Reborn as a tyrant in the Ming Dynasty

For many days, the capital was quiet.

The lively streets and bustling crowds all indicate peace in the world.

It seems as if the previous farce never happened.

People are forgetful.

No matter how many things we have experienced in the past, they will fade away with time.

Is it just that Ming Dynasty is really peaceful?

This is something that needs to be verified.

……

Royal Guards House.

"Uncle Hui'an, you are in good condition. Did you encounter something happy?" Wei Shitai walked into the class room and saw Zhang Qingzhen leaning on the official hat chair, holding a tea cup in his hand, humming a ditty, Wei Shitai showed his face With a smile, he jokingly said to Zhang Qingzhen: "If you tell me, it will make me happy."

"Uncle Xuancheng is back from inspection?"

Zhang Qingzhen raised his eyebrows slightly, looked at Wei Shitai and smiled.

"Yes."

Wei Shitai took off his sword and said softly: "I went to the Fengtai Camp. The new soldiers of the Imperial Guards Mansion and the vacancies of the guards have been filled, but when it comes to training matters, I am a little worried. , it’s better to take a look.”

"Then you really need to keep an eye on it."

Zhang Qingzhen put down the tea cup and suppressed the smile on his face, "I, the Royal Imperial Army Office, are in charge of the Imperial City's imperial palace affairs, and there is nothing wrong with this."

"Yes."

Wei Shitai nodded and said: "I won't mention what happened in the past, but since we took over everything in the Imperial City, there can't be any mistakes."

Regarding some things that happened in the past, Wei Shitai, Zhang Qingzhen, and even other serving nobles of the Royal Forbidden Army all sounded the alarm in their hearts.

Since they have served in the Royal Guards Palace, they have to find their own positions in their positions. If anything else goes wrong, it is easy to explain. But if there are any mistakes in the Palace Guards, they will have no way to explain.

"I heard that Xunwei was also transferred to Fengtai Camp?"

Zhang Qingzhen thought of something, looked at Wei Shitai and said.

"Transferred."

Wei Shitai replied: "I rushed to the Fengtai camp according to the order and set up a separate camp to garrison. I heard that Cao Wenyao was in charge of the training."

"It's better to practice and practice."

Zhang Qingzhen lifted up his robe sleeves and said: "As noble children, it is their destiny to be favored by the Emperor and be selected into the Imperial Guard."

"If nothing else, staying in the Imperial Palace for a few years and doing anything is better than hanging around in Beijing and waiting to die. It's time for us nobles to turn around."

As time goes by, many things in the capital are quietly changing, especially those involving the imperial city, there are even more changes.

All kinds of changes all point to one place.

Zhu Youxiao wanted to use these adjustments to change some of the so-called old practices in the past, if for no other reason than to enhance the influence of the imperial power!

There is only one thing: the military pay and equipment of the direct personal guards affiliated to the Royal Guards Mansion are directly allocated from the internal funds. Military registration registered by the Royal Guards Mansion and opening a bank account at Tongbao Bank must be paid by the actual receipt. This puts an end to the long-standing disadvantage of spending empty wages and drinking soldiers' blood!

As for the soldiers who received full military pay, no matter what they were asked to do, they would never complain.

Loyalty requires a foundation. Loyalty without a foundation cannot withstand the test.

The trial reform carried out by Zhu Youxiao was to accumulate some experience first and lay a solid foundation for large-scale military reform in the future.

There is no such thing as perfection in the birth and operation of any system. It must gradually adjust to a relatively good existence through constant trial and error and correction.

The meal must be eaten one bite at a time.

The road must be walked step by step.

The reality is like this. Nothing can be solved by just a quick move. If it were really that simple, Ming Dynasty would not be what it is now.

"Hui Anbo hasn't told you why you are happy yet."

Wei Shitai lifted his robe and sat down, picked up the tea cup at hand, looked at Zhang Qingzhen and said something, then lifted the lid and took a sip.

