Chapter 788: Paper Money Frenzy (Part II)

The people of Datang want to implement the policy of paper money have already received the news, and the day after Comrade Li Er decided to implement paper money, the relevant news was already published in Datang Daily.

At first, the people were still very unable to understand the benefits of the implementation of paper money, after all, paper money in their opinion and copper money is no different, but compared to the people's incomprehension, the merchants are very happy, and the same as the bank, the businessmen have seen something closely related to them, so they are waiting for the bank to open, and then deposit all their property into it, and earn an interest.

And some businessmen who have failed are waiting for banks to open so that they can lend them a good turnaround.

On the second day after the bank was built, the opening ceremony of the bank was intensified under the instruction of Li Er.

On the day of the opening, just after dawn, the people surrounded the gate of the bank, and 90 percent of them came to see the excitement, after all, they had not yet figured out whether to deposit their money in the bank.

But among the crowd, there is also a special group, that is, the wealthy businessmen in Chang'an City, who have already moved their property to the gate of the bank, waiting for the bank to open and deposit the money.

At first, there was nothing, everyone just waited honestly. But when more people gathered, and the merchants' boxes were also more, a wind of comparison was formed.

"Hey, shopkeeper Wang, you can also save money."

"That's natural, and so is Shopkeeper Li? Not to mention anything else, I feel comfortable when this money is put in Datang Bank. ”

"Haha, I'm afraid that Shopkeeper Wang, you didn't feel comfortable by putting the money in the bank, I'm afraid it's because you can make a lot of money by putting your big boxes in the bank." Shopkeeper Li said with a smile.

When Shopkeeper Li said this, the onlookers also laughed.

"Haha, Shopkeeper Li's words are to the point, but I don't think the money brought by Shopkeeper Li today seems to be much, could it be that Shopkeeper Li can't trust my Datang bank?" Shopkeeper Wang looked at the boxes behind Shopkeeper Li that were less than ten in number, and asked strangely.

"That's not it, it's just that there's only so much money in the next place."

"Oh? How so? Shopkeeper Li, you are one of the best businessmen in Chang'an City. The shopkeeper said strangely.

"Hey, I've recently bought a steam car with a lot of money to pull goods, don't you know, where the steam car burns coal, it's just money, no, there are so many left." Shopkeeper Li also smiled bitterly.

"I said, I also invested in a few steam cars, but after all, it is not as big as your family's business, but in my opinion, this steam car has brought much more than it has been put in."

"That's natural, otherwise we wouldn't have done it, would we?"

After the two finished speaking, they looked at each other, and then laughed.

Businessmen were discussing the bank, and ordinary people were no exception.

"Eh, brother, are you going to deposit money in the bank today?"

"That's natural, it's been a long time since the newspaper said that I wanted to keep the money in the bank, and I wanted to see what the paper money looked like."

"Then you still want to open it, I'm here to exchange a few banknotes today, in case that thing can't be used, I'll admit it."

Hearing this person say this, the people in the crowd who had already been planted by Zhang Nan crowded to the person and said, "What you said, could it be that the emperor's personal order can still be fake?" As for your three melons and two dates, can the emperor still be greedy for your money? ”

"That's it, this is a thing of the imperial court, how can the imperial court be greedy for our money?"

The people all agreed, and the person who didn't want to save money at the beginning immediately blushed.

"Eh, the emperor is here, the emperor is here!" I don't know who shouted in the crowd, attracting everyone's attention.

At this time, Comrade Li Er slowly came to the door of the bank in his car, and after the car stopped, Liu Bing hurriedly got down from the co-pilot, and then opened the door for Comrade Li Er.

Li Er slowly stepped out of the car, and the people saluted Li Er when they saw this.

Looking at the people who were lying around him, Li Er felt a sense of satisfaction in his heart, and after looking around, Comrade Li Er said: "Everyone get up, I came here today, I also came to see this bank, and by the way, I saved some money in the bank." ”

As soon as Li Er said this, the people all whispered, and even Comrade Li Er came here to save money, so what else did they have to worry about?

Zhang Nan waited until Comrade Li Er had finished the work of being close to the people before he appeared and came to Comrade Li Er's side.

"Your Majesty, it's all ready, just sit over there and wait for a while." After Zhang Nan finished speaking, he pointed with his hand, and following the direction of Zhang Nan's finger, Comrade Li Er saw a chair.

Li Er nodded, then walked to the chair and sat down. After Li Er sat down, Zhang Nan began the opening ceremony.

Zhang Nan looked up at the sky, then at the crowd that was already surrounded by water, and then shouted: "I announce that the opening ceremony of the Datang Royal Bank will start now, the first item, raise the national flag!" ”

Before Zhang Nan's words fell, there was a sound of neat steps in the distance, and the people followed the sound to find that a team of sergeants were walking towards the gate of the bank in military uniforms.

Seeing this, the people spontaneously made way for this special group of soldiers.

This team is the honor guard of the three services that Zhang Nan picked out from the military academy, in fact, at first Zhang Nan forgot that there was such a thing as a salute soldier, but later remembered that Zhang Nan picked out a few top queues from the military academy to form the honor guard of the three services.

After all, on the first day of every month, Li Er has to hold a flag-raising ceremony at the gate of the main hall of Taiji Palace, and this flag-raising ceremony cannot be moved, whether it is windy or rainy, the flag-raising ceremony is held as usual.

In addition to the first day of the new year every month, Comrade Li Er will take hundreds of civil and military officials to watch the flag-raising, and the honor guard of the three armed forces will also take neat steps to raise the flag every morning on weekdays. Wait until dusk to lower the flag.

Therefore, the flag-raising can be said to be very familiar to the members of the honor guard of the three services. This group of soldiers from the navy, army, and air force marched under the flagpole.

Zhang Nan shouted with all his strength: "Salute!" ”
