Starting from Li Chengqian, the prince of the Qing Dynasty, to be honored

Chapter 42 Arrangement
Li Chengqian glanced at these people in the hall indifferently, but he was not worried that they were playing tricks among them.

One of the advantages of being a prince is that in such a relatively marginal political system, there is no need to gain prestige through means such as the appointment of a new official.

In this era, his status as the crown prince naturally has enough prestige.

He turned his head, looked at Li Chengze who was at the side, and said, "Second brother, if you have any ideas, you can open up and chat here."

Li Chengze shook his head, and said: "I don't have much experience in these things, everything is based on what His Highness the Crown Prince says."

Before the court, he asked to participate in this matter together, one was to test Emperor Qing's intentions, and the other was to share the credit for the crown prince's completion of this matter, and of course he also found some hidden ways to let the crown prince pass this matter on. The thought of getting things done.

However, now he naturally doesn't want to cause trouble in it, and even after yesterday, he originally thought that after today, he would either claim to be sick in the government, or directly write to His Majesty to resign from the title of deputy commander.

However, since the crown prince hinted that he would continue to show Emperor Qing the drama of brotherly rivalry, he would naturally not be able to complain of illness or resign from office.

In fact, even if he didn't do anything, he had already expressed his uncompromising position with the prince.

After all, once the crown prince completes this task, although he will be credited a lot, but the existence of his deputy commander can naturally give at least [-]% of the credit for it.

And this was what he had thought before.

It just circled around and returned to the original point.

Hearing this, Li Chengqian nodded slightly, and then began to think about how to revitalize the Qingguo post office.

He is definitely not professional, but after some research, combined with what he saw and heard in his previous life, he also roughly summed up the problems.

First of all, with Qing Guo's continuous investment, although the postal service has no business, the basic configuration has been developed fairly well.

However, the structure of the entire postal system is distorted and disorderly, but it is very obvious.

Because the position of commander has been vacant, it can be said that there has never been a real officer from top to bottom.

The postal stations on Shangxiajiu Road in Qingguo are basically in a state of doing their own thing and not interfering with each other.

Resources are not integrated at all.

Secondly, not to mention the low quality, the price is also very expensive.

As he said before, sending a letter costs one tael of silver. Except for a few officials and officials, how can ordinary people afford it?I'm afraid that if I take a second look, I'm afraid that the postmen will charge him a few pennies.

One tael of silver per letter is enough, and the speed of postal delivery is beyond words.

Not only that, in many cases, in order to post a letter, the loss of horses and food along the way cannot be made up for by a tael of silver.

It is completely thankless, relying solely on the money in the internal treasury to maintain the operation of the entire system.

And this is by no means a long-term solution.

His current plan is to use the fastest time to complete the adjustment of the postal structure and establish a new order.

Then, on the one hand, through the cooperation with Fuyao Newspaper and several other powerful newspapers in Kyoto, and through the sale of newspapers throughout the Qing Dynasty, the trend of losing money was stopped.

Then use the dissemination of newspapers to promote step by step, establish the popularity and reputation of the postal service, and receive various businesses including mailing letters.

Of course, the postage price must be lowered, and the sky-high price of one tael per letter is definitely not advisable.

Just how to charge specifically, he still needs to analyze the data from various places.

When the time comes, he will simultaneously release stamps that match it.

It just happened to be able to form a linkage with the bank he established a few months ago, not long after the Fuyao newspaper was established.

His bank is located in the bustling streets of the four cities of Kyoto. It has not started to open to the public, but was established specifically for a series of issues sold by the new newspaper.

Because the sales of Xinbao brought in a large amount of copper coins, transportation and exchange were very troublesome.

He simply set up four banks directly, and exchanged bills with Fuyao Newspaper Office.

Of course, his expectations for these banks are not limited to this.

He hopes that the bank he established will one day be open all over the world and act as a central bank to regulate the world's economy and promote banknotes for him in the future.

And these days, the reason why these banks are so low-key is not only that they have not advertised in their own newspapers, but they are not open to the outside world.

One is because he was really keeping a low profile. After all, he was in the limelight because of the new newspaper and managed to quell the turmoil between the government and the opposition.

One is because he was not sure about running a bank well.

In empty words, he can naturally say one, two, three, four, what absorbs depositors' funds, pays interest, and then invests or something.

After all, with the keyboard in hand, I own the world.

But in practice, it is not so easy.

Of course, he can also directly recruit people from other banks, but the bank he wants is not the bank of this era, but the central bank that can regulate the world's economy. Naturally, he cannot recruit people whose thinking has solidified.

What he needs is a person who is proficient in economics and can understand his demands. Loyalty is naturally indispensable.

After thinking about it, he may only be able to get a candidate who suits him so well through a random recruitment order.

However, it is worth mentioning that even though he has built four banks in the capital, he has never won even a chance to draw a lottery.

His thoughts of thinking about ways to earn some lucky draw chances fell to nothing.

It seems that similar to this kind of incident, only when it reaches a certain level of influence can it be regarded as a completed judgment of an incident.

Now, by taking the opportunity of promoting stamps, he can try to bring in his bankers.

With the help of the major reform of the postal service and the promotion of the Fuyao newspaper to the entire Qing Dynasty, it is impossible for him to directly win the unprecedented three lucky draws this time.

He was quite looking forward to this.

……

Princess Palace.

Between the red lights and the green tiles, in the attic, Li Yunrui sat quietly, with a gorgeous appearance, above the temples, the golden steps flashed under the candlelight, and she was dressed in a graceful and luxurious black skirt, showing her plump figure to the fullest. outside.

She quietly listened to the female officer's detailed narration, for a long time, she lowered her eyes slightly, hiding a little bit of annoyed eyes.

She asked in a flat tone: "By the way, does the internal treasury have a batch of money that needs to be allocated to the postal route in the near future, and find a reason to suppress it."

The female official was slightly surprised, as Li Yunrui's confidant, she naturally knew the relationship between the crown prince and the eldest princess.

Now that the crown prince has applied for an official position and mastered the postal route, and the eldest princess has cut off the supply of money at such a critical moment, wouldn't she just want to fight against the crown prince?
She didn't quite understand it, but she also knew her duty.

So, after being slightly surprised, she immediately responded, "Yes."
