1635 Han style rises again

Chapter 394 Desire and Obsession ([-])
On March 3, Jianye City, Commander's Mansion.

Qi Tian looked at Hu Wenjin on the opposite side, and showed what he thought was a very kind smile to express his sincerity.

Unexpectedly, this move made Hu Wenjin, who had a lot of ulterior motives, secretly startled. Did this little boy catch any wind?

"You know that even if I read this document, I probably won't understand it. Just tell me." Cao Xiong closed a document that Qi Tian handed him, and said to Qi Tian with a wry smile.

"Uncle, since Hanzhou has been minting gold and silver coins for two years, so far, the total number is about 80 pieces, which is equivalent to nearly a million silver coins." Qi Tian said: "But we don't have a single coin at present." The official management function department lacks sufficient and effective constraints on the issuance and regulation of currency. For this reason, it is necessary for Hanzhou to establish a bank directly under the commanding government, oh, it is the money bank. It is dedicated to the management of currency production and monetary policy in Hanzhou At the same time, it is necessary to effectively supervise and restrict the large and small banks established in Hanzhou in the future, and bring them into unified management."

"In general, the role of this big bank in Hanzhou is, first, to keep the currency of our Hanzhou stable, to avoid the phenomenon (inflation) in the market where there is too much money to buy things (inflation), and to put an end to the market. The phenomenon that the things in the workshop cannot be sold due to lack of money (deflation).

"Second, it is to promote the stability (financial stability) of Hanzhou's silver and money circulation market, and to ensure that there will be no systemic risks in Hanzhou's banks and private lending in the future. Well, it is to prevent bank runs or excessive silver and money loans from causing market chaos. Phenomenon."

"Third, it is to supervise the circulation of Hanzhou coins. You can neither blindly expand the mintage nor deliberately reduce it. It is necessary to make accurate decisions based on the operating environment of the Hanzhou market."

After he finished speaking, he looked up and found that Cao Xiong and Hu Wenjin were already in a state of sluggishness, and immediately understood what he said about the role of the central bank in future generations, so they didn't understand at all.

"In short, the Hanzhou Big Bank to be established needs to be independent to a certain extent, but it must also establish an intercommunication mechanism with the civil government to serve various economic affairs of the Hanzhou Civil Affairs." Qi Tian said: "So, we I would like to suggest that Commander Hu take up this post concurrently, as the first general manager of Hanzhou Big Bank."

"I don't understand how your bank operates, how can you take on this responsibility?" Hu Wenjin subconsciously refused.

"After the establishment of this bank, a number of students will be transferred from the Jianye City University Hall to be responsible for handling this matter. Commander Hu only needs to sit in the middle and maintain the independence of this bank. Moreover, the establishment of the Hanzhou Bank , with the current economic size of Hanzhou, the initial affairs are not complicated. Moreover, during the operation of the bank, it is entirely possible to gradually establish rules while exploring."

"Old Hu, you were stationed in Batavia a few years ago, and you have handled hundreds of thousands of dollars, so you have some experience. I think you will be able to figure out some tricks if you hold this position concurrently." Cao Xiong said with a smile.

"Then... I'll try it first." Hu Wenjin couldn't help but cast a deep glance at Qi Tian, ​​a little confused, what was his intention for letting himself take up this position.

"Currently, the most important business of this big bank in Hanzhou is the coin casting of the Heishan Mint." Qi Tian looked at Hu Wenjin and said meaningfully: "But the current gold mines in Heishan are increasingly depleted, and most of the coins are minted from the mint. The quality of people's income varies, and the process of re-melting will cause a lot of loss. Therefore, Commander Hu might as well spend some time sitting in the town in person to supervise the handling. In addition, a silver mine was discovered near Guanglingbao in the east of Hanzhou, which also requires There are powerful people to supervise and verify this matter."

Hu Wenjin was stunned for a moment, Qi Tian, ​​a kid, actually wanted to take this opportunity to transfer himself away from Jianye City!

"Uncle, I heard a report from Xinxiangbao Chen Dalang a few days ago. It seems that the Sultan of the Weihali Kingdom on Timor Island is about to die. This may cause new changes in the situation on Timor Island. I suggest that the black guard must This is taken very seriously.”

"Isn't Guan Zongxiang about to send someone to Xinxiangbao?" Cao Xiong said.

"Ordinary black-clothed guards, whenever they encounter major events, they must return to each other. If this is the case, they may make mistakes."

"It seems that Guan Zongxiang has to go to Xinxiang Castle in person." Cao Xiong nodded: "Timor Island, we must intervene in it."

--------------

Hu Wenjin looked at Guan Zongxiang gloomyly, but the other party kept drinking without saying a word.

"If we go out to sea, it will take at least two or three months to finish the business at hand. If someone takes this opportunity to take over part of the power from the commander-in-chief, and re-arrange in the military government Do you think we still have a chance to attack him?" Hu Wenjin said coldly.

