"Brother Huang, what if the bank is open and the merchant doesn't make a deposit?" Chen Cheng and Commander Wei glanced at each other and asked.

"Look at the edicts, if you don't believe them, they don't exist." Chen Chen threw the drafted clause to the two of them.

After reading the edict, the two couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Lord Wang, you are too ruthless." ”

Chen Chen laughed and said, "Each other." ”

The next morning, the major merchants and tycoons in Dongshui received a golden brocade edict from the imperial court, and several articles were written on the edict:

First, when the Dongshui Bank is opened, anyone who saves money can get 10 taels of silver if he saves 1,000 taels, and 100,000 taels can get 100 taels of silver.

Second, the bank will be opened nationwide and even abroad, and users can immediately withdraw money at each branch of Dongshui Bank with the brand, and withdraw it now.

Third, merchants who lack funds can also borrow money from the bank, and for every 10,000 taels borrowed, 1,500 taels will be repaid, and so on, with low interest.

Fourth, all merchants with a deposit of five million taels, the prince immediately promised that each family could provide a descendant, and the descendant could serve as a four-rank official in the imperial court.

Article 5, for any deposit of 10 million taels, the prince will immediately give a gold medal for exemption from death, as long as it is not treason, the gold medal for exemption from death is valid.

"Master, our family has never been able to be an official, and now that the opportunity has come, you should go and make a deposit."

"Abba, I'm committing an accident outside, I don't want to die, now only the death-free gold medal can save me."

"Dad, this can make money, we will also save it, and when we go to do things in the future, we don't need to bring money, we can go directly to the bank to withdraw it."

…………

For a while, the entire Dongshui Bank was talking about the Dongshui Bank, and the Dongshui Bank immediately became a hot word, and many wealthy businessmen even jointly requested the rapid construction of the Dongshui Bank.

In the palace, Chen Chen took Chen Biao and the triumvirate of the imperial court to discuss things.

"Brother Huang, look at it, now everyone is asking for the construction bank as soon as possible, why don't you prepare as soon as possible?" Chen Biao looked at Chen Chen with a smile, he didn't expect this method to be so useful.

Chen Chen looked at the Dongshui map and smiled gloomily: "What's the hurry, if they open a bank, they will deposit up to five million taels, just to ask for an official position." And this king requires each of them to deposit 10 million or more, so that this king can rest assured to do the big thing of Dongshui, after all, Dongshui has been a little tight recently, and various forces have slowly infiltrated in, if these hostile forces collude with the rich businessmen of Dongshui, it will be too afraid. ”

"The rich merchants of Dongshui are worth a lot, coupled with the entry of the rich merchants of the imperial capital, Dongshui has been quite difficult to control recently, and prices have risen slightly, so we must suck their funds into the bank, so as to stabilize the economic security of Dongshui, of course, with their money, we can also vigorously develop the army and trade, build infrastructure, and improve the national strength of Dongshui."

Shangguan Yu nodded and smiled and said: "The prince is wise, the minister also considered these problems a few days ago, and it couldn't be solved for a while. ”

Listening to Shangguan Yu's praise, Chen Chen was used for a while: "The prime minister is polite, the prime minister has been deeply distressed by his recent hard work, and his body still needs to pay attention!" Had it not been for your son telling me about your painstaking work last night, I would not have known that you were sick. Well, when the matter is settled this time, the king will allow you to take five percent of the bank's assets. ”

"Huh? Thank you to the prince, thank you to the prince, the ministers will do their best to assist the prince. Shangguan Yu was startled at first, and then there was a burst of ecstasy, only to feel that his body was fluttering, five percent of his property, that is also a big number, who doesn't love money?

Looking at Shangguan Yu's ruddy face, and then looking at the angry and jealous eyes of Lord Qin and Wu Kexin, Chen Chen laughed stupidly, and pretended to be confused, both of them were people who understood, and presumably the two of them would naturally understand what he meant.

Although it is necessary to provoke the centripetal force of the three of them, Chen Chen also knows in his heart that he can't go too far, otherwise the gains outweigh the losses.

