Chapter 272 Lixin
After Yu Qiuhei rushed back to the territory, Masayuki Sanada immediately started to make arrangements. He took advantage of the New Year and the population was relatively dense, and arranged for Uchiha Aoka to lead his ninjas to follow Semine Yoshihiro and join the Mitsubishi caravan that went to trade to enter the Mino territory.
The bank knowledge interview conducted by Naoe Tadaehiro also started as scheduled. Chang Panbei's newly organized 400 soldiers were executed for the first time in the form of collective action to serve as examiners in various villages, which was also a training exercise to integrate the entire army.
In the examination room of a village southwest of Kurota City.
"Hello, old man." As an interviewer, Shui Yuanzijing said hello respectfully to the old man. The old man kept saying "I dare not" and tried to kneel down on Shui Yuanzijing.
"Old man, this is not allowed!" Shui Yuanzi hurriedly helped the old man up, "My highness said that everyone is born equal. He cannot control other people. If he sees his subordinates kneeling down or being bowed down by others, he will be in trouble!"
"I won't say much," Shui Yuanzijing looked at the old man who was confused and smiled and took out the question paper in his hand: "Please listen to the question. The following is the first question, which is a question of right and wrong."
"Will His Highness Yuqiu's People's Bank ask for storage fees from the deposited customers?"
"No, no, no, of course I won't want it!" the old man waved his hand in a hurry, "Your Highness Yuqiu will pay interest!"
"Congratulations, the answer to the first question is correct." Shui Yuanzijing said while drawing the word "六" on a piece of paper next to him.
"The second question is, in His Royal Highness Yuqiu's People's Bank of China, is there a higher interest on three-year fixed deposits, or is it a higher interest on one-year fixed deposit?"
"Of course it's three years!" the old man replied hurriedly, "I've memorized this! If you save the money for the whole time, the current period is five cents a year, ten cents a year, and two-year period seems to be fifteen cents a year, and then more and more. The highest is six-year period! Thirty cents a year!"
"Congratulations, I've answered the second question correctly," Shui Yuanzijing continued to draw the correct words. After the old man met all ten questions, he immediately handed the 500-dollar money as a bonus to the old man and watched the old man leave with great gratitude.
"Next." Water atom whispered loudly.
In this way, the exam lasted for three days, and the exams in the entire territory were successfully held, and basically no one failed. Seeing that his banking rules were basically familiar to the people, Yu Qiuping ordered the "People's Bank" that had been prepared for a long time to officially open!
·
However, with ambitions, he had to accept the reality that the bank business was not so good.
Many of the people come to save money, but basically they save dozens of coins or hundreds of coins - this is not the amount Yu Qiuping wants. It can be seen that these people do not seem to expect to get much interest from the bank, and come to save money, which seems to be more in the sense that they want to show their honest attitude to Yu Qiu's family - and use the bank as a warehouse.
Yu Qiuping even heard rumors from the bottom, saying that Yu Qiuping's move was to make money by vain and make money for everyone, and then he could make money by another place after a few years. Although Yu Qiuping has a reputation of keeping trust, these stingy people who have been stingy for life dare not save their savings in Yu Qiuping's bank. Some people also pointed out that Yu Qiuping's bank looks like a land warehouse, but is actually a large-scale loan agency! If he is really confident of paying back the money, how could he promise to pay so much interest - obviously he wanted to cheat everyone and give him money!
For ordinary people, if you have been in the bank for six years, you can earn 180 yuan in vain. This is something you can't even think about! As the saying goes, those who are not rational should be careful! Therefore, these people suspect that Yu Qiuping's preferential policies are obviously bad intentions, so they do not believe in Yu Qiuping's credit.
"Kuroye, do you have any good solutions?" Sena Yoshino, who came back from Mino, seemed to be in trouble when he saw that the bank was in trouble, and he was helpless.
"Ji Bingwei, there are naturally solutions, but it may cost you." Yu Qiuping smiled bitterly.
