16th of September, an auspicious day.
Yanmen City Center.
Anping Square, the Tang dynasty bank officially opened for business.
Du Qi had initially chosen the name of the Tang dynasty bank as the Zhonghua bank. According to Du Qi's plan, after it expanded, it would be the Zhonghua bank. However, in the end, he decided to do as the Romans did and use the name of the Tang dynasty bank.
The business of the Tang dynasty bank was mainly to accept deposits and pledges in exchange for money. In short, with the bank notes of the Tang dynasty bank, one could do business in the North without having to carry too much money.
In fact, it was quite dangerous to carry money when doing business in the North.
After all, once one left seclusion, one would enter the territory of the Mutated Tribes and could be robbed by bandits. With the bank notes, one could store all their money in the bank and trade directly in the bank.
After all, this was a new thing. The bank announced to the public that there was a certain amount of interest for depositing money in the bank. However, there were not many ordinary people who came to deposit money. Most of them were merchants.
Merchants often needed money to do business.
Ordinary people were all rich and liked to hide all their money in their homes. Only then would it be safe.
Du Qi was not in a hurry.
When the first batch of people who had deposited money realized that they could really earn interest, many people would flock to the bank. The bank would expand bit by bit. After all, the existence of the bank needed credibility and a certain amount of public trust.
Only when countless people believed in the bank could it be established.
This was just the beginning.
There was still a long way to go.
The bank's matters were now left to Jin Wuque. When Du Qi was free, Liu Jian hurried over. He came to Du Qi's study in the backyard of the bank and reported, "Young master!"
Du Qi said, "What's the matter?"
Liu Jian said, "Mr. Wang Ji is here. He's waiting for you in the backyard of the Manager's Residence."
Du Qi stood up and rushed back with Liu Jian. Du Qi asked as he walked, "Why did Wang Ji come to Daizhou? Is there something important?"
Liu Jian replied, "Young Master, Mr. Wang didn't say anything, but from the looks of it, he seems very anxious."
Du Qi nodded and went straight back.
After returning to the backyard of the mansion, Du Qi met Wang Ji and sat down with him in the study. He said, "Mr. Wang, you are in charge of the Academy of the Tang dynasty in Chang 'an. Why have you come to Daizhou?"
"Sigh …"
Wang Ji sighed.
Du Qi said, "Mister, if you have encountered a problem, please tell me directly. Why do you have to sigh?"
Wang Ji said, "Young Master Du, I failed your trust and screwed up the Academy of the Tang dynasty. I am here today to bid farewell to Young Master Du. The Dean of the Academy asks Young Master Du to find someone else. "
Du Qi said, "Sir, just tell me what's going on. We can only discuss this after you tell me everything! "
Wang Ji was a talented person.
Such a person was hard to find, so Du Qi would not let Wang Ji leave no matter what.
Wang Ji no longer concealed and said directly, "The thing is, the Academy of the Tang dynasty has been established. There were originally some famous people teaching in the Academy, but after the war in Hebei, the Crown Prince returned to Chang 'an and directly recruited some famous people in the Academy. "
"In the face of the Eastern Palace's conquest, few could remain unmoved, so many famous people left the Academy."
"In addition, some of the better and more talented children in the Academy were poached by the East Palace after they showed a little bit of talent. Especially these children, they are all under Young Master's command. They are like a family, so it's not good to be harsh. "
"The Academy today is not bad, but in fact, the real top people have been poached."
"The Academy of the Tang dynasty is ordinary."
Wang Ji said with a sad and indignant look, "It is far from what Young Master Du said in the Academy. I can't stop such a result, so I ask Young Master Du to choose someone else. "
"Hahaha …"
Du Qi suddenly laughed.
His laughter was loud and echoed in the study.
Wang Ji said, "Young Master Du, what are you laughing at?"
Du Qi said seriously, "Mr. Wang, in fact, you don't need to worry about these things. Whether it's targeting the teachers or the students, it should be the East Palace's doing. "
"But it's good that our people can have a better development, and I'm happy about it. Of course, these people have nothing to do with us after they leave. "
"In fact, can people who are poached by the promise of money and fame really stay?"
"After a long time, they can't stay."
Du Qi said, "To some extent, the departure of these people is a good thing. Because without these people, the rest of the people are really willing to stay in the Academy. And the rest of the people can be trusted by the Academy. What Mr. Wang needs to do, in addition to teaching and educating people, is another thing. "
Wang Ji said, "What is it?"
Now Wang Ji was used to being the Dean of the Academy of the Tang dynasty, and he was more concerned about the Academy of the Tang dynasty. He hoped that the Academy of the Tang dynasty could prosper and be worthy of the inscription Du Qi got from Li Yuan.
The scholars of the Academy really must practice the idea of establishing a heart for heaven and earth, establishing a life for the people, inheriting the lost knowledge for the past sages, and establishing peace for all ages. They must become real scholars.
This was Wang Ji's expectation.
Du Qi said, "Mr. Wang, what you need to do is to let the teachers of the Academy be proud of the Academy, and let the scholars of the Academy be proud of the Academy. Let them form a sense of belonging. "
"Those who leave don't have to worry about anything, and encourage the scholars who stay in the Academy to keep working hard."
"Because the Academy has been established for too short a time, it has no foundation, and the talents who are poached will be affected. But as time goes by, there will be more and more talents, and more and more people will take root in the Academy and be willing to stay in the Academy. This is something that cannot be moved by money and fame. "
Du Qi said, "So in the current situation, Mr. Wang, you don't have to worry. Take it slow."
Was Du Qi not angry about the situation in Chang 'an?
Yes!
Li Jiancheng poached his team.
Du Qi would not let go of this hatred. It was estimated that Du Qi was in Daizhou, and Li Jiancheng thought that it was difficult for Du Qi to control Chang 'an, so he restrained him.
Du Qi's mind turned, thinking about how to make Li Jiancheng unhappy.
It was not his style not to take revenge.
Wang Ji thought for a moment and said, "Young Master Du, how about moving the Academy of the Tang dynasty to Daizhou?"
Du Qi said, "Why do you have this idea, Mr. Wang?"
Wang Ji said in a deep voice, "For a long time in the future, your father should be working in Daizhou. So you should also be in Daizhou. The Academy is still a little troublesome without you. And the Crown Prince is really difficult to resist. And the Academy often has problems, which is also a troublesome thing. "
Du Qi said, "Mr. Wang, even if I stay in Daizhou, I can't stay there forever. At most, I will return to Chang 'an for three to five years, maybe less. This Chang 'an is the base camp. So, Mr. Wang, you should stay in Chang 'an. "
Du Qi was not in a hurry to establish the Academy of the Tang dynasty.
As long as the Academy was established, he could slowly adjust it later. After all, Li Yuan was now the emperor. Even if Li Yuan valued him as the emperor, Du Qi could not let go of many things. And now many things could not be changed. Once the general trend was changed, it would be difficult for Li Shimin to ascend the throne and become the emperor.
The key was still Li Shimin.
Du Qi had to wait until Li Shimin ascended the throne. At that time, it would be time for him to make a grand plan.
So Du Qi now comforted Wang Ji.
Now, after listening to Du Qi's words, Wang Ji sighed and said, "Young Master Du, to be honest, this is all because of me. I want to develop the Academy of the Tang dynasty, but I don't have the ability, so I can't go up or down. On the contrary, I am in a dilemma. If it's just learning alone, I have no problem. But to develop it, it is far from enough. "
