No one cares about it, which damages the majesty of the heavenly family.
Emperor Jing couldn't help but feel tense, but he regained his composure in an instant. He looked at Xu Wenshu and comforted him: "The Qing family is worried."
"How can it be that no one cares about Fang Zheng when he opens a bank in my name? I don't believe it. Are no people really willing to trust me?"
Xu Wenshu sighed: "Your Majesty's face is naturally very important. I think that as long as your Majesty is involved, there will definitely be a response, but the responders are definitely not ordinary people."
"The people are short-sighted, spend money wisely, and are wary of everything. Although their lives are getting better now, they all came from the poor days, and they will never put their money in the hands of others just because of a few words from outsiders. Banks all over the world have been open for so many years, but how many people will deposit money in them? It can be said to be very few."
"When the new bank opens in the future, it will be next to the most prosperous exchange in the capital, while the entrance to the bank will be deserted. Comparing the two, there will definitely be rumors among the people, and it may even be said that His Majesty wants to collect people's wealth and is unsuccessful."
Emperor Jing's face gradually turned ugly.
Xu Wenshu said bitterly: "It doesn't matter. Just assume that this bank is open and prosperous, but has your Majesty ever thought about it? There will always be countless problems in a bank."
"Especially in the current situation, the rapid circulation of money in the world and the huge growth of wealth are rare in the world. Once a problem occurs, it will be a huge difficulty that has never been seen before. The imperial court has no experience in facing it. What if things start from one family? If a large-scale bank connected to His Majesty is exposed and countless people's property is damaged, it will undoubtedly have a double blow to the imperial court."
"In all things in the world, stability is the first priority. Never do anything without complete assurance. To put it bluntly, the new bank is simply unnecessary in the eyes of the minister. Now that it has not been established, it is better for your majesty to take back the order as soon as possible."
Emperor Jing's face turned red.
The words Xu Wenshu said made his face burn with shame.
When I agreed to Fang Zheng's decision, it was mainly because of the title of the picture, and I didn't think too much about it.
Now it seems that what Xu Wenshu said does make sense. If something happens to the bank and affects him, it will be extraordinary.
But then I thought again, and what Fang Zhengyi said at the beginning made sense. Banks are different from ordinary banks but they have their own functions.
The choice between the two made Emperor Jing feel embarrassed and at the same time in trouble.
After a moment, he said: "This matter...cannot be withdrawn, my decision has been made."
Xu Wenshu said in surprise: "Does your Majesty think what I said is wrong?"
"You have your reasons, and Fang Zhengyi also has his reasons. Now that we have started, there is no reason to give up halfway. I don't want to stop. Let's wait until there is a result." Emperor Jing said helplessly.
Stop? He wanted to stop it!
But everything has been spread to the ears of your Ministry of Finance, and probably many people in the court know about it. It's just that the Ministry of Finance has such a close relationship with money and food that they couldn't help but jump out.
If you say you won’t do something half done, what will the people below think?
As for the issues Xu Wenshu mentioned, those things didn’t happen...
"Your Majesty, it's too late to stop now. It will be troublesome to deal with it later." Xu Wenshu persuaded.
Emperor Jing said with a wooden face: "I will rest assured when Fang Zheng takes care of things."
Xu Wenshu said reluctantly: "Your Majesty, Marquis Jianye is indeed capable, but he is not a god! Running a bank is not like building a train. The ore can be smashed out by throwing it into the furnace. It takes time to grind it out bit by bit. , it can never be achieved overnight..."
The more he talked about it, the more unsure Emperor Jing felt. Finally, he became angry and said: "I have decided on this matter. Let the Qing family go back first. If you are worried, then go to Fang Zhengyi. You two can discuss what is right and what is wrong before you come to me." explain."
...
Time passed by and it was already the bank’s opening day.
The bank next to the exchange looks extremely mysterious.
In the past, restaurants or other shops would cover their signboards.
But this bank is extraordinary. The whole bank is wrapped in red cloth and covered tightly.
The bank had been built two days ago. Those who knew the inside story knew that it was a bank, while the uninformed people stopped and watched.
Today, a large number of people gathered in front of the bank.
Everyone who comes here is worth a lot of money.
Liu Zhongshun stood at the door of the bank and repeatedly raised his hands to show his goodwill.
Fang Zhengyi hid in the dark and observed that the people attending the opening ceremony today were all customers who had been appointed in advance.
However, these customers are really weak, and there is a huge difference between the plan and the actual situation.
Everyone promised to save money verbally, but in the end the money they took out was only eighteen thousand taels. No one dared to spend money, and he couldn't force these people.
But this is reasonable. Fortunately, he has many preparations.
Today's opening is just the appetizer, the hard food is behind, and the people are the main event.
Not far away from him, Xu Wenshu was also standing behind the crowd in regular clothes.
Since the last time he met Emperor Jing, he had no intention of looking for Fang Zhengyi.
His Majesty has made up his mind, and if he tries to persuade him again, he will be ignorant.
Moreover, Fang Zhengyi took the lead in this matter, and His Majesty was unwilling to give up. Naturally, Fang Zhengyi would not let go.
For the current plan, the only way is to observe the situation on site and then let Emperor Jing change his mind.
Otherwise, if this bank really gets started, it will inevitably cause trouble to the Ministry of Revenue.
Enough trouble already!
After waiting for a long time, all the invited guests have gathered, and many melon eaters have joined the team.
The street seemed to be blocked by water.
Fang Zhengyi quickly gestured to Liu Zhongshun from below.
Liu Zhongshun immediately cheered up, raised his hands high and said, "Everyone, the auspicious time has come! Thank you for coming to the opening ceremony of Jingxing Bank. You have been waiting for a long time. Let's start right away without further ado!"
Then, as soon as his hands fell, the two boys on the left and right beside him immediately lit the firecrackers at hand.
Amidst a burst of crackling sounds, Liu Zhongshun pulled the red cloth hard.
The giant red cloth suddenly fell slowly.
As the true identity of the bank was revealed in front of everyone, the originally noisy conversations on the streets suddenly stopped!
Even the well-informed Xu Wenshu looked shocked and stared blankly at the incredible building in front of him.
What a house this is!
How many artificial white crystals from Taoyuan County must be used to achieve such an effect?
The building standing in front of us is adjacent to the exchange. Although it is not very tall, its architectural style is extremely special.
The square house has two floors, both with large glass windows instead of the previous wooden windows.
It is made entirely of reinforced concrete, and a large area of the outside is painted with silver paint.
Between the second floor and the first floor are four huge blue fonts [Jingxing Bank]!