"What!" Sena's Yoshinobu was indeed as expected by Akihira, jumped up, "Hongye! Say it again! You have already spread nearly 500 coins to promote bank rules before!"
"Didn't I even bribed the people's hearts last time?" Yu Qiuping explained hurriedly.
"What's the excuse you used this time!" Sena Yoshihiro asked aggressively: "You prodigal son!"
"Ji Bingwei! I can't bear to leave my child and can't trap the wolf!" Yu Qiu retorted and said, "You iron rooster!"
·
On December 27, a few days before the Chinese New Year, the Yuqiu family sent acting officials to various villages suddenly began to promote to the people, saying that on December 29, there would be a good show in the west of Kurota Town and the city of the west of Kurota Town. The people who were idle and had nothing to do, but heard that they still had money to take, they rushed to the city of the west of the city on the morning of the 29th.
At the entrance of Kuroda Castle, a stage was set up at some point. Next to the stage, a log about one meter high stood, and on the stage, there was a storyteller-style samurai Yuqiu family dressed as a storyteller holding an iron trumpet and shouting hard.
"Don't miss it when you pass by!" The warrior shouted loudly: "Send money! Send money! Anyone with the strength and courage will arrive first and you will be rich!"
"You subordinate, it's not bad," Yu Qiuhei, who was hiding in the room beside him, watched the samurai perform hard, and smiled at Semine Yoshino, who was standing beside him, "It's very eloquent!"
"His name is Tomoda Nobuhiro," Senaya Yoshinobu replied, "I recruited it at Okawa Shin, and worked with me to handle the caravan and bank signs. The young man was very smart and very good, so he gave him a slight identity."
At this time, Tomota Nobuhiro watched with satisfaction as more and more people gathered in the audience, and even some people started to make a fuss. When the question was about how to give money, Tomota Nobuhiro, who was so busy, shouted loudly: "Dear fellow villagers! Our Highness Hongye has ordered! We should recruit people with strength and courage!"
He said as he pointed his other hand at the log standing beside the stage and whispered: "There is a log there! Just put it there! That three-foot-high log!"
"Listen, fellow villagers!" Tomoda Nobuhiro shouted loudly again: "My Highness said, who can transport this log to the bank hall in Kuroda City first, and will reward him with ten coins!"
As soon as he finished speaking, hundreds of people around him were in a panic. Ten guan coins, that's ten guan coins! Ten guan coins can be said to be the difference between a dilapidated house and a small rich peasant! If you can really get ten guan coins, you can have enough food and clothing in several years! Even 500 ci is a huge attraction to ordinary people, let alone huge sums of ten guan coins!
"Ten guan coins! Ten guan coins! Nothing wrong!" Tomoda Nobuhiro repeated over and over again, "As long as someone can move this log to the bank! That's fine!"
However, no one of the hundreds of people below came forward. Although each of them was very envious of this ten-minus money, and their bodies were trembling with excitement. Noise, noise and cheers were endless, and the crowd was even crowded. Everyone stared at the three-foot-high log - this was a golden ten-minus money! The thin log didn't look heavy, and any person could carry it as long as he was not a baby.
However, even though everyone's eyes were almost spitting out fire when they looked at the log, no one dared to move forward. The reason is very simple, just like they dared to deposit money in the bank - they didn't believe that pies would fall from the sky! They didn't believe that Yu Qiu's bank would give them money, nor did they believe that moving a log would get so much money! With such a big cheapness, these honest and honest people didn't dare to pick it up. Look at me, and I look at you, but no one dared to go. They all doubt whether Yu Qiuping was cheating and wanted to use strange methods to deceive them.
"Our Highness Hongye has always done what he said!" Nobuhiro Tomoda shouted anxiously: "Your Highness said he would give money, he would definitely give money! Don't doubt it!"
However, no matter how Tomota Nobuhiro shouted, no one behind the people who were eager to try it out dared to step forward.
