System, help me become the empress

Chapter 140 Prepare to take the initiative
Emperor Chongjiu really underestimated the ability of these ministers to practice Tai Chi. In just half an hour, he was persuaded by this group of people to give up the idea of ​​Yujia's personal conquest.

By the way, the plan was changed to that Shenji Battalion dispatch all firearms soldiers to take Xu Youxi back safely from the Lianghu area.

He suddenly had a bold idea, did the unworthy girl in his family arrange him to act as the early court, not because he was expecting him to check and balance the officials, but because they wanted to let the officials keep a close eye on him to prevent him from doing anything wrong?

Xu Youxi stayed in Juanshan County until the sixth day, but Shibuzhengshi completely lost his words, as if he had completely given up on his useless son.

Due to the stalemate between the farmers in Jishan County and the landlord Shi Dongyu for too long, the fields have been abandoned.It was indeed too late to start farming until mid-April. Xu Youxi saw that these farmers did not give up and began to plow the fields day and night in the rain, so Xu Ling simply asked Xu Ling to send the two steam cars they drove to the farm. They helped turn the ground.

"Hello, Governor!"

In the past two days, every time Xu Youxi passed by the fields, he could see seven or eight elders sitting on the two steam cars, waving excitedly at her, and plowing the land while driving the steam cars.

The rear modification of the steam car brought by Xu Youxi was done by these farmers themselves, and the finished product was even simpler and more practical than the one developed by Shengong Bureau.

Xu Youxi planned to ask Shengong Bureau to improve the steam car according to the design of farmers in Jishan County after going back, and strive to popularize it in farming as soon as possible!
"My lord governor."

At this moment, the one waving to Xu Youxi from a distance was the widow horse who was leading her son for a walk outside.

"Pony is in much better health!"

In just five or six days, Xiao Ma, who was seriously ill and bedridden, can now get out of bed and walk normally, but his body is still slightly weaker than children of the same age.

Widow Ma walked in front of Xu Youxi, and quickly pulled the pony to kneel down and kowtow: "Hurry up and thank the governor for saving his life."

"Thank you, Lord Governor, for saving your life."

Pony thanked sensiblely.

"No need, you're welcome."

Xiao Ma was given penicillin on the second day after leaving the Jishan cave, and had a second blood transfusion on the third day, but there were still no adverse reactions.

According to the discussion of the two new doctors, it was concluded that there was no need for Xiao Ma to continue the third blood transfusion.The rest of the lack of blood depends on food supplements, and antibiotics for a few more days by the way, and after a while, the pony should be almost recovered.

When Xu Youxi returned to the government office from the field, Xu Ling also came to report the news.

"Have you caught the swordsman?"

This speed is really fast.

"Yes, Your Majesty. After interrogation, the sixteen swordsmen were all bandits on a mountain not far from Jishan County. There used to be sixty or seventy people in this bandit den, who specialized in robbing and bringing money to the Lianghu area to do Businessmen. But since the establishment of the bank, the businessmen who came here either did not bring any money, or they did not take this mountain road, which resulted in the gangsters failing to make a single business in the past few months."

"and then?"

Xu Youxi continued to ask.

"The bandits got angry and decided to go down the mountain to rob the bank... As a result, they tried it for the first time. 20 people were shot and killed on the spot, and more than 20 people were arrested and served their sentences in prison."

"The group of bandits who managed to escape didn't dare to attack the bank, but suddenly one day, a group of strangely dressed people approached them and promised to help them rob the bank. Even these strange people, They also took the initiative to release all their companions who were in prison. Therefore, these bandits started their second plan to rob the bank with the hope of giving it a try."

"Their second operation took place in the middle of the night. Although all the guards were not at the bank. But these bandits tried various methods but couldn't break through the door where the silver and banknotes were stored. I don't know who came out of it." Idea, use gunpowder to explode."

"However, after the gunpowder was blown up, the door locks were intact, and the soldiers with guns were attracted by the sound of the explosion. After receiving the first lesson, none of these bandits dared to resist at all, and they ran as long as they could. In the end , the bandits originally consisted of sixty or seventy people, more than people died, and more than people escaped, leaving only the last swordsmen still guarding the mountain."

"The last sixteen are all arrested now?"

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, not only the sixteen swordsmen were arrested, but also the twenty or so people who escaped before, all of them were arrested and brought to justice."

"..." It has to be said that the factory guard has always been at the pinnacle in the technology of weeding and eradicating roots.

So much so that later, this kind of saying spread in the entire Lianghu area somehow, which can make a nest of bandits go to a place where there is no return, and they will go to the bank.

"Are all the soldiers transferred before in place?"

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Xu Youxi felt that it was not a problem to hide in Juanshan County all the time, so she might as well take the initiative to see what kind of tricks this political envoy Shibu was planning to play when the rain stopped.

"Tomorrow morning, if it doesn't rain, everyone will go with me to visit the chief envoy."

#
The next morning.

Before Xu Youxi went to the chief envoy, he happened to pass by a bank, so he went in to see the real situation.

"Guest, do you want to handle some business?" The clerk greeted Xu Youxi with extra enthusiasm.

Xu Youxi didn't sit down either, and directly took out a Shanxi businessman's ID card that Yang Zhuiyue gave her: "I call your shopkeepers to come out first."

"Okay, okay."

The treasurer of this bank in Hunan is called Jiao Jiuyuan. He is over 50 years old now, but his face does not show any signs of aging.

"It turns out that the boss is here. Jiuyuan is rude! Boss, let's go to the next room to talk first?"

"it is good."

Soon, Xu Youxi, led by Jiao Jiuyuan, came to a quiet room to sit down and drink tea.

"Jiao Jiuyuan, how is your bank doing?"

"Boss, the location here is really bad. After a few months, we can barely keep our capital. It is difficult to develop further."

"Is it only possible to keep capital? No common people come to save money or something?"

"Yes, my boss, I really can only save capital. The local big businessmen in Hunan are extremely repulsed by the existence of 'banks' and 'paper money'. They themselves do not accept paper money, and they also require the shops and fields below to reject paper money. Transactions. Maybe there is this reason, and no one has ever tried whether the bank is reliable or not, so these people dare not deposit their money in the bank easily."

Xu Youxi took a sip of tea and patiently listened to Jiao Jiuyuan's complaints.

"I also inquired about several shopkeepers in other places, and found that as long as the banks opened in the two lakes are in the same situation. But all the banks opened in Jiangnan and other affluent areas are often in a much better situation than ours. Even many businessmen who came from other places responded that they think our banks here are too deserted."

"Then what do you think is the root cause of this situation in the banks of the two lakes?"
