Just as Chu Ren thought, after this run on, everyone saw the strength of Huitong Bank.The carloads of gold and silver are so reassuring.

People who have seen it with their own eyes spread word of mouth, and everyone wants to deposit money in Huitong Bank.

And Huitong Bank responded very quickly, and opened a branch in each of the four directions of Bianliang that day.The teller is the group of people who exchanged money at the entrance of the main store before.

Anyone who is smart can see that Huitong Bank has already prepared for this turmoil.

For a while, everyone was more willing to deposit their money in Huitong Bank. After all, a master who has no plans to spare is also a guarantee for depositors like them.

"That's right. A country as big as the government is well-managed, let alone a small bank. So let's just deposit the money in it with confidence."

"Yeah, even though the official family is busy, I have never heard of a lack of capable people in the hands of the official family. Just look at the treasurer Cao."

"Yes, but the current Huitong Bank is not a small bank. It is said that all the prefectures in the Song Dynasty have opened branches."

"I know this. It is said that those merchants are very fond of depositing money in Huitong Bank. Moreover, when they trade, they are no longer trading in real money. One party who delivers the goods only needs to give the deposit certificate of Huitong Bank."

"That would be much more convenient."

"That's right, I don't know how the Huitong Bank's certificate is made. You can tell if it's true or not with the thing they provide that emits blue light."

"Maybe it's the baby in the palace."

"It has nothing to do with me. I will take out the silver from Xu's Bank and deposit it in Huitong Bank."

"Didn't you say that the banks of the Xu family and the Chu family will give interest. It's the same when you deposit with their family."

"How can it be the same? Can the Xu family and the Chu family be compared as officials?"

"That makes sense."

Zhao Sheng sat in the private seat on the second floor of Fanlou, listening to the conversations of the guests.smile slightly.

As the strength of Huitong Bank is recognized more and more, his role will become more and more obvious.The purpose of Zhao Sheng's opening of this 'unprecedented' bank is to revitalize some 'dead money' that was buried by wealthy households.So that there will be no money shortage in the Song Dynasty market.

Only when money is in circulation can it play its role.

"Official, people are here."

"come in."

"Caomin has seen His Majesty." Chu Ren's mind is now blank.He was also deprived of most of his rights by the elders of his family yesterday because of the Huitong Bank.He still wanted to go back to his hometown and be silent for a few years before talking.

As a result, he saw Cao Min before the salute was finished.And then was brought here.

Although he had heard Cao Min say that he was going to see his master on the way, Chu Ren was still a little dizzy when he actually saw Da Song's master.

"Get up."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Zhao Sheng looked at Chu Ren who bowed his eyebrows. He knew from the investigation report of the Imperial City Division that this Chu Ren was not very old, but he was very capable.The Chu family is a business family in the Shu region. Chu Ren came from a collateral lineage. Through his own efforts, he was in charge of one of the largest businesses of the Chu family, the Chu family bank.

Moreover, he also knew that Chu Ren did not agree with the previous matter concerning Huitong Bank, but he would be greatly restricted by his status as the Chu family.

As far as he knew, the direct line of the Chu family was extremely hostile to him, even though Chu Ren had made a lot of money for the Chu family.

"Are you willing to do things for me?" Zhao Sheng didn't exchange pleasantries, and directly expressed his thoughts.

Hearing the sound, Chu Ren couldn't help but look up.

"Why? I don't want to." Zhao Sheng looked over.

Chu Ren was startled, and quickly lowered his head, not daring to look at Zhao Sheng.

"Being able to do things for His Majesty is the blessing of Caomin's cultivation for several generations, but Caomin's parents are still in their hometown and need to be taken care of by the family."

Zhao Sheng raised his eyebrows, it's no wonder that this person is somewhat submissive.The things in my hands were taken away when they were said to be taken away.It turned out that the parents were in the hands of others.

"He's a filial person. After you sign this agreement, your parents will naturally send someone to pick you up." This employee has good abilities, and now it seems that his character is also good. If he can help, he doesn't mind helping. a handful.It's an employee benefit.

When Chu Ren heard this, his eyes lit up several times.

To be honest, he didn't have any good feelings for the Chu family, on the contrary he was very tired of those people in the direct branch.If it wasn't for his parents, he would have left the Chu family long ago.Now that he had such an opportunity, Chu Ren decided in his heart that as long as the agreement was not excessive, he would sign it.

Then he read the agreement and found that the agreement was really generous.So good that he couldn't believe it.

"If you have no objections, sign it. You think the officials will be as petty as the Chu family." Seeing Chu Ren's stupid look, Cao Min hastily tugged at his sleeve.

Chu Ren immediately reacted and signed the agreement directly.

The agreement was in duplicate, and Zheng Yong packed up one of them. When passing by Chu Ren, he couldn't help but give him an envious look.

Zhao Sheng wants to build a comprehensive city in the outskirts of Bianliang, with industry as the mainstay, entertainment and life as the focus, and now the land leveling work has been done.Naturally, the construction of this city cannot be completed by him alone, and some private and official capital needs to be absorbed.

Most of his energy is currently spent on the border and the army, and this part of the matter needs to be taken care of by a person who is proficient in business.

Considering all aspects, Chu Ren is a very suitable candidate.It is precisely because of the presence of the Chu family that Chu Ren will not betray.

