"I've seen adults."

After Wang Jie and the others came in, they first saluted, Li Wei nodded and motioned for everyone to sit down, and then began to report the affairs of the company.

Wang Jie sorted out his thoughts and said: "My lord, during your absence, the old banknotes in the Beijing division have been basically recycled, plus some from other places, now the head of the department has recovered a total of 38 million old banknotes, and according to your instructions, the head of the bank has printed money to buy gold and silver, so far it has cost about 3 million banknotes, and the total amount of gold and silver received is 8 million taels of silver. The banknote printing factory still has 8 million banknotes in stock. ”

Wang Jie reported on the issuance of new banknotes as a whole.

Li Wei nodded lightly and asked again, "Have all the old banknotes been destroyed?" ”

Right Counselor Feng An hurriedly said: "Your Excellency, it has been destroyed according to your orders, and there is a special person to record the documents." ”

The destruction of old banknotes must also be carried out with care, and the Imperial Historian and the eunuchs of the Inner Court will take turns to supervise them.

"What about gold and silver?"

"The gold and silver have also been re-smelted and put into the treasury according to the command of the lord."

"That's good."

After Li Wei asked Feng An, he looked at Shen Jue again, Shen Jue was temporarily in charge of withdrawing reserves from various banks and supervising them, but now Li Wei's own bank, he can't say anything about supervision, which is basically equivalent to idleness.

However, Shen Jue has no opinion on this, since he entered the division to understand Li Wei's monetary system, he simply admired the five-body investment, especially the use of new banknotes to collect gold and silver, the director of the bank only used three million banknotes to collect eight million taels of silver, according to the current 1.5:1 banknote exchange ratio, and then exchange it back, you can net more than two million yuan!

Of course, Li Wei's cashiers are not only to make money, but mainly to stabilize currency prices as an anchor.

"Well, if the price of gold and silver returns to the location specified by the imperial court, there is no need to collect it again, and it will be determined according to the situation in the future."

"Yes, we will obey your orders!"

Wang Jie and the three of them immediately said respectfully.

Then Li Wei learned about other trivial matters.

The yamen in charge of the department had been built, and the officials were all in order, and after discussing with the three of them, he went around with him, and carefully checked the accounts by the way.

He doesn't fully trust these people, and he still has to look at the accounts himself.

Wang Jie and others have been following him to respond to his inquiries at any time, Li Wei took a general look at the accounts, and compared them with what he had seen in the bank before, and found no problems, which was a little relieved.

Putting down the accounts, Li Wei specially advised: "The matter of treasure money is related to the country's social affairs, and there must be no mistakes!" ”

"Yes, don't worry, my lord, we will follow your teachings!"

Wang Jie hurriedly said respectfully.

"Hmm."

Li Wei nodded with satisfaction, and then chuckled at Wang Jie and said, "I told Master Wu before that I would invite a few people from our cabinet to gather together, you can help me ask them, if you have time after duty tomorrow, come over." ”

"Okay, I'll go and inform Lord Wu about them later." Wang Jie also smiled and replied in a relaxed tone.

Shen Jue, Feng An and the others all cast envious glances at Wang Jie.

As far as they knew, this Master Li had never invited guests, and now he called Wang Jie for the first time, which was also a rare honor in their eyes.

Li Wei glanced at them, and also felt that it seemed that it was a little inappropriate to invite Wang Jie alone, so he groaned for a while, and then said softly: "If you have time, you can come together." ”

When Shen Jue and Feng An heard this, they were immediately surprised, and immediately said respectfully: "Lord Xie, we must arrive!" ”

Li Wei looked at their surprised appearance, and couldn't help but move in his heart, since he wanted to invite, it was better to invite all the ones that should be invited, so as not to worry about who was not invited.

After arranging the affairs of the Criminal Division, Li Wei returned to the Ministry of Industry, and the first person to invite was Xue Xiang, this old man had been concerned with him about the New Year's greetings before, and he couldn't forget him this time.

Li Wei stepped into the main hall, and Xue Xiang happened to be there, so he opened his mouth to invite.

Xue Xiang was very surprised when he heard this, and teased: "Yo, when you kid still has a treat, it's rare!" Okay, the old man will definitely arrive! ”

Li Wei looked a little embarrassed, he has been in Daming for three years, and there are not a few friends and colleagues he knows, but except for Zhu Yuanzhang's banquet, he has really never eaten other people's banquets, let alone invited others, in fact, it is not that no one has invited him, but he has made excuses to refuse.

