Chapter 316: Foreign embassies
With the guarantee of bank account security, the anti-counterfeiting work can be raised to a higher level. The security of funds will be greatly improved. After absorbing a large amount of deposits, Yingyu followed the plan given by Shangwen. Start lending. But there must be a certain amount of collateral. Then according to the value of the collateral, the loan is made at an 80% share. The interest is very profitable every month. It is not the method of compound interest commonly known as profit-rolling. This method of lending usury will seriously hinder the use of the capital chain. Shang Wen was looking at the civilians who had sold their land. This problem has already been discovered.
The emergence of banks actually hit the traditional way landlords obtain benefits. Rent collection. A lot of money rushed to the land. Will accelerate the speed of its disintegration of the land. At the same time, Shangwen drafted a plan on the "Fund Loan Act" which stipulated that Qin State cannot use interest settlement and cannot use compound interest. Otherwise, it is illegal and the punishment will be very strict. That is one hundred times the confiscation of illegal gains. Shang Wen didn't want to do this. But Ting Wei told him that the Qin Law must be harsh. Otherwise, it will not pass. Shang Wen had no choice but to follow suit.
Other provisions are also under consideration, and these provisions need to be considered repeatedly. And the right to propose the law is temporarily transferred to Shangwen.
Just before the introduction of this law. The emergence of banks triggered a huge earthquake and tsunami. The first is that a large number of civilians deposit their deposits in banks. And more people who have just upgraded from small workshops to small factories have received loans under orders guaranteed by the military. But with this move, the bank's financial preparation tends to be tight. Yingyu also reflected this problem.
To solve this problem, other businesses must be launched, such as money orders, checks, and payment services. Shang Wen can only briefly talk about these things. As for doing this, Shangwen is very busy now.
The first is their own office location, in order to express their determination to transform the city. Shangwen's office moved from the city to the south bank of the Weihe River. Only the construction of a new city can alleviate the difficulties of Qin's current small city. For urban construction, defense was considered more in ancient times. Rather than an extension of the city's functions. And Shang Wen now reversed one by one at the beginning. Prioritize the extension of urban functions, not the improvement of defense functions.
As soon as the plan was proposed, Wang Jian opposed it. According to his vision, the defense of the city comes first. A city without any defenses is really unimaginable. Shang Wen has repeatedly emphasized that the previous one-line defense is no longer suitable for urban warfare. Urban defense warfare requires depth. The building itself is a defense system. Especially nowadays a large number of guns and artillery are used. The city’s first defense is easy to break. If you want to defend the city, you must build a deep defense and adopt measures of resistance to mass destruction. This is urban street fighting.
Shang Wen patiently persuaded, but Wang Jian was under great pressure on military equipment and mobilization, so he had no choice but to agree. However, Shang Wen requested that an artillery observation platoon and an engineer survey unit be deployed to survey and map. Wang Jian said yes.
While Shang Wen was making gestures with a sketch of the southern bank of the Wei River, a female civil servant came in and reported: "My lord. Does a young man want to see you?" Shang Wen was very surprised after hearing this.
When I came to Qin, I didn't have many friends, and I didn't know any sons. Shang Wen had some doubts, so he walked out of the house. Shangwen's office is temporarily located in a small farmyard. Said it is small, it is actually very big. Because there is a lot of debris.
"Are you?" Shang Wen followed the female civil servant to the thatched hut on the side.
"Why, how long have you not known each other?" Princess Liu Yi, dressed in men's clothing, turned to look at Shang Wen with a smile and said.
"Oh, are you?" Shang Wen was about to speak.
"The new prime minister of Qin has a unique hospitality, my son has been here for so long. I didn't even drink tea." Princess Liu Yi cleverly avoided her identity. Because Shang Wen was about to speak out.
"Hey, sorry. You go out first." Shangwen ordered.
"Just sit down." Shang Wen poured water on his own.
"What would you like to drink?" Shang Wen asked habitually. According to modern standards, that's a lot. But I saw that there was still water besides water. The water is still cold.
"I don't dare to sit. Your guy will bite people?" Princess Liu Yi said, pointing to the sofa.
"No, no, that's a sofa. A soft chair." Shang Wen said with a teacup of cold water.
"Oh. Then I'll give it a try." Princess Liu Yi sat down carefully.
"En. Not bad. Soft." Princess Liu Yi said.
"Drink water." Shang Wen embarrassedly put cold water in front of Princess Liu Yi. Princess Liu Yi glanced, secretly amused.
"I don't know, what's the matter with the princess coming this time?" Shang Wen still likes to go straight.
"En. It's like this, Ben, I want to set up the Korean Embassy in Qin as soon as possible. What do you think?" Princess Liu Yi said.
"En. That's it. Yes, but. The place you choose should be on the south bank of the Weihe River. Not the north bank. You know the situation on the north bank. Traffic is very tight." Shang Wen said.
"However, you can first find a tavern in Xianyang City, rent it, and set up a South Korean embassy office there. You can move in after the embassy is established here. There are also some diplomatic documents. It takes time to reply. "Shang Wen said.
"En." Princess Liu Yi nodded calmly. This prime minister wouldn't have been born as a businessman, how can he be so careful about his calculations?
In fact, Shangwen didn't expect so much of his plan. After several generations of development in Xianyang City, the space is unlikely to have much development because of the city wall. Instead, it is the South Bank. There is still a lot of room. Shangwen considered the city and decided to locate the embassy on the South Bank.
"Why are you not satisfied?" Shang Wen asked.
"Oh. Satisfied. Satisfied." Princess Liu Yi is carefully observing Shangwen's every move. a lot of things. Princess Liu Yi couldn't figure it out. Especially, Shang Wen's head.
"En. That's good. Is there anything else the princess does?" Shang Wen asked.
"En. I want you to take me to visit Qin State, that, called, called" Princess Liu Yi is still not used to many new things in Qin State.
"What. Factory, or other facilities." Shang Wen asked.
"Yes. It's the factory. Is that okay?" Princess Liu Yi asked.
"Yes, yes." Shang Wen thought for a while. The factory is the core area of technology. Shang Wen thinks this South Korean princess is a little too so. He didn't know what words to use to describe it.
