The two of them came to the bank as they talked.
The servant behind the cupboard took a look and immediately smiled and said, "Are you two guests here to borrow money?"
Brother Li lost a lot of goods, so he was naturally in a bad mood, and his tone of voice was also a little crooked.
"Nonsense, of course I came to the bank to borrow money. Is it possible to eat?"
The servant was stunned, then curled his lips and said, "Okay, who will lend the money, and who is the borrower?"
Brother Li took out his identity certificate and handed it to the servant. The servant took a look and found that he was from Yuntong County. He lived in the county, but his ancestral home was in a county below Yuntong County.
"How much do you want to borrow? You should know that there are two levels of interest."
"I understand the bank's rules. I want to borrow 200,000 yuan."
"What's the collateral?"
"Fields in Jidong County~" Brother Li said and slapped a thick stack of land deeds on the counter.
The servant nodded and quickly took out a contract and filled it out, including basic information such as name, place of origin, date of birth, how much money was borrowed, and how much money needed to be repaid within a certain period of time.
After writing it, I made two copies and asked Brother Li to post it for later, and the servants were ready to get the money.
The companion pointed at a few soldiers at the door and said curiously, "This bank is very weird. There are even soldiers standing at the door of the bank. Tsk, tsk, tsk, Yuntong City is really weird everywhere."
Brother Li, who was still a little arrogant at first, suddenly woke up when he saw the soldiers at the door. This was Mr. Wu An's place. He was so high-profile that he might be tired of living.
Thinking of this, his attitude gradually improved, but he was just a little worried.
Suddenly, he seemed to have thought of something, and immediately called his servant, his face showing a hint of respect.
"Here, little brother, just give me 15 gold, and the rest of the five gold will be converted into coins."
The servant glanced at him and nodded, "Wait."
Not long after, fifteen golden cakes were brought out on a plate.
The servant said, "Other coins, which are larger in quantity, need to be delivered to the door or picked up by yourself. If delivered to the door, there will be a service fee of 10,000%. If it is 50,000 yuan, it will be 50 yuan."
Brother Li thought about it for a moment, shook his head and said, "No, the family's carriage has arrived. Just show me the quality of the coins."
Normally, this small amount of money would not be taken seriously, but now, a large amount of goods have been lost. To put it bluntly, I wish I could break the coin in half and spend it.
The servants dragged the boxes out one by one, opened them and said, "Would you like to count them? By the way, how much money do you want?"
When the box was opened, Brother Li and his companions' eyes widened.
Brother Li scratched his head in confusion and looked up at the servant, who also looked at him.
The two of them looked at the coins at the same time, most afraid of the sudden silence in the air. When they looked at each other again, Brother Li was instantly furious and yelled regardless of whose place it was.
"What I want is money. What is this? I don't believe that Wu Anjun let you do this."
The servant pointed to the notice at the door and said, "From now on, whether we borrow money or pay back money, we need to use newly minted coins. If you have any objections, you can borrow money from others."
Brother Li almost choked to death, although the entire loan market was disturbed because of the bank opened by Wu Anjun.
However, many people's interest rates have only begun to decline, but they are still very expensive, and some are still at 50% to 100%.
Only the bank is the cheapest, so naturally I exchange it here.
Brother Li had no choice but to smile bitterly and said, "Well, can the money be spent? I'm using the money to save lives!!!"
As time went by, the number of people in the bank gradually increased.
Everyone came in one after another, and there were more and more soldiers on the scene. There were more than a dozen counters, and there were specially trained servants working behind them.
These people all signed death contracts, but they were different from ordinary domestic slaves. They had standards and monthly stipends.
At this time, a middle-aged woman was sitting at the counter paying money and said loudly, "You guys started talking about it a few days ago.
Where are the coins? Can you let us see it? "
In addition, some people who just came in also started to cheer.
There are some people wearing gold, silver and crowns, who obviously have some status.
Another young man also came in, and the servants he led struggled to carry large boxes.
Brother Li turned around and said in surprise, "Are you, the young master of the Lu family?"
Lu Hongguang was stunned, frowned and said, "Who are you?"
Brother Li quickly raised his hand and said, "We met last time at Chunmeng Pavilion. I am just a small businessman and have done business with the Lu family several times."
Lu Hongguang suddenly realized, and immediately held his hand slightly. There were so many small businessmen like this, but compared with the Lu family, they were nothing.
If you can remember this person, it's a good thing, but you still have to have basic etiquette and don't embarrass the Lu family.
When he saw a box of coins on the ground, Lu Hongguang asked curiously, "What are you doing?"
Seeing Lu Hongguang asking about the situation, Brother Li immediately complained about how he was unlucky and how the goods fell off the cliff.
He was still pointing at the coins on the ground, feeling very depressed. Who would spend these coins? If he couldn't use them and others wouldn't admit them, he would be dead.
