The courtyard rented by Feng Ziying is not small, close to the Yamen of the two Huai Salt Envoys, separated by a wall.

The Sanjin courtyard is naturally not a government office, but it is enough for such a temporary office location, or even a semi-public and half-private liaison office-style office.

With Lin Ruhai's consent, Cao Yu had already come here to assist Feng Ziying in his office, and most of Wang Wenyan's energy began to turn to this side.

The innermost garden naturally became Feng Ziying's resting place, while the outer courtyard was used for reception and conversation, and the second courtyard was the real office place.

Feng Ziying stood on the steps and looked into the courtyard.

The east and west wings have been sorted out, and according to his concept, the houses in the east are mainly responsible for the formation of the silver village.

For example, it is now necessary to start planning the articles of association of the bank, from the establishment of shareholders, fund raising, to the absorption of savings and loans, these must be established one by one.

Cao Yu is good at text planning, which is his forte, so Feng Ziying asked him over first to plan and organize the text according to his own intentions.

At this time, Feng Ziying realized that she still underestimated her ability a little, and underestimated the complexity and complexity of these affairs.

To engage in a silver village, it is not just a matter of fooling a few businessmen to take the silver out and buy shares, but also involves collecting savings, and even follow-up lending, risk assessment and control, which is not only purely profitable, but also responsible for strategic guidance, such as what the imperial court urgently needs.

In a sense, it will be a public-private partnership of national development banks and private commercial banks, and because of its current monopolistic nature, it will even be able to take on the role of a central bank.

Of course, the current share capital of this bank will mainly come from the private sector, and the reason why it has the nature of a public-private partnership is that the role of the public is mainly reflected in the policy support and support of the government.

But in any case, this bank is positioned as a change that Feng Ziying brought to Da Zhou, well, the superficial modern banking system he knew in his previous life will be rudely added by him, even if it may not be suitable for now, but it must be established first.

This is a completely new thing, at least for the time being, no one in the whole Great Zhou can understand the importance and great significance of this new thing, and it will bring an unprecedented boost and groundbreaking breakthrough to the industrial and commercial development of the Great Zhou.

"Ziyi, what else is needed?" Feng Ziying looked at Cao Yu, a middle-aged man who didn't talk much, but was very rigorous and meticulous in his work.

Well, in this era, the thirties are already considered middle-aged.

"Everything else is pretty much the same, but if you can, it might be faster to have one or two people who are good at words to help out." Cao Yu is not very familiar with the future new owner, so he is also very cautious in his words.

There is no one in his hand, Feng Ziying also sighed secretly in her heart, which other yamen does not have a bunch of children or talented officials?

But this is not a yamen, there is no imperial decree, it is purely a grass platform team that was set up first under the guise of Chinese calligraphy, well, it may be a "career establishment" institution in the future.

"In this way, Ziyi, you go and look for it yourself, the person is reliable and meets your requirements, so you will come in first, the matter cannot be delayed, I may need such a rough charter right away." Feng Ziying nodded, "The strategy of Dongfan reclamation can't be left behind, this framework is too rough, although Longyou and Anfu's gang have experience in reclamation in Yunnan, but Dongfan is different, where our imperial court is only nominally governed, how to let it temporarily perform specific functions, and the imperial court must also consider all aspects of the details." ”

"Okay." Cao Yu also breathed a sigh of relief.

So much work weighed on him at once, no pressure was fake, and this one was very demanding.

The key is that the time is too tight, and if there is no one to help him, he is afraid that what he has done may not be satisfactory.

Feng Ziying also realized the difficulties she faced if she wanted to do a lot of work.

Lin Ruhai's staff team can't take over all of them at once, after all, the two Huai people have to transfer salt to make the Yamen still have to operate, and Lin Ruhai is not in good health, so he has to rely on them mainly.

The people brought by Duan Xigui can still be used in specific fields, and it is still far from being a generalist.

Several of his classmates, such as Lian Guoshi, He Fengsheng, Fan Jingwen, and Wu Fu, were left in Jingshi City by Guan Yingzhen and couldn't help.

Feng Ziying was already preparing to write a letter to Qi Yongtai and Guan Yingzhen, asking for one or two more of her classmates to help her, otherwise she would not be able to be busy in several parts.

Moreover, Feng Ziying also knows that her classmates, including the most capable of practicing state affairs, may not be able to come in handy in a short period of time, and it will take three or five months to get used to it.

They used to be obsessed with Jingyi poetry and current policy theory, and they could be said to be at a loss for such specific administrative affairs, and they might not even be as good as which people Duan Xigui brought.

But if they are given time to get used to it, their ceiling is much higher.

And the key is that they are from Jinshi, this heritage is here, born with a forced aura, placed in any position, and can play the role of a pillar when they grow up.

This is also something that Duan Xigui "cultivated" this group of people cannot compare.

