Chapter 127: Fang Yuan’s cruel methods

After the opening of the state academy, Fang Yuan and Du Miaoyan left.

Xiao Ai and others had mixed feelings and officially started their teaching career.

After returning to the Governor's Mansion, Fang Yuan almost forgot about the unpleasantness that happened in the Prefectural Court.

He doesn't have the free time to pay attention to these things now, he is all staring at the bank and the guest house.

More than half of the bank and guest house have been built, and I originally wanted Zhang Ji to help manage one.

But now that Zhang Ji has decided to study, he cannot find the right manpower for this important place.

"Fang Yuan, I want to hand over the tea business to my maid. She has been with me for ten years and I can trust her. Do you think it's okay?"

Du Miaoyan followed Fang Yuan back to the Governor's Mansion.

Yesterday, she had sorted out the tea shop business of the Royal Merchant House, and the rest was just a matter of step by step.

Now the Royal Merchant House does not control many things, just the tea shop, and the steel factory is actually controlled by Fang Yuan.

The tea shop is now mainly about business, and what Du Miaoyan wants to do more is to study tea and how to treat her father Du Ruhui.

"This is up to you."

"By the way, Miaoyan, I have something to ask you for help."

Fang Yuan waved his hands.

The tea shop's business is now stable.

No one dares to take action in this regard despite the fact that the Royal Commercial Bank personally took action.

They are all researching new tea, and it is estimated that more tea will appear soon, and Fang Yuan no longer pays attention to it.

But after hearing Du Miaoyan's point, Fang Yuan suddenly had a choice about the manager of the bank, and Du Miaoyan was very good.

Both her identity and ability are sufficient. If the bank can be temporarily replaced by her, then no one should dare to interfere.

However, there is one thing that Fang Yuan is very concerned about, that is, historical records indicate that Du Ruhui died in the fourth year of Zhenguan. It is now the third year of Zhenguan. If he passes away, Du Miaoyan may not be able to control the bank.

"You said."

Du Miaoyan looked at Fang Yuandao.

"Do you know the banknotes I mentioned?"

Fang Yuan pondered for a moment and asked.

He forgot whether Du Miaoyan was there the last time he mentioned banknotes to Li Shimin.

"I don't know."

Du Miaoyan shook her head and said.

She was not here last time, but Li Shimin and Princess Xiangcheng were there.

"Let's go... let's go inside and talk."

Fang Yuan pondered for a moment and pointed to the conference room.

Soon, Fang Yuan and Du Miaoyanli entered the conference room.

The state official brought tea and closed the door, leaving the two of them alone.

"I think copper coins are too difficult to carry. They always weigh 8 kilograms. It would be difficult to carry a little more."

"If I develop a paper currency to replace copper coins, it will greatly promote economy, trade and people's livelihood, etc."

Fang Yuan first explained the initial stage.

"Paper money instead of copper coins?"

"Isn't that true mastery of money?!"

Du Miaoyan's expression suddenly changed and she said in horror.

The imperial court controlled the production of copper coins, so the imperial court was the richest.

If Fang Yuan made banknotes instead of copper coins, wouldn't Fang Yuan be the richest person?

But this is a big problem. If you don’t grasp it well, you may be shattered into pieces!

"It's almost the same, but it's still under planning. The bank currently being built will be the place where banknotes will be made in the future, but I lack a trustworthy manpower to manage it."

Fang Yuan took a deep look at Du Miaoyan and sighed that she thought so deeply that she immediately thought of what was really important.

"I can!"

"As long as my father is still here, no one will touch me."

"Even if my father is not here, we can still find another way within a year or two!"

Du Miaoyan said seriously.

I instantly understood the key.

She even thought that Fang Yuan was not an untrustworthy person.

But among the people I can trust, other than myself, the identities of others are not very good.

For a moment, Du Miaoyan was a little happy, happy that she could help Fang Yuan because of her identity.

"Okay, as long as you say this, the bank will be handed over to you."

"But it's not yet time to make banknotes. It will initially be used to lend money to students who want to study."

Fang Yuan nodded with satisfaction.

"Can I still lend money to merchants who have difficulty in cash flow?"

Du Miaoyan pondered for a moment and asked.

"Yes, very good!"

"Miaoyan, you are so smart, you can draw inferences from one example!"

"But when lending to merchants, you need to check their credit and assets, etc. We will discuss it later."

Fang Yuan was stunned for a moment, then said excitedly.

Du Miaoyan is indeed different from ordinary women in terms of intelligence and decisiveness.

Not only is his martial arts superb, but his appearance is also at its peak, and he is also so smart, which is really rare in the world.

You know, there was no concept of a bank at this time, and the upper class despised businessmen. Not to mention borrowing money, even talking to them would feel like it was lowering their status.

"It's just that you can get two results by applying one example. It's not as exaggerated as drawing inferences from one example."

Du Miaoyan covered her mouth and smiled slightly.

She considers herself smart and has been praised countless times since childhood. Now she accepts Fang Yuan's praises calmly.

But I feel sweet in my heart, and it feels different from other people's compliments. I seem to be more eager for Fang Yuan's compliments.

"You know how to joke."

"What's going on with Prime Minister Du now?"

Fang Yuan chuckled.

Amused by Du Miaoyan's humor.

Then she thought of what Du Miaoyan had just said, and she must have known that Du Ruhui's condition was not very good.

"It's very bad. It's probably due to overwork, but he doesn't want to rest."

"I found out from your tea that it helped improve my dad's problems, but the effect was very small. I have been studying its real effect."

Du Miaoyan sighed.

When Du Ruhui was mentioned, her heart was filled with dark clouds.

The doctor has already said that such a high-intensity work like Du Ruhui's body would be too much to bear.

But he didn't listen and didn't believe it, saying that the imperial court was in a state of ruin and had no way or time to rest.

Du Miaoyan couldn't defeat him, so she could only try to see if there was anything good that could cure it. So far, she found that tea has some effect.

"Then let him drink more tea."

"By the way, have you sought treatment from Sun Simiao?"

Fang Yuan suddenly thought of Sun Simiao, a miracle doctor.

This man is a true medical guru. His "A Thousand Gold Prescriptions" will be famous throughout the ages, and his lifespan is surprisingly long.

“I looked for him, but he refused to come to the door.”

"The rumor is that he was worried that the powerful people in Chang'an City would force him to stay in Chang'an City, so he kept traveling around and his whereabouts were elusive."

Du Miaoyan sighed.

The Du family is not the only one looking for Sun Simiao.
