The back office of the county government.

Zhu Chengjun listened to Xu Xiao's report and instantly swept away the previous haze.

Now everyone is scrambling to deposit the silver into Huitong Gold Bank, and the first phase of the city's construction has finally been settled.

This interest is really a heavy burden, and it is more than four times the interest rate of bank deposits in later generations.

Zhu Chengjun let out a long sigh, if you really want to make money honestly, I don't know when you will be able to achieve financial freedom.

However, there are benefits to being indebted.

Thinking of those companies that are too big to fail, Zhu Chengjun smiled weirdly.

There is no stronger covenant than to bind the interests of all together.

Xu Xiao saw that he had nothing to do, so he bowed down and asked: "Big brother, why did they deposit a large amount of silver into Huitong Gold Bank?" If you take the money in your hand and use it for usury, the income will definitely be much higher than if you deposit it in Huitong Gold Bank. ”

The rolling interest of usury is definitely a burden that ordinary people cannot bear.

Zhu Chengjun was lying on the rocking chair with the back of his head in his hands, squinting his eyes and replied: "These people are very thieves, and they will definitely not do stupid things." It is true that the income of usury is much higher than the interest on deposits, but after all, there are not many groups of people who borrow usury, and they still have silver to deposit, which shows that the current market of usury is not good. Huitong Gold Bank has a government background and real estate that may be available in the future as a credit endorsement, so why not deposit money into Huitong Gold Bank with stable and guaranteed income. ”

You don't have to sell your dignity to lie down to earn an objective income, why take the risk of lending usury, although the usury has a good return, but the risk is not low, if you really meet a hard-core character, it is one thing to recover the principal or not.

"Big brother is right." Xu Xiao instantly understood, and then said: "The eldest brother is now a county magistrate, why not take the opportunity to crack down on the wicked people who lend usury, usury is definitely a harmful business." ”

Xu Xiao's emotions became more and more excited, and Zhu Chengjun could feel Xu Xiao's anger and strong hatred for the loan shark even if he closed his eyes, and asked casually: "The second brother was once a victim of loan sharking?" ”

"Don't hide it from the eldest brother, the younger brother's family borrowed a big bucket of grain, and the repayment method is similar to that of a loan shark, and my parents were forced to commit suicide because of this, and the younger brother beat people to death in a fit of anger, and embarked on the road of escape in order to avoid the government." The past is vivid, Xu Xiao clenched his fists, and his knuckles crackled. Xu Xiao knew that he was complaining too much, and he was afraid that he would spoil Zhu Chengjun's mood, and was about to change the topic when Shen Ze walked in.

Shen Ze looked ashamed, and hung his head to report: "My subordinates have a heavy trust, and they only received four million taels of deposits. ”

Zhu Chengjun got up and sat upright, and sighed lightly: "Four million taels, it's already very good." Zhu Chengjun asked casually: "There are so many people here, I think not all of them have given you and me face." ”

Shen Ze nodded and replied: "The group of guys who came to the door yesterday to solicit projects and ask for business did not care about themselves, and they also sang about the big urban construction project of the owner in private, which is really annoying!" ”

After all, blueprints are just beautiful visions, and few people who bet big bets for the future have that courage.

Zhu Chengjun smiled lightly, this was expected, and immediately, Zhu Chengjun's eyes flashed with a cold glint, and he instructed Shen Ze: "As soon as the money is in place, you immediately start to lay out the building materials industry, and I will smash the jobs of those bastards." ”

Shen Ze felt that Zhu Chengjun was going to be ruthless this time.

"Don't worry, the subordinates are the best at smashing people's jobs." Shen Zexin said: Let us not pay the difference to the owner? Shen Ze's pupils suddenly condensed, and his body instantly became a little more angry, since you are unkind first, don't blame me for being unrighteous later.

Zhu Chengjun saw that Shen Ze was even angrier than himself, and specially advised: "You must pay attention to proportion, and don't force people to a dead end with one hand." Driving the dog into the poor alley will inevitably force the dog to be anxious, and then, Zhu Chengjun added: "If they take excessive retaliatory measures, they will say otherwise, I don't mind being the county magistrate who raids the house." ”

"My subordinates understand." Shen Ze was so angry by that group of bastards that he remembered that there was still something serious, and reported: "The reason why there is such a big gap in the storage this time is mainly because those guys who cooperate with us in the salt business did not support the scene, and they proposed to meet the owner in person, and they were waiting in the side hall of the public court." ”

This group of guys is somewhat of picking up the bowl to eat and putting down the bowl to scold the mother, Zhu Chengjun thinks it's time to knock and beat.

Zhu Chengjun got up slowly and smiled at Shen Ze: "It seems that they don't give you face very much." ”

Shen Ze's face was a little unbearable, he was now the president of Huitong Gold Bank, which had a promising future, and asked for instructions: "Does the owner let them come to the Houya to meet, or ......?"

Since it's a side drum, let's use performance art.

Zhu Chengjun looked at Xu Xiao and ordered: "You can find a random official and invite them to the back office." ”

"Big brother, won't I go the same?" Xu Xiao did not immediately understand the intention of Zhu Chengjun's move.

Shen Ze instantly understood, knowing that the owner was going to beat these interest merchants, and immediately said to Xu Xiao: "Brother Xu is the sworn brother of the owner, if you go and invite someone in person, wouldn't it be too much to promote them." ”

"Uh...... Right...... Big Brother is now a person with status. ”

Xu Xiao suddenly had a feeling in his heart that the tide was rising.