To be precise, Feng Ziying's classmates are born to be officials and even ministers in the future, and most of the people brought by Duan Xigui can only be limited to the level of officials, or develop towards technocrats.

Of course, even if they can become officials, it is also a great class for these children who came out of the poor families of the Feng family and the Duan family, and those who perform well may not be able to enter the official class, even if they cannot pass the imperial examination, but there are other bypasses to go.

Feng Ziying divided her work in Jiangnan into four parts.

First, the first task is the construction of the bank, including the raising of shares and the collection of savings, but the early stage is mainly the offering.

Second, the preliminary screening of businessmen who are interested in participating in the maritime trade and the negotiation of the issue of concession fees, of course, the final finalization will be decided by the official Yingzhen, the household department and even the cabinet.

Third, it is necessary to preliminarily negotiate with the salt merchants and maritime merchants on the borrowing of debts secured by sea taxes, and to solicit the opinions of these merchants on the establishment of a municipal shipping department.

Fourth, it is necessary to negotiate with the shipbuilding businessmen in the north to establish a shipyard in Denglai, which can only be a preliminary plan and set a framework.

The affairs of the Eastern Fan Reclamation are extraordinary, and even the cabinet and officials Yingzhen, including Qi Yongtai, do not approve of it.

It's just that under Feng Ziying's repeated statements, Guan Yingzhen finally reluctantly agreed that Feng Ziying could take the opportunity to change and deal with the affairs of Dongfan, but this was not authorized by the cabinet, in a sense, it was a kind of first cut and then a prelude, and it was a transgression.

But Feng Ziying didn't care.

There will be a life outside the world.

Not to mention that Guan Yingzhen gave this right to change at the right of opportunity, even when he met with Emperor Yonglong, Emperor Yonglong also implicitly said that as long as it is beneficial to the imperial court, it is beyond the bounds, and there is no hindrance.

Well, Feng Ziying's understanding, this is basically the emperor wanting to endorse himself.

Of course, the matter is getting bigger, I don't know if Emperor Yonglong will be instigated?

But Feng Ziying believes that under the power of silver, everything is a local chicken and tile dog, so there is nothing to worry about.

Now it seems that this is the most advanced and the most surprising as an additional matter.

In addition to the Dongfan reclamation affairs that were not included, Guan Yingzhen only explicitly handed over the affairs of Yinzhuang to Feng Ziying.

For several other affairs, Guan Yingzhen told him to come to the front station, sort out the preliminary work first, make preliminary contact, and finally estimate that he would either report to the Chinese calligraphy department for discussion, or he would personally or send someone to take over specifically.

No matter how close the relationship is, it also needs to be balanced, and Guan Yingzhen is also an old man, so he naturally understands this truth.

Of course, Feng Ziying's preliminary work is very important, and if she does a good job, Guan Yingzhen will not deny it.

Therefore, Feng Ziying's focus is also on the construction of Yinzhuang and Dongfan reclamation, and several other affairs, that is, he came up with a framework by himself, and then gradually negotiated and advanced, and when Guan Yingzhen had a suitable candidate, he took the initiative to hand it over.

"Master, they're here." Bao Xiang came in to report.

"Do the math, it's time to come." Feng Ziying took a deep breath, "Please let them into the house." ”

It's time to start a tough battle.

Starting today, Feng Ziying is going to officially pick up customers.

I have been in Yangzhou for half a month, and even this half-hidden office has been open for a few days, and it is estimated that this Yangzhou city, and even Nanzhili and Zhejiang should receive the news.

It is true that since the first day of opening, she has received all kinds of famous posts, but Feng Ziying still only receives them, but she has reserved time to notify them.

got off the carriage, but saw another one who had arrived early, and he was not familiar with it, but he heard about it, and Guo Chong still arched his hand.

The gray-shirted man on the opposite side had a somewhat complicated complexion, but he quickly calmed down and bowed, "Brother Guo." ”

"Brother Zhuang alone?" Lu Yanchong's face was warm and his attitude was modest.

As a beginner, Lu Yanchong knew that these sea merchants who had been on the sea for many years were actually extremely hostile to these newcomers to them, but this was the reality, and they could only bow their heads.

I don't want to think about it, if there were no people like myself waving the flag and shouting in the DPRK, this strategy of opening the sea would really be so easy to finalize?

Lu Yanchong's attitude is gentle, but it doesn't mean that he is afraid of anyone.

The Songjiang Lu family, in this southern Zhili, anyone who comes must respect one or two, even in the court, is also famous.

Although the head of the family, Lu Shusheng, died the year before last, his younger brother Lu Yanzhang is now a waiter in the Nanjing Criminal Department, and another disciple who studied under the head of the family, Dong Qichang, is also a bachelor in Nanjing Hanlin Academy, and no one in Nanzhili dares to despise the Lu family.
