Come to Song Dynasty with the system

The bank got off to a good start, and the Tianxia Commercial Bank beside it also made a lot of money.Because it was right next door to the bank, many people went to Tianxia Commercial Bank after leaving the bank, and they didn't hire many carriages. After all, everyone didn't know about this business before, and they all brought their own carriages.But the white paper sold a lot, which made Hua'an and the others very happy.

When he saw that the amount of white paper sold in one day reached [-] guan, Su Shi couldn't help feeling that Da Song was really rich.

This is because the news hasn't been fully spread. If all the news is spread, the sales will only increase.

The head office opened, followed by the opening of eleven branches one after another, that is, in more than half a month, twelve branches in Bianliang City opened their doors one after another and began to operate.

The bank's business is stable, and then the next loan business, Zhou Quan finally found a professional, who was poached at a high price from a bank engaged in the transfer business.

Su Shi personally met this man named Yuan Xiaotou.

Not to mention, this man really has a big head and a thick neck.But he's not rich and he's not a cook.

Just because of his strong business ability, he became the manager of the Jiaozi business.This person seems to be good at managing money by nature, and is very familiar with the business of the bank. He also suggested to Jiaozi's senior management that the [-]% handling fee can be deducted for Jiaozi transactions, and he can earn money just by giving money to others. Quite a few.

The biggest advantage of doing this is that it can run other banks, and Jiaozi will dominate in the future.

It's just a pity that few people can give up the benefits they got, so this suggestion was naturally not accepted by others.Now that Huaxia Bank has set this precedent, Yuan Xiaotou was moved, Zhou Quan found him and the two hit it off.

Su Shi wants to see Yuan Xiaotou, in fact, he wants to use the system function to see if this person is reliable. After all, if there is an accident in the banking business, he will lose a lot of money. calculating.

When I saw Yuan Xiaotou, I didn't expect that the top of this person's head was not a piece of purple, nor blue, but a piece of red flame.

It turned out that Yuan Xiaotou had heard about Su Shi a long time ago, and admired him very much. Now that he can work under Su Shi, he is naturally very happy and excited, which directly expresses his loyalty in his heart.

There is nothing to doubt about the fact that the top of his head is red, Su Shi immediately appointed him as the general manager of Huaxia Bank, Zhou Quan was also liberated because of this, and returned to Su Mansion to become the chief housekeeper.

The bank is on the right track, and there are people who come to deposit money every day, and Huaxia Bank's bank notes have become the most popular bank notes today, seizing a large amount of the market before Jiaozi.As for the other small banks, they were directly squeezed and closed.

The financial resources are not as good as the people, the system is not as good as the people, the reputation is not as good as the people, and the rest of the banks will close their doors sooner or later.It’s just that Huaxia Bank really wants to replace Jiaozi, and there is still a long way to go to become the most popular bank.

Taking root in Bianliang City is just the first step, getting everyone's approval is only the second step, and going out is the third step. We really established branches in every large city in the Song Dynasty, and eventually spread all over the Song Dynasty. , this is the last step.

Once that day really comes, Su Shi believes that his influence will be comparable to few others.Even if you did something wrong at that time, if others want to touch you, you must carefully consider the consequences.

......

The Zichen Palace of the Imperial Palace.

Chen Lin was standing cautiously by the side, not daring to raise her head.

On the other side, Zhang Maoze's situation was not much better. He also kept his head down and didn't dare to look around. He didn't know what was going on in his heart.

On the dragon chair, Zhao Zhen was looking at the book in front of him, but he also didn't speak.But he didn't keep his head down all the time, but raised his head from time to time, and then he opened his eyes for a while, reading a book, and closed his eyes for a while, as if he was closing his eyes to rest his mind, or thinking about something.

The memorial was sent by Zhang Jian, the envoy of the Liao Kingdom. His words were rarely polite, and what was written in the book were all requests, with a very low profile.

Since the establishment of the Great Song Dynasty, the envoys sent by the Liao Kingdom to the Great Song Dynasty have been forty if not fifty, but there has never been one as polite as Zhang Jian. The tone is like Liao is really a vassal of the Song Dynasty.

This is just an illusion, and it is impossible for the Liao Kingdom to bow to the Song Dynasty, and Zhao Zhen certainly understands this.But there is still the existence of this memorandum, and all this is due to Su Shi's reasons.

According to Chen Lin, the staff of the secret spy department reported that yesterday, Zhang Jian took the initiative to go to the Su Mansion to meet Su Shi.

After more than an hour, he left the Su Mansion, and then there was the petition in front of him, asking Renzong Zhao Zhen to agree, and the Liao Dynasty would buy silk cloth, burning knives, benevolent tea, cigarettes and other things from the Song Dynasty in the future.

The memorandum also said that Zhang Jian had already made an agreement with Su Shaofu that he would buy a batch of goods for them separately next time.Now we just wait for the emperor of Song Dynasty to say yes.

