Li Zhuo was very excited. He had never been so excited since he ascended the throne!
Lu Chen’s meaning was very clear. Once the currency could be truly promoted in the surrounding areas, he would be the de facto ruler of the world!
He accomplished the legacy that neither Taizong nor Taizu could accomplish. He suddenly felt an urge to go down to meet his ancestors and brag about himself in front of them.
The heads of the six ministries and even the civil servants in the entire court were quite excited!
What is this? This is helping the country expand its territory without spending a single soldier!
Isn’t this the highest pursuit of Confucianists?
If they could really achieve this, these civil officials could use the posthumous title of military governor after their death. What an honor this would be. I dare not say that there would be no one like him in the future, but it is definitely unprecedented!
Lu Chen had made it very clear. This was a huge plan that required the concerted efforts of all officials from the six ministries to complete, which meant that everyone could participate.
When the civil servants thought about the scene of all nations coming to pay tribute in the future, when they thought about themselves becoming ministers of the Celestial Empire in the future, when they thought about being old with their grandchildren around them and being able to brag about this, their blood boiled!
Issue paper money! They must fucking issue paper money!
To strengthen the army, we must strengthen the army!
The generals were also very excited. After so many years, they finally didn't have to be timid and submissive. They could finally ask for money, people and weapons openly!
Wei Yong stood aside, trembling as he looked at the fanatical civil and military officials in the court. Even though he was fearless, he should not raise any objections at this moment.
He had just clearly seen that the expressions of several imperial censors under him had become extremely fanatical.
Wei Yong sighed in his heart, feeling that after Lu Chen went to Yangzhou, his ability to inspire people became even stronger than before. How did he grow into this?
But as the Imperial Censor, Wei Yong felt that he had to say something after all.
So he spoke again, "Now that we have specific regulations, let's implement them. However, this is no small matter. I require at least five imperial censors to be stationed at the Central Bank to oversee its daily operations."
As soon as these words were spoken, all the imperial censors almost knelt down before Wei Yong. Their boss had finally come to his senses and realized how to seek benefits for his subordinates!
Wei Yong originally thought that Lu Chen would have a good argument with him over this matter.
Unexpectedly, Lu Chen nodded and agreed immediately. "No problem. The Central Bank has a heavy responsibility, and I'm also planning to set up an internal inspection system. Since Lord Wei is willing to send some young and promising censors, that's even better. Let them and some of the Jinyiwei form a joint law enforcement department!"
"Since these departments are all established to serve the Central Bank, the Ministry of Revenue can no longer pay for them. From now on, their food and wages will be provided by the Central Bank itself. This will also reduce the pressure on the national treasury."
What a good man! What a good man!
Liang Licang looked at Lu Chen, so excited that he didn't know what to say.
Li Zhuo was also in high spirits, patting his thigh and saying, "Well, well, since all of you, my dear ministers, think this is feasible, then let's proceed according to the rules. I hope for a good outcome."
Lu Chen smiled confidently and said, "Your Majesty, please rest assured. I will give you a satisfactory answer by the end of this year at the latest. I will definitely let you have a comfortable new year."
Lu Chen's last sentence can be said to be quite meaningful. After returning to the harem, Li Zhuo kept thinking about it.
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that this sentence was very meaningful. Maybe Lu Chen could really give him a big surprise at the end of the year.
"Hua Bule, tell me, are all the civil and military officials in this court so useless, or is it that Lu Chen is such a monster? Why is it that no matter what you give him, he always does it perfectly. The word 'perfect' can't even be used to describe it, he always gives me unexpected surprises."
Hua Bule, who was carefully serving beside him, smiled and said, "The Imperial Preceptor is naturally an extraordinary person, but in the end, it is because Your Majesty is blessed with great fortune and your benevolence has moved the heavens, so they sent the Imperial Preceptor to assist you."
"Great, Huabule! When did you learn to flatter like this? You're really becoming more and more promising!" Before Huabule could apologize, Li Zhuo's eyes were filled with hope as he said, "Actually, I'm not greedy at all. Even if only 30% or 40% of the future that the Imperial Master has described to me can be realized, I'll be satisfied. The days of our Great Qi will never be the same."
Thinking of the future scenes described by Lu Chen, Hua Bule couldn't help but sigh in emotion: "Yes, if it can really be as the National Master said, then our Great Qi will truly be a paradise on earth, and Your Majesty will definitely be a wise and benevolent ruler unprecedented and unparalleled."
After saying this, both the master and servant couldn't help but reveal a longing smile on their faces. If Lu Chen saw their expressions in this place, he would definitely clap and laugh.
On the importance of storytelling and PPT in the process of seeking investment.
Good times are always short-lived. Just as the master and servant were enjoying this peaceful and beautiful time, a young eunuch ran in and said, "Your Majesty, the Empress is here, and she's crying!"
Upon hearing this, Li Zhuo's good mood of the whole day disappeared instantly.
Before he could say anything, the queen's crying could be heard from outside.
Soon, Queen Qiao came to Li Zhuo crying and said, "Your Majesty, please make the decision for me!"
Li Zhuo couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. Today was all good news and he was in a very good mood. Couldn't he be happy all day long?
"What is the Queen doing? What happened? Is there anyone in this palace who can embarrass you?"
"Your Majesty, several princesses came to see you today. I originally thought they were just bored and came to chat with me. But who would have thought that they would start crying while chatting, saying that their family was bullied and now they can't even afford to pay the compensation."
"I asked around and found out that they owed the Imperial Master money, and he came to their house a while ago."
"They begged me, saying that our family had business dealings with the Imperial Master and that we were all related, so they had to help them no matter what. I was about to refuse, but they accused me of being a fool."
"I feel really bad. That money didn't go into our pockets, so why should we be blamed for it?"
"Your Majesty, why don't you tell the Imperial Master to forgive others when you can? Why does he want so much money all the time? Isn't he afraid of being stuffed to death? I haven't seen him spend it anywhere. Could it be that he is a Pixiu? He only takes in and never gives out?"
"You bastard, who are you calling the Pixiu?"
