Done! Your Majesty is going to prostitute me for free!

As soon as he finished speaking, there was warm applause from the audience. The merchants talked a lot and agreed with Liu Bangde's words.

Li Dexian couldn't help but nod his head, expressing his appreciation for Liu Bangde's speech. He turned to Lin Xiaofeng and said, "Okay, let's stop chatting. Let's get down to business. What do you want to talk to me about?"

Lin Xiaofeng restrained his smile and said seriously: "Actually, I came to you to discuss opening a bank."

"Money shop?" Li Dexian was stunned for a moment, then showed an interested look, "How do you plan to open this money shop?"

"I plan to open this bank with your majesty." Lin Xiaofeng explained, "I came to you now because I want to take you to see it and tell you about it. You can also invest some shares. Later, I will hand over the management of the bank to Liu Bangde. He is a rare talent, and I believe he can manage the bank well."

Li Dexian looked at Lin Xiaofeng in surprise: "You plan to let Liu Bangde manage the bank? He is a businessman."

"Because he is a businessman, he knows how to operate and manage better." Lin Xiaofeng said confidently, "Don't worry, I have confidence in him. The bank we are going to run is extraordinary, and I believe he will definitely bring us surprises."

Li Dexian nodded thoughtfully after hearing this: "Okay, since you are so confident, I will invest in it. But we have to make it clear that if there is any problem with the bank, you have to be responsible to the end."

"Don't worry." Lin Xiaofeng patted Li Dexian's shoulder, "With me here, there will be absolutely no problems with the bank."

The two smiled at each other and reached a consensus. The sun was shining brightly on them, as if foreshadowing that their future cooperation would be smooth and promising.

The hustle and bustle of the teahouse had gone with the wind, leaving only a quiet place. Under the dim light, Liu Bangde was about to step down when his steps suddenly stopped. He focused his eyes and saw two figures waving at him from a distance. Liu Bangde was slightly stunned, then he looked closely and saw the faces of Lin Xiaofeng and Li Dexian. A bright smile immediately appeared on his face, and he hurried over.

Liu Bangde stood in front of Lin Xiaofeng, smiling: "Your Highness, Master, I never thought I would meet you two here. It is such an honor."

Lin Xiaofeng smiled calmly, his eyes sharp as a torch: "I guess I made a lot of money from the ticket sales by listening to your class, right?"

Liu Bangde laughed awkwardly and replied in a low voice: "It's all for charity. Five taels of silver is not too expensive."

Lin Xiaofeng raised his chin slightly and motioned him to sit down: "Sit down, I have something important to discuss with you today."

Liu Bangde sat down carefully, with his hands placed neatly on his knees, as if waiting for some important instructions.

Lin Xiaofeng looked at him and said slowly: "The exchange should be on the right track now, right?"

Liu Bangde nodded and responded: "Yes, sir. With the help of the adults in the Ministry of Revenue, everything is now in order. If you need anything, I am always at your service."

Lin Xiaofeng smiled slightly and said directly: "I plan to open a new type of money house, called a bank, mainly to solve the financing problem of those private merchants who are short of funds. You have a wide network of contacts in the business world, I want to hand this matter over to you, is there any problem?"

Liu Bangde was stunned, then answered hesitantly: "No problem, but I have never done money house business before..."

"The importance of a bank is no less than that of an exchange, so I will assign people from the county government to you this time." Lin Xiaofeng interrupted him and looked at him firmly. "Your task is to find a suitable place next to the exchange and transform it into a bank."

Liu Bangde thought for a moment, then said, "Master, I have already bought this teahouse. Do you think this location is suitable?"

Lin Xiaofeng looked around and nodded with satisfaction: "This is a good place, with a large enough area. You can put up a fence outside and demolish the building. I will find someone to help you build the bank later. We want to build it in a grand manner so that people will be attracted at first sight. The county will pay for this part of the cost."

Liu Bangde nodded repeatedly, and then raised his doubts: "But, the difference between a bank and a money house is..."

"Don't worry about that. I will write you a plan when I get back. You can modify it according to the actual situation and then implement it." Lin Xiaofeng explained, "However, the most important thing for a bank is its foundation. You have a wide network of contacts. You can attract all the wealthy businessmen you are familiar with and ask them to deposit their money with us."

He paused and continued, "We should try to get this done before the bank is built. With your reputation, you should be able to attract at least 10 million taels of deposits, right? Then, when the bank opens, we will have a certain foundation, and people will be more willing to come to us to deposit money."

Hearing this request, Liu Bangde looked embarrassed: "Master, it's not that I don't want to do it, it's just that this matter is a little difficult. The wealthy businessmen who are close to me all have their own cooperative ticket offices. Those old ticket offices have been around for decades or even hundreds of years. It is difficult for our newly opened bank to attract them all at once. This is not very realistic..."

Lin Xiaofeng frowned and interrupted him: "Don't always make excuses for yourself, believe in yourself." He thought for a moment and continued, "You can try to give them some benefits. For example, there is interest on depositing money with us. You can visit their homes more often and chat with their elders. The elderly like to hear good words and they will be happy when they hear them. Attract the elderly customers first."

He paused, looked into Liu Bangde's eyes and said, "Actually, this matter is not that difficult to handle. You have to know that we have a background, and Your Majesty also owns half of the shares."

Upon hearing this news, Liu Bangde's eyes suddenly widened: "Your Majesty also has a stake in this? Then this thing will definitely succeed!"

Li Dexian was also so surprised that he couldn't close his mouth: "Why is my father also involved?"

Lin Xiaofeng smiled faintly and explained: "Your Majesty has a unique vision and he sees the development prospects of the bank. But Lao Liu, you must remember not to publicize it before the wealthy businessmen deposit their funds. If the people are not enthusiastic about depositing money after the bank opens, it will be a loss of face for Your Majesty, understand?"

Liu Bangde felt very proud after hearing this. He straightened his chest and replied, "Don't worry, sir. I will select the staff before the bank opens. As soon as the bank opens, we will have a large amount of gold and silver deposited! Then we can promote it to the people."

Li Dexian had been listening silently at the side. He couldn't help but interrupt and said, "This matter is not that simple, right? How to make the banknotes? How to ensure safety? And where is the silver vault? Have you thought about it, Lao Lin?"

Lin Xiaofeng smiled slightly and answered confidently: "Your Highness, have you forgotten? We are the ones who sell the champion tickets in Kyoto."

He paused and continued, "The anti-counterfeiting encryption level of the champion's ticket has been improving, and our production technology has also been improving. In terms of confidentiality and anti-counterfeiting methods, we are far ahead. As for the silver vault, I have also thought about it. It will be set up in Yangqu County."

"In Yangqu County?" Li Dexian looked suspicious. "The bank is located in the imperial city, but the treasury is located in Yangqu County? Do you think this is reasonable? You are not planning to embezzle the deposits after opening the bank, are you?"

Facing Li Dexian's doubts, Lin Xiaofeng explained calmly: "How is it possible? Opening a bank must be based on integrity. The reason why I set up the silver vault in Yangqu County is after careful consideration. There are many people in Kyoto, and it is inevitable that some scoundrels will have the idea of ​​robbing the silver vault. But Yangqu County is different. There are fewer people and they are all high-quality people. Moreover, the Jinyiwei has a school factory next to Yangqu County, which is enough to provide security."

