There is no more indignation when Li Chengqian first came, no more curses on the street after Li Chengqian came.
At this moment in Yangzhou City, the people no longer discuss the matter of Li Chengqian, and everyone in the world seems to have disappeared.
But anyone with a discerning eye can see that this is the calm before the storm.
Perhaps to the common people, money banks are just a newly emerging industry.
But for the aristocratic family, they knew very well what the imperial court's purpose was in establishing the bank.
Banks seem to be convenient enterprises, but in fact they are a way for the imperial court to control the world's money.
If all the wealth in the world were controlled by the imperial court.
Then, does anyone in this world dare to go against the imperial court?
Even if you want to rebel, it must be based on money.
But the money is controlled by the imperial court, so how can you rebel?
The huge benefits that the family has gained by monopolizing knowledge for thousands of years are obvious.
And money is sometimes more useful than knowledge.
After all, not everyone can say that "money is the most useless thing in the world".
It costs money to support soldiers and horses, it costs money to build roads and bridges, and it costs even more money to live.
In an era where the monetary system has been almost perfected, saying that money is useless is a slap in the face.
What's more, the current norm of knowledge being monopolized by aristocratic families has gradually faded away from the stage of history with the rise of book schools in various places and the reform of the imperial examination system.
If at this time, wealth is again monopolized and controlled by the imperial court.
The existence of that aristocratic family will fall into a very embarrassing situation.
The system that the family has built over thousands of years will fall apart in an instant.
The reputation and influence that the family has accumulated over thousands of years will no longer exist.
Since these people in the world know this, will they still sit idly by and ignore it?
After all, not all aristocratic families are like the Changsun family. The Lu family and the Sun family are so foresighted, or can see the current world clearly. of.
…
The day the bank opened.
Li Chengqian was not present in person.
The opening ceremony is entirely responsible for the new generation of the Suzhou Lu family, Lu Hansheng.
The purpose of this is the same.
It's nothing more than Li Chengqian wanting Lu Hansheng to show his face more often, so that the people of Huainan Road or the whole world would know of Lu Hansheng's existence.
Wait until the cutting and other rituals are over.
Sun Xiunian, the representative of the Yangzhou Sun family, Liang Huayu, the representative of the Yangzhou Liang family, and Yu Su, the representative of the Yangzhou Yu family, stood up.
These three people announced in front of everyone that they would exchange all their property into bank notes.
And in the future, we will vigorously support the development of banks, and will use money notes instead of currency to pay when doing business across the country.
Their actions are nothing more than announcing to the entire world of Yangzhou that I will no longer associate with you, and I will now go to the imperial court.
This also attracted a lot of discussion from the onlookers.
"Hey, tell me, they were scolding His Highness King Qin a few days ago. Why are they all running to support the bank today?"
"Yes, do you think they have reached some kind of agreement with King Qin? Otherwise, why would their attitude change so drastically?"
"Oh, what's the use of talking about this? The King of Qin represents the imperial court, so you can't go against the imperial court, right?"
"That's it, what's the benefit of going against the imperial court? Okay, everyone, please disperse, there's no need to watch anymore."
The people talked about everything.
But among the crowd, those from Shilin are not so good-tempered.
"The Sun family, the Liang family, the Yu family and others are all scum among scholars."
"Yes, they are just a group of lackeys of the imperial court. They have completely abandoned the character of scholars."
"The Yangzhou family does not welcome you lackeys and hawks, get out of Yangzhou City, get out of Yangzhou City!"
A group of people shouted angrily at the heads of the three families.
However, their angry curses were directly ignored by the heads of the three families.
Regardless of some things or some people, seeing is believing.
I won’t talk about anything else, just Li Chengqian.
Before they met Li Chengqian, they were no different from those aristocratic families. They only thought that Li Chengqian was a libertine with no rules.
But when they saw it with their own eyes, they all blushed at what they had said.
Li Chengqian's whole body, not to mention the same as Li Shimin's, was filled with the aura of a king.
Anyone who gets along with him can feel his elegance, easygoingness, humility and courtesy.
No matter who he was talking to, he always had a smile on his face.
There are many officials, princes and princes in the world.
But it's rare to see Li Chengqian so unassuming.
In comparison, I am afraid that the inspection official Shi Yantong was much more official than Li Chengqian.
But it was such a person who was passed down by the family as a heinous devil.
It was also because Li Chengqian was different from the rumors that they decided to look at the matter again.
And after listening to Li Chengqian talk about his big picture and blueprint.
They immediately decided to participate in Li Chengqian's plan.
And since they chose to side with Li Chengqian, how could they care about these curses and rumors?
Amid the scoldings and exclamations of the crowd, they asked their servants to take the copper coins stored at home to the bank and exchange them all for money notes.
The face value of the money note ranges from one thousand yuan to five hundred yuan to one hundred yuan to fifty yuan.
And this was all determined by Li Chengqian based on current prices.
Now a pound of pork costs three or four dollars. One hundred coins, he can't come up with a bunch of change that is too small, right?
Furthermore, the price of a money ticket is not low. He can't let the value of the money ticket be lower than his own value, right?
After all, he still wants to make a profit from doing this.
Even if he does business at a loss, Changsun Wuji and Lu Qing will not let him do charity.
Therefore, the money that was finally settled was the one in front of me, one thousand, five hundred, one hundred, and fifty.
Moreover, the denomination of 510 was only added at the strong request of Li Chengqian.
Otherwise, Changsun Wuji would have wanted to start with a denomination of five hundred.
To be honest, I watched cartloads of copper coins being sent to the bank, and all they got out in exchange was a pile of paper.
There is still some faint worry in the hearts of those people.
Someone asked Lu Hansheng the question in his heart: "Boss Lu, money is yours only if you hold it in your own hands."
"If one day the bank stops operating, or runs away with the big guys' money, won't all these money notes become useless paper?"
"That's right, Boss Lu, your bank is very prosperous now, but what will you do if one day it stops running?"
Listen to these people's questions.
Lu Hansheng smiled slightly, faced the common man who spoke first, and asked, "How much money do you have?"
The common man was stunned for a moment, and then said slowly: "I don't say there are tens of thousands of copper coins at home, but there are also ten thousand coins."
Lu Hansheng asked again: "Do you know how much money our Datang treasury has?"
"In other words, how much money does the treasury of the Changsun family, the Lu family, and our Tang Dynasty have together?"
Hearing this, the people were stunned.
Lu Hansheng smiled and said: "So, your worries are completely unnecessary."
"The business of this bank was opened by the Emperor, the eldest Sun family and the Lu family. How could they run away?"
