Red Mansion: I am Jia Lian

Chapter 114: Pampering me before I even walked in?

When a snowflake fell on his head, Jia Lian came out of his thoughts and looked up at the vast sky.

I had already thought of "The emperor will lie down and die when he is in a hurry", but he was frightened back by the unreasonable heavy snow. After trembling hard, he remembered the sentence "The vast white field is so clean".

Snowflakes fell on the crook of my neck, it was really cold. Get in the car quickly and go home.

The thoughtful cinnamon at home has already made people burn the floor heating. In this era, floor heating is really a luxury, and it is also easy to be poisoned.

Winter in the capital is like this, dry and cold. Jia Lian subconsciously thought about rubbing some glycerin with his hands.

If it were an ordinary family, you would probably be beaten to death for doing this, but in the Jia family, it is a routine operation, and it is also known as "covering luxury". Well, people can’t help but think of a dish on Jia Mu’s dinner table. The original book specifically emphasized the cooking method.

Jia Lian couldn't tell how delicious it was. After all, no matter how fresh the traditional recipe is, it can't stand up to the industrially produced sodium glutamate.

Jia Lian prefers to eat simply processed meals, such as stewed chicken soup, steamed fish, etc.

Feeling the dryness of his lips, Jia Lian twisted his body a little irritably, and then remembered the emperor's hint.

After a dazzling set of operations, the Shanxi Merchant Bank, which was previously powerful in the Zhou Dynasty, knelt down at the speed of light. The bank account in Beijing was supervised by the Royal Bank of China, and later obtained a license to establish Shanxi Merchants Bank in Beijing. Just before the Spring Festival of the new year, Jinshang Bank was opened for business, and the Jinshang Bank in Beijing was transformed into an office of Jinshang Bank.

Regarding the topic of establishing a bank, under deliberate guidance, the establishment of a bank was ignored, and local branch officials and commercial offices were the focus.

There is no such thing as extinguishing relatives for the sake of justice. This era is about hiding relatives from each other. Killing quietly is the only option.

I couldn't help but have a thought. Is there a possibility that the emperor is reminding Jia Lian that the insects in the Jia family should be careful!

As soon as the old topic passed, a new topic appeared again. After the topic of the branch's official supervision and commercial management was quickly overshadowed by the new topic, the imperial court's matters regarding the establishment of the branch were quietly carried out. The newly established Royal Central Bank was responsible for supervision, and the working group established by the Ministry of Revenue quickly reached an agreement with [private businessmen] to set up pilot branches in Yangcheng and Jinling. The specific allocation of shares is unknown.

These people leave the world quietly, no one will care about them, no one is even willing to take a second look.

Jia Lian's people were numb when they saw the newspaper. Are you so good at playing?

Therefore, in the future, if banks want to issue banknotes, they must have corresponding silver coins and accept the supervision of the central bank. Rather than like in the past, you can just print out as many banknotes as you want.

The first thing after the establishment of the restructured bank was to take back the bank notes issued previously and replace them with bank notes in a unified new format. The biggest advantage of this banknote is that it can be circulated normally in Beijing, Jinling and Yangcheng. The new bank notes are uniformly printed by the Royal Bank, and the format is no longer the number of silver coins, but XX yuan of silver dollars.

This year among teahouses and restaurants, the core of public opinion has been surrounding a series of topics derived from the imperial court's banking issues.

Some older people have said that they have seen new things as they grow older while living in the capital.

The content of the above metaphor is just one. In the past, private banks were outside the official management. As long as they had capital, they could open banks. The banknotes issued by some banks could be circulated as long as they were recognized by the private sector. This phenomenon cannot continue. The reason is also very simple. If private banks issue banknotes indiscriminately, it will lead to extremely serious consequences.

The officials wrote within the rules and brought up a series of topics. Through Zhang Tingen's relationship, Jia Lian could understand them immediately. It was just a hardship for Zhang Gui that he had to brave the snow to deliver letters almost every morning.

The good thing about the snow is that everyone in front of Ge's hometown has dispersed.

As soon as the above metaphor came out, "Jingshi Minsheng Daily" immediately followed up with the report, emphasizing the risks of banknotes. Don't talk about credibility, just talk about whether there are risks in banknotes issued by private banks! Is supervision from the court necessary?

Another winter morning, the moment the city gate was opened, an ox cart came out of the city gate. The cart was filled with frozen corpses. There were also some ghosts on the mass graves outside the city.

Except for the guards at the city gate, looking at the ruts going away, they curled up their necks and sighed quietly.

Amid the quarrels, the Royal Central Bank was listed. It is not difficult to see from the emperor's decree that this is an independent institution directly under the emperor. The scope of power is to supervise the coinage of silver coins and supervise other branches. It does not engage in business itself.

