In the bank hall, there are bustling crowds everywhere, even if there are special people to maintain order, but there are too many people, and the dozen or so counters arranged before can't be received at all, and now the whole bank is going crazy.

"Pony, there are too many of them!" In the corridor on the second floor, Xu Jingzong said to Li Xiu with joy and some worry, since the first real customer, that is, the middle-aged businessman, came in to handle the mortgage, it immediately caused a great sensation, and as a result, no one dared to enter the bank before, and a large number of people poured in in the blink of an eye, and the bank couldn't accept it for a while.

"It's not surprising, Chang'an City is so big, there are naturally a lot of people who have a demand for the bank, especially when the middle-aged businessman went out just now, it should have confirmed to everyone that the bank can indeed lend money, and the interest rate is very low, this news came out, naturally let those who are in need all come, but you see that almost all of the people who come to do business below are lending, and there are not many people who save money, I am now a little worried about whether the copper money prepared by the bank is enough?" Li Xiu said very calmly at this time.

"This is also, just mortgaging something, you can exchange for much-needed money, only the Changsheng Treasury can do it before, but the interest of the Changsheng Treasury is too high, ordinary people to borrow is simply to quench their thirst, and only the bank opened by our imperial court is really for the sake of the people!" Xu Jingzong nodded thoughtfully at this time, and finally did not forget to boast.

Now those who come to the bank are to borrow, of course, the loan must need something to mortgage, but the bank does not accept everything, generally only accept some gold, silver and jade and the like, these are very convenient, directly let Mr. Palm Eye estimate the price, of course, since it is a mortgage, it is certainly impossible to follow the market price, for example, a jade is worth 100 yuan, but the mortgage to the bank can generally only borrow 60 to 80 yuan, and there is a time limit for repayment, if the loan is not paid off within this period, the mortgaged thing will be publicly auctioned by the bank.

However, some mortgage things are more troublesome, such as houses, shops, etc., the valuation of these real estate is very troublesome, and the bank needs to send someone to check on the spot, which is more time-consuming, but the value of the house and the store is higher, suitable for large mortgages, so many people want to mortgage the house or shop, and as a result, in the afternoon, all the people who can be sent out by the bank are sent out, and finally have to suspend the business of not moving the mortgage.

"Everything seems to be in order during the simulated operation, but when it comes to the actual opening, there are still a lot of problems!" Li Xiu looked at the still crowded hall below, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion at the moment, at this time, the little officials on the bank counter had already begun to change shifts, which was also specially ordered by Li Xiu, so that the first batch of small officials could eat and rest, after all, there were too many people today, and it was estimated that they were all tired.

"Donkey, let's go eat something too, I see that although there are many people today, we are also very well prepared, there should be no chaos!" At this moment, I saw Xu Jingzong also speak, they came here early this morning, and they only ate a little bit of breakfast in a hurry, and now that it is afternoon, they naturally feel hungry.

Li Xiu also felt hungry when he heard this, so he came to the back of the bank, the hall of the bank is only a part of the whole bank, and there are special living areas, treasury areas, etc., it can be said that the whole bank is a yamen, and there is also a canteen in the living area.

Although Li Xiu's mouth is very tricky, but he doesn't like to be special, the Ministry of Agriculture used to be close to home, so he likes to eat at home, but like this situation now, he will not be picky, so he took the prepared dishes and chopsticks, and then followed others to line up, Xu Jingzong saw that Li Xiu was also queuing, of course he didn't dare to be special, so he also followed honestly.

"Why are you here, donkey, please be in front of your subordinates!" Just as Li Xiu stood still, he didn't expect the person in front of him to turn around, and he was also startled when he saw him, and hurriedly got out of the way.

Coincidentally, the person in front of Li Xiu actually knew that it was Yuan Gongyu, who forced the eldest grandson Wuji to death in history, and Li Xiu hesitated to accept him at the beginning, so he was naturally very impressed.

"No need, it's good if you're in front, I remember your name is Yuan Gongyu, right?" Li Xiu did not accept Yuan Gongyu's concession, but asked with a smile.

"I didn't expect the colt to remember his subordinates." Yuan Gongyu heard Li Xiu say his name, and he was a little flattered at the moment, after all, he was just a small official who had just entered the bank, and there must be at least hundreds of people like him in the entire bank, although he left some impressions on Li Xiu when he was recruited last time, but in his opinion, with Li Xiu's identity, he was afraid that he would soon forget about himself.

"Hehe, you performed very well in the recruitment last time, and in the later training, I heard that your performance was also very good." When Li Xiu said this with a smile, he suddenly paused and then said, "How is it, do you feel tired today?" ”

"Thank you for your concern, our bank has just opened today, and it's normal to be busy, and my subordinates are young, so I don't feel too tired!" Yuan Gongyu saw Li Xiu talking to himself so kindly, and replied even more sincerely at the moment, in fact, he also felt very tired now, but in order to leave a good impression on Li Xiu, he naturally couldn't show it.

"That's good, work hard, the bank will develop in the future, you are all veterans of our bank, and there will be a broader future waiting for you in the future!" Li Xiu patted Yuan Gongyu on the shoulder and encouraged, he didn't just say these words to Yuan Gongyu, but also to the other officials around him who had noticed him.

When he spoke, it was Yuan Gongyu's turn to eat, today's lunch was very rich, two meats, two vegetables and soup, in addition to staple foods such as rice and steamed buns, Li Xiu finished eating with Xu Jingzong, and then came to the front hall, but now even if it is past noon, the people in the hall do not seem to have decreased much.

In addition, Li Xiu was also very keenly aware that among the people who came to do business, the number of people who saved money had increased a little in the morning, and many people were asked to carry bags or boxes full of copper coins to come in, and then open accounts and deposit them in their own names.

"Huh? How did he get here? But at this moment, Li Xiu suddenly found an acquaintance in the crowd, and he couldn't help but say to himself in surprise.
