Luoyang has returned to calm.

Pei Ju made full use of his advantages as an old Luoyang man, and in a very short period of time, he rebuilt the entire Luoyang management system. A large number of elite soldiers and strong generals drawn from the Northland, together with the students who graduated early from Wuwei Academy, enriched the officials at all levels. These people already have a lot of experience in how to clean up the mess, and now they are just taking medicine according to the prescription.

For the common people, as long as the new victors do not kill and give them a hope of survival, then the vast majority of people are as honest as quails.

With the reopening of Caoyun and the entry of grain into Luoyang, the hearts of the people in Luoyang were basically settled, and when Li Ze and others helped the coffin of Emperor Li Yan to enter Luoyang, Luoyang was already in order.

One by one, the markets began to enter the normal track, the shops reopened, and the merchants and supply and marketing cooperatives from the north filled the shops with goods through various channels.

There are also fireworks in the workshop. Orders from the authorities were handed over to the workshop owners, and in order to get them open quickly, the government even paid a part of the deposit in advance. This was unthinkable in the past. In the past, except for some workshop owners with backgrounds, the rest of the people did not dare to accept this kind of government order. Because one is not good, one order can make a workshop owner with a small amount of money go bankrupt.

The means of rectifying them are varied, and it only depends on the mood of the government.

But the new government seems to be very different from the past, after paying a deposit in advance, and at the same time handing over to the workshop owners, there is also a statement of the product's compliance, as long as these standards are met, the government will accept the order.

These measures quickly brought Luoyang, the largest commercial city in the Tang Dynasty, back to life. When the workshop owners have money, they can use it to buy raw materials, they can pay their wages, and the workers who get the money can also use the money to buy the daily necessities they need, and the goods that fill the shops are slowly but still flowing into thousands of households little by little.

The orders given to these workshop owners are targeted, and each of them requires a large number of people. For example, making cotton clothes and shoes, making hats, gloves, making dry food, and so on.

And in addition to these, Luoyang strives to make everyone move.

Because of the war, there were a large number of houses in Luoyang that needed to be renovated, streets that needed to be cleaned up, a large number of goods entering Luoyang, which needed to be carried by people, and men, women, and children were mobilized by Pei Ju and the new officials to devote themselves to labor.

There is work to do, there is money to take, even if the cold wind is howling, but everyone is still full of energy.

As soon as the bill is settled every day, you can return home with a heavy copper dollar every day, and you can use these copper dollars to exchange for food, vegetables, even if it is a few pickle gnocchi, some hard salted fish, but it also makes people full of greater hope for tomorrow.

Of course, to do all this, you need to put a lot of money into it.

But this time, the imperial court did not throw money into it.

Involved in this matter is a private money bank, Xingda Money Bank.

The two most important shareholders of Xingda Qianzhuang, one is Boxing Trading Company, and the other is Tongda Trading Company, after its establishment, it has attracted dozens of large businessmen from the north to invest in shares, making Xingda Qianzhuang's strength extremely strong.

Pei Ju, the governor of Henan, took out a loan from Xingda Qianzhuang, which opened a precedent for the government to borrow money from private Qianzhuang.

It's a loan, not an apportionment, and it's not a donation.

Of course, Xingda Qianzhuang has the confidence to be the first to eat crabs and give the government a loan, also because his own background is extremely strong. Behind Boxing Trading Company is Yeluqi and others, behind Tongda Trading Company, there was originally only one Tang Ji, but with the addition of Li Hai, Yuan Tan and others, their background should not be underestimated, not to mention, among the shareholders of Xingda Qianzhuang, there are many former Tang Dynasty officials such as Gao Lei, Wang Duo and so on. Although these people have retired now, as people who have made more or less contributions to Li Ze's rise, their political influence is not small.

With the endorsement of these people, Xingda Qianzhuang is naturally not afraid of Pei Ju's debts.

And Pei Ju also felt that he could afford it completely. In the case that the imperial court could not come up with the money, and the loan interest of Wuwei Qianzhuang was somewhat high, it was logical to choose Xingda Qianzhuang. Now he just wants money to come in. When Luoyang fully recovers, this idea interest, this idea capital, is just a little drizzle, just a few commercial markets in Luoyang, how big is the flow of water in a day?

What's more, Pei Ju also knows that the real hand behind this matter is the Hubu Shangshu Xia He. In the case of an empty treasury, Xia He racked her brains in order to get money, and the establishment of Xingda Qian Zhuang was the result of her lobbying. Businessmen are rich, but they always invest their money in projects that produce quick results and come quickly, and they are generally not interested in projects that cost a lot of money and produce results slowly, such as promoting the reconstruction of a place. And it's not something that any one can afford.