"Actually, it doesn't count as a happy event."

Zhang Qingzhen looked outside the door specifically, and then smiled and said to Wei Shitai: "It's about Tongbao Bank. In the past few days, whether it is collecting savings or lending, the momentum is excellent. According to the general The accounting room of No. 1 accounts for all accounts, just one in and one out, and this year we can earn at least this amount."

As he spoke, Zhang Qingzhen extended a gesture.

"How many?!"

After Wei Shitai saw it, his eyes widened and he said in disbelief: "Is what Hui Anbo said true?"

"Can I deceive Uncle Xuancheng about such an important matter?"

Zhang Qingzhen was unhappy.

"My dear, this is really a huge profit."

Wei Shitai said with emotion: "With just this batch of loans and savings, we can earn more than a million taels. If we can continue to lend and collect savings, we will make a lot of money."

"That's for sure!"

The corner of Zhang Qingzhen's mouth raised slightly, and he said confidently: "Uncle Xuancheng, you don't know, but I have selected a group of reliable manpower and are preparing to open branches in Tongzhou, Hexiwu, Tianjin, Fangshan, and Changping. By the end of this year, Tongbao Banks must open branches in major places in Beizhili."

"Are there enough people?"

Wei Shitai said with some worry: "After all, Tongbao Yinhao is no more reliable than others, so..."

"enough!"

Zhang Qingzhen said in a sonorous tone: "The manpower provided by each company is enough to support the expansion of the existing branch, not to mention that under Tongbao Bank, we have begun to prepare for the establishment of the bank hall, which is responsible for training apprentices. Those who can enter the bank hall , are all death contracts, as long as you have the ability, you will definitely be promoted."

Zhang Qingzhen, as the left governor of the Royal Forbidden Army Mansion, is not only responsible for the responsibilities of the Royal Forbidden Army Mansion, but also takes care of the Tongbao Silver Number.

Everything is difficult at the beginning.

Zhu Youxiao also knew that it was difficult to guarantee what would happen in the future if such an important existence was placed under the direct control of the honorable nobles. But now Zhu Youxiao had too many things to do, and he could not take care of them all. If he arranged it like this again, It is also to calm the hearts of these nobles. After all, the interest bundling is still in its early stages. If they are not asked to participate in anything, there is no guarantee that they will overthink it.

Zhu Youxiao would not do such a stupid thing as throwing away the watermelon to pick up the sesame seeds.

When some things become clear and the overall situation changes, some follow-up adjustments will also appear.

As the financial lifeline of Ming Dynasty, Zhu Youxiao will definitely deprivatize it in the future, but right now, it is not the time to consider this.

"Captain Zuo, the general manager of Tongbao Bank wants to see you."

At this moment, a person walked in from outside the hall. Zhang Qingzhen and Wei Shitai frowned slightly after hearing this.

"Who asked him to come here? Don't you even understand these rules!?"

Zhang Qingzhen frowned and shouted.

"The general doesn't know either."

The man was a little timid and lowered his head.

"Uncle Hui'an, you'd better go and see him." Wei Shitai looked at Zhang Qingzhen, "Maybe something happened to Tongbao Bank."

The Royal Imperial Guard Office is located on West Chang'an Street, occupying the former office of the Baochao Department, and is next to the altar of sacrifice. Not everyone can come to this place.

Hearing what Wei Shitai said, Zhang Qingzhen's heart tightened inexplicably. After thinking for a moment, he lifted up his robe and walked quickly outside the hall.

The Tongbao Silver Hao is gaining momentum right now. If nothing big happens, the general manager of the Tongbao Yin Hao will not dare to come here. But what on earth could happen that would make him come to the Royal Imperial Guards Mansion?

When Zhang Qingzhen rushed there, in the check-in room at the main entrance of the Royal Forbidden City, the general manager of Tongbao Bank was sitting uneasily, with an extremely complicated expression. The reason was very simple. Extremely abnormal cash payments had occurred at many branches in Beijing. business……
