Chinese people have always had the habit of storing money and grain. Whether they are promoted to the common people or wealthy gentry, they do not have enough food to save money at home, and they always feel uneasy.

What Li Ze is doing now is trying to find a way to hope that everyone can spend all their money at home. Only by moving money can he truly play his role. He can get moldy and rust at home. For each household, it may be at ease, but if thousands of families do this, it will be a lack of vitality for the country.

Over the past seven years, the economy of the entire North has been thriving overall, and compared with the past, it has been a totally earth-shaking change.

Li Ze can actually be very proud. Although he cannot solve the problem of poverty now, he can at least say that under his rule, the fact that starves people to death is now extremely rare. Even in the poorest areas, they can at least barely survive.

This is already an amazing achievement.

As for truly solving the problem of poverty, he does not think that he can do this in his lifetime. What he can do is to get most people out of such a dilemma.

Over the years, he has been working hard to instill a truth into his officials and the rich, to transfer money, run away, and to keep flowing on the market, so that he can earn more money.

Years of hard work have been effective. At least in his core ruling area, officials and rich people have begun to agree with his concept. After experiencing the benefits, those landlords in the past have begun to burst out more energy, hoping to gain more wealth.

Now, Li Ze hopes that the common people under his rule can slowly get on this track.

Never underestimate the power of these people who are promoted to the fight. Or, on average, each person only has a few coins to save money, but if this number is multiplied by the number of people who are promoted to the fight, it is a huge stock.

Li Ze carried out the currency reform, minting coins of hundreds of coins, silver coins of ten coins, and copper coins of ten coins. One of the reasons is that the original large amount of coins, after entering circulation, disappeared without a trace. They lay quietly in the people's wardrobe, boxes, or cellars, without seeing the light of day. The minting department of the Ministry of Revenue is busy minting coins like dogs every day, but it cannot change the problem of insufficient circulation of money on the market. The price of money is rising. The more it increases, the more people collect it. This is a vicious cycle.

After entering the market, these new money barely suppressed the problem of lack of money. But the problem did not fundamentally solve it, because these coins that are as 100 coins as ten coins are still not the main force circulating on the market, and the main force is still the copper coins that are as ten coins and the original one-month money.

"Shenglong Money House has started a pilot project to save money and pay interest in Wuyi, but judging from the current situation, the effect is not very good." Xia He said.

"Take it slow, it will take time." Li Ze said.

Shenglong raised a large amount of money in a short period of time by selling shares, but for Jin Mantang's investment in Pinglu and preparing to vigorously develop Japan, this amount of money is still a drop in the bucket. Moreover, those who purchase these shares are mostly rich and officials. So Li Ze gave him another idea, that is, to absorb the money scattered in the hands of the people. As long as it is deposited in Shenglong Money House, you can get an interest on time.

This is a huge change.

Before this, no matter who was depositing the money in the bank, not only did he have no interest, but he had to pay a storage fee. Therefore, except for those big merchants and ordinary people who needed a lot of money to trade, no one would put their own small money into the bank. But now, Shenglong has finally taken the first step.

The interest rate of one percent is not high, but it is already very good as a tester. The reason why Wuyi was chosen as a pilot is because Wuyi is now the richest place in the north, and the people also have more money to spend. More importantly, the people here have great confidence in the current court.

It is extremely important for the confidence of the court to be confident that the people are strong, invincible, and trustworthy. Only when they firmly believe that the court is powerful, invincible, and trustworthy, can they dare to take out the coffin book in their hands to gain more rewards.

"Wuwei Money House has made corresponding preparations in Pinglu's semicolon. At the beginning of next spring, it will officially launch micro-loan business. The target is farmers who are borrowing land and houses in Pinglu. The loan amount is not more than ten cents, the loan interest rate is not more than three percent, and the term is one year. To help farmers buy seeds, farm tools, etc., if the implementation in Pinglu is smooth, it will be carried out on a large scale nationwide." Xia He continued. "But from the specific situation now, there are probably considerable resistance."

This is also something that Li Ze is very troubled now. Not long after the Pinglu area was recovered, a large number of old officials, old gentry, especially the vast rural areas. The old forces still dominate, and the clan forces are still strong. The good policies of the court can barely be spread out in the city, but once they arrive in the countryside, they will be greatly reduced and cannot even be carried out at all.

