Chapter 7 Chen Yi's method is really good
"Okay! Zhang Shilang has this awareness, and he is worthy of being a pillar of my great martial arts!"
Before Wang Shoufu could react, the empress slapped the armrest of the dragon chair and said excitedly.
"Your Majesty, I suggest that an enlightened pillar like Zhang Shilang should be promoted to the rank of title, so as to reward his loyalty to the emperor and serve the country!"
After thinking about it, Chen Yi hit the railway while it was hot.
In the Great Wu Dynasty, not only military officials implemented a title system, but even civilian officials had a corresponding title system.
Unlike military attachés, civil service titles are relatively difficult to obtain, and many civil servants rack their brains to get promoted in the title.
The empress's eyes lit up, and said immediately.
"Wang Shoufu, where is the official secretary?"
"Yi, Zhang Shilang has entered the fifth grade Fengyilang!"
"In addition, Chen Yijinjue's fourth-rank Wen Shenglang! He is fully responsible for the establishment of the Imperial Bank, related regulations, and the drafting of rules and regulations! Officials from all ministries will cooperate unconditionally!"
Due to the title system of the Wu Dynasty, civil servants were not allowed to be promoted unless they had outstanding political achievements and political contributions. Therefore, the title of civil servants had relatively high gold content.
As soon as he heard that this servant who was originally only a sixth-rank Chengbu Lang, he was promoted to a higher level for no reason just because he was the first to speak out in support of the Imperial Bank.
Some rich and powerful family officials couldn't hold back immediately, and came forward to second the proposal one after another.
"This empress still has some cunning and decisiveness. Could it be that I was wrong before?"
Boldly staring at the empress's beautiful face for a moment, Chen Yi, who had skipped two ranks of nobility for no reason, suddenly had an absurd idea in his mind.
You must know that the titles of civil servants are not like military officers, except that they are noble and sound good. They do not have actual corresponding rewards.
While Chen Yi was looking at the Empress, Xu Wanjun and other sensitive ministers turned their heads to look at Chen Yi.
A thought could not help but pop up in his mind at the same time—Chen Yi, how can he have such superb political skills?
Wang Shoufu looked at Chen Yi's handsome side face, his face was flushed, and he kept muttering in a low voice: "This is a pillar of the society! This old man has successors!"
With the cooperation and support of the empress, the matter of the imperial bank was pushed out in the court without any resistance.
With the full support of the governor of the imperial capital, the Ministry of Industry, and the Ministry of Household Affairs, the three imperial banks in the imperial capital have just opened their doors, and they have absorbed more than 100 million taels of silver in just one day!
Not only officials from aristocratic families actively participated, but even those usually cautious merchants couldn't help but deposit money into the bank after learning that the person overseeing the bank was the increasingly famous Chen Yi.
……
"Damn, how many boxes of 10 taels of silver did I get in exchange for such a stack of thin paper?!"
On Wenxiang Street, the busiest place in the imperial capital, at the gate of a newly opened imperial bank, a thin, plainly dressed businessman grinned and looked carefully at the stack of bills in his hand in the sunlight.
"What's the matter? Brother Chen, I hear you mean that you regret it?"
A paunchy and luxuriously dressed businessman passing by beside him stopped and teased.
"regret?"
The merchant surnamed Chen flicked the well-made bills in his hand to show off at him, grinned and cursed: "I regret it!"
"Let's not say that our imperial bank is behind our empress and the king's chief assistant, but who is in charge of organizing this bank?
It was presided over by Chen Shilang, who risked his life to remonstrate!Does Chen Shilang know?That character, that heart, that responsibility..."
Just when the merchant surnamed Chen was touting it vigorously, the fat merchant smiled disdainfully, and directly exposed his old background:
"Come on, if others don't know you, Chen Tie, how can I not know?
Let you, a person who usually picks up tofu when it falls on the ground, washes and eats it, spend 20 real money for no reason.That's harder than climbing to the sky!
Don't you just grit your teeth to save money because you see that behind the bank is the guarantee of our Dawu Dynasty, plus one tael of silver a year for doing nothing, and there will be thirty cash in interest? "
The merchant surnamed Chen blushed, and was a little speechless. He hesitated for a long time, and then said angrily: "Aren't you also here for the interest money?"
The fat merchant smiled slyly, and patted the merchant surnamed Chen on the shoulder: "Brother, my brother advises you to look further. For example, think about it, after the bank is completely spread in the country, you can go to Sichuan to do business. Do you still need to carry so much gold and silver, worrying about robbers all day long?"
The merchant surnamed Chen was taken aback for a moment, and his eyes lit up instantly.
"Come on, I don't want to think about that for the time being. Today, my brother treats guests, and Wenxianglou is walking! Congratulations to our Dawu Dynasty for another Wenqu star who wholeheartedly cares for us ordinary people!"
The fat merchant waved his hand proudly.
"Eh...Brother Liu, let's forget about it for now. Let's remember this meal for now, how about we talk about it later?"
The merchant surnamed Chen swallowed and hesitated.
"how?"
"I have a few good families in Songzhou and Chuzhou on Huainan Road. I'm afraid I don't know the news yet. I have to send someone to send a letter to them..."
The merchant surnamed Chen smiled embarrassedly.
"Haha! You! Then remember it for now, and I will invite you later!"
The fat merchant was stunned for a moment, and then smiled freely.
……
At a tea stand in front of the Qianzhuang, two plainly dressed and extraordinary-looking people looked away from the fat and thin merchants at the same time.
"Chen Shilang, it seems that your Imperial Bank's methods are really great! Brother Yu, for the time being, on behalf of the millions of victims of the disaster in Longxi, thank the minister for his help in surviving!"
On the left side of the dirty table, Xu Wanjun, who had been staring at the gate of the bank all morning, his eyes were red with excitement, bowed solemnly to Chen Yi.
After these few days of getting along, Chen Yi had almost figured out his temperament, and immediately accepted his gift frankly.
After thinking for a while, Chen Yi said, "Brother Xu, how many years older are you than me? When we get along in the future, just call me Zishang."
In this day and age, when friends get along, they usually call each other by name.
Chen Yi told Xu Wanjun his name, in fact, he accepted Xu Wanjun as his first friend in this world.
"Brother Zi Shangxian!"
Xu Wanjun got excited and immediately shouted.
"It's polite to call me brother!"
Looking at the direction of the imperial city, Chen Yi, who smiled lightly, suddenly remembered something.
"You call me brother, Brother Yu thinks that the most urgent thing is that you should transfer the money from the bank as soon as possible, go to various places to buy grain as soon as possible, and transport it back to Longxi for disaster relief!"
"what?"
Xu Wanjun was stunned for a moment, and then a little embarrassed.
"Zi Shang thinks that His Majesty might use the bank's money for... alchemy?"
Chen Yi was noncommittal: "Didn't Your Majesty entrust the full power of disaster relief to Brother Zicheng? Millions of disaster victims in Longxi are all waiting for this money!"
"This……"