He paused and continued, "Although Yangqu County is a little far from Kyoto, we have a train now. Once the train starts, it will be convenient to get anything. Of course, there will also be a small silver vault in Kyoto for everyone to withdraw money. If you want to withdraw more money, just make an appointment in advance. This will also make it easier for us to keep accounts."

·····························
As the night deepened, the lights in the teahouse looked particularly warm. Lin Xiaofeng, Li Dexian and Liu Bangde intertwined under the lights, as if drawing a business blueprint for the new era.

"It sounds reasonable, but the reason is not very sufficient." Li Dexian frowned and looked at Lin Xiaofeng with a sharp gaze. "Since you are cooperating with the emperor, I think you can set up the treasury in the palace. It is safe enough and no one will question it."

Lin Xiaofeng raised his hand to deny. His face looked even more resolute under the light. He said righteously, "No, the officials in the court are all greedy. With so much money in the palace, it will be targeted sooner or later. Moreover, once this matter gets out, it will not be good for your Majesty's reputation. It will feel like your Majesty is trying to rob money. These are the hard-earned money of the people. I will never allow such a thing to happen!"

Li Dexian remained silent after hearing this, while Lin Xiaofeng continued, "Although our bank is cooperating with His Majesty, it is essentially cooperating with the court. In order to prevent chaos in the court and interference from various powers, it is necessary to allow it to operate independently, which can also ensure fairness and justice."

Lin Xiaofeng thought to himself that the silver vault must be set up in Yangqu County, otherwise it would be troublesome for him to use the money to do things in the future. Although he was dedicated to promoting business development, he had to admit that he had "selfish motives". How could he not embezzle the silver from the bank he opened himself? If he didn't embezzle the silver, would he still be considered a human being?

Of course, Lin Xiaofeng also knew that the bank must strictly ensure the operation of rules and regulations, but this did not mean that he had to comply with the regulations completely. After all, rules are dead, but people are alive.

Thinking of Jingjiang's current development, Lin Xiaofeng felt proud. He used his money to pry all this! He was different from ordinary people. He could accurately step on the node of the development of the times, centrally mobilize resources, and let everyone work towards a precise goal, thus greatly compressing the process of development.

Although I have a lot of money now, there will be more things to do in the future, and I may not have enough money one day. If I still have to go through the process and get approvals, it will be a waste of time! With a bank, this problem can be greatly reduced.

After listening to Lin Xiaofeng's explanation, Li Dexian smacked his lips and said thoughtfully: "Tsk, every time you show this expression, I always feel something is wrong."

Lin Xiaofeng's face froze, and he secretly complained in his heart, and quickly changed the subject: "What's wrong? Your Highness, you can't slander me. By the way, the face of this banknote must be His Majesty's face. However, we have other banknotes of other amounts. Your Highness, would you like to get one and I will print you on it?"

Li Dexian's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he asked excitedly: "Hey, interesting! Tell me in detail..."

The two chatted enthusiastically, and the production of silver notes was also put on the agenda. The production of silver notes is extremely particular. In order to ensure its authenticity and anti-counterfeiting, the size is designed to be relatively large, and a lot of information must be left on it for verification purposes.

However, Lin Xiaofeng planned to use the size of banknotes in later generations. He found the best papermaking workshop in Yangqu County and used the local top papermaking technology to produce a batch of paper with excellent rubbing resistance and waterproof performance. Although the cost was slightly higher, it was all worth it to ensure the quality and durability of the banknotes.

The next step was to make the printing plate. The maximum amount of the silver note was set at one hundred taels, and the minimum was one tael. On the day the printing plate was ready, Lin Xiaofeng and Li Dexian came to the Yangqu County workshop at the same time to check the results.

As soon as he entered the workshop, Li Dexian's eyes were immediately attracted by the exquisite printing plate. He picked up the printing plate and carefully examined the lifelike image of Emperor Jingjiang on it, and couldn't help but praise it: "It's so detailed! The painting of my father is so lifelike."

Lin Xiaofeng also picked up a printing plate and looked at it carefully, feeling proud in his heart. The image of Emperor Jingjiang on this printing plate was indeed majestic and dignified, lifelike, with his left hand lightly raised, his right hand on the sword, and a five-clawed golden dragon coiled behind him, showing the majesty and dignity of the royal family, and people could feel the authority and credibility of the banknote at a glance.

After putting down the printing plate, Li Dexian licked his lips and asked expectantly, "Father's is already done, what about mine?" He had also left his own paintings long ago, hoping that they would be printed on silver bills.

Lin Xiaofeng turned around and asked the craftsman: "Where are the other printing plates? Bring them over so we can have a look." The craftsman turned around and took out a stack of printing plates and placed them in front of the two. The second one was Li Dexian's face, with him concentrating on observing the microscope; the next one was him holding a wrench and standing in front of a train with a kind smile; and then there were some landscape paintings and the majestic front gate of North Corridor University.

After reading them, Li Dexian sighed and said, "It's good, but I didn't expect my father's painting to be so outstanding. In comparison, these two of mine seem a bit mediocre." However, Lin Xiaofeng patted his chest and assured, "You are wrong! Your Highness! Your two paintings are truly outstanding! His Majesty's painting is indeed extremely majestic, but I can guarantee that these two paintings of yours will be praised by the people in the future!" However, he secretly despised Li Dexian's "shamelessness" in his heart.

Li Dexian was a little flattered by the praise and said in a silly way, "Really? Do you have any finished products that have been printed for me to see? I can't just look at these copper plates, right?" Lin Xiaofeng gestured to the craftsmen and asked in a low voice, "Have you prepared the things I asked you to prepare?" The craftsman pointed to the corner of the workshop and said, "The things you ordered have been prepared long ago and are right there."

Everyone looked in the direction of his finger and saw a strange wooden box in the corner. The wooden box was painted silver and had a small hollow horizontal bar in the middle. Lin Xiaofeng pulled Li Dexian to the wooden box, clicked on the side twice and opened the door. There was a small stool and some strange devices inside.

Li Dexian asked in confusion: "Hey? What is this? Why do you have to make a door on this box? What is this thing used for?" Lin Xiaofeng did not answer his question, but pushed him into the box and closed the door without saying anything. In the dark, Li Dexian groped around and felt a little stuffy and uncomfortable. He complained: "No... Old Lin, what do you want to do? It's dark and stuffy in here!"

Lin Xiaofeng stood outside the box and knocked on the shell and said, "Your Highness, be patient. See if there is anything on your left hand." Li Dexian fumbled on his left hand and soon touched a paper object. He rubbed it twice and smelled it. It seemed to be a banknote? At this time, Lin Xiaofeng coughed lightly and reminded him, "Ahem... Take a hundred taels of silver!"

