Chapter 37 Life is less than 100 years old, always worry about a hundred years old!
Wen Yanbo and Bao Zheng and Wu Kui were both in the same year. Fu Bi was a little later, and Cai Xiang was the same year. Because Fu Bi was selected as a talented person in this year, Cai Xiang passed the Jinshi.
But the few of them are considered to be of similar age. Except for Bao Zheng who is older, most of the others are similar.
The few of them were not very polite and sat down separately.
"Xi Ren and Junmo came just in time, and I want to ask you something for help."
Wen Yanbo smiled.
Cai Xiang smiled, while Bao Zheng looked serious.
Wen Yanbo and others knew Bao Zheng’s style, but they didn’t care.
Bao Zheng said: "What Kuanfu wants to ask should be the same as the purpose of our arrival, right?"
Wen Yanbo laughed and said, "Xi Ren and Junmo are here for the central bank?"
Cai Xiang smiled and said, "That's right, the Political Affairs Hall cannot make a decision for a long time, and Brother Xiren and I are also anxious."
Fu Biqi said: "Why is this?"
Cai Xiang smiled and said, "It's nothing more, it's just a benefit to the country and the people."
Cai Xiang and Bao Zheng both had good official voices. Wen Yanbo trusted them, but he just didn't know what their reasons were.
Facing Wen Yanbo and Fu Bi's inquiry, Cai Xiang said: "When you meet Ji Mo, you should be the first to be Brother Xi Ren, or the deepest to know each other.
When Brother Xiren was away from home, he kept writing letters with Ji Mo, and so was me. So when it comes to understanding Ji Mo, Brother Xiren and I should be the only one to take responsibility."
Bao Zheng nodded in agreement with Cai Xiang's statement.
Wen Yanbo and Fu Bi looked at each other and said, "Start with Ji Mo? It's a new idea. Junmo, please tell me."
Cai Xiang nodded and pondered for a moment, "Ji Mo is a young man, but he is always aimless. I recall what I have learned from Ji Mo. Although Ji Mo seems to be a little naughty on the surface, what he does is not out of his control. Whether it is West Lake City or Agricultural Bank of China, they are all following the plan he wrote at the beginning. This foresight is really amazing!"
Bao Zheng nodded: "It is true. I saw the planning of West Lake City afterwards, but I personally checked the planning of the Agricultural Bank. It basically happened in reality. Ji Mo plugged the loopholes in advance. I have never seen such a ability in anyone."
Wen Yanbo and Fu Bi both looked a little heavy when they heard this.
Cai Xiangqi said: "What's wrong?"
"Jimo requires that those who work in the central bank should be separated from other departments, and should be independent of the court, only accept supervision from the court, but not jurisdiction."
Wu Kui explained.
Cai Xiang and Bao Zheng looked at each other and smiled.
Although Wen Yanbo was the same year as Bao Zheng, he rarely saw Bao Zheng laughing. At this time, his curiosity arose: "What are the opinions?"
Cai Xiang smiled and said, "This is very consistent with Ji Mo's style. Everyone knows that once the central bank prepares, the wealth of the world will be concentrated in the central bank. At that time, even the three departments are not as rich as the central bank.
How could no one covet a place where the world's wealth is gathered in this way?
If the central bank is under the jurisdiction of the court officials, will the official take action, will his superiors have ideas about it, will the three departments and the political affairs hall have ideas, or will the official?
Cai Xiang smiled and pointed to the sky.
Wen Yanbo and Fu Bi nodded and signaled to understand.
Cai Xiang said: "I think this part has been taken into account in Ji Mo's design. Everyone can understand the benefits of the central bank. The central bank does not have to guarantee the court, nor does it have to be responsible for the many expenditures of the court. These are naturally the three departments.
The only responsibility of the central bank is to let the hidden wealth of the world return to the market for circulation. This alone has the meaning of existence.
Everyone should have read Ji Mo's "The Wealth of Nations", which has one of the claims in it - as long as money flows, it can create value.
According to Ji Mo's estimate, the copper coins hidden in the people are about 260 million guan, which does not include those bad coins. Adding to the bad coins in circulation, the wealth of this part can reach 300 million guan!
Think about it, how many years have passed in the Song Dynasty, and coins are minted every year, but they are still short of money every year. Because of the lack of money, the business on the market is depressed, and the people even have to exchange physically. But how inconvenient it is to exchange physically, everyone clearly knows that this is really too much obstacle to the expansion of the market!
Once the central bank prepares, not to mention discovering all the hidden copper coins, even if it is only one tenth, the extra 30 million will make the Song Dynasty's economy full of vitality. Once the economy goes up, the commercial tax in the Song Dynasty will also rise. In this way, the Song Dynasty's treasury will not be empty!"
Bao Zheng nodded: "In fact, there is no need to say anything else. Just a matter of relieving the shortage of money, the court should not refuse the central bank's preparations."
Wen Yanbo nodded: "What Brother Xiren said is very much, but the Zhengshi Hall also has its own difficulties. As Junmo said, where wealth in the world gathers, wherever the eyes of all parties are, is also a key place for all parties to compete for. Once the central bank is established, many things will be unstoppable, and..."
Wen Yanbo laughed at himself: "...The husband of the Zhengshi Hall seems to be glorious, but in fact he is trembling and may be demoted at any time. The central bank, we can protect us for a while, but we cannot protect our whole life!"
As soon as Wen Yanbo said this, even Bao Zheng couldn't help but sigh.
Fu Bi laughed.
Everyone looked at each other.
Fu Bi smiled and said loudly: "I just suddenly remembered the sentence in Ji Mo's "On Poetry" - There are talented people in the country who have emerged in generations, and they have been leading the way for hundreds of years."
"Well... what does Yanguo mean?"
Wen Yanbo said.
"Brother Kuanfu, I think I must have figured it out."
Fu Bi firmly said: "There are talents in the country and each has its own talents for hundreds of years. Each generation has its mission. Our generation will do what we think is right. As for the future, let Wang Jiefu, Sima Junshi, Ouyang Jimo and others do it!
Since the central bank is beneficial to the current Song Dynasty, we can set rules now, so we can start working first. When we can’t do it, Jiefu, Junshi and other up-and-coming stars will continue to work. They are all excellent young people, all of whom have persistence, like I can trust them, and... there is Ji Mo!"
Bao Zheng smiled again: "Yanguo is indeed generous! I heard Ji Mo mention similar words. He once said to himself that life is less than a hundred years old and often worrying about a thousand years. I deeply think that I have obtained the three flavors of life."
Wen Yanbo read: "Life is less than a hundred years old... I always have a thousand years of worry, hahaha!"
Wen Yanbo smiled quite comfortably, as if he had relieved the entanglement in his heart.
People outside the Zhengshi Hall were curious when they heard the cheerful laughter of their husbands from the Zhengshi Hall, but the Zhengshi Hall was a Zhengshi Hall after all, and no one dared to act rashly.
