The bank got off to a good start, and the Tianxia commercial banks on the side also made a lot of money. Because it is next door to the bank, many people go to the Tianxia Commercial Bank after coming out of the bank, and the carriage does not hire much, after all, everyone did not know that there was this business before, and they all brought their own carriages. But the white paper sold a lot, and the four of Hua'an were happy enough.

When he saw the white paper sold in one day, the amount reached 50,000 yuan, Su Shi couldn't help but sigh, Da Song was really rich.

This is still the news has not been completely spread, if all of it is spread, I am afraid that the sales will only increase.

The head office opened, followed by the opening of 11 branches one after another, that is, in more than half a month, 12 branches in Bianliang City opened one after another and began to open.

The bank's affairs are stable, followed by the next lending business, and Zhou Quan finally found a professional, who was dug up at a high price from a money bank engaged in Jiaozi business.

Su Shi personally met this person named Yuan Xiaotou.

Not to mention, this person really has a big head and a thick neck. But he's not a big guy or a guy.

It's just because of his strong business ability that he became the manager of the Jiaozi business. This person seems to be naturally good at financial management, and is very familiar with the business of the bank, and has also suggested to the senior management of Jiaozi that Jiaozi transactions can not deduct the 1% handling fee, and only need to make a lot of money by lending money to others.

The biggest advantage of this is that you can run other money banks into yellow, and Jiaozi will be dominant in the future.

It's just a pity that few people can give up the benefits in hand, and this suggestion is naturally not accepted by others. Now that Huaxia Bank has set this precedent, Yuan Xiaotou was moved, and the two hit it off when they found him.

Su Shi wanted to see Yuan Xiaotou, in fact, he wanted to use the system function to see if this person was reliable, after all, once something happened in the banking business, it would lose a lot of money, although Su Shi didn't care very much, but he couldn't be calculated by others because of this.

When I saw Yuan Xiaotou, I didn't expect that the top of this person's head was not a piece of purple, nor was it blue, but a piece of red flame.

It turned out that this Yuan Xiaotou had heard about Su Shi very early and admired him very much, and now he was able to do things under Su Shi, so he was naturally happy and excited, which directly showed his loyalty in his heart.

There was nothing to doubt about the red on his head, Su Shi immediately appointed him as the chief steward of Huaxia Bank, and Zhou Quan was liberated because of this, and returned to Su Mansion as a big housekeeper.

The bank is on the right track, and there are people who come to deposit money every day, and Huaxia Bank's bank notes have become the hottest bank notes today, seizing a large number of markets before Jiaozi. As for the other small banks, they were directly closed by the run.

The financial resources are not as good as the people, the system is not as good as the people, and the reputation is not as good as the people, and the rest of the money banks are closed sooner or later. It's just that Huaxia Bank really wants to replace Jiaozi and become the most popular money bank, and there is still a long way to go.

Taking root in Bianliang City is only the first step, getting everyone's recognition can only be regarded as the second step, going out is the third step, and really establishing branches in every large city in the Great Song Dynasty, and finally all over the Great Song Dynasty, this is the last step.

Once that day comes, Su Shi believes that his influence will be unmatched by few people. Even if you do something wrong at that time, if others want to move you, you have to think about the consequences.

......

The Imperial Palace's Purple Palace.

Chen Lin was standing cautiously on the side, not daring to raise his head.

Zhang Mao on the other side was not much better, and he didn't dare to look at it with his head down, not knowing what he was thinking.

On the dragon chair, Zhao Zhen was looking at the book in front of him, and he also did not speak. But he didn't keep his head down, but would raise his head from time to time, and then he would open his eyes for a while, and he would be reading a book, and then he would close his eyes, as if he was closing his eyes and recuperating, as if he was thinking about something.

The book was written by Zhang Jian, the envoy of the Liao State, and the words were rarely polite, and what was written in the book was full of requests, and the posture was very low.

Since the establishment of the Great Song Dynasty, the envoys sent by the Liao State to the Great Song Dynasty have been forty if not fifty, but there has never been a polite one like Zhang Jian.

This is just an illusion, and it is impossible for the Liao State to bow to the Great Song Dynasty, and Zhao Zhen certainly understands this. But there is still the existence of this recital, and all of this is because of Su Shi.

According to Chen Lin's statement, the people of the secret spy department played, and yesterday, Zhang Jian took the initiative to go to Su Mansion and meet Su Shi.

After more than an hour, he left the Su Mansion, and then there was this request in front of him, asking Renzong Zhao Zhen to agree, and in the future, the Liao State would buy silk cloth, burning knives, Ren tea, cigarettes and other things from the Great Song Dynasty.

The book also said that Zhang Jian had already agreed with Su Shaofu that he would buy a batch of goods for them separately when he purchased them next time. Now I just wait for the Great Song Emperor to say yes.

