Great Military Division

Chapter 394 ZTE Bank!Liu Ba, an economic powerhouse, makes his debut!

Youzhou.

Yuan Shao's barracks.

Central Army, big tent.

Yuan Shao sat in the head seat, although he was still the same person, but his mental state was much worse. There seemed to be an extra strand of white hair on his temples, and his forced seriousness caused two frowns on his forehead.

Although his eyes still carried the majesty and aura of the fifth generation and the third prince, anyone with a discerning eye could see that the Yuan Shao of today is obviously different from the Yuan Shao of the past.

"I heard that yesterday, my lord suddenly felt cold and lay on the couch for three hours before waking up. The doctor has been guarding him, but before we left, my lord was still fine."

"I've heard about it too, and I asked the doctor specifically. The doctor hesitated and said nothing, but he finally explained that it's an acute wind-cold that comes on quickly, but as long as you take the medicine, you'll be fine after a period of recovery. .”

"My lord, it's really hard work. I've never heard of acute wind-cold symptoms. Maybe it's because I can't take down Jicheng during this period of time, which probably caused me to get angry."

"Hey, Jicheng is not so easy to fight. Although our military strength is superior, Liu Yu has the hearts of the people. More than [-] people help defend the city. The harder the attack, the more difficult it will be."

"Let's take one step at a time. At least with the help of Baima Yicong this time, we don't have to worry about the Wuhuan Tuqi on the outskirts. We can concentrate on dealing with Liu Yu."

"."

Looking at the civil and military people who were gradually approaching, Yuan Shao tried his best to keep himself calm, his eyes were as bright as stars, and he glanced at the crowd: "Generals, we have reached a cooperation with Gongsun Zan, and he will work with Yuan Hao to deal with the Wuhuan Tudors on the periphery." ride."

"This time, it will be my last chance to capture Jicheng. I also hope that the generals can unite sincerely and go all out to capture Jicheng as quickly as possible."

All the generals and soldiers cupped their hands together: "Here."

"All right."

In normal times, Yuan Shao would definitely mobilize before the battle, but now, he is not in such a big mood at all, so he waved his hand casually and went straight to the topic:
"Where is Yan Liang?" Yuan Shao shouted sonorously.

"The end is here." A burly man appeared from below.

"I order you to lead the main force to attack the south gate of Jixian County. There must be no mistakes."

"Here."

"Where are Gao Lan and Zhang He?"

"The end is here."

"Order the two of you to pretend to attack the east and west gates, and restrain part of the troops at the south gate."

"Here."

"Where is Wen Chou?"

"The end is here."

"You are still in ambush outside the North Gate City as before."

"Here."

"Where is Guo Tu?"

"Subordinates are here."

"Can the catapult be improved?"

"Don't worry, my lord, it has been improved. Although it is not as good as Nanyang Ballista, its offensiveness has been greatly enhanced."

"it is good!"

Yuan Shao breathed a sigh of relief, and his firm eyes swept across the crowd again.

Immediately.

He stood up, picked up the sword from the wooden pile beside him, with a clang, he drew the sword out of its sheath, followed by a cold light flashing, and with a crisp sound, the corner of the handsome case was cut off, revealing a smooth cut surface.

"This battle!"

Holding the sword in his hand, Yuan Shao shouted loudly: "If Liu Yu cannot be captured, everyone from the general down will be beheaded. I hope that the counties will do their best to create miracles!"

All the civil and military forces clapped their hands together, and the momentum was like a wave: "We will do our best."

Yuan Shao waved his hand: "Okay! Let's go back to the camp and prepare to go. After an hour, we will rush to Jicheng and launch a strong attack."

All the soldiers: "Here."

After everyone gradually retreated from the military tent, Yuan Shao, who was pretending to be calm, seemed like a discouraged ball, and immediately withered, sat down on the main seat, and took a deep breath.

After a long time.

He put away his long sword, and secretly felt ruthless in his heart. If he couldn't kill all Hongnong Wang's family, he would definitely be a failure in this life.

*****
Weijun, Yecheng.

A wine shop somewhere.

At this moment, some drinking friends are gathering together, drinking and chatting, bragging and farting, and the atmosphere is very good:

"Have you heard? The people who died outside the city a few days ago are the family members of Jizhou Muyuan Shao."

"Oh? How is this possible? If they don't stay in the city well, why go out?"

