To be precise, the lack of professional talents needed by banks should be very large. Not to mention, there are many people on the counters in front of the bank that directly contacts the people. In addition, internal managers, statistics, supervision, etc. all require a large number of people. After all, there are no computers in this era, so human resources can only be used to replace them.

If you want to do things in a bank, it is necessary to first understand literacy, and it is not enough to just recognize literacy. In addition, you must be proficient in mathematics. The reason why you list mathematics separately is because scholars of this era only attach importance to the articles of saints, and may be fine in poetry, calligraphy and painting, but they are very poor in mathematics. Addition and subtraction may not be a problem, but multiplication and division may not be able to be, and their level is not as good as that of elementary school students in later generations.

Although Li Chunfeng wrote Li Xiu's new arithmetics into a book "Li Gongzi's Arithmetics" more than ten years ago, and it was promoted by the court among officials, there were not many people interested in arithmetics in this era. Officials only learned this book for the needs of being an official. For most scholars, they have never even heard of this book. Instead, businessmen who do business love this book very much. It is said that almost everyone in the accountant has one.

Banks deal with money all year round, and use mathematics more frequently. Therefore, banks need a large number of talents who can write and calculate, but few people can find it, but there are not many people who can write, and the minor officials of the Ministry of Revenue may be good at this, but the Financial Management Supervision has mobilized a large number of people from the Ministry of Revenue before. If they go to ask for people, the Minister of Revenue will have to find Li Xiu to work hard. As for recruiting from the private sector, the level cannot be guaranteed.

"Mr. Prince Concubine, this manpower is a big problem. Fortunately, it will take several months to build the bank. I think it would be better to recruit some of it from the public first, and then use these months to send someone to teach these people's math, so that it will be barely available in the future." Xu Jingzong also ran up and down during this period, responsible for all aspects of the bank's affairs, such as bank recruitment of manpower, and he has always been responsible for this feeling of holding power. After all, many people have asked him for this period of time.

"Don't worry about this. I've already figured out where to recruit the staff needed by these banks!" Li Xiu said with a calm smile at this time.

"Your Majesty, do you have a solution? That's great!" Xu Jingzong seemed to breathe a sigh of relief when he heard that Li Xiu had already made a countermeasure. However, if he looked carefully, he would find that his eyes were a little unnatural, because he had promised some people in advance and would help them arrange some people to enter the bank. However, Li Xiu said that he had prepared a candidate for a long time, and his previous promise might have been disappointed.

Li Xiu knew Xu Jingzong's little thoughts better than anyone else. He even knew that when Xu Jingzong helped him select officials from the financial management supervision department, he also had his little thoughts. Two officials came in through Xu Jingzong's back door. However, Xu Jingzong was still responsible for his work, and he did not dare to put people without talent in it. So Li Xiu turned a blind eye to this. After all, there was no fish when the water was clear. Occasionally, he gave his confidants a little sweetheart.

"It just so happened that the weather was good today. I had been in the Financial Management Supervision Commission for a long time and felt really bored. Why don't you accompany me out and meet the talents I prepared for the bank!" Li Xiu stood up and smiled again. He had been busy in the Financial Management Supervision Commission for almost a month. He even felt a little annoyed when he went out early and came back late every day. He just took this opportunity today to go out for a relaxing time.

"That's great. My subordinates have long wanted to go out with the prince-consort!" Xu Jingzong nodded immediately and agreed. Although he had not handled some things, in comparison, he felt that it was more important to be with his immediate boss. Moreover, he also knew that Li Xiu had never liked to be in charge of business. As long as he got Li Xiu's respect, he might have the final say in the future.

At that moment, Li Xiu and Xu Jingzong went out of the financial management supervision together, then rode out of the imperial city, first went to the western city, and checked the progress of the bank's project, because the craftsmen in the palace participated, and Xu Jingzong also recruited a lot of craftsmen from the people. Their skills may not be as good as those in the palace's craftsmen, but they can also do some rough work. After all, there are so many people who can do things. If this progress continues, it is estimated that the bank will be able to build it around August.

The special officials on the bank were in charge, so Li Xiu and Xu Jingzong got to know each other and left. Then they left Chang'an City from Mingde Gate and walked all the way south. However, Xu Jingzong was getting stranger and stranger. Finally, he couldn't help asking: "Mr. Prince Concubine, I look at this direction. It seems to be the way to the Ministry of Agriculture?"

The Ministry of Agriculture and Li Xiu's family were separated by a river, but Xu Jingzong was embarrassed to say that Li Xiu went home early, so he replaced the Ministry of Agriculture.

"Yes, let's go to the Ministry of Agriculture. To be precise, it should be a place next to the Ministry of Agriculture. You will know when you get there!" Li Xiu smiled again at this time.

"Isn't your family next to the Ministry of Agriculture?" Xu Jingzong couldn't help but mutter in his heart when he heard this. Of course, he didn't dare to say it, but he was very surprised at this time. How could Li Xiu have talents needed by the bank? Could it be that Li Xiu was going to stuff all his slaves into the bank? But if he did this, he would probably have the censors in the court attacked him. Moreover, with Xu Jingzong's understanding of Li Xiu, he would not have done such an unwise thing?

However, Li Xiu did not explain, and Xu Jingzong did not dare to ask too much, so as not to arouse Li Xiu's disgust. At this time, he thought of something, and then changed the topic and said: "By the way, has our Young Master Liu been wasting time on the road for too long and has not taken office yet? Isn't this too unwilling to take our financial management department to heart?"

The Financial Management Department has two minor supervisors, and Xu Jingzong is one of them. He has a strong desire for power and Li Xiu is unwilling to take charge of the affairs, so he has always wanted to control the financial management department. The other minor supervisor who has not yet taken office naturally became his first opponent to get rid of.