Zhu Chengjun continued to lie on the rocking chair and pretend to sleep, and when everyone came to the back office, they still opened their 'sleepy eyes' under Shen Ze's call, pretending to be sorry for treating the distinguished guests, and got up and gave up: "I've been busy and tired lately, and I hope you don't blame." ”

Everyone is a human spirit who has been rolling in the business sea for many years, how can they not see that Zhu Chengjun is deliberately snubbing them, and he suddenly regrets it in his heart.

"Adults work hard for the well-being of the people in this county, and we are waiting to bother me."

Zhu Chengjun glanced at the reception hall of the back office, only to find that except for the main seat of the middle hall, there were two chairs, and the other chairs had been emptied, and there was no place to sit when the distinguished guests came to the door, which was a bit unreasonable.

Ignoring everyone's gaze, Zhu Chengjun came to the middle hall and sat down directly, raising his hand to signal Shen Ze to sit down as well.

Shen Ze knew that he couldn't lose the face of these people too much, so he waved his hand and refused politely, choosing to stand with everyone.

Zhu Chengjun glanced at everyone and said lightly: "Why are you here this time?" ”

Nothing did to go to the Three Treasures Palace, and Zhu Chengjun was obviously beaten silently before and after, and everyone was silent for a moment.

Everyone knows that they should behave at this time, otherwise the next conversation will definitely be led by the nose.

"Huitong Gold Bank is set up to revitalize the county's industry, which is really a blessing for the county's talents who are interested in business."

"We really can't bear to see Governor Shen too tired, so I didn't bother."

"I wish to deposit 110,000 taels of silver to Huitong Gold Bank to celebrate the opening ceremony."

"Below, save 90,000 taels of silver."

"Below, save eighty-five thousand taels."

…………

Everyone promised Shen Ze a deposit, and after a while, they raised more than 1 million taels of silver.

"Thank you for your trust in Huitong Gold Bank, and Shen is very grateful." When the words fell, Shen Ze bowed to everyone.

Zhu Chengjun saw that the start-up funds for the first phase of the project had been fully gathered, and he was happy to bow his head.

In order to deepen their sincerity, everyone said that they would not take any interest.

Zhu Chengjun knew that he should also express his feelings, so he looked at Shen Ze and said, "President Shen has opened a good business, congratulations." Smiling, Zhu Chengjun continued: "You have contributed a lot to the revitalization of this county, and you have made a great contribution. If you have any requirements, just mention them, as long as the official can do it, he will definitely do it well. ”

"Now that all industries are in a depression, everyone's life is not good, so I have the cheekiness to ask the adults to release the salt price limit order."

Zhu Chengjun believes that if there is no ban from the imperial court, the price of this essential commodity for people's livelihood is of course as low as possible.

"What's the big deal with me?" When everyone heard this, they instantly smiled, Zhu Chengjun deliberately paused, and then said: "The official can let go of the price of high-grade refined salt, and the salt with slightly worse quality will still maintain the original price." ”

"This ......" turned out to be not fully liberalized, and everyone was somewhat disappointed.

Salt is an official system, most of the salt seen on the market is of inferior quality, and ordinary people can't afford high-grade salt, so most of the salt circulating on the market is shoddy, and no one will care if you can't eat it. Good salt and crude salt are only slightly different in process, and there is no difficulty in making refined salt with the existing salt-making process, but no one dares to do it blatantly because of the ban of the imperial court.

Zhu Chengjun saw that everyone was still not satisfied, and his face sank, "This official is a county parent official, if ordinary people can't even eat salt, what kind of face do you let me continue to sit in this position." Seeing that everyone's attitude was relaxed, Zhu Chengjun motioned to the people at the back of the queue to cover the door tightly, and then said: "All the officials in this county are busy maintaining order in the grain store, the post of county lieutenant is vacant, and the county's public security committee is really worried. ”

Hearing the strings, everyone knew that Zhu Chengjun's move was tantamount to indulging in the sale of illicit salt and acquiescing in the sale of privately made salt. As long as the government officials crack down on the sale of smuggled salt and the production of smuggled salt at both ends in three days, everyone can let go of their hands and feet.

People's greed is like a tide, if it is not contained, it will be monstrous, there must be a warning, once the private salt is flooded, it will definitely not end well, Zhu Chengjun has a cold face, and said in a deep voice: "Life in the world, whether it is to be a person or to act, it is always a big mistake to be low-key and cautious, you think." ”

"My lord is right, I must be low-key, low-key, and low-key."

The ulterior matter has been negotiated, Zhu Chengjun ordered someone to open the skylight door, seeing that everyone still had no intention of retreating, Zhu Chengjun thought about it, and instantly realized that he dared to love these guys because he was worried about the market distribution after the completion of the new city.

Knowing what everyone thinks, Zhu Chengjun thinks that they should be given a reassurance, and promised: "This big urban construction project, with the concerted efforts of the whole county and your strong support, the official has a 100% grasp of the city before the end of this year, the market pattern at that time will definitely be different from the present, you are all meritorious men who built the city, this official is in mind, the salt market in the new city must have a place for you." ”

"Thank you, sir!"

…………

The purpose of this trip was achieved, and everyone thanked him.

After completing the distribution of benefits, Zhu Chengjun got up and walked out of the hall, and before going out, he turned around and gave everyone a stern warning: "You all give the official a little leisure, if it is difficult for the official, you have to be careful." ”

"Remember the teachings of your lords."

Under the gaze of Zhu Chengjun's stern eyes, everyone lowered their heads in unison.
