Late at night, in the Heart-Surviving Hall of the Daming Palace, Yuan Xi suddenly sighed, as if his heart was filled with blood was extinguished by a bottle of cold water.

"Your Majesty, there is no problem with printing, but the construction of the banknotes is based on the quality of the banknotes and the anti-counterfeiting logo. This is not a book. Everything is very complicated. At present, the printing of Tiangong Academy is all handmade and cannot be achieved in such a large-scale production required across the country. According to my estimate, this difficulty may not be overcome within a few years." Ma Jun's voice echoed.

Thinking of this, Yuan Xi smiled bitterly. He was still too highly of the productivity of this era. Without machines and electricity, paper money could not be effectively produced, and banknotes could not be popularized. The meaning of banks was not much, because the country could not mint so many Wuzhu coins to borrow money.

"Your Majesty, although the technology cannot be at that point at present, at least our dynasty has this idea. If your Majesty cannot do it, it will be handed over to the next generation. Your Majesty has already accomplished too much." Zhuge Liang whispered to comfort him in a low voice. Yuan Xi was only thirty years old and unified the world, and conquered Goguryeo, settled the four Hans, and pacified the three tribes. Even the overseas Japanese countries were wiped out. His great achievements have been one person forever.

But even if it is a man of all ages, he is not a god. Many things cannot be made up in one cluster.

Yuan Xi nodded slightly. This is governing the country. Even if there is a new generation of ideas, it must be subject to contemporary technology.

"I may be too anxious. I am filing and registering. I will see if there is any chance to perform it in the future. First, according to your method, set up banks in the prefectures of each state in our provinces, with the central bank as the main one, and you will also serve as the first president of the central bank. From today on, the right to mint coins will be separated from the Shangshu and handed over to the central bank. This can be regarded as feeling the stones across the river, laying a solid foundation first, and reserving talents in this area," Yuan Xi ordered.

Zhuge Liang was shocked when he heard this and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, the Central Bank is an extraordinary department. I guess I don't have enough qualifications. It's better to let the Zuo Prime Minister and the Secretary of the State Council take charge of the two adults. I'm responsible for assisting."

"Your qualifications are long enough. You have managed the Shangshu Desk properly. The central bank is nothing to you. Besides, you need to stand alone," Yuan Xi waved.

"But Your Majesty, I am still in charge of the Ministry of Revenue under the Shangshu Desk, so" Zhuge Liang was somewhat worried, because in this way, the entire Daxi financial situation was under his control.

"It's really because of this that you are the most suitable. If the central bank cannot be linked to the treasury, how can you control the number of loans?" Yuan Xi said softly.

"But"

"No need, but when the central bank stabilizes, it will separate from the treasury and form a unit on its own," Yuan Xi comforted.

Hearing this, Zhuge Liang breathed a sigh of relief, clasped his fists and said, "I obey the order."

"Although the scale is much smaller, it is easy to control and may be more effective. You have to work hard," Yuan Xi said with a smile.

"promise!"

"By the way, Kong Ming, your contribution is no less than that of the Right Prime Minister. I can't live without you for a day, but this time this founding ceremony, I can only give you a marquis. You are not dissatisfied with it!" Yuan Xi said softly.

"Your Majesty is serious. I have followed Your Majesty for less than four years and have been the chief minister of the Shangshu. Now I am the president of the Central Bank. I control the right to mint coins. This is an existence that others cannot look up to in their entire lives. Not to mention a marquis, even if they do not have a title, I am grateful to Your Majesty." Zhuge Liang immediately said in panic.

"Haha" Yuan Xi smiled loudly and said, "Kong Ming, Gu can't give you too much reward for the time being, but Yueying can. Gu decided to appoint him as the first-rank lady of Daxi Zheng."

"Your Majesty" Zhuge Liang was shocked.

"No need to say much, just arrange it like this," Yuan Xi ordered.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Zhuge Liang's helpless politeness.

After Zhuge Liang left, Yuan Xi waved his hand gently and said to Zheng Chun: "Let Shi Yuan and Yuan come straight. The central bank has too much oil and water. I guess Kong Ming is under great pressure and needs their help."

"promise!"

.....

The next morning, Yuan Xi announced the establishment of the Central Bank and the order that Zhuge Liang would serve as the first president. When he understood the significance of the Central Bank, everyone was shocked, especially the right to mint coins, which was an extremely huge right. In addition to Zhuge Liang's current official position, it was equivalent to the fact that except for the Ministry of Internal Affairs, which was in charge of the national fiscal expenditure, a little bit of oil and water could enrich a family.

A group of former old ministers from the north looked at Zhuge Liang, who was so young and had such a heavy grace. Many immediately opposed it. However, now it is no longer as good as before. Zhuge Liang's years of efforts have also supported him, especially Pang Tong and Xu Shu, who have been avoiding the taboo, stood up and supported Zhuge Liang, and immediately suppressed all dissatisfaction.

After the morning court, a group of people surrounded Zhuge Liang, saying nothing more than hope to arrange some of their own people to enter the central bank. This is a very powerful place, and it can be loaned to people and merchants from all over the country. This amount can be large or small, and the loan can be 100,000 baht. Perhaps officials can get 100,000 baht, which is more than the salary for several years.

After Zhuge Liang finally got out of the crowd and got on his carriage, he saw Pang Tong and Xu Shu sitting safely inside.

After the three of them were done, Zhuge Liang frowned and said, "Two brothers, why do you support Liang so openly today? This has a bad impact."

"Kongming doesn't have to worry. This is what His Majesty ordered. Without the protection of the army and the military department, your central bank will definitely be attacked and tempted by many negative sides," Xu Shu comforted.

"Your Majesty" Zhuge Liang immediately showed deep gratitude.

Pang Tong grinned and said, "Kong Ming, you have become the richest man in my Dayan at this step. If you use some tricks, your Zhuge family will be worry-free forever."

"Shi Yuan, don't joke around. Kong Ming's burden is getting heavier and heavier now. The Shangshu Desk is fine, but the central bank is clearly in the oil and water department. As long as it goes in, the officials inside will be forced to win over by merchants from all over the country," Xu Shu said with some concern.

Zhuge Liang said seriously: "No matter what others think, my Zhuge Kongming's life is for His Majesty and Daxi. The Central Bank is responsible for prospering the economy in various places and increasing the per capita income of the people. I will not let anyone be arrogant and dare to take action here. Liang will never let him have a good ending."

"Kong Ming, if you need help, you can tell us," Pang Tong said with a smile.

Zhuge Liang's eyes showed gratitude and said, "Thank you, brothers, why not go home and discuss together."

"I'll go to my place today. I guess Kong Ming's mansion will soon be a hundred times more lively than before," Pang Tong suggested.

It was almost dusk, and Zhuge Liang returned to his mansion. As soon as he got out of the carriage, he saw his wife Huang Yueying standing outside worriedly.

"Husband, you are back," Huang Yueying immediately said worriedly.

"What happened?" Zhuge Liang said softly.

"From this afternoon, for some reason, a large number of officials have sent gifts to our mansion. I have calculated that it has a total of millions of baht. Is it because of the central bank you mentioned last night?" Huang Yueying said anxiously.

Zhuge Liang smiled coldly and comforted: "Don't worry, send it all back intact. In addition, let Gongyan come here. The central bank must have its own independent agency similar to the Censorate to strictly prevent corruption. Liang will report to His Majesty tomorrow morning, which will cut off their minds."
