Sui Dynasty: I, Yang Guang, am both scrupulous and stable

Chapter 253 Permanent Neutrality
Chen Shujian, who returned to Nanchen, had no choice but to conflict with the sent general Xiao Moke for the sake of his status and power.

The two refused to give in. Chen Shujian sent people to the capital to explain to Chen Shubao that he did not write the petition about the demon concubine. However, Chen Shubao asked him to go to the capital in person to explain. Chen Shujian directly resisted the order and disrespected it.

Xiao Moke and Chen Shujian confronted each other on the bank of Poyang Lake, seeing that chaos was about to break out.

……

The bank in Jiangling City officially opened today, named [Xiliang Bank].

As the boss of the bank, Xiao Zhen stepped onto the stage amidst the noise of gongs and drums and told everyone about the role of Xiliang Bank.

Everyone knows the basic functions of lending and storage.

People who came to see the excitement mainly wanted to see if there was anything different about making this bank so grand.

A fast horse rushed from a distance, and the crowd moved out of the way to let the horse in. While riding on the horse, a Xiliang soldier held up the imperial edict and said to Xiao Xuan: "Your Highness, an imperial edict has arrived."

"Your Majesty has decreed that no one, including the imperial court, can check the money deposited in Xiliang Bank at will. If there is any corrupt money, it needs to be verified by the Jingzhao Mansion in accordance with the rules and procedures, and can only be checked after His Majesty personally issues an edict. , ensuring that all Xiliang Bank deposits are extremely safe."

Everyone was stunned. If the emperor issued this imperial edict, it would mean that the money in the bank would have to go through complicated procedures even if the court and the emperor wanted to check it. Of course, they didn't really believe it.

The onlookers started talking: "Really or not? Then isn't the money I save in it safe?"

"Is all the money saved by corrupt officials safe?"

"I don't quite believe it. Anyone who believes what the court says is mentally ill."

"That is to say, this money is only safe if it is in your own hands."

"If you put that little money, it will be safe wherever you put it. Who can hold on to three or five copper coins?"

While everyone was making a fuss, another fast horse galloped over, this time heading for Yang Guang.

"His Royal Highness the King of Jin, His Highness the King of Jin, His Majesty the Emperor has an order."

"read."

"The Emperor of the Sui Dynasty has an order to never interfere with the operation of Xiliang Bank and respects the decision-making of the Bank of Xiliang. The Empress of the Sui Dynasty has an order to deposit a thousand taels of gold in the Bank of Xiliang."

哗

The brief news brought great shock. The Emperor of the Sui Dynasty specifically said that he would not interfere with the Xiliang Bank. The Empress of the Sui Dynasty deposited money and came in. Could it be that even the royal family of the Sui Dynasty was so optimistic about the Bank of Xiliang?

Yang Guang smiled with satisfaction. He wanted to build Xiliang Bank into the Swiss bank of the world, the bank where the God of Gamblers used its promissory notes. It would use its absolute neutrality to attract wealthy businessmen from all over the world who had no sense of security in troubled times.

Perhaps the results will not be achieved overnight, but the imperial edict issued in the name of the two imperial courts of Xi Liang and Sui Dynasty is difficult to follow once it is said. There is always credibility and it will gradually attract customers, especially as the current situation becomes more turbulent. , the more uneasy people become, it is obviously the most reasonable solution to put their money in a more reliable place.

The Chinese must also have their own Swiss bank.

Xiao Cong asked Yang Guang cheerfully after the opening ceremony: "Do you really think people from Nanchen can save money in our Xiliang Bank?"

"Not necessarily, but even if we don't come, we won't lose anything, so why not do it?" Xiao Cong enjoyed the success. This matter was not harmful to Xiliang. Emperor Jinkouyu of the Sui Dynasty said that he would not interfere with Xiliang Bank. , then he must save face.

But he doesn't know what absolute neutrality is.

……

In the palace of Sui Dynasty
Queen Dugu happily sat next to the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, you said that Amo's idea of ​​​​Xiliang Bank is so amazing. How did he come up with it?"

Yang Jian was also very happy: "At first, I thought that it was too easy for him to put Chen Shujian back so easily, or that he lacked consideration. After all, Chen Shujian is the king of Changsha and belongs to the Nanchen clan. Even if he wants to put him back, At least ten thousand taels of gold are needed, but now that I think about it... hahaha, what a good boy, your thinking is different from ordinary people."

"Fortunately, Your Majesty, you trust him, even if you don't understand, you still let him do it. You and Amo and his son are really in tune with each other, and Amo is becoming more and more like you."

Queen Dugu took the opportunity to say good things about Yang Guang.

Yang Jian said slightly excitedly: "Amo released Chen Shujian to stir up chaos within Nanchen. Chen Shujian could only resist Chen Shubao for his own power. Chen Shubao could not let Chen Shujian continue to secretly develop his power through this fuse. Even if the two of them were short-lived, The civil war will not start openly, but the hidden dangers will accumulate, and there will definitely be civil strife in Nancheng within three years."

"Before the civil strife, people's hearts were already shaken. After the civil strife started, people were even more panicked. If we can take the opportunity to win over those squires, gentry, and nobles, for the sake of the safety of their money, if they really deposit their money in Xiliang Bank , then it might be possible for us to win against Nan Chen without a fight."

"Although the probability is very low, it is possible, hahahaha."

Queen Dugu spoke for Yang Guang again: "I know this child Amo best and has the most kind heart. The same goes for Meng Lan. Three sticks of incense must be placed on the Buddha statue at home every day. It is a good thing to offer it. I can think of nothing." This method should be done because we are afraid of seeing the lives of people in ruins, and we don’t want our Sui soldiers to fight. It’s really excellent.”

When she said this, Yang Jian also sighed: "Yes, Amo is really kind, and he treats his subordinates very kindly. The ministers who praised him lined up from the palace gate to the main hall every day, and he was also polite. So thoughtful, so good, so good.”

"Your Highness, Amo has done so many things, you should reward him more."

"well."

Yang Jian suddenly said: "By the way, it's been almost a month since Yun Zhaoxun gave birth to her second son. She gave birth to two sons for the prince. Since you live in the East Palace, you should go and see more."

Empress Dugu's eyes revealed a trace of disgust, but she responded with a smile: "I have ordered people to send silks and satins. They are all the best materials, and the rewards are generous. I have not missed anything. It's just a pity that the Crown Princess is inexplicable." She is seriously ill and is bedridden now. I plan to invite Mr. Sun to come and have a look."

Yang Jian knew this very well and said, "Let Lihua go and invite her."

In the end, Yang Lihua set off to the Jin Palace in person for the sake of accepting 800 taels of gold from the emperor and empress.

Yang Lihua had no choice but to go to Yang Guang's house and invite Sun Simiao to the East Palace. Sun Simiao hung a silk thread to diagnose his pulse. When he put his hand on the hanging thread, his face became gloomy.

At this time, Crown Princess Yuanshi was lying on the bed, with a thin face and dull eyes. According to the palace maid, the Crown Princess had been unable to eat every day for several days.

Looking at Sun Simiao's gloomy expression, Queen Dugu asked: "Mr. Sun, what's going on with the Crown Princess?"

"Happy pulse."

The queen was surprised and happy, and asked in a more serious tone: "Happy pulse?"

Sun Simiao nodded: "Yes, it's Ximai, but..."
