C130 Royal Central Bank
At this time, there was actually no guard or palace maid in front of the Gathering Excellence Palace.
His many years of experience as a guard gave him a strong intuition. This intuition told him that Eldest Imperial Princess was in danger, and the high level fire mage was most likely hiding in the Gathering Excellence Palace.
Zhao Zhentian didn't care about the pain in his body. He dragged the wound on his chest and walked up the stairs in front of the Gathering Excellence Palace, arriving in front of the door.
However, Gathering Excellence Palace was Eldest Imperial Princess's chambers. As the imperial bodyguard, Zhao Zhentian did not have the guts to barge in.
Lowering his voice, Zhao Zhentian knocked on the door and asked urgently, "Changwu Li, Changwu Li."
There was a rustling sound from inside the door, then Eldest Imperial Princess's voice sounded, "Is it Commander Zhao? What's the matter? "
Hearing Eldest Imperial Princess's voice, Zhao Zhentian felt slightly relieved and continued, "Zhang Lili, there's an assassin in the palace. Can you open the door and let me in to take a look?"
There was another rustling, and then a squeak, and the door opened from the inside.
Chu Yue stood at the door and looked at the chaotic scene in front of the Zi Jin Hall that was over a hundred feet away. She asked worriedly, "Did the palace lose water? I just heard a siren. "
While they were talking, Chu Yue stepped aside to let Zhao Zhentian into the house.
Zhao Zhentian narrowed his eyes as he continued to emit the "Flame Shadow Appearance" martial skill while carefully observing the situation within the Gathering Excellence Palace.
But soon, a trace of disappointment appeared in Zhao Zhentian's heart. Under the perception of his martial arts wave, that tiny fire elemental wave had completely disappeared.
Clearly, the high-ranked fire mage had already left the area.
Turning around, Zhao Zhentian looked at Chu Yue seriously, and said: "Eldest Imperial Princess, why is the palace maid and guard at the Gathering Excellence Palace entrance gone? Do you hear anything? "
Chu Yue smiled and said, "You're talking about them ah. At the Hai hour, I let them rest. Speaking of which, I was too careless. I always thought that there was no need to arrange so many people to keep watch in this inner palace. I never thought that there would be an assassin tonight. "
Hearing Chu Yue's words, Zhao Zhentian's inner tone completely relaxed. He said seriously: "Eldest Imperial Princess, your body is very important. Those palace maids and guards must not leave. Otherwise, if something goes wrong, we won't be able to take responsibility."
Chu Yue smiled and said, "Commander Zhao, I have troubled you. From today onwards, I will have them stand guard at the door."
Looking at Chu Yue's self-reproach, Zhao Zhentian felt a bit embarrassed. Finally, he said: "Eldest Imperial Princess, if you feel anything strange, immediately send someone to inform me."
Chu Yue smiled and nodded.
After Zhao Zhentian left the Gathering Excellence Palace, Chu Yue closed the door, went back to the bed with light footsteps, and laid on it.
Staring at the ceiling above her, Chu Yue's lips curled up into a beautiful smile. In the past, she had only heard stories about magic that could summon the wind, rain, and fire, but now, she herself had become a mage. She didn't expect this job to be so interesting.
"Ah." Eldest Imperial Princess Chu Yue yawned and turned over, hugging a quilt as she fell into a deep sleep.
The next day, Ye Tian came to the royal Bureau of Mint very early. Due to the letter Denean left for him, Ye Tian was anxious to understand the financial situation of the Imperial Household Department.
Denean was in the office of the Chief of Bureau of Mint, calculating the total amount of coins that would be used for the next month. Seeing Ye Tian enter, Denean said with a hint of surprise, "Every time I return to Jade Lake West Garden to find Master, Master is not here. I must be busy with all sorts of things.
Hearing Denean's words, Ye Tian blushed a little. He gave the burden of being in charge of the imperial Bureau of Mint and Imperial Household Department to Denean on the way.
Ye Tian smiled in embarrassment, and said: "I've read your letter, the financial situation of the Imperial Household Department is in crisis, I came here specifically today to take a look."
Denean frowned, "Originally, it was more than enough. Instructor Lin had gathered more than 300 people all at once, and without any explanation, they all had to be equipped with the best weapons and equipment. The money that they originally had was spent all at once. "As they continue to train, they will still require a steady stream of silver to be invested. Right now, their Imperial Household Department is already in the situation of being in debt, if this situation does not change, I'm afraid that even the palace's rate of usage cannot be guaranteed."
