I was the emperor in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 103 Planning and Preparation
After taking a bite of the crispy, soft and glutinous glutinous rice bean cake, Li Tian squinted his eyes in satisfaction. Yushanjian's dessert was getting better and better.

Shaking his feet freely, Li Tian glanced sideways and saw Wang Fu licking his lips, rubbing the cake crumbs on his hands and said with a smile:

"If you want to eat, just pinch two pieces and try it. Anyway, I can't finish eating so much."

Smiling, Wang Fu rubbed his hands, carefully picked up a piece of triangular candied fruit from the gold-covered agate plate, and stuffed it sideways into his mouth.

"Didn't Your Majesty notice that today's pastries are a little different?"

Today's pastries are different?Seriously looking at the dozens of exquisite pastries on the square plate, Li Tian looked at them for a long time, but he really didn't notice any difference.

Wang Fu smiled innocently, and raised his chubby hands:

"Your Majesty, today's cakes are made by a serious chef from Suzhou and Hangzhou."

Wang Fu meant that today's cakes are authentic, but when Li Tian heard them, he had another interpretation.

This is another addition to the Imperial Food Supervisor.

Thinking that the Imperial Food Supervisor had recruited another chef, Li Tian only felt that the pastries he had just eaten tasted bitter in his mouth, which all tasted like money.

"Go and let the supervisor of ceremonies write a note. The 24 yamen in the inner court will not be allowed to recruit any more people from today on."

Fatty Wang Fu shook his hand, he didn't expect that he would flatter the donkey's egg, he was so frightened that he nodded his head, and hurried out of the imperial study.

Pushing the plate aside, Li Tian picked up the ink brush and turned his attention back to the Qianzhuang.

Although the idea of ​​setting up the Royal Bank was a flash of inspiration for him, but after careful consideration, I am afraid that this idea is really a stroke of genius.

Although Zheng He brought back more than 140 million taels of silver from his voyages to the West, he couldn't stand the high expenses now and had to spend money everywhere.

Most of the eunuchs and maids in the inner court with a small size of 26 yuan, the barracks renovation of the 100 guards of the pro-army, and the Tiangongyuan have to pay for it from the inner treasury. In addition to the follow-up cement plan, the more than [-] taels of silver is estimated to be enough. a month.

But if you set up a bank, it would be great. Not only do you no longer have to worry about not having enough money, but you can also arrange some of the eunuchs and maids who are waiting, which can be said to serve multiple purposes.

The door of the room rang suddenly, and Li Tianding looked around, only to see that it was Jiang Bao who came in with a stack of rosters.

Putting a thick stack of rosters on the low table aside, Jiang Bao shook his sleeves with a relaxed expression:
"Your Majesty, the rosters of retired eunuchs and maidservants from the Inner Court and the Palace Maid are here."

Both the Inner Courtyard and the Courtyard of Palace Maids are at the northernmost end of the imperial city, so riding a horse and taking a sedan chair is naturally not too far away, but if you only rely on two legs, it will take at least half an hour to walk.

Seeing that Jiang Bao came in alone, Li Tian was a little surprised:

"You brought all these booklets from the north alone?"

Jiang Bao curled his lips a little aggrieved when he heard the words, wiped the dust on the booklet with his sleeve, picked up a book and said:

"Your Majesty didn't tell the old slave how the bank that doesn't lend money is run. How dare the old slave let the people below get involved in this matter, so I can only hug them all and choose them myself."

"Brilliant."

Without hesitation, he gave Jiang Bao a thumbs up, and Li Tian changed his eyes like looking at a mentally handicapped child and said:
"I asked you to find something that can write and count, but I didn't ask you to preach the imperial decree. If you don't tell them, no one of them knows what I'm going to do."

Hearing this, Jiang Bao's hand holding the roster trembled, his mouth opened slightly, and his face suddenly became dazed:
"If our family doesn't tell them, they won't know. It seems to be like this."

"Silly melon."

Casually complained about Jiang Bao, knowing that Jiang Bao was dizzy because of the eunuchs and maids, Li Tian didn't say any more, put down the pen in his hand and said:
"Let's look for it. Let me find all the eunuchs who can move their arms and legs, who can write and count. And those palace ladies under the age of 30, let me find them too."

Scratching his clever little head, Jiang Bao finally realized that his previous behavior was indeed like a fool. He smiled awkwardly, crouched on the ground and began to rummage.

The eunuchs and maids who entered the palace were all serving the emperor and concubines, not to mention any skills, even what the grandfather did, they were all clearly remembered in the roster.

Flipping through the brochure quickly, Jiang Bao found dozens of ones that met the requirements in a short while.

Li Tian was sitting on the couch writing, Jiang Bao was squatting on the ground looking for someone, time passed quietly in this strange and harmonious atmosphere.

The night covered the sky, and the moon also pulled a group of stars to start working. When the cool autumn wind blew, the stars in the cold sky shivered and twinkled together.

Inside the imperial study.

Jiang Bao was already sitting on the ground rummaging, and Wang Fu was taking notes with a pen and paper. Li Tian yawned, put down the vermilion pen in his hand, and his wrists became limp as he moved:

"How did you find it?"

There were only three or two booklets left on Jiang Bao's left hand. He rubbed his eyes and raised his head when he heard this:
"We're almost done looking for His Majesty."

"There are more than 500 eunuchs recorded now, and even more palace maids. There are nearly [-] of them." Wang Fu took over the words and said.

Nodding his head, Li Tian simply sat on the ground, picked up the list recorded by Wang Fu, and said in a somewhat speechless tone:
"There are so many eunuchs and maids who can do things idle, I thought how many old people there are in the inner court."

Li Tian sat down on the ground, Jiang Bao hurriedly moved to the side in fright, Wang Fu also hurriedly got up and found a soft cushion.

"This is something that can't be helped, Your Majesty." Turning around and picking up another booklet, Jiang Bao smiled sadly, shook his head and said:

"Many eunuchs have to retire because their legs and feet are slightly disabled. The same is true for the maids. How dare the inner court let the old maids walk in the palace."

"Wang Fu, go find two more cushions, I will teach you how to play in the bank."

Waiting for Jiang Bao to read through the last two rosters, a total of [-] eunuchs and court ladies were finally selected.Instructing Wang Fu to bring the royal plan on the imperial case, Li Tian cleared his throat and said in a deep voice:

"Since I want to do business, I will never do it for fun. The first batch of banks I plan to open 24 first, and Shuntian Prefecture governs [-] banks in [-] counties in five prefectures, and then set up a head office in Beijing. , five semicolons. I have already decided on the location of the general number, and I will open it on Zhengyangmen Street, the location of the semicolon, and I will let the Ministry of Industry handle it in the past two days."

Hearing that the emperor was going to open thirty banks in one go, Jiang Bao and the two of them gasped in unison. The emperor must be playing too much.

Thinking that the internal warehouse will be more than half empty at once, Wang Fu was a little worried:

"Your Majesty, I think it's better to open a few stores in central Beijing first. When the business starts, it won't be too late to open a branch in the counties below."

"Little family."

After saying a word to Wang Fu, he casually threw the plan in front of the two of them. Li Tian said confidently:

"Let's take a look, the dozen or so plans I wrote are not just kidding around with you."
