Chapter 1010: Unexpected

Luoyang has returned to peace.

Pei Ju made full use of his old Luoyang people's advantages and rebuilt the entire Luoyang management system in a very short time. A large number of elite soldiers and powerful generals drawn from the Northland together with the students who graduated early from Wuwei Academy to enrich officials at all levels. These people have already gained a lot of experience in how to clean up the mess, and now they are just taking medicine according to the prescription.

For the common people, as long as the new winners do not start a big killing and give them a chance to survive, most people are honest like quails, and they will do whatever they say above and below.

As the canal transportation was reopened and the grain entered Luoyang, the people of Luoyang were basically settled. When Li Ze and others helped the coffin of the Supreme Emperor Li Yan enter Luoyang, Luoyang was already in order.

Markets began to enter normal tracks, and shops reopened, and merchants from the north and supply and marketing cooperatives filled the shops through various channels.

There was also a fireworks in the workshop. Orders from the official were handed over to the workshop owners. In order to enable them to open quickly, the government even paid a part of the deposit in advance. This was unimaginable in the past. In the past, except for some workshop owners with backgrounds, the rest of the government orders were not dared to accept. Because one was not good or one order could cause a workshop owner with low capital to go bankrupt.

There are many ways to rectify them, and it only depends on the mood of the government.

But the new government seems to be very different from the past. After paying a deposit in advance, it also handed over to the workshop owners a product compliance instruction. As long as these standards are met, the government will accept it as a full order.

These measures quickly brought Luoyang, the largest commercial city in the Tang Dynasty, to life. When the workshop owners had money, they could use it to buy raw materials and pay workers' wages. The workers who received the money could also use this money to buy the daily supplies they needed. Although the goods filled with shops were slow, they were still flowing into thousands of households bit by bit.

The orders handed over to these workshop owners are targeted, and each one requires a large number of people to work on it. For example, making cotton coats and shoes, making hats, gloves, making dry food, etc.

In addition to these, Luoyang strives to make everyone move.

Due to the war, Luoyang had a large number of houses that needed to be renovated, the streets needed to be cleaned, and a large number of goods entered Luoyang, requiring people to carry them. Men, women, young and old were mobilized by Pei Ju and new officials to work.

There is work to do and money to get it. Even if the cold wind whistles, everyone is still full of energy.

At the checkout day, I can go home with heavy copper coins every day. I can exchange these copper coins for food, sparse vegetables, even a few pickled cabbage and some hard salted fish, but they also make people have greater hope for tomorrow.

Of course, to do all this, you need to invest a lot of money in it.

But this time, the court did not invest money in it.

The one involved in this matter was a private money house, Xingda Money House.

The two main shareholders of Xingda Money House are Boxing Trading Company and Tongda Money House. After its establishment, they attracted dozens of large merchants from Beidi to invest, making Xingda Money House extremely strong.

Henan Governor Pei Ju borrowed loans from Xingda Money House, which set a precedent for the government to borrow from private Money House.

It's a loan, not a levy, nor is it a pleasure to donate.

Of course, Xingda Money House has the confidence to be the first to take the lead and lend to the government because its background is extremely strong. Behind Boxing Trading Company are Yelu Qi and others, there was originally only one Tang Ji behind Tongda Trading Company, but with the addition of Li Hai, Yuan Tan and others, their background should not be underestimated. What's more, among the shareholders of Xingda Money House, there are many former senior officials such as Gao Lei and Wang Duo. Although these people have retired, as people who have made more or less contributions in Li Ze's rise, these people have a very small political influence.

With these people endorsing, Xingda Money House is naturally not afraid of Pei Ju's debt.

Pei Ju also felt that he could afford it. When the imperial court could not afford the money and the loan interest of Wuwei Money House was a bit high, it would be natural to choose Xingda Money House. Now he just wants money to come in. When Luoyang fully recovers, the interest and cost of this impromptu is just a little drizzle. How much does the daily turnover of a few commercial markets in Luoyang have?

More importantly, Pei Ju also knew that the real hand behind the promotion of this matter was Xia He, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue. In the empty treasury, Xia He racked his brains to get money. The establishment of Xingda Money House was the result of her lobbying from multiple parties. Merchants are rich, but they always invest their funds in projects that take quick results and make quick money. They are generally not interested in projects that costly and slow results such as promoting the reconstruction of a place. And they are not able to afford it.