Li Dexian was puzzled and took the object that looked like a banknote in his hand and stuffed it out through the gap. Lin Xiaofeng quickly pulled it out and reminded him, "Write it down quickly!" At this time, Wang Yingchao took out a pen and a notebook from his pocket with a serious look and began to take shorthand. The time and place had already been written down, and only a line of words was added at the end: [Jianye Hou Lin Xiaofeng invented the ATM in Yangqu County. ]

Seeing this scene, Li Dexian suddenly realized that this strange box was actually the ATM invented by Lin Xiaofeng! He couldn't help but admire Lin Xiaofeng's talent and creativity. Lin Xiaofeng was secretly happy. With this ATM, he could embezzle silver more conveniently in the future. This is a strategic embezzlement! A bold stroke in future history books! Therefore, the silver vault must be located in Yangqu County!
At this time, the sun shines into the workshop from the window, shining on everyone's face. Lin Xiaofeng stands next to the ATM, his heart full of longing and expectation for the future. He knows that with this invention, future business development will be more convenient and efficient. And he will also go down in history and become a business giant!
"What are you writing down? What are you writing down?" Li Dexian's impatient voice came from the box, as if carrying a hint of imprisonment and dissatisfaction, "Can I go out? It's so stuffy here!"

Hearing this, Lin Xiaofeng put down the pen in his hand. Through the slightly opened door, he could see Li Dexian's somewhat unhappy face. He smiled in his heart, imagining the embarrassment of the prince in the small space, and then whispered to comfort him: "Don't worry, Your Highness, I will open the door for you before you come out."

As he said this, he carefully put aside the paper with handwriting in his hand, and quickly stuffed a stack of banknotes into the small opening next to the box. At this moment, he couldn't help but laugh in his heart, isn't this just a simplified version of an "automatic deposit machine"? If the scholars who compile history books in the future knew about this invention, they might add more words to the history books, and it would also make them look awesome if they spread it out, right?
Li Dexian immediately jumped out after opening the door of the "Automatic Deposit Machine". He took a long breath and looked annoyed: "I am so bored. Tell me, what is this thing used for?"

Lin Xiaofeng smiled mysteriously and began to explain this novel invention: "Your Highness, do you feel safe sitting in it?"

Li Dexian stared at him with eyes wide open, looking at him in disbelief: "Not at all! Do you think it would be safe to lock me in that little box?"

Lin Xiaofeng smiled awkwardly and touched his nose: "Alas, ordinary people are not like this. They tend to be inarticulate when they see dignitaries. Our box can perfectly solve this problem. What should we do if we are afraid of the stage when recruiting employees for the bank in the future? This box can make them feel at ease."

Li Dexian stared at him suspiciously, trying to find some clues from this calm face. However, Lin Xiaofeng's expression remained the same, making it hard to figure out. He shook his head and gave up the search: "Is there anything else you can show me?"

Lin Xiaofeng perked up, a sly light flashed in his eyes: "Yes, the design of our bank is extraordinary. The county has the design drawings, and there are many specially customized furniture. I'll take you to have a look, I guarantee it will open your eyes."

···········
On the way to the bank, Lin Xiaofeng introduced the bank's various functions and design concepts to Li Dexian in detail. Li Dexian listened with great interest and nodded in praise from time to time. When they arrived in front of the bank, Li Dexian was deeply shocked by the scene in front of him.

The original teahouse has been replaced by a magnificent building. This building uses the most advanced design concepts and technical means. Not only is the exterior magnificent, but the internal facilities are also complete. ATMs, ATMs, information desks, VIP rooms and other complete facilities made Li Dexian stunned.

He looked around and exclaimed: "This is really the best bank I have ever seen! Lin Xiaofeng, you are such a talent!"

Lin Xiaofeng smiled slightly, feeling proud in his heart. He pointed to the busy workers and brand new equipment around him and said, "All of these are to provide better services to the people. I believe this bank will become a highlight of Kyoto."

Li Dexian nodded in agreement: "That's right! This bank will definitely be very popular! I'm looking forward to seeing your success!"

As the construction of the bank was in full swing, Lin Xiaofeng also began to build momentum for the bank's opening. He went to the newspaper office to find Xiang Xiehong to discuss publicity strategies.

"We should make full use of the newspaper's resources to promote the bank's opening." Lin Xiaofeng sat in the newspaper's office and said seriously, "I hope to publish a series of special reports on the bank in the newspaper."

Xiang Xiehong nodded in agreement: "That's a good idea! We can report on the bank's innovation, security, convenience, etc."

"Yes! We can also invite some celebrities to come to the bank to experience it and give their comments." Lin Xiaofeng added, "At the same time, we must also pay attention to the voices of the people to let them know that this bank is truly serving them."

As a series of carefully planned reports were published in newspapers, the people of Kyoto began to show great interest in the bank that was about to open. They expected that this new financial institution would bring more convenience and surprises to their lives.

Lin Xiaofeng also took the opportunity to mobilize the Jinyiwei and newspaper employees to deposit their family savings into the bank to add popularity and confidence to the bank's opening. For a time, the bank became one of the hottest topics in Kyoto.

Finally, the bank opened grandly under the attention of the public. That day, there were crowds of people in front of the bank, and people rushed to see the style of this innovative financial institution. Lin Xiaofeng also stood in front of the door to greet every customer who came, and his heart was full of expectations and confidence for the future.

"Master, I understand. I will arrange it later." Lin Xiaofeng's words revealed a calmness and confidence, which made Xiang Xiehong respect him. After half an hour of detailed explanation, Xiang Xiehong had a preliminary understanding of many matters and the general operation of the bank.

Lin Xiaofeng sat in the spacious study, the sunlight slanting in from the window, illuminating his calm and deep face. He nodded with satisfaction, his eyes revealing his approval of Xiang Xiehong. Outside the study, the green bamboo forest swayed gently in the breeze, as if it was also rejoicing in his decision.

"Very good," Lin Xiaofeng continued, "During this period of time, let the reporters below take some time to finish the manuscripts. After you screen them, bring them to me and I will review them personally. Then there will be no problem." His voice was firm and powerful, as if every word carried his dedication and passion for this cause.

Xiang Xiehong nodded, his eyes flashing with admiration and trust for Lin Xiaofeng. "I understand, Master." He replied, his voice full of determination.

Lin Xiaofeng thought for a moment, glanced at the newspaper at hand, and suddenly asked, "Recently, a group of international students from Western Xia will come to Jingjiang. What was the response to the news you released earlier?" A trace of concern flashed across his face, and it was obvious that he attached great importance to this matter.

Xiang Xiehong turned around to look for a newspaper, and soon found the newspaper from the previous two days and presented it to Lin Xiaofeng. Lin Xiaofeng looked down and saw the title clearly read [Urige State Master Visits, Says He Is Willing to Be Friends with Jingjiang.] He nodded with satisfaction. The article was written in a plain and simple manner, but it was able to accurately convey the message of friendship between the two countries.

"What's the response?" Lin Xiaofeng raised his head and looked at Xiang Xiehong expectantly.

Xiang Xiehong frowned slightly and replied, "The response doesn't seem to be very good. There are some rumors among the people..." He paused, as if looking for the right words, "Some rumors are not very friendly to the Xixia State Master."

Lin Xiaofeng frowned when he heard this, "How could this happen? Aren't we strengthening exchanges and cooperation with the Western Xia Kingdom?" An inexplicable sense of uneasiness surged in his heart.

Just then, a young reporter was brought in. Xiang Xiehong pointed at the article and asked, "What is the response to this article among the people?"

The young reporter recalled: "The response was indeed not very good. People were spreading some unfriendly rumors about the Xixia Kingdom's national teacher." He carefully observed Lin Xiaofeng's reaction.

"What!" Lin Xiaofeng slammed the table and stood up, a trace of anger flashing across his face, "There are people who believe such an outrageous rumor? Isn't this a slap in the face of the Western Xia Kingdom?" His voice revealed his dissatisfaction and anger with such rumors.

