Daming Yuanfu

Chapter 1474 Reserve Storage (Part [-])
The emperor and empress and his party have already returned to the palace, and Princess Yongning has also returned to the princess mansion. Gao Yushi is standing by the window sill of his study, looking at the double dragon playing with pearls in the square in front of the building (four claws, the same level as his python robe, not exceeding the limit) The big fountain, in a daze, didn't know what he was thinking.

After an unknown amount of time, Liu Xin's voice came from behind: "Is Da Sinong thinking about the meaning of life, or thinking about the fate of human beings, and he is so preoccupied that he can't even hear the knock on the door?"

As soon as Gao Wushi turned his head, he saw Liu Xin standing at the door with a smile, but that smile seemed to be teasing no matter what.

He pursed his lips and spread his hands: "I was just thinking that there is indeed a big difference between men's thinking and women's thinking."

"That's for sure." Liu Xin smiled: "For example, at this time, you don't say 'please come in', I think the difference in thinking is quite big."

Gao Wushi laughed: "I thought it's over like this, you should have regarded this place as your own home."

"How dare I! I'm not Huang Zhiting, nor Meng Gu Zhezhe, I can't even compare to the fourth princess just now, how dare I treat this place as my own home?" After saying that, she walked in Shi Shiran, Find yourself a high-back chair and sit down.

Gao Wushi left the window, walked not far from her, moved a chair and sat down, raised Erlang's legs in a very inconspicuous manner, and asked, "You are not here to protest, are you?"

"Protest? No, no, no, I have nothing to protest." Liu Xin stretched out a stack of letters and said, "This is the reply from the Beijing officials after you made the news. I took a rough look, and more than 70 officials said Willing to invest and buy an original stock in the 'Ming Fed'."

"Oh?" Gao Wushi seemed a little surprised, and pondered: "The minimum standard for Minglian Reserve to invest in shares is to invest 1 taels of Kuping silver, and it cannot be withdrawn for ten years. How many people can come up with this money?"

"Hey, do you have any misunderstanding about their economic strength?" Liu Xin frowned and said, "That's not true. I remember you told me that in history, Li Zicheng got more than 7000 million yuan in silver in just a few days in the capital." At that time, there were only 17 taels of gold and 13 taels of silver in the warehouse of the imperial palace.

The wealth of the nobles and hundreds of officials in the capital can be seen from this. Now you, the God of Wealth, want to set up the Ming Federal Reserve. It is clear that it must be another way to make a fortune, and the capital required is so large that even Beiyang can’t make up enough. How big is this? business?Some of them have missed your ways to get rich in the past. If they miss it again this time, wouldn’t they regret it for the rest of their lives?

In order not to cry and regret in the future, it is reasonable to not care about saying that my family is poor now!What is it to take ten thousand taels of silver?To be honest, I think if it weren't for your restrictions on the proportion of investment this time, this mere 3000 million taels of silver, maybe you can get nothing out of it yourself. "

Gao Wushi smiled wryly, and said helplessly, "If I didn't take up the proportion of the first shareholder, they might still be able to bear it before I die, but after I die... Oh, who knows what kind of hell devil this Ming Fed will become."

"Let me just say you have the mentality of a parent. What can Minglian Reserve become? It is the ancient version of the Federal Reserve. But so what, although the Federal Reserve is controlled by several big families, after all, the chairman in front of the stage is always a professional Broker, there is still a special person in charge of the usual operation, right?"

Gao Yushi spread his hands: "In this day and age, professional brokers are not so easy to find, especially for a 'central bank' like the Ming Fed that is above the financial system, and it is not easy to find a cat or a dog to take the helm." He paused at this point, and asked, "By the way, what does my cousin say? Is he willing to be the first president?"

"Gao Guoyan? He was not very happy at first, because according to the Jinghua restructuring plan drafted by me, he should be the president of Jinghua Bank. He thinks this position is the most suitable for him."

Gao Wushi raised his eyebrows: "You said 'in the first place', that is to say, he changed his mind in the end? Did you convince him?"

"Otherwise?" Liu Xin sighed: "I told him, not only are you extremely busy now, but you also deliberately make the Ming Fed very independent, and are not even under the control of the Ministry of Household Affairs. In this way, you will also be the Ming Fed The president is not suitable. But, there is no one in Jinghua who is more suitable than him to do this job, so we have to let him work harder and hold two jobs?"

Gao Wushi thought for a while, and said, "The president of Jinghua Bank also serves as the president of the Ming Fed... Actually, I think it's quite appropriate, what do you think?"

