Chapter 134 Is there really a chance?
It has to be said that with Ying Zheng's edict and Li Si's supervision, all departments cooperated very well.

Within half an hour, the shop has been found.

Order someone to invite Mo Ran and hand him the drawn drawings.

This matter is now the top priority, and Mo Ran will not neglect it.

Gather all the people under the door and start working overnight.

Fortunately, the counter is very simple, and it was completely completed on the second day.

Early in the morning, people from all counties and counties around Xianyang gathered at the gate of the city.

Looking at the notices on the wall and whispering.

"What did the court say again?"

"I don't know, is there anyone who can read and tell us?"

"It's just..."

In the chaos, the guard standing next to the notice shouted in a deep voice.

"quiet!"

Seeing that the people were all quiet, they read aloud.

"Notice: Starting tomorrow, the 'Royal Bank' in Xianyang City will open. Anyone can deposit money in their hands, and [-]% interest will be given every month..."

After finishing the reading, the sergeant stood beside him motionless.

The people looked at each other in blank dismay, and the scene fell into silence.

After a while, the crowd exploded.

"This means that the money will be deposited in that bank, and the court will give the money for free every month?"

A young man heard this and said softly.

"How is it possible? How could the court be so stupid?"

"That's right, I've only heard that the imperial court collects taxes from us, but I've never heard that it will give us money!"

"But it says 'Royal Bank' on it, just like the previous 'Royal Salt Company', it shouldn't be a lie, right?"

"Do you want to ask?"

"Walk around, let's talk about whether to save money or not, first find out..."

As soon as these words came out, no matter what their thoughts were, everyone headed towards the bank together.

In the crowd, two young men dressed as scholars also walked forward with the crowd.

When they arrived, they saw Fusu and Liu Bai sitting at the gate of the bank.

An old man was asking, and Fusu answered gently.

Liu Bai always felt that this person looked familiar, but after a closer look, he realized that this was the old man who was caught by Wang Li when the salt shop opened and bought and sold by force.
It has to be said that after what happened last time, the old man has great trust in the royal family.

After the others listened to the notice read by the soldiers, they were still discussing in place.

He had already instinctively stepped forward and came straight to the bank.

"Old man, we don't open until tomorrow."

The old man smiled honestly and said.

"I know that, I just wanted to ask, what did the notice say? The old man didn't quite understand it!"

The people around all closed their mouths and pricked up their ears.

Fusu smiled gently, gave the old man a stool, and told him to sit down.

Pointing to the bank behind him, he smiled.

"The royal family opened this bank just for the convenience of the common people. Old man, do you have spare money?"

The old man rubbed his hands awkwardly, lowered his head and said softly.

"Yes, there are some, but not many..."

With a slight smile, Fu Su comforted him.

"Old Bomo, be nervous. It's like this. For example, if you have ten copper coins in your hand, they can be deposited in our bank at that time, and we will give you the interest of one copper coin every month."

"Whether it's the interest or the principal of the ten copper coins you deposited, you can withdraw it at any time, but after withdrawal, there will be no interest..."

Fearing that he might not understand, Fusu tried to explain it briefly to him.

The old man opened his mouth and looked at Fusu dully.

Although he was illiterate, he could still count such simple arithmetic.

Give one copper coin a month, twelve months a year, isn't that twelve copper coins?

Doesn't this mean that if he puts ten copper coins into the bank, he can take out 22 copper coins a year later?

This, this, this... Wouldn't the court lose money?

"My lord, the old man would like to ask, is there anything the imperial court can't take care of?"

Fu Su originally thought that he had explained so clearly that after the common people understood it, they would definitely go home to get the money and save it tomorrow.

Who would have thought that the old man's sudden words made him a little confused for a moment.

"Old man, why do you say that? The court, the court is very good!"

The old man nodded and said.

"I know that the imperial court is good, but I just want to ask, is there something serious about our imperial court?"

Fusu glanced at Liu Bai, shook his head after thinking for a moment.

"No, the imperial court is very good!"

Hearing his denial, the old man became anxious instead.

"My lord, you must be a high official in the imperial court, right? Please go back and tell your majesty that if the imperial court needs money, we can do it without interest! Don't open this bank again, otherwise, if you lose money later, then Does the Salt Shop have to close too?"

"My lord, it's not easy for ordinary people. The imperial court has recently opened a salt shop and issued Qinli. Our lives are getting better. If such a good imperial court is tossed away, ordinary people will not be able to live..."

Fusu looked at the tears in the old man's eyes and became even more confused.

What's the matter?
Didn't my brother-in-law say that people will save money as long as they see benefits?
Why are you talking now, my Great Qin court is almost gone?

Although the old man couldn't quite understand what he said under the excitement, Liu Bai at the side understood it.

With a slight smile, he looked at the old man and said.

"Don't worry, old man, what you are worried about won't happen, the court is fine, and there will be no troubles, and the salt shop will continue to operate..."

"In the future, the life of our common people will only get better and better!"

The old man looked up, hey, he knows this noble man, isn't he the one who sold him salt last time?
Pushing away Fusu who was blocking the way, the old man grabbed Liu Bai's hand and looked at him eagerly.

"Really, really? My lord, you sold me salt last time, do you still remember?"

Liu Bai patted the old man's hand and said with a smile.

"Of course I remember, last time my subordinates caught you in without knowing the severity, please forgive me!"

The old man blushed slightly and waved his hands.

"It's okay, it's okay, I still want to thank him, don't punish him! I just want to ask, is what you just said true? Is the salt shop really not closed? The court also..."

Speaking of this, the old man realized that he seemed to have said something that should not be said.

In a moment of anxiety, seeing that the two nobles in front of him did not intend to blame, they were relieved.

"Don't worry, you don't trust others, don't you trust me?"

Believe it, of course he does.

It was this noble man in front of him who sold him the white snow salt, how could he not believe it?

With a simple and honest smile, the old man said repeatedly.

"Okay, okay, okay, then I'll come back tomorrow, come back tomorrow!"

"Old man, remember to bring money and photo stickers when you come tomorrow!"

Nodding his head, the old farmer separated from the crowd and hurried away.

The onlookers got the answer they wanted and gradually dispersed.

At the end of the crowd, two young men dressed as scholars stood there.

The younger one frowned and asked.

"My lord, isn't the Great Qin court crazy? In this way, they won't have to pay for death?"

Zhang Liang knocked on the Shutong's head to tell him to shut up, then turned around and headed for the old Han Xungui's mansion.

In fact, he hadn't figured out why they would do it.

But he knew that since Liu Bai came forward, he would definitely not pay.

What worries him even more now is the scene he saw just now.

A commoner, in a profitable situation, the first thing that comes to mind is the imperial court.

A son-in-law just said a few words casually, and made the people believe him wholeheartedly.

With such a united Daqin, do they really have a chance?