Seeing this, Xiang Xiehong hurriedly comforted him, "Don't worry, sir. The people may have just misunderstood. We will intensify publicity to let the people know the truth." His voice was full of concern and support for Lin Xiaofeng.

Lin Xiaofeng sighed and sat down again. He rubbed his brows and fell into deep thought. He understood that the seriousness of the problem of racial discrimination was far beyond his imagination. In this era, people's ideas and concepts are far from being as open and tolerant as those in modern society.

He took a deep breath, picked up the newspaper and read it twice. Then he raised his head and said firmly: "What we need to do now is to strengthen publicity and education. Let the people know that people from all countries are equal. We cannot deny a country or even a nation because of some rumors." His voice revealed a kind of firmness and persistence.

Xiang Xiehong nodded in agreement: "Yes, sir, we will intensify publicity in this regard. At the same time, we will also carry out rectification and education within the newspaper to ensure that similar problems will not occur again in the future." His voice was full of determination and confidence.

Lin Xiaofeng nodded in agreement with satisfaction, and reminded him to pay attention to the way the bank explained to the people during publicity. At the same time, he also expressed his concern about the recent frequent cases of scholars being deceived, and asked Xiang Xiehong for his opinion on this. After learning that the relevant departments were already handling the matter, he felt a little relieved.

In the Palace of Heavenly Purity, Shu Wenxu asked Emperor Jingjiang about the rumor of building a money house with a worried look on his face. After Emperor Jingjiang confirmed the matter, Shu Wenxu expressed his opposition with great sorrow, thinking that it would damage the majesty of the royal family. However, Emperor Jingjiang fell into deep thought. He understood the importance of Lin Xiaofeng's plan to the country, but he also needed to weigh the pros and cons of all aspects. The conversation continued in a tense and serious atmosphere, and the two court officials were thinking deeply about the future of the country.

In the deep palace of the imperial city, Emperor Jingjiang was in a complicated mood. Shu Wenxu's words echoed in his heart, making him slightly waver in his decision to open a bank. However, how could he easily give up this opportunity to promote the majesty of the royal family?

He glanced out the window. The warm spring sun shone on the glazed tiles of the imperial garden, shining brightly, but there was no warmth in his heart. Shu Wenxu's worry was like a stone pressing on his heart, making him feel a little breathless.

"No one cares, it damages the dignity of the royal family." He muttered to himself, his hands behind his back, his brows furrowed. He understood what Shu Wenxu meant, and it was understandable that the people were skeptical about the royal bank. But how could they understand his difficulties?
He took a deep breath and tried to calm his excitement. He knew that he could not waver at this time. He had to firmly promote the opening of the bank and let the people see the determination and strength of the royal family.

However, Shu Wenxu's admonition was like a thorn in his heart. He began to reflect on his decision. Was it really well thought out? If there was a problem with the bank, it would not only affect the reputation of the royal family, but also deal a huge blow to the court.

He looked up at the sky, the white clouds seemed to be telling the vicissitudes of life. He knew that he could not retreat, but must move forward bravely. He wanted to use practical actions to prove that his decision was correct.

Just then, a breeze blew, bringing with it the fresh scent of flowers. He closed his eyes and felt the gift of nature. When he opened his eyes again, they were full of determination.

At this moment, Shu Wenxu was also very excited. He stood on the street, looking at the bank that was about to open. He had to admit that Lin Xiaofeng's plan was indeed bold and creative. However, the worry in his heart was still lingering.

He looked around, watching more and more guests and passers-by gather at the door of the bank. He knew that today was an important day, a day that could change the fate of the court and the people.

As the auspicious time arrived, Liu Bangde loudly announced the official opening of the bank. Firecrackers blasted, red cloth fluttered, and the modern building made of reinforced concrete, with glass windows instead of wooden windows and silver paint on the exterior walls, appeared before everyone.

Shu Wenxu looked at the building in amazement, and the shock in his heart was beyond words. He had never seen such an avant-garde architectural style, and he had never thought that such a building would appear in this era.

However, his astonishment did not last long. Soon, he was infected by the lively atmosphere on the scene. Guests flocked into the bank, vying to visit this unprecedented money house. Their faces were filled with curiosity and excitement, as if they saw a new hope.

Shu Wenxu took a deep breath, knowing that his worries might be unnecessary. Lin Xiaofeng's plan seemed to be working, and this modern bank might really bring new opportunities and hope to the court and the people.

He turned and left, but his heart was full of expectations and longings. He hoped that this bank could really play its role and create more wealth and opportunities for the court and the people. At the same time, he also looked forward to a better future, a future led by the royal family and a prosperous future for the people.

Looking from the outside in, the building is like a bright pearl, shining brightly. The two huge glass doors are like two mirrors, clearly reflecting the outside world. The brass handles on the doors are polished to a shine, as if shining with golden light, tempting people to enter this mysterious world.

The most confusing thing is the glass cylinders standing on the left and right sides of the door. They stand there quietly like two mysterious guards. Inside the cylinders are red, white and blue colored strips, which are rotating automatically, as if showing people the vitality and colorfulness of the world.

After a moment of silence, the rich people who were invited to the building burst into a huge discussion. Their faces were full of surprise and curiosity, as if they had seen something incredible. The people on the street were also stunned. They stopped and stared at this strange building with amazement and amazement.

"My God, this house is so bright! I've never seen a house like this." one person exclaimed.

"If I'm not mistaken, this is made of white crystal from Yangqu County, right? How much does such a big piece cost?" another person asked curiously.

"I don't know how much money it is, but judging from the situation, the bank has really invested a lot of money!" someone sighed.

People were talking about the rotating red, white and blue stripes, but no one knew what they were. Some speculated that they were decorations, while others thought they might be some kind of mysterious symbol.

Liu Bangde stood there quietly, smiling, waiting for the discussion to die down. He knew that this building had successfully attracted people's attention. Lin Xiaofeng also listened to the discussion beside him with a smile on his face, and his vision was also strongly impacted. The surrounding simple wooden buildings formed a sharp contrast with this modern building. This contrast and sense of separation made people feel extremely strong.

As the rich people's discussion subsided, Liu Bangde knew it was time to move on. He said loudly: "Everyone, there are too many people here. If you have any questions, why don't we go inside to discuss them so as not to block the street." He reminded everyone to take out their invitations, and those who didn't have invitations were told to move to Jingxing Bank tomorrow.

As the glass door slowly opened, the guests rushed in with their invitations in hand. Lin Xiaofeng followed suit, but after taking just two steps, a familiar figure caught his eye. It was Shu Wenxu, who was sneaking into the crowd in an attempt to blend in.

Lin Xiaofeng strode forward, stretched out his hand, and grabbed Shu Wenxu on the spot. He said with a smile: "Master Shu, how are you?"

Shu Wenxu was startled by Lin Xiaofeng's sudden appearance. He looked at Lin Xiaofeng with his hair a little messy. After a moment's pause, he laughed dryly and said, "What a coincidence, Marquis Jianye, you are here to see the bank too."