"From your point of view, I also think it's quite suitable." Liu Xin said: "In addition to personal ability, the system you set up determines that this position must be taken by someone you can trust enough."

She paused, and then said: "Speaking of abilities, I have read the summary reports of Jinghua's various ministries in recent years, and there are a few people worthy of attention."

Gao Wushi nodded: "Which ones?"

"The first one is Shuai Jiamo. Since he entered Jinghua, he has held four positions in total. He has done a good job in each position, and he has never made any mistakes. I think this should be a very meticulous person, worthy of reuse. .”

Gao Wushi said: "After the Philippines is defeated, I plan to let Shuai Jiamo become the Luzon General and Chief of Staff of the Jinghua Advisory Group of the Luzon Kingdom."

This answer seemed to surprise Liu Xin: "I thought you'd let him be the president of Maritime Trade."

Gao Wushi shook his head and said, "There is another candidate for the president of Haimao, guess what?"

"Since it's not Shuai Jiamo, then I guess it's probably Wu Xun. But your nephew has not been in Jinghua for a long time, and you are not very old..."

Gao Wushi raised his eyebrows: "I'm not too old, am I?"

"Pfft!" Liu Xin couldn't help laughing: "If you want to compare this way, he can still meet the requirements to be the president of Haitou." Then she paused and continued: "The second person I wanted to recommend is Him, since you have already decided, I will skip him first and talk about the third person."

"Go ahead."

"The third place is your student and schoolboy back then: Cao Ke."

Gao Wushi pondered for a while, and said, "He is already a Xiaolian (juren), Cao Gan is willing to let him continue to work in Jinghua instead of fighting for a Jinshi?"

"Cao Gan thinks so, but Cao Ke himself doesn't like it." Liu Xin spread her hands: "The father and son have written seven or eight letters back and forth with me, and they couldn't agree at all. But in the end, Cao Gan gave in. , allow Cao Ke to decide for himself."

Gao Wushi was a little surprised: "This is a bit unexpected, Cao Gan is so talkative now?"

"It's not that he's easy to talk to, but he's forced to be helpless." When Liu Xin said this, it seemed that she couldn't help laughing.

Gao Wushi looked strange and asked, "What's wrong?"

Liu Xin suppressed a smile and said, "Cao Ke said that if he is forced to take the Jinshi exam, he will never marry. Cao Gan is such an only son, and he was so furious by this trick that he couldn't think about it, so he had to hold his nose and admit it. "

Gao Wushi laughed loudly: "Good boy, you have some ability, this is called a one-hit kill."

"Did you learn it from your teacher?" Liu Xin raised her eyebrows and asked.

Gao Wushi shook his head: "I have never been forced to do such a thing. My goal is set by myself, but it happens to be very consistent with my family's ideas."

"That's right, you are a well-known family in Zhongzhou. I can only count on you when I look at your generation. Your younger brothers are basically in the imperial examination... well, I'm afraid there is nothing to do."

Gao Wushi sighed: "Perhaps I should have personally tutored them back then."

"Forget it soon, do you really think you have three heads and six arms?" Liu Xin said, "But since we are talking about your brothers, then I will talk about your younger brother next."

Gao Wushi was a little surprised: "Is it a good thing or a bad thing?"

Liu Xin was taken aback, and then amused: "Why do you always seem to be worried that they will learn bad things?"

"No? Very good, it couldn't be better." Gao Wushi said: "To tell you the truth, for a family like the Gao family, especially now that I'm here, it's not a big problem if the younger brothers are not successful. It would be very annoying to add points and deduct points.”

Liu Xin said: "It doesn't seem to be the case at the moment. On your third brother Gao Wuqin, I originally had the same opinion as you. I thought that the reason why he did well in the three southern towns of Annan was mainly because of Gao Mengnan's good background, but Now it seems that he may be underestimated."

"Oh? How do you say it?" Gao Wushi became curious.

Liu Xindao: "After Gao Mengnan was transferred to Dingnan, because the shop built in Dingnan was too large, he successively transferred a group of his usual subordinates. As a result, there will be a lot fewer capable people in Jingang. At that time, I was still worried that Gao Wuqin might not be able to handle it. Who knew that Jingang had no problems at all.

Moreover, Gao Wuqin not only stabilized the newly acquired Nanpan and other places, but also personally presided over the development of the south. According to the statistical report of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the income of the southern towns this year is expected to be nearly half of that in the north of Annan. "

Gao Wushi was very surprised when he heard that, because the northern part of Annan was developed very early, and it was regarded as "familiar land", while the southern part... was almost at the level of the tribal alliance before it was captured by Jinghua. Half of the fiscal revenue in the north?
"Are you very suspicious of how he did it? Is there any inside story here?"

