Chapter 239
Hu Guang turned his head and told Wang Chengen next to him, and after Wang Chengen turned to leave, he said to Xu Guangqi: "The knowledge of Xiyi can indeed make up for the shortcomings of Ming Dynasty. I don't have much time, so I only wrote a part of the content about arithmetic. Qing Take it to read, if there is anything you don’t understand, write a memorial to me after summarizing it, and I will explain it to Qing. I hope that Qing and Qing’s students can make a difference in this area!”

Arabic numerals need to be popularized and writing methods need to be changed, otherwise the promotion of mathematics, physics and chemistry will be empty talk.As for these, it is best for a courtier like Xu Guangqi to propose them, and then support them by himself.

Regarding this matter, Xu Guangqi naturally agreed to leave Beijing with mixed feelings, and no longer care about Tang Ruowang and others.

In the afternoon, inside Xuanfu City, at the gate of Fanfu, there was a long line of carriages parked.Counting down, there are seven cars in total.

In the meeting hall of the mansion, Fan Yongdou sat at the head seat, looked at the other seven people with a serious face, talked about the situation he had grasped, and finally slapped the table and said firmly: "Everyone, the situation is like this. In case, the grain already in Zhangjiakou must be sent to Liaodong immediately. Other grains must be transported to Zhangjiakou as soon as possible. Is there any doubt about this point?"

The others looked at each other, and when they were about to say something, suddenly the door of the meeting hall was pushed open, and a biting cold wind swept in, making the people inside shiver uncontrollably.

As the master, Fan Yongdou's face turned dark immediately, what's wrong with the housekeeper?There are guests here, so panicked!
When he was about to shout and scold, he saw the butler bow to the others, then quickly approached Fan Yongdou, and whispered, "Someone from Shanhaiguan came and killed a horse, saying that Sun Chengzong had ordered the Guan Ning army to come out last night." Guan patrols the grasslands and arrests any caravan..."

"What?" Fan Yongdou was surprised when he heard it, how could this be possible?He immediately asked, "What else?"

"There is still unconfirmed news that the son of Dajin Dahan, Belle Haug, has led a thousand cavalry troops over."

Fan Yongdou naturally knew that the contact with Shanhaiguan was only by word of mouth, so after listening to it, he waved his hand and asked the housekeeper to step down.

Seeing Fan Yongdou's expression changed drastically after he whispered something, and then he lowered his head in thought, the others couldn't help but get a little nervous, and asked one after another: "Brother Fan, what happened?"

"Brother Fan, if you have something to say, let's discuss it together!"

"..."

After hearing this, Fan Yongdou raised his head to look at them, gave an overview of the situation, and then said: "The risk of sending food out at this time is too high, so we won't send it out for now. What do you think?"

"This is the best way, first transport all the food, and then go back and transport it away at once." Wang Dengku responded with a smile.

But Jin Liangyu didn't feel right. He said to Fan Yongdou: "Except for the Ming army in Yulin who might go out to the grasslands, this has never happened in other places. This is strange!"

Fan Yongdou nodded after listening, frowned and said: "From the news, it seems that Daikin leaked the news, otherwise it would be impossible to know that Haoge Baylor is coming, and the number of people is specific."

"That's fine, let Lord Baylor take the food away by himself, and it will save us a lot of effort!" Huang Yunfa said nonchalantly.

Fan Yongdou didn't agree right away, listening to the other people talking there.After a while, he said with a serious face: "We have to guard against the previous risks. Let's give up another [-]% of the profits and put them under the name of Mr. Zhongcheng. In this way, even if the new chief soldier arrives, if we don't cooperate , and dare not be rude to Lord Zhongcheng! Is that so good?"

If the business has reached their level, the risk must be something they have to consider.Although it is necessary to give up [-]% of the profit, it can be guaranteed, and it can further shorten the relationship with the governor of Xuanfu.After some calculations in their hearts, these big Jin merchants agreed.

Hu Guang, who was far away in the capital, naturally did not expect to leave the grain in the pass by mistake.At this time, he finally heard the news he had always wanted to hear: the Baigan Army would be able to arrive at the capital on the morning of the third day of the Lunar New Year.

After Hu Guang thought for a while, he secretly summoned Han Shengcai and Hu Zhengyan.Looking at the stiff two people, he smiled and said to Hu Zhengyan first: "Over 40 taels of Daming banknotes have been used and have not been exchanged back into silver taels. It is a good start. However, the previous Daming banknotes still have defects. Don't use the version!"

When Hu Zhengyan heard this, he was slightly taken aback.Those banknotes took him a lot of painstaking efforts, and they were carefully checked before printing.He was a bit puzzled, so he bowed and asked for instructions: "I don't know what the defect is, please show me your Majesty!"

When Han Sheng heard it, he realized that the person next to him was the one who printed such exquisite banknotes, and he couldn't help admiring him.

Hu Guang asked Wang Chengen, the fourth person in the hall, to hand over the sample on the imperial case to Hu Zhengyan, and said to him: "It is not necessary to print the legal name of the government office on the Ming banknotes!"

"Central Bank of Ming Dynasty!" Hu Zhengyan couldn't help but read aloud after taking a look at the samples.

Hu Guang nodded with a smile and said: "Yes, the Daming Central Bank! I will decree to establish it soon, and Qing will be the first president of the Daming Central Bank, and also the director of the Banknote Printing Department. The fifth grade will be directly under the cabinet. "

Having said that, he turned his head to look at Han Shengcai and said, "Han Qing is the vice president of the Daming Central Bank and the director of the Finance Department. From the fifth grade, he mainly analyzes and studies the financial situation of Daming, controls the circulation of banknotes, and controls the financial situation. risk."

Seeing their confused faces, Hu Guang explained their respective functions to them in detail.Originally, according to the strengths of the two of them, Han Shengcai was the right candidate to be the president, because he had a better understanding of finance, but he was helpless.

But Hu Zhengyan was born in Juren, and when he was promoted to the position of top leader, he could be more recognized by the officialdom.However, he is good at printing, and more energy will be spent on the innovation of printing technology and anti-counterfeiting.

For Han Shengcai, such an arrangement was already overjoyed.But Hu Guang didn't finish his sentence, "Cao Huachun, the admiral of Dongchang, rushed to Suzhou early yesterday morning, and your brother will be safe by then. I will see you later, and if it is as you said, I plan to appoint He was the first president of Daming Construction Bank..."

Hu Guang knew that they couldn't understand, so he roughly explained the structure operation and other content, which opened Hu Zhengyan and Han Sheng's eyes, and at the same time, made Han Sheng very happy.

After Hu Zhengyan retreated first, Hu Guang suddenly said to Han Shengcai seriously: "We are going to do it soon. I need Han Qing to set off with the army and point out all the places where they hide their supplies. Can you do it?"
