I was the emperor in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 716 Expansion, expansion!
A university, in addition to having thousands of teachers capable of scientific research and teaching, should at least have thousands of students.

Now there is only one teacher, and the Tiangong Institute is almost unable to support it, let alone the future university town.

So Li Tian decided, simply, the Tiangong Institute doesn't need to be repaired, just set aside a place in Nancheng and build a new headquarters for them.

Speaking of this, Huang Zhun said with a bitter face,

"Your Majesty, according to your design, this new Tiangongyuan is at least five or six times larger than the current one, and the cost is naturally five or six times larger.

If we only rely on the support of our Hukou Reform Bureau, I am afraid it will be powerless! "

Before Li Tian could explain to him, Yang Rong, the official dean of Tiangong Academy, was not happy.

said directly,

"Zhongchang, I don't want to listen to what you said. What does it mean that the household reform bureau is incapable? Don't think I don't know. In the past two months, your household reform bureau has almost completed the household reform in Beizhili. up,
You are holding three or four million taels of silver in your hands now.

Now you are telling His Majesty that you have no money to change the household registration system, so it is okay to deceive the urchins on the side of the road. It is impossible to fool me and Your Majesty. "

Huang Zhun smiled awkwardly as if someone had exposed his little thoughts, but he still argued,
"Your Majesty, I do have some money in my hand, but now the entire court regards the household reform bureau as a money bag, and no matter who is short of money, they all come to me for it.

There is nothing I can do about it, I can't let anyone reach out, I will give it all! "

"I went to the Tiangong Institute earlier, and found that the loss of the main body is actually not that big. It can be operated normally with a little repair, and it doesn't cost much.

But if we rebuild a Tiangongyuan five or six times the size, it will cost several 10 taels of silver. No matter how much money is spent on the household reform bureau, it can't help spending so much! "

Li Tian smiled lightly and said,

"Zhongchang, don't worry, this time to rebuild the Tiangongyuan, I will not let your household reform bureau take the lead. Don't look at the Tiangongyuan is still in the initial stage, but in fact they already have a strong ability to make money .

Among other things, I heard some time ago that the myopia and near-sighted reading glasses invented by the Tiangong Institute have sold very well, and I heard that they have also made a lot of money.

Moreover, the cement of Tiangong Bureau has started to be put into production. Although the output is not a lot, it is still easy to satisfy the construction of a Tiangong Institute.

I have calculated that if most of the reconstruction is made of cement bricks and tiles, it does not need to spend a lot of money. "

After Huang Zhun got Li Tian's guarantee, he immediately broke away from the misery just now.

"Your Majesty, doesn't it mean that the minister's household reform bureau only needs to pay 10,000+ taels?"

"Well, that's enough, maybe there's still some left!"

In a few words, the money was settled, and Yang Rong was very happy.

"Great. Now that the money matter is settled, I'll go back to Tiangongyuan later and let them prepare the blueprints. Let's start working someday!"

Li Tian smiled wryly and said,

"It's a cold day, how can we start construction, and we have to wait until the next spring to start construction. The blueprints can be drawn first, and the rest can be discussed later."

The raging fire that had just ignited was mercilessly extinguished by Li Tian. Yang Rong said that you are very bad, Your Majesty.

Speaking of the reconstruction of Tiangongyuan, it has to be mentioned that it has become a landmark of the capital and a royal bank that exists like a holy place in the minds of all merchants.

In the past, Li Tian didn't understand why banks all over the world, no matter they were big or small, built a building to act as their facade, and some even built five or six single-family buildings in the same city.

At first, he thought that the bank had money and deliberately showed off.

But after the loan business of the Royal Bank flourished, he realized that in the whole building, only the lobby on the first floor was used to handle business for ordinary depositors. Prepared for large customers who handle large loans.

In fact, a few months ago, Guo Liuhu and others of the Royal Bank complained to themselves through Wang Fujiangbao and others, saying that the office area on the second floor of the bank headquarters was completely insufficient.

In order to discuss business with customers in a place where no one would disturb them, they often even have to reserve a box in a nearby teahouse to barely make enough.

In the past two months, the teahouse has basically stopped receiving ordinary customers, and the people from the bank who came to talk about business have already made the teahouse a lot of money.

It can be said that the teahouse has basically become a part of the Royal Bank.

This is not the most exaggerated. The most exaggerated thing is that for some small loan business, because there is no private room for negotiation, the staff who are in charge of negotiating business can only find a place on the side of the road to handle business for them.

Some people don't even go to the bank to work at all. When it's time every day, they go directly to the other party's home or shop to talk in person according to the list recorded yesterday.

As a result, many salesmen could not see anyone for ten days and half a month, and they would not show up at all until the summary meeting at the end of the month.

This statistical work has brought great inconvenience.

Therefore, it is also an urgent problem for Qianzhuang to build a place that covers a larger area and can accommodate more people to work.

Another point is that the underground treasury of the bank has long been filled with depositors' money, and every time you go to work to withdraw money, you have to go in and out sideways.

There is so much money that there is no place to put it, the whole world is afraid that only the Royal Bank has it.

This is not an exaggeration.

The headquarters of the Royal Bank was originally only the size of a three-entry courtyard, and the main office area was only two three-story buildings connected together. It usually accommodates dozens or hundreds of office staff, which is already a bit crowded.

Now there are at least five or six hundred people who go to handle business every day.

In fact, there is not enough space for the headquarters of the bank.

Thinking about it, there are millions of people in the entire capital, not to mention that everyone has a relationship with the bank, even if only [-]% has business dealings with the bank every day, that is tens of thousands.

Distributed to more than 30 branches, each of them has to share more than 300 people.

In addition, the headquarter of the bank is the only place where loan business can be handled, and the number of people will be doubled at least.

It's no wonder that many salesmen don't go to work at all, and there is nowhere to stand when they go. What are they going to do?
Faced with this situation, Li Tian had no good solution before, but asked them to buy several nearby shops and use them as temporary office locations.

But this still can't solve the fundamental problem.

It seems that there is really no good way other than expansion.
