Fu Qin starts with a plan

Chapter 524 A Huge Problem Facing Daqin
Daqin National Bank is an institution that combines the functions of a central bank and a commercial bank.

If it only has the function of a commercial bank, having a lot of money is nothing to Chen Ping at all.

Commercial banks only need to make profits through the interest rate difference between deposits and loans, even if they have completed their jobs.

Now Daqin commercial banks are everywhere, private small and medium-sized workshops and various engineering teams are eager to empty the bank's money bank.

But now people have developed the habit of depositing spare money in the bank.

In this regard, it can be said that the Daqin National Bank is the wealthiest institution in human history.

However, as a national bank that needs to regulate the economy, the current situation of the Daqin National Bank is extremely bad.

For the National Bank, having too much money is actually the original sin.

Now Chen Ping has become more and more aware of the truth that the so-called gold and silver coins themselves have no real value.

Real wealth is not these things.

The Daqin National Bank already has the right to mint coins, gold, silver and copper coins, how much can't it make?

And wealth is produced in the process of currency circulation.

The amount of currency must be linked to actual wealth, not as much as you want.

However, Chen Ping found that there was more and more money in the treasury recently.

Mints were producing fewer and fewer coins.

This is a very scary signal!

This means that Daqin's wealth has stopped growing.

Both common people and commercial firms have tended to be conservative and like to deposit money in the bank.

This discovery made Chen Ping sleepless at night.

Especially after getting accurate data from the Market Supervision Bureau, Chen Ping became anxious immediately.

Overcapacity, resulting in a backlog of goods.

The main reason is the limited market.

But Chen Ping thought that from the perspective of the bank, it might be able to stimulate through some operations.

However, there is no precedent for this kind of thing, and Chen Ping does not dare to make a good claim.

Chen Ping had submitted three memorials to Xianyang Palace before, but all of them fell to the ground, and Ying Zheng did not reply at all.

Since Fusu supervised the country, a large number of new people have been activated and many new institutions have been established.

A strange situation occurred in the Great Qin Dynasty Hall.

On the one hand, the emperor presided over the court with the framework of the Sangong Jiuqing, and on the other hand, Zhao Kun established another court based on the National Bank, the Market Supervision Bureau, and the Supervisory Bureau with the help of Fusu.

Now, what Chen Ping is thinking about is how to write this memorial.

Although the first emperor sits in charge, there is no conflict between the old and the new court.

But it is undeniable that the officials of the old-fashioned court actually do not understand the current Daqin.

The main reason why Chen Ping's memorial has not been dealt with is that the officials of the old court do not understand the problems facing Daqin today.

what?
Are there still people who are bothered by too much money?
The big joke of slipping the world!

Although Ying Zheng wouldn't take it for granted, it was obvious that he couldn't handle this situation.

Now Ying Zheng has a very clear position on himself, that is to defend the current situation for Zhao Kun.

He would rather not do it than do it wrong.

As a result, before Zhao Kun came back, all the problems encountered in Daqin were temporarily suppressed.

The tax rate issue, which Yingzheng only intervened in, has been put on hold until now because of the opposition of the businessmen.

Of course, the matter can be rebuilt and handed over to Fusu, but what happened before Fusu still makes many people feel bad.

He thought he wanted to murder Zhao Kun, especially those newly promoted officials who had a lot of opinions on Fusu.

Therefore, starting Fusu now, in the eyes of the first emperor, is not a conscious choice.

Just like that, the whole Xianyang was in melancholy, waiting for Zhao Kun to return.

And Nanyue County on the other side.

Zhao Kun is checking the secret letter written by Zhang Han.

"The reaction is quite sharp. Since he has his own plan, why not use his plan to investigate the Yin-Yang Palace by the way!"

Zhao Kun said, and handed the secret letter to Jiang Chao.

Jiang Chao took a look at the secret letter, frowned and said, "According to the content of Zhang Han's letter, this Mo Hu should be plotting something, don't we need to intervene?"

"Didn't the delay in handing over the South Vietnamese military power back then be just waiting for my eldest brother and I to come, so that we could be imprisoned and my father blackmailed?"

Zhao Kun smiled disdainfully, and said again: "Now that I'm focusing on Zhang Han, it seems that I'm eyeing Zhang Han's military power!"

"Oh, to be specific, it should be Zhang Han's new weapon. I think they have seen the power of the new weapon!"

"In this case, why don't we forcefully take over the military power of South Vietnam?"

"Military power can be seized at any time, but this is not appropriate."

