Zhong Jinwei's words immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the hall, and they all looked at him wondering what he wanted to say.
Emperor Chongzhen looked at Zhong Jinwei and knew that he was going to talk about the split.
Sure enough, what Zhong Jinwei said was the part about the split, but with a slight change: "My lords, I suggest that everyone jointly invest in the establishment of a bank, which is a bank. Not only can we make a lot of money besides salary, but we can also
How about setting an example for all bank accounts in Ming Dynasty and being the first to submit bank transfers to the management agency?"
There was a sudden silence in the hall. This Zhongxing Hou had returned from overseas after all. According to the rules of the Ming Dynasty, officials were not allowed to engage in business. This was a devaluation of themselves.
Of course, at least you can’t mention it openly, because everyone would be embarrassed!
"I, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, agree. In order that there will no longer be bank accounts and defrauding people in banks, in order to allow them to pay this money, and in order to make them subject to the supervision of the court, I, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, agree with the suggestion of Marquis Zhongxing.
The funds from the Capital Procuratorate are involved." Cao Yubian, the censor of Zuodu of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, was impassioned, as if this investment in the bank was a move up the mountain of swords and down into the sea of fire.
There were several people on the spot murmuring secretly, and this shameless guy was trying to earn that silver under the banner of righteousness.
If Zhongxinghou had just said that the management agency would charge custody fees instead of paying interest, let’s see if you would still say that.
However, these ministers thought about it again and felt that what Cao Yubian said was right. If they invested in the name of the Yamen, there would be benefits.
Regardless of whether it was Qingshui Yamen in the past or not, under the threat of Emperor Chongzhen launching a major anti-corruption campaign and granting amnesty to the whole country, and stating that if he committed the crime again, old and new accounts would be settled together, not many people dared to reach out in such a short period of time.
.
In this way, this money from the right source will attract the attention of these people. Now, according to the proposal of Marquis Zhongxing, if Cao Yubian participates, it can be done under the banner of sacrificing one's life for the people while not degrading the individual.
With a high net worth, you can also reap certain benefits, so why not!
He Rushong, who was in charge of the Ministry of Rites, stood up first. Facing Cao Yubian, he did not dare to show his sincerity and said: "I, the Ministry of Rites, will never be humble when making decisions for the people. If we have this opportunity today, we, the Ministry of Rites, will be counted among us."
There are already yamen involved. If your own yamen does not participate, you will probably be scolded by your subordinates after you return, and this position will not be secure. Therefore, regardless of whether they are willing or not, under this general trend, various departments have
Take a stand to participate.
Emperor Chongzhen did not expect Zhong Jinwei to make such a simple proposal. He originally thought that this had never happened before, and many old ministers would object. However, what he saw now was just the opposite. He couldn't help but secretly admire Zhong Jinwei in his heart.
.
Emperor Chongzhen didn't expect that if Zhong Jinwei's words were said by others, the effect would definitely not be so good. Because Zhong Jinwei had made a lot of money by making money, and he said that the bank could also make money, so it definitely didn't work.
wrong.
Among the ministers of the Ming Dynasty, when it came to the ability to make money, Zhongxing Hou ranked second, and others did not dare to say first. This was because Zhong Jinwei's past achievements were the endorsement, and these ministers did not hesitate to believe that banks could make money.
Zhong Jinwei himself did not expect that his proposal would attract such a warm response. As a result, he became worried. Because if the bank is composed of these powerful departments, how can others compete with it? Although this monopoly is temporary,
It is beneficial, but it will definitely be detrimental to the development of the banking industry in the long run.
But Zhong Jinwei couldn't think of how to deal with it for a while. After being anxious for a while, he then thought again. Now is the time to promote the reform of the banking industry. Only when these powerful yamen are involved can the implementation be carried out smoothly. As for monopoly
If it is not a monopoly, we will talk about it later. If it doesn’t work, just find a way to dismantle it.
Zhong Jinwei thought of this, and when he was about to speak, he didn't expect that Emperor Chongzhen also intervened and said: "Since all your ministers are so enthusiastic about civil affairs, I can't help but express that the palace will also invest a share."
Zhong Jinwei was speechless. Even the emperor was involved. The background of this bank was as big as the sky.
He doesn't care, everyone participates, the more the better.
After the ministers flattered him for a while, saying "Your Majesty is kind" and "Your Majesty is wise", Zhong Jinwei said: "Everyone, since everyone is so... making decisions for the people, let me tell you how.
Operation, let’s see if you have any opinions.”
"It doesn't matter if the Marquis of Zhongxing says so," the minister supported.
"Marquis Zhongxing, just say it, I'm all ears." The minister also expressed his stance.
"..."
The atmosphere in the palace was very lively, making the maids and maids jealous. If possible, they wanted to shout: "Slaves must also make decisions for the people..."
After Zhong Jinwei waited for the voice to quiet down, he told the plan he had discussed with Emperor Chongzhen and Wen Tiren to split up the Royal Bank of the Ming Dynasty, and added in the details.
The civil servants in the palace naturally had questions, but they all received satisfactory answers under Zhong Jinwei's explanations one by one.
No one knew when the lights in the Wenhua Hall were lit. Everyone in the hall was immersed in the money-making plan described by Zhongxing Hou. This way of doing business without capital, the operating principles of banks and the tips for making money, are very important to
They didn't know much about it, so Zhong Jinwei taught them a hard lesson.
The subsequent operations of the Ming Dynasty Royal Bank became trouble-free and received strong support from these six ministries and nine ministers.
At the end of the day, the six ministers and nine ministers all said goodbye to Marquis Zhongxing and Emperor Chongzhen with smiles on their faces, and left the palace to go to the office.
They were waiting to tell their subordinates in their respective yamen the good news tomorrow morning, especially Cao Yubian, who had already planned to publicize it widely. He was the first to respond and gave strong support to achieve this result.
At this time, only Zhong Jinwei and Wen Tiren were left in the Wenhua Hall.
Zhong Jinwei looked at Emperor Chongzhen's face and suddenly spoke first: "Your Majesty, the rice in my family cannot be wasted."
Emperor Chongzhen was speechless. He said this before he even invited him to have dinner with him.
Emperor Chongzhen was in a good mood, and he had almost accomplished a major event. He joked to Zhong Jinwei: "If you keep eating for a long time, just like you, I will be poor by you one day. Wen Qing, you
Say so?"
Wen Tiren's mind immediately flashed to the scene of Zhong Jinwei gobbling up the food, and he couldn't help but laugh.
When Emperor Chongzhen saw Zhong Jinwei's red face, he stopped joking and asked with a smile: "Master Zhong, how's it going in the Beijing camp?"
"Back to Your Majesty, I have just taken a look at the situation in the fifth army camp and it is not bad. Next, we will start the new army plan."
"Okay." Emperor Chongzhen nodded, and then said, "This bank matter has gone smoothly. In the next few days, we will strike while the iron is hot and complete this matter. I am watching the preliminary preparations for the new army. Master Zhong still has time.
Came to do this."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Zhong Jinwei agreed with Emperor Chongzhen that it is better to strike while the iron is hot.
But what they didn't expect was that the bank's implementation was by no means that simple, and there would be a storm waiting for them later.
