"Ginger is still old and spicy!" Looking at the back of Zhang Shiyi leaving, Li Xiu, who was standing in front of the door, said with the same emotion, and a smile very similar to Zhang Shiyi appeared on his face.

Zhang Shiyi persuaded him to leave Qi Niang behind, although it seemed that there was no problem, but Li Xiu felt that something was wrong, because with his understanding of Zhang Shiyi, he should not be so blatantly disagreeing with the bearded guest, after all, the bearded guest is a failure in his son's education, as long as the bearded guest makes a decision, Zhang Shiyi, who is a son, will not dare to have any objections.

It is precisely because of knowing the above that Li Xiu quickly saw that there was something greasy in it, because the more Zhang Shiyi let himself leave Qi Niang, the more hesitant he became, and even had a rebellious mentality, which is a bit similar to the radical method, but it is not exactly the same.

However, based on Li Xiu's understanding of Zhang Shiyi, he definitely does not have such a deep city government, and the only explanation is that it is out of the planning of the bearded guest, because the bearded guest not only understands his own character, but the depth of the city government is also very comparable, and it is likely that his letter to Zhang Shiyi has already explained how he said and did when he saw him.

Thinking of the above, Li Xiu couldn't help but smile helplessly, it seems that the bearded guest really wants to match Chengdao and Qi Niang, so he spent this effort and asked Zhang Shiyi to provoke himself according to his methods, but he neglected Li Xiu's understanding of Zhang Shiyi, which made Li Xiu see through.

Although he saw through the small actions of the bearded guest in this matter, Li Xiu was not angry because of this, speaking of which, although he and the bearded guest have not met a few times over the years, he can also feel that the bearded guest really likes Li Chengdao's righteous son, and this liking even exceeds that of Zhang Shiyi's biological sons, so it is not surprising that he did such a thing.

Early the next morning, Zhang Shiyi really left Chang'an, and Li Xiu also deliberately took time to go to Baqiao to send him off, but when sending the other party away, Li Xiu also specially told the other party to let Zhang Shiyi have the opportunity to inform the Americas in the future, and Datang's demand for gold and silver will be greater in the future, so I hope they can increase the mining of gold and silver, after all, Datang will transform to the silver standard or even the gold standard in the future, and this requires a lot of gold and silver, but the land of Datang is not rich in gold and silver.

After sending Zhang Shiyi away, Li Xiu rested at home for a few days, but he couldn't leave it alone for a long time, so he could only start to go back to the financial supervision to do things, in fact, he didn't do nothing these days, but often went to the new school to go around, those recruited from the private sector are trained there, according to Tian Chip's reaction, these people are very serious in learning, it is estimated that there is a great hope of passing the assessment in the future, but this is also normal, after all, this is related to their future jobs, and they will naturally study desperately.

I haven't been here for a while, and the financial supervisor has naturally backlogged a lot of things, but Li Xiu found a very interesting thing from it, that is, most of these backlogged things are on the bank's side, in other words, these are all backlogged things on Xu Jingzong's side, in contrast, Liu Renliang's money bureau has no backlog of things.

Of course, this does not mean that Liu Renliang does not have anything to deal with on his side, in fact, because the integration of the Minting Bureau requires the cooperation of many aspects, Li Xiu is required to come forward many times, but Li Xiu has rested for nearly ten days, but there is no backlog on the Minting Bureau, which is a little strange?

At that moment, Li Xiu dealt with some urgent matters first, and then let people check whether there were any big moves on the side of the Minting Bureau during his absence, and only after checking Li Xiu did he find that the Minting Bureau had cancelled three small Minting Bureaus during this time, and also presided over the merger of two larger Minting Bureaus, but for such a big matter, Liu Renliang did not delay because of Li Xiu's absence, but instead completed the matter with his own ability.

"This Liu Renliang is not only an acute son, but also a straight person, and he didn't take into account the consequences of doing so, no wonder he has not been promoted in history!" After returning to the room, Li Xiu couldn't help but shake his head and smile to himself.

On the surface, Liu Renliang showed a very strong ability to deal with government affairs when the chief official was away, but he committed a big taboo in the officialdom by doing so, first, he did not leave a chance for the chief officer to perform, so that the chief officer felt that his absence did not seem to affect the affairs of the yamen, and the general narrow-minded chief officer was afraid that he would be a little unhappy with Liu Renliang, plus he made a decision on the matter that should have been decided by Li Xiu, but he made a decision without authorization, which was actually a big taboo in the hands of the chief officer, and naturally committed the taboo of the chief officer.

Fortunately, Liu Renliang worked under Li Xiu, firstly, Li Xiu was not a narrow-minded person, and secondly, he did not attach much importance to the power in his hands, and even wished that his subordinates could do more, so that he could be a little more leisurely, so he was not afraid of his subordinates grabbing power, of course, not everyone in the entire officialdom had the same idea as him, it is estimated that this is also the reason why Liu Renliang has not been promoted in history, and it was not until later that he became famous by attacking Goguryeo, and finally was able to worship the prime minister.

