Chapter Twenty-Five: Losers
Yizhou, the land of ancient Qin, from the autumn frost city to the east, the fast horse can be reached in one day, if you take a carriage, it will take three days.
After receiving the notice from the state government, Zhao Ruoxin put on a mustache and dressed You Xiaojiang very chicly, so she finally took You Xiaojiang and his subordinates from Qiushuang City to Yizhou, preparing to receive the upcoming imperial court.
Three days later, the carriage entered Yizhou City, according to the news sent by Chu Fengniang, her shop in Yizhou City Bank was opened in Liuhe Lane, not far from Xicheng, so as soon as she entered the city, Zhao Ruoxin did not go directly to the state capital Yamen, but was worried about how Chu Fengniang's bank was going.
In this era, unlike before Zhao Ruoxin's crossing, the money bank has long existed, but the concept of the bank has not yet appeared, but these money banks are mainly engaged in the deposit and withdrawal of silver money in different places, charging high handling fees in the middle, of course, there is also a certain amount of lending, but the interest rate of lending is absolutely unimaginably high, and it is generally calculated in days.
Therefore, Zhao Ruoxin analyzed that she does not charge handling fees for deposits and withdrawals in other places, plus the annual interest is calculated for lending, and in the process of lending, it is completely exchanged for collateral equivalent, which is definitely a big market, plus she has the 100,000 taels of silver that Chu Fengniang snatched back from White Wolf County as the capital, from the principal, except for the money bank opened by the imperial court, the general private bank must not compete with her.
Zhao Ruoxin was not familiar with the road, so she and You Xiaojiang entered the city, and asked someone to inquire all the way, until around noon, and finally found the place where Chu Fengniang opened a bank in Liuhe Lane.
Before the carriage approached, Zhao Ruoxin had already gotten out of the carriage, walking towards Liuhe Lane, and also took a look at the well-known Yizhou City by the way.
Just after looking at a stall standing on the street selling sugar gourds, Zhao Ruoxin thought about whether to return to Qiushuang City and let some villagers from the village to do barbecue, potatoes and other snack business, and then looked up, and saw a large group of people from a distance surrounding the big plaque of Rennan Bank.
Someone outside shouted: "Didn't you say yesterday that as long as you have a mortgage, you can take out a loan?" Why are you changing your mind now, liar, I think you are liars"
Someone else responded: "Even they are liars, get out of here." Tell your shopkeeper to come out, I deposited ten taels of silver in your bank three days ago, and today there is news from Gongping County, saying that you haven't withdrawn any money from the shop over there, liar. Tell your shopkeepers to come out and pay back the money."
Seeing this situation, Zhao Ruoxin was puzzled, and said in her heart, what the hell is Feng Niang doing, didn't she write a few days ago saying that everything here is very smooth!
Seeing that there was a tendency to get bigger and bigger, she hurried two steps to squeeze into the middle of the crowd, raised her hand to press, and said calmly: "Don't worry, don't worry, everyone line up, one by one, if it's good to withdraw money, stand on the right." There is not much else left and right in Rennan Bank, which is a lot of money, which big brother, don't worry, we are such a big bank, how can we not pit your ten taels of silver, shoot well, line up"
After doing this, seeing that the excited crowd had just calmed down, Zhao Ruoxin was about to call Chu Fengniang at the top of her voice. Immediately, a man from Chujiazhai came to her ear and whispered, "Rennan! The money is out of money, it's useless to queue up"
"What?"
Zhao Ruoxin was startled and asked in a low voice, "One hundred thousand taels of silver, it's all gone?" ”
The man replied, "One hundred thousand taels brought out." Qiushuang County, Gongping County, Maiyuan County and other six counties have left 10,000 taels of shops, and only 40,000 taels have been left to bring to Yizhou.
"What?" Zhao Ruoxin was almost so angry that she didn't come up in one breath. He also said: "Then bring the money from other shops, stick to this side first, and don't lend money to other counties first."
Hearing Zhao Ruoxin say this, she saw that the man was pulling her and walked towards the shop, and kept sighing: "Hey~ Rennan, it's gone, it's nothing, and the other shops are also gone."
Grass!
Zhao Ruoxin was so angry that she stomped her feet, and she almost couldn't get up in one breath: "What's the matter?" What kind of fame does Feng Niang make, no one will come to save money, and it will all be our loans? ”
The man greeted him and walked towards the back hall, and sighed and said: "Yes, at the beginning, someone did come to deposit money, the shopkeeper on the counter has calculated, bits and pieces, the deposit is less than 1,000 taels of silver, I am thinking, if someone comes to withdraw money today and can't withdraw it, the matter is big, and the people who saved money before turning back come to withdraw money, what can we do, Rennan, you have to think of a way!" ”
"How? I'll figure it out? Zhao Ruoxin's hair was almost smoking, "Feng Niang, Feng Niang is there, hurry up and take me to see her, it's really a thing that is not enough to succeed and more than to fail."
Passing through a small courtyard in the back, the man who led the way pointed to the front and motioned for Zhao Ruoxin to continue walking forward, and the man who led the way immediately turned around and went back to the shop.
Zhao Ruoxin took a few steps forward, and because of her anger, her footsteps were a little heavy, and she walked with a puff.
However, before she could take a few steps, she immediately heard a vigilant woman's voice coming from the courtyard behind: "Who's who?"
Listening to this voice, there must be no doubt that it was Chu Fengniang, Zhao Ruoxin immediately shouted angrily: "Who, who else do you say"
Unexpectedly, she roared out, and immediately there was a flower in front of her, and the people in the yard seemed to be frightened, and a pale green figure swished past in front of her, and in less than a blink of an eye, she had already played two laps in the air and went directly to the roof opposite.
"Lady, are you making trouble again?"
Zhao Ruoxin looked up and saw the reckless Chu Fengniang running directly to the roof, and suddenly her head was as big as a bucket.
Chu Fengniang on the roof was really frightened by Zhao Ruoxin's voice of 'who, who else do you say', and her heart was beating so hard that she was about to break, she had climbed above the roof, and immediately prepared to run again, but when she heard Zhao Ruoxin's 'lady', she dared to look back.
At this look, the originally nervous face immediately stretched, and the high chest rose and fell, and he didn't rush down from the roof, but kept panting: "Oops~ Xianggong is you, you scared the slave family to death, and the slave family still thought"
"Get out of here," Zhao Ruoxin was so angry that she vomited blood, "Why do you think?" ”
Chu Fengniang was very reluctant to jump down slowly, a pair of big eyes dripping left and right to observe, as soon as she jumped off the roof, she immediately pulled Zhao Ruoxin to a corner with a bad line of sight, and said sneakily: "The slave family thought it was a depositor who came to ask for money, just now they were shouting outside, if the slave family didn't pay back their money, they would break the slave family's legs, my obedient, but scared the slave family to death, the slave family didn't dare to go out all day~~~" (To be continued.) )
