In the palace of Tiger Roar City, Chu Feifan was reviewing the memorial in front of him. At this time, he had already returned to the court for three days.
He has been hoarding government affairs for a month, waiting for his final decision. In the past few days, the allocation of officials in various state governments has been his biggest worry.
Di Renjie returned from inspecting the various states and summarized the situation in various places. Chu Feifan realized this time that there were serious problems in various places due to the rapid development of the country.
There is still half a month left before the opening of courses to obtain academic qualifications, but the governance of each state capital is urgent. It is about to enter early winter. If the problems existing in each state capital cannot be properly handled, I am afraid that people everywhere will complain.
"Xiao Guizi, please order Fang Xuanling, Zhang Liang, Wen Boya, and Zhuge Liang to come to the Imperial Study Room."
Xiao Guizi took the order and left. As soon as he walked out of the imperial study, he turned around and returned, shaking the whisk in his hand, cupping his fists and saluting.
"Your Majesty, Shen Wansan wants to see you!"
"Shen Wansan?"
Chu Feifan had been fighting for more than a month and almost forgot about Shen Wansan. He must have come here now because he had some clues about the bank affairs.
"Tell him to enter the palace!"
"It is said that Shen Wansan has entered the palace!"
A long and thin voice sounded, and Shen Wansan walked into the palace with a happy face, and knelt down to greet him.
"Weak minister Shen Wansan, pay homage to the Emperor!"
"Get flat!"
Chu Feifan suddenly raised his head, put down his imperial brush, glanced sideways at Xiao Guizi, and gave him a wink.
Xiao Guizi stood up and walked out of the hall. His figure suddenly rose and moved to Shen Wansan's side.
"How about it, it's been a month, has the bank already figured out something?"
"Your Majesty, the bank matter has come to an end, and I have chosen a suitable place among the five cities."
"Now I need the emperor's help. As long as the emperor asks, the bank can open at any time!"
Shen Wansan's eyes were firm and strategizing, and his eyes stayed on Chu Feifan.
"Let's hear about the five cities Shen Qing chose to locate!"
"Your Majesty, the Chu State is bounded by Wancheng in the north, Ziwei City in the south, Longwei City in the west, Dongling City in the east, and Huxiao City, the central imperial capital."
"The location selection is pretty good. Since everything is well prepared, if you need any help from me, it doesn't matter."
"Since the minister came to see the emperor, of course he needs financial help!"
"money!"
"How about I give you five million taels of gold? Can it satisfy your wish to open the Wucheng Bank?"
Chu Feifan said in a calm voice with a gentle voice.
"Enough, enough!"
"Your Majesty, this is really a generous act!"
Shen Wansan's eyes flashed with burning eyes, his expression was unnecessarily excited, and his trembling voice sounded.
"Shen Qing, the bank will open soon. Don't let me down!"
"Your Majesty, I will definitely live up to my expectations. I also hope that your Majesty will bestow a name on the bank."
"Give me a name?"
Chu Feifan pondered for a long time, a flash of light flashed across his eyes, and he said in a strong voice: "The best village in the world."
"The best village in the world?"
"overbearing!"
"The emperor is the master behind the scenes of the No. 1 village in the world. The rest can be left to the minor ministers."
"Shen Qing, there are all kinds of businesses in the world. Once the bank opens and makes a profit, Shen Qing can get involved in other industries."
Shen Wansan was so smart that he heard the hidden meaning of Chu Feifan's words and asked doubtfully: "What does the emperor mean?"
"Shen Qing, people in the world value food, clothing, housing and transportation most, so these four major industries cannot be given up at any time. As for how to operate them, it depends on Shen Qing's ability."
“Food, clothing, housing and transportation!”
Shen Wansan muttered, with a strong look of excitement on his face, and glanced sideways at Chu Feifan, his eyes full of piety.
"Shen Qing, I will send someone to deliver five million taels of gold to your house. As for how to use it, I will not ask. After half a year, I will see the results, and Shen Qing understands!"
"Understood, Wei Chen will do his best!"
Chu Feifan still has great confidence in Shen Wansan's ability and believes that he will not let him down.
Shen Wansan left the imperial study, Xiao Guizi came to pass the news, Fang Xuanling, Zhuge Liang, Zhang Liang and others arrived.
"Wei minister pays homage to the emperor!"
The five people entered the hall and saluted with clasped fists. After Chu Feifan motioned for them to sit down, Fang Xuanling's figure rose up.
"Your Majesty, the edict to open private schools has been issued to the state capitals. Anyone who is willing to establish a private school will be rewarded with one hundred taels of silver. In addition, he can go to the Yamen of the state capital every month to receive ten taels of silver as salary."
"Xuan Ling has done a good job in this matter. It has just started and has not yet formed a large scale. When the education system is perfected in the future, all the salaries of all private school teachers who teach and educate people will be uniformly distributed by the empire."
"The emperor is still thoughtful and considerate, which is beyond the reach of humble ministers!"
"Xuan Ling, Huai Ying, Kong Ming, Zifang, Boya, I came to see you this time to discuss how to advance the start of your studies."
"Right now, there is a serious vacancy of officials in various states. If they cannot be replenished in time, I am afraid that the people in each state will be in turmoil."
"Your Majesty, the ministers agree to advance the imperial examination. The situation in each state capital is complicated. If it cannot be managed effectively, it is not impossible for turmoil to occur."
"In addition, Wei Chen feels that the division of Wu and Chu regions needs to be re-planned. Hearing that the emperor divided the Yanjin Empire into two prefectures, Wei Chen feels that this method is advisable."
"The place where the highest imperial power exists in the capital is divided into counties, prefectures, prefectures, and counties. Each prefecture superintendent manages the prefectures, prefectures, and counties, and transmits all situations to the capital, where they are reviewed by the Zhongshu Order and approved by the emperor."
"In this way, the chances of mistakes in management can be reduced, and the style of Wu Chu as a great country can be better demonstrated."
Hear the sound.
Chu Feifan thought for a long time, nodded slightly, and expressed his agreement with Di Renjie's proposal, and decided to re-plan the land of Chu after the imperial examination.
All counties, prefectures, prefectures, and counties will be re-divided, and military garrison offices will be established in various places. The generals will be responsible for guarding the security of each county and prefecture.
"Huaiying, Zifang, the matter of establishing a political system is left to the two of you to discuss. I want to see the implementability of the memorial."
"Xuanling, Boya, and Kongming, I will leave it to you three to advance the imperial examination. The imperial examination will begin at Guozi Temple in the Imperial City in three days."
"Your Majesty, the imperial examination will begin on the third day, but what should be the questions?"
"Don't worry, my dear friends, just prepare. I will send someone to deliver the exam questions in three days."
"At the same time, the imperial martial arts test will be held together. Let Bai Qi, Huo Qubing, Yue Fei, Li Yuanba, and Ran Min serve as examiners to supervise the selection of the imperial martial arts test."
After the five people took the order and left, Chu Feifan began to think about the literary test questions, and time flew by.
Chu Feifan's expression was solemn. He thought it was just a simple matter to determine the test questions, but he felt it was inappropriate to list hundreds of questions in succession.
"Whoa!"
His figure suddenly rose up, striding out of the band, and a sonorous and powerful voice sounded.
"Xiao Guizi, let's drive to Ningxiang Palace!"
After returning to the imperial city for three full days, Chu Feifan was busy with government affairs and had only met Nangong Xi once. His thoughts were complicated at the moment, so he decided to go to Ningxiang Palace for some quiet time.
Asking for rewards, asking for recommendation votes, and asking for monthly votes.
