Chapter 526
In mid-September, Qin Dewei and his party arrived in Tongzhou along the canal.It is still the old practice, after a night's rest, abandon the boat and board the car.

Ma Er, who was sent to the front station, came out from the capital again, went to Tongzhou to meet Qin Dewei, and reported key information on the way:
"Miss Li's family has followed the Liaodong Squad Army to the capital, and they are now living in Xikuayuan."

Qin Dewei sighed, too many people is troublesome, if Miss Li hasn't arrived in the capital yet, Wang Lianqing can be placed in Xikuayuan first.

But since Miss Li's family has already occupied it first, they can only find another place to house Wang Lianqing.

If you don't want to move, the best way now is to buy the house next door to the east to house Wang Lianqing, and then get through.

Hey, it seems that a time traveler has done this before, and it seems that he even used a bachelor to "persuade" the other party to sell the house.

It is not easy to live in the capital, especially in the high-end square area.

Ma Er said with sincere emotion: "The little one finally understands why the master refuses to take Miss Liu Yue in Nanjing."

With the current situation, if there is one more woman, Mr. Qin might go crazy.It's also fortunate that Mrs. Gu didn't come over this time, otherwise she would be even crazier.

From this, Ma Er got a life experience: If you want to recruit many women, don't look for too outstanding ones, otherwise you won't be wronged by any of them, and it will be difficult to settle down.

Unfortunately, for most people, this experience may not be useful.

While worrying, Qin Dewei ordered: "Then you should go to the city first and tell Taoist Priest Tao to borrow his space!"

The Palace of Appearance is not small, and there are also independent courtyard guest rooms, which are close to home, so Qin Dewei planned to let Wang Lianqing live there temporarily.

This kind of thing is not surprising, it is too common to stay in palaces and temples in this era.

Now, we can only take one step at a time.Ma Er got the order and went back to the city to make arrangements in advance.

When he entered the capital, Qin Dewei could not be separated for the time being. As an envoy, he had to cancel his official duties first.

Therefore, Wang Da and Ma Er can only be responsible for the settlement of Wang Lianqing and the backbone of the bank's business.

After returning home, Qin Dewei returned to his room after visiting his parents.

While talking about family affairs with Xu Miaoxuan, he was thinking about various problems that needed to be dealt with.

Suddenly I heard Xu Miaoxuan ask: "The capital is better, or Nanjing?"

Although Qin Dewei was tired after the long journey, his mind was still clear, and he answered perfectly: "The place where you are is the best!"

Looking at the sun, there is still some time today, Qin Dewei went out again: "I'll go out again."

Xu Miaoxuan quickly grabbed her husband and asked, "Where are you going?"

Qin Dewei said: "I'll go to Taoist Priest Tao to ask something!"

Xu Miaoxuan sighed: "You don't ask the common people to ask the ghosts and gods, but you go to Tao Laodao first after you come back.

Or are some people so good that you can't let go of them for a moment? "

Qin Dewei swore: "Don't think about it, no one is as good as you! I really have a business to find Taoist Priest Tao! It's absolutely true, or you go with me?"

Xu Miaoxuan let go of her husband and said: "Okay, okay, I just take a shower first, you go early and come back early!"

When Qin Dewei arrived at the Apparition Palace, he neither went to the guest room nor the courtyard, but went straight to the back hall to meet Tao Tao.

Tao Zhongwen was very surprised, you, Qin Dewei, returned to the capital, why did you come to see him as an old man first?

No matter from which angle you look at it, he, Tao Zhongwen, is not in the front row.

Qin Dewei didn't care so much, and had a secret conversation with Tao Laodao after asking questions, and then he was completely relieved.

Some things are afraid of being wiped out by the butterfly effect, so don't worry if you don't ask.

After skimming over the family affairs, on the next day, Qin Dewei went to the Imperial Academy to report, saying that he had returned from a business trip.