Now, Li Ze can no longer use a knife to slash and kill with a knife like the one who was originally renovated Chengde Henghai and other areas. As the ruling area became larger and larger, the situation became more and more complicated. The court's policies have gradually become milder, and they are more and more adopting a gradual and moderate advancement model. Especially in the Pinglu area, the court now needs to be stable there so as to lay a foundation for the next large-scale attack on the pseudo-liang.

"There is a strong official there to promote the court's policies." Li Ze knocked on the table and said. Pinglu is still under military control. The entire Pinglu was divided into two, half of which belonged to Liu Chenglin and the other half belonged to You Yong. With the huge bandits there, the defeated soldiers were swept away by the two generals, and it has become an urgent task to restore their normal state.

In the afternoon of the same day, Cao Xin, the Minister of Personnel, appeared in Li Ze's general.

"I am going to rename Pinglu to Shandong Prefecture. There is a suitable official there. Can anyone choose it if you hold the bag?" Li asked.

Cao Xin pondered for a moment and smiled and said, "Li Xiang, there is a suitable candidate around you!"

"Oh?" Li Ze was stunned, "Who are you talking about?"

Cao Xin looked up at Zhang Xun, who was recording, and said, "It's far away in the sky, and it's near in front of you."

"Zhang Xun!" Not only was Li Ze shocked, but Zhang Xun himself was also shocked.

"Since he became an official, he has always been by my side and has no experience in managing the local area!" Li Ze said.

Zhang Xun also bowed and said, "The Ministry of Personnel is so proud of me. The subordinates don't have the confidence to manage Pinglu well!"

Cao Xin ignored the opposition of the two, but continued: "Li Xiang, I think no one is more suitable than Zhang Xun. First, he has been following Li Xiang, and has a thorough understanding of the court's policies. Wherever he went, he can accurately implement the court's policies. Second, Zhang Xun's family has a background in his family and Zhang Gong's reputation is also a well-known card. Zhang Xun's departure can greatly alleviate the psychological resistance of the local gentry to us."

Li Ze's heart moved. Shandong is the hometown of the saint, and Zhang Hui is a great scholar of Confucianism and Taoism. Wherever Zhang Xun goes, it can indeed effectively influence these people.

"The second point is that Li Xiang, now in Pinglu, that is, the next Shandong Prefecture, there are two generals stationed. One is an old man from Zhenzhou and the other is a new brave man. I am afraid that the two of them are a little disagreeable. Those who go there must be capable of coordinating the problems between the two generals. I would like to ask, who is more suitable than Zhang Xun? He has been working with you all the time. If he goes there, he will not see the monks and the Buddha's face. If he changes to another person, it may not be like this."

"It makes sense!" Li Ze was convinced that Liu Chenglin was his brother-in-law, and martial arts were extremely brave, but such a person was also quite conceited. You Yong, from his father's generation, was an old minister of the Li family, with deep qualifications and wide connections. In fact, some friction between the two people had reached Li Ze's ears in Shandong Prefecture, and there were frequent frictions wherever the two guards were, and there were conflicts from time to time. Zhang Xun was not only Zhang Hui's son, but also played the role of his own private secretary. Wherever he went, whether it was Liu Chenglin or You Yong, he would give him face.

"Three, as for Zhang Xun's lack of experience in governing the local area, this can be compensated by other methods. Li Xiang can equip him with a neat team and draw some experienced officials from various places to assist in the local area. These people do the specific things, and if Zhang Xun comes to deal with higher-level matters, there will naturally be no problems."

Hearing this, Li Ze was completely convinced and turned to look at Zhang Xun: "How is it? Do you have the confidence to go to Shandong Prefecture for a walk? Don't worry, do it boldly. If you really can't do it well, come back to me."

Is there any confidence to say two things first, but how can Zhang Xun be moved from being a secretary who handles documents all day long to a senior management official in a place of governance? It is actually the original Pinglu Jiedushi. Although the military power is gone, it is a great temptation for anyone to govern such a large area.

Cultivating oneself, managing the family, governing the country, and pacifying the world is a concept established by scholars like Zhang Xun since childhood.
