Chapter 322 Liaozhou Base Camp, Fang Yuan’s Foundation
"You go back first, and I'll think about it later."
In the end, Li Shimin did not make up his mind to take action against Wu Xing Qi Wang.
There are still many places in the Tang Dynasty that are under the control of the Five Surnames and Qiwang.
Breaking with the Five Surnames and Qi Wang might lead to a split in the Tang Dynasty, which is not what I want.
Whether or not to take action requires long-term planning, and the Millennium Plan cannot be ruined recklessly.
"I resign."
Fang Yuan bowed and resigned.
Since Li Shimin didn't adopt his idea, then Fang Yuan would do his own.
After returning to Fang Mansion, Fang Yuan called Lu Xia.
"Lu Xia, how many bank managers have you trained in Chang'an City?"
Fang Yuan said in a deep voice.
After Lu Xia came to Chang'an City to take over the bank, Fang Yuan gave her a task.
This is to prepare for the future expansion of the bank.
Originally, everything was almost ready, just checking the banknotes.
But with the bank being burned down, the expansion plan will definitely not be implemented immediately.
"We have trained ten in total, and five of them can take on their own responsibility."
Lu Xia said in a deep voice.
"Very good!"
"You send them all out, with Chang'an City as the center, and each person chooses a state within the Guannai Road as a base point."
"After selecting the base points, report them to me. I will immediately establish banks in the ten selected states and send them to manage them. With Chang'an City as the center, I will first control the Guannei Road."
Fang Yuan said in a deep voice.
Since Five Surnames and Seven Hopes want the paper currency markets across the country, Fang Yuan is eyeing a few key places.
Among them, Chang'an City is Li Shimin's base camp. Li Shimin's prestige here is very high. The five surnames and Qiwang are watching the markets in various places and there are certainly not many people trying their best to estimate the Guan Nei Road.
So with this opportunity, we should be able to capture the banknotes on the Guannei Road, and then try other places in the future.
"But, we don't have that many banknotes."
Lu Xia raised her concerns.
The ten bank managers we originally trained were for the ten best people in the world.
Now because the banknotes were burned, it can only be reduced to the ten states of Kanai Road.
But even so, there are not that many banknotes to support the opening of ten banks.
"Don't worry, I can hold on."
"Although the people in Chang'an City are clamoring to withdraw money, once the banks are sure that they can withdraw the money, fewer people will withdraw money."
"After the bank has less money, the money from other banks can support it. After all, the distance is so close, and it is easy to mobilize banknotes."
Fang Yuan said in a deep voice.
With Chang'an City as the center, it radiates in all directions.
If other banks want money, they can quickly transport it from Chang'an City.
They are all on the Guannai Road, and you can reach them all in half a day on horseback.
"This is a good way!"
"I'll make arrangements right away!"
Lu Xia's eyes lit up and she said excitedly.
Indeed, with the short distance and easy mobilization, you will always be able to persevere.
As long as you stick to the initial time, there will be no problem in the follow-up.
"Wait, we haven't finished talking yet."
Fang Yuan stopped Lu Xia and asked her to sit down.
"You said."
Lu Xia smiled and sat down again.
She has been thinking about how to compete with Wu Xing Qi Wang for the market these two days.
Now that I have obtained Fang Yuan's method, I want to implement it immediately, with Chang'an City as the center, and first occupy the pass inside the pass.
"Although the Guannai Road is important, the really important place is not here."
Fang Yuan said in a deep voice.
"Where?"
Luxia was immediately stunned.
"Liaozhou!"
"Liaozhou is our base camp!"
"I need you to return to Liaozhou in person and join forces with Zhao Yingcai to consolidate our base camp."
Fang Yuan said in a deep voice.
Liaozhou has many partners of Fogyuan.
More importantly, the governor of Liaozhou was Zhao Yingcai.
Taking Liaozhou as the center, Hedong Road can also be mapped.
Naturally, Hedong Road is more troublesome, and there are many enemies there.
But there are no feasible methods.
"Liaozhou is so important?"
Luxia said in surprise.
She also thought that Chang'an City was the top priority.
I still want to stay and repair the bank before continuing to operate it.
"I have been asking Liaozhou to print money, and there are more banknotes in Liaozhou than in Chang'an City."
Fang Yuan said in a deep voice.
Now, there are two places where Huaxia Bank prints money.
One is the headquarters in Chang'an City, and the other is the branch in Liaozhou.
To say that Liaozhou is a branch is just a nominal statement. In fact, Liaozhou is the headquarters.
However, Fang Yuan and other important figures are in Chang'an City, so the Huaxia Bank in Chang'an City becomes even more important.
"More than those in Chang'an City?"
"Then we can transport it to Chang'an City?"
Lu Xia was surprised at first, and then said excitedly.
