The World Bank and the International Monetary Fund are what Lu Chen has always wanted to establish.
With these two things, he could easily reap the wealth of the surrounding countries and use it to improve the living standards of the people of Da Qi.
However, although Da Qi had already entered the fast lane of development, its fist was not strong enough, and it had not yet made the neighboring countries dare not even fart, so if it wanted to use finance to reap the benefits of the other party, it would have to postpone it for a while.
Now that the Liao and Jin dynasties had been beaten into a panic by two brilliant battles, Lu Chen felt that the relevant plans could be put on the agenda.
When he told Li Zhuo about this plan, Li Zhuo was simply astonished!
Li Zhuo didn't understand the more complicated operations. Lu Chen talked for two hours with a dry mouth, and Li Zhuo only remembered one sentence.
Once these two organizations are established, they can make money without doing anything.
By then, a wave of Da Qi currency tide will be able to reap huge wealth. What an amazing thing it will be!
Therefore, Li Zhuo made such a request to the envoys of Western Xia without discussing it with the court officials.
The envoys from Western Xia felt that since Li Yingxiao had even agreed to station troops in the concession, joining the World Bank should not be a difficult matter.
So he bowed and said that he could report the matter to Li Yingxiao, and hoped that the two sides could continue to be friendly.
Setting up this organization is a long and arduous process. Neither Li Zhuo nor Lu Chen thought that such a thing could be accomplished overnight.
Even if Li Yingxiao really expressed his intention to join, subsequent consultations and coordination would be necessary.
Li Zhuo and Lu Chen do not need to personally deal with these matters. Zhao Gongming from the Central Bank will naturally send people to handle everything.
Now Li Zhuo is most interested in building the garden, and Lu Chen is most interested in building the city wall.
"I don't care what Bazhou City looked like before. Now that the project has been taken over by our Chinese Academy of Sciences, this time Bazhou City must be built taller and bigger!"
"Not enough space? Then dig outwards and expand it!"
"Not enough materials? I'll write to the six ministries right away. I want to ask them why they're dragging their feet. Are they trying to hinder the construction of the empire?"
"Let's get those merchants down there to take initiative. With so many houses still under construction, shouldn't they be tempted? Why don't they just spend the money and buy one or two shops?"
"What? You said you haven't even seen the shadow of the house, so why are you asking for money now? That's a good question. I wanted to ask the developer the same question back then."
After giving a flurry of orders at the city wall and finally being sent off enthusiastically by the crowd, Lu Chen turned to Mu Ping beside him and said, "The city wall needs to be built, and the staff quarters can't be slack either. It's time to turn on the heating, as we don't need that little bit of coal money."
"Also, are our meals provided on time? They're all doing heavy physical labor, so we can't let them down. We're not like those Zhou Paopi gangs who eat people without leaving any bones. We not only need enough food, but we also need to eat well."
"Are you pure? Didn't I ask you to pickle all those war horses that were burned earlier? Take them out now!"
"How can you say it's immoral? That's premium horse meat. Look, the military is making extra money, we're saving on labor costs, and the workers are getting to eat real meat. Isn't that a win-win for all?"
"What's wrong with horse meat? Horse meat is a good thing! You are still too naive. If you knew that someone would sell rat meat as duck meat in the future, you wouldn't have this expression now."
While eating the horse meat in his hand, Lu Chen couldn't help but sigh that the people in this world were so simple.
Mou Ping really wanted to tell Lu Chen that even if he didn't give these benefits, more and more refugees were running towards Bazhou City.
Now the whole Da Qi knows that there is work to be done and food to eat in Bazhou City, and the imperial court also provides shelter from the wind and snow.
What makes some farmers who have lost their land even more excited is that Bazhou City is now about to start reconstruction. Anyone who comes to participate in the construction and chooses to stay in the future will be able to obtain their own land.
In this era, owning a piece of land of your own is like being reborn.
So while the weather was not yet so cold that it was unbearable, anyone who could still move gritted their teeth and ran towards Bazhou City. Zhaocai was one of such people.
At the age of fourteen, he had a name similar to that of a cat or dog, and he was still thin and small.
But in this era, fourteen years old is considered an adult and can get married.
A drought in the first half of this year caused their family to lose their land, and their parents fell ill and died while they were begging.
As the weather got colder and there were fewer and fewer companions around him, Zhaocai felt that he might not survive this winter.
Occasionally, when he huddled in a corner and shivered, Zhaocai felt that it didn't matter if he died, and he wouldn't have to suffer anymore.
Anyway, his parents are gone, and he has nothing to be attached to in this world.
But he heard that if he went north to Bazhou City, he would be able to find a job, sleep in a warm place in the winter, and have hot food to eat.
It was not until this time that Zhaocai realized that he actually did not want to die. Even though living was already very hard and undignified, he still wanted to see more of this world, this damn world.
So he packed up his meager belongings, a few thousand yuan and a thin quilt, and set off with the main force.
