Chapter 395 Bank
Shi Liu had breakfast with her adoptive father and mother at Ding's house before leaving.

Sui Lu and Shi Hong saw her out and got on the carriage. Seeing the eager looks in their eyes, Shi Liu couldn't help but smile.

Fu Dong secretly glanced at his own girl, "They both want to serve you. If you want, it's just a matter of asking. Sui Lu is good at cooking, and Shi Hong is good at sewing. They are both capable maids who can handle things on their own."

Shi Liu tilted her head to look at her, "If I really ask them to stay by my side, I won't take you with me when I go out next time, okay?"

Fu Dong felt uncomfortable for a moment, but soon calmed down and said, "As long as they sincerely serve the young lady, it doesn't matter to me."

Shi Liu burst out laughing, "Whether Xichun is good at cooking or Nianxia is good at needlework, I treat them the same way. But none of them are as special as you, Fudong!"

If you take a maid with good hearing with you when you go out, you can prevent many hidden dangers.

Hearing this, Fu Dong couldn't help but laugh. The curve of her mouth couldn't be suppressed, but she had to pretend to be calm, "Don't worry, young lady. I will be very attentive and serve you well!"

After saying that, he couldn't help but say, "Actually, a young lady should bring two more people to serve her when she goes out. Look at Miss Liu Qi, she always brings two maids with her when she goes out. There is also a maid following her. I heard that the maids in the courtyards of the young ladies of the wealthy families in the capital city are served by a large number of maids, first-class and second-class, those who take care of hairpins, rings and jewelry, those who take care of tea and snacks, those who take care of clothes, those who take care of money, and those who follow her out, all of them have their own duties!"

She felt that her daughter should also start to show her face!

Shi Liu listened and thought about the four maids at the beginning. Lianqiu was given to the eldest sister, Xichun and Nianxia were busy in the kitchen at home on weekdays. As long as Fudong was with her, there were indeed a lot of jewelry and clothes in the room now, and Fudong had to take care of them. He was really too busy to handle it - Sui Lu and Shi Hong were really good.

She secretly pondered that with her current family background, she would not have to worry about not being able to support people, so it seemed that there would be nothing wrong with having a few more life assistants.

The purpose of making money is to enjoy life, right?
She looked at Fudong and said, "Fudong, what you said makes a lot of sense. Miss, let me think about it."

Fu Dong nodded, "Then girl, where are we going today?"

"Today, let's go to the bank."

-

Huitong Money House is the largest money house in Dajin. Unlike other money houses that only deal in silver exchange, Huitong Money House can deposit silver, make foreign exchange, and lend money.

I heard that it was the property of Prince Su. Who is Prince Su? He is the younger brother of the current emperor, and the emperor values ​​this younger brother very much.

This is also indispensable for Huitong Money House to develop so fast and so well and become the number one money house in Dajin.

After all, how can it be bad to have the support of the king of a country?

Therefore, it is safer to keep your money anywhere else than in Huitong Money House.

The Liu family is a major customer of Huitong Money House.

Today, Huitong Money House has branches all over Dajin. The silver notes of Huitong Money House are also commonly used in Dajin. They can be exchanged for silver in any prefecture or county, which is very convenient.

What Shi Liu has to do today is to deal with the remaining fifty boxes.

They first arrived at the street where Huitong Money House was located, found a teahouse and sat down to have tea. Soon, Wu Cheng, Wu Liang and Wu Jin arrived.

They were responsible for delivering things to Erlizhuang yesterday and rushed back to the city early in the morning, so they were faster than others.

When he saw Shi Liu, Wu Cheng hurriedly reported what happened yesterday, "Miss, as you ordered, the thirty boxes have been arranged properly. No one knows where they are hidden except for Jiang Zhuangtou."

Shi Liu nodded to show that she understood, and asked them to sit down and have a cup of tea and some snacks.

Then he asked the three of them to go with Hu Zhen, in groups of two, to transport the boxes from the house in the north of the city to Liuliu Hutong, which was not far away.

