Jiangning Province is one of the few large cities in the Great Song Dynasty second only to Bianjing in terms of size and population.

It is the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties, with magnificent city walls, wide streets, majestic buildings, developed weaving industry, profound cultural heritage, and its status in the south of the Yangtze River is higher than that of Suzhou and Hangzhou.

In Bianjing, whether it is the emperor's concubine or the rich officials, almost all the silk products worn by them are produced in Jiangning Mansion.

At this time, on the second floor of an ordinary business on Chengxi Street, Jiangning Fucheng, a white-clothed scholar with a clear face and a beard was sitting in the room frowning and pondering, as if he was preoccupied.

This is an office of Deyi Lou Group in Jiangning Mansion, which is used to manage Deyi Building, oil mill, wine shop, newspaper office and Da Song Bank branch in Jiangning Mansion.

This white-clothed scholar who frowned and frowned was Wu Yong.

It has been nearly two months since Wu Yong came to Jiangning Mansion.

In fact, it has been nearly three months since he left Qingzhou, and in the first month he went to Suzhou to deal with the personnel account crisis of the branch of Suzhou Da Song Bank, but fortunately, things did not come to the worst point, Wu Yong spent more than ten days secretly visiting the depositors of Da Song Bank one by one, and after sorting out a book of accounts, after avoiding all kinds of stumbling blocks of the Zhu family, he finally stabilized the branch of Suzhou Da Song Bank without causing big losses.

After dealing with these, Wu Yong, in accordance with Wu Zhi's instructions, fired the shopkeeper of the Suzhou branch as soon as possible and replaced it with a capable shopkeeper brought by Qingzhou.

After doing this, Wu Yongcai came to Jiangning Mansion to sit down, ready to show his strength to revitalize the branch of the Great Song Bank in Jiangnan Sanzhou (Suzhou, Hangzhou) and a mansion (Jiangning), and compete with the Zhu family's Tiandi Bank!

Shandong got Wu Zhi's order, for Wu Yong's bank also gave full support, boxes of cash a large number of transported to Jiangning Mansion, the competition between banks is nothing more than throwing money, who has more money, who can use the money well, who has competitiveness, Wu Yong since the establishment of the Song Bank is the second in command, all the way to the development of the present, in this world, people who know more about finance than him, except for his colleague Jiang Jing, there is no two.

Therefore, after Wu Yong is confident and gives him sufficient conditions, he will definitely be able to live up to Wu Zhi's expectations, so that the Great Song Bank will completely suppress the Zhu family's Tiandi Bank in the three states and one capital in the south of the Yangtze River, and continue to grow, and then blossom everywhere.

Moreover, even if the Zhu family engaged in any conspiracy, Wu Yong was not afraid at all, with the depth of his scheming, how could the Zhu family's pediatric methods be calculated? When the branch crisis was solved in Qingzhou before, the Zhu family did not have a lot of ghosts, and they were not recognized by Wu Yongyi one by one, and once they even tricked the Zhu family with a plan.

But now.........

Wu was embarrassed.

Because it has been a few months, Wu has exhausted all kinds of means, but the situation of the branches of the three states and one government of the Great Song Bank has not developed in the direction of his efforts, and the branches of the Great Song Bank are still half-dead and can only barely support, on the other hand, the Zhu family's Tiandi Bank has a strong momentum, not only in Suzhou, but also in only two months, it has developed to five branches, in addition to three states and one government, but also opened a branch in Luzhou, the upstream of Jiangning Mansion!

The reason why the Zhu family's Tiandi Bank has been able to develop so fast is not that their financial competition methods are better than Wu Yong's, in fact, the core talents that their Tiandi Bank has dug up in the past are all trained by Wu Yong, and their financial competition methods are 108,000 miles worse than Wu Yong.

It's not that they used any conspiracy and trickery that Wu Yong didn't notice...... In fact, when Wu Yong first started to compete to suppress Tiandi Bank, the effect was still very significant, through some complex calculations of high-return deposit interest rates and low loan interest, as well as some safe and thoughtful services, Da Song Bank quickly won the recognition of businessmen and ordinary people, and the limelight was unparalleled for a while.