Where are the celebrities gathering, which celebrities have published a collection of poems, which leading prostitutes are present, etc.

Just when interested people were relieved to see that the central bank is just a silver coin issuing agency and a branch management agency, and is not involved in specific operations, a metaphor directly added fuel to the controversy that had been quiet for a while. However, this time it is no longer a business operation run by government officials, but is related to private banks.

At this time in previous years, the most concentrated topic in the capital was the upcoming examination, and the topic that the people were most concerned about was related to the examination.

The rapid development of things made Jia Lian dumbfounded. I just made a small suggestion, but with the urging of the imperial power, the financial system of the Great Zhou Dynasty was born so quickly.

Interestingly, the need for banks to supervise this matter was achieved without much resistance in the Zhou Dynasty.

If this is to be done in the Thirteen States of the Ugly Country, which has just become independent, why shouldn’t the bankers rise up?

How dare the federal government take charge of the affairs of the states? It’s okay if you don’t want this federation!

At this time, it is not difficult to see that throughout the dynasties, businessmen had a low status and were treated like pigs.

No one dares to stand up and speak for the businessman, even if the businessman has a strong backer behind him. On the surface, no one stood up to speak for the bank. The above metaphor makes it very clear that when bank notes are circulated among the people, risks are bound to exist.

Once a bank goes bankrupt, the impact will certainly not be on the bank alone. How many people use banknotes will determine the potential risks.

Among those waiting for the exam, the most talked about topic was, [The imperial court is short of money and wants to start harvesting money from banks. His Majesty's metaphor directly hits the seven inches of the private vote, leaving no room for resistance. 】

The impact of this incident was huge, and private banks were inevitably hit hard. The central bank, which had been well prepared in advance, set up offices in various provinces for emergency business, reviewed the operations of private banks, and issued business licenses to qualified ones. If you don't get a business license, wait until it closes.

Fortunately, the above metaphor clearly stipulates that the time and period are two years. In other words, any bank that has not obtained a business license after two years is asking for death. Because of this time limit, private financial and commercial activities have not been greatly impacted, and the market has not been greatly affected.

Jia Lian, who witnessed the whole development, could only sigh with emotion at home. He really cannot underestimate the wisdom of the ancients.

When he put forward some modern concepts and existing risks in the exchange with Zhang Ting'en, Emperor Chenghui's ministers considered it very seriously, and perfectly cooperated with the rights during execution, fighting an extremely fast battle. Fast war. Before everyone fully understood and responded effectively, the central bank and three branches were established on a pilot basis, and the supervision system of private banks was basically completed.

This is mainly due to the deep-rooted distrust of businessmen from the government to the people. The traditional moral system has always been distrustful of businessmen who are not engaged in production, thinking that they are synonymous with cunning and cunning. Therefore, private businessmen, regardless of whether they are honest businessmen or not, have to put up a sign of being honest and innocent. If they lose their credibility, there is really no room for survival in the soil of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Jia Lian didn't care what others saw from the whole incident, he only cared about the facts he saw.

The imperial power is so powerful that it has no upper limit. Just thinking about it makes my bones feel cold.

In the era of royal centralization, the personal ability of the person sitting on the throne is really important.

The rise and fall cycle of a dynasty is often determined by the actions of a certain emperor during his reign.

Later historians believed that the Ming Dynasty actually perished in Wanli, which essentially means that the Ming Dynasty accelerated the cycle of destruction because of Wanli.

The matter was done, and as the Spring Festival of the new year approached, Emperor Chenghui rewarded him for his merits. Zhang Ting'en, the Minister of Household Affairs, and a bachelor of Wenhua Palace, this was a matter in the court. Yuanchun in the harem was granted the title of concubine by the Jin Dynasty, also known as Yuan Fei.

When it comes to Jia Lian personally, there are no specific benefits in terms of title. When Qiu Shian came to Rongguo Mansion to announce the decree, the Rongning Mansion and the Second Mansion happily opened the middle door to welcome him.

Among the men of the two houses, Jia She, Jia Zheng, Jia Zhen, Jia Lian, Jia Zhu, Jia Baoyu and Jia Rong were present, and the others were not eligible.

Qiu Shi'an waited expressionlessly for the Jia Mansion to set up the incense table, and then read out the edict seriously.

According to the content of the decree on the surface, Jia Yuanchun was virtuous and virtuous, performed well in the palace, and was granted the title of concubine. The Jia family had a good education and was rewarded with some property. There are no specific titles and rewards, and none of the casual officials are available. Everyone in the second room who originally had a beautiful vision was disappointed.

After the decree was announced, Qiu Shi'an did not leave immediately. A smile appeared on his expressionless face and he said to Jia Lian: "Your Majesty has an oral decree. Jia Lian will stay alone to listen to the decree, and the others will avoid it."

