I did evil in the feudal land, but I was called a virtuous king

"Did I copy so many gambling houses?" Li An was a little surprised.

Although I like to take people to copy gambling houses to earn extra money when I have no money, I guess I didn't copy so fast, right?

Li An also knows how to make progress in a circular manner. If all the money is bought at once, where will I go to make extra money in the future?

"My lord raided a total of eleven gambling houses and seized more than 3 taels of stolen silver." Liu Yiyi took out the small notebook she carried with her.

She is getting more and more stylish in her work now. If she is paired with a pair of glasses, a black silk uniform and a short skirt, she will have the sense of sight of a strong urban woman.

The first one that Li An copied was the largest gambling house, and then he copied some small gambling houses, so he didn't get much stolen money.

"Then the people in the gambling house were terrified of the prince, and they all ran away. Now Qingshui County, at least in the county, has no gambling house."

After finishing speaking, Liu Yiyi put away the small notebook.

Li An nodded, and thought for a moment, "The ones who gamble here are those who don't have much money in their pockets. It's intriguing to open a restaurant here!"

"According to Commander Liu's investigation, besides the gambling house, there are also slave traders operating here.

These slave traders trafficked girls from Dahua to Nanling Kingdom and its surrounding small countries.Then traffic the young girls from other countries to Dahua and sell them to the rich and powerful!Most of the people they sell are abducted. "

Human trafficking!

Thinking of this, Li An's face darkened in an instant, his eyes filled with murderous intent.

"How come I don't know these things?"

"Commander Liu didn't investigate this before. I only found out about it when I asked Commander Liu to help find a house, and the group of people all ran away after hearing the news."

"That restaurant, on the surface, is a restaurant, but in fact it is in the business of human trafficking."

Although there is a slavery system in Dahua, the law also clearly stipulates that slaves in Dahua are absolutely not allowed to be sold to other countries.

Moreover, the slave trade must also be carried out by a tooth shop designated by the imperial court.

Any other slave trader who secretly trafficked human beings is a capital offense, let alone abduction!

Chapter 26

The man had already run away, and it was too late to chase after him, but Li An secretly kept this matter in his heart.

The next time he meets this group of human traffickers, he doesn't need to send them to build a dam, he can kill them directly.

Soon came to the restaurant that Liu Yiyi mentioned, compared with the dilapidated buildings around, the restaurant was much newer.

This restaurant has just been built a few years ago. The restaurant occupies a large area and there is a huge courtyard behind it.

There are also many rooms in the courtyard, which should be used by traffickers to hide the kidnapped girls.

"This place is big enough to accommodate 3000 people, Yiyi, you did a good job." Li An nodded with satisfaction.

Living in the county government office every day is not an option, the main reason is that the county government office is too dilapidated, and Li An feels that he is not worthy of his status.

He didn't have time to look for it before, but now that he is free, he asked Liu Yiyi to look for a place as soon as possible.

It's time for their group to move out of the county office.

In the afternoon of that day, Li An moved into the restaurant with his guards. Before the palace was built, this was Li Anxin's foothold.

The guards had a busy day cleaning out the restaurant, and the restaurant, which was covered in cobwebs and dust, looked brand new again.

Afterwards, Li An hired carpenters and bricklayers to renovate the restaurant.

A week later, the original door plaque of the restaurant was taken down and replaced with a new one: "Ping An Bank!"

Three days later, a group of merchants came to Qingshui County tremblingly.

"Master, don't we really rest in Qingshui County?" A waiter looked at the businessman in the sedan chair with a tired face.

"We have been exhausted along the way. If we encounter robbers when we go out of the customs, the guards may not be able to fight."

Hearing this, Xingshang also let out a long sigh.

"You don't know that the king of Nanjiang lives in Qingshui County now, and he only picks rich merchants like us, and maybe he will be dragged by him to build a dam. Who dares to settle in Qingshui County now?

It is also necessary to go through Qingshui County to exit the customs, otherwise who would want to come here.

Not to mention us, even the merchants from Nanling Kingdom dare not set foot in Qingshui County.

Stop talking, hurry up and get out of town. "

Hearing this, the guy was so frightened that he cheered up instantly. From this point of view, this Qingshui County is really a place that eats people.

Just a few steps away, a few guards blocked their way.

"Master, there is someone in front."

The rich merchant opened the curtain and saw the menacing guards, and was so frightened that he collapsed in the sedan chair on the spot.

"My prince invites you to have a party!"

At the same time, many peddlers were stopped by Li An's guards. There were peddlers from Dahua, and peddlers from Nanling Kingdom and many small countries.

There is no way, they have to go through Qingshui County if they want to do business. Although they come and go in a hurry, as long as Li An wants to catch them, they can still easily catch a lot.

……

Outside Ping An Bank.

Seeing the dilapidated, desolate and uninhabited scene here, many merchants couldn't help but panic. Is this going to kill people?

At this time, a beautiful girl appeared in front of everyone, and a light voice came: "Everyone, please follow me, the prince is waiting for you."

Seeing Liu Yiyi and everyone's tense hearts finally relaxed a little, subconsciously followed Liu Yiyi into the Ping An Bank.

in a box.

Li An sat in the first place, and Liu Yiyi warmly poured him a cup of tea.

Other merchants did not have the treatment of beauties pouring tea, and guards with fierce faces in armor and swords were pouring tea for them.

Just the act of pouring tea scared them enough, for fear that these officials and lords would suddenly stab them in the neck.

"Everyone, please have some tea." Li An said with a smile.

Several merchants held up their teacups tremblingly, spilling all the tea.

Although they had never experienced Ang Lee's Hongmen Banquet before, they had all heard the rumors.

Everyone knows that Ang Lee's banquet is not so easy to attend.