"You don't understand this, do you? What is the situation now? The emperor of Nanyang is in full swing, and the three cavalry in advance have already killed our Wei County."

"I've heard of this. There are a large number of corpses more than [-] miles away from Neihuang County. I heard that they are all the corpses of the Huns. They were wiped out by wolf cavalry, tiger cavalry, and leopard cavalry."

"I've also heard about this. It seems that wolf riders, leopard riders, and tiger riders have set up a network of heaven and earth. Once they are trapped, they just feel like they are in it, as if the sky is dark and the ground is dark, and they can't get out at all."

"No wonder, none of the Hun cavalry escaped. So they are proficient in formation? But your formation is a bit too terrifying, it feels like a divine help."

"That's not true! When the Emperor Nanyang was in Luoyang, he had the help of a god. A thunderbolt directly split the bridge, turning the situation around. Then, with the guidance of the gods, he found the Jade Seal of Chuanguo."

"Yes, yes! I have also heard about this matter. His Majesty the Nanyang Emperor returned to Nanyang to proclaim himself emperor precisely because of this Imperial Seal, and he is in a state of confrontation with Chang'an."

"Now that the soldiers in Nanyang are in full swing, Yuan Shao is naturally flustered. He wanted to transfer his family out, so he acted late at night. As a result, the transfer failed, but he was intercepted halfway and killed completely."

"Ah? That's right, why not transfer during the day, but at night?"

"You are stupid, Yuan Shao is not stupid. Wouldn't it cause panic if you moved during the day? So many family members of officials are all transferred out. How is it different from moving the capital?"

"It makes sense! In this way, Yuan Shao is quite insidious."

"It's not a big deal, it's really insidious."

"."

When all the drinking buddies are bragging indiscriminately.

Outside the restaurant, a voice suddenly sounded:
"Rush in quickly and apprehend all those who spread rumors, and there must be no mistakes."

"Here!"

Hula-!
More than a hundred soldiers in armor poured into the wine shop, and immediately surrounded the drinking buddies who gathered together: "It is reported that you are spreading rumors and causing troubles, which has disturbed the people of Yecheng. Now you are arrested and brought back to the county government. Trial."

"Come with us!"

The headed burly man held the handle of the knife and said in a cold voice.

"General, I'm the one waiting to spread rumors and make trouble."

"It's not us, we're just listening, it's him talking nonsense."

All of a sudden, everyone pointed to a coarse cloth man, who trembled with fright, and hurriedly explained: "I'm just hearing it, and that man seems to be called Agui!"

"Take it all away!"

"Here!"

Yecheng County Government.

A man sat on the head, waved his hand to repel the rumormongers in the hall, and immediately picked up a pen to write some names on the paper, lost in thought.

This person is the county lord, called the trial match.

The judge frowned, chewing on a name repeatedly: "Ah Gui! This person must be the assassin from Nanyang, otherwise it would be impossible for so many people to mention him alone."

"But."

The judge got up, paced back and forth, and asked himself secretly: "Could this name be the real name? If it's an assassination, there must be two sets of names, and it may even be disguised."

"Besides, now that I'm arresting rumormongers all over the city, the other party will definitely hide their whereabouts. In this way, the difficulty of arresting will inevitably increase."

"."

"Damn!"

The judge thought hard for a long time, but he couldn't do anything, and finally sighed: "Forget it, it's important to stabilize the situation in Yecheng first. As long as the lord can take Youzhou, the rumors will naturally subside."

"Come here." The examiner greeted.

"exist."

"Continue to send people to search the city, and if anyone spreads rumors, they will all be arrested and jailed."

"Here."

******
Nanyang, Wancheng.

Zhongxing Street.

A four-story building was decorated with lanterns and festoons, and red silk was spread all over the city. All the famous people came to celebrate, because this was a bank run by the imperial court, and it was called Zhongxing Bank.

Shangshu Lu Su personally unveiled the plaque, and Liu Ba, the new capital order of the imperial court, was the first owner of Zhongxing Bank, responsible for spreading Zhongxing Bank all over the country.

now.

The top floor of Zhongxing Bank.

Liu Bianduan sits at the head, and there are two people standing below, they are Lu Su and Liu Ba.

After closing the relevant rules of the bank, Liu Bian nodded with satisfaction: "You have done a very good job, this is a start, to support your work."

