After Li Zhaochang paid the deposit, he made an appointment to come over tomorrow morning to get his clothes, and took his son along the east-west avenue and walked a few hundred steps east to his shop.

In front of Li Zisheng, what he saw in front of him was not the typical street-facing shop he saw earlier, but an elegant small house with a single courtyard. It's also this young man who is simple-minded, otherwise he would really think that this is his father's "outer house" in the city.

Entering the translucent double doors with black paint, there is a small courtyard. There are a few bamboos planted on both sides, and there are a few empty flower beds, if you wait until the spring flowers bloom, it must be just a purple and red.

In the courtyard stood the bookkeeper and four men, who had come to meet their proprietor. Wei's account room is Li Zhaochang's brother and Li Zisheng's uncle - Li Yizhuo, two of the guys behind are also Li family relatives who came with the father and son, and the other two are Li Da Dart's subordinates.

Only then did the young man notice that in addition to the fact that Uncle Wei's account looked a little weaker, the four people behind him were all strong and powerful, with two temples bulging high, and at first glance they were Xiao Zhou Tianwu.

After entering the main hall and looking at the furnishings inside, Li Zisheng still couldn't confirm that this was a "shop".

Calligraphy and paintings are hung on all four walls, and the furniture is made of rosewood. There is also a large incense burner in the middle, with white smoke wafting in the middle, making the room warm and fragrant.

In the middle of the hall hangs a gilt plaque with the hall number written on it, and three big characters are written on it: Yishun Hall. There is also a couplet on both sides, the upper couplet is, open up the financial road, and the tip is not a pity. The next link is, skillfully open up the treasury, and worry about it.

This is the real shop of Lai Chiu Cheong - Yishun Tong. But it turned out that the real business of the boy's father was ...... "finance company".

In the last book, it was mentioned that Tiantongmen's bank vouchers - food stamps. Seeing the history of Tiantongmen, others don't have some other thoughts, so they really underestimate the human beings in this world. Naturally, there are also people who follow the example of their own credit notes.

Therefore, there are also their own circulating bank bills in Jingnan, which are the "hall tickets" of the Jingnan Grain Association. Because the Jingnan Grain Association was formed by the union of economic groups that are not subordinate to each other, it has never been a joint-stock enterprise like Tiantongmen. Therefore, each ministry can issue bills of different denominations, each with its own hall number, so it is called a hall ticket.

However, unlike Tiantongmen, which directly faced the big merchants and the Xianmen, they took the bottom route. The difference between a hall stamp and a food stamp is the face value. The minimum denomination of the grain stamps is one yuan stone, while the Tang stamps are small amounts of 1/10,000 of the denomination of the grain stamps, which are aimed at the small people in the market and the peasants in the countryside.

It can be said that if Tiantongmen is a bank, then Jingnan Grain Association can be regarded as a cooperative credit cooperative.

Therefore, their main financial business is microfinance, and to put it bluntly, it is private usury. This is because Tianqimen and their divisions, such as Tieshan City, have driven the entire industrial production and service industries in Jingzhou, and these small and medium-sized business owners need capital investment, and Tiantongmen does not look down on and has no energy to take care of these businesses. As a result, "credit cooperatives" like the Jingnan Grain Association filled this gap.

When Boss Li was dart, he took over a lot of private work to collect debts by force. Later, he was shrewd, and now as long as he has grain reserves and deposits them in the public treasury of the Grain Association, and then reports to the Jingnan Grain Association, he can make his own hall tickets, and then use these hall bills to lend money and collect interest.

So he didn't stop doing two things and established Yishun Church. He not only used his own hall ticket to lend money, but also ate the IOUs in the hands of his peers at a low price, and used his force and the name of a disciple of the Heavenly Weapon Sect to recover the full amount of the debt.

In this way, within a few years, he was gone, and there is no need to personally participate in this "dirty work" until now. Now he "packs" a lot of debt collection business to his friend and brother-in-law, Wu Pingfang.

That's right, that's what dynamic social groups can do in an unregulated capitalist society. However, Boss Li is nothing compared to this Tieshan City Tie family. As mentioned earlier, this Tie family can dominate the Falling Star Lake, and the details inside are naturally inhumane, plus the "righteous act" of dispatching private soldiers to chase down the rice thieves at the beginning of the year......

They really have the demeanor of the railroad companies and industrial and mining owners of the beacon of democracy during the westward expansion period. For example, the former "buys" the farmer's land with a small investment, quick results, and large returns, while the latter uses quasi-professional soldiers, such as the famous Pinkerton detective agency, to suppress strikes with machine guns and armored vehicles.

Li Zisheng naturally didn't know these now, but he was taken into the backyard to wash off the dust, and after eating a hearty dinner, he was rushed to bed by his father and went to bed early to nourish his spirits.

Because, tomorrow they will go to Iron Mountain Academy to sign up. The college usually starts on the first day of February and lasts for one year. Registration for new students starts 10 days in advance and closes three days before the start of the semester.

