After the meal, Song Che stopped by to go to the Qianzhuang branch. Among the many semicolons in the south of the Yangtze River, the most gold-absorbing is the Jinling family, after all, it is opened at the foot of the Son of Heaven, and Boss Song is famous, and everyone is willing to deposit gold and silver here.

In the management of the bank, Shen Wenjun and the semicolon shopkeeper are usually in charge, Song Che has never asked too much, and the role he plays is equivalent to

"Chairman", unless something big happens to the Chamber of Commerce, he will come forward to make decisions on the strategic layout of the future business.

The shopkeeper of the Jinling branch is called Jiang Ming, who has been by his side since his father-in-law was in business, and he is sleek, sophisticated and shrewd, and everyone affectionately calls him a voice

"Old Chiang". Song Che just came to the door of Qianzhuang, and saw a Confucian in Tsing Yi, carrying a cloth bag, hurriedly ran out of Qianzhuang, and Song Che came to a shoulder to shoulder, for a scholar, this is obviously a little impolite, but he did not apologize, did not even look at Song Che, bowed his head and hurried again.

"It can't be that he stole the silver, or I'm going to get him back?" Nangong Yue asked. The security personnel of the world's money banks are all equipped with muskets, and they have never heard of robbery since the opening of the bank.

What's more, he is just a weak scholar. Song Che shook his head,

"No need, maybe people are in a hurry." Then he walked into the bank.

"Big boss, are you here?" The semicolon shopkeeper Lao Jiang and several bookkeepers hurriedly stepped forward to greet each other. Song Che was going to the Western Regions to pass through Jinling, and they knew it in advance.

"Lao Jiang, just now I saw a Confucian student, holding a bag of silver and running out in a hurry, look at the size of the bag, I'm afraid there is a lot of silver, how is that?" Song Che asked curiously.

Lao Jiang said: "That person's surname is Cao, and he is a candidate from Jinghu, and he borrowed three hundred taels of silver from us...... As you know, those who can enter Beijing to participate in the palace examination are all local leading scholars, and their family backgrounds are good. ”

"Didn't he say anything?" Song Che asked again.

"It is said that I came to borrow money for emergency relief because I lost it," Lao Jiang asked again, "What?" Does the proprietor think the money was borrowed inappropriately? Song Che shook his head, as long as the reputation is enough and the family background is innocent, there is nothing strange about borrowing money.

It's just that three hundred taels of silver is really a lot, these candidates who are qualified to enter the Beijing Provincial Examination, in other words, are likely to become high-ranking officials in the future, many inns are very preferential for their accommodation and food, and even like Su Yunzhai, excellent students directly free board and lodging, and only then that Confucian student, borrow three hundred taels of silver in one breath as a coil?

Song Che always felt that there was too much, and looking at his panicked appearance, it was obvious that he had encountered something urgent.

Alas...... Song Che sighed in his heart, maybe he had been in the mall for too long, and everything would complicate it.

As a money banker, I naturally hope that the more money our guests borrow, the better.

"Actually, it is also possible to borrow a door bag and money." At this time, a slightly younger bookkeeper said.

"Shut up!" Lao Jiang hurriedly reprimanded: "Where can you talk nonsense about this kind of thing, we are doing business, and we can't get involved in the slightest official business!" ”

"The shopkeeper taught ...... lesson," Mr. Bookkeeper bowed his head and did not dare to say more. The door bag, as the name suggests, is a red envelope for the gatekeeper; Example money is money that should be given according to the convention.

It's all hidden

"Bribe" means. The imperial examination and bribery seem to be really inseparable. The children of some high-ranking officials and nobles, in order to be able to ascend to the dynasty and enter the office, often bribed the imperial examination examiners.

For example, Liu Xingnan was supposed to be Xie Yuan, but he was impersonated by Wang Zhipeng, which is a living example.

Song Che pulled Lao Jiang and the bookkeeper to the side hall and said: "The silver from our money village cannot be used as a bribe, you are good to tell me why you think that Confucian is like a door bag and money." Only then did the bookkeeper say: "Back to the east, I have a distant cousin who can't beat the eight poles, and this year he is also fortunate to come to Jinling to participate in the provincial examination, these things are a few days ago when I had dinner with him, I was greedy for a few more glasses of wine, and I happened to hear him talk about it - he said that this year's imperial examination is different from previous years, the official position of the new dynasty is vacant, and this year there are more opportunities to get scholars, and the opportunity to become an official is also greater; There are more than 8,000 students in the Beijing Provincial Examination this time, and 300 people will be admitted to the Shike alone, and once admitted, there is a high probability that they will be able to enter the department, so they are all thinking about improving the chances of being admitted; As everyone knows, the provincial examination is presided over by the Ministry of Rites, if you can buy the main examination, deputy examination, tribute, Taiwan admonition and other officials, you can greatly improve the chances of admission, so that there is an unwritten rule of "door bag" and "example money"; there are many candidates from poor families, in order to win fame, but there is no money to give gifts, so they can only borrow money from our bank. ”

"No wonder!" Lao Jiang suddenly realized,

"I said how come recently, many candidates have come to borrow money, it turns out that bribery is rampant! If I had known that they had borrowed money to bribe people, I would never have given them money! "Cheating is not human, it is fair to those who want to rely on their own efforts to change their fate.

If Liao Heng knew about these things, he was afraid that his lungs would explode.

"Lao Jiang, from now on, you are not allowed to lend money to these Confucian students. Also, don't spread these things out and rot them in your stomach, understand? Song Che commanded.

"Boss, put a hundred hearts, I have been in business for so many years, and I have never knocked out a tooth." Lao Jiang patted his chest and reassured, and Mr. Bookkeeper also nodded again and again.

Song Che took a turn in the money village again, and roughly flipped through the accounts and flowing water, Lao Jiang deserves to be an old Jianghu, all aspects, all aspects, the money village was handed over to him to take care of, Song Che can indeed put a hundred hearts.

After leaving the bank, Song Che went back to the dock again, packed the items given to Lingzhi and them, and sailed to the Prime Minister's Mansion.

……

"This, it's called 'diaper', it is clamped on the baby's buttocks on weekdays, and it is easy to solve any internal urgency; this is called 'milk stick', when the baby eats his hands and drools, he will give it a chew, delicious, nutritious and healthy......;

"He Lingfeng". He Qiu is worthy of being the former champion, and the name is Sa Shuang, on the other hand, in Song Che's family, the eldest son is called Song Qi, the eldest daughter is called Song Lian, and the second son is called Song Yu, and the names all feel mediocre.

In addition to the things for small babies, cloth, ready-to-wear, private rooms, tea, pearl white jade paste and other Jiangnan specialties for adults are packed in two large boxes.

Lingzhi blushed and sighed: "It's really good to have a rich mother's family!" ”
