Chapter 500: The Five Great Banks

(500 chapters, commemorate it!) )

Qinjin City, which is approaching the New Year, is still relatively warm, and the streets are already crowded with people early in the morning.

With the hustle and bustle of the crowd, a gate on Ziyi Road opened in a squeak, and an old lady and an old man came out of it, which were Li Biao's parents.

"The old man bought New Year's goods and came back early!" Li Biao's mother, Wang, waved her hand to Li Muzhi and said, "I would have asked you to buy it back earlier, if you didn't buy it, you had to wait for your sons to come back together before buying it, but now they are all late!" Hurry up and don't delay! ”

Li Muzhi took a Baekje maid and walked out, and said angrily: "Oh, I know the old woman, the market is not far from us, I will buy it all in the afternoon and come back, don't wait for me to eat at noon!" I'll just eat with Lao Zhang over there! ”

Walking out of his small courtyard, Li Muzhi rubbed his hands, and then tightened the leather clothes on his body, in fact, Qin Jin is not cold here, there is no need to wear this leather clothes at all.

But this is his eldest son Li Biao bought for himself when he passed by Jiangkou, it is said that it is made of good mink fur, not to mention cold on the body, not even snowflakes, Li Muzhi wears this leather coat not to keep out the cold, but to show others.

Li Muzhi's heart is beautiful, his life in Qinjin County over the years is like living in a fairyland, although he is still very dissatisfied with Wang Ze's lack of attention to Confucianism, but he has some doubts about the good life that Wang Ze has created now.

Isn't this what the sages called the Great Harmony Society? Isn't it possible to do this only by adopting the rituals of saints? Why did His Majesty pay more attention to Momen's things, and as a result, he created such a society? Could it be that all your previous knowledge has been learned in vain?

Li Muzhi's psychology is such a doubt, as an old scholar, Xia Guo's things are too contradictory to the knowledge he has learned, but now that the New Year is coming soon, the most important thing is to buy New Year's goods, and the sage's knowledge is not worth eating!

Thinking in his heart, Li Muzhi led a little donkey, humming a little song and walking in front, the young Baekje maidservant girl followed him honestly, as the first batch of immigrants who lived in Qinjin City for the longest time, Li Muzhi knew a lot of acquaintances, and people kept greeting him along the way.

After Li Biao successfully became the commander of the first brigade of the Blue Wolf Army, this year he became the official to the post of General Yangwu, and basically entered the level of a senior general in the Xia Kingdom, so Li Muzhi, as Li Biao's father, has become the object of envy of many people.

What's more, now His Majesty has even promised that the generals can also tear the soil and seal the marquis, of course, a senior general like Li Biao has the possibility of becoming the lord of a country, so Li Muzhi's status in the future may be higher, and some people even have a stammering meaning when talking to Li Muzhi.

"Alas, old Wu, what are you doing in front?"

Li Muzhi met an acquaintance again, but saw a square not far from the port in front of him crowded with people, it turned out to be a newly opened store, but what kind of store would be so popular?

The man known as Lao Wu smiled and said, "Brother Li, you don't know yet, it's the Donghai Bank established by our Donghai Commercial Bank!" ”

"Tokai Bank?" Li Muzhi said suspiciously, "It sounds like it has something to do with money, could it be that the money bank founded by the Donghai Commercial Bank is not successful?" But when did the money bank have such a good business? ”

Lao Wu laughed and said: "Not only that, although this bank is also similar to the bank, but not only does it not charge custody fees, but it even has a certain amount of interest, although this interest is really a little less, but it is much safer than the bank!" ”

Li Muzhi also laughed and said: "If the East China Sea Commercial Bank is opened, of course, it will be much safer than the ordinary money bank, this Iwami Silver Mountain and Hidden Kirishima Jinshan are all under the management of the East China Sea Commercial Bank, and this is the earliest commercial bank founded by His Majesty, they have a lot of money!" ”

Saying that, the two separated, and the more Li Muzhi looked at it, the more itchy it became, so he threw the donkey to the Baekje maidservant and said, "You wait here for a while, I'll go to the Donghai Bank to have a look!" Saying that, Li Muzhi didn't care about the Baekje girl saying that the Wang family was to blame, so he ran over.

Looking at the crowd in front of Donghai Bank, in fact, most of them are guards brought by some businessmen, after all, people who do business will have a sense of insecurity, even if Donghai Bank is equipped with guards in front of it, they will still bring some of their own subordinates.

Li Muzhi soon came to the storefront, the scene in front of him made him hesitate, the indoor floor is a water of Nanyang mahogany paved floor, it looks like people will slip when they step on it, and the exterior wall of the store is pasted with exquisite colorful glazed bricks.

And what made the gate turned out to be two large pieces of thick transparent glass, just looking at this gate, it made Li Muzhi tremble for a while, this is so fucking rich! Last time, Da Biao bought a set of tea sets and spent a lot of money, how much should such a big glass door cost!

