Deng Tingzhen wanted to see him, but the time was chosen at night, was he busy with official business and couldn't spare time during the day, or was he unwilling to support Yuanqi Bank openly? Yi Zhi's mind turned, and he said tentatively: "Your Excellency Governor has concerns? ”

"Naturally, there are concerns." Wu Bingjian said: "Yuanqi's low-interest lending challenges the entire usury system of the Qing Dynasty, how can the governor have no concerns?" Yuan Qi is a thorn in the side of all loan shark beneficiaries, once they have the opportunity, they must want to get rid of it quickly, which is one of the reasons why the old man supports you to build a private army, however, it is necessary to prepare a private army. ”

Seeing that he had turned the topic around, Yi Zhizhi nodded, and Wu Changqing came up with tea, and Wu Bingjian, who was waiting, took a few sips of tea before saying: "Xinyixue I want to implement the school year system, implement a three-year, five-year, and eight-year system, mainly according to the age of enrollment and the level of talent of students.

Young, highly qualified, the implementation of the eight-year system, after graduation, stay in school or scientific research or teaching, can also be sent to Europe or the Americas for further study, the older and the talent is not high, respectively, applicable to the three-year, five-year system, after graduation, respectively, into the thirteen lines, Yuanqi, Tianbao watch factory, of course, similar to the Tianbao watch factory we will continue to invest in the construction, do not need to worry about the graduation from the school can not be arranged.

The source of Yixue students is mainly based on the children of the poor and displaced people in the provinces, one of the new Yixue cultivates not the talents of the imperial examination, and furthermore, the children of the poor and the displaced people from other places, after graduation, it is easy for me to use, the new Yixue will implement closed management, quasi-military management, all the needs are covered by Yixue, if the students taught cannot be used by us, this account can not be calculated.

In this way, after ten or eight years, the students cultivated by Yixue will be at least tens of thousands, if the world is in chaos, we will raise a private army, even if only thirty percent of the students enlist in the army, we can pull up a team of 3,000 people in a few days, as long as there is enough silver, it is not difficult to expand the army from 3,000 to 2 or 30,000, and the students who have come out of Yixue can be used as the backbone. ”

Wu Bingjian was greatly satisfied, and immediately said: "That is the case, the old man should strongly support it, and you will take the money to house the beggars and displaced people in Guangzhou, and the fields around the Yixue will be bought by the old man, and you don't have to worry about the source of Yixue's students, other provinces dare not say, Guangxi, Hunan, Jiangxi, and Fujian have no problem at all." ”

Seeing Wu Bingjian's relaxed statement, Yi Zhishu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and the purpose of winning Wu Bingjian's support was to win these two years, two years later, even if the Wu family gave up Yixue, he could afford the huge expenses of Yixue alone, and prepare for the establishment of a private army, he would naturally not wait until ten years later.

Once the crow. At that time, all the prefectures, counties, villages and towns in Guangdong will hold regimental exercises to ensure local tranquility, and at that time, both Yuanqi and the Thirteen Lines will be able to organize private armies in the name of organizing regimental exercises.

Wu Bingjian was in a good mood, glanced at the chessboard, and said, "Contentment is good at Go, how many games can we talk about?" ”

Go? Yi Zhizhi is content to play, but he is also at the level of entry, but he would rather accompany Wu Bingjian to play Go than chat with him, so he immediately gladly responded to the battle.

Seeing that Yi Zhizhi was content to play Go, Wu Changqing was also watching the game with great interest, but just after watching the tea kung fu, he was not interested, Wu Bingjian and Yi Zhishu were both stinky chess baskets, which can be described as chess opponents, and it was difficult to distinguish between killing, he couldn't bear to witness it, so he simply found a book to read, out of sight and out of mind.

In the middle of summer, it gets dark late, and at eight o'clock in the evening, the sky is completely dark.

One large and one small sedan chair slowly turned on the selling hemp street after it was dark, and stopped outside the corner gate of the Liangguang Governor's Mansion, Yi Zhizu got off the sedan chair first, and as soon as Wu Bingjian got off the sedan chair, he stepped forward and walked to the corner door, and a housekeeper who had been waiting for a long time led the two in, and walked all the way, and said outside a courtyard: "Please wait, let me go in and report." ”

Yi Zhishu is the first time to enter the Governor's Palace, and it is also the first time to see the Governor of Liangguang, to say that he is not nervous, it is false, the Governor of Liangguang is one of the eight governors of the Qing Dynasty, and he is in a high position.

For Deng Tingzhen, the governor of Liangguang, Yi Zhi's original impression was not very deep, and he only knew that he was in the crow. During the war, he was a staunch resistance faction, and he was actively preparing for war in Guangzhou and Xiamen, and was not afraid of war with British warships, but was later defeated and sent to Ili.

Recently, he inquired a little, Deng Tingzhen is Jiaqing six years of Jinshi, selected Shu Jishi, awarded the editor, successively served in Ningbo, Zhejiang, Shaanxi Yan'an, Yulin, Xi'an prefects, Hubei according to the inspector, Jiangxi political envoy, Shaanxi according to the envoy and other positions, Daoguang six years as the governor of Anhui, two years ago was promoted to the governor of Liangguang, this person wrote a good hand, and is good at poetry, it seems that last year was still in favor of the ban on crows. tablets.

The two didn't wait long, the housekeeper quickly turned back, led the two into the study, Yi Zhishu quickly glanced at Deng Tingzhen standing behind the desk when he entered the door, the first impression was thin, only sixty-two years old Deng Tingzhen was very thin.

After entering the door, Wu Bingjian knelt down and said, "The lower official Wu Bingjian knocked to see the lord of the ministry." ”

Yi Zhizhi had no choice but to kneel down and say, "The grass people are content to meet the Governor." ”

"The two of them are flat, no need to be polite." Deng Tingzhen said gently, and the two of them got up, and he said with a smile: "No need to be formal, sit." ”

After Wu Bingjian sat down, Yi Zhixin looked up at Deng Tingzhen, but just met his gaze, glanced at each other, he lowered his gaze, Deng Tingzhen secretly thought that this son was bold, but thinking that what Yuan Qi had done during this time was indeed bold to the extreme, he didn't think it was wrong, he held his long beard under his chin, and said with a smile: "Since Yuanqi opened, in just more than ten days, he has already begun to unify the money bank in Guangzhou, which really amazes the governor, and he is content with a young man, which can be called a handsome man for a while." ”

Yi Zhishu hurriedly bowed and said: "It's just a coincidence, I really don't dare to be an adult." ”

"Contentment requires no humility." Deng Tingzhen said kindly: "I heard that the three pieces of Yuanqi are from you, what do you think?" ”

Hearing him ask like this, it was a little unexpected to be satisfied, and after a slight groaning, he leaned back: "Absorbing small deposits, in line with the idea of gathering armpits into furs, gathering sand into towers, and people abandoning me to take them, saving one loan and two loans, with a high interest rate of five percent, is deliberately aimed at merchants and traders who need to borrow, in order to borrow, they will go to Yuanqi to deposit, as for Yuanqi stickers, it is purely to absorb large deposits." ”