Zhao Kun shook his head and said: "What we can know is that Zhao Tuo colluded with Yinyang Palace, including this Mo Hu, who presumably knew about it, so if we win the military power now, we will lose their news, and we will look for it later. It's even harder for them."

"Okay, just follow Zhang Han's plan, and I'll send someone to assist him secretly!"

"Well, I'll write back a letter later, and you ask someone to give it to him, oh yes, give him two of the new gadgets I brought from Xianyang!"

"Give two? Is it a bit too much, and there are not many in total?"

Jiang Chao frowned, obviously reluctant.

But Zhao Kun smiled indifferently: "Before we beat others secretly, and now we don't give some benefits, how can others express their loyalty?"

"That's right, hit a stick and give a date?"

"Haha, Commander Jiang is a quick learner!"

Zhao Kun laughed for a while, then suddenly remembered something, restrained his smile and said, "Did you send someone to investigate your matter?"

"That tribe has disappeared, there is no way to find it, and I don't think it is necessary, it can live"

"It's unnecessary! I want you to live forever!"

Hearing Jiang Chao's words, Zhao Kun immediately turned his face and shouted violently.

Jiang Chao's expression was stunned, and he seemed a little at a loss.

At this moment, Wang Ya rushed in from the door with Tao Hua, thinking that she was fine just now, why did she suddenly get angry?

"Husband, husband, are you okay?"

Wang Ya cautiously came to Zhao Kun's side, grabbed his sleeve, and looked at Jiang Chao with puzzled eyes.

Tao Hua was standing at the door holding a tray with two bowls of steaming hot soup on it.

She was also startled by Zhao Kun's shout.

However, Zhao Kun didn't care about them, and just looked at Jiang Chao solemnly: "Jiang Wa'er, I treat you like my own brother, I hope you will take this matter seriously!"

"But."

Jiang Chao looked at Zhao Kun responsibly, hesitated for a while, and then said in a low voice: "I have very little information here, and my father never told me anything about the clan, so there is no way to find out."

"Your father was brought back by General Wang. The Wang family should know something about your family. First investigate from the old general of the Wang family. Since I have come to South Vietnam, I cannot return empty-handed!" Zhao Kun said without doubt.

"Whether it's about your clan, Yin Yang Palace, or other things, I have to deal with it when I come to Nanyue this time!"

As he spoke, he yelled to the outside world: "Get someone to find Zhang Liang, and tell him that I need to find him!"

"promise."

There was a promise outside the door, and he left the inn quickly.

"call."

Zhao Kun took a deep breath, calmed down his emotions, then walked to Tao Hua, picked up two bowls of soup, handed one to Jiang Chao, put the other on his mouth, and took a few sips.

Immediately afterwards, he exhaled another burst of hot air, and said to Wang Ya: "Yamei, the soup tastes good, but there is a little too much soup, so put less next time!"

"Oh, good husband."

Wang Ya reacted for a while, then walked to Zhao Kun's side in small steps, and muttered: "Your husband is not angry with Jiang Wa'er?"

"When did you see me angry, I just have a bad throat, so yell!" Zhao Kun said with a straight face.

"whee."

Wang Ya covered her mouth and snickered: "My husband really likes to deceive himself and others. He obviously cares about Jiang Wa'er very much. I know that."

"Go, go, don't you want to go shopping, let Taohua accompany you, don't bother me here!"

Zhao Kun waved his hand pretending to be impatient.

Wang Ya jumped up happily: "Really, husband, you finally let the concubine go out?"

"Go ahead, bring Su Liya's mother and son with you, and let her see the customs of Daqin!" Zhao Kun nodded.

"Good husband, then I will go with Taohua."

As Wang Ya said, she happily pulled Taohua out of the room.

After watching them leave, Zhao Kun turned his gaze back to Jiang Chao, and saw him holding the soup and drinking it happily.

He didn't take Zhao Kun's scolding just now into his heart at all.

After he finished drinking, Zhao Kun asked again: "Has Ying Yinman come to South Vietnam?"

"Well, there is news that she has come." Jiang Chao put down the bowl and said flatly.

"What are you going to do with it?"

"I want to meet her first and understand her true thoughts. If she is not good for the young master, I may kill her."

"you"

Zhao Kun was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Jiang Chao to be so decisive.

But after careful reflection, he doesn't seem to like to be muddled about anything.

"My father's meaning has been conveyed. I will handle this matter with full power. I want to hand over the power to you. No matter how you choose, I will support you!"