In the Zhuangyuan hall, Zhao Zhenji and Xu Gu, two concubines of the same age, were working hard.

After all, it was Qin Dewei who was ordered to revise the "Emperor's Precepts", so a lot of relevant materials were piled up in the Zhuangyuan Hall.

The two of them were tricked by Qin Dewei into working as coolies, so they could only come here to work.

After walking in, Qin Dewei asked casually, "The past few months have passed, how are you doing?"

Xu Gu replied: "Emperor Gao's Sermons are estimated to be in fifteen volumes, and eight volumes have been revised, with about [-] words."

Qin Dewei nodded, "Very good! Give me the draft, and I will review and record it when I get home."

It's been a long time since we saw each other, so we naturally wanted to chat. After sitting down, Qin Dewei asked again, "How's the situation between the court and China these past few months?"

Zhao Zhenji and Xu Gu were very surprised, they didn't expect Qin Dewei to ask this.

In their cognition, Qin Dewei knew so many bigwigs, if he wanted to know about the recent situation of the imperial court, why bother to ask them two newcomers who were still studying in the Imperial Academy.

But for Qin Dewei, the interests of those bigwigs are too involved, and what they say is often not objective enough.

However, newcomers like Zhao and Xu who were studying in the Imperial Academy have not been completely polluted, and their words are more objective and credible.

It was Xu Gu who replied: "Recently, the court situation is stable, there is nothing special."

It's not that Xu Gu is slow or insensitive. It is indeed a rare period of stability in the Jiajing Dynasty from the 15th year of Jiajing to the 17th year of Jiajing.

Qin Dewei asked again: "Is there any dispute between the big shots?"

In a stable situation, this kind of thing is inevitable. It is not a disadvantage to have more information.

Xu Gu continued to answer: "In the past two months, Elder Xia Ge and Elder Gu Ge had argued a few times, but it has subsided."

The result is self-evident, it must be that Master Xia is strong and Gu Dingchen is weak.

But Zhao Zhenji remembered something, and said something else: "I heard that Lord Wang Junchuan had a dispute with Marquis Wuding recently, and it seems to have something to do with you."

Lord Wang Junchuan is of course the prime minister of the royal court, the admiral of the Beijing camp, and Wu Dinghou is the first military official Guo Xun, the admiral of the Beijing camp chief.

Why did Wang Tingxiang fight Guo Xun?Qin Dewei said suspiciously: "What does it have to do with me? I haven't been in the capital for the past few months!"

Zhao Zhenji added: "In order to supervise the manufacture of firearms, since your new cannon was successfully trial-produced, the imperial court ordered mass production, and the first batch is expected to be [-] pieces.

Naturally, this job was undertaken by the Military Weapons Bureau. Originally, the Ministry of Industry and Mr. Wang should jointly supervise the manufacture, but Wu Dinghou Guo Xun joined forces with the Ministry of War to snatch the responsibility of supervising the manufacture of new firearms. "

After hearing this, Qin Dewei felt that Guo Xun was really a pain in the ass, and he was looking for trouble for nothing.

After you have won the favor of the emperor as a martial artist, why don't you go to enjoy the wealth and honor, what are you doing to provoke civil servants?
Relying on being popular, you will compete with civil servants for food. After a few years, if you don't die, who will die?

While thinking about it, Qin Dewei said: "I only focus on the research and development of firearms, I have never been involved in mass production.

So the dispute between Senior Wang and Guo Xun actually has little to do with me.You have to figure it out, Senior Wang is Senior Wang, I am me, don't confuse them. "

When Qin Dewei said this, it was not because he had any opinion on Wang Tingxiang, but because he consciously established himself as an "independent hilltop" in front of the "little brothers".

He, Qin Dewei, is not an accessory of the bosses!
But Qin Dewei had just finished speaking when he heard someone outside the door shouting loudly, "Is Qin Banqiao here? I heard you came back from Nanjing?"

