"Your Majesty is wise." Xu Wenshu said sincerely.
I have to say that after following His Majesty for so many years, His Majesty has never changed in his ability to accept advice.
Although there is a god-level flatterer around him, he still keeps a clear head.
But it’s a good thing that this flatterer doesn’t have any bad intentions.
Emperor Jing said calmly: "It's not that I'm wise. Facing an unprecedented situation, I'm not the only one who's afraid of you. I also have doubts in my heart."
"The opening of the exchange has already caused a lot of changes. Huge amounts of gold and silver are being traded on the market. If we take a wrong step, we don't know what kind of drastic changes will be caused."
"The entry of wealthy families is already shocking enough. Now that Jingxing Bank is established, countless ordinary people will be involved."
"In terms of war, I am confident that I am as good as anyone in my lifetime, but in terms of economics, we are far behind."
"So even if the current situation is good, I dare not relax even a little. These things were all proposed by Fang Zhengyi. Although he is good at this, he also told me frankly that he does not have a thorough understanding of the rules and is not capable of fully grasping them. This matter requires the wisdom of everyone to prevent the two from going out of control."
"As the founder, he said so. The imperial court must intervene in the money houses. You should immediately arrange for someone to do this. Does the Ministry of Revenue have enough manpower right now?"
Xu Wenshu was overjoyed!
I thought I would have to spend more time talking today, but I didn't expect Fang Zhengyi had already convinced His Majesty in advance.
However, when it comes to manpower, Xu Wenshu is a little troubled.
"The complexity of the work of the exchange is far beyond imagination, and the Ministry of Revenue does not have a deep understanding of it, so the manpower that the Ministry of Revenue can mobilize is limited. The charter of Jingxing Bank has also been carefully examined. In terms of complexity, it is probably not inferior to the exchange. The Ministry of Revenue is probably short of manpower."
"However, if we can transfer five people from Dongjiao University to serve as assistants to the Ministry of Revenue, it should be enough."
"Well, do you need Dongjiao University again..." Emperor Jing thought, "Okay, you go to Fang Zhengyi to ask for someone, and the Ministry of Ceremonies will send you a eunuch to go with you. Report the progress of the bank in real time."
"I think half a year should be enough to sort out the clues. Then you can come up with a complete set of rules for me to discuss at the court."
"I obey your order." Xu Wenshu agreed quickly.
Your Majesty has sent a eunuch from the Imperial Household Department to take charge of the matter, which shows how seriously you take this matter.
There are only a few eunuchs who hold responsibilities, and each of them is extremely powerful. Although it is inevitable that it will be a bit unpleasant to work with eunuchs.
But there is no way around it... After all, the charters of the exchange and Jingxing Bank are made by the Ministry of Revenue, and no one can trust it.
Your Majesty is monitoring it, so it seems we need to be extra cautious in the follow-up.
At this moment, a eunuch delivering a message walked quickly into the hall.
He immediately said, "Your Majesty, the Ministry of War has reported that Lai Gou'er, the overseas military officer stationed in Feika, has returned. He has sent an advance fleet to report back to Dajing."
Emperor Jing's eyes fixed: "What happened?"
The eunuch said, "The Ministry of War reported that the current situation is stable for now, but the overseas situation may change. Lord Lai is preparing to return to the capital to report in person."
Emperor Jing's eyes were as clear as water, and no one knew what he was thinking.
Seeing that the eunuch was still standing there, he waved his hand and said, "Got it, go down."
Xu Wenshu also felt a little uneasy when he saw this: "Since Your Majesty is busy, I will take my leave."
......
"Your Highness, Lai Gou'er is coming back."
In the public house of the Zhenfu Division, Li Yuanzhao and Fang Zhengyi sat opposite each other.
Li Yuanzhao's hair was a little messy and he looked absent-minded.
"Ah, come back if you want, what's the problem? After so many years overseas, can't you go home and have some dumplings?"
Fang Zheng gave him a look of disdain.
I don't know what this kid has been busy with recently. He's not seen all day, and when I sit opposite him, I can vaguely smell the smell of chicken manure in the air.
You're not raising chickens yourself just for fast food, are you?
This is so stupid!
"Why are you looking at me? Could something big have happened overseas?" Li Yuanzhao came back to his senses and said excitedly.
"That's not the case. If something serious had really happened, I'm afraid the report would have been an urgent one." Fang Zheng said, "His Majesty just summoned me to discuss this matter."
"There is limited news from the court right now. I don't know when Lai Gou'er will return home. But His Majesty did mention you. I haven't seen you all day. You don't come back to the palace for a day."
"It is a big deal for Lai Gou'er to return to the court. Don't be absent when the time comes. If His Majesty punishes you, don't blame me."
Li Yuanzhao waved his hands and said indifferently: "I know, I know."
"What's the big deal? What I'm doing now is the big deal! It just so happens that you asked me to come today. Please write me a note and ask me to help me recruit a few people to Taoyuan Clinic. We must have Wang Meng. I think that guy is very capable and a great talent."
"Your Highness, aren't you running a fast food business? How are you involved with the clinic again?" Fang Zhengyi said speechlessly.
This kid's thoughts are jumping around so fast that he can hardly keep up.
Can Wang Meng be transferred at will? He is now the famous number one figure in Taoyuan Medical Clinic.
A famous penicillin doctor in the capital...numerous people come to him for medical treatment and medicine.
But every time he thought about this, he felt a little depressed, because he was obviously the inventor of penicillin.
As a result, Wang Meng has now become a miracle doctor, but he is also a murderer in urban legends...
Li Yuanzhao said mysteriously: "Don't ask me any more questions. I have a good idea! Give me a few months and I guarantee that the restaurant will be successfully opened."
.....
Two months later, Jiangling Port.
A dark-skinned man walked down from the boat, surrounded by a group of sailors.
The eunuch who had been waiting at the port for a long time saw the official uniform of the visitor and immediately went to greet him.
With a smile on his face, he said, "May I ask if you are Lord Lai?"
Lai Gou'er was looking around and saw the eunuch Wenhua was stunned for a moment. He smiled and said, "Yes, eunuch, are you from the palace?"
"That's right! I have been sent here to wait for you. The palace said that if you return, you must come to the palace to see him immediately. His Majesty is worried about you. Lord Lai, shall we return to the capital now?"
Lai Gouer looked at the sky and then looked at the scenery around the port.
Familiar memories came to my mind at this moment.
He took a deep breath and said firmly: "Excuse me, eunuch. Since His Majesty takes it seriously, let's go back to the palace without further delay!"