"Why are you pretending?" Lin Xiaofeng looked at him with a smile, "Everyone in the court knows that this thing was opened by His Majesty and I, right? Why? As the head of the Ministry of Revenue, you come to show your support in person? But you can't go in without an invitation today. We must abide by the rules in everything." Shu Wenxu shook his sleeves and took a step back and said lightly, "My Lord, you think too much. You opened this bank too rashly and it will cause a lot of trouble in the future. I tried to persuade His Majesty but he is still considering it."

"So today I came to take a look in person and report back to His Majesty. It is the right thing to do to stop the loss as soon as possible." Shu Wenxu continued, "I see that you invited quite a few people. These people should have agreed to come and deposit money in advance, right? How much have they deposited in total?"

"To be honest, it's not much." Lin Xiaofeng did not hide it. "It adds up to about 100,000 taels."

Shu Wenxu frowned and said, "With so many people, you only saved a few hundred thousand taels? You are overdrawing on His Majesty's face!"

Lin Xiaofeng shrugged and said nonchalantly: "It's only the first day, why are you in such a hurry? Look how beautiful my bank is. So many people are watching. Am I afraid that no one will deposit money?"

Shu Wenxu shook his head and said, "It's all just show! Who would give up their hard work for real money just because of your little tricks? Well, I think you are just fooling around! I don't want to watch it anymore. I will go back to the palace to report to His Majesty." After saying that, he turned and left.

Lin Xiaofeng secretly said in his heart, this old man is going to do something bad again! He quickly grabbed Shu Wenxu and said, "What are you doing! I helped you solve the problem in the Ministry of Revenue before, and you are trying to rip me off, right? Master Shu, you are so dishonest!"

Shu Wenxu raised his eyebrows and said, "I am not kidding you! The money house is a big deal. How can you easily drag His Majesty into it? Where will the prestige of the court be if something goes wrong in the future?"

"How ridiculous!" Lin Xiaofeng said unhappily, "I'm doing good things for the people! They will get interest on the money they deposit with me in the future, and it is also safe. If I do it well, your majesty's prestige will naturally rise! You can wait a few more days before telling your majesty why you're in such a hurry? I'll open your eyes today!" As he said that, he pulled Shu Wenxu into the bank without saying anything.

Although Shu Wenxu was dissatisfied with Lin Xiaofeng's behavior, he was also curious about the inside of the bank. When he stepped into Jingxing Bank, he was once again shocked by the scene before him.

The lobby is spacious, bright, neat and orderly. Natural light fills the entire space through the tall floor-to-ceiling windows, making the room full of warmth. The soft carpet on the floor gives people a feeling of being at home.

The counter in front is even more extraordinary, with five windows covered by large glass, and a small groove below for handing things over, just like a modern bank. The marble counter for transactions has a streamlined design, and a line of large characters is deeply painted on it: [We are not responsible for anything that happens after you leave the counter].

The staff behind the counter had been trained in advance and were ready to go to work. They were wearing uniforms, with their hands folded on their abdomens and professional smiles on their faces. The whole space exuded a professional and warm atmosphere.

There are also many waiting seats and comfortable rest areas in the hall for people to rest and communicate. The newspaper rack on the side provides the latest newspapers and popular books on the market for people waiting to do business. In the corners of the room, there are several burly security guards standing. They are wearing the classic security uniforms designed by Lin Xiaofeng, holding explosion-proof forks in their hands, and looking at everyone in the room with a fierce look, looking at everyone in the room.

At this moment, Liu Bangde had gathered the invited guests together, and he was talking about the various service facilities and promises in Jingxing Bank with great energy. Lin Xiaofeng and Shu Wenxu stood at the back and listened quietly.

Shu Wenxu's expression was a little dull. He looked at this comfortable and professional environment and sighed, "It looks more comfortable here than a brothel! If this bank wasn't opened by someone else related to your majesty, I would want to come in and sit down if I had nothing to do."

He turned to look at Lin Xiaofeng, his eyes full of new understanding and praise. Perhaps, this bank can really bring benefits and convenience to the people as Lin Xiaofeng said, and at the same time establish prestige for the court. The doubts and worries in Shu Wenxu's heart seemed to be slightly alleviated at this moment, and he began to have a little expectation and confidence in this new bank.

While Shu Wenxu was stunned, Liu Bangde had already been explaining enthusiastically to everyone for a long time, and at this moment his words were still stirring in the conference hall like a spring breeze.

Liu Bangde's voice echoed in the spacious venue, and everyone's mood fluctuated with his words. He described in detail the strong strength and future development prospects of Jingxing Bank, as if a magnificent picture scroll was slowly unfolding before everyone's eyes.

"The most important thing you are worried about is whether the principal can be guaranteed to be safe." Liu Bangde's voice was sonorous and powerful, like a reassurance pill, making everyone present feel at ease. "I can tell you responsibly here that the amount of silver reserves in Jingxing Bank has now exceeded 20 million taels."

His words revealed great confidence and confidence, making everyone present feel the strong strength of Jingxing Bank. Shu Wenxu listened silently, his eyes flashing with thinking. He was confused from time to time, nodding from time to time, as if weighing Liu Bangde's words in his heart.

The venue seemed to have turned into a vivid picture. Lin Xiaofeng quietly observed Shu Wenxu's reaction. His eyes were deep and sharp, as if he could see through people's hearts. Liu Bangde was like a general who was in charge of the country, leading everyone to a brand new future.

As Liu Bangde's explanation became more in-depth, he took out a stack of brand new banknotes and held them high in front of everyone. At that moment, the banknotes sparkled under the light, like a spark of hope, igniting everyone's enthusiasm.

"Everyone, this is the silver note that Jingxing Bank is about to issue and exchange." Liu Bangde's voice was passionate and enthusiastic, as if he was cheering for the arrival of a new era, "It is also the strongest line of defense for Jingxing Bank to grasp security!"

His words flowed like a warm current into everyone's heart. People crowded forward, wanting to see this symbol of the new era. The banknotes were printed with the images of Emperor Jingjiang and the Crown Prince, and their lifelike and majestic figures were amazing.

At this moment, Shu Wenxu was filled with shock and doubt, and he cast his eyes on Lin Xiaofeng. Lin Xiaofeng smiled and shook a few banknotes at him, as if to show him the arrival of a new era.

"Master Book, take it and read it at your leisure." Lin Xiaofeng's words revealed great confidence and composure.

Shu Wenxu carefully took the banknote, his eyes flashing with awe and solemnity. He knew that this was not just a banknote, but also a symbol of the new era and the embodiment of imperial power.

He carefully observed the workmanship and details of the banknote, and could not help but admire it secretly. The fine workmanship and unique design of this banknote were truly amazing. Whether in terms of cost or fine workmanship, no one else on the market could match it.

Shu Wenxu took a deep breath, raised his head and looked at Lin Xiaofeng, his eyes flashing with complex light: "How is the workmanship of the banknote?"

"Impeccable," he admitted reluctantly, with a hint of respect and admiration in his voice.

At this time, Shu Wenxu was completely attracted by Lin Xiaofeng's plan and the prospects of Jingxing Bank. He knew that the arrival of this new era would bring great changes and influences to the court and the people.

Lin Xiaofeng watched Shu Wenxu's expression change, and was secretly satisfied. He knew that his plan was half successful, and the next step was to wait for Shu Wenxu to report to Emperor Jingjiang and get his support.

"Master Shu, what do you think about the future of the money house?" Lin Xiaofeng asked with a smile.