Who is so impolite, yelling so loudly in the Imperial Academy?
Immediately, I saw a senior second-rank boss come to the door of the house. Who is it if it's not Wang Tingxiang?
Qin Dewei was taken aback. After all, your court minister is also one of the "Ten People Group (Three University Scholars and Seven Foreign Ministers)" of the current imperial court. What are you going to do by showing up in such a disregard of dignity?
Zhao Zhenji and Xu Gu's faces were strange, thinking of Qin Dewei's intentional separation just now, and looking at Wang Tingxiang who lowered his figure, they felt that they had learned a vivid lesson. Could it be that this is politics?
Qin Dewei hurriedly stood up to greet him: "Why did the old man come? Let me be far away!"

Wang Tingxiang didn't come in, so he stood outside the door, looked around, and said with emotion:

"The old man passed by the Hanlin Academy, and remembered the time when he was selected as a good scholar and studied in the Hanlin Academy 34 years ago, so he couldn't help coming in to have a look.

The number one scholar in that subject was Kang Duishan, and this is where the old man discussed poetry and papers with him, and they were jointly ranked among the seven talents. "

Generally, other government officials may be embarrassed to enter the Imperial Academy, after all, this is the top of the literati discrimination chain.But Wang Tingxiang used to be a good scholar, so he has no such scruples.

Qin Dewei smiled "hehe" and said, "I thought I hadn't seen you for a few months. The old man came to see me. It seems that I am being affectionate."

Wang Tingxiang entered the room, "It's not wrong to say that I saw you. I heard that you are back, so I came to the Zhuangyuan hall to sit down!"

Zhao Zhenji and Xu Gu looked at each other, and were about to take the initiative to avoid it, but were stopped by Wang Tingxiang and said: "The old man has not talked with the young talent for a long time, and today we just happened to get close together."

Afterwards, Wang Tingxiang chatted with Qin Dewei, and asked one thing: "You once said that you will build a heavy artillery that is [-] times more powerful, is it true at this time?"

Qin Dewei replied truthfully: "The heavy artillery of that kind is completely different from the Frang machine gun, from the method of construction to the way of use.

At present, there is no prototype that can be imitated, and it is more time-consuming to develop, and it is by no means easy to complete.

Moreover, the emperor ordered me to compile a book, which would take up too much energy.So after this year, I will think of a way to trial-produce a heavy artillery piece next year, but it's really hard to say when it will be completed. "

Wang Tingxiang drank a cup of tea while chatting, and then left.

Qin Dewei was baffled by this, he thought Wang Tingxiang would talk about Guo Xun, but he didn't mention a single word.

Is it really just to come and see?Or was it intended for others to see?

As long as Wang Tingxiang doesn't mention it, Qin Dewei won't think about it for the time being.

It's not that Qin Dewei is cold, he still has a lot of people to visit, and he has a lot of things to think about, so his energy is really limited.

Although the imperial court has no major affairs, he has many personal affairs!

After explaining a few words to the two book editors, Qin Dewei also left the Zhuangyuan hall to pay a visit to Mr. Zhang.

Qin Dewei saluted and said: "I haven't seen you for a few months, and the teacher's demeanor is getting better and better! I see that the teacher's face is rosy, and there should be a happy event!"

Zhang Xueshi asked scoldingly: "How did Zhou Shangshu provoke you? Let you be so relentless? The old man in the court has many complaints against you. After all, you are all from Nanzhili."

Qin Dewei replied helplessly: "You may not believe it, but it is actually a misunderstanding. The origin of the matter starts with a beauty on the Qinhuai River."

Zhang Xueshi waved his hand and said, "If you know I don't believe it, then don't make it up, and I don't want to hear it either."

Qin Dewei also explained: "Teacher, you people from other provinces may not understand. This has nothing to do with Nanzhili. There is no Nanzhi Township Party, and each prefecture has its own."

