September was indeed a troublesome month for the Kingdom of Han. First, the Supreme Court of the Kingdom of Han and its subordinate courts were established, which made Jing Shou and others as busy as dogs. Finally, everything was ready. The Court was officially established and successfully tried the case of Zhao Yong, the former county magistrate of the county and county magistrate, and the next level court was also opened in Langya, Hejian, Tianhe, Liaoxi and other places, which was considered to be on the right track.

If the Han Kingdom has created a new yamen and did not surprise people on the mainland, then the incident that happened in Jicheng is big or small is even more eye-catching. After all, it is not rare for the Han Kingdom to like to be innovative. From Gao Yuan to now, he has done too many things that shock the world, but this time the severe punishment of Cao Tianci, the president of the Supervision Bureau, was really surprising.

Who is Cao Tianci? Not to mention the huge influence of the Cao family in the Han Dynasty, Cao Tianci alone, in the Han Dynasty, if Cao Tianci was the second person who was deeply trusted by the king Gao Yuan, then no one dared to say that he was the first. But this time the punishment for Cao Tianci was unprecedentedly severe. Cao Tianci was punished to stay in the door and think about it for three months, and the Supervision Bureau was temporarily handed over to the Third Princess Ning Xin to take charge. If this was just a fur, then the General Law Department was separated from the Supervision Bureau, which was a real deprivation of a large part of Cao Tianci's power.

The Military Law Department was separated from the Supervision Bureau and established as a new military court. It was directly managed by the Ministry of War. In other words, the Supervision Bureau lost its right to speak in the army. This was a heavy blow to the Supervision Bureau.

Everyone was speculating on the reason why King Gao Yuan of Han made a big spy on Lei Ting this time, but the person involved did not say a word, and the person who was deeply familiar with the inside story closed his mouth. The reason was that the outside world was ignorant. Apart from some irrelevant speculation, it was apart from the facts and facts.

But as time went on, everyone finally saw some clues. After punishing Cao Tianci heavily, the other two rewards finally made everyone realize it.

Wu Kai and Cao Tiancheng were both granted titles.

In the Kingdom of Han, it is a title of honor and has no practical benefits. Other countries will have corresponding fiefs to the lords who are granted the title of the lords, but in the Han Dynasty, this is not the case. The lords are just a recognition of your past achievements and there is no corresponding fiefs to you. In addition to being a lord, those who are named the lords are not only honored for their own face and honor, but also have a high status, but only receive an additional salary from the Ministry of Revenue. This is very different from the lords of Qin and Chu. The two countries, the lords of the lords, have a large piece of fiefs as food and gifts.

However, considering the Han Dynasty's policy of strictly prohibiting land annexation, this is understandable.

Based on the above situation, officials who are quite sensitive to politics finally realized that the king was consciously suppressing the Fufeng faction, because the two who were granted this time were from Fufeng County.

The meaning of the person who has removed some of his real power, but he has rewarded two empty titles. He can't understand it very well.

According to convention, both of them who were named Hou Ye should rush to Jicheng and give a thank-you ceremony to King Gao Yuan of Han. Although Hou Ye was a false title in Han State, it was a rare number, which was a treat that could not be obtained.

The first person to come back was Cao Tiancheng. Since the negotiations with Qin, as the head of Sihai Trading, the business pillar of the Great Han Kingdom, Cao Tiancheng went to Qin to negotiate business matters with the other party. The focus was on negotiations with the Yongqin Chamber of Commerce controlled by the Qin court. The Yongqin Chamber of Commerce was a hurdle that Sihai Trading could not avoid. If the goods of the Great Han Dynasty wanted to enter Qin, they had to reach a consensus with the Yongqin Chamber of Commerce. Cao Tiancheng went there, one was to negotiate with the other party, and the other was to poach the corner. The Yongqin Chamber of Commerce was not a solid piece, but Gao Yuan believed that as long as he was a merchant, he would pursue profits. Then, under the temptation of the huge profits of Sihai Trading, he was not afraid that some high-ranking and powerful people in the Yongqin Chamber of Commerce would not cooperate with their own side. In fact, Cao Tiancheng's actions to Qin this time also gained a lot, laying a solid foundation for the large number of Han commodities to enter and pour into Qin.

This is the first step to destroy the Qin State's economy. Compared with the Qin State's still small workshop-style home production, the Han Dynasty has now begun large-scale production of factories, and a large amount of idle funds have entered the commercial system, causing a series of technological innovations and the establishment of large factories. The cost of various commodities has been further reduced. The competition among factory owners in their own country is even more cruel, which makes them urgently need a new market to sell their products. Then, the Qin State became the first choice.

First, Qin has now signed a peace agreement with Han, and the two sides have stopped war. Secondly, compared with Han, Qin's territory is not as good as the current Han, but its population is far better than that of Han, and there are people, so there are consumption. For the same commodity, the price of Qin's own production is about twice as expensive as that of Han. The factory owners of the Han Dynasty believe that as long as they can successfully enter the Qin market, they can easily make a lot of profits.

The second choice is naturally Chu State, but the state of war between Chu State and Han State is still in a state of war. The products sold to Chu State are more likely to be smuggled. The risk is extremely huge. If one is bad, it is lost. The larger market of Chu State than Qin State makes the factory owners of the Han Dynasty salivate.

What excited Gao Yuan was that the Qin people, whether they were their new king Ying Ying, their first defeat Fan Sui, or their think tank Li Ru, had not yet realized the devastating blow to the Qin economy that opened the market would bring to the Qin economy. In their opinion, this was just a small path. When they realized it, it was probably too late.

