The contract was soon approved by Min Ruoying. In his opinion, the Ming Dynasty was indeed sincere in this peace agreement. Although the price of weapons was indeed a bit outrageous, the payment method did not make the Chu court embarrassed. The Chu treasury does not have more money to buy weapons, but the entry of Changlong Bank has provided a good solution for Chu. The money for purchasing weapons was paid by Changlong Bank. What he had to do was pay interest, and in every year in the future, it would be a certain amount of capital to be paid to Changlong Bank, which would greatly alleviate the financial dilemma of Chu.

Of course, interest is required to borrow money. The only thing that makes Min Ruoying feel a little embarrassed is that Changlong Bank insists on the court's annual taxes as a guarantee.

Once the two parties signed a peace agreement, the fastest move was Changlong Bank. The senior executives of Changlong Bank actually arrived in Shangjing before the Ming Dynasty mission. The preliminary work had already been done. They bought a huge luxury house in the most lively area of ​​Shangjing. These days, they have been building a large building in the front yard, but there are high walls outside covering it, and people outside don’t know what they are doing.

Now everything has settled. When the wall used for covering outside is pushed down, the residue is transported away, and after a little cleaning, a brand new house appears in front of the people of Shangjing.

Speaking of buying such a large house in this area, it would naturally be difficult to change it to normal, and it would have to be a sky-high price. However, the opportunity for Changlong Bank to take action was when Min Ruoying was trapped in Luzhou and the Chu State was in a panic. The price at that time jumped and fell. Changlong Bank took action at the right time and picked up a big advantage.

Later, when Min Ruoying returned, the situation in Chu State gradually stabilized, and the price rebounded steadily again. The original owner of the house, which was also a famous family in Chu State, immediately developed a desire to repent. He wanted to use his power in Chu State to suppress the guy who bought the house to either return the goods or add a lot of money, but unexpectedly the other party would not eat the soft and hard things.

The original owner originally wanted to be the king, but the person who followed him found that the buyer was actually bigger than his owner, so even Princess Zhaohua's mansion could enter the house openly, and immediately gave up.

His own power is quite large, but compared with the royal family, what is it? Moreover, what is involved in this place is not a royal family. This buyer actually connects the royal families of the two countries of Da Chu and Ming. If you dare to cause trouble for him, you may be looking for death.

This was once again confirmed at the opening ceremony of the Suishou Changlong Bank. Not only did the Empress of the Ming Dynasty attend in person, but even the Chief Auxiliary of the Dachu also came to the scene to congratulate a group of officials.

Although Changlong Bank is a newcomer, the scenes that were set up in the capital have attracted everyone from the beginning.

What shocked the people of Shangjing even more was that on the day of opening, Changlong Bank's treasury silver was transported into Shangjing City continuously. On top of more than a dozen carriages, there were large boxes, and the silver in the big boxes that were deliberately opened almost blinded everyone's eyes.

Just looking at the silver taels on these carriages, you can roughly estimate that the treasury of Changlong Bank is as high as one million taels. This is the strength that no money house in the Ming Dynasty cannot have. In addition to earning commissions, the money house naturally needs to use it to lend and earn interest. Basically, no money house will put so much money in its own warehouse, where will it get moldy?

Changlong Bank officially opened, and went to Beijing and many money shops, and was wailing, and thousands of horses were familiar with each other. If you compete with strength, you can't compete with the backend, and you will be even more different. You can't live this life.

Except for the bosses of these small money shops, the others were extremely happy. Ordinary Shangjing people watched a big excitement. Not only did they open their eyes, but they also saw the big figures that they could not see at all, and even the legendary Princess Zhaohua. You know, even if the court blocked it tightly when Princess Zhaohua was in Zhao Prison, as Qin Feng became the Emperor of Ming Dynasty, it was finally spread out slowly. While everyone was amazed at Princess Zhaohua's strong temperament, they had to admire the unique vision of this beautiful girl in heaven. People chose a son-in-law and chose the future emperor. And I heard that this emperor favored Princess Zhaohua very much, and he has not accepted a concubine to favor Princess Zhaohua alone.

