Hard work is the traditional virtue of the Chinese nation. This virtue can help the Chinese people overcome all dangers and achieve prosperity.

Those in power only need to create an environment for them to get rewarded after hard work, and they can give back to you rich products.

Yu Qiu knew this truth well, so he was committed to building Mingzhou into an environment without oppression and exploitation, so that the people of Mingzhou and himself could live more freely.

Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and Changsun Wuji who joined the last talked directly in the room about the dawn the next day. Yu Qiu, who was awakened by Changsun Wuji, was too lazy to sleep anymore. Anyway, it was early in the summer, and he mastered the primary construction technology, so he drew drawings and designed the main building of the Chang'an Branch of Mingzhou Bank.

Early in the morning, Hanzi and Datou lit the stove in front of the Governor's Office and began to inflate the hot air balloons. After the signing ceremony here and the ribbon-cutting ceremony for the opening of the People's Bank of Mingzhou were completed, everyone had to turn to Mingjin Ferry to watch the dragon boat competition. This is the activity that the children were looking forward to.

In terms of receiving people and treating things, many people from the Lu family in Fanyang are very good at it. So, although Yu Qiu is doing his own things, in fact, many people are helping him complete these jobs of receiving foreign guests, and there are quite a few big names coming to Mingzhou this time.

In addition to Yeon Gaisuwen, who represented Goguryeo and Li Xiaogong, who represented the Li Tang court, he represented Jie Li's power of silence, Ashina Tusu, who represented Tuli, and Yi Nan himself, who had just settled his tribe near Lingzhou, also came to the governor's office early in the morning.

In addition, there are also envoys from Silla and Baekje who are in contact with Mingzhou and are preparing to sign a strategic partner agreement. There are hundreds of spokespersons for important powerful people or families in various countries, such as Changsun Wuji.

In order to reflect the sense of ritual, Yu Qiu arranged a complete set of etiquette procedures in the Governor's Office. When these guests came to the gate of the Governor's Office in Mingzhou, they immediately saw the red carpet that was spread from the inside of the mansion to outside the gate. Yu Qiu was receiving them at the door wearing a straight vest and long gown.

This kind of clothing will be paired with a long-sleeved jacket in autumn and winter. In later generations, it was called a suit. In this era, people have become accustomed to calling it Mingzhou suit because this is a work outfit designed by Yu Qiu for officials in Mingzhou. Whether it is a senior official or a low-level official, the difference is that the badges hung on the chest, the bronze badges represent the township level, the silver badges represent the district and county level, and the gold badges represent the highest state governor level.

At present, Yu Qiu, Su Dingfang, Gao Yaxian and the other two are qualified to wear gold badges when wearing such regular clothes.

The handshake gift is a ritual that Mingzhou has now been publicly implemented. Yu Qiu covered his hands with all the guests and asked them to shake hands with the main officials of Mingzhou lined up in front of the Governor's Mansion. After the many guests finished their greetings, Yu Qiu led the guest team to Dawan, the Governor's Mansion. At this time, the sound of fireworks and salutes suddenly sounded at the side wall of Dawan.

Zhishi Sili, who is very familiar with this kind of thing, heard this voice, and almost thought that Yu Qiu would be unfavorable to him and others. However, after seeing Yu Qiu walking in the front of the team, he quickly felt at ease.

But I was even more sure that Mingzhou had fully mastered the idea of ​​not being able to become enemies of this kind of thing in the future.

Most of the foreign guests who could rush into the sky and then explode for the first time, except for the initial fear, they knew that this was a welcome salute specially prepared by Yu Qiu for everyone. They all became interested in this item. Unfortunately, Yu Qiu's words of not selling it to the public made them a little interested.

The military band also played a welcoming song while the cannons sounded. Several of them were later military instruments made by the villa some time ago according to Yu Qiu's design.

When Yu Qiu brought everyone to the review stand in front of the Mingzhou Army Honor Guard, which had been lined up, the captain of the Honor Guard immediately stepped forward and invited the guests to review.

Yu Qiu then took all the guests to walk by the soldiers of the guard of honor who were neatly cut like a knife. The guard of honor led the flag-raising bench with the brigade to the flag-mounted position, and then began a flag-raising ceremony similar to that of later generations.

The new military uniform of the Mingzhou Army is simply too beautiful. It holds a long halberd in its hands, wears a military uniform similar to that of later generations, with leather armed belts, and a yellow wheat ear belt on its shoulders, and a corresponding level of bronze or silver star badges.

The long leather boots are very brightly polished, and the elastic trousers are sewn very exquisitely.

Moreover, the soldiers did not have any beards and hair on their faces, and there was no loose or tied hair behind them. They looked very clean and neat, young and energetic.

The Mingzhou Army’s military flag is a knife and shield flag with a red background and yellow pattern. It is very bright and dazzling under the morning sunlight.

The military salute of the Mingzhou Army is to raise your hand, hold your palms together, your thumb to the second knuckle of the index finger, and your arm to the brim of the hat.