"This, no one thinks about this happening," Yu Qiuping was a little embarrassed among the group of onlookers around him, "But it doesn't matter! Didn't Shang Yang fail to move the wood to Lixin at that time?"
"How did Shang Yang solve it?" Semei Yoshihiro asked.
Yu Qiuping smiled and patted Semine Yoshihiro with embarrassment, and said with a smile: "I, Shang Yang, make money!"
"What does it mean?" Seine Yoshihiro asked curiously.
Yu Qiuhei did not answer Sena's Yoshinobu, but walked out of the house and shouted to Tomoda Nobuhiro on the stage: "Tomoda Nobuhiro!" Yu Qiuhei waved his hand and said loudly: "Add more money! Fifty knots!"
"Hongye! You dare!" Seme Yoshihiko, who had suddenly woken up, suddenly rushed out of the house, covered Yu Qiuping's mouth regardless of concern, and was about to pull Yu Qiuping into the house, "You prodigal son!" Seme Yoshihiko cursed sternly: "Isn't it money really a money!"
However, it was too late. Tomoda Nobuhiro had heard Yu Qiuping's shout. He paused and shouted again to the hundreds of people watching around: "My Highness Hongye said! Increase the price! Those who can move the logs to the bank will be rewarded with Samurai Kan!"
"Wow!" The whole crowd suddenly became boiling, and everyone screamed excitedly - fifty taels! This is enough money to make an ordinary family live without worries about food and clothing!
There must be a brave man under heavy rewards. However, the brave man is not the people in Yuqiuping's territory, but a young man who happened to pass by. Without saying a word, he rolled up his sleeves and rushed forward, carried the log and ran into the city, as if he was afraid that others would steal his log. The people who were waiting to watch the fun rushed up and followed the young man into Kuroda City, and saw him put the log in the lobby of the bank - and then they saw their lord wearing a red leaf shawl, putting the tray containing fifty taels of silver in his hand!
"I, Yuqiu Red Leaves, always do what I say," Yuqiuping strode to the door of the bank, pointed to the 50 guan in the youth pallet with one hand, and pointed to the bank's plaque with the other hand, and said: "I will never break my promise if I agree!"
The crowd suddenly burst into pieces, and everyone complained, blaming why they didn't seize the opportunity to earn 50 guan in vain! However, relying on this trick to move the wood to establish a letter, Yu Qiuping immediately convinced everyone of his credit - this lord could give 50 guan for his promise, let alone a little interest! Pie will really fall from the sky!
On that day, the people who came to deposit immediately filled the entire bank. The amount of deposits accepted by the People's Bank of China in one day exceeded the previous sum. Of course, Yu Qiuping knew that it was probably impossible to receive more deposits. After all, the resources in the hands of the people were limited, and even if they were all deposited to Yu Qiuping, there would not be too many. However, compared to this, Yu Qiuping had a more exciting harvest.
·
"Why don't other people dare to move, just you who pass by dare to move logs?" Afterwards, Yu Qiuping asked the young man curiously.
"Because the villain asked, I heard that Your Highness had opened a bank that he wanted to borrow money from everyone, but it was not very smooth," the young man replied honestly: "I guess His Highness Hongye was worried that everyone could not trust his credit, so he deliberately wanted to use it to establish a letter. No matter how much it promised, Your Highness would pay the original price to the person who moved the log in order to win the trust of the people."
"The most important thing for doing business is credit," Yu Qiuping laughed, "You hit the nail on the head!"
"Your Highness is absurd!" The young man also smiled, "I can't master martial arts, so I have some insights in business."
"You are very insightful, come here to work," Yu Qiuping sent him an invitation, "Give you a samurai identity and go to business, what do you think?"
"Thank you, Your Highness! Your Highness is so kind!" The young man was stunned by the carrot. He even took 50 guan in vain, but he became a slightest head! This is such a great gift! He kowtowed and thanked him quickly.
"By the way, what's your name?"
"Little man, oh no, I've seen His Highness Yuqiu in Shimamatsuda Nagamori."
