Handan City, the northern suburbs of Zhang Er Bank North Suburbs Branch. This is the third largest commercial bank in Handan City, which is jointly formed by a number of businessmen, with a registered capital of more than 1 million republican yuan. The strength is still strong.

The bank's loans are mainly focused on factories and enterprises. Because there are quite a lot of small factories in the northern suburbs, if you look closely, they seem to have evolved from some handicraft workshops, but there are also some small businesses that are constantly expanding, and the development of these enterprises is very conducive to the development of the Republican Army.

"Nan shopkeeper. Long time no see. How's business going? Shopkeeper Xue asked with a smile in his fists.

"Business is okay. In short, I am busy, no, come to the bank to see if the funds have arrived, the bank has a telegram, which is convenient, an encrypted telegram, you can indicate whether it has arrived, it is really convenient. Shopkeeper Xue said.

"That's right, that's right. The same is true of my cloth business, the flower cloth market has been very good recently, and many people in Luoyang are buying, but those of us who open factories are different from those who do business, and their funds still need to be returned. But I can't afford to lose my old patron. There is no way but to pay in advance, but I am afraid that they will not send it to me, so I also come to see and look at the funds in the account, I am more assured. The shopkeeper of the south said.

The shopkeeper was a cloth merchant, but his cloth was flower cloth, and by relying on blending technology, the Republican Army could make more cloth of better quality. However, the color of the cloth in this era is very simple, and only dyed cloth can appear in this era. But there is no such thing as an incarnation. The ingenuity of the craftsmen played such a point, and they invented the cylinder printing machine through the principle of printing newspapers, which gave rise to the flower cloth. As soon as the flower cloth was listed. It immediately caused a sensation and the market sales were very good. This is a brand new fist product for the Republican Army, and such a product represents the generation of their new power.

However, at this time, the cylinder printing machine is still hydraulic and manpower. It's not too efficient. With the overprinting technology, the color is relatively simple, mainly black, or red, because these two colors are the easiest to obtain. I want to get other colors. For example, some special purples. Or green. Blue. These require some special techniques to achieve.

In terms of fancy, there are more sleeves, so as to attract some new customers, and all this is inseparable from technology. If they didn't have the technology, they wouldn't be able to make such a good product to do such a thing.

The transfer of money between two businessmen is a new technique developed by the bank. Banks found that with the increase in trade. Transferring money between different places has become extremely cumbersome. What people had to do before, after getting a check or money order from the bank, they still need to return, and the bank does not have the function of transferring money. But after the appearance of some places leading to the telegraph. The transfer can happen. The conversion of funds between banks and telegrams can be achieved through the conversion of passwords between banks, but these bank transfers are limited to places where the telegraph is widespread, and it is difficult to achieve such a situation where there is no telegraph, because many situations require them to deal with properly to solve such problems.

This is also the most discussed place between the two businessmen, the difference between factories and trade is that they need to return the funds in time to put them into production, if they can't do this, in many cases, they will not do a lot of things very well.

"This has a bank transfer, which is really aspect, just hand over the bill to the other party, and we will inquire. It's a lot easier than doing business in the past. And it's a lot faster, too. The shopkeeper said with a smile.

"Yes, yes, if it weren't for these technologies, we wouldn't have wanted to make so much money in a year." Shopkeeper Xue said.

Banks have to keep expanding new businesses. in order to continue to expand their customer base. This has been proved countless times, such a business as transfer, the reason why it can be carried out, to a large extent, is because of the needs of enterprises, as well as trade, banks have found that if the speed of capital turnover is accelerated, the bank's profitability will increase, only by continuously reducing the rest time of funds in ordinary times, and increasing the active time of funds, in order to maximize the profitability of the bank. The move is also for the sake of the banks themselves.

"Get down on your fucking back, don't move. Whoever moves, I will kill him. "That's when it happened. Three robbers with masked faces rushed in. The coats they wear. The coat was a good cover for the muskets in their hands, and the ** part of the musket was sawn off. This greatly reduces the extent of the musket, and not only that, but there are other places, such as the barrel, which is also treated so that it is very convenient for them to hide. Such a situation for robbers. But it's very convenient.

