"What nonsense are you talking about?" A scolding came from the doorway.

Everyone was startled, and when they looked back, they saw the big shopkeeper Zhang Deming standing at the door with a wooden face, and hurriedly got up and said respectfully: "I've seen the big shopkeeper." ”

Zhang Deming glanced at everyone coldly, and scolded: "Before the gang broke up, you left all the rules of the money village behind?" Who is allowed to drink in the afternoon? ”

Yang Kaitai hurriedly smiled and said, "In the past few days, we have nothing to ......do with it. ”

"Look at what you look like, what kind of system have you become?" Zhang Deming counted two sentences before he said: "Hurry up and wash and change clothes, follow me to the bank mansion, and you don't need to go if you are drunk." ”

Everyone just started drinking, it was okay at all, and they were going to the bank mansion when they heard it, and Shi Mingxing, the third shopkeeper, asked boldly: "This account has not been finished yet, what are you going to do in the bank mansion?" ”

"Forgot the rules after drinking a little wine? Is this what you should ask? Zhang Deming scolded angrily, turned around and left.

Sairong Lane, Bank Mansion.

Under the eaves of the high-style carved and exquisitely carved door, the plaque of the bank hall has been taken off and replaced with the plaque of the head office of Yuanqi Bank, however, because Yuanqi is also named after the bank, the name of the bank mansion has been inherited.

After 200 years of continuous expansion and repair, the bank mansion covers a wide area, easy to know that he likes to be quiet, did not want the original courtyard where Liang Jiemin lived, but picked the east side of the courtyard - Banyan Garden, because there is a 50-year-old big banyan tree in the yard, the yard he likes, but the name does not like, so he asked someone to change the banyan garden to Rong Garden, taking the meaning of Rong Naida.

Rong Yuan main room is a row of three rooms, the east is the study, the west is the bedroom, the middle is the living room, the study is open on both sides of the window, are inlaid with Western glass, the lighting is quite good, the room should be furnished to the desk bookcase as small as the paper, pen and inkstone, all of them are extremely exquisite, easy to know contentment, although they do not know the goods, but also know that these things are expensive, quite unaccustomed, fortunately, from thrift to luxury, but a few days, he gradually got used to it.

"Young Master." Li Wang reported at the door of the study: "A group of shopkeepers from Hengtai Qianzhuang are here. ”

Yi Zhishu put down his pen and raised his head and ordered: "Invite the shopkeeper and the big guys in, and the other apprentices are waiting in the shade of the tree." So saying, he got up and walked out of the study to the door to greet him.

Seeing that Yi Zhizhi came out to greet him, Zhang Deming's heart was hot, and he hurriedly hurried a few steps, bowed down, and said, "Zhang Deming has seen the big shopkeeper." ”

Later, Yang Kaitai, Shi Mingxing, Song Wenxing and others hurriedly shook their heads in unison and said in unison: "I've seen the big shopkeeper." ”

Yi Zhicontent returned the salute and said with a smile: "Everyone, please come to the house." ”

After entering the house, everyone is a little restrained, today's Yuanqi is not the previous Yuanqi, today's Yuanqi dominates the Guangzhou money bank, the strength has expanded sharply, it is definitely the largest money village in the Qing Dynasty, Yi Zhizhi This is the big shopkeeper is naturally rising with the tide, even Liang Jiemin of the previous bank hall and the shopkeeper of Shanxi ticket number are also shorter in front of him, not to mention them.

Seeing that everyone didn't dare to sit down, Yi Zhizu sat directly on the main seat, and said with a smile: "You are all Yuanqi's staff now, you don't have to be restrained, you all sit." ”

Hearing this, Zhang Deming bowed, and only took the lead in sitting down after thanking the seat, and everyone sat down one after another, but they didn't dare to sit down, and sat on half of their buttocks one by one, seeing this situation, Yi Zhishu couldn't help but be a little funny, and immediately coughed lightly, and said: "I invited you all today, but there is something important to discuss......." ”

Zhang Deming hurriedly arched his hand and said: "If the shopkeeper of Yida has something, just give orders." ”

Yi Zhishu said straight to the point: "There are more than 400 large and small money houses in Guangzhou, and after the unification of Yuanqi, naturally there is no need for so many money banks... What to do with the extra money? ”

As soon as they heard this, Yang Kaitai and the others' hearts immediately sank, they were really afraid of something, Yi Zhishu specially called them, and they were so polite, did they really want to dismiss them?

After a pause, Yi Zhicontent continued: "It is not easy to cultivate the shopkeeper of Qianzhuang, Yuanqi will naturally not let it go, abandon it, not to mention that Yuanqi will not stop here after the unification of Guangzhou, and will continue to expand, the ticket number can still be connected to the world, why can't Yuanqi be able to communicate the world?"

In the next year, Yuanqi will unify the money bank in Guangdong Province, and then, it will continue to expand to other provinces, please come today, it is to discuss the expansion of other provinces, Xiguan money village is lined up, Hengtai money village can be one of the six major money banks in Xiguan, your ability is undoubted, so, I want you to go to Nanjing City. ”

The room was quiet, and everyone thought that they had heard it wrong, that Yuan Qi would dominate the money bank in Guangdong Province within a year, and then continue to expand to other provinces, like a ticket number, to the world!

After coming back to his senses, Zhang Deming hurriedly bowed and said: "Please also ask the shopkeeper of Yida to think twice, the reason why Yuan Qi can gain a foothold in Xiguan and unify the money bank in Guangzhou is because there is strong financial support from the thirteen banks behind him, and there is the support of the governor. ”

Yi Zhizu nodded slightly: "Shopkeeper Zhang is not unreasonable, but sending you to Nanjing is to prepare for Yuanqi's march into the land of Liangjiang, you don't need to play the signboard of Yuanqi Branch, just take the name of the bank, according to the rules of Nanjing money, honestly, and run the bank."

Your task is to base yourself on the Nanjing Money Bank, make friends with the treasurers and bank staff of the Nanjing Money Bank, collect and understand the local economy and commodity flows, and then recruit a large number of local people as apprentices, learn the local dialect, understand the local customs, and prepare for future expansion. ”

Listening to these words, Zhang Deming and others were secretly relieved, this errand is much easier, although it is to Nanjing, life is not familiar, but it is also the emperor far away, no one can care, life may be much better than in Guangzhou, and Nanjing has been prosperous since ancient times, not necessarily inferior to Guangzhou.

After a pause, Yi Zhishu continued: "The land of the two rivers, Yuanqi is determined to win, after consolidating Guangdong, the next target is the two rivers, not only you who are sent to the two rivers, but also other people, even Nanjing City is not only you, everyone has equal opportunities and fair competition."

After Yuanqi unified the two rivers, you must be rewarded for meritorious deeds, and you will be the shopkeeper of a store, the shopkeeper of a city, the shopkeeper of a place or the chief shopkeeper of a province, depending on the size of your merits. ”

Hearing this, everyone was very excited, this is a rare opportunity, once you miss this time, I am afraid that it will be difficult to meet such a good opportunity in this life, Zhang Deming hurriedly got up and said: "The big shopkeeper is so promoted, and the inferior will never dare to live up to the trust of the big shopkeeper!" ”

Yang Kaitai, Shi Mingxing, Song Wenxing and others hurriedly got up and said in unison: "I would never dare to be promoted by the great treasurer!" ”

"Okay." Yi Zhi said calmly: "Tomorrow the tea market will open, you should hurry up and collect the loan, and give you a month and a half." With that, he stood up and said, "Let's go, go meet the guys outside." ”