Shu Wenxu pondered for a moment and replied: "This seems feasible, but we still need to be cautious. After all, it involves a large amount of gold and silver transactions, and safety is the most important."

"Don't worry, Master Shu." Lin Xiaofeng said confidently, "We will take the most stringent security measures to ensure the safety of every customer's funds. And our goal is not only to make the bank a platform for gold and silver transactions, but also to make it an important force in promoting economic development."

After hearing this, Shu Wenxu was silent for a long time before he sighed and said, "My Lord, you have great ambitions, and I admire you. Since you have a comprehensive plan, I will wait and see."

At this time, the atmosphere in the venue has reached a climax, and everyone is cheering for the arrival of a new era. At this moment, Shu Wenxu is also infected by Lin Xiaofeng's enthusiasm and determination. He begins to look forward to what kind of changes and impacts this new era will bring to the court and the people.

In the next few days, Shu Wenxu will have a deeper understanding of the operation mode and security measures of Jingxing Bank, and personally experience the convenience and safety of silver bills. He will report this matter in detail to Emperor Jingjiang, and hope to get the support and promotion of His Majesty. Lin Xiaofeng will also continue to work hard to improve the various systems and security measures of the bank to ensure the safety of funds and smooth transactions for every customer.

Shu Wenxu looked conflicted, his brows knitted, as if he was making an important decision. Finally, he gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice: "My Lord, you are polite, but I only look at the reality and don't want to take this risk."

Although Lin Xiaofeng's words sounded pleasant, Shu Wenxu was not optimistic about this new bank. The Ministry of Revenue had reached its peak since the establishment of the Jingjiang government. Although Lin Xiaofeng had made great contributions to it, he wanted to retire and enjoy his old age. He did not want to end up alone because of an empty dream. The new bank was too risky, and in his opinion, it was no different from an ordinary bank.

"Please send someone to deliver the new bank's regulations, my Lord. I'm quite interested in learning about them." Shu Wenxu said, with a hint of helplessness and fatigue in his voice. "I've seen enough today. I still have to go back to the Ministry of Revenue to deal with official documents. So I'll take my leave now."

Looking at Shu Wenxu's back, Lin Xiaofeng couldn't help feeling a little disappointed. He understood that it was really difficult for the court to accept new things, and it was even more difficult to find people to cooperate. Even though he had been through many battles and had made outstanding military achievements, most people in the court were still conservative and always seeking stability. However, this was also human nature, so let's use facts to speak! As long as we can win the hearts of the people, all problems will be solved.

Lin Xiaofeng bowed to Shu Wenxu and prepared to see him out. However, just as Shu Wenxu turned around, his eyes were suddenly attracted by something in the corner. It was a strange cabinet covered with a red cloth. Because it was placed in an inconspicuous position, he did not notice it when he came in.

"My lord, what is that?" Shu Wenxu asked, pointing at the cabinet covered with red cloth.

Lin Xiaofeng looked in the direction of his finger and immediately laughed and said, "That's a genuine good thing, Mr. Shu, you will know it soon. Come again tomorrow."

As night fell, the lights of Kyoto dimmed. Lin Xiaofeng stood in front of the window, looking at the night outside, his heart full of expectations. He knew that tomorrow would be a new beginning, a new beginning for him and for the people of Jingjiang.

The next morning, the sun shone on the streets of Kyoto. In the various districts of Kyoto, the people reading newspapers were surrounded by the people. Over the years, listening to newspapers being read has become a habit for many people.

There was a pot of tea on the small square table that the newspaper reader had prepared. He took a sip of it happily and looked at the crowd, with a satisfied smile on his face. There is big news today, another wave of profit! He was secretly happy in his heart, waiting for the crowd to gather to a certain size.

As the crowd grew, the newspaper reader put down the teapot, unfolded the newspaper, and said leisurely, "Please be quiet, everyone. Today we have a piece of great news, and there is also news about a beauty in Jingjiang who appears once in a thousand years. Which one do you want to hear first?"

"Of course it's great news!" someone shouted excitedly.

"What good news are you listening to? Of course I'm listening to the beauty that only appears once in a thousand years! I didn't finish talking about it yesterday!" There was a roar in the crowd, and many people showed indescribable expressions on their faces. This beauty that only appears once in a thousand years was the hottest news some time ago. A strange woman appeared in the capital, with both talent and beauty, and she often appeared in various places in the capital, wearing a plain white dress, with a slim figure and a coquettish figure. She twisted her body with every step, and her slender waist swayed, and she brought a faint fragrance when she passed by.

On her delicate lotus feet were pure white embroidered shoes, and around her slender ankles was a red string with a small silver bell tied to it. Whenever she walked by, the silver bell would make a crisp sound, attracting the attention of passers-by. The most important thing was that half of the woman's face was covered with a snow-white brocade scarf, revealing only a pair of eyebrows as dark as distant mountains and lively eyes. Her eyes seemed to be full of autumnal waves, slightly curved, and flashing a charming light. Seeing her made people intoxicated, and this fairy-like beauty had been a hot topic in Kyoto for half a month.

In word of mouth, this woman was said to be a beauty that only appears once in a thousand years. Her beauty and mystery have touched the hearts of countless people. Some people even gave this woman a nickname - Moon Palace Fairy. Now there is great news, but it is overshadowed by the name of Moon Palace Fairy. Many people want to know more about this mysterious beauty.

Seeing this, the newspaper reader put out two bowls and said, "If you want to hear the good news, throw a copper coin into the left bowl; if you want to hear the news about the beauty, throw it into the right bowl." As soon as he finished speaking, countless copper coins flew to the right bowl. In a short time, the right bowl was full, while the left bowl was only half full. This result clearly showed that everyone was more concerned about the news about the beauty.

The newspaper reader looked at the copper coins in the two bowls and was secretly happy. He cleared his throat and announced loudly: "Since everyone wants to hear about the beauty, I will talk about the beauty first!" As soon as he finished speaking, he attracted expectant eyes and cheers. Then he told the latest news about the mysterious beauty. However, when he said that the beauty who was regarded as the fairy of the moon palace by everyone actually started to receive guests in the Zuiyue Tower in Yangqu County, the whole audience was in an uproar. Everyone stared at the newspaper reader with their eyes wide open, as if they couldn't believe their ears, and the sound of heartbreak could be heard faintly.

The angry crowd began to curse the newspaper reader, and some even began to look for stones and other objects to attack him. However, the newspaper reader insisted that everything he said was true, and reminded everyone not to lose their reason because of anger. His words gradually calmed the excited people and led them to start thinking about the truth of the matter.

At this time, Lin Xiaofeng was mixed in the crowd, looking helplessly at the excited crowd and the speeches of various beasts around him. He actually knew the inside story of this matter, and also learned the truth behind it. It turned out that all this was Zhou Zhiwei's marketing strategy. He helped Zuiyuelou to create a persona, hype up beauties, and make them into national treasure-level beauties, and then sent them to Zuiyuelou to sell at a high price to attract more customers.

Lin Xiaofeng looked at the wolves around him who had begun to daydream, and shouted helplessly: "Let's end this matter! What is the great news! Is it that we can get a discount if we go to sleep with the fairy now?" His words were full of ridicule and sarcasm, but they successfully drew everyone's attention back to the good news.

