The barracks is a military place, especially the barracks gate is the most important, not only guarded by guards all the year round, but also idle people are never allowed to approach, let alone any blockage, but when the old ghost came back from the street, he saw a group of soldiers wearing the same uniforms as him gathered in front of the gate of the barracks, almost blocking the entire camp gate, and what was even more strange was that the guards in front of the door let this kind of thing happen, and still stood there as if they didn't see it.

The old ghost was also surprised to see this situation, and when he approached to watch, he was even more surprised to find that many soldiers were carrying large packages, most of which were obviously very heavy, and in the experience of the old ghost, they must be filled with something valuable, and even the sharp-eyed he saw someone holding a pair of fine vases running over and squeezing into the crowd, provoking the people around him to scold angrily.

There is no such thing as a vase for the soldiers in the barracks, and the only explanation is that the vase is the soldier's trophy, but this also makes the old ghost wonder what these people are doing, why did they bring their hard-won loot here, and there are so many people around?

At this moment, a young soldier squeezed out of the crowd, and then folded a list in his hand and put it in his arms, and then the old ghost stepped forward and grabbed the other party and said, "This brother, what are you doing here with so many people?" ”

The young soldier saw a capital head stop him and asked, and he smiled politely at the moment: "Qi Qi Dutou, our brothers are actually gathered here to save the belongings on their bodies, or directly exchange them for money to save, you see the list in my hand, which is the document I got some gold, silver and porcelain deposited in the bank!" ”

"What is this bank, and why do you put things in the bank with confidence?"

The old ghost not only has a big life, but also has a very good brain.

I immediately heard that the key point in the other party's words was the thing called the bank, so I asked.

"Dutou, this matter is not something that can be explained in one or two sentences. If you want to know, you might as well squeeze in and take a look. There is a special person to explain to us, and you will understand by then! ”

The young soldier said with a bitter face at this time, he had been speaking inside for a long time before he understood, but if he was allowed to speak, I am afraid he would not know where to start?

The old ghost saw that he really couldn't ask anything, so he had to let the other party go at the moment, and he squeezed in with the others.

Unexpectedly, it caused many people around him to scold, even if the old ghost was a head, but at this time, the old ghost couldn't care much, he had to understand this matter, because he felt that this might be the key to dealing with the belongings in his house.

The old ghost is not tall, and his body is relatively thin, but he is born with divine power, and there are few people in the entire army who can compare to him, which is also the biggest reliance on his survival on the battlefield and his promotion to the head of the capital.

So naturally no one can stop him, but the soldiers around him are all rough people, and they don't care what the old ghost is.

They all scolded angrily, and the old ghost didn't have time to pay attention to them, so he squeezed inside.

Originally, when the old ghost was halfway through the crowd, he heard someone inside whispering something, and when he finally squeezed in, he immediately saw that there were more than a dozen large carriages in the middle of the crowd, and there was a table in front of each carriage, and there was a guy sitting behind the table, and now he was busy bowing his head and writing something.

From time to time, he would accept things handed by the soldiers, and in addition to these people.

There was also a man who looked like a steward was standing on the roof of a carriage and shouting something to the people around him.

Because there were too many people around, the old ghost didn't understand what the steward on the roof of the carriage was shouting at first.

It wasn't until he got closer that he slowly understood what was going on, it turned out that these carriages, stewards, and men were all from the Cao family, the first general of the Great Song Dynasty, and they came here mainly to open a bank.

The so-called bank, in fact, is to help people keep their property and money, as long as the soldiers in the army can trust them, then they can take the property on their bodies, or directly deposit it in the bank, or sell valuable things to the bank, and then store the money sold in the bank, these two ways have their own advantages and disadvantages, among which the physical deposit in the bank needs to pay more expensive, and the money stored in the bank is much cheaper, but the price of the bank is definitely lower than the outside.

During this time, the soldiers in the army captured a lot, and most of them were unwilling to hand them over to the army for safekeeping, so as not to be exploited, but there were too many things, and it was also a burden for them to carry them, especially the people who were going to be transferred to Jingzhou City tomorrow, and they were even more anxious to deal with the property in their hands, and now the bank's business was prepared for them.

Of course, if it is only the above, it is better to let the soldiers in the army rob so crazy, and the bank also promises that as long as the money or goods are deposited in the bank, and their names and home addresses are noted when depositing, as long as they die in battle, then the bank will send the money and goods they deposit to their families, and there is no charge, which is also a good thing that the two princes have done for the soldiers in the army.

