Water Margin: The opening scene involves assassinating Emperor Huizong of Song and forcibly taking L

Because the Great Liang dynasty won every battle and rewarded its soldiers with every victory.

The generals who participated in many battles amassed a considerable fortune.

Their money came from a clean source.

There's nothing shameful about it.

They all had their families bring them to deposit.

Although the Liangshan heroes were not afraid

However, Zhao Yuan still considered that ordinary wealthy households might be worried.

After all, there has been a saying since ancient times that one should not flaunt one's wealth.

Therefore, transactions exceeding one thousand strings of cash are handled on the second floor.

Another inconvenience is that money is not easy to carry in this era.

If there's a slightly larger quantity, we'll need to use a vehicle to transport it.

The beautiful women handling the business could only be taken directly to the backyard.

We'll issue the invoice after the inventory is completed.

All the seals were meticulously carved by the jade craftsman Jin Dajian.

Several anti-counterfeiting features have been added.

The orders were also printed by the royal palace.

It is very difficult for ordinary people to forge.

The three beautiful women depositing money on the first floor did receive some business.

All this was after the officials in the court learned that the old men from Liangshan were coming to deposit money.

They also came to show their support.

However, they were terrified by the imperial court's methods of executing corrupt officials.

Even those with immense wealth dare not flaunt it.

This is just a partial example.

The three beautiful women who applied for loans waited for a while.

Not a single customer came to our door.

They couldn't help but look at Zhao Yuan with resentment.

Zhao Yuan has been teaching them arithmetic these past few days.

They were all familiar with each other, he said with a smile.

"Don't worry, our interest rates are low,"

"The pawnshop customers will come."

The voice just fell,

Then a young man who looked like a spendthrift came in.

I walked toward the loan counter.

The beautiful woman behind her was delighted that a customer had finally come in.

She immediately asked in a sweet voice, "Does the guest want to borrow money?"

The young man heard the beautiful woman's greeting,

The bones immediately crumbled, becoming mostly soft.

If I hadn't known it was a royal bank...

They'd probably flirt with him on the spot.

The young man pulled a house deed from his pocket.

"Young lady, how much do you think I can mortgage this yard for?"

The beautiful woman took the property deed and smiled.

"This needs to be evaluated by the three gentlemen who will follow up,"

“Calculate an average price, then you can mortgage 70% of it,”

"Interest is calculated monthly at one percent per month,"

"Payments can be made up to six months at a time,"

"You can continue to mortgage it after paying the interest."

"If you agree,"

"I'll send it to the back for them to evaluate."

The young man received a much higher percentage than the pawnshop offered.

He immediately nodded and said, "Okay."

The shopkeeper in the back was someone Zhao Yuan had hired from a closed pawnshop.

They have all been in the industry for many years.

A person who has seen and experienced much.

The change of dynasty led to the execution of a number of Song Dynasty officials.

They also killed a group of the wealthiest households who had caused the most harm.

However, compared to the cities conquered before...

The killings in Tokyo have decreased significantly.

After all, the Great Liang needed to appease the people as soon as possible.

We must not engage in indiscriminate killing.

However, corrupt officials were rampant in the Song Dynasty.

Many homes were confiscated.

The imperial court also acquired many courtyards and shops.

There are naturally quite a few unemployed people.

The new dynasty had just been established, and the people's hearts were not yet settled.

Even the surviving wealthy households dared not rashly take in the servants of those whose homes had been confiscated by the imperial court.

What if we accept the wrong person?

Wouldn't we be doomed as a result?

Therefore, Zhao Yuan easily found more than a dozen experienced shopkeepers who were usually impossible to hire.

These would be experts in later generations.

Although only one store is open for now,

But Zhao Yuan knew that his bank would eventually spread throughout the country.

Therefore, they invited everyone they found.

These old managers understood that they were working for the Royal Bank.

That would naturally be a great pleasure.

To be able to serve the royal family

That's like auspicious smoke rising from ancestral graves.

After the first loan transaction,

Subsequent business began to come one after another.

After the people who came to support the event finished their business at the deposit area, it became quiet.

Now it was the turn of the three beautiful women who had saved the money to look at Zhao Yuan with resentment.

Chapter 1753 Ren Meiren

Zhao Yuan could only shrug helplessly.

After all, it just opened.

Without the test of time,

Who can trust to deposit their money?

Although it operates under the royal banner,

However, Zhao Yuan couldn't force the people to save money.

Seeing that the business was progressing smoothly, Zhao Yuan went up to the third floor.

The third floor is the office of the future manager of the money exchange.

There is no supervisor yet.

There was only one palace maid with the best calculation skills who managed the affairs of the bank.

Zhao Yuanjin sat in his office for a while.

Then a palace maid rushed in.

All the palace maids at the money exchange have changed into cheongsams designed by Zhao Yuan.

Of course, it's not called a cheongsam now.

Instead, it was called Liang Pao.

The uniform bright red Liang robes were the work clothes of the Royal Bank.

As she moved, her snow-white thighs appeared and disappeared intermittently.

I was downstairs just now.

Several beautiful women got up and walked to the back.

Zhao Yuan then noticed that the guests were staring intently at the women's thighs.

Song Dynasty clothing still retained some styles from the Tang Dynasty.

Ren Jinnu came from a merchant family.

She could write and calculate from a young age.

She is also very beautiful.

Therefore, her family spent a lot of money to send her to the palace.

If she could catch the emperor's eye,

Being a concubine would naturally be the best.

If one cannot become a concubine,

Because she could write and calculate,

Being a lady-in-waiting in the imperial palace would be good too.

I can take care of her family's business in the future.

After all, the various purchases made by the royal palace involve a huge amount of money.

When Professor Zhao Yuan used Arabic numerals,

Ren Jinnu recognized these numbers as those used by Arab merchants.

However, she couldn't be sure.

I don't even know if arithmetic was used by the Arabs.

Therefore, I never dared to say anything more.
