"You haven't met the man you like yet?" Chen Xirong tried hard to understand, thinking that she finally had a smile.
In this month, Chen Xirong has suffered too many looks and cold treatment. Whether it is a business partner, a close friend, a relative, or even a servant at home, everyone has a different look in their eyes.
taste.
Only Bai Song didn't have anything weird about him. Only when Bai Song looked at himself, he didn't look like he was looking at a monster. This made Miss Chen very satisfied.
Bai Song sighed: "Hey, don't think about it too much. In that case, I'll try contacting someone else about saving money."
"If you can help me regain my rights in the Chen family, I am willing to deposit all the property of the Chen family into your bank."
Suddenly, Chen Xirong spoke with a firm expression, and then continued.
"Although my Chen family has suffered serious losses and has no cash recently. However, the family still has a lot of gold and silver treasures that have been hoarded for many years. They are usually hidden at home and do not dare to be exposed to the light. If converted into silver, it should be no less than 30,000 taels."
"Thirty thousand taels!"
Bai Song was shocked, and finally understood what it meant that a skinny camel was bigger than a horse.
Chen Jiaming lost 15,000 taels of silver on his face, but he could still come up with 30,000 taels of silver?
"How can I help you?" Bai Song was excited. If he had thirty thousand taels of silver as a starting capital, there would be no difficulty in running the bank. As long as the bank had a firm footing at the start, it would be able to establish its own credibility.
This is an extremely critical link.
"I heard that the five thousand taels of silver have been found."
Bai Song nodded, he saw the five thousand taels of silver being sent to Hekou Town with his own eyes.
The Holy Lotus Sect in Hekou Town was completely dead. In the end, Cheng Hentie led people to finish the work, and even took the credit on himself. The five thousand taels of silver naturally fell into his hands.
"The money belongs to my Chen family, but the imperial army doesn't want to return it. My Chen family has asked the imperial court for help, but I don't know if I can get the money back? I don't know how much I can get back. This is the most important thing in the family at the moment.
, if you can help me get that batch of money back, my status with uncle Zou Jian will change. I heard that you have some friends in Li Jingjun, I wonder if this is feasible?"
Bai Song thought about it and felt that it was feasible, so he immediately agreed: "No problem, I'll go and ask."
…
It was very important to get the support of the Chen family. Bai Song got off the flower boat and went to the prefect's mansion, bluntly saying that he wanted to see the prince.
The prince was playing chess in the small pavilion in the backyard of the prefect's mansion. When he saw Bai Song coming, he stopped and asked, "Why are you here again? Didn't you say you quit?"
Bai Song frowned and didn't know what to say, so he asked: "I heard that the five thousand taels of silver stolen from the Chen family have been recovered. But Li Jing is holding on to the money and refuses to return it?"
"The Chen family came to you to ask for money?" Li Zhan asked curiously.
"yes."
"This matter is not easy to handle, and it is not your turn to handle it. The Chen family has already mentioned it to me, but after all, it was found by someone else. It is stolen money, and it is not something that can be paid back. Even if it is Li Jing's
It’s not unusual to seize them all.”
"My credit has been taken by the army, and you just keep silent?"
Li Zhan looked at Bai Song: "If you are a member of the secret imperial edict, of course I will not allow people in the army to bully you, but if you don't do it anymore, what does it have to do with me?"
"You don't care if your surname is Cheng and you want to kill me?"
"Killing you? What do you mean?" Li Zhan stopped looking at Hope and turned to look at Bai Song.
Bai Song then recounted what Cheng Hentie said and everything he did that night after he led his men to Hekou Town and found him in the crowd.
"If it hadn't been for Cheng Hentie, the current situation wouldn't have been caused. Because he exposed me, he had no choice but to strike first."
"Are you telling the truth?!" Li Zhan's expression immediately turned serious. This was the first time he heard what Bai Song said.
"There were thousands of people in the army that day, and all of them witnessed this scene. You can verify the authenticity by just asking!"
Li Zhan stood up with a sullen face: "Chen Yaojin's son is so lawless that even the people in the secret edict department dare to leak it! You should go first. I already know about this matter and will definitely give you an answer. The emperor has an imperial edict, and I will give you an answer."
Officials of the Tang Dynasty, regardless of rank or affiliation, must unconditionally cooperate with the secret edict department."
…
Time passes day by day, and the promotion of Mobai Bank continues.
With free eggs and rice, the people are brainwashed every day.
Continuously, the bank has received deposits of nearly one thousand taels of silver.
But this amount of money is far from enough.
In the past few days, Bai Song and Qing'er have been in close contact, and they discuss every day how to roll out the underground intelligence network behind the bank.
It was late at night, and Bai Song still stayed in Qing'er's small attic, under the moonlit candlelight.
Bai Song looked carefully at the map of Jixian County drawn by Qing'er, but did not notice that Xiang'er outside the attic was looking at the lighted place upstairs with some melancholy.
At the door downstairs, Dongxiang stepped forward tactfully and said proactively: "Madam, the young master and Miss Qing'er have been discussing the future development of the bank all day long, and there has been no intimate action."
After that, he took the initiative to inform the young master of his day's movements, where he went and who he met, without concealing anything.
After hearing this, Xiang'er nodded, and added, knowingly or not, "I'm not worried about what happened between my husband and Na Qing'er. I just see that my husband is busy every day, and I, my wife, am unable to share the worries."
The mistress and the maid whispered something outside the building, and Xiang'er left quietly. Dongxiang was busy trying to comfort her, saying that she would not let the young master mess around as she was watching over him.
And in the building...
Qing'er drew a map of Ji County, selected several key points in the county, and said: "These are the thirteen points I planned. As long as shops are opened in these thirteen locations, we can use hidden sentries to
The entire Jixian County is under complete surveillance. Anyone who enters or leaves Jixian County will be informed as soon as possible. Even if someone from the Holy Lotus Sect infiltrates, we will have enough time to prepare."
Thirteen points are thirteen branches, and too much money has been invested in it. And this is just to monitor a county.
Bai Song's plan was not just for a county, but for the entire Tang Dynasty, and the capital investment was simply a bottomless pit.
Bai Song looked troubled, and Qing'er also asked: "Mr. Bai, is it because you don't have enough funds?"
"Even if you rent a shop, the bank will only have more than a thousand taels of silver in its account, and some more will be used for turnover."
Qing'er didn't say much. Instead, she took out a brocade box and opened it: "These are some of Qing'er's private jewelry. Master, just pawn them all."
Bai Song smiled and shook his head: "No, if we choose this path, we can't complete it in one go. We have just started now. We will open one store after another. One day we will be able to build a reliable intelligence