"The imperial court has decided that all officials' salaries will be distributed in the form of ZTE money notes, and every current business deal of the imperial court will also be settled in the form of ZTE money notes."

Liu Ba was overjoyed, bowed his body and cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, in this way, Zhongxing Bank will definitely become popular all over the country in a short period of time, and I will be able to spread it in the fastest way."

"kindness."

Liu Bian took out the responsibility letter prepared in advance from the side: "This is the responsibility letter that I drafted temporarily. Your goal is to at least set up Zhongxing Bank in Yuzhou, Xuzhou, Heluo, Nanyang, and above the county level before the end of this year. .”

"In addition, in Jingzhou, Yangzhou, Yizhou and other places, at least in key cities, Zhongxing Bank should be opened. The funds will be provided by Zijing for the time being. After the Zhongxing Bank is operating normally, it can be returned."

"Can you do it?"

Liu Ba had to admit that the conditions given by His Majesty the Emperor were relatively difficult.

But
Because the imperial court will fully support him, he also has a certain degree of confidence, and immediately bowed his body and cupped his hands and said: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will definitely do my best to complete this letter of responsibility."

"it is good."

Liu Bian handed the letter of responsibility to Liu Ba: "In that case, let's sign it."

Liu Ba raised his eyebrows, "Here."

Immediately.

He stepped forward and wrote down his name with a pen.

At this moment, the netizens in the live broadcast room are boiling again:
"Damn! Master Bian played this KPI to the extreme. There are only four months left in this year, and he still does it like this. Are you trying to exhaust Liu Ba to death? He is also named Liu anyway."

"It's born from the same root, so why rush to meet each other! But then again, is this Liu Ba a Han family clan relative? I've been searching on Baidu for a long time, but there is no result."

"Hehe, did you miss something? The information Lu Su handed over has already proved that Liu Ba is indeed a Han family clan, but this person is worse than Liu Bei, and the ancestors have not had a Marquis for a long time."

"That's right, his father served as the prefect of Jiangxia County and General Dangkou, and his patriarch was also the prefect of Cangwu County in the Eastern Han Dynasty, so his childhood is not bad, at least he is better than Liu Bei."

"Well, this is reliable. It really is born from the same root, so there is no need to be too anxious."

"That's right, Master Bian is too ruthless, he won't even spare his own clan."

"It's right not to let it go. When Dong Zhuo was crusade, how many Han family members came?"

"If they are not killed now, it is my master Bian's extrajudicial mercy."

"."

For these contents, Liu Bian is now completely immune.

He chose Liu Ba as the financial order not because he was a clan member of the Han Dynasty, but because he had a certain understanding of economics. In history, he had helped Liu Bei solve financial problems.

Of course!
Although, his method was somewhat immoral, which led to a certain degree of inflation in the Shu Han, but it was the blood of the people that made Liu Bei successful.

However, the person who can think of that method in this era and successfully implement it has already proved that he is extraordinary. Such a person only needs a little guidance to become a talent.

Liu Bian immediately put away the letter of responsibility and handed it over to Zhu Tong who was standing beside him: "Put it away."

Zhu Tong cupped his hands: "Here."

After receiving the letter of responsibility, put it directly into the wooden box for storage.

Immediately.

Liu Bian turned to Liu Ba, and said softly, "Did Zijing talk to you about Yizhou?"

Liu Ba nodded and nodded, "Yes, we've already talked."

"very good."

This saved Liu Bian a lot of things: "Since that's the case, your main goal this year is to open a bank in Yizhou, which will make things easier for us, understand?"

Liu Ba was full of confidence, and immediately patted his chest to promise: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will definitely complete the task, and I will never disappoint Your Majesty's trust in me."

"kindness."

After Liu Bian explained all the things that should be explained, he got up slowly: "Since that's the case, I should go back to the palace. If you have anything to do, just go to the palace and look for me."

Both of them clasped their hands together: "Respectfully send off Your Majesty."

After sending His Majesty the Emperor away from the bank, the two returned.

Just bumped into a refined man head-on.

The man smiled all over his face, and bowed his hands from a distance: "Zhu is here to congratulate Zijing, Zichu."

Lu Su immediately introduced: "Zichu, this is Mi Zhu from the Mi family in Xuzhou. A large part of the imperial court's goods are sold through their family's channels."

