Five years of county magistrate, 100 million catties of grain shocked Li Shimin

Chapter 145 Establishment of Banks, Initial Deposit Services
Fang Yuan opened the letter.

The entry is a beautiful and clear handwriting.

The writing is neat and comfortable to read, and there is a kind of beautiful experience.

But looking at it, Fang Yuan's heart sank slowly.

Somewhat similar to what he thought, but also very different.

The first difference is that Pei Ji's retirement has not been confirmed, but has been postponed.

The second difference was that Xiao Rui was sure that he was failing in that aspect, but the marriage was not postponed because of this.

The letter also mentioned that it may be that Pei Ji had already guessed the reason for Xiao Rui's injury, and reached an alliance with Xiao Rui, which made his appointment postponed and the marriage as usual.

After reading the letter, Fang Yuan's heart became heavy, worried that Xiao Yu would know that he was also involved.

"Fang Yuan, what's wrong?"

Du Miaoyan frowned slightly and asked.

She hasn't gone back yet, and she plans to go back after dinner.

The letter from Princess Xiangcheng made Fang Yuan look bad, probably something happened.

She is not in Liaozhou City these days, she is with Fang Yuan, and has not received the letter from Princess Xiangcheng.

"Look at it."

Fang Yuan sent the letter to Du Miaoyan.

Then it was discovered that everyone hadn't started eating yet.

"Mrs. Li, please forgive me for the poor hospitality."

Fang Yuan looked at Madam Li and said.

"No, the food is pretty good."

Madam Li smiled.

"That's good, let's eat."

Fang Yuan nodded in satisfaction.

"It's time for dinner, I'm so hungry."

Xue Jiaoyan complained in a low voice.

She obviously ate a meal in advance, seeing Fang Yuan and others came back to eat again.

Even when she saw that there were guests just now, Fang Yuan hadn't moved her chopsticks yet, so she was too embarrassed to do so.

"Jiaoyan, did the giant eat it?"

Fang Yuan thought that Xue Jiaoyan hadn't had dinner yet.

So I looked at a dining table, but I didn't find the figure of the giant.

"The giant left Fang's mansion yesterday, saying he was doing some personal business."

Xue Jiaoyan stuffed the chicken leg into her mouth, and said squeak.

"The giant is going to do some private business?"

Fang Yuan was surprised, looked at Hong Xu and Qing Yan.

Since the establishment of the Mohist Research Institute, the giant has never done any private affairs.

"I don't know. Ask him and he won't tell."

Hong Xu shook her head and said.

Fang Yuan's heart became heavy.

If it's not a very urgent personal matter, Juzi probably won't wait until he comes back.

For Juzi, a widowed and lonely old man, is there any urgent personal matter?

"Fang Yuan, I don't want to eat, I'll go back to the Royal Trading Company first."

Du Miaoyan had already read the letter and said coldly.

"Alright, I'll ask Hongxu to pack it for you and take it home."

Fang Yuan didn't hold back.

Princess Xiangcheng should still have a letter sent to her by the Royal Firm.

"No need, I'll just go back and let someone fix it."

Du Miaoyan declined the kindness.

Say goodbye to Mrs. Li and others and leave.

Everyone continued to eat, occasionally chatting about topics.

After the meal, Fang Yuan asked Hongxu and Qingxie to arrange rooms for Mrs. Li and the three of them.

The night passed like that.

The next day, Fang Yuan arrived at the Governor's Mansion.

He found another pile of documents waiting for his correction.

Fang Yuan was a little speechless, and then started a new day's work.

In the past seven days, the development of Liaozhou City has grown visible to the naked eye.

Before he left, the soft mattress and toilet factories that Zhang San and Lu Xia guarded were established.

In addition, the cement road in Yushe County was officially opened, and more people from Yushe County commuted to and from Liaozhou City.

Two-thirds of the cement road in Pingcheng County has been built, and it will take about ten days to complete.

In the end, Fang Yuan discovered that three aristocratic families had moved to Liaozhou city.

Unlike Changsun Chong who bought a mansion here, they are the ones who moved in with their whole family, each with a population of about [-].

"Zhang San, what are these companies?"

"Why did you suddenly move to our city of Liaozhou?"

Fang Yuan called Zhang San to ask.

This is where he migrated from during his absence.

If the aristocratic family stays in one place, they will cultivate the place for a long time.

They won't just move somewhere unless there's a major policy change.

Or there are very big changes and so on, which will make them migrate to other places.

"The Zhouzun, Zhao, Qian, and Sun families are the three prominent families in Weizhou. Weizhou is close to the East Turks. They were worried that the war would affect them, so they moved."

