After the establishment of the Federal International Bank of Westeros, branches of the International Bank were soon established in various dukedoms.

In terms of size, these branches are naturally not comparable to the head office.

However, in terms of business, except for some high-level businesses that do not have the authority to handle, there is no difference from the head office in other aspects.

One of the most popular is the non-local remittance and transfer business, in addition to small business loans.

The pertinence of small business loans is still relatively limited, and generally those small businessmen have the courage and qualifications to handle them.

After all, the bank is not a good house, not everyone can take out a loan, at least you have to have the corresponding collateral.

Of course, if you think your life is worth a few dollars, it's not impossible to borrow some money from the bank.

It's just that, after that, your life doesn't belong to you anymore.

It is said that no one should be stupid enough to handle this kind of business under such harsh conditions, but in fact, there are many people who handle this kind of business.

It's not surprising to think about it, although King's Landing has indeed changed dramatically.

But compared to the entire continent of Westeros, it is only a drop in the bucket.

Especially in those places where the living conditions are extremely bad, not to mention that it is a problem to survive with enough food and clothing, and what can be counted by selling one's life for money.

Compared with the business of small business loans, there are more people who use long-distance remittance transfers.

All you need to do is go through the formalities at any branch of the Federal International Bank of Westeros, and you can avoid the hassle and danger of hitting the road with a large amount of metal money.

Unlike small business loans, relocation money transfer is not just for those who have money. Ordinary people can also send some meager income to their relatives who are far away.

According to the bank's regulations, there is no handling fee for remittances within one golden dragon.

This provision is specifically designed to cater for those who have low incomes. Otherwise, no matter how low the handling fee is, it is estimated that the vast majority of people will be blocked from the bank.

In fact, since the opening of the Federal International Bank of Westeros. The people who can really enjoy banking services are basically limited to the two groups of wealthy businessmen and aristocrats.

Even if there is interest on the deposit, for ordinary people who can't even eat enough, even if they want to get interest, they have to have money.

That is to say, because of the continuous development of farms, mines and other projects, King's Landing has absorbed a lot of labor, so that many people finally have income, and there are relatively more people who go to the branch office of the Federal International Bank of Westeros to handle deposits or other business.

As for the branches that have been established in other aristocratic territories, although it is not yet possible to talk about it, the related business is indeed very light.

Fortunately, the establishment of branches is not only to absorb deposits, in addition to various loans, wealth management and insurance and other corresponding financial services, these branches also play a role in postal logistics, tax supervision. and even the role of communication towers and so on.

To a large extent, it can be said that when branches of the Federal International Bank of Westeros were established in all the noble fiefdoms.

Robert Baratheon, the king of the Seven Kingdoms, had a real grasp of his territory.

Almost every day, a large number of messages are passed back to the head office from various branches, and these messages are filtered and categorized by the appropriate personnel.

In less than a month, the Federal International Bank of Westeros already has a relatively complete information base.

Where new veins are discovered, what are the mines, and how many reserves there are.

Someone died of illness in any family, bloodshed occurred for what reason, and even the content of the chaotic private life in aristocratic circles.

For the Federal Bank of Westeros to extend its "tentacles" to their territory, those nobles are more or less unhappy.

It's not happy, the current situation is stronger than people.

In addition, Robert Baratheon is also the King of the Seven Kingdoms. Don't say that just getting a "nail" to put on your territory, it is justified to directly find a reason to bring troops to fight you.

What's more, the emergence of banks not only plays the role of "nails", but also brings a lot of benefits.

It's not. Two lines of large letters were written on the advertising wall outside the Winterfell branch:

If you want to be rich, have more children and more trees!

If you want to be rich, raise more rabbits and build more roads!

Two slogans that are very intuitive. The policies inside are also clear at a glance.

Needless to say, the policy of encouraging childbirth is also where Liu Rui'an came out.

No way. The population of the world of A Song of Ice and Fire is pitifully small.

Take Winterfell, for example, such a large fiefdom. Stark's own family aside, the population of the common people is severely deprived.

Of course, this is also something that cannot be helped.

The population can be increased, but how to feed the increased population is a big problem.

Even if the port cities are close to the sea, the natural resources at sea and the economic benefits brought by maritime trade can not only make life easier for the people, but also drive the local "chicken fart".

But for a place like Winterfell that is not near the sea and has a relatively poor geographical location, increasing the population is not something that can be done if you want to.

Fortunately, Liu Ruian was not stupid enough to mess around regardless of it, and while vigorously promoting the policy of having more children, he did not forget to provide corresponding "subsidies".

In addition to a maternity subsidy for each child born, there will also be a corresponding subsidy for each child who grows up to a certain age.

These subsidy policies, which have many names, will continue until the day the child reaches adulthood, that is, the sixteenth birthday.

This means that the problem of raising children, which would have been a heavy burden for a family, has been directly solved by this subsidy policy.

Even, once you have enough children, not only can you save all the money for raising children, but you can also make a lot of money.

Liu Rui'an's policy invisibly brought a new profession to the Westeros continent in the future, a fertility professional.

Of course, the subsidy policy is very good, but!

If someone tries to use this policy to cheat the money and materials of the subsidy, the end will be quite miserable.

Not only the maternity subsidy, but all the generous new policies are also corresponding to more severe punishments.

Robert Baratheon, as the king of the Seven Kingdoms, also expressed doubts and puzzlements about this approach.

In his opinion, those ant-like people are not eligible for these generous new deals.

But Liu Rui'an's answer was very straightforward, with the harsh law, he could indeed be fine in a short period of time.

But as long as you encounter a little "Mars", Qin Shi Huang Yingzheng is an example! (To be continued.) )
