Chapter 744: The First Female Official of the Tang Dynasty
"Who told you that it was made privately, I made it openly." Li Ke said with a serious face, what is it made privately, who said it? I don't believe it anyway.
Li Yan was a little speechless, but she really didn't know if Li Ke made it herself, but there was a great possibility that this was the case, she knew her Highness too well.
"Your Highness, isn't it okay if we don't make mistakes, otherwise Your Majesty will beat you again." Li Yan paused, and then said helplessly.
"No, this time I am in charge of a department, so many people, of course I did it myself, otherwise, the production of the Weaving and Dyeing Department is too slow. Come on, come on, put on your clothes and hurry to work, I now appoint you as the right secretary of Datang Central Bank, responsible for handling all matters of Datang Central Bank on a daily basis. Li Ke said very simply.
Li Yan: "......"
"Your Highness, are you serious?" Li Yan was a little helpless, Datang respects the left, and the right means the deputy, but most departments generally only have Shangshu, and then there is the waiter. can be called a scholar, which means that the level of Datang Central Money Village is the same as the previous six departments.
And the department Shangshu is the real position of the three products, and the others such as the waiter, the Zhongshu order, the subordinate waiter, the Zhongshu waiter, the left and right guards and other sixteen guard generals, Taichangqing, etc. are all three products.
For example, although Wei Zheng is now serving as a servant and is actually a third product, Wei Zheng has added a seal, which is a positive product.
There are only a few Datang Zhengyi products: Taishi, Taifu, Taibao, Taiwei, Situ, and Sikong.
And from the first product, there are: the prince and the prince, the prince and the prince, the prince and the prince, the prince and the three divisions, etc., many of which are scattered officials.
Li Yan is only seventeen years old this year, and she is still a woman, and she is a real job in the third grade, which is ...... Not to mention the past dynasties, I haven't heard of it even in the history books.
"Seriously, hurry up, today Shangshu Province must have vacated the office space for the central money village, you go over to take it, after all, the back office is what you often go, you say that you are always staying in this mansion now, your knowledge is wasted, it is not easy for people to learn a little thing in this life, and it is even more difficult to have the opportunity to use the real situation, I don't want you to become a woman who only teaches her husband and children in the future."
"I think you must be able to leave your name in the history books and let them all know, who said that women are inferior to men?" Li Ke said seriously.
Li Yan was a little shy and excited when she heard this, yes, what woman in this world would meet someone like His Highness? That's me, speaking of which, I'm really lucky.
"Then I'll go." Li Yan said seriously.
"Let's go, I'll send you to the gate of the imperial city." Li Ke nodded.
In addition to Li Yan, the accountant Li Ke who helped Li Ke in charge of counting the six data last time was also arranged for Li Yan, and the person in charge was called Ning Quan, and asked him to be Li Yan's deputy.
There are not many tasks in the early stage of Datang Central Bank, the main thing is the acceptance task, these do not need Li Yan to worry about, when the time comes, there will naturally be trained personnel to be responsible, to put it bluntly, that is, the banknotes in Li Ke's hands are all distributed, and they want to exchange silver or copper coins directly to the bank.
Another kind of task is similar to the check of later generations, which belongs to the exchange business, the reason why the check is used, because the check will keep a copy, and the copy is an important voucher for reconciliation, for some commercial banks and the treasury and other aspects of the expenditure, check exchange is necessary.
This check is not the same as the check of later generations, and many people have the misunderstanding that like the future generations, the owner of the check signs, fills in the relevant amount and then goes to the bank to exchange, and the bank deducts it directly from the account of the owner of the check.
This is certainly impossible, and there are no conditions to play this account system in this era.
At this time, the check launched is a fixed amount check, it is the same as paper money, there is also a fixed amount, but there will be other information on it, such as for the Ministry of Finance, it will be printed: the Ministry of Finance special check, special anti-counterfeiting label and supporting exclusive password, will also indicate that it is forbidden to circulate, if it cannot be exchanged because of circulation, it is not responsible, each check should have a special person to deduct the official seal and the check both sides to sign and private seal.
The person who gets the check needs to go to the bank to exchange it for the same amount of banknotes, and the check will be collected by the bank, and when the cheque is exchanged, there will also be a relevant signature and engraved seal on the bank.
Cheques are used for reconciliation, which may seem cumbersome, but they are relatively simple to make, and they don't even require money-specific paper and modern printing presses.
This thing is specifically aimed at large customers, who can even go to the bank at the end of the year to extract the relevant backups, and then go back to reconcile the accounts themselves.
Another kind of bill of exchange similar to the check, some people are afraid that it is not safe to carry a large amount of money, and can be carried out by way of exchange, this kind of bill of exchange is the exclusive bill of exchange between the Datang Central Bank in the face of the local money bank, and there is a unique anti-counterfeiting verification between the two places, which outsiders do not know.
For example, Li Ke didn't want to carry 1 million guan of money from Chang'an to Guangzhou, nor did he want to carry 1 million guan of banknotes, so he used this method to exchange them for bills of exchange. The bill of exchange was transported from Chang'an to Guangzhou by the internal personnel of the central bank, accompanied by the sketch portrait of the person handling the bill, the verbal code, and the token divided into two to guarantee.
Of course, this fee is not cheap.
Anyway, the role of this thing is to study and implement a feasible routine, and it does not support sending money to others for the time being, as for whether anyone uses it, then Li Ke doesn't care. When there is no bank, when there is no paper money, there are people who can transport large quantities of gold and silver, and this is nothing.
Later, when electromagnetism developed to a certain point and there was radio, it was possible for different people to send money to each other in this kind of remote exchange.
In addition to these temporary operations, other activities are more to investigate how much money banks need to be opened, and the circulation of banknotes.
After sending Li Yan into the imperial city, Li Ke left, and she had to take this step sooner or later, so Li Ke just gave her the relevant tokens, and didn't care about the rest.
Entering the imperial city, Li Yan took a deep breath, at this moment she was wearing a red court dress and an official hat on her head, but she did not hide her feminine characteristics, and even she wore makeup and small earrings, so a discerning person could see at a glance that she was a woman.
To be honest, Li Yan once thought about how she would appease these subject countries for the Tang Dynasty if she became a friendly person and went to these subject countries, but she never thought that she would one day become an official of the Tang Dynasty like those famous ministers of the dynasty! And it's a three-grade official!