All the people saw the robbers, and they were helpless to lie on the floor.

"Don't move, we only rob the bank, the loss is the bank's, your money, we don't rob. They all lay on the ground honestly. One of the robbers said. All the people were lying on the ground. Wealthy businessmen have bodyguards, even the businessmen themselves, and they will carry a pistol with them, so that their situation can be much better. But want to make their situation better. It can only be immovable. Because these robbers are really going to shoot, and when they are killed, they are killed. They're outlaws.

With the growth of banks, large amounts of money are becoming more and more concentrated. At the same time, on the other hand, robbers will also develop. Those who have the ability to become the leaders of the imperial court, and there are also some outlaws who need to make some achievements. If you do. Robbing a bank, the businessman's money turns very fast. And it's a lot of trouble. The development of the bank's bill business has rapidly reduced the likelihood of merchants carrying large amounts of cash, which is not good news for robbers, as they are much less likely to succeed in their looting. The merchant's capital decreases. But the bank's money increased rapidly, so they targeted the bank.

It is the safest thing to do to rob cash trucks, because they are easy to ambush, but the cash trucks are very well guarded, and sometimes the IRA will send garrisons to provide special protection. This is also a way to protect financial security. In such a situation, robbing a bank seems to be a good choice.

Under the pressure of the gun, the bank staff reluctantly put some banknotes into the bag.

"There are gendarmes. Remove. One of the bandits said loudly. The two men quickly left the place with their bags.

"It's all for Grandpa to remember. Grandpa is called the eldest ** son. With that, the three of them ran out.

"Bang. Bang. Bang. Shots were fired. The streets were suddenly chaotic. The gendarmes quickly entered the alert situation, and a shootout broke out between the two sides. But the other party was obviously prepared and ran away on horseback. This is the process of a bank robbery. Swift, premeditated. Despite the presence of the gendarmerie, it was not possible to avoid such a thing.

Li Jiazhuang, War Department.

"This Zhang ** is really rampant. It's this month. The fifth time I committed the crime. Shang Wu said with annoyance. The robbery of the bank by the robbers has seriously disturbed the public order, and in such a situation, such a series of circumstances will bring about an extremely serious situation, and this situation will directly lead to their situation in the most severe state.

"We also want to change this situation, but unfortunately, many things, in fact, are not easy for us to do." Jia Xu said.

You cannot rely solely on the gendarmerie to maintain law and order. In fact, the gendarmerie has been divided into two kinds, one is specifically aimed at the military, and the other is specifically aimed at the law and order situation, and the gendarmerie in Handan is actually evolving into the police. But they are, after all, non-professional. When dealing with such a law and order situation, they still have some shortcomings.

"The most important thing is that this Zhang **zi has led to a very bad influence, that is, some people have begun to take shortcuts, they rob banks, and such things are still difficult to do. Plus the surrounding social unrest. And the convenience of muskets provided them with such a help, and our economic activity was developing rapidly. It is inevitable that some people will become rich and some people will remain poor. Jia Xu said helplessly.

"We have too little security. We need the police, we need to maintain law and order, and at the same time we need to have local magistrates in the localities, so that they have a detailed understanding of local security. Shang Wu said.

"But it's a big expense, and the local government won't do that." Jia Xu said.

"We had to step up some of these things like that. In this way, it will be of great help to them. After all, this will seriously affect the development of economic activities, and we cannot allow businessmen to carry out business activities under such a threat to their lives all the time, which will have a huge adverse effect on them, and we should see the existence of such an impact. Shang Wu said.

"Well, I agree, but the pay may not be too high. You know, in a lot of places, the finances of local governments are still unfavorable. Jia Xu said.

"But we can't go deep into these places, so we have to let them do it." Shang Wu said.

Localities may appoint local magistrates. At the same time, the establishment of state police and federal police in some of the larger regions was an initial idea of Shangwu, but it was also part of the financial expenditure, since security was also an important part of economic activity.