"Actually, I still want to talk to her."

"Well then, you decide for yourself!"

Zhao Kun nodded, not wanting to delve into this issue.

Just when the two fell silent again, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door.

The two looked up, but saw that it was the herald from the palace and an old man.

Zhao Kun had seen this old man before, and he seemed to be from a farming family.

"The minister has seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

"Caomin pay homage to the prince!"

As soon as the herald and the old man saw Zhao Kun, they saluted him respectfully.

Zhao Kun reacted, raised his hand with a smile and said, "You two are welcome."

"Thank you, Your Royal Highness."

The herald stood up straight and cupped his hands towards Zhao Kun: "Prince Kun, I am ordered by His Majesty to come here to convey His Majesty's order to Prince Kun."

As he spoke, he took out a secret letter and handed it to Zhao Kun: "Your Majesty has ordered that you don't need to report to him what the crown prince did in South Vietnam, and you can handle it yourself. In addition, your majesty hopes that the crown prince will return to the country as soon as possible."

"It's time to thank you."

Zhao Kun nodded with a smile, then raised his hand to signal: "Your envoy, sit down for a while."

"No need, I have to go back to Beijing to report to His Majesty."

"So anxious? But what happened?"

"Back to His Royal Highness, everything is fine in Xianyang, but there are some problems at the Chamber of Commerce, and there are some difficulties in the bank. Before my minister left, Prime Minister Zuo asked me to investigate the bank revenue and expenditure of the counties along the way."

After speaking, he looked at the sky outside, and said again: "It's getting late, and I have to go to the next county. I hope His Highness the Crown Prince will forgive me!"

"It's okay, let's go."

Zhao Kun waved his hand and watched the herald leave.

At this time, the old man suddenly said: "This time I came to Nanyue, thanks to Wu Langling, Wu Langling is a conscientious person."

"Hehe, Mr. Chen, long time no see!"

Hearing the old man's words, Zhao Kun suddenly turned his head and said with a smile, "Old Chen must have come to Nanyue to bring good news to Kun!"

"I really can't hide anything from His Royal Highness. Yes, this time I came to Nanyue, it is about hybrid rice. New progress has been made. We have experimented on a few acres of fields, and the results are good. I want to come to Nanyue for further experiments!" The old man stroked his beard and said with a smile.

"really?"

Zhao Kun's eyes widened, and he said in surprise: "Is hybrid rice really feasible?"

"Yes, it's completely believable. As long as a few more generations are cultivated, excellent varieties should be able to be cultivated!"

"That's great!"

Zhao Kun excitedly said: "Nanyue just happens to have high-yield rice seeds, which are grown twice a year. If we cultivate them with this, we will be able to reap miraculous results!"

"Maybe we can breed rice seeds that can be harvested three times a year!"

"Three ripes a year!?"

Hearing Zhao Kun's words, the old man was startled.

"Mr. Chen doesn't have to doubt it. It's possible. I just plan to develop South Vietnam. There are high-yield grains. It's really like a tiger with wings!"

"The prince plans to develop South Vietnam?"

"Yes, there are many benefits to developing South Vietnam. You must have encountered something when you came to this place, right?"

"Indeed."

The old man nodded and admitted: "In the beginning, we cultivated grain seeds in Sichuan, because we recruited experienced farmers, so the research was relatively safe."

"But later, those farmers quit their jobs in researching new improved varieties one after another, and went to factories instead."

"Based on the principle of not forcing recruitment, we have hired some new farmers, but as time goes by, there are fewer and fewer local farmers, and even farming is not enough manpower!"

"My brother heard that the prince came to South Vietnam, so he asked me to bring the latest research news on hybrid rice to ask the prince how to deal with this matter!"

Hearing this, Zhao Kun already understood the root of the matter.

Although the appearance of potatoes and sweet potatoes made Daqin no longer worried about famine.

But those two things are actually not nutritious.

When there is a shortage of food, you can fill your stomach, but you can't eat it all day long.

Strictly speaking, today's Daqin is still in a state of food shortage all year round.

Even, because it takes more land to grow potatoes and sweet potatoes, the production of other grains has been reduced to a certain extent.

Now the vision of Daqin officials has gradually become higher.

They believe that the standard of a rich country is definitely not just enough to feed the people.

It should be one of Daqin's pursuits to make the common people eat well!

However, the area of ​​land is limited, because the factory has allocated a lot of labor, resulting in insufficient farming manpower.

This has now become a huge problem facing Daqin.
