In the blink of an eye, it is mid-December, which is already the coldest winter season, but it is about to usher in another new spring in the Qin Dynasty.

As spring is approaching, a major and exciting news came from the southeast. Under the command of Wang Ben, the imperial army once again severely damaged the Xiang rebels. Tens of thousands of troops surrounded and blocked the Xiang rebels and fled in all directions, blocking more than 4,000 rebels led by Xiang Bo in Pengze County. After a fierce battle, he killed six rebel leaders including Xiang Ji, Xiang Talong, and killed more than 3,000 bandits. The bandit leader Xiang Bo, Zhong Limei and more than 100 bandits fled along the river by boat.

Although there was no further information about whether Xiang Bo finally escaped, the Xiang rebels had disappeared, and they had stormed the entire Southeast Kuaiji. In the past four months, the rebels in the three counties of Jiujiang for nearly four months were finally completely calmed down. After receiving this news, the emperor and the civil and military officials of the court finally breathed a sigh of relief. The emperor ordered Wang Ben to continue to sit in the southeastern counties to search for bandit leaders and strangle the rebels. At the same time, he also ordered the southeastern counties to strengthen the crackdown. All those involved in the bandit leaders were arrested. For a time, the entire southeastern area was once again in a panic, and countless people were involved. A large number of gentry and officials who had collusion with the rebels were arrested and imprisoned.

After half a month of planning, Chen Xu also climbed to the court during this festive time, which made the civil and military officials and emperors feel a little surprised.

After the court affairs were handled, the court should have been disbanded in advance as it was to travel to Japan, but the emperor knew that Chen Xu, the marquis who had been fishing for three days and had no trouble, would not have come to the court today because of good news.

"Does the young master have something to report?" Qin Shihuang looked at Chen Xu, who was napping on the big chair for a long time with a smile.

"Oh!" Chen Xu woke up and stood up quickly, took out a thick copy of hemp pulp from his thick fur bag like a jingling cat and said, "Your Majesty, I did report important things when I went to court today!"

"Su Mansion Order, go and take the young master's memorial to me to watch!"

"Here!" The CRRC Mansion Order Su Yue walked down the nine-story steps. Looking at the thick stack of memorials in Chen Xu's hand, he couldn't help but tremble slightly. After taking a casual look, he was a little dizzy and couldn't understand it at all.

When the memorial was placed on the imperial case, looking at the long list of titles on the cover of the "Restructuring of the Huaxia Money House and the Planning and Explanation of the Preparation of the Central Money House and the Finance Department" the emperor's smiling cheeks instantly solidified, and his fingers shook and pulled off several beards.

The emperor felt a little upset at the sight of this title, and was also a little guilty, but he pretended to be calm and turned over and looked at two or three pages, then wiped the sweat on his forehead with a dragon robe and said, "The young master's memorial is too long, and I will not finish it for a while. Please give me a brief explanation so that you can study it together!"

Well, Chen Xu had to bow to the civil and military officials behind him, and said, "Since the implementation of the new business laws and currency bills in the early spring of last year, all counties and counties in Daqin have shown a booming prosperity. Because of the implementation of the new currency bill, counties across the country have begun to use coins to convert various agricultural, grain and commercial taxes. Therefore, a large amount of tax funds collection and court expenses are carried out through the Huaxia Money House. I recently visited the Huaxia Money House and found that because of the taxes of the imperial court, the Shaofu income and expenditure, and commercial loans, they all have to rely on the Huaxia Money House to organize and liquidate, which is far beyond my initial ability and responsibility to prepare for the Huaxia Money House.

Many of them should be the responsibilities of the six ministries and the Shaofu, but this responsibility is all on the money house. The money house is almost unsupported, and the manpower, financial and material resources are all short of people. As the business in the Qin Dynasty continues to prosper, the taxes and expenses of the court will be even heavier. As the country's road reconstruction and cement road construction, counties and counties in various places will have countless entangled funds and debts out of thin air. These matters are far beyond the scope that the money house can handle. Therefore, I summoned the money house, several business elites, as well as the Shaofu Ministry of Revenue and other officials stationed in the money house after half a month of discussion and planning, and wrote this memorial to restructure the money house!"

"I wonder how Qinghehou planned to restructure the Huaxia Money House?" Feng Quji, who was most concerned about this matter, stood up and bowed.

"Yes, please tell me the restructuring of the money house in a brief and clear manner. The money house is indeed very heavy at present and bears extremely important functions. However, once the restructuring is delayed for too long, I am worried that something will go wrong!"

Regarding the role of the Chinese Money Bank in the Qin Dynasty, Qin Shihuang and civil and military officials were very clear about it. The court discussed politics almost every day. As long as it involved money, grain and expenditure, it would inevitably mention the Chinese Money Bank. This has become an important department comparable to the three provinces. Although it is not a court institution, it is more important than most court institutions and is completely inseparable or replaced.