When Ye Tian heard this, he was shocked. Last time in the Imperial Study, Ye Tian had already hinted to the emperor that his Imperial Household Department was no longer in a tight state where he was short of funds. The emperor was even secretly happy. In less than a month's time, his Imperial Household Department had already become a business of debt.
Ye Tian sat on the chair next to Denean and thought for a while. Then he said, "How is the planning for the central bank that you talked about last time?"
Hearing Ye Tian's words, Denean became spirited and said, "The planning is almost done, so there shouldn't be a big problem. But in the name of the bank, I have a question. "
Ye Tian asked, "What questions?"1
Denean said, "I don't know why my lord particularly likes the word 'central'. I think that the word 'central' is far less attractive to the commoners than the word 'royal'. Ordinary citizens, if they were to hear the name of the royal family, would definitely be engrossed in it. However, they would not be very sensitive to the name of the central government. In the eyes of the commoners, the royal family was the Son of Heaven, the most trustworthy and valuable guarantee in this world. "Therefore, I feel that it would be better to change the name of the bank from Central Bank to Royal Bank.
Ye Tian nodded. Compared to the world in his previous life, the ordinary citizens of this world had no concept of the central government. However, they revered and worshiped the royal family. Denean was right, after the central bank changes its Royal Bank, it would become extremely attractive to the common people.
Thinking about this, Ye Tian said: "Alright, then we'll follow your decision. The central bank will change into Royal Bank and implement the national chain branch plan. There is one more thing, the Royal Bureau of Mint has merged with the Royal Bank and has become a coin-making department of the Royal Bank. "
After saying that, Ye Tian thought for a moment and continued: "This matter should be done quickly but not slowly. You need to do it quickly and report back to me as soon as possible. I'll think of a solution."
Denean smiled. "There's a big problem right now. Since we have to open branches in all the counties of the empire, we'll need a lot of investment to set up the properties, personnel, goods, money, and so on."
Saying this, Denean spread her hands and helplessly said, "I don't have any money now. Even though the rate of consumption in the palace will decrease after the first month, the expenditure on the Divine Weapon Camp will still continue to increase. If this trend continues, then at most, in another two months, the Divine Weapon Camp will lose its source of funding. "
Ye Tian felt a headache listening to this, previously, he was planning a national chain of Aroma Workshop plans with Ouyang Ruochen, which similarly required a huge amount of funds.
With a sigh, Ye Tian murmured, "Money is still lacking."
The two remained silent for a while. Ye Tian suddenly thought of his previous life, where the government used to issue bonds to raise money. After pondering for a moment, Ye Tian raised his head and looked at Denean as he said: "See if this will work. Let's set up a Royal Central Bank in the capital first. In the name of Royal Central Bank, he publicly issued a type of bond. The bonds had a time limit of at least three years, up to five years, up to ten years, with a certain interest. After the people bought the bonds, after a certain period of time, they could redeem the money from the Royal Bank with interest. With the Royal family's guarantee, I believe the commoners should still be very interested. "
Denean's eyes lit up as she pondered over Ye Tian's words. "Issuing Royal bonds? This is a good idea. First, with the Royal Family as a guarantor, the trust in the eyes of the common people is naturally very high. Second, the funds recovered can be used to set up a branch in each county, opening exchange operations as soon as possible to earn profits. "
"This is called borrowing money from commoners to do business with the royal family." Ye Tian said with a smile.
At this moment, the way Denean looked at Ye Tian was full of admiration. In Denean's eyes, her talent in financial accounting and statistics was incomparable, at least in the capital. She was quite confident in that. There were so many financial functions within the council's Ministry of Tax Administration, their standards really didn't enter her eyes.
She believed that the difficulties she faced in this area would be difficult for other finance officials to overcome. However, the Your Excellency Ye in front of her could always be inspired and propose all kinds of solutions. More importantly, these methods, theoretically speaking, are not unorthodox; they are indeed feasible.
Ye Tian said: "It's probably just this line of thought. Go ahead and do it. First, we will put up the name of Royal Bank, and with the money to go back, we will slowly establish a sub-name for Royal Bank in all the counties in the empire. "
Denean acknowledged him and pondered for a moment. She then said, "Master, your idea is completely suitable to solve the problem of the lack of funds for the Royal Bank's branch numbers that are opened throughout the country. However, just relying on the Royal Bank in the capital alone, even if we have the capital to go back, in the face of the problem of the Divine Weapon Camp requiring a large amount of funds to be invested in a short period of time, it is still like a cup of water in a cart of water.
After pausing for a while, Denean continued, "Right now, the biggest problem is actually the huge consumption in Divine Weapon Camp. We need to think of a way to earn a lot of money in a short period of time. "
Hearing Denean's words, Ye Tian fell into deep thought again.