Everyone in the Rongxi Hall immediately retreated. The specific state of mind of the individual is unknown. When he came out to wait, Jia She's chin never returned to its normal angle. It was not as exaggerated as looking at the sky from a forty-five-degree angle, but it was definitely a thirty-degree angle. Just a little more. Jia Zheng, the second roommate, had no expression on his face. When Jia Zhu lowered her head, her chin hit her ribs. There was no blood on her already pale face.

Jia Rong looked around excitedly, even ignoring his father's warning eyes. The young Jia Baoyu sensitively realized that the atmosphere was not right, shouted "I'm going to talk to my ancestors" and ran away.

On Jia's mother's side, she looked at Mrs. Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at Youshi, whose eyes were wandering. He was quietly watching the fun.

A thought suddenly came to Jia's mother's mind. When Jia Lian's daughter-in-law came in, should she let the big house move back? Based on her understanding of her eldest son, she probably doesn't want to come back. How comfortable would she be in Dongkuaoyuan?

After this incident, no matter what, Jia Lian was asked to move back and live in Dongkuaoyuan no longer. It was inappropriate.

Earlier, Jia Mu asked Jia Lian to move back, but Jia Lian didn't take action, so Jia Mu just let it go. Now she really can't wait any longer. If she waits any longer, it will be a joke again. Although there are already a lot of jokes in the Rongguo Mansion in the capital, this time is really different.

In the past, people mostly laughed at the fact that the head of the Rongguo Mansion was incompetent. One was simply ruined, and the other gave up many opportunities to go abroad and settled down to be a happy official in Beijing without achieving anything. What about now? Jia Lian still lives in Dongkuaoyuan. Someone must have said that Jia Mu's eyesight is dim.

In the Hall of Rongxi, Qiu Shian said to Jia Lian with a smile on his face: "Super metaphor!"

Jia Lian wanted to pay homage with a big ceremony, but Qiu Shi'an stretched out his hand to stop him: "The sage said, it's just a few common words, no need to pay homage."

Jia Lian insisted on finishing the ceremony, and Qiu Shian did not stop him. He just smiled and said: "Stop kneeling, get up and listen to the order."

When Jia Lian stood up, Qiu Shian continued: "The sage asked you, are you sure that you will be able to win the first prize in the next year's examination?"

When Jia Lian heard this question, his eyes suddenly rolled around. What about emotions and rewards here?

Looking back, even if Jia Lian's test paper failed, the emperor could forcibly find it from the failed paper, right?

【You know how to be an emperor! 】After a feeling of emotion in his heart, Jia Lian did not dare to let Qiu Shian wait too long and answered quickly.

"Since I was born, my clothes and food are all due to my ancestors. The examination is a grand ceremony for the country to promote talents. I will do my best and I don't dare to ask for an extravagant title. If I can win, it will be a lucky coincidence."

Qiu Shi'an looked at Jia Lian with a half-smile, turned around and left without saying anything. Jia Lian hurriedly followed to see him off, and did not stop until he reached the door. Before getting on the sedan, Qiu Shi'an turned back and said with a smile: "Stay!" He pointed to a young chamberlain beside him and said: "His name is Xiao Guizi. He is rich and noble. Remember his appearance."

Jia Lian did not expect to be so blatant, but still said seriously: "Thank you father-in-law for the photo!"

Qiu Shi'an said with a smile: "They are all working for the saint, don't let them go outside."

When they returned to Rongxi Hall, everyone had dispersed and only Jia Mu was in the hall.

Jia Lian didn't know what was going on, so he went to pay homage, but Jia's mother refused. Jia Lian did not insist this time and said with a smile: "Thank you grandma for your love."

Jia Mu had mixed feelings. She raised her hand and nodded and said, "You! Let me go back and ask someone to take over the few yards to the west. After the trial, we can move there." After hearing this, Jia Lian did not refuse immediately, but lowered his head and pondered for a while before saying. : "Grandma, my grandson thinks that someone should go to Wang's house and tell him how to arrange it. Feng'er should have his own ideas."

After hearing this, Mother Jia was slightly startled, and it took a while before she asked with a complicated expression: "Are you so pampered before you even enter the house?"

Jia Lian smiled nonchalantly: "The daughter-in-law that Ming Media is marrying should be pampered when she should be pampered. I think Feng'er, a lady, should be well-educated and a good housekeeper."

When Jia Mu heard this, she immediately smiled and said, "You don't have to worry about that. After Feng'er comes in, grandma will take care of the housekeeping affairs."

Jia Lian pushed further: "Who controls the keys to the public warehouse?"

Mother Jia looked at Jia Lian meaningfully and smiled: "Of course Feng'er has the final say, and difficult things will naturally be discussed and negotiated."

Jia Lian smiled slightly, bowed his head and said, "Thank you, grandma!"