But it's not the same when you put them together.

Together, they can do things without breaking their bones, and as a long-term investment, an investment that is sure to make a profit, and can also hedge their projects with high returns, but also great risks.

These people hit it off.

The current Xia He is indeed forced to be a little anxious.

Even if Luoyang Chang'an was quickly defeated, it was obvious that from a commercial point of view, from a financial point of view, it was a loss-making business, but because of the huge political gains, it had to be carried out. In the south, the Xiang Xun group has launched an all-out attack on the north, asking for money everywhere.

Under the impulse, Xia He was even ready to start printing banknotes in advance.

This matter has been researched by the household department for a long time and has been brewing. If they were allowed to print banknotes, as long as they kept printing banknotes, they could help her tide over this period of crisis, but this plan was ruthlessly vetoed by Li Ze.

Now, it is far from the time to be able to issue banknotes that run entirely on credit.

Once you lose your credit, once this matter goes wrong halfway, and you want to implement it in the future, it will be a big trouble. Therefore, when he is completely sure, Li Ze will never allow this matter to unfold.

Xia He, who was helpless, finally hit the idea on those rich businessmen, and in fact, she also succeeded.

It's a win-win ending.

Li Ze was also very satisfied.

As for Pei Ju, the governor of Henan, he will be burdened with heavy debts for a long time in the future, but in Li Ze's opinion, what is this matter? As long as he does not fall and the court does not collapse, there is no need to worry about these debts. There's always a way to pay it back. Think about those places in later generations, and the governments of that places, aren't they carrying huge debts that ordinary people can't reach?

It doesn't matter if you are in debt, as long as you can ensure the normal operation order within the allowable range.

Eating food is not necessarily a derogatory term sometimes.

Like in prosperous places such as Wuyi and Zhenzhou, aren't those real estate developers who are building houses already doing this? After paying a sum of money, you can live in the house first, and then a fixed amount of money every month, and after many years, the house will be completely yours.

This is also an acceptable thing for people who want to buy property in places like Wuyi Zhenzhou.

Now Wuyi and Zhenzhou are overcrowded, and it is even more difficult to obtain a household registration in these two places, but buying a house is one of the important ones.

After Pei Ju accompanied him to inspect several Caoyun wharves in Luoyang and some markets, Li Ze felt very satisfied, although it was far from being compared with when he came to Luoyang, but these places already have a thick smoke and fire, as long as this continues to run normally, it won't be long before Luoyang will have the ability to self-hematopoiesis. After all, as a commercial center, he recovered faster than in other places.

"Li Xiang, there is news from the direction of Tongguan!" Chen Wenliang hurriedly rushed up with a few copies of the sealed letter and handed it to Li Ze.

In these letters, there are not only You Yong, but also Gao Xiangsheng.

Li Ze was slightly stunned, and opened Gao Xiangsheng's first.

Gao Xiangsheng has always been in Chang'an City, and Chang'an is now the place that Li Ze pays the most attention to.

After reading Gao Xiangsheng's secret report, Li Ze was also stunned.

"Zhu Youzhen, just give up Chang'an like this and run away?" Entering the Qinling Mountains at this time is a big gamble, it seems that this guy is really at the end of the mountain, otherwise he would not have done this.

However, it must be said that this move was indeed unexpected by him, and it can be regarded as a wonderful move. If Zhu Youzhen really succeeded in leading his troops across the Qinling Mountains, he would really be another village. At least in such a season, he, Li Ze, would never drive his troops into the Qinling Mountains to pursue this group of outlaws.

"It seems that there is another infighting between the Zhu brothers." Putting away the letter, Li Ze smiled and said to Pei Ju.

"Zhu Youzhen went to Yizhou?" Pei Ju is also a smart person, Li Zeyi said, even if he reacted, like Li Ze, he was also stunned.

"It seems so. This person is really a bit of a desperate person. But Yizhou is so big, it definitely can't accommodate two Zhu, so only one of the two brothers will survive. ”

"If that's the case, I'm optimistic about Zhu Youzhen!" Pei Ju said: "Zhu Youqi can't compare with this person. ”

"Once Zhu Youzhen seizes Yizhou, Tian Guofeng's pressure will be great." Li Ze thought for a while and said to Chen Wenliang: "Prepare a letter to Tian Guofeng, if Xiangyang can't be defended, retreat to Jingnan along the Han River, merge with Ding Jian, and guard Jingnan!" ”