At that time, the Zhu family tried to attack the credibility of the Great Song Bank by various means, but they were all avoided by Wu Yong as a precautionary measure.

But it was precisely because Wu Yong was too difficult to deal with that in the end, the Zhu family came up with a trick, and almost overnight, they directly hit the various branches of the Great Song Bank into a sluggish position, and even Wu Yong was helpless.

The Zhu family's move was not only unexpected, but even Wu Zhi felt appalling after hearing it.

Because the Zhu family directly issued an explicit order to the government of all the state capitals in the Jiangnan area, ordering the common people and merchants not to deposit money in the Great Song Bank, whether it was depositing money or borrowing money, once it was lost, the government would not care...... This kind of non-mandatory official order seems to be beneficial to the Great Song Bank on the surface, and if the people deposit money to the Great Song Bank, once the government does not care, will it not be in vain to cheapen the Great Song Bank?

In fact, otherwise, the bank is simply credibility and confidence, without the legal protection of the imperial court and the government, the people will suddenly have no confidence in the bank at all, who will leave the money in the bank that the government does not ask?

Moreover, more importantly, without the protection of the government, Da Song Bank will not dare to borrow money from outside, because as long as it is lent out, it is legal for others not to pay it back, how dare the bank borrow money?

Therefore, as soon as the government's order came out, the Great Song Bank instantly languished, and even a lot of money was not recovered, and Wu Yong was busy for nearly a month before he recovered the loan for the bank through various overt and covert means.

For this move of the Zhu family, Wu Yong is powerless, no matter how powerful a businessman is, he can't fight for power, Wu Yong never expected that the Zhu family's power in Jiangnan has been so terrifying, you know, this kind of power to give clear orders to various officials, but only the rulers of Bianjing Zhongshu Province have the power!

The emperor could not easily give such instructions, and the small southeastern court of the Zhu family actually ...... So arrogant!

"Humph!"

With a cold snort, Wu slowly folded the note in his hand in half and stuffed it into his cuffs.

The note was sent by Bianjing to Wu Zhi's instructions, Wu Yong reported to Wu Zhi the current situation of the Great Song Bank in Jiangnan a few days ago, and Wu Zhihui's instructions were only two sentences, that is, he was ordered to barely maintain the status quo of the bank in the three prefectures and one government in Jiangnan, temporarily give up the development in the Jiangnan area, and seek development outside the Zhu family's power.

Reading Wu Zhi's note, Wu Xinxin suddenly cooled down, he thought that Wu Zhi was in the political center of Bianjing, and the imperial court would definitely deal with accountability after exposing the Zhu family's responsibility for overstepping his authority, but he didn't expect the big official to let him temporarily give up the most prosperous Sanzhou and one mansion in the south of the Yangtze River!

It seems that the power of the Zhu family is difficult to shake in Bianjing, otherwise the military officials will definitely not give such an order, and issuing such an order can only show that the officials are overstepping their authority and are helpless!

"The court is really extremely dim, I hope that the big officials can rise as soon as possible, and give me a bright and prosperous Song Dynasty!"

Looking at the direction of Bianjing, Wu was full of expectations in his heart.

Getting up and pacing back and forth for a while, Wu Yong also calculated the Zhu family's sphere of influence, and preliminarily formulated the future development plan of Da Song Bank.

Although the Zhu family is known as the "small court in the southeast", in fact, the sphere of influence is in the area of "three states and one government", and then to the south of Fujian and the South China Sea, because it has not been listed as a degraded official by scholars, many high-ranking officials who have been prime ministers are known there, so the Zhu family is too lazy to meddle there.

The economy there is not too developed, but there is a place that is different, Wu Yong, as a person in the banking industry, has the most contact with all kinds of businessmen, and is also well-informed, he heard that the port of Quanzhou in Fujian is particularly prosperous due to frequent sea trade, and the business is particularly prosperous, and it is not even under Suzhou and Hangzhou, so Wu Yong plans to send people to investigate and develop over there, if it is indeed as rumored to be, it is necessary to establish a branch there before the Tiandi Bank.

Maritime trade is generally very large, and the most important thing is to capital, and once the bank is established, it will definitely make a lot of money.