"Do you need anything, old gentleman?" A beautiful woman about twenty years old walked in front of Li Muzhi, who was looking around, and she saw that the clothes on Li Muzhi's body were not ordinary goods, and Li Muzhi himself was used to reading poetry and books, and his temperament was different from ordinary people.

Before Wang Ze founded the country, the women of Xia Kingdom had already given full play to their roles in production and life, so even Li Muzhi, who was not used to it at first, had already lost any dissatisfaction at this time, and he had already gotten used to it over the years.

He glanced at the beautiful woman in uniform and smiled: "I just heard that our Donghai Commercial Bank has opened a bank, so I came to take a look!" Nothing else is in demand! ”

Li Muzhi originally thought that if he said this, the young woman would definitely leave, but the woman smiled instead: "Since the old gentleman has come to take a look, I will tell you carefully, our Donghai Bank is the first day of business today, but behind us is the powerful Donghai Commercial Bank, so there will definitely be no problems!"

Here is a silver coin deposit, if you deposit silver money can also get a certain amount of interest according to the term, current, in addition, our Donghai Bank in Zhenhai City, Liaodong City, Jiangzhou City, Jiangkou City, Qinjin local, Pingyang City, Yizhou, Luhan, Xingzhou have opened branches, you deposit in Qinjin, you can also withdraw in other places! ”

"Isn't it true that some people just need to save money here, and then they can take a boat directly to Zhenhai and then take out the money?" Li Muzhi's eyes widened.

"Of course!" The young woman smiled, "So as soon as we launched this business, it was very popular with everyone, after all, it is too dangerous to carry so much cash and silver!" ”

Li Muzhi nodded with deep feelings, in the past, he once went out with twenty yuan of silver, but he didn't get a good night's sleep along the way, and now with such a bank, he only needs to deposit it in the bank, and then he can take it out at the destination.

However, he still questioned: "But you only have so many branch banks, if I want to withdraw money in Changzhou County, I have to go to Qinjin County!" ”

"I'm not afraid of this!" The young woman comforted, "Sir, there is also a branch of the Northern Bank in Changzhou, and we also have business cooperation with them, as well as the Nanyang Bank and the Salt Industry Bank, so you can withdraw money from each other no matter where you deposit your money!" ”

Seeing that Li Muzhi didn't speak, she added: "It's just that the only disadvantage is that the handling fee charged for inter-bank withdrawals is higher, but it won't be too high!" ”

After dividing the ten vassal states, Wang Ze presided over the establishment of the Central Bank, Nanyang Bank, Donghai Bank, Northern Bank, and Yanye Bank, a financial system composed of five major banks, which could not only provide assistance for the increasingly prosperous economy of the Xia Kingdom, but also make it easier for Wang Ze to secretly control the economy of the Xia Kingdom.

Under a series of introductions by the young woman, Li Muzhi was said to be really itching, and he really wanted to try a series of processes in this bank, so he soon took out a gold coin and five silver coins on his body, and then shouted: "Save money!" ”

The savings business is also a young and beautiful woman, it seems that this Donghai Bank is very good at using young and beautiful women to attract popularity, and these young women have a good temper, and they do not have the domineering spirit of the women of the Xia Kingdom 'East China Sea Female Tiger'.

In Li Muzhi's secret slander, the young woman quickly completed all the formalities for him, so Li Muzhi had another exquisite and abnormal card in his hand, and the woman said that this was his passbook, which was a voucher for future deposits and withdrawals.

Li Muzhi always felt a little uneasy in his heart, he always felt that he had changed such a card with golden gold and white silver, although he also knew that the bank founded by Donghai Commercial Bank would definitely not deceive people, but this feeling was really bad.

Fortunately, the young woman soon discovered Li Muzhi's abnormality, and they didn't know how many similar things they had dealt with, so they said to Li Muzhi: "Old man, as a depositor of Donghai Bank on the first day, you can visit our vault!" ”

Under the leadership of the woman, Li Muzhi passed through the steel gates, and finally came to the underground several feet, which was a huge basement that had been excavated, and the basement was lit with fine whale oil candles and a trace of fragrance.

But what surprised Li Muzhi the most was that in the huge basement, there was a hill that was all piled up with gold, which was three zhang long and more than one zhang high, which had too great an impact on Li Muzhi!

After seeing the vault of Donghai Bank, Li Muzhi was finally relieved, with so much gold, what are you afraid of?

So he said goodbye to the young woman and walked out in peace, and when he found the Baekje maidservant, his friend Jang Rail was already waiting for him there.

And the Baekje maid was even more anxious, and she hurriedly said to Li Muzhi: "Old man, we have to hurry up and go shopping, otherwise today's good catch will be picked up!" ”

Li Muzhi was in a good mood: "Let's go, this Donghai Bank is really rich!" ”

But without two steps, Li Muzhi suddenly shouted: "It's not good, I deposited all the money in the bank!" ”

As he spoke, he turned around and ran to the bank!