However, Li Xiu soon found out that Liu Renliang did not know how to be a man at all, and when he came back, the Minting Bureau encountered some major decisions, and he would still send it to Li Xiu, in fact, Li Xiu really hoped that he could completely provoke the Minting Bureau, but it was not the time to say these things now, lest Liu Renliang would think too much.

Time passed quickly, in mid-August, the bank in front of the West Market was finally completed, and the financial supervision side also began to assess those trained by the Xinzhu School, all the people who passed the assessment, plus the arithmetic students of the Xinzhu School and Guozijian, also began to enter the bank, really familiar with the bank's affairs from the actual beginning, and are ready to start operating at any time.

"Save money!" Li Xiu strode to the counter of the bank, and there were two subordinates carrying the box behind him, and when his words came out, the two subordinates also immediately opened the box, revealing that it was full of copper coins, mixed with some gold, jewelry, and the like.

"This guest, our bank only accepts copper coins, if you want to deposit gold and silver jewelry in the bank, I suggest you open a safe, then these gold and silver jewelry will be deposited in the safe after the inventory, you can take it out at any time!" I saw a young man sitting behind the counter introducing Li Xiu with a smile on his face.

This is Li Xiu's ingenious simulation operation, he and the officials of the financial supervision to play the guest, and then come to the bank to deposit money, and then let these trained tellers to receive them, so that they can familiarize themselves with the business, but also find some problems in actual operation, and then solve them in advance. It is worth mentioning that these tellers have been personally designed and trained by Li Xiu, of course, the implementation of smile service in this era is really a bit advanced, but at least the necessary etiquette must not be lacking, otherwise the tellers will also be punished.

"Aren't these gold, silver and jewels also money, why can't they be deposited in it?" Li Xiu was deliberately embarrassed at this time, there were other officials next to him who were also simulating things at the counter at this time, and Li Xiu had also instructed them in advance to use all the possibilities that came to mind, so that the tellers could increase their ability to adapt.

"If the guests really want to deposit the gold, silver and jewelry in the bank as money, it is not impossible, we will have a special person here to value these valuables, and then convert them into copper coins, but the guests need to wait, we have free tea here for you to taste!" The teenage teller smiled again.

Of course, this young teller recognized Li Xiu, in fact, Li Xiu also recognized him, because he was originally a student of the Xinzhu Academy, and he had studied for four years, it can be said that he was watched by Li Xiu to grow up, and it was precisely for this reason that this student was not nervous when he saw Li Xiu, and his performance was much stronger than the previous tellers.

"Okay, then let someone estimate the price, I don't lack this thing!" Li Xiu said very arrogantly at this time, looking like a big wealthy businessman.

At that moment, Li Xiu was invited to the side by the teller to drink tea, and then a middle-aged man with a goatee walked over quickly, and then took out the gold and silver jewelry in the box one by one to evaluate, although the things in the box were very miscellaneous, but the middle-aged man's vision was very accurate, even the fineness of the gold and silver could be seen, and the estimated value of each piece was similar to that on the market.

This middle-aged man is also a banker, but he is different from an ordinary teller, but Mr. Zhangyan, who was specially recruited, is actually Mr. Chaofeng in the pawnshop, the pawnshop has appeared in the Northern and Southern Dynasties, and it is also extremely closely related to the temple's Changsheng Library, and it can even be said to be the same industry, because the Changsheng Treasury not only lends money, but also accepts mortgages in kind, which is the most primitive pawnshop.

However, some time ago, with the establishment of the Monk Daolu Division, the Tang Dynasty also began to vigorously crack down on the temple industry, the original reason for the opening of the bank was to target the Changsheng Library, and at the beginning of the bank's opening, Li Xiu sent people to the Changsheng Library to poach people at a high price, that is, these palm-eyed gentlemen, they are well aware of the prices of various commodities on the market, and they are specially designed to deal with this kind of guests who want to exchange items for copper coins.

When the appraisal was completed, Li Xiu felt that the price was appropriate, so all these items were converted into copper coins, and then Li Xiu provided his household registration name and other information, and then he could deposit the money in the bank.

In addition, Li Xiu can also set up a code word for withdrawing money, not only to take the certificate of saving money when withdrawing money, but also to write a code word, in fact, it is borrowed from the password of later generations, but this code word is not only limited to numbers, but also can be a sentence, such as a poem, or a sentence of the depositor out of order, meaningless words, etc.

This kind of simulated operation was held for several days, and many problems were found, but they were quickly resolved, and then the financial supervisors also felt that it was time for the bank to officially open!
