Jia Xu smiled at Chen Deng, raised his hand to Liu Ze, and said: "Brother Yuanlong, let me reintroduce you, this is the big shopkeeper of Huitong Tianxia Bank, Liu Ze Boss Liu, and Huitong Money Village in Xuzhou is just a semicolon." ”

Chen Deng was stunned: "This ...... This ...... "Chen Deng really can't equate Liu Ze, who was born as an emperor and used to be a plain keeper and is now a pastor in Xuzhou Prefecture, with a money shopkeeper.

Liu Zehan said with a smile: "This time Yuanlong believes that I can borrow this money, right?" In his early years, he was in business, and he made a little money, but after the Yellow Turban Rebellion, he abandoned business and joined the army, and he has been the plain guard. ”

You can get a billion at hand, and it can be regarded as a small amount of money? Chen Deng was about to pass out. "It's clumsy, I don't know Mount Tai, I'm ashamed."

Liu Ze chuckled and said: "It's no wonder that Yuanlong, businessmen are just cheap in the eyes of the world." However, in business, although this money can be taken out and lent to the state capital, it will also be returned after the harvest next year. Although I, as a state pastor, can't be greedy for a penny of officials, I don't necessarily have to post my own money. ”

Chen Deng also smiled and said: "This is natural, the lord can solve the urgent needs of Xuzhou, it is already the luck of all the people of Xuzhou, and then the lord will be able to pay money and grain." In Chen Deng's view, Xuzhou is already Liu Ze's own business, Xuzhou's affairs are all decided by Liu Ze, and the wealth of the government treasury is naturally at his disposal, but Liu Ze has a clear distinction between public and private affairs, and he is as clean as water, which is rare in the world.

At this time, Pan Feng came in to report: "Lord, Liu Qian, the treasurer of Xuzhou in the world, and Meng Tan, the head of the Xuzhou Dart Bureau, was summoned to come." ”

Liu Ze was overjoyed. "Please." ”

According to Liu Ze's order, after the closure of the general number of Huitong Tianxia and the branches of each state, the Xuzhou branch has been maintained in a state of opening, and the business of the Yangwei Dart Bureau has been closed, and Meng Tan has been ordered to be stationed in Qianzhuang to protect the safety of Qianzhuang. As soon as the two of them came in, they saluted Liu Ze and said, "See the lord." ”

Liu Ze helped the two of them up and said, "Deran, you have worked hard in Xuzhou for the past ten years." "Liu Qian after the death of his father. defected to Liu Ze. has been the shopkeeper of the Xuzhou branch, marrying a wife and having children, and life is also very comfortable.

"There, there, thanks to my brother's care. The younger brother is very comfortable in Xuzhou. ”

Liu Ze introduced Liu Meng and the others to Chen Deng and Xu Shu. Although Chen Deng did not meet with Liu Qian. But Huitong Tianxia Qian Zhuang is also well-known in Xuzhou. Chen Deng has naturally been famous for a long time, and he has admired it for a long time.

"Deran, how has Qianzhuang been running in the past few years?"

Liu Qian told the truth one by one. When Huitong World Money Bank was first established. It is based on foreign exchange, the world's nine consecutive opening, a prosperous, Xuzhou branch in that period of business prosperous, financial resources, prosperous, Zhongping six years later, with the Luoyang general number and other states after the closure of the branch, the exchange business can not continue, Xuzhou branch business is naturally plummeting, only by the loan business to maintain. Xuzhou is not as good as the capital Luoyang, both the number and scale of loans are far apart, and Liu Qianlai has to abide by the regulations of Qianzhuang borrowing and maintain the principle of three non-borrowing, so Qianzhuang's business has also fallen into stagnation. Although Liu Qian didn't understand why Liu Ze turned off other branches and left a branch in Xuzhou alone, he still guarded this stall conscientiously, just waiting for the moment when Liu Ze arrived.

"Now that the lord has arrived in Xuzhou, is the Xuzhou branch also closed like other semicolons?" Liu Qian asked, anyway, he doesn't make money anymore, and there seems to be no need for the Xuzhou branch to save zài.

Liu Ze laughed and said: "De Ran's words are wrong, not only can the Xuzhou branch not be turned off, from tomorrow, the Xuzhou branch will be promoted to the general number of Huitong Tianxia Qianzhuang, and four new branches will be built in Pengcheng, Xiapi, Guangling, Langya and Xiaopei, and the business will be bigger and stronger." ”

Liu Qian said suspiciously: "Now that Qianzhuang is struggling, can the lord open so many semicolons again?" ”

Liu Ze said confidently: "Don't worry, the golden sign of Huitong World will never fall!" This is also the reason why I have always asked you to stick here, doing business is integrity, when the Luoyang head office was closed, I had already posted a notice, no matter when, the money ticket of the world will never be invalid! The Xuzhou treasury is empty, and I have decided to borrow one billion money from the Xuzhou branch, with an annual interest rate, which is enough for you to be busy. ”

The annual interest rate of 10% is already a very low interest, but the principal is expensive, and the interest of lending one billion money a year is 100 million. Liu Qian was elated, and naturally followed Liu Ze's instructions. However, one billion is not a small amount, and the current capital reserves in the bank are not that much.