Zhao Sheng named the new city Qilin City, and drew up the first phase of the city's construction.This phase of the project is mainly to expand the small workshops under his name into small factories.Moved from Bianliang City to the new city.

These factories will absorb a lot of labor, and then some basic works can start.

In the upper reaches of the industrial zone, Zhao Sheng plans to build a playground, leisure center and other entertainment projects.In the middle is the residential area, and real estate can be done.

There are two purposes for Zhao Sheng to build a new city: First, Bianliang City is always flooded, and because the population is too dense and the houses are all wooden structures, there are frequent fires.The terrain of the new city will be much higher than Bianliang, and Zhao Sheng plans to use brick and tile structures.I believe that many people would like to live in a place that will not be flooded or burned.

Second, it is to make the construction of this new city a new economic growth point and increase the tax revenue of the country.

Fiscal health is very important for a government.

Thirdly, the world today is not safe and sound, and there are frequent natural and man-made disasters everywhere.With this new city, disaster victims will be able to find a job if they flood into Bianliang in the future.prevent civil unrest.

Chu Ren was a little dizzy again after reading the design drawings and listening to Zhao Sheng's overall plan. A city?He actually wants to build a city?

"Official, official, you. Do you want to build a city?"

"That's right, why, you don't have the confidence to do this well?" Zhao Sheng raised his eyebrows.

Chu Ren swallowed his saliva, this is a new city, if he becomes the builder of this city, his name will definitely go down in history.May I ask who in this world doesn't want to go down in history and be remembered by future generations.

"The grassroots will never let the officials down!" Chu Ren closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, his eyes were firm.It would be a fool to miss such an opportunity.

"Okay! I will never treat meritorious ministers badly. You, what kind of future your descendants have depends on you." As the emperor of the Song Dynasty, Zhao Sheng believed that what he could give his subordinates was anything else. People can't compare.

As for whether they can get it, it depends on their own ability.

In order to be able to build a city in his mind, Zhao Sheng had handed over some building materials, such as cement and brick production methods, to the Ministry of Industry.The finished product was made a few days ago, and the effect is said to be very good.

The advantage of Zhao Sheng being the emperor is that he doesn't need to do such things himself.As long as you tell him the method, there will naturally be the most professional people to give him what he wants.

If you have meritorious service, you will be rewarded. Zhao Sheng rewarded some literature and toys to the officials of the Ministry of Industry, and also rewarded some cloth and food to the artisans who contributed a lot.

These things can be put into the hands of artisans better than gold and silver, and they are also what they need.

Seeing the good news coming out one after another, Zhao Sheng knew that these things were not wrong.

This time, under Zhao Sheng's strong intervention in the impeachment case of Han Qi, many officials were dropped, from the central government to the local government.The impact it brought was also great, and Zhao Sheng's imperial power was greatly strengthened.

Zhao Sheng dismissed all the officials involved in the incident, and there was no relegation.Such a scourge is better to go home and eat your own.

Of course, those who have lawsuits will be punished according to the law.Those who ransack the house will go to jail.

As for Han Qi, Zhao Sheng is going to announce the canonical punishment and give a warning to those who come after him.

It's just that this matter has been opposed by most officials.It is all the same saying, that is, there has never been an example of Guochao killing a prime minister.

Zhao Sheng frowned, and it was his ancestors' family law again, so annoying.

It's just that he couldn't go his own way, so Zhao Sheng promoted Wang Anshi to the position of prime minister. The famous saying of this gentleman is "the changes of the sky are not to be feared, and the ancestors are not to be lawful".

Sure enough, after Wang Anshi became the first assistant, there were different voices about Han Qi's treatment.The reformist group headed by Wang Anshi gradually took shape.

Seeing that His Majesty has the support of the new Prime Minister, the intention to kill Han Qi becomes more and more obvious.The old-fashioned people couldn't sit still anymore, and they went to the Empress Dowager Cao, hoping that she would let the officials spare his life for the sake of Han Qi's hard work in the late emperor's reign.

Empress Dowager Cao has been preparing for the canonization of the queen during this period, because Zhao Sheng doesn't care much about this matter, so Empress Dowager Cao can only care more about it herself.She didn't know that her son wanted to kill Han Qi until those old ministers came to her.

Then she learned about the specific situation. Although she was dissatisfied with Han Qi relying on the old to sell the old, she still didn't want her son to provoke public anger.Empress Dowager Cao watched Emperor Renzong behave like an emperor, so she naturally felt that officials should do that.

After Zhao Sheng listened to his own mother's persuasion, he didn't feel much emotion in his heart.His mother wanted him to be an emperor like his father, that was absolutely impossible, it was too embarrassing.

"Ma'am, I want to give an explanation to the people of the world. As for the ancestral family law, the country has gone through several generations, and the ancestral family law is not static. What I do today can also be called the ancestral family law in the future. Madam, I also want to be a benevolent monarch, but God will not grant it." If the benevolence continues, the descendants of the Zhao family will be treated like cows and horses.

"What does the official mean?"

"Ma'am, everything my son does is for the sake of the world and the Zhao family. No one can stop me." Zhao Sheng's attitude was extremely firm.

Empress Dowager Cao stopped talking immediately.