Lu Hongguang suddenly looked strange and said, "Aren't you in Yuntong recently?"
Brother Li nodded and said, "Well, I'm not here. I just came back."
Lu Hongguang grabbed a handful of coins from the box and put it in his hand.
"Can you take a look at the coin's style, weight, and fineness?"
Only then did Brother Li notice that the appearance of the coin, the smooth surface, and the majestic fonts already represented exquisite culture, making the entire coin full of artistic flavor.
Ordinary coins compared in front of it are as if they have been gnawed by dogs.
It's just that this money is very important, but Brother Li still doesn't dare to use it. He seems a little hesitant. Lu Hongguang doesn't say anything. If he doesn't use it, he seems to be disrespectful.
Just when he was in a dilemma, Lu Hongguang said as if he could see through his mind.
"I'm not afraid to tell you that all businesses, shops, and properties in Yuntong County use new coins for settlement. In the future, we will only accept new coins for paying taxes. Of course, we won't force you to change if you don't want to."
Brother Li was dumbfounded. You are not forced to do this. I have already put a knife on your neck, and I am telling you that you will not be able to move forward without spending this money. He said a little depressed.
"Forget it, I'd better change it. It's a pity that this kind of money can only be spent in Yuntong County. It's a pity that my business is all in Heyun County."
Lu Hongguang smiled and said, "This coin can not only be spent in Yuntong, but also in Heyun County, Guan County and Haichao County."
Brother Li was surprised and said, "Is this really true?"
"Everything is true!"
"Okay, okay, then I'll change it~~!"
After changing the coins, Brother Li and his friends handed over to Lu Hongguang and left.
Only Lu Hongguang was lost in thought, and Lu Daoyuan walked in before they had time to gather together.
"How much was exchanged?"
"Exchange it for two hundred thousand dollars."
Lu Daoyuan was surprised and said, "Two hundred thousand dollars? Didn't you say you wanted to exchange it for fifty thousand dollars to try it out?"
The servants were exchanging coins with the staff, while Lu Hongguang pulled Lu Daoyuan to the side.
"Dad, I just thought something was wrong. The new coins have just come out. Why can they be used in Haichao County, Guan County and Heyun County?"
Lu Daoyuan thought for a while, shook his head and said, "Of course Lord Wu An is so powerful."
Lu Hongguang pursed his lips and scratched his ears and cheeks, feeling as if he had caught something but not caught it yet.
"I suspect that Guan County, Haichao County and Yunhe County are all under your command."
Lu Daoyuan was shocked, "How is it possible? After the destruction of the Seven Kingdoms, there is now only a system of counties and counties, and in recent years, even land rewards have been very few. How can one person take care of five counties?"
"Anyway, I think a good relationship won't be as good as this. After all, except for Guan County, the power of the nobles in the other three counties is very strong."
Lu Daoyuan slightly nodded his head and was about to leave.
At this time, he couldn't help but grab a handful and put it into his pocket bag. I have to say that the coin was really impressive.
Compared with money, this is more like a kind of art. If you say one coin, two coins, or five coins, it is a little thin and the weight is average.
But the ten-cent and twenty-cent coins are more comfortable and thick. Holding them in your hand will make people feel at ease, as if coins should look like this.
After the Lu family and his son left, the bank became noisy. Many wealthy people came to exchange coins. On the contrary, there was a lot less lending business today.
"Quick, change some for me too."
"Give me 100 coins in exchange."
"100 dollars? Get out of here, little trash, and I'll exchange it for 1,000 dollars."
"Everyone here is a scumbag. I exchanged new coins for hardware."
When more than a dozen servants at their respective counters saw this scene, they were afraid that something was going to happen, so a clever person immediately asked someone to bring out the magic brake stone.
When everyone saw the three women appearing, the air instantly became quiet.
"Tian Yao, why are there Huns here?"
"Ha, you are so rare. Now many Huns come to our Yuntong to do business."
"Yes, yes, I bought my woolen sweater from a Hun merchant."
"Haha, don't tell me, the Huns are very flattering when doing business."
"But why do these three Huns women look different? It seems they are not just Huns."
Moshashi looked at the noisy hall. These people turned from discussing coins to discussing herself. She was slightly unhappy.
After all, she used to hold a high position of power. Even though women had little place on the grassland, her innate status still put her at a great distance from ordinary people.
"Come here, keep order for me~~~!"
"promise!"
Moshashi said loudly, and immediately the soldiers at the door came in one after another, pushing and shoving the noisy guests.
"Stand still for me."
"Don't make trouble. If you make trouble, I will let you do corvee work outside the customs."
"Damn it, you cut in line right under my nose, you think I'm blind."
After a commoner was caught, he was kicked in the butt and thrown to the back of the team.
"Everyone lined up for me. If they make loud noises or disrupt order, I will send them to jail."
