Chapter 73                                                             �

Zhou Mengchen arranged two disciples, and the next day his group followed Zhou Mengchen back to Chaoyi. Under Han Bangqi's operation, Yang Jie and Feng Congdao chose Chaoyi County. No, Han Bangqi was in Chaoyi County, so he was in a position. Not to mention going to the county government to read some old files, it would be fine to let the two live in the county government.

Well, in fact, they really have to live in the county government for a while. After all, many documents seem to be useless, but the court has regulations on this. That is, these documents cannot be brought out of the county government.

Of course, this rule has long expired.

But whether they are students or should they abide by the court's regulations, they should not ignore these court rules just because the binding force is no longer strong.

After Zhou Mengchen arrived in Xi'an, he made a short stay. He mainly dealt with two things, one thing, and Tang Shiying finally left. The new governor of Shaanxi was about to take office. Zhou Mengchen also wanted to meet again, and the second thing was to meet Zhang Yunling. After all, the plan of Xin Hengqu Academy still requires Zhang Yunling to bleed.

When I saw Tang Shiying, there was no need to say much, I just bid farewell. Zhou Mengchen promised Tang Shiying that once he had the chance, he would definitely get back to him. When he let him enjoy the joy of family in his hometown, don’t forget to take care of himself and prepare to serve the court.

Zhou Mengchen had just met Tang Shiying and pulled his mind out of the sadness of farewell. However, he was not worried about the situation that Tang Shiying would have reversed after leaving Shaanxi. First, Tang Shiying had already done everything he should do during this period. Another reason was that Zhou Mengchen had reached an alliance with the Guanxue faction. Even if the governor who had just taken office was powerful, he could not make any trouble for a while. He really thought that the local gentry in Guanzhong was a vegetarian.

It can be said that the gentry in various parts of the Ming Dynasty had strong and weak power. In dealing with the court, each of them was not vegetarian. It was okay for the new governor of Shaanxi to do something else, but it was impossible to overthrow some policies of Zhou Mengchen and Tang Shiying.

"Sir," Xu Wei said: "Zhang Yunling is here."

Zhou Mengchen nodded, with a calm expression and said, "Please come over."

After Zhang Yunling came in to salute, he said, "Sir, the King of Qin has entered the Yellow River Bank, and all 500,000 taels are converted into equity. The 100,000 shares of the 100,000 shares have not moved at all."

Zhou Mengchen smiled softly and said, "Why do you have to? Isn't this asking you to fill the hole for me?"

Zhang Yunling said: "These 500,000 taels are regarded as the donation of the Yellow River Bank to the court."

Zhou Mengchen discovered something more and more. Banks are too profitable. They would rather lose some small money by making money, such as these 500,000 taels.

Zhou Mengchen was a little sad for a moment. It seemed that the consortium was created by him personally. Before that, the Shanxi merchants were still a loose group. There were many relationships within the Shanxi merchants. For example, although the Shanxi merchants now have intersections with the eight great masters of Shanxi merchants in later generations, they are essentially different.

Now, with the Puzhou system as the core and the Yellow River Bank as the network, it is integrated into a bank with a principal of more than 10 million taels. Moreover, behind this bank, the entire Shanxi merchant group is involved, and Zhou Mengchen cannot say how many such related assets are.

After all, there have been conflicts between Shanxi merchants and Shanxi merchants before and they cannot form a joint force. But now, under the organization of the Yellow River Bank, a collective has formed. Zhou Mengchen cannot speculate how powerful it is.

But he understood one thing, as if capitalism had been opened by him.

Now it is conducive to industrialization, but Zhou Mengchen doesn't know what the future will be. Therefore, when Zhou Mengchen fleeed the Shanxi merchants, he never had a psychological burden. After all, he never had any good feelings for capitalists, but as a result, capitalists will promote the development of industrialization, and Zhou Mengchen can find the best ally to replace the gentry who mainly relies on land and food.

Of course, Zhou Mengchen doesn’t think about whether there will be a day to turn against each other in the future. Anyway, turning against each other is like turning against each other in the book. Shouldn’t it be a normal operation?

