Chapter 202: Opening of the Bank (Part 2)



Even if the public acceptance is low, it is accepted by the government and border areas. What do they have to be afraid of?

On the eighteenth day of the winter month, as soon as the money shop opened, Li Jingye rushed to the money shop early in the morning to handle business. Although Wang Zheng exempted him from two years of rent, the initial investment was also large, and he spent money like water. A horse-drawn carriage could only carry a few hundred strings of cash, and transportation money was a big problem.

A few days ago, Li Jingye had come in person to look at the rules of the money shop. Amounts below 10,000 strings of cash could be directly exchanged for banknotes, while amounts above 10,000 strings of cash could be exchanged for large-denomination bills of exchange.

All you have to do is take the people from the money house to your own treasure house to take over, and then you can directly use paper money and large-denomination bills for transactions. It's very convenient.

As for the safety issue, Li Jingye was not worried at all. Not to mention that most of his money was earned from running businesses in Yuzhou, even if the money was all ancestral inheritance, Li Jingye would not be afraid. If something went wrong with the bank, causing problems with the money he deposited there, he would just throw a tantrum and refuse to pay the ten-year rent for the reservoir.

Li Jingye arrived early, but there were many more people who arrived earlier than him. The shop opened at the end of Chenshi, and at the beginning of Chenshi, there were already queues at the hundred windows.

Li Jingye took a look and found that there were not many ordinary people in the queue. Most of them were small businessmen with their subordinates. Ordinary people were just watching the fun from the side.

One hundred thousand soldiers may sound like a lot, but if they are spread across a thousand large reservoirs, we are still a little short of manpower. If we don’t make some money back quickly, we may have to borrow money from the bank in the future.”

"Liu Zheng?" Li Jingye looked at the young man in front of him carefully and asked uncertainly.

Bai Zheng is the glory of Yuzhou, but also the pain in the heart of Yuzhou. Liu Zheng changed the subject and asked, "Is Li Biejia here to deposit a large sum of money in the bank?"

"No need to knock, Li Biejia, just go in."

Li Jingye looked at Liu Zheng again and said with a smile: "You have indeed changed a lot, but your outline is still familiar. After all, Bai Zheng is such an outstanding person, Li still remembers him clearly."

Li Jingye nodded and said, "The big reservoir is about to be reclaimed, and money is flowing like water. It is indeed necessary to deposit money into a bank. This will be much more convenient. However, judging from the situation, I am afraid that today's trip will be in vain. Haha, I didn't expect that there are so many people with a fortune in recent years."

"Inside the hall is a room for wealthy families with deposits of over 10,000 guan. In fact, there are also small rooms with deposits of over 100,000 guan. It is not too crowded now. If Li Biejia has deposits of over 1 million guan, there will be special people to receive him. So, Li Biejia, feel free to go in."

Just like the open bidding for building a large reservoir, not a single winner was from aristocratic family. After all, they are of the same bloodline and have similar ideas, so they naturally know what the steward wants.

But that is no longer the case. Brass coins are constantly circulating out of the palace, causing bronze coins to depreciate sharply. Ten of some severely rusted bronze coins may not be exchanged for one brass coin.

Li Jingye looked at the crowded crowd in the hall and couldn't help but sigh. Although Chang'an City was prosperous more than ten years ago, except for a few major families, some top dignitaries, and government officials, there were few transactions of more than a thousand strings of cash at a time.

Come to think of it, even if ordinary people want to earn interest on the little money they have, there is no need to rush. However, it is necessary for small businessmen to exchange some banknotes to facilitate larger daily transactions.

In the past, people emphasized not showing off one’s wealth, but now the tide has come. If you don’t hurry up and put your money into circulation, it will only grow bigger and bigger. If you continue to hide it, it will not only not produce anything, but will also continue to depreciate in value.”

Liu Zheng smiled and said, "Smelting has been practiced in every dynasty. Over the years, we have accumulated countless copper coins. Although there has been some loss, it is not a big loss.

Li Jingye shook his head and frowned, "I can't wait. Although it's snowing now, we can still do something. If we do more this year, we will have more time to open up new land next year.

"hehe"

Li Jingye looked into the equally crowded hall for a while. Just as he was hesitating, a student in plain clothes came over, bowed and said with a smile: "Li Beijia, I haven't seen you for many years. How are you doing?"

Seeing the huge crowd, the guards persuaded Li Jingye, "My dear, there are too many people here. Should we come back in a few days?"

After thanking Liu Zheng, Li Jingye and his guards walked into the hall, where there were many Yuzhou students maintaining order. Li Jingye randomly found a student in plain clothes and told him about his deposit amount and identity.

Now ten years have passed, and the entire Tang Dynasty has become prosperous. It is common to see transactions worth millions of taels of gold. I wonder where all this money comes from?

The student in Suyi looked at Li Jingye in surprise, and then took Li Jingye directly to the innermost room.

Moreover, in the past, the aristocratic families collected and stored bronze coins, which led to a shortage of bronze coins in circulation. The aristocratic families could use this to control prices. When supplies were abundant, the aristocratic families could purchase a large amount of supplies with a small amount of bronze coins. When supplies were scarce, the aristocratic families would recycle a large amount of bronze coins.

Li Jingye thought about it for a moment and understood what Liu Zheng meant. The saying "don't show off your wealth" is actually to guard against the emperor. Now that the emperor is obviously not short of money, it doesn't matter much if he shows off some of his wealth.

Liu Zheng nodded and smiled, "It's me. I didn't expect that Li Biejia could still recognize Xiaoke after not seeing him for several years."

A thousand large reservoirs is a great opportunity, but if they are not managed well, they can also become a disaster. If Li Jingye had not stayed in Yuzhou for several years and was familiar with the ins and outs of operating large reservoirs there, he would not have dared to take over so many large reservoirs.

The student in plain clothes left immediately after he finished speaking. Although Li Jingye was a little confused, he still pushed open the door of the room with the sign of "General Manager" hanging on it.

After opening the door, Li Jingye saw a man sitting behind a desk with his back to the door, looking at a painting on the wall that said "Great Ambition". Wu Yi was standing beside him, whispering something.

Although the face of the person sitting there was not seen, from the figure behind him, the posture of Wu Yi next to him, and the wooden stick placed on the side, it was clear that the person sitting there must be Wang Zheng.

I didn't expect that just by saving money, I could be personally received by Wang Zheng. Now it's not so easy to meet Wang Zheng.

Li Jingye stepped forward, bowed and said, "Li Jingye greets the chief steward."