"Actually, they are just a small branch that migrated to our Liaozhou, and also migrated to Bingzhou, Shizhou, Fenzhou, etc., moving away from East Turkic."

Zhang San has already conducted an investigation.

Some aristocratic families suddenly appeared in Liaozhou City, the reason must be found out, otherwise I don't know how to explain to Fang Yuan.

"Avoid war and preserve strength?!"

Fang Yuan understood this instantly.

A family made of iron, a dynasty of flowing water, these words are not without reason.

Every time there is a war, a powerful family will take refuge in an emergency, stay away from the place of war, and preserve its strength.

After the war is over, whether it is the victory of their own country or the victory of other countries, they are still strong.

For the stability of the place, the imperial court may have to please them to appease the local people, and they have become stronger because of this.

"Yes, do you want to drive them away?"

Zhang San nodded and said in a deep voice.

The imperial court is going to start a war, and these aristocratic families just don't want to help, and they take the lead in fleeing. Isn't it affecting the morale of the local people?

"Drive away?"

"No, it's solicitation!"

"Zhang San, go and invite them over."

Fang Yuan shook his head and said.

An idea came to mind.

"Zhou Zun, why?"

"They can abandon Weizhou today, and they can abandon us Liaozhou tomorrow."

Zhang San was puzzled and did not leave immediately.

He doesn't like those families who migrated because of the war.

"Zhang San, you have to understand one thing, they are from an aristocratic family."

"For most aristocratic families, they only focus on their own interests."

"There is only interest to discuss with them. Talking about feelings is like playing the piano against a cow."

Fang Yuan said in a deep voice.

"Then why recruit them?"

Zhang San seemed to understand somewhat, but not quite.

"Liaozhou is poor and weak. We want to develop, but we don't know how long it will take on our own."

"Since these aristocratic families have migrated here, why don't we use them to develop Liaozhou together with them?"

"At this time, they are hateful to the imperial court, but they are beneficial to us now. If we drive them away, won't we create opportunities for other states?"

Fang Yuan explained.

The migration of the family has become qualitative.

Either migrate to Liaozhou, or migrate to other states.

The atmosphere of the entire Tang Dynasty is like this, other states will not try to drive them away, at most the local aristocratic family is just guarding against them.

"The lower officials understand, this is to invite them."

Zhang San pondered for a moment, bowed deeply to Fang Yuan and left.

Soon, representatives of Zhao, Qian, and Sun, who had just moved to Liaozhou, were invited to the Governor's Mansion.

The representatives of the three families knew each other, and after entering the Governor's Mansion, they all became a little cautious.

As a foreign family, they all know to lower their mentality to develop.

After all, it is just a branch, not the strongest time.

And they don't know why Fang Yuan is looking for them.

Soon, they saw Fang Yuan.

"Greetings, Lord Inspector!"

The three respectfully saluted Fang Yuan.

"The three patriarchs are exempt, let's go inside and talk."

Fang Yuan smiled politely.

Invite three people into the conference room.

With that said, he walked into the conference room ahead of time.

The three of them looked at each other in surprise.

It's a little different from what they thought, and it seems friendly.

Soon, the three of them entered the meeting room, and the state officials left after preparing tea.

"First of all, on behalf of Liaozhou City, I welcome the three patriarchs to move here."

Fang Yuan smiled and said slowly.

"Thank you, Inspector Fang."

The three of them were determined.

Understand the general meaning of Fang Yuan.

"I wonder what the three of you think about Liaozhou?"

Fang Yuan looked at the three of them and said.

"Very good, there is a rising trend!"

"The cement road alone can bring huge wealth to Liaozhou."

"It is a place suitable for long-term development. In the future, it may surpass Bingzhou. Unfortunately, the land is a little smaller."

The three of you said something to each other, summarizing how they felt about Liaozhou City these days.

They have migrated here for a few days and inspected the situation in one city and three counties in Liaozhou.

Liaozhou City gave them the feeling that it was full of vitality, and there were all kinds of novelty things.

These novel things can greatly improve the development of Liaozhou and make Liaozhou develop at a higher speed.

The only thing that makes a few people have lingering fears is that Fang Yuan, governor of Liaozhou, recently exterminated several aristocratic families.

This was what the few of them were worried about before seeing Fang Yuan, and even considered whether to leave here.

But after seeing Fang Yuan, after seeing Fang Yuan's attitude, the three of them were all determined and determined to settle down.

"Thank you three for your affirmation of Liaozhou."

"I also want to build a majestic city that surpasses Taiyuan Mansion and is second only to Chang'an City!"

Fang Yuan said in a deep voice.

"Fang Inspector is proud!"

All three were taken aback, then saluted Fang Yuan.