"So it's Mi Zizhong!"

Liu Ba hastily bowed and said in a soft voice, "I've admired you for a long time."

Mi Zhu didn't dare to ask for it, and returned the gift in a hurry: "I'm just a merchant, how can I accept Liu Zi's gift, I'm waiting here for the two masters, I hope to deposit a sum of money, and then use it for business."

"Oh?"

Liu Ba's eyes lit up suddenly: "This is a good thing, isn't it done at the counter?"

Mi Zhu said softly: "There are quite a lot of people queuing up at the counter, but the next order is more urgent. I may leave Nanyang and rush to Xuzhou later, so I hope to be accommodating."

"Some staff are already counting the number of coins, but there are too many. I'm afraid they won't be able to finish the counting in three or five days. I can't stand guard here!"

Liu Ba said without hesitation: "This matter is easy to hear. The imperial court newly invented the balance scale. As long as the coins are weighed, the total amount can be roughly judged."

"If the total amount exceeds the standard, the official will issue a ticket for you in person, and you can leave with it, and leave a clansman here to guard it. If there is any excess, we will naturally withdraw for you."

"If the total amount is insufficient, you can find someone to make up for it first, and the official can still invoice you. The method is the same as before. I don't know Zizhong, what do you think?"

Mi Zhu was overjoyed, and hurriedly bowed: "Very good! Very good! I can't ask for it."

Liu Ba waved his hand: "Let's go and have a look."

Mi Zhu cupped his hands: "Here."

Everyone immediately rushed to the counting room on the side.

Because ancient coins had weight requirements.

Although on the surface, the size may be the same, but if the weight is insufficient, it is a bad coin, and the weight must be made up.

Therefore, within the bank, the balance is said to be a must-have thing, from small to large, everything is available.

No matter whether it is storage or delivery, all must be weighed by the balance scale, and only when the standard is met can it be stored, and vice versa, it must also meet the standard before it can be delivered.

"Come on."

Liu Ba greeted: "Bring the largest scale."

The bank staff greeted: "Here."

Soon.

A huge balance was carried over.

At this moment, Liu Ba had already calculated the weight, and said softly: "A coin weighs five baht, ten coins are fifty plants, one hundred coins are five hundred plants, one thousand coins are five thousand coins, and ten thousand coins are five thousand coins. That's [-] plants."

"Zizhong needs to deposit 160 million pieces of five baht coins, and the total is 810 million plants. One stone is four jun, one jun is thirty catties, one catty is 16 taels, and one tael is 24 plants."

"Based on this calculation, one stone is 46 plants, ten stones is 460 plants, and one stone is [-] plants."

"According to your description, you have [-] coins in this box, so the total weight of coins in your box should be in"

Liu Ba's talent in arithmetic is also amazing.

This is another reason why Liu Bian chose Liu Ba as the capital order. After all, he has to deal with numbers every day. If he does not have a certain calculation ability, he will not be competent for the job.

When Liu Ba was pinching his fingers and calculating in his mind, Mi Zhu, Lu Su, and all the staff in the audience stared at the scene in disbelief with their eyes wide open.

Everyone calmed down unconsciously, as if they were all looking forward to Liu Ba's final result: "Two stones, twenty catties, six hundred and sixteen plants are correct."

"Come on!"

Liu Ba greeted immediately: "Go and get two weights that weigh one stone, twenty ones that weigh one catty, six ones that weigh one tael, and sixteen weights that weigh one plant."

The staff responded immediately: "Here."

Soon.

The weights are brought over and placed on the balance.

Immediately afterwards, a box of coins was poured into the designated wooden box.

When the balance returned to balance, as expected, it was almost balanced, but at a slight angle.

Mi Zhu added three more coins to the coin box, and the pointer in the middle returned to zero.

"Next box!" Liu Balang shouted.

"Here."

The whole process took only a quarter of an hour, and all calculations were completed.

After adjustment, the coin is exactly the same.

Liu Ba nodded in satisfaction: "Zizhong is really honest, I will issue a ticket for you immediately."

Mi Zhu cupped his hands: "Liu Ziqian is just astonishing as a man of heaven, and I admire him the most."

"where!"

Liu Ba waved his hands disdainfully: "Nowadays, even young children in the imperial court can calculate this thing. It's not a big skill, it's just proficiency."