Originally, this Iron Mountain Academy was the same as the clan school where the teenager stayed before, and it was an internal school that only accepted school-age children from the family. Later, as the power of the Tie family became larger and larger, there were more and more subordinate family members, so they also began to recruit children with side surnames.

The Tie Family of Tieshan City is the division of the Tie Family in the Three Great Families of Iron, Yan and Lian in the Tianqi Gate, which means that the children in the school are excellent and can go straight to the Tianqi Gate of the Eight Heavenly Gates. As soon as this opening was opened, Jingzhou didn't know how good and powerful it was to stuff the children of the clan in.

This iron family can become the pride of one party, and there are people in the clan who have active brains. They simply expanded the enrollment scale, for all school-age children, as long as the children who passed the congenital Xiao Zhoutian, they can enter the academy to study after paying a "certain" tuition fee.

There are no rules for the length of the school, as long as you pay the money, you can continue to study here. However, the average student leaves the college three years as early as five years late. If you have excellent cultivation qualifications or have talent in the outer path, you will naturally be able to enter the various immortal sects to take a step forward.

Back then, Li Zhaochang stayed in the academy for three years before he was selected into the Tianqi Sect as an outer disciple, and at the same time, the Li family, which had small assets, became destitute.

Early the next morning, the father and son went to Tianyi Store to pick up the clothes they made yesterday, Li Desheng put on new clothes, took a self-portrait in the mirror, and was a little surprised, and it was clear that he was a young man in front of him.

His father was naturally relieved, and he was not as painful as yesterday, and the money was worth it!

The two of them neither took a car nor a sedan chair, so they walked along the north-south street to the inner city where the Tie family's main house was located. And every house has a hemispherical light mask, which is supposed to be a magic circle that filters the air.

The father and son turned west and came to a house with blue bricks and black tiles near the shore of Falling Star Lake. The plaque on the top of this courtyard reads: Tieshan Academy.

The dark gate of the academy was closed, and only a side door was open next to it, and a carriage and horses were parked in front of the door. From time to time, you can see children in brocade clothes and jade ornaments who are the same year as Li Zisheng, led by elders who are also dressed luxuriously.

Li Yichang walked in with his son and came to a quiet room, where a clerk was already seated. Although this person is dressed as a writer, his face is not weak. When he saw the father and son enter the house, he stood up and hugged his fists to let the two sit at the table, and asked, "Your Excellency is very good, but you are here to register for this little boy's new school?"

Li Zhaochang nodded yes, so the secretary took the pulse of the young man, nodded and wrote a few words on a piece of paper. Then he asked about the names, occupations, places of residence, place of domination, etc., and when Li Zhaochang reported his name, the bookrier's face turned pale, he picked up a booklet from the side and opened it to look at it, and then stood up and made a gesture, and asked the father and son to stay for a moment with a very respectful expression. They will be personally received by the College Administrators.

They were ushered into the back room, and before they had a cup of tea, they heard the sound of footsteps outside the door, and the bookstore led the student office to walk in with a smile.

The adult in the school office is only in his early forties, with a short figure of five years, and a fat face of Yuan Tuantuan, which looks a little ridiculous. But when he opened his mouth, he had a loud voice that didn't match his figure, and he only heard him salute while stepping forward and saying, "Xiao Ke Zhou Cainan, Xi is here to learn to do it." I gave Mr. Li a salute. ”

Li Zhaochang had already stood up, and at this time he replied: "It turned out that Dean Zhou was in person, and it was really an honor for the dean to come in person. ”

Zhou Cainan hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Don't deserve, don't deserve." Xiao Ke has the master of the academy above, and I am just an errand and handyman, serving the teachers and students. However, Mr. Li acted bravely, and his feat of eliminating demons and subduing demons made Xiao Ke admire in his heart, and it was better to meet him when he saw it today!"

He turned to Li Zisheng again, looked at it with a smile on his face, and couldn't help nodding in appreciation: "This is the little hero of Li who slashed the thief." Sure enough, it is a tiger father without a dog, and I have to teach another talent in Tieshan Academy, and I am very happy, very happy. ”

Li Zhaochang thought in his heart, Hades is so difficult to see the little ghost. I heard that this Tie Family Leader is an elder of the clan who is a generation higher than the current patriarch of the Tie Family, and he doesn't care about it at all. This academy is not in charge of the person in front of you?

When the teenager stepped forward to greet the school officer, the two adults sat down to talk, and Li Zisheng stood behind his father to listen.

Zhou Xueban first made a self-criticism: "Yesterday, there was an order in the inner courtyard to send the admission notice directly to Mr. Station, but I didn't expect that the virtuous father and son would come to the door in person today." It's a little sloppiness, a sin and a sin. ”

Li Zhaochang took it seriously and said: "It's okay, it's okay, the master of the school office is serious, and he doesn't dare to be ashamed." Besides, if you don't have today's opportunity, how can you get acquainted with adults?" he turned his head to look at the sky outside the window and invited, "Seeing noon, I don't know if I have the honor to invite adults to have a light meal, so I can ask for benefits." ”

Sure enough, Zhou Cainan agreed: "How can you let Mr. break the bank? Naturally, it should be a small wine to apologize!"
