238 Misunderstanding
Hu Guang turned his head and told Wang Chengen beside him that he said. After Wang Chengen turned around and left, he said to Xu Guangqi: "The knowledge of the Western Yi can indeed make up for the shortcomings of the Ming Dynasty. I don't have much time and have only compiled some content about arithmetic. You will take it to see it. If you don't understand something, write a memorial for me after summarizing it, and I will give you an answer. I hope that your students and your students can make a difference in this area!"
Arabic numerals should be promoted and the writing method should be changed, otherwise the implementation of mathematics, physics and chemistry would be empty talk. And these should be proposed by ministers like Xu Guangqi and then supported by themselves.
Regarding this matter, Xu Guangqi naturally agreed and left Beijing in a mixed sense, and no longer cared about the ruins of Chau Wang and others.
In the afternoon, there were a long list of carriages parked in Xuanfu City and at the gate of Fanfu. After counting, there were seven cars in total.
In the palace hall, Fan Yongdou sat in the main seat, looking at the other seven people with a serious expression, saying the situation he had grasped, and finally slapped the table and said firmly: "Everyone, this is the situation. Fan thought that in case of precautions, the grain that was already in Zhangjiakou should be sent to Liaodong immediately. Other grains should also be transported to Zhangjiakou in a hurry. Are there any questions about this?"
The others looked at each other and were about to say something, suddenly the door in the meeting hall was pushed open, and the biting cold wind swept in, making the people inside tremble.
As the master, Fan Yongdou's face suddenly turned black. What's wrong with the butler? He was so panicked here!
When he was about to scold, he saw the housekeeper bow to the others, then quickly approach Fan Yongdou, and whispered: "A man from Shanhaiguan came and ran a horse to death, saying that last night, Sun Chengzong had ordered the Guanning army to go out to inspect the grasslands and arrest any caravans..."
"What?" Fan Yongdou was surprised when he heard this. How could this be possible? He immediately asked, "What else?"
"There is still unconfirmed news that the son of Dajin Dahan, Bellhaug, has led a thousand cavalrymen over."
Fan Yongdou naturally knew that the contact with Shanhaiguan was only verbal, so he waved his hand and asked the butler to retreat after hearing this.
When the others saw Fan Yongdou's face changed drastically after whispering, they looked down and thoughtful, they couldn't help but feel a little nervous and asked, "Brother Fan, what's wrong?"
"Brother Fan, if you have any questions, let's discuss and solve them together!"
“…”
After hearing this, Fan Yongdou looked up at them, briefly explained the situation, and then said, "The risk of delivering food is too high at this time. I won't give it to you for the time being. What do you think?"
"It's best to transport all the food first, and then transport it away at once." Wang Dengku responded with a smile.
But Jin Liangyu felt something was wrong. He said to Fan Yongdou: "In the past, except for the Ming army in Yulin who might go out of seclusion and go to the grassland, there has never been any other place. This is strange!"
Fan Yongdou nodded after hearing this, frowned and said, "From the news, it seems that Dajin has leaked the news. Otherwise, it would be impossible to know that Haugebele is coming, and the number of people has been determined."
"It's good that this is the case. Just let Mr. Beile take away the food himself, which will save us a lot of effort!" Huang Yunfa said indifferently.
Fan Yongdou did not agree immediately, listening to the other people talking. After a while, he said with a serious expression: "We must prevent the risks before. We will give up another 10% of the profits and put them in the name of Lord Zhongcheng. In this way, even if the new general arrives, if we do not cooperate, we will not dare to be rude to Lord Zhongcheng! Is that good?"
When the business reaches their level, the risks must be considered. Although they have to give up 10% of the profit, they can be insured and can further narrow their relationship with the governor of the Xuanfu. After these big Shanxi merchants made some calculations in their minds, they all agreed.
Hu Guang, who was far away in the capital, naturally did not expect to accidentally leave the food in the pass. At this time, he finally heard the news that he had always wanted to hear: the Bai Gan Army could arrive in the capital on the morning of the third day of the Lunar New Year.
After thinking for a while, Hu Guang secretly summoned Han Shengcai and Hu Zhengyan. Looking at the reserved two people, he smiled and said to Hu Zhengyan: "The Ming Dynasty banknote has been used for more than 400,000 taels, and it has not been exchanged for silver. It is a good start. However, the previous Ming Dynasty banknotes have defects, so don't use this version!"
Hu Zhengyan was a little stunned when he heard this. The banknotes cost him a lot of effort and carefully checked them before printing. He was a little confused and bowed to ask for instructions: "I don't know what the flaws are, please tell your Majesty!"
When Han Sheng heard this, he realized that the person next to him was the one who printed such exquisite paper money, and he couldn't help but admire him.
While Hu Guang asked Wang Chengen, the fourth person in the hall, to hand over the samples from the imperial case to Hu Zhengyan, he said to him: "I still have to print the legal yamen name of the Ming Dynasty banknotes!"
"The Central Bank of the Ming Dynasty!" Hu Zhengyan took the sample and looked at it, and couldn't help but recite it.
Hu Guang nodded with a smile and said, "Yes, the Central Bank of the Ming Dynasty! I will issue an order soon, and I will be appointed as the first president of the Central Bank of the Ming Dynasty and the director of the Money Printing Department. It is a fifth-rank rank and directly under the cabinet."
Speaking of this, he turned to look at Han Shengcai and said, "Han Qing is the deputy governor of the Central Bank of the Ming Dynasty and the director of the Finance Department, and is from the fifth grade. He mainly analyzes and studies the financial situation of the Ming Dynasty, controls the circulation of paper money, and controls financial risks."
Seeing their confused look on their faces, Hu Guang explained their respective functions in detail to them. Originally, according to their expertise, Han Sheng was the right candidate to be the president because he had a more thorough understanding of finance, but he was helpless.
Hu Zhengyan was a juren, and when he mentioned the position of the top leader, he could be recognized by the officialdom more. However, he was proficient in printing technology and would devote more energy to the innovation of printing technology and anti-counterfeiting.
This arrangement was overjoyed for Han Shengcai. However, before Hu Guang finished speaking, "Cao Huachun, the admiral of the East Factory, rushed to Suzhou early yesterday morning, and your brothers will be fine. When I look back, I will meet him. If as you said, I plan to appoint him as the first president of the Ming Construction Bank..."
Hu Guang knew that they couldn't understand, so he roughly explained the structure operation and other contents, which opened his eyes and also made Han Shengcai very happy.
After Hu Zhengyan stepped down first, Hu Guang suddenly said to Han Sheng seriously: "We are going to do it soon. I need Han Qing to set off with the army and point out all the places where they hide their supplies. Can we do it?"