The bank's promise can be said to have hit the death hole of the soldiers in the army, what they are most afraid of is that the property they desperately get in their hands cannot be delivered to their families, and in the end it is cheaper for others, but now as long as the property is deposited in the bank, it is equivalent to having a guarantee, so that they do not have any worries, which is definitely a great thing for the soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty.

Of course, there are also people who are worried about the credibility of the bank, after all, the property in their hands may be limited, but the property in the hands of so many soldiers is concentrated, it is definitely an extremely large wealth, I am afraid that few people in this world will not be moved, even the old ghost has this concern at the beginning, if it is himself, the key is that he still has more than a dozen brothers in his hands in exchange for his life, if it is embezzled by this bank, then he will cry to death.

However, the old ghost soon heard the steward on the roof of the car loudly declare that although this bank is nominally the business of the Cao family, in fact, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness the King of Guangyang County are also involved, and they still occupy the majority of the capital, and the Cao family only comes forward to maintain the bank's business, so he reassures the soldiers in the army, maybe everyone can not trust the Cao family, but His Royal Highness the Prince and His Royal Highness the County King are the princes of the Great Song Dynasty, especially the prince is still the future emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, and having them as a guarantee behind his back is enough to show the credibility of the bank, And if there are still people who don't believe it, you can go to the front of the Shuaifu to take a look, there is already a list of banks posted, stamped with the big seal of His Royal Highness the Prince, there will definitely be no fake.

Hearing that behind the bank was the prince and the king of Guangyang County, the old ghost couldn't help but feel moved, if there was only the Cao family, he was indeed not at ease, but plus the prince and the king of Guangyang County were completely different, last year Zhao Ji led the army to block the attack of the Western Xia people, which has allowed him to establish prestige in the army, this year he led the army into the Western Xia, and even won the battle, which made the soldiers in the army very convinced of Zhao Ji, as for Zhao Yan, although he did not stay in the army, But the corn and sweet potatoes eaten by the soldiers in the army were all made by him, and there were also firearms, which he improved single-handedly, so Zhao Yan's reputation in the army was not much worse than Zhao Yan's.

Of course, the most important thing is the identity of Zhao Ji and Zhao Yan, they are the princes of the Great Song Dynasty, and the entire Great Song Dynasty is their family, from a certain Cheng dù, they represent the court of the Great Song Dynasty, so when the old ghost knew that the bank was opened by Zhao Ji and Zhao Yan, he no longer doubted the credibility of the bank in his heart, but for the sake of caution, he still ran quickly to the door of the Shuai Mansion to take a look, and sure enough, he found that there was a notice hanging in front of the Shuai Mansion, and there were documents from the Shuai Mansion to help interpret the content above, after all, most of the soldiers in the army were illiterate.

The old ghost listened carefully to the explanation of the documents, and then looked at the red seal under the notice, and after confirming that it was Zhao Ji's handsome seal, he was completely relieved, and then he ran back to the barracks again, and didn't care about having lunch again, so he ran to the bank in front of the barracks with two large packages to deposit things, and he had already firmly remembered the names and addresses of the owners of these packages, and he would never make a mistake.

In addition, what surprised the old ghost even more was that when he explained that the owner of these packages had died in battle, the bank did not charge him a custody fee, and promised to send these things to the homes of the dead soldiers, which made the old ghost also moved, and finally he ran several times in a row to fully deposit the things, including his own trophies, when he squeezed out of the crowd, there were already more than a dozen deposit receipts in his hand, as long as he did not die this time, he would still fulfill his promise to send these deposit receipts back to the homes of those brothers, It would be nice for them to check that the goods sent by the bank were correct.

The old ghost who left didn't know that in the carriage more than ten zhang away behind them, Zhao Ji, Zhao Yan, and Cao Song were sitting in the car, looking at the soldiers who were crowded together not far away, while laughing and chatting.

"Third brother, ninth brother, according to your approach, I'm afraid you will lose a lot of money this time, right?"

Zhao Ji asked Zhao Yan next to him at this time, those loot are varied, and transportation and storage alone is a lot of money, not to mention that it has to be sent over one by one, and the cost is definitely not a few.

Before Zhao Yan could speak, Cao Song next to him had already replied with a smile: "Your Highness, don't worry, I have already calculated before, the storage fees paid by the sergeants, as well as the proceeds from selling to us at a low price, can just offset the expenses this time, and in the end, there will be no profit or loss!" ”

"Hehe, even if you lose money, it's okay, as long as you can build up the bank's credit this time, it's worth spending more money!"

Zhao Yan also smiled at this time, "And this is just the beginning, Brother Jiu'er, you prepare, let's go to Jingzhou together, there must be more loot in the hands of the soldiers there!" ”