For the Chu court, of course, it was also a great thing. They basically did not spend a word in the treasury and obtained a large number of weapons from the Ming Dynasty. As for taking out a batch of silver from the tax every year to repay the principal and interest, it was not a big deal.

For the senior leaders of the Ming Dynasty, the successful implementation of Changlong Bank into the State of Chu, and the endorsement of the State of Chu will give the Ming Dynasty a good start to the invisible economic plunder of Da Chu. Using this as a fulcrum, slowly leverage the entire State of Chu's economy and finally control it in its hands. At that time, it will be necessary to live and die.

Among them, the happiest ones are the investors and owners of Changlong Bank.

This time, Changlong Bank was very happy and sang songs all the way to the happy road of happiness.

For Changlong, the so-called money to purchase weapons was naturally a transaction with the Ming Dynasty's Ming Dynasty, and they did not need to use a penny of their capital. In this process, the people of Chu could not see a penny of cash, and all the loans would be directly transferred from Changlong's account book to the account book of the Ming Dynasty's Ministry of Revenue. However, the principal and interest obtained from the Chu State court every year were actually from Changlong. Although the final flow was the Ming Dynasty's Ministry of Revenue, the commission alone was enough to make Changlong Bank make a fortune. Moreover, this was not a one-time transaction, and it would take place in all years in the future! With the nature of the Ming Dynasty, this business naturally had to be done for a long time until, well, until one day, when the Ming Dynasty decided to include Chu State in its territory, the business was not done.

In addition to making money, it is the general currency of the Ming Dynasty used by Changlong Bank. The promotion of paper money in Chu must require a process. Unlike in the Ming Dynasty, the court could use various means to force promotion, but here it can only be an asymptotic process, but the Changlong senior officials were not worried. First of all, they dealt with the Chu court and only used the Ming Dynasty currency to settle the settlement. With this in the future, the credit of paper money has been basically established.

Secondly, with the full rollout of trade between the two sides, the merchants of the Ming Dynasty will continue to pour into the State of Chu. However, these Ming merchants were used to using the banknotes of the Ming Dynasty. In the past, they either carried a lot of gold and silver with them, or passed through some cross-border bankers of the State of Chu. However, the commission was heartbroken. Now they only need to deposit the money in the Changlong Bank in the State of Chu. When they arrived in the State of Chu, they would withdraw it. There was no commission at all. If they were kept for a long time, there would be interest to get. With the promotion of these merchants step by step, I believe that the banknotes of the Ming Dynasty would have more and more markets. After all, it was more convenient for them to use than heavy copper coins and eye-catching silver. Only by solving the credit problem, the circulation of banknotes would naturally be no problem.

Paper money had completely established a credit system endorsed by the state in the Ming Dynasty, and the Chu State was well-informed, especially those merchants naturally knew this. When they also began to use it in China, it could play a very obvious driving role.

Of course, there is also the business methods of Changlong Bank. Changlong believes that when they officially started their business in Shangjing City, the original small money houses in Shangjing City would either go bankrupt or obediently crawl at Changlong's feet and become Changlong's loyal lackeys.

After the hustle and bustle of the day, Shangjing City gradually returned to quiet. The hustle and bustle of the day became the topic of conversation at the dinner table and on the bedside of countless Shangjing people. At this time, in the headquarters of Changlong Bank, it was still very lively. Feng Ke, the big boss here in Changlong, is holding a banquet to entertain some people with strong reputation, wealth and power in Shangjing City.

The purpose is of course to attract business!

These people came here to surrender to Zun and Yu Gui, so they naturally had to have a good relationship with this Changlong boss. They are a big financial backer, so they might have to borrow it at any time.

But everyone is a person who wants to save face, so the real purpose is inevitably hidden in the words of the mixed and round song. Feng Ke held the wine glass and opened the right words, which were beyond everyone's expectations, but also felt a sense of clarity. A relaxed laughter rang out in the lobby.

"Dear sirs, sirs, and good friends!" Feng Ke said with a smile: "Don't hide it. Our Changlong arrived in Shangjing City, and the purpose is naturally to make money. I believe everyone will not have any doubts about our Changlong's strength. Even if you doubt us, there is no need to doubt whether the taxes collected by the Ministry of Revenue of the Great Chu Dynasty every year?"

There was another burst of laughter in the hall.