"It's okay, a billion dollars can be in place within three or five days at the latest. Deran, do you have a ready-made rice shop with a mortgage? Liu Ze asked him.

"Yes, there is a rice shop on South Street, which once borrowed money from the bank, and then closed down due to poor management, so the rice shop was given to the bank. Didn't the lord want to run a grain business? However, now there is only a shop and no food, so it cannot be opened for the time being. "To borrow money from the bank, you naturally have to have a store, pù, real estate and other mortgages, and if you can't repay the loan on time, these collaterals will be confiscated by the bank.

"Don't worry, there will be food, tomorrow morning, Deran will appoint people to let the rice shop open for business in the name of Fuyuanzhuang." Liu Ze is categorical.

"Isn't that too hasty?" It will open tomorrow morning, and for Liu Qian, the pressure is a bit high.

Liu Ze said in a deep voice: "The grain market in Xuzhou has reached the point where it cannot be delayed, if you connive at these scholars to speculate and hoard, I am afraid that the people's grievances will boil and be out of control." ”

Chen Deng was happy with worries, happy that Liu Ze finally decided to take action to save the grain market in Xuzhou, and he was so worried that Liu Ze would inevitably go against the wealthy family in Xuzhou.

"My lord, is there no compromise plan? As a last resort, it's best not to clash head-on with the four great families. ”

Xu Shu didn't speak for a long time, and said at this time: "Brother Yuanlong, it's not that the lord wants to provoke them, but that they are too aggressive!" Now the situation in Xuzhou is very clear, and these scholars are trying to manipulate the price of grain through guò, so as to blackmail the lord, jam the lord's throat, and force the lord to wag his tail and beg for mercy from them, so as to seek greater benefits. What kind of person is the lord, how can he be coerced by these little people? Not doing their hoarding and disrupting speculation is already a subordinate tolerate! ”

Liu Ze said solemnly: "The people take food as the sky, and grain is the foundation of the people, and the grain market in Xuzhou must not be chaotic!" Since they want to compete, then I'll accompany them to the end! ”

Wang Ji rice shop is the largest rice shop in Xuzhou city, and there is a long queue at the door every day before the door opens. In the past two days, the price of rice has risen continuously, and the residents in Xuzhou City are a little unbearable, but looking at this shape, the price of rice may only rise but not fall, and many people have to come out to buy rice even if they complain, and they have to buy it as soon as possible, and the ghost knows if it will rise again in the next hour.

Mr. Sun is a teacher at a private school in the city, and although his income is not high, he can still make a living. Although Cao Bing came, he also left, and Taozhou Mu was gone, but he was also replaced by Xinzhou Mu, which was very distant for Mr. Sun, and his task was to take money back every month to support his wife and children. In the past, with Mr. Sun's income, food and clothing were not a problem, but in the past few days, the price of grain has skyrocketed, and he is really a little unbearable. But no matter how expensive it is, you have to buy it, and the wife and children at home are waiting for the rice to go to the pot, Mr. Sun clenched the usual copper coin in his hand, and waited for the rice to open the door.

A few men lazily removed the door panels of the shop, and people crowded to the tall counter of the rice shop. The shopkeeper Yu, who had a big black mole on his face, sat behind the counter, yawned, and put a wooden sign marked with the price of rice on the counter, and said expressionlessly: "Today's rice price, 10,000 yuan a hundred!" ”

"What?" The crowd of people buying rice immediately boiled, "Yesterday it was 5,000 yuan a day, but today it has risen to 10,000 yuan, it's really dark!" ”

"That's it, these black-hearted profiteers, who don't care about the lives of the common people, only care about making money for themselves, it's too tricky!"

The crowd was indignant, the voices were boiling, shouting, shouting and scolding, endlessly.

The shopkeeper Yu was unmoved, and said coldly: "It's too expensive, then don't buy it!" 10,000 dollars is still expensive, do you know what kind of world it is now? The price of rice in Yanzhou, 50,000 yuan a hundred! The price of rice in Yingchuan is 100,000 yuan! The price of rice in Guanzhong, 500,000 yuan a hundred! Listen, 500,000 dollars! Hmph, the price of rice in Xuzhou is already the cheapest in the world, buy it or not, tell you, there will be no store in this village! ”

Someone said angrily: "Don't listen to his nonsense, let's not buy him, go to another house to buy it." ”

"That's it, it's—" The crowd of rice buyers began to pour out.

With a contemptuous sneer on the corner of the shopkeeper's mouth, he sat behind the counter and stood still.

As soon as people walked a few steps, someone was shouting: "Don't go, the Xiao family's rice shop over there is also 10,000 yuan a hundred." Another person next to him also said: "The same is true of the Lu family's rice shop, 10,000 yuan a day, and he also said that the price will increase in an hour." ”

Everyone was stunned, there was really no way to live this day, some people were scolding on the street, some people beat their chests and cried, and the whole Wang Ji rice shop door was a mess.

Mr. Sun desperately squeezed to the counter and begged: "Shopkeeper, it's okay, it's cheaper, my wife and children at home are waiting for the rice to be cooked." ”

Shopkeeper Yu squinted his eyes and snorted coldly: "Cheap? Tell you the truth, at this price, it is still today's price, as for tomorrow, it will not be this price, if you want to buy it, buy it quickly, don't buy it! (To be continued......)