"What do you say?" Guan Zongxiang drank all the wine in the glass in one gulp.

"Get rid of him in advance." Hu Wenjin said sternly: "As long as we design cleverly and let him die naturally, no one will suspect us."

"Smart design?" Guan Zongxiang smiled wryly, shook his head and said, "How can our black guards have any clever means to kill a person without anyone noticing, and let him show a natural death?" Don't forget, Qi Tian suggested the establishment of this black guard at the beginning, and even taught some of the methods."

"There are 60 of you in Black Clothes, there is no one who understands these insidious methods?" Hu Wenqi asked anxiously.

"It's okay for our black guards to assassinate, poison, or carry out an attack." Guan Zongxiang said: "As for killing people invisible, we really don't know how to do it."

"I heard that there are hundreds of ways for people to die in the Jinyiwei of our Ming Dynasty, so you haven't learned a little?"

"Where did the Jinyiwei from Hanzhou teach us?" Guan Zongxiang counted depressedly: "Qi Tian once said before that spies and assassinations are relatively low-end and relatively low-end methods. He asked us at that time The main purpose is to obtain more sources of information. But I know that he must be familiar with many methods of elaboration. In other words, do people who have read the book really understand everything?"

Hu Wenjin was speechless for a moment, we are now discussing how to kill Qi Tian, ​​and we have to hide it from everyone, what do you mean by admiring Qi Tian's ability to me now?
"Are there any people from Qitian in your black guards?" However, what Guan Zongxiang said particularly aroused Hu Wenjin's vigilance. Qi Tian had participated in the establishment of the black guards and responded to many related actions. If he had planted nails in the black guard in advance, maybe all of Guan Zongxiang's actions would be under the control of the other party.

"...I don't know." Guan Zongxiang was taken aback for a moment, then became nervous, "Maybe, yes."

"You have such close contact with me, do all of you black guards know?"

"Every time I come to look for you, I come here alone." Guan Zongxiang thought for a while and said, "There shouldn't be many people who know about us."

Hu Wenjin couldn't help frowning, and couldn't help sighing in his heart, is this frankly a secretive leader?Even the subordinates under his management don't know if there are hidden stakes inserted by others.

"Go back first, sort out your black-clothed guards, and make sure who you can trust and transfer." Hu Wenjin said to Guan Zongxiang irritably: "Also, calm down and think about how to Carry out our major events. Before we leave Jianye City, we must make a decision!"

Seeing Guan Zongxiang leave in disbelief, Hu Wenjin couldn't help but sighed. He thought it was just killing one person, but who knows, when it was over, both of them felt helpless and didn't know how to proceed.When Qi Tian travels on weekdays, there will always be three or five town soldiers accompanying him. If there is a violent assassination or a sneak attack, let alone whether it will be successful, I am afraid that many flaws will definitely be exposed.Besides, Hanzhou is tightly controlled up and down and is almost isolated from the outside world. If you really want to act hastily, Cao Xiong will definitely find them out in a short time.

Although they planned to get rid of Qi Tian, ​​in order to ensure that Cao Xiong's children would inherit Han Zhou in the future, if something happened, Cao Xiong would definitely let them be buried with Qi Tian in order to give Han Zhou an explanation.

"Master, what are your orders?" An Ottoman guard bowed respectfully and asked Hu Wenjin.

"You guys pack up in the next few days and prepare to go to sea with me." Hu Wenjin ordered with some disinterest.Since things may fail, why not just let it go, honestly go to the eastern part of Hanzhou first, and then watch the future development.

"Of course, Master." The Ottoman guard promised, then turned around and was about to leave.

"Tafa, do you know how to let a person die normally?" Hu Wenjin asked casually.

"Master, do you mean... to assassinate a person and make others think that he died a normal death, is that true?" The Ottoman guard hesitated for a moment, then asked softly.

"Yes! It's to make everyone think that he himself died of a sudden illness." Hu Wenjin looked at the Ottoman guard expectantly, "Tafa, you have a solution, don't you?"

"In Persia, there is a plant with bright and fragrant flowers, leaves, lobes lanceolate, and double-covered tiles. It is very popular with some young women. Many people will pick it back and put it at home as an ornamental The Ottoman guard said slowly: "However, this bright and beautiful plant, no matter when it is in full bloom or withered, if it is swallowed carelessly, it will cause very fatal consequences to people. Moreover, people After death, it was like a sudden death from an emergency."

"Tafa, do you happen to have this kind of...plant on your body?" Hu Wenjin's heart was beating very hard, and his eyes were fixed on the Ottoman guard.

"Yes, master." Taffa replied respectfully.

"Bring it to me!" Hu Wen stood up vigorously, and stretched out his hand to that Tafa.

"Please wait a moment, Master." Tafa said, "I'll get it for you right away."

With that said, Taffa turned and walked out of the house.
