    Private visit in private? Zhao Fengzhao was able to accompany Zhenwu privately in private. That was no ordinary honor. He was not a trusted minister. Although Zhenwu did not mention that he was accused of corruption, he clearly expressed his feelings for him in this way.  His letter made him bow quickly and say: "Wei Chen obeys the order. Free e-book download? Will it be updated as soon as possible?"

    As soon as Zhao Fengzhao retreated from Yinyang, he bowed and went in to see him and reported: "Huang Kuixu is outside asking for an audience."

    Zhenwu nodded and said that he must have come here to ask for money and policies. Then he said slightly: "Let him come in." Then he said to Yinyang: "Go and change, then stay for a while and go out for a walk."

    Want to go out incognito for a private visit? After hearing this, Yin Pang smiled and said, "My brother is pretending to be a housekeeper."

    "It's easier to talk when you pretend to be Jin." Zhenwu smiled slightly and said, "Go and tell a few smart people in Dachun to follow you, so don't ruin my fun."

    "I will go and deliver the order right now." Yin Pang hurriedly bowed and said.

    Keixu, who was dismissed from the post of Zuodu Yushi of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, had mixed feelings. On the day he arrived in Taiyuan, Zhengli Zai Zhenwu proposed to vigorously develop inland trade and encourage Shanxi merchants to establish a bank. This was obviously not a deliberate effort.  The imperial court will pay great attention to Shan Guanxi's stay in Taiyuan in the future.

    The project to eradicate floods in Taiyuan that worried him has now been revealed. What is Zhenwu's status as to the project funds? Will Zhenwu transfer the five million taels of silver borrowed from merchants? He has signed the IOU. Now he is responsible for the entire project.  All the money was on him.

    Yinying walked out with a smile on her face. When she saw Kui Xu standing at the foot of the steps, she couldn't help but chuckle and said, "What are you doing standing there in a daze? Your Majesty is calling in."

    Seeing the smile on Yinxu's face, he couldn't help but feel a slight glance at Zhenwu's mood. He hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Mr. Ten." After saying that, he quickly walked outside Zhenwu's room and reported again.  .  He just bowed and kowtowed in greeting, then he knelt respectfully in front of Zhenwu and took off his hat and placed it on the ground.  Then he kowtowed and said, "I thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness."

    Zhenwu glanced at him and said calmly: "I put you in charge of curing the floods in Taiyuan to give you an opportunity to perform meritorious service. The drought has just hit the people, and the people's houses have nothing left, so no corvee can be imposed. The wages must be equal to the basic needs."  If you want to ensure that Taiyuan City is flood-free for decades, I will confiscate your property to repair the river construction."

    After hearing this, Kui Xu bowed and said: "I will do my best to ensure that Taiyuan City will not have to worry about floods for a hundred years."

    Zhenwu sighed slightly.  Said: "To ensure that there will be no worries about floods for a hundred years? Are you deceiving me that I don't understand water conservancy?"

    "I don't dare." Kuixu didn't expect to be picked up and kowtowed as soon as he started: "I will definitely build the river embankment to be impregnable."

    "It's not just the river embankment." Zhenwu said in a deep voice: "The reason why Taiyuan is constantly flooded has a lot to do with the topography of the east and west mountains sandwiching a river. Why were there so few floods in Taiyuan in the Tang Dynasty? That's because there used to be two Fens in the east and west.  The upper reaches of the river are full of lush forests. During the Qin and Han dynasties, the Northern Wei Dynasty built Luo, the Song Dynasty built Bian, and the Ming Dynasty built Northern China. Most of the wood used was picked up from Shanxi and transported out of Shanxi via the Fen River. This is the root cause of Taiyuan's constant floods today.

    To ensure that there is no water for a hundred years, we must not only treat it but also plant it to restore the former lush forest state. Treating the river is just a cure and planting trees is the root cause.  It is sheer delusion to cure Taiyuan water with the necessary symptoms and to keep Taiyuan waterless for hundreds of years.  "

    He also wanted to plant trees. Hearing this, Kui Yi couldn't help but where did Yin Zhi Shu come from? The Yin City to regulate the river had not yet come down. He hurriedly bowed and said: "The Emperor's Holy Rui Tianxue has penetrated the warehouse to understand the facts. One word can explain the root cause of floods. This is the case."  The work of eradicating Taiyuan's floods will surely be a huge investment. The slaves are worried that the court will not be able to afford it. ?Update as soon as possible?"

    Seeing that Kuixu had gone around the money with just one sentence, Zhenwu couldn't help but glared at him: "Are you worried that the court can't afford it now? Why weren't you worried when the plan was proposed earlier? Why weren't you worried when the construction started?"

    Hearing Zhenwu¡¯s repeated accusations, he was helpless and had no choice but to kowtow and confess his guilt, saying: ¡°I am worried that things will be unfavorable for me, so I pray to the emperor to punish me.¡±

    "Hmph." Zhenwu snorted coldly and said: "I have spent all these years, no matter how tight I am, I have never touched the small amount of money in the national treasury. But you dare to behead first and then force the court to pay for your political gain? I understand.  Tell the imperial court that the little treasury money you have is useless, and no one can invest in the project to eradicate floods in Taiyuan. You can find a way to relieve yourself."