The emperor was worried that if the sudden chaos in the reform occurred, many things in the court would not work.

"Your Majesty, I plan this way, and divide all the affairs of the Huaxia Money House into three categories according to the court, Shaofu and commercial affairs. One is the tax and expenditure of the county and county governments across the country. This part is the responsibility of the Ministry of Revenue and the Inner History. Therefore, I suggest that a special preparation of a Finance Office will be prepared to separate the taxes, agricultural taxes, industrial taxes and other taxes and the imperial expenses from the Huaxia Money House, the Ministry of Revenue, the Ministry of Works, and the Inner History Office. In the future, all the income and expenditure of the court will be collected and allocated through the Finance Office; the second is to set up a special central bank, which is under the management of the Shaofu, and the central bank does not exist.

Loan coins, only responsible for minting and issuing coins and redeeming, managing the operation of all commercial money shops in the world, and standardizing the opening of money shops. All money shops will no longer be managed by the three provinces and six ministries, but will be managed by the central money shops, responsible for liquidating the financial transactions between all commercial money shops and the court offices; the third is that commercial money shops, the main business of Huaxia money shops returns to business, responsible for operating private commercial loans and operating court income and expenditure transactions. In this way, the three departments have coordinated the handling, and the relationship between Shaofu, the court and the money shop is very clear, and each has clear functional management, so that it will not cause the current chaos in Huaxia money shops..."

Although it is necessary to explain it simply and clearly, it is still very complicated to explain this matter clearly. Chen Xu also felt that he had already explained it clearly enough, but the civil and military officials and the emperor of the court were still looking at him with confusion.

"Your Majesty, these ministers have been written in the memorials. This matter is particularly important for the future development of the Qin Dynasty. Otherwise, when it accumulates to the point where the Chinese money house cannot support it, perhaps one day there will be unacceptable serious consequences..." Chen Xu smiled bitterly.

The Ministry of Revenue ordered Gao Teng to stand up and bow and said, "Although I don't know how to hear the memorial of Qinghe Hou, the Ministry of Revenue and the county government offices across the country have a large amount of funds every day. If it is easily changed, it may cause chaos!"

"It's not OK to change. The head of the Huaxia Money Bank headquarters has visited several times. It's really busy. There are mountains of books piled up in a liquidation hall. The abacus of hundreds of civil servants made a sound, and they felt dizzy when they entered. According to the manager of the liquidation center, this is only responsible for the business of several counties in the northwest. Now there are more businesses arranged to be disposed of in other places. The Huaxia Money Bank is indeed under great pressure..." Zhao Wei, the Shaofu Order, shook his head.

As for Chen Xu's memorials, the officials in the court all had different expressions. Some were dazed, some were picking their nails, some stomped their feet to keep warm, and some whispered in groups of three or five, but a subtle voice came, which seemed to be about visiting the garden last night. Most of them looked indifferent. As for the officials who were concerned about this matter, there were also different ideas. Some supported the restructuring, and some did not.

What is not supported is naturally the two government offices of the Inner History and the Ministry of Revenue. Once the commercial tax and agricultural tax are separated, the two government offices will almost seize the power of the tax collection and expenditure, and the future wealth will be gone.

There are also many people who support it. Shaofu Orders Zhao Wei and Feng Quji both agreed with Chen Xu's suggestion. Shaofu Orders prepared the central bank and took the money minting and ticket exchange business in his hands. In this way, he could firmly control the world's money and ensure that there would be no chaos caused by commercial bank printing tickets without authorization. Chen Xu had mentioned this matter to Zhao Wei once before. Zhao Wei didn't understand it very much, but after passing the Dongfangdao incident, he had already fully understood the method of making money by making money in nothing. It did work, but there were indeed great safety hazards.

Feng Quji's support was not because of anything else, but because the Finance Department was still managed by him after preparation, and all income and expenditure were collected in one department for easy dispatch and control, which would greatly reduce his work burden.

As for the others, most of them don’t understand it, and it doesn’t matter if they understand it. Anyway, the Emperor’s wallets are still the emperor. Those who are capable are worried, and those who are incompetent are responsible for taking the team.

Li Si did not make any statement about this matter from beginning to end, because he had no idea about the management and management of the money house.

Everyone knows the role of money houses. On the surface, it is to save money and withdraw money, but outsiders have no idea about the business methods and methods inside. They need to control the money house branches that cover almost the entire Daqin County and the prosperous counties in the Central Plains, to settle capital transactions, and to coordinate the money transactions of so many departments, local merchants and courts, and the government offices of the courts. No matter that, it is a process of trying to break the ground, but the Huaxia Money House manages it in an orderly manner with just one woman.