But it's different to put them together.

When everyone joins together, you can do things without any damage. As a long-term investment, an investment that is stable and profitable can also hedge against their projects with high returns but equally high risks.

These people hit it off.

Xia He is indeed forced to be a little anxious now.

Even though Luoyang Chang'an was quickly defeated, it is obvious that from a commercial perspective and a financial perspective, it is a loss-making transaction of ten to ten, but due to huge political gains, it has to be carried out. In the south, Xiangxun Group has launched a comprehensive attack to the north, and it requires money everywhere.

Xia He was impulsive and even prepared to start printing banknotes in advance.

The Ministry of Revenue has been investigating this matter for a long time. If they are allowed to print paper money, as long as they keep printing paper money, they can help her survive this period of crisis, but this plan was ruthlessly rejected by Li Ze.

Now, it is far from when it is possible to issue banknotes entirely on credit.

Once you lose your credit, if you give up halfway and make a mistake, and want to implement it in the future, it will be a big trouble. So Li Ze will never allow this matter to take place until you are completely sure.

Helpless Xia He finally made up her mind to the rich businessmen, and in fact, she also succeeded.

This is a win-win outcome.

Li Ze was also very satisfied.

As for Henan Governor Pei Ju, who will bear heavy debts for a long time, in Li Ze's opinion, what's the matter? As long as he does not fall and the court does not collapse, there is no need to worry about these debts. You can always think of ways to repay them. Think about the places in later generations and the governments in which place are not carrying large debts that ordinary people can't afford to see?

It doesn’t matter if the debt is within the allowable range and can ensure normal operating order.

Sometimes eating food for the Yin Dynasty is not necessarily a derogatory term.

In prosperous places such as Wuyi and Zhenzhou, haven’t the real estate developers who have built houses been doing this for a long time? After paying a sum of money, you can first move into the house, and then have a fixed amount of money every month. After a few years, the house will be completely owned by you.

This is also an acceptable thing for those who want to purchase property in Wuyi Zhenzhou and other places.

Now Wuyi, Zhenzhou is already overcrowded, and it is even more difficult to obtain household loans from these two places, but buying a house is an important one.

After Pei Ju accompanied him to inspect several canal terminals and some markets in Luoyang, Li Ze felt very satisfied. Although it was far from comparable to when he came to Luoyang, these places already had a strong sense of fireworks. As long as it continues to operate normally, it will not take long for Luoyang to have the ability to make a self-produce. After all, as a commercial center, its recovery speed will be faster than other places.

"Li Xiang, news comes from Tongguan!" Chen Wenliang hurriedly grabbed several hot-clad letters and handed them to Li Ze.

Among these letters, not only You Yong, but also Gao Xiangsheng.

Li Ze was slightly stunned and opened Gao Xiangsheng's first.

Gao Xiangsheng has been in Chang'an City, and Chang'an is now the place where Li Ze pays the most attention.

After reading Gao Xiangsheng's secret report, Li Ze was also stunned.

"Zhu Youzhen, just give up Chang'an and ran away?" Entering the Qinling Mountains at this time was a big gamble. It seems that this guy has really come to an end, otherwise he would not have done this move.

However, it is hard to say that this move was indeed beyond his expectations and could be considered a wonderful move. If Zhu Youzhen really led his troops across the Qinling Mountains, it would be another village. At least in such a season, Li Ze would never drive his troops into the Qinling Mountains to pursue these desperadoes.

"It seems that there is another internal strife between the Zhu brothers." Li Ze smiled at Pei Ju.

"Has Zhu Youzhen gone to Yizhou?" Pei Ju was also a smart person. As soon as Li Ze said, he immediately reacted, just like Li Ze, and was shocked.

"It seems that's the case. This person really has a bit of a life-threatening attempt. But Yizhou is so big that it will definitely not be able to tolerate two Zhu, so there must be only one of the two brothers who can survive."

"If this is the case, I'm optimistic about Zhu Youzhen!" Pei Ju said: "Zhu Yougui can't compare with this person."