"To tell you the truth, I do have some doubts."

Liu Xin smiled: "There is no need to doubt, there is now the Mekong Delta across from Cambodia in the south, and it happened to have a bumper harvest last year, so you, the third brother, went to investigate it yourself and found that there are still many suitable places for planting. It was developed, so he issued an order to donate land, and quietly lured a large group of refugees from Jiangxi because of the flood, the total number reached nearly 20."

Gao Wushi asked in surprise, "When did it happen?"

"It's been going on from the end of last year to now." Liu Xin said: "You didn't personally ask about the emigration, but handed it over to the ports, and each place only reported the total number of immigrants, so you may not know the flow of those people... oh yes That’s right, Wu Xun cooperated with Gao Wuqin to do this, and the port of departure is Ningbo Port.”

"Okay, very good." Gao Wushi nodded in satisfaction, and said with some emotion: "I finally have a brother who can help me, it's not easy."

"Not only Gao Wuqin, but your fourth brother Gao Wujian is also doing well." Liu Xin looked at him suspiciously and asked, "Do you still remember where he went?"

"Uh...he said he was going to the south, did he end up in Ningbo or Quanzhou?" Gao Wushi was a little embarrassed, he really didn't pay much attention to where Gao Wujian went.

"It's Quanzhou." Liu Xin said helplessly, "You're such a good shopkeeper, you don't know where your brother is going. However, this young man didn't stay in Quanzhou obediently."

Gao Wushi was startled, and frowned, "How can I say, where did he go?"

"I was surprised to say that he went to Taiwan. At that time Gao Qi (Gao Sitang) was scared to death, afraid that something would happen to him in Taiwan. But in the end nothing happened. Gao Wujian didn't just follow your previous plan from south to Taiwan. The North was engaged in development, and even took people to the North to build a small town there... The key is that the location is not bad, almost the same as our Taipei at that time.

Afterwards, he took up residence in 'Taipei' and sent people to attack everywhere. Now he has almost wiped out the north, and he can emigrate with peace of mind for development.For this reason, the Taiwan plan can be initially completed at least two years in advance. "

Gao Wushi rubbed his nose and wondered, "Why didn't I realize that this kid doesn't study well, but he still has the attributes of a colonist?" After a pause, he asked, "Then you said you want to recommend him, says……"

"What else can I do, the chief of Taiwan." Liu Xin spread her hands and said, "He is your younger brother, and now he has made great contributions. Doesn't it make sense for a chief?"

Jinghua's "consul" is actually similar to the governor of the Spanish overseas territories. He is not called the governor just to avoid official troubles. The actual power is still very large.

However, there are not many people on Taiwan Island now, especially the Han people. Since Gao Wujian has this ability and has made such contributions, Gao Wushi is also stingy with a general, and nodded in agreement.However, in the end he frowned slightly and said: "I originally planned to leave this position to Gao Qi..."

"Gao Qi's matter is not in a hurry. I have two suggestions for reference." Liu Xin said: "First, let Gao Qi go there after taking Malacca; second, I suggest you send him to Kagoshima .”

"Kagoshima? You mean to let him go to Shimadzu's house?" Gao Wushi thought for a moment and asked, "Why are all of you more anxious than me?"

"Let's worry about the leaders first, and then enjoy the leaders' joy." Liu Xin smiled and said, "I should understand your Japanese layout. The Shimadzu family is a bridgehead for the battle of Renchen. In the future, we will fight first to ambush. Since this is the case, why don't you send a capable general there?"

Gao Wushi said helplessly: "Yes, but he will go now, I'm afraid the Shimadzu family will smell something."

"No, you just let Gao Qi go there in the name of a special envoy, and say that it is to help the Shimadzu family develop the economy and take pictures of the expert team leader, so that the Shimadzu family won't think too much—anyway, Gao Qi is now The mission in the past was really focused on the economy.”

Gao Pragmatically thought about it and nodded.Then he saw that Liu Xin didn't plan to recommend any more people, so he asked, "I haven't finished talking about the capital officials' investment?"

"It's over." Liu Xin spread her hands: "People in the 70s are willing to pay, and if you add the money from the nobles, you can give them a total of 500 million taels... Well, to be specific Generally speaking, in my opinion, the proportion of nobles is slightly higher than that of these officials, and it should be almost the same.”

Gao Wushi showed his face and said: "That's right, then give the nobles a quota of 800 million taels, and give these officials a quota of 700 million taels... Wait, can they eat 700 million taels?"

Liu Xin gave him a white look: "You can rest assured about 120, I'm only worried that they think there are too few of them."
