Chapter 520 Bank Plan

"Have you heard about it? Xudu Academy has just started accepting students. It is said that Mr. Xun Yu personally manages the entire Xudu Academy! Moreover, the requirements for entering the academy are very simple, as long as they are poor students, they can study."

"What? Students from poor families can go to study and study? Do you still need to deal with the daily food yourself?"

"Hey, don't tell me, this time even the food for the poor students is provided by the imperial court. But we poor students have to go to the government to farm the land after studying on weekdays, and we can't eat and drink for nothing. And the tuition is even more expensive. After you have achieved something in your studies, go to the academy to make up for it.”

"So good? Although my family has enough money to start raising pigs, I really can't afford to buy books. There are so many classics, and we have to buy every volume. We poor students really can't afford so much money. I'm going to Mr. Xun Yu is a great writer in Xudu Academy, and it would be a waste of opportunity if he doesn’t go.”

"Yes! Let's go and sign up, hoping to be eligible to enter Xudu Academy."

In Xudu city, the children from poor families everywhere are talking about it.They no longer have to run around for a living, so they all want to study and study.Who doesn't want to become a literati, so as to make their own contributions to the country?This is a shortcut for even the poor students of Xudu Academy to become talents.

It was the first day of accepting students at Xudu Academy, and hundreds of students from poor families came to take the exam, expecting to enter Xudu Academy.The exam questions given by Xun Yu are also very interesting. On the surface, they are the basis for testing the poor students, but in fact they are testing their character.

In Hexiang Bieyuan, Han Wu was looking at the amount of the pension, his hands began to tremble.This amount is too large. If all the funds are distributed this time, the Jin State may not be able to mobilize a large army to attack Hanzhong and Chu within three years.

There was only so much gold that Zheng He could bring back from overseas, and he couldn't make up for the big hole in the pension every time.

"Your Highness, I think that the plan of the Qianzhuang can be implemented. The plan of the Qianzhuang has been shelved for several years, and now is the perfect time to realize it. The people are rich, and if they don't use the money in their hands, they will keep it at home. If you use the Qianzhuang Let the people deposit all their money, and our pensions can be issued immediately. Moreover, the money deposited by the people in the bank can be used to develop commerce and increase trade taxes, and the pensions can be supplemented within a year.” Zeng Guofan’s thoughts Sure enough, it's advanced, but the reason why Han Wu didn't put the issue of pensions on the agenda is because this thing is too easy to play with fire and set itself on fire.

In the event of natural or man-made disasters, the common people have to withdraw a large amount of money, which is also a big trouble.When the time comes, the bank will not be able to release money, and the people will inevitably panic, and the hearts of the people will be lost.

Seeing that His Highness was still hesitating, Zeng Guofan quickly suggested: "Your Highness, in fact, we can set up a currency made of paper or cloth. We can call it... gold tickets, or silver tickets. Gold tickets are the same as silver tickets. It can be circulated, which reduces the consumption of iron ore for making copper and iron coins. This will not only make the bank more stable, but also reduce the consumption of a lot of money.”

Hearing about paper currency, Han Wu was a little interested.Qianzhuang, this also existed in ancient China, but it was not so developed during the Han Dynasty.

If the people get used to the bank as soon as they come up, I'm afraid there will be real troubles.But if it is to use paper currency to attract the people first, this is indeed a good way.

"Okay! If that's the case, then let Cai Lun develop a better papermaking method first. I need a complete and specific solution to banknotes." Han Wu narrowed his eyes. What he didn't dare to try, he still had to try after all. up.

Zeng Guofan was overjoyed, and quickly took out another memorial, saying: "Your Highness, this is the plan that Chen Qun revised overnight, and the banknotes and bank plans are all on it."

Unexpectedly, Zeng Guofan had already prepared all the plans, and even the bank and banknotes were planned.

"Hmm... tsk tsk tsk! This matter will be considered by the hall, so you should step down first." To be honest, Han Wu originally wanted to delay, but he did not expect Zeng Guofan to be so radical.

Zeng Guofan could see that His Highness the Crown Prince didn't want to start implementing the bank and banknotes right away, so he just planned and completed the plan.As for whether His Highness wants to implement it as soon as possible, this is not something Zeng Guofan can decide.

At the same time, Qin Wuling

After Sima Yi fled from Chengdu, he faced the dilemma of lack of food along the way and finally arrived in Wuling.It can be said that he walked to Wuling with a pair of fleshy feet, and there were not many guards around Sima Yi.

Cao Pi immediately took Sima Yi to rest in person, because he knew that Qin State was about to attack Chu State by force and needed Sima Yi's help.

Cao Xiu has been very decadent during this time, and it seems that the death of Cao Zhang and Cao Zhen has shaken him a little.

Fazheng is also doing it himself, preparing to turn Wuling into an important town that can be attacked and defended.

"Zhongda, how are the officials in Chengdu?" After Sima Yi rested, he heard Cao Pi asking himself as soon as he arrived at Cao Pi's main hall.

Sima Yi sighed helplessly. When he escaped, Chengdu was already devastated, and many ministers were probably in the midst of war.

"Your Highness, I used Chengdu as a trap to devour the tens of thousands of troops of the Jin Kingdom. It is a pity that Lord Xun Ling was captured. Presumably many officials will also join the Jin Kingdom, and they are unreliable." Sima Yi admitted that he did not attack those officials. After all, he is not executioner.

Cao Xiu sighed. He knew that he fled without a fight when he was guarding Chengdu, so he felt very ashamed.

Cao Pi didn't blame Cao Xiu, because he knew who would be more or less afraid when facing the Jin army.

"Then who is the general of Jin who stayed to guard Chengdu?" Cao Pi squinted his eyes. He was still thinking about whether he could fight back and try to take Chengdu back.

Sima Yi sighed, and said: "Your Highness, I think it's better not to worry about Chengdu. I don't know who the defender of Chengdu is. Huang Zhong and Xue Rengui must be one of these two. Whether it's the two of them Whoever guards Chengdu will guard Zitong. With our strength, it is too difficult to defeat these two Jin generals at the same time and take back Chengdu!"

After hearing Sima Yi's words, Cao Pi also knew that it was too difficult.But even if Chengdu cannot be taken back, Cao Pi must ensure that Jiangzhou will not be lost.

"Okay! If that's the case, let Wen Lie go and guard Jiangzhou. Zidan is gone, and I'll ask Shamoke to send someone to help you. I'll also ask Gao Ding to be your deputy. Ten thousand elites should be able to guard Jiangzhou .” Cao Pi frowned, he hoped that Cao Xiu would not let himself down this time.

Now, Cao Pi is also facing a situation where no one is available.Perhaps, he is really going to start handing over military power to Sima Yi.
