Chapter 118 Dazhou Royal Bank

Since the Iron Hands Group was destroyed and the culprit was awarded the head, Yangzhou Governor Cui Liang, Chief History Wu Wendeng and other corrupt officials became like toothless tigers. Di Renjie soon found out the crimes and beheaded them. Head, those who dismissed from office, almost brought all the officials in Yangzhou into one pot.

Next, re-appointing officials and rectifying the administration of officials also cost Di Renjie and Zeng Tai a lot of thought, and Zhou You also asked Wu Zetian for orders and took over Hongtong Cabinet Workshop.

The so-called cabinet workshop is actually an ancient bank, which is equivalent to a bank in later generations, and it is a place to deposit and withdraw money.However, the operation mode of counter shops in this era is still relatively simple, and it is far less complicated than the banking system of later generations.

However, this Hongtong cabinet shop is the largest cabinet shop in the world, and its influence and strength are still very large. In some major state capitals in the country, there are basically Hongtong cabinet shops.

In the past, the Tieshoutuan stole official salt and sold it as private salt, and the money transaction was done through Hongtong counters, so that Ge Tianba helped sell large quantities of private salt, but he didn't even see any cash.

However, Ying Wang Yuanqi's way of operating the cabinet shop is still too simple, and it has not fully utilized the economic use that the cabinet shop should have.

Therefore, after Yuan Qi granted the leadership and his property was seized, Zhou You on a whim took the initiative to take over the operation of the cabinet workshop, proposed to Wu Zetian that the imperial court take over the cabinet workshop, and proposed many depositors to save money and lend money to obtain benefits , ways to promote business development

Wu Zetian knew that Zhou You was good at doing business, but Zhou You was not a money-greedy person, so he generously gave up a lot of benefits.Therefore, Wu Zetian, who didn't pay much attention to the cabinet workshop, handed it over to Zhou You to take care of it.

After Zhou You returned to Shendu, he also specifically suggested to Wu Zetian that in the future, such as canal protection funds and water households' water protection fees, the money can be distributed through the cabinet and supervised by the government, so that there will be no It is similar to the local management of embezzling funds and salaries for canal protection.

Moreover, the salaries of officers and soldiers such as important border towns can also be paid by letter through the counter. With the letter, the silver can be withdrawn at any time, instead of directly distributing the silver, it can also avoid the transportation safety problem of large amounts of money..

Some of Zhou You's proposals may seem bold, but Wu Zetian, as the first female emperor in Chinese history, has always been innovative and courageous.

Thinking of the case of interception of payment in the Northwest and the embezzlement of canal protection funds and payment by the Yangzhou Water Transport Yamen, Wu Zetian felt that Zhou You's proposal was very good, and the role of the counter shop should not be underestimated.

Therefore, under Zhou You's suggestion, Wu Zetian decreed to change the name of Hongtong Cabinet to the Dazhou Royal Bank, to guarantee the bank's reputation in the name of the court, and even to pilot it in Shendu first, and to pass the officials' salaries through the Dazhou Royal Bank. bank to issue.

Soon, the Dazhou Royal Bank was on fire.Wu Zetian even sent officials from the household department to the head office of the Dazhou Royal Bank in Shendu, and inspected by Yushitai, Neiwei and other parties to check the accounts and whereabouts of money on time.

Zhou You, who single-handedly contributed to the establishment of the Great Zhou Royal Bank, was naturally appointed by Wu Zetian as the president of the Great Zhou Royal Bank. This was not only Wu Zetian's reward for Zhou You's repeated contributions, but also his trust and reuse!

After the establishment of Dazhou Royal Bank, although it has the background of Hongtong Cabinet, due to its great reputation and more business, it is natural that Zhou You arranged to recruit a lot of staff who are good at coordinating accounts and granting them the status of petty officials. .

And the high-level executives of the Dazhou Royal Bank, such as the governors of the Zhou Mansion, were bestowed with official status by Wu Zetian. For the money bag of the Great Zhou court.

In the blink of an eye, two or three years have passed, and the Royal Bank of Dazhou, which has gradually embarked on the right track of development, has gradually matured in business and is in charge of a large number of savings and money lending transactions. In a sense, it has become another treasury of the imperial court. , is a veritable purse.

The Dazhou Royal Bank not only facilitated the storage and transaction of money, but also earned a lot of income through the loan business, and at the same time promoted the prosperity and development of commerce, which increased the annual business tax year by year and filled the treasury.

If a country wants to prosper and develop, money and food are always the most important thing, and it is its heritage.Zhou You's contribution to solving such a big problem for Da Zhou was so great that Wu Zetian was overjoyed and even made an exception to grant him the title of Marquis of Yongchang County.

Although the title is false, the food and salary are real, and the title is a symbol of status, it is life-long, unlike an official position that has a day of resignation.

After having the title, another advantage is that it can connect one's own luck with Da Zhou's luck.In fact, after the establishment of the Royal Bank of the Great Zhou, through the influence on the National Fortune of the Great Zhou, Zhou You was able to borrow the National Fortune of the Great Zhou through the sign-in system.

There are many benefits to controlling the power of the national destiny. After being able to borrow enough national destiny, this world is equivalent to a back garden for traveling around. development of.

In other words, if Zhou You can establish a dynasty in a world and gather the luck of a world into himself, then this world will become his logistics base.

Become the master of one world, Zhou You can have the ability to send people, resources and even soldiers and horses from one world to another world, and conquer another world through one world.

Of course, Zhou You also knew that in the prosperous and prosperous Da Zhou, it would undoubtedly be a thankless task for him to overthrow or replace Da Zhou and establish a new dynasty.

The best way is to allow yourself to have a higher position of power in this world, to be able to borrow more national power, to freely enter and exit this world, and even to take some people and materials away, which is to allow yourself to be in another world. Got off to a better start.

In order to get more luck power for oneself, besides improving one's status, the best way is naturally to enhance the national luck of Dazhou.

To enhance the country's destiny, the main thing is the country's prosperity, including internal prosperity, and external military deterrence.

Therefore, after the Dazhou Royal Bank was on the right track, Zhou You asked Emperor Wu Zetian to establish the Dazhou Royal Academy of Sciences, recruiting all kinds of highly skilled people, bringing forth the old and bringing forth the new, rewarding innovation, improving grain, farming tools and techniques, and various Equipment and ordnance, so that the grain output of Dazhou will be higher, the technical level of various industries will be higher, and the combat effectiveness of the army will also be improved.

In this regard, with the benefits brought by the Great Zhou Royal Bank, Wu Zetian naturally strongly supported Zhou You's intentions after hearing about it.Afterwards, the internal guards patrol and monitor the world, and there is also an additional task of looking for skilled talents in all aspects.

At the same time, under the leadership of Zhou You, the imperial court's Ordnance Bureau also began to mainly study various firearms..

With the birth of some powerful firearms, the armies on the border were gradually assembled. The power and deterrent effect of firearms in some small-scale frictional battles really surprised Wu Zetian, and it also increased the pressure on the royal family.