"Okay, then I'll be waiting for you."

Li Wei arched his hand.

After inviting Xue Xiang, he went to the next door to inform Ru Taisu, but Ru Taisu hesitated for a moment but refused, he didn't want people to think that he was in the same group as Li Wei.

Seeing this, Li Wei was not reluctant, and put on a look of "love doesn't come, I've saved money", turned around and left.

Ru Tai blew his beard and glared angrily, and immediately changed his mind, he must eat him hard!

In addition to these two people, Li Wei sent someone to invite some other familiar friends, such as Han Yike, Daotong, Lu Ti, etc., no matter how big or small, as long as it feels pleasing to the eye.

Those who had a good relationship with him, especially those of relatively low status, rushed to the news of the news to their relatives and friends, so that the news quickly spread among the ministers.

Of course, some people scolded him for forming a party for personal gain, extravagance, and some people scolded him, and secretly started his own little abacus.

People who can sneak into the court are not stupid, Li Wei was quite favored by His Majesty before, and this time he saved Queen Ma's life, and the saint will definitely be more prosperous in the future.

After the second day of duty, Li Wei's horse mansion slowly began to be lively, not only the people he invited came, but many people he did not invite also invited themselves to meet under the pretext of their relationship.

Although it is not a festival now, and there is no happy event in Li Wei's house, these people who took the initiative to come to the door are still very sensible and bring many gifts.

In the Horse Mansion, Li Wei picked up the ...... at the door Phew, welcome guests, Wu Bozong, Wu Shen, and Wang Jie came together, but they also brought many people with them.

"Ahem, Lord Li, this is Lord Chen Jingchen, the servant of the Ministry of Officials."

Wu Bozong introduced to him with some embarrassment.

He was transferred to the ministry, Chen Jing happened to be his immediate boss, and the boss had a request, so he couldn't refuse, so he brought it over.

"I've seen the concubine, this is a little bit of the lower official's heart, and I hope that the concubine will not be disgusted."

Chen Jing respectfully handed over the gift sticker, and as for the gift, his own subordinate sent it.

Li Wei frowned and said: "The person who comes is a guest, I won't dislike it, but I don't accept gifts for today's treat, so Lord Chen should take things back." ”

Chen Jing was slightly stunned, and cast an inquiring glance at Wu Bozong.

Wu Bozong persuaded loudly: "Lord Chen, let's take back the things, Lord Li is an upright official, and he will definitely not accept it." ”

In fact, he had persuaded Chen Jing before he came, but Chen Jing had to try, so he had no choice but to let him.

Chen Jing saw that Li Wei was indeed not pretending to be polite, so he put away the gift and sighed sincerely: "The master of the horse is high-spirited and bright, which really makes the lower officials admire!" ”

Li Wei pouted secretly, seeing your sincere look, I almost believed it.

"Lord Li, this is Lord Gao Xin, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites." Wu Shen then introduced.

"The lower official meets Li Yuma." Gao Xin was also respectful, because of Chen Jing's experience, he didn't take out the gift card again.

Li Wei looked at these two people, and was suspicious in his heart, these two are both squires, and they are third-grade officials, if they don't count his concubine and second-rank titles, these two people are considered to be on the same level as him in terms of actual positions, but now they not only take the initiative to meet them, but also claim to be a subordinate official, so they should have something to ask for.

But Li Wei couldn't think of what they could ask for for him for a while.

Li Wei nodded perfunctorily to Gao Xin, and it was over, in addition to these two people, there were several people around the three of them, Li Wei cast an inquiring glance at Wang Jie, and Wang Jie immediately introduced: "Master Li, these are the classics and reviews of the Hanlin Academy, this is Liu Zhongzhen, Dong Qiu, Cai Ju......"

Wang Jie introduced several people in a row, the Hanlin Academy is a place to store talents and raise hope, the people here are usually responsible for repairing books and writing history, or drafting some edicts for the emperor and the like, these people are of very low grade, and they boast of being clear, but after learning that Wang Jie was promoted to the fourth grade because of Li Wei's relationship, there are still many people who can't stand the loneliness, after all, if there is no opportunity to reserve talents, it will always be just a reserve, and they also hope to have a place to show their talents.

"I've seen the pony!"

These people also bowed one after another, but compared to Chen Jing and the others, they were still relatively reserved and not so flattering.

After all, they haven't experienced the beating of the court, and they haven't completely put down the shelves of scholars. (End of chapter)