"Don't be nervous, everyone. I'm not hosting a grand banquet for you today." Li An smiled, "I invite you here to promote my bank account."

"Bank number?" A merchant frowned.

When he came, he noticed the door plaque of the silver number, but no one knew what the silver number was for.

In Dahua, there are no such things as money houses and bank accounts. People who want to exchange currency must go to the county government to exchange.

There are none of these things, and naturally there is no currency such as silver bills that can replace gold, silver, and copper coins.

Therefore, when merchants went out, in addition to bringing their own goods and goods, they would also carry a large amount of gold, silver and copper coins with them for emergencies.

For this reason, merchants have to bring a large number of guards to prevent bandits and thieves when they go out, which is very inconvenient and expensive.

Li An nodded, picked up the teacup and took a sip.

At this time Liu Yiyi stood up, "Our bank account can help you deposit money, and we will give you the corresponding bank notes according to the deposited money. In the future, everyone can withdraw the silver taels only by relying on the bank notes."

"Of course, the bank account also needs to operate. Every time you withdraw money, you need to pay [-]% of the handling fee to our bank account."

Speaking of which, Liu Yiyi took out a template of a silver ticket and put it on the table, "This is a silver ticket of 1 taels. Everyone thinks it is convenient to go out with this silver ticket, or it is more convenient to go out with boxes of silver. ?”

Many merchants looked at the bank notes curiously, can this thing be used as money?

Having this thing is indeed much more convenient than running around with money, but just leave the money in someone else's home, what if someone refuses to accept it in the future?

Liu Yiyi glanced at everyone, and immediately said: "The owner of the silver account is my prince, and I don't need to say more about the credibility of the prince.

If in the future everyone comes to my Pingan bank with bank notes and cannot exchange them for money, they can take the bank notes to the capital to sue the imperial court. The first generation of bank notes all have the official seal of the prince, and they cannot be faked. "

"When everyone withdraws money, we will charge a handling fee. Similarly, as long as everyone deposits the silver in my Ping An Bank, we will pay you interest after a certain period of time. The more you deposit, the more interest you will get."

"In addition, our bank also launched loan services, which can help everyone tide over difficulties..."

Liu Yiyi was eloquent, and she memorized everything Li An taught her in her heart.

Soon many merchants were taken aback by what Liu Yiyi said, and the more they heard it, the more they felt that this bank note was a good thing.

The reason why Li An asked Liu Yiyi to speak for him was because he wanted to set up a strong character for his aloof personality, and because Liu Yiyi was a beautiful woman who spoke, others were more willing to listen and have more affinity.

After a while, Liu Yiyi finished introducing the bank account, and looked at everyone with a smile: "Everyone can save some money for a try first, our Ping An bank account will not disappoint everyone."

When the beauty smiled, the merchants subconsciously blurted out, "I'll save it!"

Chapter 27 Virtuous Cycle

Of course, not everyone was fooled by Liu Yiyi, and then they agreed when they saw that the girl was good-looking.

Instead, he looked nervously at Li An, Li An was the ultimate villain in the eyes of the merchant.

Doing business with Li Ang, the money is deposited with him, and I am afraid that if it is deposited, it will not be withdrawn, and it may be necessary to repair the dam.

Li An met everyone's gaze, smiled coldly, his eyes were full of threats: "Why, do you want me to introduce you again?"

Li An had already made a plan, he gave this group of people a courtesy first.

In short, those who were present today had to deposit points with him more or less, and he had to let the merchants know about the existence of the Ping An Bank.

Whether it is the one who voluntarily saved money and talked about it with other merchants, or the one who was forced to save money and complained about it with others.

You have to get famous first, black and red are also considered red.

It won't be long before these people will gradually know how useful the bank notes are.

"Don't dare, dare not." Hong Shang shook his head again and again.

"The new store opens, everyone support it, how much do you plan to save?" Li An looked at a peddler threateningly.

"I save 500 taels!"

Li An looked at the next one: "I will deposit 200 taels."

"I save 1000 taels."

Because of the previous events, wealthy businessmen who were truly wealthy no longer dared to set foot in Qingshui County.

The merchants who took the risk to pass through Qingshui County rely on this to make a living, and the merchants in different places can't afford to support their families.

So they don't have much silver either.

The money we are talking about now is what they carry with them for emergencies.

It was just to please and bribe Li An, and I didn't even think about depositing it and taking it out.

Li An nodded, and asked Liu Yiyi to write the bank notes and hand them over to everyone.

Ang Lee's first-generation banknotes can be used as currency, or as passbooks and the like.

Because it is just opened, many businesses are not yet complete, and Ang Lee will improve and distinguish them little by little in the future.

Many merchants reluctantly handed over the silver, and then exchanged for a bank note with the official seal of Li An and the seal of Ping An Bank.

After handing over the real money, I always feel a little uncomfortable in exchange for such a piece of paper.

"My lord, what if someone falsifies the banknote?" A wealthy businessman asked nervously.

He was afraid that others would know about the bank notes, so he made a fake bank note and took away his own money.

"My Ping An Bank's banknotes naturally have a way to distinguish the authenticity. If our own mistakes lead to someone impersonating someone, when the time comes, you bring the real banknote, and I will still give you the silver."

The paper used to make banknotes was developed by Li An himself, and no one in Daxia can imitate his paper.

And in addition, Ang Lee also made anti-counterfeiting labels in many hidden places.

These things are only known to the most trusted people, and Li An can be 100% sure that no one will be able to make fake bank notes for at least ten years.

After finishing all this, Li An ordered the merchants to be sent out.

At the gate of the bank, all the escorts and horses of the merchants were waiting at the gate.

"Master, you can figure it out."

"Has anyone touched our goods?" A merchant was more vigilant.
