I was the emperor in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 997

"So, what else can Lao Nu and others say, everything is up to His Majesty."

Li Tian didn't expect that it would be so difficult to persuade them to agree to this matter.

But this is not a bad thing, they are so cautious, they are also responsible for the bank and the future of Daming.

How could Li Tian blame them.

The matter of paying the money has been settled, but money alone is not enough in Nanjing, and a lot of manpower is needed to fill it.

You must know that the ratio of Nanjing's population to wealthy families is several times that of Beijing today.

Once the Nanjing semicolon is opened, the number of manpower required will also double.

There are more than a thousand tellers and loan auditors in Beijing who are busy every day without touching the ground. Although it is not necessary to open dozens of branches in Nanjing in the early stage, a thousand people are also needed.

Before, when the third lady went to Foshan, she had already taken away a hundred and ten people, and there was already a shortage of manpower in Beijing.

Where are they going to get more than double the manpower now?

When Li Tian raised this question, the big shopkeepers of Qianzhuang scratched their heads and were at a loss.

"Your Majesty is right. The money matter is easy to solve, but where can I find this manpower?"

Guo Liuhu rolled his eyes, he remembered the current model of the Royal Bank, and tentatively suggested to Li Tian,

"Your Majesty, the early staff of the Royal Bank were basically selected from the palace by shrewd palace servants.

Why not do the same this time, and find some people from the palace! "

To be honest, this proposal can be said to be one of the best solutions currently.

Even Li Tian actually has no better way.

Just a little bit.

Although there are many eunuchs and maids in the palace, the proportion of them who can read and write is not very high.

In order to prepare for the Royal Bank, about half of the eunuchs and maids in the palace who can read have been transferred.

There are not enough young eunuchs in the palace today. If they are transferred from the palace again this time, there may not be a few literate ones left in the palace.

The Fourth Division of the Eighth Bureau of the Inner Palace also needs a lot of people, otherwise everything will be messed up.

"No, the palace really can't spare so many people.

But your idea is not bad!I know what to do. "

A few people were taken aback, there was no one in the palace, so where to find someone.

Guo Liuhu is indeed a man who is about to mature, as if he immediately thought of something.

immediately said,

"Could it be that Your Majesty is planning to take those from Nanjing..."

He didn't say everything, but everyone understood what he wanted to express.

Li Tian smiled and nodded,
"That's right, they are the palace people who stayed behind in the Nanjing Palace!"

It took only four or five years for the capital to move from Nanjing to Beijing.

The Nanjing Imperial Palace has been regarded as the imperial palace of the Ming Dynasty for nearly five or sixty years, and three emperors have ascended the throne there.

It can be said that the current Nanjing Imperial Palace is no worse than the Beijing Imperial Palace, which has not yet undergone expansion and renovation, no matter in terms of construction area or luxury.

Even in some respects it is far beyond the Beijing Imperial Palace.

Although the capital was relocated, no matter which emperor of the Ming Dynasty, he did not give up taking care of the Nanjing Palace.

There are thousands of eunuchs and palace ladies all year round, performing daily maintenance there.

There are also many old concubines from the previous dynasty living there.

These people are just standing staff, if they are scattered all over Nanjing, and if the palace people of each yamen are counted, the number of people is at least ten thousand.

It is no less than the number of people in the palace today.

The Ming Dynasty can be said to be the dynasty that appointed the largest number of eunuchs in all dynasties.

The total number of eunuchs and court ladies across the country may exceed 3.

Some people may not believe it, and they may ask, Nanjing and Beijing add up to less than 3 people, so where did the [-] people come from?

In fact, this is not counting the eunuchs and maids serving in various princes' mansions.

The Ming Dynasty also liked to let eunuchs be in charge of supervising the army. There were full-time supervising troops in almost every place on the Nine Borders, and there was not only one person in these supervising troops.

Which eunuch doesn't have three or five cronies around him.

In addition, there are many eunuchs stationed in Huangzhuang and Mazheng Stations all over the country.

Counting these people, there are also 2000 people.

Li Tian actually doesn't like to use eunuchs as court staff.

Since he came to the throne, no new eunuchs have been added.

Otherwise, according to the past rules, when the new emperor ascends the throne, at least he will be replaced by a large number of eunuchs he can trust.

Basically every time a new emperor ascends the throne, it is a big change in the inner palace.

The eunuchs who were dismissed in this way were either kicked out of the palace, or thrown in the shantang to die.

If it weren't for Guo Liuhu's high status in the past, he had many filial sons and virtuous grandchildren who helped him, and it is unlikely that he would be reused by Li Tian, ​​and his final fate is probably not much different from them.

There are not enough literate eunuchs in the Inner Palace today, but if you really want to recruit one or two thousand literate eunuchs, there are still many ways.

In the past, eunuchs, except for a very small number of eunuchs who were favored and could barely get by, in fact, many eunuchs had a very miserable life.

Going to work in a bank, although it may be more busy than working in places like the palace and palace.

But in any case, this can be regarded as a decent job with the most basic income guarantee.

Moreover, the bank also provides employees with pension benefits, which is what they, those who are destined to be unable to have children, most hope for.

It can be said that as long as Li Tian gives an order, countless people will be appointed to work in the bank.

But one thing has to be said, that is, they do not have more than half a year of work experience, and it is very important to develop the Nanjing market.

It is naturally impossible to let inexperienced people go.

Therefore, at least one of their shopkeepers will be transferred to Nanjing to be the big shopkeeper to take care of all affairs.

It is also necessary to transfer some skilled people from the current head office to serve as the backbone support.

In the end, no matter what, the Royal Bank will still have to bleed heavily this time.

Having said that, several people fell silent.

Chen Fangmin was ordered not to leave.

He is the big treasurer of the bank, and the Beijing side has only been open for half a year. If he leaves, there will be one less person who coordinates the overall situation, and the performance designation will be affected.

And Guo Liuhu is already in his 70s. Although he looks only in his fifties or sixties because of his good skills, he is old after all, and he is far behind young people in terms of energy and mental flexibility.