The newspaper reader took the opportunity to announce the opening of the new bank and introduced the preferential policies and features of the new bank in detail. He told everyone that the new bank not only did not charge deposit fees, but also paid interest to depositors; and if you deposited 500,000 taels of silver in the bank within three days, you could get rice, flour, oil, eggs and other items as gifts for free. This was undoubtedly great news!

This news was like a bombshell, causing a huge sensation among the crowd. Everyone was shocked by this sudden good news! They talked about it, cheered, and celebrated...
In the ancient empire, a shocking piece of news quickly spread among the people. It was said that if you deposit money in the city's money houses, not only would you not be charged any custody fees, but you would be given interest, and you would also be given rice, flour, oil, and eggs for free.

When the people heard the news, they were all shocked. Could it be that there was such a good thing as a free lunch in this world? They discussed it one after another, doubting it. After all, they were used to a hard life and knew that there was no free lunch in the world.

The sun shines through the clouds and shines on the earth. The streets are bustling with people. However, people's attention is soon attracted by the activities of the bank. They stop to watch, with surprise and expectation written on their faces.

"Who owns this bank? How could such a good thing happen?" an old man asked doubtfully, stroking his beard.

"This does sound a bit strange, but if such a good thing really happens, wouldn't it be wonderful?" A middle-aged woman responded with a look of longing on her face.

In the crowd, a young man held a newspaper and loudly read out the bank's promotional activities. He explained the specific details of the activities in detail and emphasized the safety and reliability of the activities. He told everyone that this bank was run by the famous Liu Bangde and was supported by the Marquis of Jianye.

After hearing this news, people's doubts were slightly dispelled. After all, Liu Bangde and Jianye Hou were well-known, so they would not deceive the people, right?
However, some people still have concerns. "Is this a scam?" an old man said worriedly, "We can't let anyone cheat us out of the money we have worked so hard to save."

At this time, a shrewd businessman stood up and analyzed the situation: "Think about it, if this is really a scam, why would the scammers do it so ostentatiously? They could just run away with the money quietly. Besides, can't we just deposit some money to receive the gift and then quickly withdraw it? This way, we can ensure the safety of the funds and get a bargain at the same time, so why not do it?"

These words were like a shot of adrenaline that hit people's hearts. Everyone woke up and rushed to the bank to deposit money and receive the gifts.

At this time, the bank was already crowded with people. People lined up in long queues to handle business, and the mountain of gifts piled up in front of the bank was even more mouth-watering, including packaged rice, flour, oil, and exquisite eggs.

These supplies were guarded by a beautiful woman who greeted every depositor who came to receive the gifts with a smile and patiently answered their questions.

As time went by, more and more people began to flock to the money house to deposit money and receive gifts. The whole scene was bustling and people's faces were filled with joy and satisfaction.

In this joyful atmosphere, there are also people who remain calm and vigilant. They always pay attention to the movements around them to ensure that their interests are not harmed. These cautious depositors remind each other to pay attention to safety and exchange experiences in depositing and withdrawing money.

As time went on, more and more people developed a sense of trust in money houses and began to deposit more money into them. They expected to get more interest and gifts by depositing money, and also enjoyed the convenience and pleasure brought by this novel financial method.

The whole city was filled with a joyful and peaceful atmosphere, people shared the good news with each other and looked forward to more surprises and gains in the future. As a result, this bank became a beautiful landscape in the city, attracting more and more people to visit and experience this new financial life.

In the ancient capital, five taels of silver was still a considerable sum for most people in the bustling streets. Nevertheless, as they watched the supplies in front of the bank being collected bit by bit, those who did not have much silver in their hands could not help but feel greedy and anxious.

A discordant voice broke the noise, someone criticized the staff guarding the supplies: "You are asking for too much money to save five taels of silver! Can't poor people save money?"

As the voice fell, there was a commotion among the crowd. Many people began to echo and express their dissatisfaction with the regulations. However, the staff remained calm, as if they had already expected this moment to come.

With a gentle smile, she comforted the excited crowd: "Don't worry, our bank is here to serve the people of Kyoto. We will immediately ask our superiors to see if the threshold can be lowered."

As she spoke, she turned and walked quickly towards the bank. Not long after, she returned with good news: "Congratulations, everyone. In order to thank everyone for their enthusiastic participation, the bank has decided to lower the threshold. Now, as long as you deposit one or two taels of silver and invite four people to deposit money together, you can share the supplies!"

This news warmed people's hearts like a spring breeze. They were overjoyed and went home to look for relatives and friends, hoping to save money together and share this unexpected joy.

At this moment, in the backyard of the bank, Liu Bangde was announcing the good news to Lin Xiaofeng: "Master, we have achieved great success today!"

Lin Xiaofeng remained calm. He raised his hand and thought, "This is just the beginning. Whether we can really keep the people's money depends on our subsequent development."

His eyes were deep and firm, as if he had seen the future glory of the money house.

Meanwhile, Shu Wenxu had been observing near the bank for three days. He was supposed to be on duty at the public house, but his worries made him come to check in person. The scene in front of him surprised him greatly. He did not expect that the people could be so easily instigated.

However, he still maintained a cautious attitude. He noticed that although there were many depositors, most of them were from the lower classes. The middle class was still waiting and watching, and their attitude would determine the future of the bank.

Just as Shu Wenxu was lost in thought, there was a commotion at the door of the bank. He looked up and saw two security guards and a staff member carrying out something covered with a red cloth.

When the red cloth was unveiled, the crowd screamed in surprise. Shu Wenxu couldn't help but open his eyes wide in disbelief.

It was a huge glass cabinet with a thick and long gold bar on the top. On the glass panel of the cabinet was a line of small words: "Grab the gold bar with one hand, pick it up and it will be given to you for free."

The staff member smiled and explained: "As long as everyone deposits one or two taels of silver regularly in Jingxing Bank for a month, they will have the opportunity to grab this 50-jin gold bar with gloves. If you pick up the gold bar within 25 drops of water falling from the water clock, you can take it home for free!"

This news exploded like a bomb among the crowd, and people flocked to the banks, hoping to seize this opportunity and become rich overnight.

Shu Wenxu stood in the crowd, his heart filled with shock. He had to admit that Lin Xiaofeng's move was really brilliant. Not only did he attract the lower-class people with benefits, but he also used this gold bar to arouse the greed and desire deep in people's hearts.

Looking at the bustling crowd, Shu Wenxu took a deep breath. He knew that the game was not over yet, but Lin Xiaofeng had already walked ahead.

The sun was blazing, and everyone's eyes were focused on the glittering gold bars. Under the sun, the gold bars shone with dazzling light, as if carrying a mysterious power that attracted people's attention. At this moment, the courtyard of the bank seemed to have turned into a huge stage, and the gold bars were undoubtedly the protagonists on this stage.

The air was filled with a tense and expectant atmosphere, and various emotions began to brew above the bank, like the calm before the storm. Some people's eyes flashed with greed, some people's faces were full of anxiety, and some people were rubbing their hands in anticipation.

Many people have begun to imagine what life will be like after getting the gold bars, and have started to study what house and BMW to buy. They seem to have seen themselves holding the gold bars, standing at the pinnacle of life, and enjoying endless wealth and glory.

