Datang: Li Shimin begged me to rebel

"Who told you that it was made privately, I made it aboveboard." Li Ke said with a serious face, what made it privately, who said it?Anyway, I don't believe it.

Li Yan was a little speechless, but she really didn't know if Li Ke made it by herself, but there was a great possibility that it was. She knew her Highness too well.

"Your Highness, let's not make mistakes. Otherwise, His Majesty will beat you up again." Li Yan paused for a moment, then said helplessly.

"No, I'm in charge of a department this time. There are so many people. Of course, I can make the court clothes myself. Otherwise, the Weaving and Dyeing Department is too slow to make them. Come on, put them on and go to work quickly , I now appoint you as the right minister of the Central Bank of the Tang Dynasty, responsible for handling all matters of the Central Bank of the Tang Dynasty." Li Ke said simply.

Li Yan: "..."

"Your Highness, are you serious?" Li Yan was a little helpless. Datang regards the left as the most respected, and the right means the deputy, but in most departments, there are usually only ministers, and then the servants.It can be called Shangshu, which means that the level of Datang Central Bank is the same as that of the previous six departments.

The departmental minister is a third-rank official position, and others such as Shizhong, Zhongshuling, Menxia Shilang, Zhongshu Shilang, Left and Right Guards and other sixteen generals, Taichangqing, etc. are all third-rank.

For example, although Wei Zheng is currently serving as a servant, his actual position is the third rank, but Wei Zheng has been named Sikong, which is the first rank.

There are only a few Zhengyipin in the Tang Dynasty: Taishi, Taifu, Taibao, Taiwei, Situ, and Sikong.

From the first rank, there are: Prince Taishi, Prince Taifu, Prince Taibao, Kaifu Yitong Sansi, etc. Many of them are loose officials.

Li Yan is only 17 years old this year, and she is still a woman. She came up with a third-rank real job. This... let alone the past dynasties, I have never heard of it even after searching through the history books.

"Seriously, hurry up, the Shangshu Province must have vacated the office space for the central bank today, you go to take it, after all, you often go to work later, what do you mean by staying here all the time now, All your knowledge is wasted, it is not easy for a person to learn something in this life, and it is even more difficult to have the opportunity to use it in practice, I don't want you to become a woman who only cares for her husband and raises her children in the future."

"I think you can definitely leave your name in the history books and let them all know, who said that women are inferior to men?" Li Ke said seriously.

Li Yan was a little shy and excited to hear that, yes, which woman in this world would meet someone like His Highness?That's me. Speaking of which, I'm really lucky.

"Then I'll go." Li Yan said seriously.

"Go, I'll take you to the gate of the imperial city." Li Ke nodded.

In addition to Li Yan, Li Ke, the accountant who helped Li Ke take charge of the statistics of the six departments last time, was also assigned to Li Yan. The person in charge was Ning Quan, who was Li Yan's assistant.

There are not many tasks in the early stage of Datang Central Bank, and the main task is the acceptance task. Li Yan does not need to worry about these tasks. Naturally, there will be personnel who have already trained to take charge. To put it bluntly, all the banknotes in Li Ke's hands will be distributed. , If they want to exchange silver or copper coins, they go to the bank to exchange them directly.

The other task is similar to the checks of later generations. This is a remittance business. The reason why checks are used is that copies of checks will be kept, and copies are important documents for reconciliation. For some commercial banks and treasury expenditures , check exchange is required.

This check is different from the checks of later generations. Many people have misunderstood that it is the same as later generations. The owner of the check signs, fills in the relevant amount and then goes to the bank to exchange it. The bank will directly deduct it from the account of the owner of the check.

This is of course impossible. In this era, there is no condition to play this kind of account system.

The check issued at this time is a fixed-amount check. It has a fixed amount just like banknotes, but there will be other information on it. For example, if it is issued for the Ministry of Finance, it will be printed: special checks for the Ministry of Finance, special The anti-counterfeiting label and matching exclusive password will also indicate that circulation is prohibited. If it cannot be exchanged due to circulation, we will not be responsible. Every check must have a special person with the official seal and the signatures and private seals of both parties on the check.

The person who gets the check needs to go to the bank to exchange it for banknotes of equal value. The check will be collected by the bank. When exchanging, a relevant signature and seal will be left on the bank.

Checks are used for reconciliation. It seems a bit cumbersome, but in fact it is relatively simple to make. It doesn't even need currency special paper and modern printing presses.

This thing is specially aimed at big customers. At the end of the year, big customers can even go to the bank to extract relevant backups, and then go back to reconcile the accounts by themselves.

Another kind of money order similar to a check is that some people are afraid that it will be unsafe to carry a large amount of money, so they can use the method of remittance. The unique anti-counterfeiting verification between the two places is unknown to outsiders.

For example, Li Ke didn't want to carry 100 million guan money from Chang'an to Guangzhou, nor did he want to carry 100 million guan banknotes, so he used this method to exchange it into a money order.The bill of exchange was transported from Chang'an to Guangzhou by the internal personnel of the central bank, accompanied by a sketch of the person handling the bill, a verbal code, and a token divided into two to guarantee it.

Of course, this fee is not cheap.

Anyway, the function of this thing is to research and implement a feasible routine. It does not support remittance to others for the time being. As for whether anyone uses it, Li Ke doesn't care.When there are no banks and banknotes, a large amount of gold and silver can be transported by someone, which is nothing.

When electromagnetism develops to a certain extent later, when radio is available, this kind of exchange in different places may appear as a remittance between different people.

In addition to these temporary businesses, other businesses are more about investigating how many banks need to be opened, and the circulation of banknotes, etc.

After sending Li Yan into the imperial city, Li Ke left. Sooner or later, she had to take this step, so Li Ke only gave her the relevant tokens, and ignored the rest.

Entering the imperial city, Li Yan took a deep breath. At this moment, she was wearing a red court dress and an official hat on her head, but she did not hide her feminine features. She even put on makeup and wore a very Small earrings, so a discerning person can tell that she is a woman at a glance.

To be honest, Li Yan once thought that if she became a friendly person, she would go to these vassal states and how she would appease these vassal states for the Tang Dynasty, but she never imagined that one day she would be like those famous ministers at that time, and become a great vassal. Don's officials!And it's a third-rank official!