"Lord Wu and Lord Qin are also working hard, but they are working harder for the prime minister, so your share is lower, how about three percent?" Chen Chen smiled affectionately at the two.

"The prince is wise and fair, the prime minister forgets to sleep and eat, and the ministers are convinced." Although Wu Kexin and Lord Qin were balanced in their hearts, it was difficult to hide the unconvincing in their tones.

"By the way, Lord Qin, there is something to work hard for you, you have recently given this king a strict eye on the movements of some rich children, and then the whole crime is revealed, the bigger the better, it is best to give this king a capital crime, so that they can force their family savings to exchange for a gold medal for avoiding death, Lord Qin, don't let this king down." Chen Chen's eyes rolled, and he smiled at Lord Qin, his mind was full of demonic elements, it was indeed a bit difficult to let the rich businessman take the initiative to deposit 10 million, since he was unwilling to take the initiative, he could only help them.

"Well, lord, I'm afraid this is inappropriate, this is unnecessary." The upright Lord Qin shook his head like a rattle, and he was absolutely unwilling to obey orders.

"Lord Qin, do you dare to disobey the prince's order? Do you know what it is to disobey the law? The prince is also a painstaking person, if you don't do this, it will be detrimental to our future safety and development, which is more important, you should have a number in your heart. Without waiting for Chen Chen to speak, Shangguan Yu immediately accused Lord Qin without hesitation, and even directly gave him a hat for disobeying the order.

"That's right, Lord Qin, don't be too rigid, your iron-faced and selfless reputation is nothing compared to Dongshui's safety, if Dongshui is subverted because of your actions, you are a sinner in history." Wu Kexin touched his beard and said righteously, his eyes were full of fierceness.

Chen Chen couldn't help but praise the two of them in his heart, this time it was indeed a bit of a loss to do it himself, but after these two said this, all of a sudden the mistake became Lord Qin's, and he threw himself clean, no wonder the ancient kings liked their favorite ministers, although these favored ministers were poor, but the ability of the round king's lies was first-class, which not only ensured the face of the king, but also gave the king the effect of getting rid of the lubricating oil under the steps.

"If Lord Qin is afraid of losing his reputation and is unwilling to do it, this king is not difficult for you, this kind of thing will naturally be done by someone......," Chen Chen also used the slope to get off the donkey to exert absolute pressure on Lord Qin.

"No, no, no, the minister's reputation is not a fart compared to the safety of Dongshui, and the minister must do his best." Lord Qin was in a cold sweat, and hurriedly knelt down to plead guilty.

"Well, Lord Wu, how is the personnel selection?" Chen Chen leaned back on the chair and asked Wu Kexin lazily.

Lord Wu nodded hurriedly: "Everything is ready, just wait for the prince to summon them." ”

"Well, let's go and do things, Dongshui has been getting tighter and tighter recently." Chen Chen closed his eyes and waved his hand, no longer looking at the three of them.

The three of them bowed and hurriedly left the palace.

Walking out of the palace, Lord Qin wiped his cold sweat, and there was a burst of fear in his heart: "You two will really fall into the well, and someone Qin has not offended you." ”

Shangguan Yu smiled indifferently: "Okay, Lord Qin, you do your job well, be careful that your official position is not guaranteed." ”

After speaking, Shangguan Yu directly boarded the carriage and went straight to the Prime Minister's Mansion.

"Lord Wu, how can you ......" Lord Qin looked at Lord Wu in disbelief, but he didn't expect that Wu Kexin, a respected scholar, would also fall into the ground.

"Lord Qin, the old man is protecting you, if you don't have the sense of obedience, I'm afraid you will be taken down by the prince a long time ago, the position of the three of us is very hot, many people want to get it, Lord Qin, you can do it and cherish it, don't waste the trust of the prince, and ask the resourceful daughter when you go back." Wu Kexin patted Lord Qin's shoulder with a serious expression and left.

Lord Qin smiled bitterly, got into a sedan chair and went straight to Qin's mansion.
