Hee Emperor of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 604 Central Bank (Second Change)

In the middle of the night, in the Hall of Mental Cultivation in Daming Palace, Yuan Xi suddenly sighed, as if his blood was quenched by a bottle of cold water.

"Your Majesty, there is no problem with printing, but the key lies in the quality of banknotes and anti-counterfeiting marks. These are not books, and everything required is very cumbersome. At present, Tiangongyuan's printing is all manual, and it is impossible to meet the needs of the whole country. Mass production, according to Chen's estimate, may not be able to overcome this difficulty within a few years." Ma Jun's voice echoed.

Thinking of this, Yuan Xi gave a wry smile. He still had too high a view on the productivity of this era. Without machines and electricity, banknotes could not be produced effectively, and banknotes could not be popularized. Banks were of little significance, because the country could not Mint so many five baht coins for loans.

"Your Majesty, although the current technology cannot reach that level, at least I have this idea. If this generation can't do it, I will leave it to the next generation. Your Majesty has already accomplished too much," Zhuge Liang comforted in a low voice, Yuan Xifang was only 30 years old and ruled the world, and he took over Goguryeo, Ding Sihan, Ping three tribes, and even the overseas Japanese kingdom was wiped out. His great achievements are already alone in the ages.

But even if you are alone through the ages, you are not a god-man, and many things cannot be made together.

Yuan Xi nodded lightly. This is governing the country. Even if there is a new generation of ideas, it must be subject to contemporary technology.

"Gu may be in too much of a hurry. I'll put it in the record book. I'll see if I have a chance to use it in the future. First, follow your method. Set up banks in the state capitals of my states. The central bank is the main one. You will also be the first governor of the central bank." , from today, the right to mint coins will also be separated from Shangshutai and handed over to the central bank.

Zhuge Liang was shocked when he heard this, and quickly said: "Your Majesty, the central bank is an extraordinary department. I think I don't have enough qualifications. It's better to let the two adults, Zuo Xiang and Shang Shuling, take charge of it."

"Your qualifications are long enough. You have managed Shangshutai well. The central bank is nothing to you. Besides, you need to stand alone." Yuan Xi waved his hand.

"But Your Majesty, the minister is still in charge of the household department under Shangshutai, so now" Zhuge Liang said with some worry, because in this way, Daxi's entire finances will be under his control.

"It's because of this that you are the most suitable. If the central bank cannot be linked to the national treasury, how can you control the amount of loans?" Yuan Xi said softly.

"But"

"No need, but when the central bank is stabilized, it will separate from the national treasury and form its own," Yuan Xi comforted.

Hearing this, Zhuge Liang heaved a sigh of relief, cupped his fists and said, "I obey the order!"

"Although the scale is much smaller, it is also easier to control and may be more effective. You have to work hard," Yuan Xi said with a smile.

"promise!"

"By the way, Kong Ming, it is reasonable to say that your contribution is no less than that of the right minister, and I can't live without you for a day, but this time the founding ceremony, I can only give you the title of Marquis. You have nothing to complain about!" Yuan Xi said softly.

"Your Majesty is serious. I have been with Your Majesty for less than four years. I have already been the head of the Shangshutai, and now I am the governor of the Central Bank, controlling the right to mint coins. This is an existence that others cannot look up to in their entire lives. Let alone a Marquis, there is no one." For the title, I am very grateful to His Majesty," Zhuge Liang immediately said in panic.

"Haha" Yuan Xi laughed loudly, and said: "Kong Ming, Gu can't reward you too much for the time being, but Yueying can, Gu decided to confer him the title of Mrs. Daxizheng First Grade."

"Your Majesty" Zhuge Liang was startled.

"Don't say too much, it's arranged like this," Yuan Xi ordered.

"Thank you, Your Majesty," Zhuge Liang saluted helplessly.

After Zhuge Liang left, Yuan Xi waved his hand lightly, and said to Zheng Chun, "Let Shi Yuan and Yuan Zhi come here, the Central Bank's money is too much. I guess Kong Ming is under a lot of pressure and needs their help."

"promise!"

. . . . .

In the early morning of the next day, Yuan Xi announced the formation of the Central Bank and Zhuge Liang’s order to serve as the first president. After understanding the significance of the Central Bank, everyone was shocked, especially the coinage right, which is an incomparably huge right , plus Zhuge Liang's current official position, it is equivalent to taking charge of the country's financial expenditures in addition to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and a little oil and water can enrich a family.

A group of ex-Northern veterans looked at Zhuge Liang, who was so young and had such a great grace, and they were a little apprehensive, and many immediately objected, but now it is not the same as before. Zhuge Liang has worked hard for many years, and there are also a large number of people who support him, especially Pang Tong and Xu Shu, who had always been taboo, stood up to support Zhuge Liang, and immediately suppressed all dissatisfaction.

After the early dynasty ended, a group of people surrounded Zhuge Liang, all they said was that they hoped to arrange some of their own people to enter the central bank. One hundred baht, maybe officials can get one hundred thousand baht, which is more than several years of salary.

After Zhuge Liang managed to get away from the crowd and got into his carriage, he saw Pang Tong and Xu Shu sitting in it safely.

After the three of them were done, Zhuge Liang frowned and said, "My dear friends, why are you supporting Liang so openly today? It's not a good influence."

"Kong Ming doesn't need to worry, His Majesty ordered this. Without the support of the army and military commanders, your central bank will definitely be attacked and tempted from many sides," Xu Shu comforted.

"Your Majesty" Zhuge Liang immediately showed deep gratitude.

Pang Tong grinned and said with a teasing smile: "Kong Ming, you have become the richest man in Dayan at this step. If you use a little tricks, your Zhuge family will be safe forever."

"Shiyuan, don't make jokes. Kong Ming's burden is getting heavier and heavier. Shangshutai is fine, but the central bank is a clear oil and water department. As long as it goes in, the officials inside will probably be wooed by businessmen from all over the place." Xu Shu Some worried.

Zhuge Liang said solemnly: "No matter what other people think, my whole life, Zhuge Kongming, is for Your Majesty, for Daxi, the Central Bank is responsible for the prosperity of the local economy and the improvement of the per capita income of the people, and I will not let anyone dare to do anything here. There will never be a good end for him.”

"Kong Ming, if you need help, you can tell us," Pang Tong said with a smile.

Zhuge Liang's eyes showed gratitude, and said: "Thank you two dear friends, why don't you go back to the house and discuss it together?"

"I'll go to my place today, and soon Kong Ming's mansion will be a hundred times more lively than before," Pang Tong suggested.

When it was almost dusk, Zhuge Liang returned to his mansion. Just as he got out of the carriage, he saw his wife Huang Yueying standing outside worryingly.

"Husband, you are back!" Huang Yueying immediately worried.

"What happened?" Zhuge Liang said softly.

"Since this afternoon, for some reason, a large number of officials have sent gifts to our mansion. My family has calculated that there are millions of baht in total. Is it because of the central bank you mentioned last night?" Huang Yueying asked anxiously.

Zhuge Liang smiled coldly, and comforted him: "Don't worry, send them all back intact, and let Gong Yan come over, the central bank must have its own independent institution similar to the Metropolitan Procuratorate to strictly prevent corruption, bright Tomorrow morning, I will play His Majesty, breaking their minds."
