Tian Wen raised his head, kept his hands busy, and made calculations, and said: "Yizhi, please wait a moment, I will finish calculating the last page of accounts soon."
Li Yizhi said: "There's no rush, just take your time and figure it out."
Ten minutes later.
Tian Wen put down his calculations and said: "Yizhi, you are a very busy man. How come you have time to come here today? How is the local inspection going?"
Li Yizhi nodded and said: "Well, the inspection has been completed, there is no big problem. The reason I came here this time is to discuss with you the establishment of a bank. By the way, how has the Beggar Clan developed during this time?"
"Every work is progressing smoothly. Now there are nearly 5,000 disciples. Most of them have successfully cultivated the true energy. Among the 300 people we have trained, the highest one has opened the second meridian.
.”
Tian Wen stroked his beard and said with a smile: "In addition, according to your blast furnace drawings, we have now successfully produced molten steel, built a batch of weapons, and opened a weapons shop in the city, just on Ningguan Street in the west of the city. By the way.
, Speaking of which, this is really thanks to the stamping machine tool you designed. Many weapons are directly stamped and formed, and the speed is much faster, and the quality is also very good. "
Li Yizhi smiled and said: "That's very good. Originally, I wanted to ask you whether the stamping machine tool has been built. Next, we will set up a bank and issue coins, but it will all depend on this stamping machine tool."
Tian Wen rubbed his palms excitedly. He naturally understood the huge profits from minting, and said: "Okay. Next, I will set up the rack of the bank first, and then start preparing to mint the sample coins. By the way, what about the guards of the bank?
What to do? With the strength of our Beggar Gang, I’m afraid it’s still not enough.”
"It's simple. Now that the Zhuhua Gang has surrendered to me, I can let them provide some experts to sit in the bank. But on the surface, our Beggar Gang is hiring and asking the Zhuhua Gang to provide protection." Li Yizhi said.
Tian Wen hummed and said, "Well, that's fine, but in the final analysis, we are still too weak, and Kou Zhong and the others haven't grown up yet."
"Mr. Tian, the bank affairs should be settled as soon as possible, and then you will come forward to lend a sum of money to the prefect's mansion. Now the treasury of the prefect's mansion is empty, and there will be a large number of refugees coming, and they all need to be properly accommodated.
.”
Li Yizhi paused and said: "With this incident, I also have an excuse to fully support the development of the bank and hand over the officials' salaries and Jiangdu County's tax revenue to the bank's management."
Tian Wen frowned slightly and said: "Yizhi, how big is the shortfall in the Prefecture's Mansion? Although we are now rich in assets, with more than half a million taels of silver, the development of Jiangdu County is a bottomless pit, even if it is a million
If you throw two pieces of silver into it, you won't hear the slightest sound."
Li Yizhi pondered and said: "Let's borrow 300,000 taels of silver for emergencies first. And you don't have to withdraw it all at once. The money will still be kept in the bank. If necessary, you can withdraw it with my handwriting. As for the rest, I will think of a way. Yes.
Yes, I also have some money-making gadgets here, which are not difficult to make."
After saying this, he took out a stack of papers from his arms, which contained instructions for making soap, perfume, and glass.
These things do not have much technical content. With the technological level of this era, they can be produced, and all of them are huge profits.
Tian Wen took a quick look, and a smile spread across his face, and he said: "These three items are all good things, especially glass, which is even more rare. Each of the glazed items from the Western Regions is
It’s worth a thousand pieces of gold.”
After chatting with Tian Wen for more than an hour, Li Yizhi got up and left.
As soon as he walked out of the accounting room, he saw Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling guarding outside.
He asked with some surprise: "Look at you, if you have something to say, just say it and don't hesitate."
"hey-hey!"
Kou Zhong smiled flatteringly, rubbed his hands, and said: "This, this Boss Li, is like this. A few days ago, our cultivation level broke through again, I reached An Jin, and Master Ling also opened up the fifth meridian.
So, we just thought of going out and trying to make a name for you, old man."
Xu Ziling nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes, Boss Li. We have been practicing martial arts and have never made a move with anyone. As the saying goes, it is better to travel thousands of miles than to read thousands of books."
Li Yizhi said: "I thought it was something. If you really want to go out and have a try, I will naturally not stop you. But with your current strength, you are only at the third-rate level in the world, and the danger is not small."
In fact, Li Yizhi is not worried about Ssangyong's safety.
These two people are very smart and have the halo of being the protagonists, so they are not easy to kill.
Kou Zhong was overjoyed and said hurriedly: "Boss Li, you are looking down on us both. No matter what, we are also your first and second disciples."
Li Yizhi waved his hand and said: "Okay, okay, with your current strength, if you tell me, you will be an embarrassment to me. Let's wait until you become a genius in the future."
When Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling heard this, they looked resentful and felt so sad.
"By the way, since you are going to go out and explore, I happen to have a personal task for you. I wonder if you two dare to take it?" Li Yizhi suddenly felt something in his heart and said with a smile.
Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling nodded and said curiously: "Boss Li, just ask."
Li Yizhi said: "You also know that our Beggar Gang has a secret method for refining molten steel. The demand for iron ore will inevitably increase greatly in the future. I happen to know that there is a huge iron ore vein near Danyang. Your mission is,
Just go to Danyang to establish a beggar gang branch, find iron ore veins and lead people to mine them."
Danyang in the Sui Dynasty was actually Nanjing today and Jiankang in the Nanchen Dynasty.
When Yang Guang led an army to pacify Nanchen, he destroyed the capital city of Jiankang to destroy the thoughts of the people of Nanchen.
Later, the Sui Dynasty established Danyang east of Nanjing, and the Maanshan Iron Mine was located near Danyang.
In the world of Yitian, the Qinglong Gang had found and mined the Ma'anshan Iron Ore, so Li Yizhi remembered the specific location, so he didn't need to make great efforts to find it with Kou Zhong, he just had to organize people to mine it.
"Boss Li, we have accepted this task. Don't worry, we will do it beautifully."
Kou and Zhong patted their chests and said, their fighting spirit high.
"Okay, let me see how you perform next." Li Yizhi said with a slight smile.
In fact, he also wanted to know whether Shuanglong, whose fate had been changed by him, could still stir up troubles in the world.
…………
Yangzhou, Prefecture.
After sending Kou Zhong away, Li Yizhi returned to the prefect's mansion and summoned Xue Zhen and Gao Shouyi.
Li Yizhi said: "As for the silver, I have now raised 300,000 taels of silver. I borrowed it from Sihai Bank in the name of the Prefecture, and used Jiangdu County's tax revenue as a guarantee. You can use it first."
Xue Zhen asked in confusion: "Prefect, what is the origin of Sihai Bank? Why have I never heard of it?"
Gao Shouyi also nodded.
Although this city of Yangzhou is not big, there are only a few banks, and there is no such thing as Sihai Bank.
Moreover, even if there are other banks, although their scale is not small, there is absolutely no one that can take out 300,000 taels of silver at once.