After coming out of the Imperial Academy, Qin Dewei went to the Ministry of Household Affairs, and asked Da Situ Wang Yiqi, whom he supported so much, to handle affairs.

"You said to set up a bank in the capital?" Situ Wang asked a little confused: "If you want to open a bank, you can open it. Do you need to talk to the Ministry of Household Affairs?"

Qin Dewei explained: "Nanjing only needs to use the power of the government to do business with other people is enough to make money.

But it is useless to take advantage of the situation in the capital. You must do business directly with the government, so you need the care of the household department. "

Afraid that Wang Da Situ would not understand, Qin Dewei gave an example and said: "For example, craftsmen, when Taizong built the capital, the system established was that craftsmen from all over the country worked in shifts in the capital.

However, because of the long distance, some artisan households were unwilling to go back to their original places after serving in the capital, and some artisan households were unwilling to go to the capital in their original places.

After the situation gradually evolved, the artisan households who stayed in the capital undertook all the imperial servants and were supported by the imperial court, but lost their freedom.

And those craftsmen households who were originally from the capital did not have to travel thousands of miles to serve in the capital, they only needed to pay the service money every year, but they were free.

So in the current situation, although the craftsmen in the capital and the craftsmen in the south of the Yangtze River are both craftsmen, they have become two kinds of people.

In the south of the Yangtze River, money banks could lend money to craftsmen to help them open shops and workshops, but it was not possible in the capital.

This is the difference between the two places, so if you want to open a bank in the capital, you can't copy the model from Jinling. "

One side is the birthplace of capitalism mentioned in textbooks, and the other side is the stronghold of feudal forces. It is useless to talk about such a truth, so I will not tell Uncle Wang.

Wang Yiqi roughly understood the meaning, and said again: "In fact, there are some money houses in the capital, but the business is very simple, not even Jinling Yuanfeng.

It’s not impossible to try cooperation, but if you make an opening on the Ministry of Accounts, others will definitely follow suit, and it will still be difficult for you at that time. "

Wang Da Situ had a subtext that didn't make it clear that you Qin Dewei can run rampant in Jinling, first use physics to wipe out competitors, and then use new models to establish extremely high industry barriers, but it will definitely not work in the capital.

Qin Dewei said indifferently: "What I'm thinking of, of course, is an exclusive business, and others can't learn it even if they want to!
For example, the money collected by the Ministry of Households in Jiangnan's tax customs, sub-bureaus, and publicity department can be sent directly to Nanjing Yuanfenghao Bank.

Then the household department can take out all the money from the Beijing bank, and there is no need to escort the silver to Beijing. How much manpower and material resources can be saved? "

In the 15 years of Jiajing, this kind of foreign exchange was unheard of. Wang Yiqi couldn't help questioning: "Can this be done?"

Qin Dewei resolutely said: "It can definitely be done! But at the beginning, the amount should not be too large, so take it slowly."

After 200 years, what the Shanxi bank can do, there is no reason why he, a traveler, can't do it, and he has referred to many modern bank elements in the design of the bank.

Wang Yiqi asked again: "You also know that the department of households receives money in the south of the Yangtze River and pays in the capital.

If you want to do this kind of business, you can only go in and out in Nanjing, and the capital can only go out but not in, so how to balance it? "

Qin Dewei said with a chuckle: "There are so many officials from Jiangnan, and if you make money as an official, don't you have to send it to your hometown?

In this way, the capital receives the cash again, and Jiangnan pays, isn't it balanced with the Ministry of Households?To put it bluntly, the business of the capital is the government and officials. "

Wang Yiqi: "."

No wonder Qin Dewei said that opening a bank in the capital cannot follow the model of Jinling at all.This child's mind is really difficult for ordinary people to fathom.

 Ahhh, I have fallen into a state where I don’t know what to write at all. Why don’t you tell me what I want to see in these foreshadowings?