Today, Wu Cheng and his men came to the city in a mule cart from the farm. The cart was covered with a canopy, so no one could see what was inside. After all fifty boxes were pulled to Liuliu Hutong, Hu Zhen asked Wu Jin to go to Yuqian Hutong in the south of the city to bring Ma Chun and others over.

Ma Chun and his companions have lived in Yuqian Hutong for several days now, and they are almost going moldy from idleness. Yesterday, Wu Ping and his companions were called away, but they were not invited, and they also have sores under their buttocks and cannot sit still.

Today they were finally called. When Ma Chun saw Wu Jin, he asked, "Are you taking us to see the girl? What are we going to do today?"

Wu Jin said: "The girl is waiting for us in the teahouse on Wanfu Street. Let's go to the girl's eldest brother's house in Liuliu Hutong to carry some things over to find the girl."

Ma Chun listened and nodded quickly without asking what needed to be transported.

When they arrived at Liuliu Hutong and met up with Hu Zhen and his two companions, Ma Chun rolled up his sleeves and helped carry boxes out of the house and put them onto the carriage. As soon as he started lifting the boxes, Ma Chun felt something was wrong.

He had also been assigned to escort silver before.

Here——

A thought flashed through Ma Chun's mind, but he didn't show it on his face. He had worked with the girl to cheat the rebels before, and he had no other way to go. He would become rich with the girl in his next life.

He may not be good at other things, but he can still do more and talk less about this.

The first lesson his grandfather taught him was that people should keep their word.

Soon, everyone drove to Wanfu Street.

Shi Liu watched from afar on the upper floor, then went downstairs and left the teahouse, just in time to meet the carriage.

After getting on the carriage, the group continued to move forward for a while and arrived at the Huitong Money House with a magnificent facade.

Shi Liu brought Hu Zhen and Ma Chun into the money shop, and saw the clerks busying around, with the sound of abacus ringing.

A waiter saw the three people coming in and came up to them, "Miss, are you here to get some silver?"

Pomegranate said, "Come and deposit the money."

When the clerk heard that it was a deposit, he quickly reported it to the shopkeeper. The shopkeeper recognized Shi Liu and invited Shi Liu to the small room inside to talk.

"I wonder how much silver Miss Li wants to deposit? The procedure for depositing silver in our Huitong Bank is to take 1 out of 20 for less than 10,000 taels, and 1 out of 10 for more than 10,000 taels, and so on. It is the same no matter how long you deposit. As long as you deposit silver in our Huitong Bank, no matter where in the world, as long as there is a Huitong Bank, you can withdraw it at any time with the bank's bill. It is extremely convenient and absolutely safe. "

The shopkeeper knew Shi Liu, and naturally knew that this was Shi Liu's first time to deposit money in Huitong Money House, so he explained it in more detail.

Pomegranate listened, and his mind was also turning.

The handling fee is one tenth of the amount above ten thousand taels, which means that if you deposit one hundred taels, you will get ten taels. It is really not cheap.

Tsk.

However, the fact that money can be withdrawn from Wantong Bank anywhere in Dajin is very convenient for businessmen who need to travel far and wide. After all, carrying a bank note is more convenient than carrying boxes of silver on hand.

Silver is afraid of being robbed by bandits, but banknotes are not, because even if bandits steal the banknotes, they cannot get the silver without knowing the corresponding code on the ticket stub.

Huitong Money House is so large and comprehensive, so it is natural that the fees are a bit higher.

Yes, the money houses here are different from the banks in later generations. When you deposit money in a bank, the bank will pay you interest, but when you deposit money in this money house, you have to pay the money house a custody fee. However, you can withdraw money anytime you want, which is better than a bank.

The thought was gone in an instant. After the shopkeeper finished speaking, Shi Liu took over the conversation a few breaths later and nodded, "I understand. I plan to deposit 50,000 taels today."