If the banknotes from Liaozhou can support Chang'an City.
Then the original decision to send ten bank managers to the ten states of the world can be implemented, instead of staying in the ten states of Guannai.
"The journey is long, and the problem of accidents is too big."
"Besides, the emperor has not yet decided to fall out with Qiwang, so there is no need to bring the money."
Money can cause countless people to flock here.
Once it is known, countless people will rob it.
Liaozhou is so far away from Chang'an City, what should I do if there is an accident on the way?
What's more important is that Li Shimin hasn't made a decision yet, so he can't be too emotional.
Otherwise, after all the hard work he had put in, Li Shimin did nothing in the end and was just sitting back and reaping the rewards, how could he do that?
"Yes, then I will rush back to Liaozhou after arranging the place they choose."
"After returning to Liaozhou, I will cooperate with Mr. Zhao to develop to other states with Liaozhou as the center."
Lu Xia had an idea and said with expectation.
As long as Liaozhou has money, it will be easy for Liaozhou to handle it.
Now that the promotion of paper money has gained credibility, people have begun to use it.
Implementing it in Liaozhou, with Fang Yuan’s prestige, there is absolutely no problem.
Taking Liaozhou as the center, there should be some places in Hedong Road where this can be implemented.
"I will contact Ye Chengmin and others, they should support it."
Fang Yuan said in a deep voice.
Ye Chengmin and other top ten foreign families are still in Liaozhou.
With Liaozhou's current development, not only counties but also many villages have roads.
With Fang Yuan’s support, community housing is now available in many places in Liaozhou.
As the first founders of community housing, they made a lot of money and refused to leave.
In the case of relatively limited information, if you want more people to like community housing, you need to publicize it.
While publicizing, we also need to let people know what community housing looks like, so it is necessary to take Liaozhou as the center and develop nationwide.
Therefore, none of them left Liaozhou. They all took Liaozhou as the center and cooperated to develop outward.
It can be said that Liaozhou City has become the second largest city after Chang'an City.
"Okay!"
Luxia said solemnly.
There is so much help from Fang Yuan.
She feels that her return to Liaozhou will go smoothly this time.
With that said, Lu Xia was about to get up and leave, but was stopped by Fang Yuan again.
"Please arrange things here, and tell me when you will go back."
"I thought about it and wanted to go back to Liaozhou for a visit. I have something I want to arrange."
Fang Yuan suddenly had another idea and decided to visit Liaozhou himself.
"Okay."
Lu Xia was a little surprised.
But he didn’t ask Fang Yuan why.
This time, she can finally leave.
Two days later, Lu Xia arranged things and came to Fang Yuan.
On the same day, Fang Yuan asked for leave and took Du Miaoyan, Xue Rengui and Hong Xu Qinggao back to Liaozhou.
When Li Shimin learned that Fang Yuan was leaving Chang'an City during this period, he was so angry that he almost asked someone to bring Fang Yuan back.
Fortunately, Li Shimin had not yet decided whether to break up with Qi Wang of the Fifth Surname, so he did not really call Fang Yuan back.
One day later, Fang Yuan and others finally returned to Liaozhou.
Returning to Liaozhou again, Fang Yuan and others were a little surprised.
Although we already knew that Liaozhou would undergo great changes.
But after actually seeing Liaozhou, I was still greatly shocked.
Especially Fang Yuan, he thought he had returned to the city of later generations.
There are many high-rise buildings, and at a glance, many communities have been built.
As soon as he entered the border of Liaozhou, Fang Yuan saw many people waiting on the road.
Judging from their clothes, they are all either rich or expensive.
After taking a closer look, it turned out to be Zhao Yingcai and a group of dignitaries from Liaozhou.
"Master, they must be welcoming you."
Hongxu smiled.
Now Fang Yuan is no longer what he used to be.
Already a fourth-rank Minister of Household Affairs.
In the eyes of many people, he is a huge figure.
"Then I must be a big shot."
Qinggao stuck her head out and said proudly.
As he said that, he slapped the horse's butt, and the carriage sped up a lot.
Zhao Yingcai and others in the distance saw a luxurious carriage appearing, and immediately stared eagerly to see if it was Fang Yuan?
After seeing clearly that there was Hongxu among the people driving the carriage, he immediately determined that it was Fang Yuan's carriage and walked quickly towards Fang Yuan's carriage.
"Congratulations to Mr. Fang on his return home!"
Zhao Yingcai took the lead in saluting.
Then the heads of the local and foreign families also saluted.
Although Ye Chengmin and others are from foreign families, they have established a firm foothold in Liaozhou, and local families no longer reject them.
In fact, there is no use in excluding them. After all, Fang Yuan has already decided the distribution of benefits for them before leaving, so that they can develop together in peace and harmony.
