Travel to the early Tang Dynasty and become a salted fish

Chapter 164 Apply eye drops to Li Shimin

After everyone settled the matter, Chu Mo walked out of the room first.

Next came Li Shimin and the heads of the five surnamed Qiwang families, while Cui Yingying and Changsun Wuji came last.

After everyone left, Lin Wan quickly stepped forward and closed the door.

As soon as the door was closed, a trace of blood flowed from the corner of Yang Hongyu's mouth, who was sitting there, and then she fell to the side.

Seeing this, Yang Paifeng held her up and asked nervously: "Miss, are you okay?"

Yang Hongyu waved her hand and said, "We can't wait any longer. After my uncle is done with his work, tell him that I want to go back to the teacher's door. During this time, let him not cause trouble."

After saying that, he shouted towards the open space: "Xiao Hei, let's go."

Commander Black appeared out of nowhere, supported Yang Hongyu and left quickly.

When Yang Paifeng and Lin Wan saw Yang Hongyu leaving, they didn't rush out of the room, but discussed countermeasures.

As soon as Chu Mo and his party came down to the hall, they attracted everyone's attention.

As long as everyone present is not a fool, they all know that the group of people who came up just now must be discussing the matter of the bank that Chu Mo mentioned before.

Sure enough, as soon as Chu Mo came on stage, he said to everyone: "I'm sorry everyone, because several big bosses feel that my bank is beneficial to the country and the people and contributes to economic development, so they all want to cooperate with me."

"Originally, my business was exclusive to our family. Now, not only my second brother of the Li family, but also several big families with the fifth surname and Qi Wang have joined in. There is even a hidden sect that also accounts for a large part of it. Partial shares.”

"Originally, I was just planning to promote the bank today, but I couldn't withstand the enthusiastic demands of several shareholders."

"So I decided that the first bank in the Tang Dynasty will open on time in three days' time at Changlefang Sishi in the East City (9 a.m. - 11 a.m.). You can go and handle business then."

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone in the hall started talking.

"Mr. Chu, I don't know, besides saving money and exchanging banknotes, what other business does your bank have?"

Someone in the crowd asked loudly.

Chu Mo smiled slightly, and after everyone was quiet, he replied: "Our bank not only has money deposit business, but also corresponding lending business."

"Of course, our lending targets are currently only for businesses with good reputations, temporarily unable to turn over money and willing to pay low interest rates, or good people with collateral."

"So Mr. Chu, what is your interest rate? Is it the same as the loan sharks outside?"

In the crowd, someone didn't know who spoke again.

"How is that possible? Chu is doing business openly and openly. If he really wants to make that dirty money, I'm afraid he will be drowned in the saliva of the people of the Tang Dynasty."

"The interest charged by our bank is definitely within the range allowed by Tang Law."

Just like this, from time to time, one or two eager to learn people who are "not ashamed to ask" will pop up from the crowd and ask all the doubtful things in everyone's mind.

Chu Mo answered these questions with a smile throughout.

Li Shimin and others on the side had their mouths twitching slightly. If they hadn't been standing at the back and knew that there were only three or five people asking questions from beginning to end, they would definitely have been led into the ditch by this question-and-answer method.

As for the dignitaries holding the tables, they all maintain their own identities. How could they ask casual questions like the people in the market?

It's enough to have those unknown well-wishers asking questions and answering their doubts. Wouldn't it be nice to watch the show by yourself?

After answering the question, Chu Mo took a sip of water, moistened his throat, and then raised his hands toward the audience again and said:

"They say today is a banquet. Now, I have solved the bank affairs and answered many questions in everyone's mind. Now, it is time to serve everyone."

"Now, I announce that due to the grand opening of our bank, we have specially prepared a big gift for everyone present."

"As you all know, this morning, the price of grain on the market has reached 260 cents per bucket. To be honest, when I heard the news, my heart was bleeding."

"Now that the disaster is so serious outside, some people still want to take advantage of the country's crisis to make money. Therefore, in order to stabilize the market price of food, we, Shiwei Tian, ​​sold 50 shi of food a few days ago."

"It's just that I don't know why so much grain was thrown out, and why did the price of grain on the market rise instead of falling?"

After finishing speaking, he looked at Li Shimin and the heads of the five surnames and Qiwang, intentionally or unintentionally.

Everyone's eyes followed Chu Mo's eyes.

When they found Li Shimin and his party standing in the corner, they all turned around in a hurry.

Are you kidding me, is His Majesty the Emperor's face so easy to see?Don't worry about bumping into Long Yan, I'll put on some shoes for you tomorrow.

Although everyone dared not look directly at Li Shimin, Chu Mo's words also resonated with them. Yes, so much food has entered the market, why can't food prices go down?

Li Shimin clenched his fists at this time and really wanted to rush up and punch Chu Mo a few times.

If he hadn't been worried that he wouldn't be able to get out of this world of food after beating someone, he would have even wanted to fight Chu Mo.

It's not because he doesn't want to use food to stabilize food prices.

However, more and more victims were gathering outside the city, and it had not rained at all during this period. He was worried that the disaster would become more severe in the future.

Without the food in hand as a guarantee, he was worried that the victims outside the city would attack the city gate, causing unpredictable consequences.

In his opinion, the people in the city could afford to buy food, at least they were not at the end of their rope.

It is really a helpless move to use the limited food to relieve the people outside the city.

But now that Chu Mo said it in public, he couldn't go up to argue. After all, these matters were private transactions between himself and several famous families. They were not brought to light. At least they still had a fig leaf.

If he rushes forward to argue regardless and is caught by those civil servants and officials, then he will be reviled by the people of the entire Tang Dynasty.

The people outside the city are people, but the people inside the city are not human beings?You, Li Shimin, are just watching the people in the city starve to death, and you don't think of a way to stabilize food prices?

He saw Li Shimin looking at him with anger, a bit of resentment, and a bit of pleading.

Chu Mo coughed and continued: "Since the price of food in the market has not been suppressed for a long time, we, Shiweitian, have decided to make another bloodshed."

"Prepare to sell 50 shi of grain at a low price again to provide a life for the people outside the city."

As soon as these words came out, the hall became lively again.

Although they didn't know who the person behind Shiweitian was, they were able to produce 100 million stones of food in this short period of time.

Even if the five surnames and seven hopes put together, it is impossible to do it.

As a result, those who originally dismissed banks began to slowly change their minds.