Facing Chen Xu, Li Si felt that his knowledge was getting less and less than enough, and his ideas were completely behind thousands of years, as if the two were completely different from people in the same time and space.

Not only Li Si had this feeling, but in fact, all the civil and military officials in the court had this feeling.

Legend has it that Chen Xu got three volumes of heavenly books of Taiyi Immortal Lord, and this heavenly book is invisible and intangible, but can these things be described in the heavenly book so clearly and meticulously?

Seeing that there were few people in the court to respond to Chen Xu's memorials, the emperor also had a headache. He could probably guess in his heart that the civil and military officials in the court didn't understand much like him. It didn't matter if they didn't understand. Chen Xu could continue to explain, and he would understand it sooner or later, but once the reform began, there would be a lot of troubles one after another. The officials in the court understood too little finance. They only knew how to fight, collect taxes and spend money. For various policies that would help the country's economic development, they could only follow the ancient methods, urging the people to farm and have children.

With more food and more population, the country will naturally become stronger.

This is the most intuitive understanding from the emperor to the village officials, and it does not consider whether the people can bear such heavy labor and taxes that exceed their ability.

"Your Majesty, I just said that the Chinese Money Bank is almost unable to support the current situation. Not to mention a few years later, just the reconstruction of the road and the construction of cement roads that will be fully laid out from the beginning of spring, this part of the capital exchange will make the money bank breathless. In addition, the tax collection and court expenditures of counties across the country, if it is not changed, the Chinese Money Bank may completely collapse next year!" Chen Xu bowed again with a wry smile on his face.

Seeing Chen Xu's words so severely, the emperor opened the memorial in his hand and read a few pages again, and felt dizzy again. Therefore, he closed the memorial and said: "The Huaxia Money House is now very effective. Since the Young Master thinks it has reached the point where it is necessary to change, I also think it can be implemented. Otherwise, it may be more difficult to change in the future. However, the Young Master will personally arrange this matter. Therefore, I will give the reform of the Huaxia Money House to the Young Master for the handling of the manpower and money and grain expenses, the office and government offices, the appointment and disposal of officials, the appointment and disposition of officials, and all the three provinces and six ministries must cooperate with the Young Master's arrangements. If there is any delay for no reason, I will deal with it severely. Have you ever heard it?"

"I will obey the order!"

The emperor made the final decision, and all the civil and military officials of the court could only stand up together and bow to take the order.

Chen Xu finally breathed a sigh of relief. He worked hard for half a month and finally had a good start. As for the rest, it was relatively simple. He just divided the Huaxia Money House into three and completely opened it. He had communicated and discussed this matter with Fan Caiying and Yang Kun many times, so the problem should not be big.

The main reason is that the financial field of Daqin is currently controlled by Huaxia Money Banks. In some other places, several money banks have appeared one after another in the past two years, but the scale is not large. Moreover, it also needs to rely on Huaxia Money Banks to carry out cross-county funding business. It is also closely limited to deposits and withdrawals and small loans, which is completely incomparable to Huaxia Money Banks.

Of course, the most important reason is that Daqin's current financial activities are very simple and monotonous, far less complex than the banking business in later generations. The various financial projects derived from them are as hard as bulls, and the restructuring is not too difficult now.

"Your Majesty, I have something to report!" Seeing that the emperor was about to get up and leave the court, Chen Xu bowed again.

"What else do you have to do with me?" Qin Shihuang looked at Chen Xu in surprise again.

"Xiang's rebellion caused trouble to the three southeastern counties, and successively captured hundreds of towns and villages in several counties. The rebels' transits would inevitably plunder people's wealth as military pay. Although the bandits' rebellion has been quelled, the people who were chaotic by the rebels had no food and clothing. Their wives and children were separated and their families were destroyed and their families were destroyed and their tragic situations were extremely chaotic. Therefore, I asked Your Majesty to exempt the rebels from the grain tax and corvee service in the rebels' areas for at least one year, and asked local counties to open granaries to help refugees..."

"The words of the Queen of Qinghe are reasonable. The disasters of the war will cause trouble and people's livelihood. I will discuss them!" Some officials stood up and said.

"Your Majesty, during the Xiang family's rebellion, local officials organized people to resist the rebels. The officials in the five counties that were captured were killed by the rebels, and the casualties of the people were very heavy. It is indeed necessary to order to appease me. I will discuss it!" Feng Quji also stood up.

"I'm going to discuss it!" Many officials stood up.

"I am also in this intention. I have passed on my orders and spread them to Kuaiji. In the past three counties of Jiujiang, Jiujiang, exempted the tax and grain from the bandits and chaos for one year and two years of corvee labor. I opened the warehouse to release grain to properly appease the local people!" Qin Shihuang stood up with a big sleeve.

"I will obey the order!"
Chapter completed!
