Chapter 80: Loan Mortgage
When Zhou Yang returned to Luoyang, Xu Huang, Le Jin, Li Dian and other military generals also led the army back.
According to the information received by Ye Xuan of the Intelligence Corps, Xiahou Yuan had already begun to launch a fierce offensive against Chang'an. In less than three days, Li Jue could no longer hold on.
"Although Li Jue is isolated and helpless, he is not that crisp!" Zhou Yang couldn't help asking.
"That's of course." Ye Xuan still looked expressionless and said calmly, "It's just that General Xiahou Yuan followed Mr. Xun Yu's strategy. The army had just set up camp and issued a notice to Chang'an."
"Do you persuade me to surrender?" Zhou Yang guessed.
"That's right, but the purpose is not to really persuade surrender, because Li Jue thought that he could still fight General Xiahou with the Xiliang cavalry in his hands." Ye Xuan said, "At least there is no problem in protecting Chang'an."
"It seems that the fierce attacks in these three days are just to shake the hearts of Chang'an." Zhou Yang said.
"The siege equipment designed by Liu Ye is indeed powerful, but the city walls of Chang'an are high and the city is vast. The power of these equipment is mainly to make earth-shaking loud noises." Ye Xuan said.
"When the people and soldiers of Chang'an heard the sound of siege, and Brother Peng sneaked into the city to Zaoyao and General Xu Rong's support, General Xiahou had fewer worries and could fight with peace of mind." Zhou Yang said with satisfaction, "Then the city of Chang'an will naturally be panic. It seems that he will surrender within half a month."
After Ye Xuan talked about the military situation in Chang'an, he left first.
Then Xun Yu handed over the post and authority of the prefect of Luoyang. In just a few days, the king and Zuozhi handled all matters, big and small.
Since Zhou Yang took over as the prefect of Luoyang with just a legitimate claim, he spent most of his time learning to manage the city while he was restored by Zou's appearance.
It turned out that everything had become written, which made Zhou Yang have a headache as soon as he picked up the documents that needed to be reviewed, and he did not dare to bother Xun Yu, because he was helping him develop the Handing Money House wholeheartedly and could not spare time to help him manage Luoyang.
But these days he was able to take care of both sides so perfectly. Zhou Yang couldn't help asking him if he had any clever tricks.
"There is no Qiaomen, but there are two ways to send Zhou Taishou." Xun Yu said with a smile.
"Let me tell me quickly." Zhou Yang couldn't wait to ask.
"The first method is to preside over Zhou personally review the documents. After all, every line of text is the fruit of hard work of officials from various departments and the fruit of daily labor." Xun Yu said.
"Mr. Xun should... talk about the second one!" It seems that the first method is equivalent to not saying it. Zhou Yang knew that this smart man would definitely not talk nonsense, and the purpose is still below.
"The second type is not a solution, it's just asking someone to criticize it." Xun Yu continued without waiting for him to ask, "Actually, I have no energy to take care of so many things these days. As soon as the 10,000 taels of gold is in place, the entire bank started to operate. Every day, people are crowded to run and deposit. In addition, Luoyang is still a developing city, and many entrepreneurs come to borrow money, and there are already wealthy businessmen to invest and cooperate."
Zhou Yang didn't care about Handing Money House, and no one could feel more at ease with Xun Yu than him.
The most important thing is what Xun Yu said to ask someone to criticize him. If there are any talents to recommend him this time, he will never be transferred to Cao Cao anyway.
Almost all the people with literary talent and martial arts there are perfect, but apart from Xun Yu and Wei Ji, there is no other third counselor around him.
But Xun Yu still focused on the money shop. After all, this was his greatest hope to revive the Han Dynasty, and Zhou Yang could not bear to interrupt him.
It turns out that Handing Money House has only done business with local people in Luoyang so far.
As soon as the money house was launched, the first rule was formulated, that is, non-Luoyang population could only be deposited and no loans were borrowed for the time being.
Zhou Yang expressed his opinion on this and said: "In fact, it is not impossible to lend money to foreign businessmen."
Xun Yu said, "The situation in the world is still unstable now. All forces are just loyal to the Han Dynasty on the surface. Anyone may become an enemy at any time. If they lend it to foreign businessmen from other forces, they will not say anything about borrowing or repaying them, and use our money to buy weapons and expand the army, then wouldn't we shoot ourselves in the foot?"
Zhou Yang thought that no matter how talented you, Wang Zuo, was able to be able to be able to make a living and have a long-term strategy, after all, knowledge is still limited to this era.
It is unheard of foresight concepts like money shops, and it is impossible to understand the more perfect management simulation of banks at once.
If Zhou Yang hadn't just known the basics about this, he would have told him all the time.
However, for a relatively simple thing like lending, he smiled and said, "Mr. Xun can lend money to foreign businessmen from other forces, as long as the other party has some pressure."
Xun Yu sorted out his thoughts and immediately reacted, saying, "Premier Zhou is so smart. Since ancient times, diplomatic conversations and negotiations have had conditions for taking the prince as a hostage. Why didn't I expect to change the same principle?"
