Chapter 316 Flower Tree

After returning to Chengdu, Zhang Bai immediately became busy.

There were more than 30 Zoroastrian believers in Li Qiao's outer house, and he divided them into several groups.

There are five or six people left in Zhang's house, who take turns looking after the door, lighting fires, cleaning, etc., and also serve as bodyguards.

There are more than ten people left as guards at Longdichi's house.

Others were placed in the mines, where construction was going very well and men were badly needed.

Since Daolao learned how to make cement, he became eager to try it.During the few days Zhang Bai left, he volunteered to build a thick bamboo fence in the mining area, and even started pouring cement.

I have to say that Daolao was very attentive. Instead of grouting all the grouting at once, he grouted one layer of the foundation first, and then waited for the foundation to dry before grouting the second layer.However, due to the weather, the progress is now a little slower.

It has been rainy in Chengdu these days, and even Zhuge Qiao is not interested in inviting friends.

After Zhang Bai came back, he met with Zhuge Liang, paid attention to the lap task, and assigned a new task.

Ask Zhuge Liang to help him find a few capable helpers, all of whom must be from poor families.We need someone who can lead troops, someone who can write and calculate, and preferably someone who has some skills as a bodyguard.

Zhuge Liang frowned a little. It was easy to find help, but the rule was that nobility could not be used, which was a bit troublesome.In this era, especially in the Shu Kingdom, poor families were unpopular and most of them had no chance to receive the best education.

At this time, I wanted to find someone capable from a poor family, but I didn't know how to start.

Zhang Bai saw that he was in a dilemma, so he suggested: "There is a Yizhou native in the Yulin Army who returned from Lingnan. His name is Lian Pai. He seems to be a capable man. Please help me find it and count him as one of them!"

Zhuge Liang then had some clues. He thought for a while and suddenly said: "As for the army, I also have a man named Luo Meng here. Ma Di recommended him to me a few days ago, but he comes from a poor family and I don't know how to place him. That’s fine.”

"Okay! I'll give you three days for this task. I'll give you another simple task. I'm building a secret city west of Yongchang as a base to attack the rebels. Send me a letter of appointment and let one of my subordinates serve as a secret city. Prefect, but his father is from the Han clan, do you think there is a problem?"

"The prefect is usually appointed by the local rich clan, but it depends on the situation. The place you mentioned is so remote, even if the Han tribe serves as the prefect, it doesn't matter. This matter is easy to handle."

"Then this task can be considered three days! The sooner the better."

This time, they met again at Liu Ba's home, and locked Liu Ba out again.

Liu Ba was very curious in his heart. How could the two people, who were so different in age, talk so speculatively and even exclude himself? This was very rude in his own family.

But not long after, Zhuge Liang finally called Liu Ba in, and the three of them discussed the matter of the Central Bank together.

Basic silver reserves are already available. He carries more than 40 silver coins, which is equivalent to more than 20 taels of silver.

The money was obtained by Zhang Bai from selling the spaceship. In the Shu Kingdom at that time, it was an unimaginable huge sum of money.However, Zhang Bai felt that it was not enough, and he felt that there must be another guarantee.

The country must take a stake, and aristocratic families must also take a stake.This is real protection.

When will the bank be announced to open?The publicity before this needs to be kept up.Everyone must understand that the bank will ensure smooth money exchange.

In this way, hundreds of dollars will become the currency in the currency. As long as the relevant information is spread to Wei and Wu as soon as possible, you can go to the two countries to buy food and other goods.

Zhuge Liang and Liu Ba drew up a list, including the Zhuge family, Ma family, Mi family, and local noble families such as Cheng family, He family, Chang family, etc.

These are the main big families who want to win their shares.

Zhang Bai looked up and down, and suddenly asked, "Why are there no Zhao family and Huang family?"

Liu Ba said: "Master Zhang is smart, and the Zhao family in Yizhou is indeed the richest family, but..."

"People look down on us outsiders and won't cooperate!" Zhuge Liang said.

"As for the Huang family, I will go and talk about it. It's hard to say whether it will work or not, so I won't put it on the list."

Zhang Bai nodded, pondered for a while, and then said: "The state's shares must ensure that a certain proportion cannot be moved, and the same goes for my shares. Then the remaining shares will be created into an equity pool. No matter how many shareholders come, they can only be within a certain range." Divide the equity within the company.”

Liu Ba agreed as soon as he heard it, "The national interests must not be harmed."

"Also, I suggest that the equity can be traded, but this kind of transaction must be taxed, how about it?"

"Isn't this the stock market? Hahaha...ah!...cough cough cough!" Zhuge Liang laughed loudly, but when he saw the wonderful expressions of Liu Ba and Zhang Bai, he immediately coughed to cover it up.

One day later, Zhuge Liang announced the establishment of the new Micheng County, with the state capital being Micheng.Brother Ma's commission has been prepared and he has become the prefect of Secret City.

This incident was sudden, but it was not a big deal, so no one objected.Zhuge Liang naturally got another spirit bead from Zhang Bai. This guy's cultivation talent was not bad. After taking two spirit beads, he had actually broken through to the second level of Qi refining and reached perfection.

In this way, Kong Ming probably won't die in Wuzhangyuan, right?Zhang Bai and Zhuge Liang both thought so.

Then, Zhuge Liang convened a meeting of various aristocratic families to discuss the matter of the central bank. As a result, very few people responded, and even Ma Su and Yang Yi looked embarrassed.

Zhuge Liang and Liu Ba couldn't bear to insist, so they immediately announced that they were suspending the matter and came back to discuss it with Zhang Bai.

Zhang Bai felt that this was expected and didn't care, so he proposed that he should provide funds himself and the state would take shares, and wait until others were interested before discussing the equity transaction.

Immediately, Zhuge Liang announced to the whole country that the "Central Bank" was established to be responsible for the exchange of hundreds of dollars, silver and gold, and to announce the official exchange price.

This incident caused a lot of discussion, and everyone stared at it, observing what on earth the bank was doing.

Zhang Bai was not in a hurry to open the bank to do bank business, he was just urging the medical clinic to open as soon as possible.

Three gold-lettered plaques of Xuanhuyuan have been hung on the courtyard gate.

Led by Yu Ji, including Titus and Zhang Ji, the entire medical team was very satisfied when they saw Xuanhuyuan, and now they all live here.

Among the three, Yu Ji had the most extensive knowledge and was familiar with the Central Plains, so he naturally took care of all the big and small things, from recruiting doctors to adding equipment, doing everything himself.

He took Titus and Zhang Ji to the market and taught them how to purchase medicinal materials.

Titus and Zhang Ji didn't understand the Han people at first, but on the way to the Central Plains, Yu Ji had already thought of this, taught them some basic Qi-refining techniques, and recruited them to become immortal cultivators.

The market in Chengdu is bustling.

Titus had just arrived and Zhang Ji was young. He was stunned when he saw traders selling silk everywhere in the market, thinking that Shu was extremely rich.He slowly realized that silk was so common in the Central Plains.

Seeing this, the two people couldn't think of anything else and begged Zhang Bai to change into silk and satin clothes for them first. They were so happy that they were stupid.
