Chapter 102: Play Big
Although Zhoujiazhuang is not big, Zhou Yuansheng, the largest landlord in Zhoujiazhuang, is not simple.
Zhou Yuansheng has been a landlord for generations, with 10,000 acres of fertile land at home, and is the largest landlord within a radius of 100 miles, with a lot of wealth.
In today's words, the Zhou family is a well-deserved local tyrant.
However, such a character actually came to invite Zhou Liangxing, a broken house, to a banquet, what is the picture?
Everyone understood in their hearts and inquired about the movement of Daxing City.
The invitation of the landlord's house who could be reached, Zhou Liangxing's face was greatly satisfied, and he excitedly bid farewell to his companions and followed Steward Huang to the landlord's mansion.
Walking into the gate of the Zhou family and looking at the tall and sturdy blue brick house, the previous envy and jealousy were swept away, and there was a contemptuous gaze.
"Dirt!" This was the first thought in Zhou Liangxing's heart.
Zhou Liangxing's satisfied eyes all fell on the eyes of Steward Huang and Zhou Yuansheng, who came up.
The two glanced at each other, and their evaluation of Zhou Liangxing couldn't help but be a few points higher.
"I heard that Brother Liangxing is back, and my brother likes it very much, so I specially invited my brother to get together!"
Zhou Liangxing and Zhou Yuansheng are both in the same village, although the two are very different in terms of property, but they are the same generation in terms of generation.
Knowing that Zhou Yuansheng had a request for himself, Zhou Liangxing was unceremonious.
After three rounds of drinking, Zhou Liangxing put down the wine glass in his hand and spit out the bones in his mouth, it was time to get down to business.
Zhou Liangxing wiped his hands, and without waiting for the rich man Zhou to speak, he took the initiative to say: "Since my brother has already eaten and drunk, I will definitely know everything." ”
Zhou Yuansheng nodded with satisfaction.
Half an hour later, Zhou Liangxing touched his round stomach with satisfaction, and left the Zhou family compound drunk, leaving a table full of cups and plates, and Zhou Yuansheng who was deep in thought.
The fantastic city, with the flat and neat brick road, 100,000 acres of terraced fields, the beautiful and elegant courtyard houses, and more importantly, the fierce bandit suppression troops can wipe out the bandit Li Zhongwen overnight......
The reason why the Zhou family was able to develop and grow was that the ancestors of the Zhou family were able to pursue advantages and avoid disadvantages, and repeatedly avoided military disasters and rebellions.
Now it seems that Daxingcheng is a good choice.
Two days later, Zhou Liangxing left Zhoujia Village and went to Daxing City again, accompanied by more than a dozen villagers in the same village who were unwilling to be plain.
After another two days, Zhou Yuansheng, the largest landlord of the Zhou family, sorted out ten carts, leaving a few old people to guard the house, and at the same time hired fifty nursing homes to escort them all the way and move his family to Daxing City.
This happens again in different places.
All of a sudden, countless manpower, material and financial resources have moved in a common direction from all directions - Daxing City.
And Daxing City is like a huge whirlpool, absorbing people from all over the world, and does not refuse all visitors.
The first Spring Festival of the Great Sui Dynasty was formed.
"It's a big game!" Yang Yu stood on the wall of Daxing City, his face heavy.
Under the city walls, all kinds of people flowed endlessly, and everyone had confusion and hope on their faces.
"How's the Disaster Relief Division preparing?" Yang Yu asked.
"The Disaster Relief Department has started all the projects before the Spring Festival, and is making every effort to absorb the displaced people who are working." Du Ruhui's eyes were red, and he obviously hadn't slept well for a long time.
"There can't be any chaos." Yang Yu solemnly commanded.
"Follow the instructions of His Royal Highness the Acting King." Du Ruyan bowed and responded.
Different from the wave of migrant workers in later generations, the migrant workers who came to Daxing City were not only those who had nothing, but also a group of special people.
These people are freshly dressed and angry, with many servants, and as soon as they set foot in Daxing City, they are infatuated with this magical metropolis.
