei.

"Look."

Li Wei took it in surprise, opened it and looked at it, and suddenly exclaimed in surprise: "Such a coincidence? ”

Wu Bozong nodded slightly: "Yes, today Your Majesty just issued an edict to transfer me to the Ministry of Officials." ”

Li Wei glanced at it twice, and then laughed softly: "Okay, then I'll ask someone else." ”

The official department is the fifth grade, and the official department is the head of the six departments, and when he enters there, the future is much stronger than that of his newly established yamen, so he did not force it.

"I'm sorry, Master Li." Wu Bozong was embarrassed.

At the beginning, he asked Li Wei to help save Daotong, causing Li Wei to be demoted to the Department of Teaching for half a year, although now that the matter has passed, Li Wei has also been reinstated, but he has written down this feeling.

Now Li Wei finally took the initiative to ask him for help, but he couldn't help, which made him feel very guilty.

"It's okay, you do a good job, I will become a secretary in the future, and I have to ask you for help."

Li Wei comforted with a relaxed face.

Wu Bozong also chuckled and said: "Lord Li's words are serious, if Lord Li has something useful, just open his mouth, as long as it is not something that violates the principle, Wu will definitely do his best." ”

"yes, okay." Li Wei bowed his head, and then asked, "What about Wu Shen and them?" ”

"Oh, Wu Shen and Huang Zai have been transferred to the Criminal Department and the Military Department one after another, and several colleagues in the original cabinet are now only Wang Jie is still in the Hanlin Academy."

Wu Bozong told these people who came out of the cabinet again, in fact, Wu Shen and Huang Zai were transferred earlier, but Li Wei didn't pay attention to it until he needed someone else to inquire.

In fact, it is normal to transfer them away, after all, several of them are quite capable, and Zhu Yuanzhang naturally can't let them go all the time.

Li Wei sighed with some disappointment: "Okay, then I'll go find Wang Jie." ”

After speaking, Li Wei turned around and was about to leave, walked a few steps, paused again, and turned back and said, "Find a time for everyone to get together, I'll have a treat!" ”

Although he doesn't like to socialize, he must have to do things, just like now, he doesn't even know that these people have been transferred.

Wu Bozong was slightly surprised, this Lord Li is notoriously unsociable, how could he suddenly change his sex today.

"Okay, I'll tell them."

Wu Bozong promised that Li Wei would rarely invite a guest, and of course he would not refuse.

Li Wei nodded, and then turned to leave.

After Li Wei found Wang Jie, he said a few polite words, directly explained the original situation, and promised him the deputy position of Sipin.

When Wang Jie heard this, he was immediately overjoyed, although Li Wei is just a newly established yamen, but the official rank is real, he is now a Hanlin review, and he has been promoted to the fourth grade, which is almost a step to the sky.

"Thank you, Lord Li, for your support!" Wang Jie said gratefully.

"You're welcome, we're all colleagues."

Li Wei chuckled lightly twice, and said indifferently: "Since you have no opinion, then after I play with His Majesty's permission, you can come and help me!" ”

"Lord Li, rest assured, the lower officials will do their best to serve the adults." Wang Jie arched his hand.

Li Wei nodded slightly, and then felt that something seemed wrong, and corrected in a deep voice: "It's for Your Majesty." ”

"Yes, yes, my lord is right, it's the lower official who lost his words!"

Wang Jie's face changed slightly, and he quickly admitted his mistake.

"Well, then I'll go first, and you can prepare for the next two days."

Li Wei was satisfied.

"Okay, Xiaguan sends off Master Li."

Li Wei frowned slightly, he was a little unaccustomed to it for a while, and suddenly felt that this Wang Jie had suddenly become a little strange, he didn't have the respectful look he has now when he was in the cabinet.

But he also knows that this is the reality, when you have mastered other people's careers and even life and death, it is impossible for others to get along with you with a normal heart, and people like Han Yike and Daotong who can be neither humble nor arrogant to anyone are a minority after all.

Li Wei waved his hand and turned to leave.

Wang Jie stood with his hands closed, looking at Li Wei's departing back, his face was full of joy.

Previously, because of Li Wei, several of them were all removed from their positions as cabinet scholars, to be honest, except for Wu Bozong, several of them still had some complaints in their hearts. However, because Li Wei's actions occupy the righteousness, even if they have grievances, they will not show it.

But now it's different, Li Wei turned around gorgeously, decided to write a word, and now promoted him, a former colleague, he naturally won't complain anymore, only from the bottom of his heart.

The sentence he just said to Li Wei is not a gaffe, he has been an official for many years, and he will not make such a low-level mistake, to put it bluntly, this is to show loyalty through gaffes, no matter whether Li Wei understands it or not, he will subconsciously value him more in the future.

Li Wei left the Hanlin Academy, and the worries in his heart have not diminished much, although there is a Wang Jie now, but it is far from enough, if he really can't find someone, then he can only ask for someone from the ministry, and it is difficult to say what Ruan Jian of the ministry will stuff for him.

Walking on the road, Li Wei was thinking about things while observing the shops on the side of the road.

Banks have been issuing new banknotes for some time, and a large number of treasure banknotes have begun to pour into the banks, and the people are reluctant to spend the new banknotes, which has now had an impact on the market.

In the past, the merchants who were extremely disgusted with the treasure banknotes have changed their attitudes, and they have given priority to collecting the treasure banknotes, even if the old banknotes are faint, because now the banks are permanent, although they need to queue up, and they have to get the new banknotes the next day, but as long as they are patient, they will make a lot of money when they change the old banknotes to new ones.

Although with Li Wei's propaganda and the imperial court's edict statement, the people are no longer afraid of getting stolen new banknotes, but there are still a few who are really willing to spend it.

The texture of the new treasure banknote is excellent, it is a good thing at first glance, and the image of the emperor is even more sought after.

Due to the small number of new banknotes at this stage, the price of new banknotes was extremely high for a while, and even because the banks did not provide gold and silver exchange for the time being, some people privately bought the new banknotes in the hands of the people with gold and silver, forming a phenomenon of expensive banknotes and cheap money.

Now the price of the new banknotes has reached the level of gold, and the new banknotes have always been exchanged for one tael of gold, even according to the official price, it is equivalent to four taels of silver.

The price of new banknotes has risen, and even the old banknotes that can be exchanged for new banknotes have also risen, and now it has exceeded the 600 wen before the price drop, and has directly come to the official level of about 1,000 wen, and even some merchants have given slightly higher prices.

In fact, the sharp rise and fall of the currency is not a good thing, but he has no other good way for a while, and this situation is unavoidable in the early stage of the issuance of new banknotes.

And now there is a good opportunity to make money in front of him, that is, to secretly buy gold and silver.

Although the price of treasure banknotes is high now, but with more and more in the future, it will definitely return to its original state, and even after one or two hundred years, treasure banknotes may still depreciate into worthless waste paper, and it is impossible to maintain value like gold and silver.

Gold and silver, these really valuable things, most of them are stored in the homes of rich businessmen and gentry, and there are very few in the hands of ordinary people.

"Hey, it's too dark, it's too dark!"

Li Wei shook his head and scolded himself.

Then he sped up and went to the Chamber of Commerce to arrange this matter for Laifu.

Cutting the people is a last resort, and he still feels a little guilty in his heart, but cutting these rich gentry, there are only two words: happy! (End of chapter)