In order to thank Emperor Renzong, the Liao State was willing to reduce the previous annual tribute again, from the original 200,000 horses of silk and 100,000 taels of silver to 100,000 horses of silk and 50,000 taels of silver.

This is equivalent to half of the amount of life and birth.

In fact, no one cares about the number, this represents more of a signal, that is, the Liao State is no longer as strong as it used to be in the Great Song Dynasty, and the two sides are gradually about to be on an equal footing.

Although many Song people considered themselves equal to Liao, they even far surpassed Liao in many aspects. But only the top management of the Great Song Dynasty knew, and this was not the case.

For example, if the Liao State is unhappy, it can tear up the agreement at any time, send troops to the Great Song Dynasty, and carry out various so-called fraudulent activities.

On the contrary, the Song people were unhappy, and they would never dare to send troops to Liao easily.

With this, Song Liao is actually not at the same level, and when he is talking, he naturally divides the strong and the weak, the active and the passive.

Of course, this is good news, but Zhao Zhen seems to be a little unhappy, because all this is not won by his efforts, everything is the credit of Su Shi.

On the other side of Zhao Zhen, there is also a music book, which is played by Su Shi.

It describes in detail the process of Zhang Jian coming to the mansion to find him, as well as the results of the discussion between the two parties.

According to Su Shi's statement, Zhang Jian is very optimistic about Huaxia Bank, and sincerely invites Su Shi to open the bank to Liaoguo, and he will fully support and launch a relationship to escort it. But Su Shi sternly refused.

Are you kidding?

Opening the bank to Liaoguo is not equivalent to bringing fat meat to other tables, and it is impossible to make Liaoguo not eat.

Maybe not at first, after all, it's too thin and there is no meat. But once fattened, it means that if you eat you, you will eat you, and there will be no politeness.

Su Shi will not make this kind of fat to others and lose his own actions. Maybe one day, he will open Huaxia Bank to Northland, but at that time, Northland must be from the Great Song Dynasty, not from Liao.

After rejecting Zhang Jian's request to open the bank, the other party retreated and wanted to buy silk cloth, burning knives and other things, and was willing to buy it with twice the price higher than the Great Song Dynasty. Instead, the matter is so big that it needs to be reported to the official family and approved by the official family before it can be suspended.

Zhang Jian agrees with this very much, and this is the letter that Zhao Zhen saw today.

Su Shi's recital also stated that even if they sold the goods to the Liao State, they would only take them back to their own country to sell, and would not disrupt the market of the Great Song Dynasty. With twice the price, Su Shi can naturally earn a lot, but at the same time, Zhao Zhen's own internal funds and the treasury of the Great Song Dynasty will also earn a lot more.

Su Shi believes that this will definitely touch Zhao Zhen's heart. But he still told the official family with a very low posture that whether he wanted to sell goods to Liao State or not, everything had to be instructed by the officials.

Zhao Zhen said okay, he will sell, he will pay more taxes and become rich in the Song Dynasty.

Zhao Zhen said no, he wouldn't sell it, and he wouldn't make money if he had money.

At the end of the book, Su Shi also said that Zhang Jianxin is very sincere, if His Majesty is ready to agree, then he can take this opportunity to open his mouth, and he must not miss such a good opportunity.

I have read the book more than once, and Zhao Zhen sighed in his heart, but also felt a little sad. That is, Su Shi is too good, but it is useless to set off other courtiers.

The first to be unlucky were Zhang Maoze and Chen Lin, who let them stand by Zhao Zhen's side at this time?

Just now, Zhao Zhen pointed at the two and scolded them, scolding them for being useless people who have lived for so many years, they are not as good as a sixteen-year-old boy, and they are not as good as Su Shi who can be their grandchildren.

The master scolded himself, it was the honor of the slave, Chen Lin and Zhang Mao would not have any resistance, but bowed their heads vigorously and admitted their mistakes, and there was the atmosphere in the hall just now.

"100,000 pieces of cloth, 50,000 taels of silver is still too much. In this way, go and call Honglu Shaoqing Jiang Gu. After feeling some emotion in his heart, Zhao Zhen finally decided to agree to this matter. He was also ready to follow Su Shi's suggestion and take the opportunity to make more demands to the Liao envoy.

It didn't take long for Jiang Gu to leave the palace in a hurry, and Honglu Temple quickly sent someone to summon Zhang Jian to discuss the matter.

After a long battle of words between the two sides, the two sides finally agreed that the tribute coin was changed from the original 200,000 pieces of cloth and 100,000 silver to 10,000 pieces of cloth and 10,000 silver.

In other words, Zhang Jian made a lot of concessions in this matter, and in the end, although he did not completely remove the matter of paying tribute, he only symbolically received a little, indicating the fact that the Liao State was still stronger than the Great Song Dynasty.

Jiang Gu happily returned to the palace, and when he reported to Zhao Zhen, he was also asking for credit for himself.

Some people died, but not completely......