As long as they step forward, put on the special gloves, gently pick up the gold bar, and hold it for a while, their life destiny may change. They may not be able to lift a 50-jin stone with one hand, but 50-jin gold seems to have a mysterious power that makes them feel that they can even lift it with a bull.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the first thing to do is to bravely enter the bank, take the gold, and then go home with your head held high. Shu Wenxu stood aside, observing the reactions of the crowd, and was shocked. What he saw was not only people's desire for gold bars, but also the madness and endless desires deep in their hearts.

The crowd's emotions had reached the edge of madness, as if they would explode completely with just a slight touch. Lin Xiaofeng's backhand was so bold that he directly used gold bars to stimulate people's desires. So far, his strategy has obviously been successful.

However, these people did not seem to fully understand the value of the gold bar. In their lives, gold was so far away that many people had never touched gold in their entire lives. Although they understood the weight of 50 kilograms, the size and shining light of the gold bar were enough to confuse everyone's eyes.

The most important thing is that if you want to participate in this event, you need to deposit one or two taels of silver in the bank first, and you need to deposit it for a month. This one month is enough for the bank to allow the people to get interest and experience the sweetness of depositing money. If they can safely withdraw the deposited silver and get interest, then there is a great possibility that they will deposit the silver back to the bank again. In this way, the situation of the bank will be completely stable!
Shu Wenxu's thoughts were interrupted because someone had already taken quick steps and rushed into the bank impatiently. His action was like a signal of a starting gun, which immediately caused a commotion among the crowd. They began to rush into the bank at the same time like a tide.

However, at this moment, a team of officers in official uniforms walked out of the bank in unison, their hands on the swords at their waists, lined up on both sides, and stopped the surging people with their majestic momentum. The staff stood up with a smile and comforted the excited crowd: "Don't be afraid, the bank's reception capacity is limited. I hope everyone can line up and go in one by one to handle business. Today, the bank has specially invited officials to come as witnesses, and also to maintain order on the scene."

The impulsive people suddenly became more sober the moment they saw the soldiers. They began to follow the staff's instructions, although somewhat reluctantly, they still lined up obediently.

Half a month had passed, and there was still an endless stream of depositors coming to Jingxing Bank to deposit money and raise gold bars. With the help of Beilang Daily, this incident had become a grand scene in Kyoto. Every day, the bank was crowded with people, who looked at those who tried to raise gold bars with envy or expectation.

Fifty kilograms of gold is not a small amount for anyone. Even a powerful family would be tempted by such a reward. Secretly, many people sent their servants to try, hoping to take the gold bar home.

As too many people tried, the power of the middle class finally began to be pried. In fact, no matter whether the bank was real or a scam, as long as too many people were involved, no one would worry about its safety. What everyone was most worried about now was whether they had the strength to pick up the heavy gold bar.

On the day when the gold bar lottery started, people were just trying to give it a try. However, after a few days, the people in the city realized the reality. The gold bar could not be lifted with gloves. It seemed to be firmly attached to the cabinet, and no matter how hard people tried, it would not budge. Moreover, the shape of the gold bar was trapezoidal, and it was very slippery with gloves, so it was almost impossible to lift it.

Whenever people recognize this reality and spread this news, when the money houses are about to close, some "strange people" will step forward. They stand tall and successfully grab and lift the gold bars, bringing a new round of hope to people. As a result, the people in Beijing set off a new round of enthusiasm, and continued to attract people to deposit money and grab gold bars.

However, the highest record at the moment was only the time it took for the water clock to drip ten drops of water. Everything seemed to be moving in a good direction, but Lin Xiaofeng was obviously not satisfied with this. He believed that although things had been mostly successful, as long as all the means had not been exhausted, it would not be considered a complete success.

So, more than 20 days after the event, a series of long-awaited blockbuster news began to bombard Kyoto. First, Beilang University's tuition fees were all required to be paid at Jingxing Money House, and no cash was accepted. This news undoubtedly gave great support to the money house and made students trust it more.

Then, all the major stores under Yangqu County also announced that they would no longer accept cash and would only accept silver notes and copper coins from Jingxing Bank. This move undoubtedly further promoted the silver notes of the bank and made people more dependent on the bank in their daily lives.

Yangqu Medical Clinic also announced with the Patriarchs Association that it would only accept silver bills from Jingxing Bank in three months. This news is undoubtedly a great convenience for those who need medical treatment. They no longer need to carry a large amount of cash to see a doctor, but only need to bring silver bills from the bank.

At the same time, all factories and industries related to the railway will also start using Jingxing Bank's silver notes to pay wages in three months instead of cash. This move undoubtedly further expanded the scope of use of bank silver notes and made workers trust the bank more.

Lin Xiaofeng also sent a large number of people to negotiate cooperation with major merchants in Kyoto, hoping that the merchants would accept silver bills and give people certain discounts. The implementation of this strategy was very effective. In order to attract customers, many merchants began to accept Jingxing silver bills as payment and offered a 95% discount on goods.

Finally, the price of the Moon Palace Fairy, who made countless men in Kyoto crazy, was reduced. This woman, known as the most beautiful woman in Kyoto, has always been the object of men's dreams. Now, as long as you pay with Jingxing silver notes, a twenty-liang silver note can spend a night with her for an hour. As soon as this news came out, countless romantic wanderers went to the bank to deposit money, just to spend a night with the fairy.

In order to prevent the occurrence of fatal incidents in the brothel, after all, although beauty is good, life is more precious. Master Zhou has discussed the response plan with General Manager Lin in advance. After all, you can't just catch one person and harm him. Moreover, this so-called fairy persona obviously can't last long, and people will see the truth sooner or later.

To this end, the 2,000-year-old beauty series, one-night-two-day package, and "wife away, step-sister" activities to create celebrity personas and script-killing activities are being developed in full swing. These new activities and strategies will undoubtedly further attract people's attention, making the deposit enthusiasm of money houses continue to rise.

Two days before the gold bar grabbing activity was about to end, the bank entrance once again set off a climax. A sturdy, long-bearded giant walked to the bank entrance amid the sound of gongs and drums and firecrackers behind the crowd. In the surprised eyes of the crowd, his strong right arm muscles bulged, and he successfully grabbed the gold bar that made countless people jealous. After holding on for 25 drops of water, he left in a chic manner carrying the gold bar.

This giant was naturally Xie Hongxin in disguise, and the gold bar was replaced with a fake one while others were distracted. After all, even someone as strong as Hong Xin would not do something that violated common sense in physics. But this move undoubtedly gave people great confidence and hope, making them trust the bank and this event even more.

At this point, the gold bar activity ended successfully, but the people's enthusiasm for the money houses has not diminished. They are still willing to go to the money houses to deposit money, because everyone knows that depositing money in the money houses will really give interest, and there are discounts when buying things outside. Where can you find such a good thing?
And just a few days ago, Jingxing Bank launched a product that is said to be more favorable than deposits - a wealth management product. This product is said to be principal-guaranteed and the income is higher than the interest, which attracted the attention of countless people. Although most people only have a half-understanding of wealth management products, it is enough to know that the principal is guaranteed to be higher than the interest! How can such a good thing be missed? So they flocked to the bank to consult about purchasing.

Everyone walked out of the bank with a smile on their face, as if they had seen their future wealthy life. However, the bank staff behind them were exhausted as dead dogs. They had to deal with a large number of customers and cumbersome business processes every day, and the work pressure was huge.
