The noise outside the window was bustling, but Cui Wenqing was not affected at all, and the thoughts in his mind were endless.

After a long time, he smiled and said: "Brother Su's words can be said to hit the nail on the head, directly hitting the many drawbacks of resettlement in other places, in fact, who wants to leave their hometown and go to a strange place to start a new life?" Speaking of this, the smile flickered, and his expression gradually changed to solemnity, "However, for many victims of the disaster in Jiangnan Province, their homes have long been wiped out by the flood, and the fields they have cultivated have been full of silt and cannot be cultivated. ”

Cui Wenqing's words still have some truth.

Indeed, living in the face of catastrophe is the only criterion, and only by surviving can we maintain the continuation of life, so why stick to our hometown and starve to death.

In the last years of the Qing Dynasty, Huguang filled Sichuan, which was a very great immigration, which greatly solved the problem of insufficient population in Sichuan at that time.

Later, in the 20th century, Xinjiang was liberated, and countless sons and daughters of the Construction Corps took root in Xinjiang to stabilize its territory, which is also a manifestation of the very successful immigration policy.

Therefore, although relocation is difficult, it is not impossible.

Seeing Su Shi showing a thoughtful expression, Cui Wenqing couldn't help but smile and said: "Brother Su, the governor is not here now, I have the right to give an example to illustrate, if the people of Jiangnan Province are willing to come to Fuzhou, Linzhou, Suizhou, and Fengzhou under the jurisdiction of the Zhenwu Army, then the Zhenwu Army can give great discounts, first, the Zhenwu Army can build houses and land for immigrants for free, and all the costs are borne by our Zhenwu Army, without spending a penny of the court and the victims; Second, the Zhenwu army can promise to exempt immigrants from grain tax for several years, and even do not use the immigrants to increase taxes, of course, this requires the support of the imperial court; Third, the Zhenwu Army can give many preferential policies to immigrants, such as exemption from military service, exemption from conscription, and even Hedong Bank can also give a part of the interest-free loan for immigrants, as long as they are willing to come, Zhenwu Army will not treat them badly. ”

Su Shi listened to it again and again, and said with admiration: "If it is according to what Brother Wen Qing said, it is somewhat feasible to resettle in other places, Fuzhou will benefit, Jiangnan will benefit, and the imperial court will also be exempted from the pain of continuous disaster relief." ”

Cui Wenqing smiled and said: "But all this is just me talking on paper, whether the lady agrees, and whether the court agrees is unknown." ”

Su Shi pondered for a while, and said solemnly: "I think that Brother Cui should fold the matter of resettlement in half and explain it carefully to the metropolitan governor, and ask the metropolitan governor to write to the imperial court, and allow the ministers of the government hall to make a decision." ”

Cui Wenqing thought about it, nodded happily and said, "Okay, I'll go back later, I'll explain this matter to the lady." ”

"There's one more thing, President." Lu Huiqing started the topic again.

Cui Wenqing smiled and asked, "What's the matter?" Brother Hui Qing, but it doesn't hurt. ”

Lu Huiqing bowed slightly, but glanced at Su Shi who was sitting next to her, obviously jealous.

Su Shi knew that Lu Huiqing must have something to tell about the secrets of Hedong Bank, and it was inappropriate for him to stay here, so he hurriedly got up and said with a smile: "Since the two of you still have important matters to discuss, then I won't bother." ”

Cui Wenqing grabbed Su Shi, who was about to leave, and said with a smile that he didn't care: "Brother Su is a high friend, if there is anything you can't hear, it's okay, just sit down." ”

In fact, Su Shi also wanted to know more about the operation of Hedong Bank, and when he saw that Cui Wenqing was not outside, he naturally would not refuse, so he took advantage of the situation and sat down.

Lu Huiqing no longer had any scruples, and hurriedly said in a deep voice: "In fact, when I came to Fuzhou this time, in addition to informing the president of the recent operation of the bank, there is also a major matter that must be decided by the president. ”

"Silver ticket?" As soon as he heard this, Su Shi suddenly showed a puzzled look, naturally he didn't understand what the silver ticket was, and hurriedly asked.

Cui Wenqing smiled lightly, didn't hide it from him, and talked about the role of the silver ticket one by one.

After listening, Su Shi was dumbfounded, obviously in a stupor.

After a while, he suddenly came back to his senses, Su Shi's face was full of surprise, and he stammered: "Brother Wenqing, you, you mean that you want to issue another currency, can you do this?" ”

"Misuse of money is a capital offense, of course not!" Cui Wenqing smiled, and then explained, "But the silver ticket we issue, not currency, you can understand it as a kind of exchange coupon, the people in our bank with real money and silver to save money, we will exchange the equivalent amount of silver ticket to them, and when they need money, and then use the silver ticket to our bank for exchange, in this way, it can solve the problem that the silver is too much to carry, especially in the purchase of bulk goods, it is very convenient, why not." ”

Su Shi was already very smart, and after listening to this, his cheeks flashed a few shocking reds, obviously very excited, and said in a trembling voice: "But in terms of actual conditions, although this silver ticket is not currency, it has the effect of currency. ”

Su Shi thought for a while, and continued to say in shock: "And the imperial court will be limited by the material to create silver and copper coins, if there is no sufficient silver and brass, naturally no currency can be made, but this kind of money issued by Hedong Bank, a piece of rice paper is not limited by materials, just by virtue of this, you Hedong Bank can make a lot of money, according to me, you are exchanging paper for the real money of the people!" ”

Cui Wenqing laughed and said: "Brother Su, I won't talk much about the efficacy of silver bills now, but I think that this thing will definitely become the direction of monetary reform in the future. ”

Su Shi was silent for a while, so he had to bow his head slightly, but there was a flame burning in his heart.

No, I have to go back immediately and tell An Shixiang about the silver ticket, this is a great thing!

There is also the policy of resettlement in other places, which is also a very important initiative, and I believe that An Shi Xianggong will be shocked when he learns about it.

Thinking of this, Su Shi's eyes were even hotter, and he hurriedly said goodbye to Cui Wenqing, and went back to write the recital.