"It can't be done, it can't be done."
"I didn't come back as the Minister of Household Affairs."
Fang Yuan got off the carriage and walked quickly to Zhao Yingcai to hold his hand.
Du Miaoyan also came down and immediately told everyone to experience it. They all saluted Du Miaoyan and called her Mrs. Fang.
"That's also a big celebrity in our Liaozhou, don't you think so?"
Zhao Yingcai laughed loudly.
Looking at Fang Yuan, he looked very satisfied and sighed.
This is a talent cultivated by oneself, which has surpassed oneself.
Now I feel a little cautious in front of Fang Yuan.
He is a fourth-level official, and he is a fourth-level official with real power. It is probably impossible for him to do so in this life.
"That's right, that's right."
Zhou Kaile and other county magistrates responded one after another.
They were excited when Fang Yuan came back.
As an old leader of Liaozhou, he is already a member of the fourth rank.
If we could take more care of Liaozhou, or give these county magistrates some opportunities.
Then they will be able to take a further step and become an existence with greater backing.
So everyone came.
"It's weird to talk here, let's talk while walking."
Fang Yuan chuckled.
Let Du Miaoyan continue to get on the carriage and sit.
He walked back to Liaozhou with Zhao Yingcai and others.
It's still a little far away from Liaozhou City, but no one has the means to ride, so Fang Yuan didn't continue riding.
"Master Fang, please!"
Zhao Yingcai immediately made a gesture of invitation.
"Uncle Zhao, you are my elder, please go first."
Fang Yuan took Zhao Yingcai's hand and asked Zhao Yingcai to walk in front.
As soon as these words came out, everyone's expressions changed.
Zhao Yingcai took the position of governor of Liaozhou because of Fang Yuan.
Therefore, local and foreign aristocratic families in Liaozhou, as well as all the county magistrates, gave Zhao Yingcai face.
But they were not sure what the relationship between Zhao Yingcai and Fang Yuan was like, so they had an idea in their minds.
Now that they saw Fang Yuan treating Zhao Yingcai like this, they put all their thoughts back.
"Then let's go together."
Zhao Yingcai slowly let go of the knot in his heart.
This is still the Fang Yuan I know.
I didn’t feel arrogant just because I got promoted, and I deserved my previous training of him.
Afterwards, Fang Yuan and Zhao Yingcai walked in front, followed by Zhou Kaile and other county magistrates as well as officials from the governor's office.
Behind them are the heads of local aristocratic families, foreign aristocratic families, and the carriage at the end.
After walking for a short distance and not too short, everyone finally entered Liaozhou City.
After Fang Yuan's reconstruction, the city of Liaozhou City is now much majestic, even more majestic than Taiyuan.
Now, Liaozhou has the tendency to become the center of Hedong Road. Many people from Hedong Road are coming here, and the flow of people is more than twice as much as before Fang Yuan left.
"It's really amazing that Liaozhou has changed so much after only leaving it for such a short time."
Fang Yuan couldn't help but sigh.
Liaozhou is developing really well, and it’s great to have this place as your foundation.
With Zhao Yingcai here and my own help, this place will definitely get better and better in the future.
"This is all the credit of Mr. Fang."
"If it weren't for Mr. Fang, Liaozhou would still be poor now."
Zhao Yingcai sighed.
Although he was much polite when talking to Fang Yuan.
But in front of so many people, you will still pay attention to what you should pay attention to.
"No, no, it's all thanks to everyone."
"Chief Zhao, the county magistrates and all of you are the real contributors."
Fang Yuan shook his head and said.
You can't take the credit alone, you have to let the people below get a taste of the benefits.
Moreover, these achievements are of little use to Fang Yuan.
He is now a fourth-rank minister of household affairs, and the only one above him is the minister.
It's not easy to get into Shangshu, it requires time and qualifications, so study hard or wait for the opportunity.
"Thanks also to Mr. Fang for your guidance."
"You are the lucky star and the sun of our Liaozhou."
Zhou Kaile and others’ eyes suddenly lit up.
With Fang Yuan's words, they felt that their future was bright.
They once again flattered Fang Yuan and praised Fang Yuan's achievements.
"Okay, okay, if you keep talking like this, I will almost no longer be a human being."
"Thank you for coming to pick me up. You all should go back to work."
Fang Yuan shook his head and laughed.
If they continue to praise him, he will become a god.
"Master Fang, we have hosted a banquet for you at the Guest House. After the meal, we will go back?"
Zhao Yingcai and others suddenly looked embarrassed.
They set up a welcoming banquet for Fang Yuan.
Now that we have left, how can we win over the relationship?
"Then eat and then go back."
Fang Yuan thought for a while and said.
He also has to keep in touch with the people below and exchange feelings.