Based on their observations of Liaozhou City, Liaozhou City may indeed surpass Bingzhou Taiyuan Prefecture.

But this is definitely not easy, it will take at least ten years, at that time Fang Yuan will definitely not be the governor of Liaozhou.

"I invite the three of you here this time because I want to invite the three of you to jointly develop Liaozhou City."

Fang Yuan said seriously.

State the real purpose of inviting them.

I just wanted to see what they thought of Liaozhou City.

"This... we need to think carefully."

The three said with a smile.

They migrated here more to avoid danger.

Weizhou is their base camp, and they will go back after the war.

There are only two possibilities of not going back. Weizhou fell, and the relocated place has huge development potential.

Obviously, Liaozhou has huge development potential, but they still have to think carefully.

After all, in some places, they can't develop if they want to, and they have to consider policies and local customs, etc.

"If the three are willing to develop in Liaozhou, I can give you policy support."

Fang Yuan glanced at them, guessing that they had scruples.

"May I ask what policy support Fang Fang has?"

The three of them were immediately tempted and asked.

"First, tax exemption for half a year!"

"Second, make sure you won't be bullied!"

"Third, the place you like, I will give you as much as possible."

"Fourth, you can make comments, and I will consider whether you can agree."

Fang Yuan said slowly.

"Fang Cishi is generous, I am willing to stay and develop!"

The three of them suddenly became angry.

The first three items are proper benefits.

The fourth article is even more sincere.

It can be seen that Fang Yuan really wanted them to stay and develop.

"I have a request, I hope the three of you can agree."

Fang Yuan nodded in satisfaction, and continued.

"Please speak clearly."

The three of them looked at each other and said seriously.

They were all worried that Fang Yuan would make an excessive request at this time.

"I hope that the three aristocratic families who also want to relocate can pass on the news that Liaozhou City will open its doors to welcome them."

Fang Yuan said in a deep voice.

Since the Zhao, Qian, and Sun families moved, there must be other families that would also move.

It is not only Weizhou that is close to East Turkic, but also Yunzhou and Shuozhou.

This is a rare opportunity, since Fang Yuan accepts Zhao, Qian and Sun's family, then he will make another wave of publicity.

"No problem, it must be conveyed!"

The three have no opinion at all.

Liaozhou is unfamiliar to them.

But if more familiar families can migrate here, this place will no longer be unfamiliar.

In a place that is no longer unfamiliar, if the local governor does not suppress it, then the local aristocratic family will no longer be a problem.

They are all aristocratic families, and they understand that sometimes the competition between aristocratic families is quite cruel, and they will suppress foreign aristocratic families and so on.

Because there are only so many local resources, and more people come to share, then fewer resources will be distributed to everyone.

So the three of them also hoped that more familiar families would migrate over.

"That's good, I suddenly thought of something, and I will tell you about it by the way."

"I will set up a bank in a few days, mainly for saving and borrowing money."

"Protect the money of saving customers in the name of the state, and lend money to those who need it in the name of the state."

Fang Yuan suddenly thought of Qian Zhuang.

Now, the bank has been built.

The rest is to officially open for business, and implement loan and deposit services.

It will take some time for the promotion of banknotes. First, promote the banks and attract people to save money, and then exchange them for banknotes.

"Fang Inspector Shi is wise!"

"What conditions do you need?"

The three became excited and asked with anticipation.

The migration of their families is mainly the migration of people and money.

People can walk by themselves, and relocation is not a problem, but money is not enough, it is very heavy and difficult to relocate.

Therefore, the farther they migrated, the harder it was to bring money, so that they did not have much money to migrate to Liaozhou, and more of them migrated to Bingzhou.

And Fang Yuan set up a bank to provide loan services to solve their problem of lack of money, and they felt that it was a very good decision to stay in Liaozhou for development.

"There are no conditions for saving money, just register the information, but borrowing money is definitely different, and it requires several aspects of investigation."

"First, you have to have deposited money in the bank, at least consistently; second, you need someone to guarantee it. Don't worry about this, I can guarantee it for you; third, check your reputation, that is, see if you owe money and don't pay it back. That's it."

Fang Yuan said slowly.

State the three main points.

Later let Zhang San and Qi Cao join the army and they will get along with each other in detail.

Anyway, there are no conditions for saving money, but there are strict checks for borrowing money, and you will not lend out casually.

"With the words of the governor Fang, I can rest assured."

"May I ask when the bank will be held, and I will definitely be there to celebrate."

The three looked at each other and said excitedly.

What Fang Yuan said is not a problem, they are all big families, not people who owe money and don't pay back.

"The day after tomorrow, I will send someone to invite you."

Fang Yuan pondered for a moment and said.

The bank has been planning for a long time and can be held at any time.
