Chapter 1173 Traveling to Jiangnan
Chapter 1173 Traveling to Jiangnan
Zhou Xing and Wang Anshi were so shocked by Lin Zhen's groundbreaking "bank" concept that they were stunned for a long time.
They felt that their morning court session today was more exciting than the past ten years.
First, His Majesty's "globalization strategy" excited them.
Then came the prince's "financial nuclear weapon," which sent chills down their spines.
This couple is simply inhuman!
They are two monsters who descended from the heavens, born specifically to overthrow this world!
"The king...the prince..."
Zhou Xing's voice was trembling.
"You...your move is just too...too..."
He pondered for a long time but couldn't come up with a suitable word to describe it.
He felt that no words could describe the insidiousness and malice of this move.
"That's brilliant, isn't it?"
Lin Zhen, with a smug look on his face, continued the story for him.
Zhou Xing and Wang Anshi could only nod with bitter expressions.
What else could they say?
Faced with absolute dimensional reduction, any resistance and questioning seem so pale and powerless.
Murong Yan looked at her husband's shameless appearance, as if he had gotten the benefit but was still acting innocent.
It was both funny and sad.
She knew that this man was up to no good again.
However, she had to admit it.
His idea for a "bank" was truly a stroke of genius.
It was like an invisible thread that perfectly connected all the grand plans she had just put forward.
This forms an impeccable closed loop.
With banks, they had a constant supply of cheap funds.
With the funds, they could build more factories and create a more powerful fleet.
With factories and a fleet, they could produce more goods and earn more wealth.
The wealth earned can then be injected back into the bank, forming a virtuous cycle that can be infinitely looped!
This is simply a super money-printing machine that never stops!
"Husband, you..."
She looked at Lin Zhen, and in her beautiful phoenix eyes, there was nothing but admiration and endless love.
She felt that she was the happiest woman in the world.
To be able to marry a man who can not only accompany her to watch the stars and the moon, but also guide her in discussing national affairs and strategizing for the world.
What do you want?
At this moment, she was still wearing the Phoenix Descent Dress, which served as her only nightgown.
The extremely dark black Suzhou brocade fabric, because of her excited and slightly heaving chest, shimmered with a layer of obsidian-like hard and shiny luster.
The colossal phoenix embroidered with real gold thread seemed to be rejoicing for its owner's upcoming new business empire.
From his phoenix eyes burst forth an unprecedented, fiery golden light, brimming with both wisdom and greed!
The five-zhang-long dark gold Suzhou brocade train stretched out freely from behind the high phoenix throne, like a broad road paved with gold and power leading to the top of the world!
That luxurious disarray, at this moment, is no longer lazy, but an absolute domineering aura that wants to take all the wealth in the world into its own hands!
"Alright, that's settled then."
Murong Yan made the final decision.
"Effective immediately, the preparatory office for the 'Daqian Royal Bank' shall be established."
"Zhou Xing, the Minister of Revenue, was appointed as the chief person in charge of the preparatory office."
"Ministry of Personnel, Ministry of Works, Ministry of Rites, cooperate fully!"
"I want to see the first bank of our Great Qian Dynasty officially open for business in Chang'an within a month!"
"My lord, I obey your order!"
Zhou Xing and a group of relevant officials immediately knelt down to receive the imperial decree.
They were all flushed with excitement, as if they had been injected with chicken blood.
They knew that a financial revolution, capable of changing the landscape of the Great Qian Dynasty and even the entire world, was being initiated today by their Emperor and Prince!
……
After the next court.
Lin Zhen and Murong Yan returned to Qifeng Pavilion.
"My husband, you're getting worse and worse."
Murong Yan leaned against Lin Zhen's chest, playing with his large, well-defined hands, her voice carrying a hint of helpless coquettishness.
"Why am I broken?"
Lin Zhen looked at her with an innocent expression.
"Look how scared you've made Minister Zhou and the others; their faces have turned pale."
Murong Yan gave him a reproachful look and rolled her eyes.
Was I trying to scare them?
Lin Zhen was unhappy.
"I was teaching them a lesson!"
"They are being taught what the true way to govern a country is!"
"Hmph, fallacy."
Although Murong Yan said that, she was secretly overjoyed.
She loved seeing him act so domineering and shameless.
"By the way, my husband."
She suddenly remembered something.
"Now that the arrangements for the banks and commercial banks have been made..."
"Then, shouldn't we also set off for Jiangnan?"
"When do you want to go?"
"In...in the next few days."
This time, Murong Yan really wanted to go to Jiangnan to see the slender horses of Yangzhou and the snow-covered Broken Bridge.
These local features, which only exist in storybooks, fascinated her so much that she wished she could leave today and go tomorrow.
She thought about it carefully and said, "While the banks and trading companies haven't officially opened yet."
"The affairs of the court are relatively less busy."
"Okay, it's all up to you."
Lin Zhen nodded. Actually, he had wanted to go out and relax for a while. There had been too many things going on lately, one after another, which was giving him a headache.
If you can go out for a stroll and enjoy the beautiful scenery, that would be wonderful.
Besides, his little wife really couldn't wait a moment longer.
I didn't want to keep her waiting any longer; I owed her far too much.
It's time to make it up to her.
As for how to compensate... we'll talk about it on the way.
Anyway, there will only be the two of them in the car, so they can compensate however they want.
However, this matter should not be done in a big way; we must enter the village quietly and not fire a single shot.
then.
Three days later.
A caravan disguised as ordinary merchants, consisting of two hundred of the most elite "Night Owl" assassins.
They then escorted Lin Zhen and Murong Yan.
They left Chang'an City quietly.
Heading south, we ventured towards the picturesque and infinitely possible water towns of Jiangnan!
The carriage slowly traveled along the official road leading to Jiangnan.
The wheels made a rhythmic "gurgling" sound as they rolled over the bluestone pavement.
Outside the car window, there were endless green hills and clear waters, and scattered white walls and black tiles.
The air was filled with a unique, damp scent, carrying the fragrance of grass and earth.
All of this is in stark contrast to the dry and rugged landscape of the North.
It is filled with a captivating gentleness and grace.
At this moment, Murong Yan was perched on the car window like a curious cat.
Her beautiful phoenix eyes were fixed on the beautiful scenery of Jiangnan outside the window, a view she had never seen before.
His face was filled with novelty and excitement.
