Chapter 134: Generous Presentation
When he came to the hall on the first floor, Cui Wenqing was still standing at the staircase, and he was already stunned by the crowd below.
Originally, according to his conjecture, even if they borrowed money, the people should be very sensible, at least they had to go back and discuss it with their families, and there would definitely not be a situation where many people poured in for a while.
However, what Cui Wenqing didn't expect was that the situation that would never have happened happened so really, and the people who gave the money were still so enthusiastic and active, which Cui Wenqing really didn't expect.
At this time, Zhi Zhao walked up the stairs, and his beautiful eyes flashed with a moving luster: "Husband, what you said just now is really good, look at ......" After that, he turned around and looked around the crowded hall, "I really didn't expect that there would be so many people, and Husband Jun really made a great contribution." ”
"No," Cui Wenqing shook his head and said solemnly, "It's not that my words just now are encouraging people's hearts, but that our family is really protecting the family and defending the country, and we are spilling blood for the people. ”
Seeing that Cui Wenqing didn't take credit at all, Zhi Zhao couldn't help but smile, glanced slightly, and looked at another part of the hall, where there was a plaque of "Hedong Road through the business of Luofu", but compared to Zhenwujun's business handling, there were many fewer people.
Zhi Zhao turned his gaze and said with a slight smile at Cui Wenqing: "Husband, I'm afraid that Hedong Road will regret becoming neighbors with us, look at the place where they borrowed money, there are only a few people." ”
Cui Wenqing laughed and said: "Yes, I believe that the minister will be depressed, but this is a competition of strength, and the emotions of the people are more likely to be moved by the deeds of the soldiers to protect the family and defend the country. ”
Hearing Cui Wenqing say this, Zhi Zhao immediately couldn't help laughing.
Throughout the day, there were countless people who came to handle business.
Piles of white flowers and silver were collected, and instead of them, the bonds covered with the Great Seal of the Governor of the Zhenwu Army, or the Great Seal of the Hedong Road, were sent out.
In order to distinguish between them, Cui Wenqing called the bonds of the Zhenwu Army as military bonds, and the calls of the Yamen of Jinglufu as national bonds.
At the end of the day, the Hedong Bank closed its doors and began to count the day's borrowings, and used the logarithm of the stubs of military bonds and treasury bonds to check whether the amount of silver taels borrowed was correct.
The clerks in the bank are all people who are good at accounts selected by Tongzhou, and in the crackling sound of abacus, it took a full hour for all the accounts to be counted clearly.
"How's it going?" Tong Zhou had just arrived, and hurriedly asked.
Lu Huiqing's expression was obviously a little excited, and he said in a trembling voice: "After a little bit of justice, today we have received a total of 7,800 taels of loans from Hedong Road and Jingluo Mansion. ”
"Oh, there are so many?" Tong Zhou raised his eyebrows, and his tone was a little higher, obviously very surprised.
I borrowed more than 7,000 taels of silver in one day, and it was just Taiyuan City, which was really amazing.
Although the economic capacity of other states and counties is certainly not comparable to that of Taiyuan, which is the largest city in the north, it is better because of the large number of cities, and it is believed that the collection of these funds must be a huge amount of money.
In this way, Hedong Road will definitely have money in the coming year!
Thinking of this, Tong Zhou couldn't stop being excited.
At this time, Zhi Zhao was also asking Cui Wenqing about the amount borrowed by Zhenwujun, Tong Zhou was curious, and hurriedly listened:
"Husband, I don't know how much money we borrowed today?"
"Oh, it's been calculated, it doesn't seem to be much."
Hearing Cui Wenqing's voice a little low, Tong Zhou couldn't help but feel a little proud.
Although this loan to the private sector was jointly done by the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion of Zhenwu Army and the Jinglufu of Hedong Road, the two governments were completely independent in terms of money, because they were co-located, so Tongzhou still had a little comparison in his heart, and naturally he did not want to weaken the momentum of the Yamen of Jinglufu.
"Not much? How much is that? Over there, Zhi Zhao continued to ask.
Cui Wenqing pondered slightly, stared at the numbers on the account and replied truthfully: "Lady, we borrowed a total of 189,400 taels today.
As soon as the words fell, Tong Zhou's smug smile suddenly froze on his face.
What the? One hundred eighty-nine thousand four hundred and twenty two? It is more than 20 times more than the yamen of Jingluo Mansion, why is there such a big difference in the amount of fundraising in the same place?
And what made Tong Zhou even more depressed was that when he was satisfied with the 7,800 taels he borrowed, Zhenwujun borrowed 189,400 taels, and Cui Wenqing sighed and said that he didn't borrow much, which really made Tong Zhou feel embarrassed.
Lu Huiqing was very close to Tongzhou, and naturally saw Tongzhou's surprised and dissatisfied face, and secretly said with great grievance: If you want to blame, blame Cui Wenqing's words today are really good, compared to our yamen, the people support the Zhenwu Army more, and it is natural to have this gap.
Hearing the figures reported by Cui Wenqing, Zhi Zhao suddenly showed a pleased smile on his face, and said: "It's already very good, why are you too little, husband?" ”
"Lady, you might as well think about it," Cui Wenqing calmly analyzed, "Taiyuan City is also a big city with a population of one million, and one hundred and eighty-nine thousand four hundred taels sounds like a lot, but after it is evenly divided, each person only lent us one hundred copper coins, so naturally it is not enough." ”
"Husband, this equalization method is not right." Zhi Zhao shook his head and said with a smile, "It is true that there are many rich merchants in Taiyuan City, but in comparison, the number of poor people is more, many of them have just satisfied their own food and clothing, how can they have silver to lend us." ”
Cui Wenqing is right to think about it, if the height of Yao Ming and Xiaosi is used to pull the average, the average height data obtained has no reference value at all.
However, Cui Wenqing still felt that the amount raised was too small.
At this time, people in Gaine did not have the idea of saving money to the bank to earn interest, and it seems that the bank still has a long way to go.
The next day, the banking business remained booming, and there was an endless stream of people who came to buy military bonds and treasury bonds.
Cui Wenqing stayed in the bank all day and dealt with the situation all the time.
Today's order is much better than yesterday's.
Because of the overcrowding and bustling situation in the banks yesterday, Cui Wenqing demanded that the people who came to buy military bonds and treasury bonds must line up and not make loud noises, so as not to affect the handling of business.
Speaking of which, at that time, Daqi did not have the concept of queuing, and the people were all you squeezing me, I squeezing you, who could squeeze in front of the most with physical strength, they could give priority to business.
As a result, many frail women, children, and the elderly suffered a great loss, and many of them squeezed into a day without squeezing into the business office.
The Hedong Bank lined up, and Wuhou came to maintain order, which also won a lot of admiration from the people.
