The China Charity Foundation was handed over to the imperial court, and Li Zhonghua did not lose anything, but he was a little disappointed in the imperial court, and he was even more worried about whether the imperial court would change the use of the donations.

The will of the people can be used, but the will of the people cannot be bullied, once the trust is lost in the people, it is not easy to take it back.

In anticipation, the Bank of China finally opened its door, and at the same time, the banknotes issued by the Bank of China also officially began to be issued.

For every deposit of 10 yuan, you can get 210 yuan of interest per year, which does not seem high, but it is very attractive, compared to before, 10 yuan of money deposited in the bank for a year, not only there is no interest, but to deduct 120 yuan, the attraction is a lot.

Prior to this, Li Zhonghua sent people to cooperate with the major commercial banks in Chang'an, such as restaurants and Qinglou Chuguan, and as long as they deposited the operating funds of the Bank of China in the future, they would be rewarded with the same amount of money for every 100 yuan of money.

On the first day, the Datang Daily also published a list of commercial banks that supported the payment of Bank of China's banknotes.

With the support of major commercial banks, there are many people who come to deposit and exchange banknotes, but the number of exchanges is not much, and many people have the attitude of trying it out.

The Bank of China, which opened on the same day, also has Bingzhou Branch, Yizhou Branch, Luoyang Branch, and Hezhong Branch.

On this day, more than 20 people sent money between the five major banks.

Remittance is divided into regular remittance and expedited remittance, depending on the distance.

Taking Chang'an to Luoyang as an example, an expedited remittance can be reached in ten days, while an ordinary remittance is one month.

The fee standard is also different, the ordinary remittance fee is 300 Wen for ten yuan, and the urgent remittance is three times that of the ordinary remittance.

There is also a kind of express remittance, which can be delivered to the other party the next day, each time the remittance is at least 100 yuan or more, and the fee is as high as 20 yuan, using carrier pigeons to transmit messages.

Before the Chinese New Year, the Chinese New Liquor, which had been sold only in-house in the Chinese New Restaurant, was finally sold to ordinary customers, but it was only sold in the Chinese New Liquor Specialty Store.

Other merchants also sell it, but Zhonghua Xinsa does not guarantee that the Zhonghua Xinjiu sold in non-specialty stores must be genuine.

There is no way to do this, although until now, there have been no counterfeits, mainly because distilled spirits cannot be counterfeited by others, unless someone has mastered the technology of distilling spirits.

The New Year is over in a blink of an eye, this is Li Zhonghua's first year in Datang.

On the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, the entire Li Mansion was lit up everywhere, and Li Zhonghua was also rarely idle, and it was only less than a year since he came to the Tang Dynasty, and the assets under Li Zhonghua's name reached an astonishing number, mainly thanks to the contribution of distilled spirits.

In addition to winemaking, the income of the China Restaurant is also not to be underestimated, and the China Restaurant in Chang'an alone has tens of thousands of monthly dividends.

Today, China Restaurant has opened ten branches in various states and counties, and is still expanding.

The Bank of China has just opened, and although it has not yet started to make a profit, Li Zhonghua is optimistic about its prospects.

As for Datang Daily, it can guarantee that it will not lose money at present, even if it is very good, but Li Zhonghua has not thought about making money from Datang Daily.

But Datang Daily fed a lot of people, selling 30,000 copies a day, feeding two or three hundred newspaper boys, dozens of printing and typesetting workers, editors and reporters, and some poor scholars who wrote articles.

Submitting an article to Datang Daily, once adopted, you can get a manuscript fee, and you can also win popularity, which can be said to be fame and fortune.

Today's Datang Daily, all the yamen in Chang'an City, are indispensable, what Guozijian, Fuxue, County School, Poetry Society, Qinglou, Chu Pavilion, all have subscriptions.

If you are lucky enough to write a poem that can be published in the Datang Daily and appreciated by a certain official of the dynasty, then you have a great future.

Moreover, the emperor of the current dynasty also subscribed to the Datang Daily, in case His Majesty remembers you, it will have a great future.

Even if you don't have any of these, in case the poems you write are sung by the Qinglou Chu Pavilion, it will be a very face-saving thing.

There are more than 300 workers in the winery located outside the performance, and there are 11 stores including branches in the Zhonghua Restaurant. Thousands of employees are supported, and nearly 300 courtesans are supported.

Of the newly opened Bank of China, five of them, including the head office, have already opened, with more than 300 employees and more than 200 security personnel.

In this way, there are already nearly 2,000 people who need to rely on Li Zhonghua to support them, pay them salaries, and need tens of thousands of yuan per month, which shows that the burden on Li Zhonghua's shoulders is not light!

On the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner on the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, a large round table was already full of wine and food, fifteen people sat together, Xu Xiaolan couldn't resist Yang Xue, and was forced to sit down by her.

"Xianggong, today is Chinese New Year's Eve, it is rare for our family to sit together and eat a tuanyuan dinner, you, the head of the family, do you want to say a few words to the sisters!" Yang Xue said with a smile on her face.

Today's Yang Xue is finally pregnant with a child as she wishes, and she will be a mother in half a year, and she is in a very good mood.

What is rare is that despite being pregnant, Li Zhonghua often stays by her side, which also makes her very moved, and she loves Li Zhonghua even more.

"Well, I'll say a few words." Li Zhonghua looked at the fourteen beautiful women who were as beautiful as flowers, and he was a little excited.

"Over the past year, we have gone from not knowing each other to being familiar with each other, becoming a family that loves each other, thank you for never giving up on me, come, we drank each other's first glass of wine."

Li Zhonghua stood up, raised the wine glass in his hand and said.

Fifteen men stood up, fifteen glasses clinking.

"Xianggong!"

"Sir!"

"Cheers!"

"Each one of you is as beautiful as a flower, and it is my blessing to have one of you, and I should be content.

But you all chose me, and you never gave up on me, so that I was not only moved, but also moved.

Here, I just want to say to you, in this life, if you do not leave me, I will not abandon you.

Let's do this second drink together. ”

Everyone toasted together, and after drinking the second glass of wine, Li Zhonghua continued: "For a long time, I have not been with you well, and I have not even taken care of family affairs.

Fortunately, a lot of things are almost busy now, and I should have more time to spend with you at home in the future.

This third glass of wine wishes our family a happy life together forever. ”

"Wish us always together, cheers!" Everyone cheered in unison.

After such a long time, Li Zhonghua has completely figured it out, since everyone has no opinions, is willing to live with him, and is willing to be his own concubine regardless of his reputation, then there is no need for him to be coquettish.

They are all beautiful, beautiful and charming, and the man will not be moved when he sees it, even in later generations, the high degree of social civilization, monogamy has become the main theme, and those who are worth thousands of dollars and powerful men, and there are several people, and there is only one woman around them in their lives.

It's just that few people are together publicly, and women other than wives are not called concubines, but lovers, mistresses, and second wives.