    Do you want to solve it by yourself? Kuixu was immediately confused that this was not tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands, but a multi-million project. Even if he was willing to break up his family, he couldn't raise such a huge sum. Is there any way to raise millions of taels?

    Kuixu retreated in despair, and just met Yin who had just changed into casual clothes and rushed in. He couldn't help but smiled bitterly and bowed his head when he saw this. Yinyang couldn't help being frightened and asked with concern: "What's going on?"

    "The emperor of the Taiyuan flood eradication project asked me to handle it myself, but hundreds of subordinate officials couldn't get it out even if they sold off all their property." Kuixu said with a sad face.

    Hearing this, Yin Pang couldn't help but chuckle and said: "I see that you are in authority and if the emperor doesn't care about you, there must be someone else who can't think of something suitable before asking the emperor."

      After this mention, his eyes flashed. Zhenwu must be very successful. Otherwise, wouldn¡¯t this move force them to exploit the people? Zhenwu was deliberately trying to test him. He hurriedly bowed and bowed: "Under the instructions of Master Shi,  The officer is unforgettable."

    Taiyuan City is not only Shanxi's political center, but also its commercial center. It is also the transportation hub of Shanxi.  The "Taiyuan Salt and Grain Hall", a public place built by merchants with funds raised specifically for business activities in this industry and region, was built with money from the Fan family.

    Fan Yuqi, who the elders of the Fan family called the Fifth Master, rushed to the Taiyuan Salt and Grain Guild Hall in an orderly manner after the officials left. Unsurprisingly, a group of wealthy Shanxi merchants would definitely go to the guild hall anxiously to inquire about the joint founder of the Shanxi merchants.  The ticket number is not just a small ticket account's profit, but Shanxi merchants should pay more attention to the convenience that the ticket number brings to them.

    Although the "Four Dahengs" have branches all over the northwestern frontiers and areas where commerce and trade are flourishing, their funds are mainly focused on the south of the Yangtze River and along the inland provinces. The branches in the northwestern frontiers are mainly responsible for government affairs.  Hundreds of thousands of Shanxi merchants were unable to do anything. After all, border trade was mainly banking trade. Merchants from Russia, Mongolia, and other countries only recognized silver.

    'Taiyuan Oil Salt and Grain Hall' gathered many wealthy businessmen from Taiyuan and surrounding areas early in the morning. Everyone was talking and speculating about how the ticket number would be raised. Since they joined forces to create a joint venture, they would definitely implement a joint-stock system, which was already a problem for Shanxi merchants.  It¡¯s nothing new. Shanxi merchants have already had a loan system and a partnership system for decades, and developed and formed a shareholding system on this basis. The question is how much money will be invested? Is there any limit on the amount?

    It can be said that the "Four Great Hengs" are completely controlled by the government. Will the imperial court intervene in their establishment? Will the imperial court take a major stake in it? Everyone who was talking about Rezhao Nao stood up to greet Fan Yuqi when they saw him coming in.

    Seeing this lively scene, Fan Yuqi also smiled secretly and walked with everyone one by one into the hall. Then he said loudly: "The Fan family of Mengtian is fortunate to be able to continue to vigorously develop inland trade. Encourage Shanxi merchants to join hands to establish the vote."  My brother went to see what the emperor said personally.

    Not only that, the emperor also highly praised Shanxi merchants as the purest merchants and encouraged all merchants in the Qing Dynasty to follow our example and become pure merchants.  "

    All the wealthy businessmen were delighted when they heard this. What was the subtext of this? It was because the imperial court did not interfere with the bank jointly established by Shanxi merchants, otherwise it would not be called a pure businessman. What they were most worried about was the bank they founded.  They were finally relieved that the title was in the hands of the imperial court. At that moment, someone said: "Fan Wu is rumored to be too much. Can you please highlight the details of the situation when Mr. Fan came to the audience?"

    Fan Yuqi smiled slightly and said: "The emperor has no time to chat with my brother every day. Of course, Brother Zhong carefully summarized it. In general, there are three and one. One is to ask Shanxi merchants to pay attention to Western learning, not only to pay attention to arithmetic, but also to astronomy and earth.  The foreign emperor encouraged Shanxi merchants to open ticket accounts all over the West and even to Europe and the United States. Naturally, our brother must understand foreign languages ??such as Russian.

    The Second Emperor encouraged Shanxi merchants to engage in healthy competition with the "Four Dahengs", and also encouraged Hui merchants to establish bank accounts so that they could mutually promote the development of the ticket industry.

    The Three Emperors admired the virtuous and trustworthy wealthy merchants. In the future, military grain shipments, clocks, pure and transparent glass and other products produced in Tianjin and Beijing workshops would only be combined with the best among Shanxi merchants, and more importantly, Russia and the Bukhara Khanate.  , Mughal Empire, Kazakh Khan, Persia, and Ottoman Empire¡¯s trade routes are only allowed to be operated by the largest shareholders of the bank.  "
