Xiangguo Temple was the largest landowner in the imperial dynasty. It owned the largest capital site in Bianliang and also operated catering, accommodation, commerce, leasing, credit and other related businesses.
To put it bluntly, Xiangguo Temple is the largest diversified development conglomerate in the country!
In future generations, even the deacon of the outer courtyard of Xiangguo Temple will probably be on the front page.
When exchanging new currency, Zhao Xi had already paid attention to it. He had originally thought that he could think about the Xiangguo Temple's industry after he had some free time and there were no major events involving the national economy and people's livelihood.
When Xiangguo Temple exchanged new coins, they almost took away all of Zhao Xi's spare money, which was a million dollars.
At that time, Zhao Xi also thought that he hoped that Xiangguo Temple could raise new coins to gild its body.
Unexpectedly, Xiangguo Temple was really generous and cooperative.
Just disappearing all at once, is this considered retribution?
"Your Highness, what do you say about the new currency?"
"Zirong, let me tell you sir."
This is Su Song's specialty. Besides, it's time to push the subordinate officers of his guard camp forward, so that the court can see the capabilities of his people.
"Your Highness, gentlemen, when minting new coins, Your Highness conducted in-depth research on the coins of the country."
"Comparing the difference between copperware and coins, we learned the real reason why the country was short of money. Therefore, when casting new coins, a mixed casting method of manganese, steel, copper and white lead was used."
"The core of the new coin is made of manganese steel, while the surface of the new coin is made of copper and white lead alloy. Copper and iron have the same weight, so it is difficult to distinguish them in terms of weight."
"This method of casting coins can avoid the disadvantages of melting coins. What's more, the beauty and storage of new coins are unmatched by old coins. No matter buried in the ground, sunk in water, or not specifically melted, new coins will be immortal."
In a sense, the teachings of the guard camp are the subordinate officials of the East Palace, which is recognized by the entire court.
Whether it is Lu Gongzhu, Han Zhen, Su Song or Wang Tao, they are all talents of a moment. With their age and experience, they are more than enough for any magistrate of the state or minister of the six departments of the imperial court.
It's just that everyone acquiesced in the fact that they were subordinate officials of the East Palace and former ministers of Qiandi. Even if they wanted to, no one would consider touching these people.
As for Li Jie...
"Your Highness's guard camp is full of talented people! Not to mention the four instructors, it is Ming Zhong...from the southwest mining city, to the Ordnance Prison, to the west workshop city, and then to the track..."
"I wonder if Your Highness can let Ming Zhong take up a post in the Ministry of Works? With such a great talent, he is in charge of the Ministry of Works and may supervise construction matters. He is quite competent."
This is a twist! It seems that I haven’t drunk too much. I knew I should bring something over 50 degrees. This 30 to 40 degree wine is the most refreshing in the mouth, and the pure grain wine is not as strong as the top...
They are all influenced by wine. Even though it was my first time to drink distilled wine and I kept drinking it, I was afraid that I would have to keep drinking it if I really wanted to get drunk.
"Ming Zhong is indeed a great talent. Xi will not stop his promotion..."
Zhao Xi valued Li Jie very much, even more than Lu Gongzhu and others, except that he could not compare with Su Song.
Although Zhao Xi felt a little unhappy about the imperial court's promotion of Li Jie, he was still happy to hear it.
Just like Xue Xiang, he really wanted to keep it handy, but he had to go through the court and didn't want people in the escort camp to use it easily.
Nowadays, the country will definitely usher in a wave of track laying. With Li Jie here, it means that we can take advantage of it...
Wait... Zhao Xi suddenly became alert.
To win over Li Jie, track laying will be the next focus of the court...
That's great! He's an old fox, even after drinking like this, he still doesn't forget to plot.
If the imperial court really uses Li Jie, Zhao Xi will never object. The question is, with today's court and orbit's profit prospects...can Li Jie really play a role? Or will he become the focus of entanglement between all parties?
If Li Jie uses this to expand his network of contacts and rise to great heights, Zhao Xi really doesn't care.
But if because of this, under the competition for the interests of all parties, he eventually becomes a victim...
There is no time limit for when he will ascend to the throne. By then, even if Zhao Xi uses Li Jie again, can he not forget his original intention?
It’s difficult! People’s experiences have a great impact on their character. They can change a person’s character to such an extent that they are completely different from each other.
For example, Fu Bi, Ouyang Xiu, and Han Qi were so high-spirited during the Qingli Year, but what about now?
It could be said that their father's uncertainty hurt their hearts, or it could be said that Fan Zhongyan's experience made them miserable.
Anyway, they are no longer who they are.
But the words have already been spoken. In fact, even if the words have not been spoken, Zhao Xi has no reason to block Li Jie's choice.
It suddenly felt a little cold in the box, and the atmosphere was very cold.
Just when Fu Bi proposed that Li Jie take up his post at the Ministry of Industry, the whole atmosphere seemed to have cooled down. It just felt like the situation was still the same, but the feeling had changed.
Zhao Xi was still in the middle with the princes, while the others just gathered around and continued to pour wine and drink, seemingly still simple listeners.
No one even looked up to see Li Jie...
In a sense, Li Jie was not really a member of the guard camp. Both the imperial court and the guard camp thought so.
Even the current dispatch is from the Ordnance Supervisor, not from the escort battalion.
It can be said that the guard camp recognized him. After this series of hard work, the guard camp still recognized him.
now……
Zhao Xi figured it out, and although he remained calm, he didn't mention the boredom in his heart.
Tracks were laid, and scholar-bureaucrats cleared roads for their hometowns, and even established a family business that could be passed down.
Zhao Xi can understand all of this, and even needs it in his plan.
Those who have permanent property have perseverance. This saying does not refer to landlords. In today's era, the land will not be damaged, and the change of dynasties will not harm the land.
This is why landlords have no sense of family and country.
Tracks, mines, including all industrial and commercial systems are different. Once war breaks out, it means complete losses.
Perhaps this kind of operation will create a new aristocratic family. Zhao Xi is not worried. The foundation of an aristocratic family is the country. Without the country, there will be no aristocratic family.
This is not a family of farming and studying, but a family of industry.
The reason why Zhao Xi continues to launch the beverage industry and take away the core technology is that he wants to have something to control his ministers in his future governance.
Once Li Jie enters the court and wanders in the intertwined circle of interests...it's hard to be sure whether the Li Jie of the future will be the Li Jie of today.
Now, it is not my own court.
"My dear Sirs, although I was born into a family of officials, I am still incapable of success. I was promoted by Your Highness at a young age and cannot withstand the praise of all my Sirs."
"From the southwest mining town to the current track laying, I have followed His Highness's rules and acted accordingly. There is nothing outstanding about it."
"Now that I am valued by my husband, I feel deeply frightened. It is not due to the credit of the emperor, nor to the labor of the emperor. I feel that I am not qualified to take on the duties of the court. I should receive more guidance from His Highness before I can be useful to the court."
Well, that's right, I kept the excuse and saved the face for my husband.
With just these few words, it was as if the atmosphere in the box melted instantly... It was just a feeling.