After years of experience, Zhou Mengchen's politician attributes have become somewhat more refined.

Zhou Mengchen told Zhang Yunling the plan of the new Hengqu Academy. As Zhou Mengchen expected, Zhang Yunling immediately expressed his opinion: "This matter is a cultural event. Even if the adults don't say it, as long as I hear it, I will definitely help with good deeds. No matter how much Hengqu Academy costs, I am here to express my opinion that the Yellow River Bank and our Zhang family are all in charge."

Zhou Mengchen said, "It would be great if Mr. Zhang has this intention."

Zhang Yunling said: "When it comes to running a school, I have some difficulties here, so please give me some advice."

Zhou Mengchen said, "What's the matter?"

Zhang Yunling said: "It's nothing else, it's just that the Yellow River Bank is short of people."

Zhou Mengchen said, "Is it because you Shanxi merchants are not enough staff?"

Zhang Yunling said: "To be honest, the Yellow River Bank needs too many accounts. Shanxi merchants have already selected extra staff and put them into the bank, but what is wrong is still not enough. It is not easy for us merchants to train shopkeepers to have accounting, and they will not support more people. There are many idle people. And the business of each company needs to be maintained. I really can't get out of the staff. Can adults transfer more staff from Datong?"

Zhou Mengchen smiled slightly. He knew that there was probably the reason for the rapid expansion of Shanxi merchants' business territory. Needless to say, relying on the Yellow River Bank has led to the expansion of other commercial territory of Shanxi merchants. For example, grain merchants have also made considerable profits from transporting grain from the Jianghuai River. This business has caused many Shanxi merchants to be overwhelmed. Although the new commercial organizations are still in the process of running-in, they have played a huge role, which has caused a large shortage of Shanxi merchants' manpower.

Zhou Mengchen said: "How many people use Datong Academy together? I'm afraid you know it. I won't do anything to fish in the water. I really want people. I'll wait until the students graduate next year."

Zhang Yunling said: "Of course we know what the adults mean. But since he wants to run Hengqu Academy, can he set up a class with a professor's account in Hengqu Academy? On behalf of the Yellow River Bank, I promised that he would give Hengqu Academy double the money."

Zhou Mengchen laughed and felt very proud.

He had actually been worried before that the students of Datong Academy had learned a lot of inappropriate knowledge and could have a suitable job in the future. But now, there is no need to worry. Yellow River Bank, other banks that have already come to the future, are enough to digest these students'.

Of course, this is not what makes him happiest. What he is most happy about is that the academy system he founded has become increasingly closer to modern universities. Zhou Mengchen even felt that after his death, he could probably add the title of founder of a modern university.

Even Zhou Mengchen didn't care too much about this title. After all, when a person dies, all titles are false.

He was happy with the profound social changes behind this. This social changes promoted by him. The traditional agricultural society of the Ming Dynasty was being pushed into other tracks by Zhou Mengchen bit by bit. This can be seen from this matter. You should know that the scholars in the Ming Dynasty either took the imperial examination or did academic research. Many losers withdrew from this industry and were forced to do other business. Datong Academy took the modern university model, and the students of Datong Academy could find their own position in society, which was caused by changes in social attributes.

Zhou Mengchen said: "I naturally agree to this matter, but Hengqu Academy is not Datong Academy. I said, it doesn't count. You'd better talk to Uncle Han about this matter. If he agrees, this matter will be easier."

Zhang Yunling said: "If you have this sentence from an adult, you will know what to do."

Zhou Mengchen knew as soon as he heard this, Zhang Yunling must have made a fortune. He told Han Bangqi that he had agreed. He thought that Han Bangqi would not refute Zhou Mengchen's face. After knowing the truth in the future, it would be a waste of time.

However, Zhou Mengchen was not prepared to expose it. After all, he was really happy to see this happen. Everyone trained will be Zhou Mengchen's disciples. In the future, it will be Zhou Mengchen's help.

Zhou Mengchen not only wanted to master the truth, but also did not prevent him from seeking a large number of people and powerful people.