In order to make a home here, they spared no money.
Exquisite luxury goods from all over the country, ingenious terraces, and beautiful courtyard houses.
As long as you have money, you can buy anything in Daxing City, except for buying people, because His Royal Highness the Great Acting King issued the "Prohibition of Human Trafficking Order".
After the buying spree, these wealthy people from all over the world began to set their sights on the Imperial Bank.
They are outsiders, and they have not deep roots in Daxing City, although they are all the territory of the empire, they still have a deep sense of crisis.
In their hometown, they have a treasure trove buried deep underground, a large number of nursing homes to guard, and their property is very safe.
However, there seems to be only one safest place in Daxing City, and that is the Imperial Bank.
The profound heritage of the 100,000 acres of terraced fields of the Disaster Relief Division, the royal credibility of His Royal Highness the Acting King, the perfect policies of the Imperial Bank, and the impregnable protection have become the best choice for those landlords and old wealth.
In just five days, all the safes of the Imperial Bank were sold out, and huge deposits appeared.
The Imperial Bank was not closed for five full days, and was open for business at twelve hours a day.
"Bang dang!"
The heavy door of the Imperial Bank fell with a bang, and Monk Yanlai collapsed in his chair exhausted.
It's finally time to take a break.
"Governor!" The bookkeeper shouted in a trembling voice.
"Huh?" Yan Lai opened his eyes tiredly, he was already exhausted, if it weren't for such a silver stimulus, he would have been unable to hold on.
"At present, the deposits of the Imperial Bank have reached ......," the head of the accounting office said excitedly.
"How much!" Yan Lai's cloudy eyes burst out with a compelling brilliance, and Shang Lu, who had been closing his eyes next to him, quietly opened his eyes.
The bookkeeper swallowed his saliva and said in a trembling voice: "Five...... Tens of thousands. ”
"Five thousand...... Wanguan! "Yanlai's tongue is knotted.
What is the concept of 50 million guan, the Great Sui Dynasty was rich and strong, and the taxes were heavy, and Rao did not pay 50 million guan in taxes a year.
And this small bank turned out to have the wealth equivalent to a year's tax payment of the empire.
"It's a big game!" Yan Lai and Shang Lu glanced at each other, and couldn't help but have this idea from the bottom of their hearts.
"Immediately block this news and don't allow anyone to spread it." Yan Lai ordered, of course he knows the truth that money is not exposed.
So much money is the source of trouble!
"Slaves and maids enter the palace immediately!" Shang Lu said with a gloomy face.
Yan Lai nodded,
"Fifty million!" Yang Yu was also shocked, when there is no money, is it a hero for a penny, there is a way: a rich man, it is difficult for a man without money.
But 50 million guan, such a huge amount is still too much to burn.
Yang Yu's mind suddenly changed.
"Your Highness?" Shanglu shouted.
Yang Yu came back to his senses and asked, "How many people know this news. ”
"Your Highness, Mr. Yan, slave maid, and an account room." Shanglu replied truthfully.
"Do you want to ......" Shang Lu made a gesture to extinguish his mouth, of course, it was the account room that wanted to extinguish his mouth.
Yang Yu shook his head, thought for a while, and said, "Send two East Palace guards to transfer that account to the East Palace for secret protection." ”
"You and Mr. Yan are each equipped with two East Palace guards for personal protection." Yang Yu commanded.
"His Royal Highness King Xie Dai!" Shang Lu was moved in his heart, of course he knew the preciousness of the guards of the East Palace, and Yang Yu sent two guards to protect him, which showed the importance he valued.
Yang Yu thought for a while and said: "Now that all merchants are using money, they signal those Daxing merchants who have saved money before to withdraw their money and continue to expand their business. ”
The withdrawal of a large amount of money should be able to temporarily slow down the exposure of the Reich Bank's deposits.
Yang Yu gave a few more precautions, and Shang Lu bowed and left.
Behind him, two fierce guards followed him.