Yu Qiu also copied the repertoire of the welcome and raising the military flag directly according to the melody of later generations. However, since many instruments have not been produced in place, they can only focus on the sound of military horns and drums. Not to mention, after dozens of military horns and dozens of snare drums were played at the same time, the momentum was still very powerful.

The entire process made the guests feel very high-end, and when nearly 500 soldiers from the first battalion of honor sets unfolded in front of all the guests, everyone was even more shocked to rub their eyes.

When he was still in the shelter camp of hungry people, Yu Qiu used the queue training method of later generations to train those hungry people young and strong. Later, this whole training queue method was introduced into the army by Su Dingfang and Gao Yaxian. Until now, after a little improvement, it has been used for almost a year. Especially in the six months after Mingzhou Autonomy, Yu Qiu asked all military branches to carry out targeted training every day, and the guard of honor was specially trained in the queue.

The six-month professional queue training made their queue level not bad even compared to the soldiers inspected during the military parade in later generations, making these guests unable to believe their eyes.

"The strong soldiers in Mingzhou are indeed sharp." Li Xiaogong, Yuchi Gong, Cheng Yaojin exchanged their eyes and praised.

"It's sharp! But we can't afford to play." Cheng Yaojin said with a little sourness.

The Mingzhou Army served all year round, professional training, and never stopped for a day. Not to mention the consumption of food, clothing and expenses, the monthly military pay for more than 20,000 people is as high as tens of thousands of guan per month, and one or two million guan a year, which is only a lot more than the military expenditure of the imperial court to support hundreds of thousands of troops. Can this be compared?

One question that made them even more puzzled was that Mingzhou's products are not much richer than other states in the world, but why can they afford to play, but the courts that ruled over a hundred states cannot afford to play?

Where did the money from Mingzhou come from?

The answer is very simple. Whoever bought Mingzhou's products? Where did Mingzhou get the money?

It is basically all those gentry classes.

They have money, but they only seek their own enjoyment and do not support the country.

A child of a gentry who is good at drinking and feasting can consume the annual output of ten or even dozens of households in a day. If the output of these people is used on the right path, why worry about the country's prosperity?

Mingzhou's political goals are very clear, creating conditions for output for the people and using all the output they create on the right path.

Fang Xuanling realized this, Du Ruhui and Changsun Wuji also realized this. As for those who only have selfish interests in their hearts and do not have the people, they naturally cannot.

After the dichotomy was completed, Yu Qiu first signed a strategic partner agreement with Goguryeo on the signing table prepared early in the morning, and read it to everyone in public. Then, he signed a commercial alliance agreement with all families or organizations willing to join the Mingzhou Commercial Alliance, so that everyone could see the strength of the circle formed by Yu Qiu.

The three great khans of the Turks, plus Goguryeo, Silla, and Baekje, and the six largest regimes in the entire East and North, all reached alliance agreements with Yu Qiu. In the future, trade and even political exchanges between countries will almost inevitably pass through the core point of Mingzhou.

After a series of ceremonies, a morning passed quickly. Yu Qiu set up a banquet at the Governor's Office to entertain everyone, including deer jelly, roasted lamb, steamed shrimps and crabs, stir-frying, stewed meat, and adding pastries. The various foods were rich and a bit too much, but everyone's mind was not on eating them.

After lunch, it was the opening ceremony of the People's Bank of Mingzhou. Everyone who was attending had to visit Mingzhou Bank to visit its operation process and even become the first batch of customers of the People's Bank of Mingzhou.

Of course, everyone’s purpose is actually to be a shareholder of the Mingzhou People’s Bank of China.

The hot air balloon is very attractive to the people. In fact, since the morning, most of the workers on vacation in Mingzhou City had gathered at Mingzhou Bank. In the past, this place was actually the Lu family's Mingzhou Beppu. Yu Qiu asked someone to demolish the gate and renovate the hall, it became the headquarters of the Mingzhou People's Bank of China.

At present, except for the lobby and front yard area in use, construction is underway in all other places. In the future, a building that can blind people will definitely be built here.

At this time, many people wearing white vests and shirts were explaining the business of Mingzhou Bank to the people who were watching the fun under the hot air balloon.

For example, deposits are subject to interest.

For example, if you take copper coins that are prone to rust, you can exchange them for new money produced in our Mingzhou here, and also show the new money to tell everyone that this kind of money is not prone to rust.

For example, if your homestead is big enough, but you don’t have the money to build a big house for the time being, you can get a loan from Mingzhou Bank. The interest rate is very low. As long as you rent out the house, you can quickly repay all the borrowed money and double the future rent income.

If these people explain to the people that the banking business is from the aristocratic families in other places, the people would not believe them at all.

But in Mingzhou, this Mingzhou Bank was opened by the governor of Mingzhou Yu Qiu. The food and drink expenses of the people of Mingzhou, including land and houses, were given by the governor of Mingzhou Yu Qiubai. He would definitely not cheat himself. The people believed in Yu Qiu even more than the gods. Suddenly, many bold and thoughtful people wanted to handle deposits in the bank or borrow money to build houses.