Zhou Yang felt ashamed. You are the one who is truly extremely smart. After only a few words, you have mastered the key points of the problem.
So I began to recall the era when I was growing up, and I realized that I rarely went to the bank before. Apart from going to the ATM to get the money when I paid my salary, I had no chance to get in touch with the bank, as well as applying for cards and online banking.
Fortunately, it always takes a long queue to go to the bank once. Zhou Yang was bored and would pick up some orders in the bank to take a look, or walk around, check out securities and other things to pass the time.
With the only piece of memory left now and incomplete, he told some probabilities intermittently, and Xun Yu could always tell the mystery in one word.
This undoubtedly made the development of Handing Money House a big step, and even more amazing the genius Xun Yu, the genius, was amazed at the ideas he put forward.
"By the way!" Zhou Yang was not interested in the boring topics of these money shops, and still asked with a curiosity, "Who did Mr. Xun ask to help manage Luoyang these days?"
"This man's grandfather once served as the prefect of Yingchuan, and his father had the experience of serving as the ruling of Luoyang and Jingzhao Yin. As the acting prefect of Luoyang, it is the most appropriate thing." Xun Yu said with confidence, "He is diligent and studious, and he is steady in his behavior. His subordinates specially asked someone to invite him from Guandu."
"What?" Zhou Yang said in a lost voice.
Sima Lang's political talent is not as outstanding as Sima Yi, but as a prefect, he is more than enough.
However, what shocked Zhou Yang was not Sima Lang promoted by Xun Yu, but Sima Yi who was under house arrest in Luoyang by himself. If his brother found out that Sima Yi was in Luoyang, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Fortunately, I came back early and did not allow Sima Lang to continue acting as the prefect.
Seeing that Xun Yu was still talking about Handing Money House and Luoyang Prefect's important position, it was also easy and natural. Obviously, Sima Lang had not noticed that his younger brother was under house arrest in the small wooden house, and he did not know that he had already been schizophrenia due to the pain of losing his sister.
But if Sima Lang stays in Luoyang for a long time, the paper will not be able to bear the fire.
The arrival of this person forced Zhou Yang to reconsider how to deal with Sima Yi's problem in the future.
It is impossible to lock him in that wooden house all your life, and I can't guarantee when this wolf Gu Zi suddenly woke up. I guessed that Xiaoyao died because of him, Zhou Yang.
If Sima Lang or Zhang Chunhua finds it, it is something Zhou Yang doesn't want to happen.
Now these two Sima Yi's closest people are in Luoyang and Mianchi. It seems that this matter cannot be avoided or left alone.
Either he would return Sima Yi to Sima Lang and Zhang Chunhua, or he would kill him with one blow and end all his life.
"Prefect Zhou?" Xun Yu couldn't help asking, seeing that he had not recovered for a long time, "Do you know this person?"
"Who?" Zhou Yang actually knew that the "this person" he said was referring to Sima Lang rather than Sima Yi. He was just guilty and blurted out his questions.
"Of course it's Sima Lang." Xun Yu paused and said, "By the way, this person had just arrived in Luoyang. In addition to immediately taking the position of acting as a prefect, he often asked us about you. It seems that he has admired Zhou Taishou's name for a long time."
"I have seen him in Guandu." Zhou Yang explained truthfully, and asked again, "What has this person asked about me?"
"Of course, how Zhou Taishou saved more than 100,000 people in Luoyang, how he sneaked into Chang'an alone, and how he rescued the emperor..." Xun Yu said a series of things, and even when Zhou Yang first arrived in Luoyang, he wrote a lyric indignant lyrics at Situ's Mansion, and failed to assassinate Dong. He talked about the experiences of later counterattacking Puyang with Cao Cao and going to Wancheng.
In fact, most of him learned from the people of Luoyang, but it made people hear it as if they were personally experienced.
Zhou Yang didn't really want to know how Sima Lang cared about himself, as long as there was no matter related to Sima Yi or Xiaoyao.
But the most important thing now is to deal with Sima Lang first, so he said to Xun Yu: "Since I'm back now, it's better to do my job as the prefect himself. As for Sima Lang so talented, I'll recommend him to Cao Gong!"
Xun Yu said strangely: "The prefect Zhou doesn't plan to keep this person by his side?"
Zhou Yangmeng asked himself that he was really short of talents like Sima Lang, but he must not do this until the Sima Yi incident was settled.
Xun Yu thought he was loyal to Cao Cao and did not ask more questions.
Zhou Yang said again: "Apart from Sima Lang, are there any other good candidates for Mr. Xun?"
Xun Yu said: "There are many talents. It is rare that the important task of Zhou Taishou, which reminds his subordinates of Sima Lang. However, most of the outstanding people have been transferred to Cao Gong. Only then did the subordinates wonder why they did not keep Sima Lang."
Zhou Yang naturally couldn't explain, so he had to talk nonsense.