In order to thank Emperor Renzong, the Liao Kingdom was willing to lower the previous annual tribute again, from the original 20 pieces of silk and 10 taels of silver to 5 pieces of silk and [-] taels of silver.

This is equivalent to reducing the amount by half.

In fact, no one cares about the number. This is more of a signal, that is, the Liao Kingdom is not as strong as it used to be against the Song Dynasty, and the two sides will gradually be on an equal footing.

Although many Song people believed that they were equal to Liao, they even far surpassed Liao in many aspects.But only the senior officials of Song Dynasty know that this is not the case.

For example, if the Liao Kingdom is unhappy, it can tear up the agreement at any time, send troops to the Song Dynasty, and carry out various so-called fraudulent activities.

On the contrary, if the Song people were unhappy, they would never dare to send troops to Liao lightly.

Based on this, Song Liao is actually not on the same level. When talking to each other, they are naturally divided into strong and weak, active and passive.

This is of course good news, but Zhao Zhen seemed a little unhappy, because all this was not achieved through his efforts, and everything was due to Su Shi.

On the other side of Zhao Zhen, there is also a playbook, which is Su Shi's play.

The above described in detail the process of Zhang Jian coming to the mansion to find him, and the results of the discussions between the two parties.

According to Su Shi, Zhang Jian is very optimistic about Huaxia Bank, and sincerely invites Su Shi to open the bank to Liao Kingdom. He will fully support it and mobilize relationships to escort it.But Su Shi sternly rejected it.

Are you kidding me?

Opening the bank to the Liao country is not the same as putting the fat on other tables, and it is impossible to keep the Liao country from eating.

Maybe not in the early stage, after all, it is too thin and there is no meat.But once fattened, it means that you will eat you if you eat it, and you will not be polite at all.

Su Shi would not make such a move to enrich others and lose himself.Maybe one day, he will open Huaxia Bank to Beidi, but at that time, Beidi must belong to Song Dynasty, not Liao Kingdom.

After rejecting Zhang Jian's request to open the bank, the other party wanted to buy silk cloth, burning knives, etc., and was willing to pay twice the price of Da Song's price. On this point, Su Shi After thinking about it, there was no objection.But because the matter is so serious that it needs to be reported to the officials, and the officials' consent can be given to suspend it.

For this point, Zhang Jian agrees very much, and this is the memorial that Zhao Zhen saw today.

Su Shi's memorial also stated that even if the goods were sold to the Liao Kingdom, they would only take them back to their own country to sell, and would not disrupt the Song Dynasty's market.At twice the price, Su Shi can naturally earn a lot, but at the same time, Zhao Zhen's own internal money and the national treasury of Song Dynasty will also earn a lot more.

Su Shi believes that this will definitely touch Zhao Zhen's heart.But he still told the officials in a very low profile that whether to sell the goods to the Liao Kingdom or not depends on the instructions of the officials.

Zhao Zhen said yes, he would sell it, he would pay more taxes, and make Song Dynasty rich.

Zhao Zhen said no, he would not sell it, and he would not make money if he had money.

At the end of the memorial, Su Shi also said that Zhang Jian was very sincere, and if His Majesty was ready to agree, he could take this opportunity to open his mouth. Don't miss such a good opportunity.

The memorial book has been read more than once, and Zhao Zhen sighed in his heart, but also felt a little sad.That is, Su Shi is too good, but it is useless to set off other courtiers.

The first unlucky ones were Zhang Maoze and Chen Lin. Who made them stand by Zhao Zhen's side at this time?

Just now, Zhao Zhen pointed at the two of them and scolded them, calling them useless people who have lived for so many years, they are not as good as a 16-year-old boy, not as good as a Su Shi who can be their grandchildren.

The master scolded himself, it was the slave's honor, Chen Lin and Zhang Mao would not have any resistance, but kept bowing their heads to admit their mistakes, and the atmosphere just now was in the hall.

"One hundred thousand pieces of cloth, 5 taels of silver is still too much. So, go and call Honglu Shaoqing Jiang Gu." After feeling a lot in his heart, Zhao Zhen finally decided to agree to this matter.He also planned to follow Su Shi's suggestion and take the opportunity to make more demands on the Liao envoy.

It didn't take long before Jiang Gu left the palace in a hurry, and Honglu Temple quickly sent someone to tell Zhang Jian to come to discuss matters.

After a lot of verbal battles between the two sides, the two sides finally agreed that the tribute coins should be changed from 20 bolts of cloth and [-] silver to [-] bolts of cloth and [-] silver.

In other words, Zhang Jian made a lot of concessions on this matter. In the end, although he did not completely eliminate the matter of paying tribute, he only accepted a little symbolically, showing that the Liao Kingdom is still stronger than the Song Dynasty fact.

Jiang Gu happily returned to the palace, and while reporting the matter to Zhao Zhen, he was also claiming credit for himself.