When Jicheng's punishment for Cao Tianci was announced, Cao Tiancheng had already returned to Yuyang from Qin. After learning the news, he was shocked and ran around without stopping for more than ten days, eating, drinking, defecating and urinating on the carriage, and finally returned to Jicheng as quickly as possible.

"This group of bastards who are not satisfied with the snake swallowing elephant actually took Tianci as the rafter." Sitting in Lingxiao Pavilion, Cao Tiancheng was angry after listening to Gao Yuan's story about this matter. "I and them all went to bed. When we were in Fufeng, we had a meal and didn't even have the last meal, and even our butt was exposed. It was light to say that it was light to be uncovered. Now a person is five or six, and he is still making trouble. After returning home, I see that I am not afraid of Tianci's legs being broken."

"This matter has passed!" Gao Yuan smiled and shook his head. "Tianci will not stay at home. I have something else to let him do. As for the people who came out of Fufeng, I hope to learn from this matter and not have any trouble. They should understand that my friendship with them has never changed from beginning to end. It is good for people to have a desire to move upward, which is not a problem, but the problem is that they must have the ability to match them. For example, Zheng Xiaoyang saw Meng Chong, Xu Yuan and others all became commanders with one hand on their own. As an old Fufeng person, he has always been a commander. It is understandable that he has some resentment in his heart, but can I rest assured to let him take the upper hand on his own? He lacks ability but sits in a high position, which will not only harm others, but also harm himself."

"What the king said is, my Cao family is highly valued by the king. No matter what other people do, my Cao family only follows the leader of the king." Cao Tiancheng shouted: "We will do whatever the king asks us to do."

"I know this." Gao Yuan smiled and said, "This time you were named Hou Ye to reward you for your contribution to the Han Dynasty over the years. From the earliest you served as our logistics coordinator, to now you are the shopkeeper of the Sihai Trading Company, you are the busiest one in our Han Dynasty."

"Tiancheng has no other ability, but he is still a bit talented in doing business." Cao Tiancheng smiled and said, "The busier I am, the happier I am. If I really have nothing to do, I will be suffocated."

"Tiancheng, you should have passed fifty this year, right?" Gao Yuan asked with a smile.

"Yes, it's already fifty, and it's fifty. I was poor back then. I was in my early thirties when I got married. Now Tianci is in his twenties." Cao Tiancheng nodded and said.

"I'm not young anymore, and I'm running around outside again. The outsider said that I don't care about you, so I've been thinking about it and ready to reorganize Sihai Trading. From now on, you will be in Jicheng and just take charge of the plate." Gao Yuan smiled and said, "Don't think too much. This is not because I'm worried that you will cut off your power, but as the form develops, Sihai Trading is indeed time to reorganize."

"Tiancheng has no other idea!" Cao Tiancheng shook his head and said, "The king was very worried. The plate of the four seas trading market is too large and the scale is huge. Sometimes even I feel a little scared. If any link in this is wrong, it will affect the entire Han Kingdom. However, Tiancheng is talented and knowledgeable, but he can't think of a good idea."

"I am going to set up a new department, called the Ministry of Commerce. I want you to be the minister and specialize in managing the country's industry and commerce. Sihai Trading will also establish an industry association in each industry according to the differences between trade experts. Each association chooses a chairman, and in the future, the operations of each industry will be left to them by themselves. The Ministry of Commerce only needs to take charge of the overall market and formulate a series of policies. Sihai Trading is created by you, and it is most appropriate for you to take charge of this Ministry of Commerce."

"Founder the Ministry of Commerce?" Cao Tiancheng pondered for a moment, "We were under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Revenue before, so after?"

"I will be reorganized into the Ministry of Finance, and you will no longer be under their jurisdiction. Of course, the taxes from industry and commerce will naturally be under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Finance. The Ministry of Finance will no longer manage the business operations of the Ministry of Commerce." Gao Yuandao." Give you greater rights and create more wealth for the Han Kingdom."

"Tiancheng will do his best to do this." Cao Tiancheng nodded vigorously.

"By the way, when you come back this time, you not only have to worry about the establishment of the Ministry of Commerce, but also assist Wang Wudi in doing another thing." Gao Yuan said: "This matter is extraordinary. Once it fails, it will really cause our great man to face a catastrophe."

Cao Tiancheng was surprised, "I don't know what's going on?"

"Wang Wudi is planning to establish the Central Bank of the Kingdom of Dahan. In the future, the central bank will issue unified paper currency. By the way, it is silver notes. However, now there are many kinds of silver notes in our country, with as many as dozens of types. Wang Wudi is preparing to unify the style of silver notes. In the future, the currency issued by the Kingdom of Dahan will have the right to circulation. Other silver notes will be gradually cancelled. I wanted to do this before, but because we did not have enough gold and silver to prepare, we could not put it on the agenda, but with Kou Shuguang sailing

Successfully, there is finally enough gold and silver to prepare in our treasury, and this matter can finally be done. There is no problem with the credit of our Han Kingdom. With the national credit as the background, unify the currency, and gradually cancel the function of copper coins and gold and silver as currency in the market. This is a huge thing. Wang Wudi has now organized a class of up to 100 people to prepare for this matter. You can put aside it in it. With your experience in Sihai Trading for the past few years, it can effectively help them avoid many detours."

"I understand!" Cao Tiancheng nodded, "This is indeed a huge thing. I will call some right-hand assistants with experience or experience in this area to help do this. Wang Shang, do you still remember Mei Yipo?"

"Remember, I am a good businessman from Plum Blossom." Gao Yuan smiled.

"This person has told me some ideas about this before, and it is also about the circulation of money. This person can reuse it."
