When Zhao Hao sent Prison Cai back to the government office and went to Lengxiang Garden, it was already three o'clock in the morning.

He asked to open the door and planned to go back to the house to sleep quietly, but when he walked to the edge of the pool, he saw that the lights were still on in the Shuiyun Pavilion.

Just as hesitated whether to say hello, Jiang Xueying had heard the report, put on a beige cloak and hurried out of the pavilion.

"Brother, thank you all the hard work." Seeing Zhao Hao, the concern on Jiang Xueying's face turned into a peaceful smile.

"Have you been waiting for me?" Mr. Zhao couldn't help feeling warm.

"I think that the bank will open tomorrow, my brother may come back." Jiang Xueying smiled slightly shyly and said, "It just so happens that there is still a lot of things to be busy with, so I can't sleep early."

"Brother, let's go into the house to talk." As she said that, she asked Xiao Yun'er to call the kitchen and quickly deliver the prepared midnight snack.

In the Shuiyun Pavilion, Zhao Hao removed the brocade robe, changed into a small Songjiang cloth jacket, warm thin cotton pants, and sat down at the dining table.

At this time, the midnight snack also came. There were wontons with thin skin as garlic and a little pink meat filling in the middle; there were fish-flavored spring rolls that were yellow on the outside and tender on the inside, fragrant and juicy; there were red bean balls, chicken head rice... all prepared according to his preferences.

Mr. Zhao scooped a spoonful of small wontons made of powder and jade, and ate them happily while obsessing with the silver notes given to him.

Half a tael is water-green; one tael is indigo cyan; two taels are crimson; five taels are purple; ten taels are amber.

Five denominations, five colors, exudes a strong luster, just like five works of art, beautiful!

Each pattern is so fine, complex patterns, and there are three to four auxiliary colors of different colors. The watermark of the word "Jiangnan" is enough to make the counterfeiter cry in the toilet.

"It's so amazing. You can print out such a high-quality silver note in such a short time." Mr. Zhao praised sincerely.

"How can it be that fast?" Jiang Xueying couldn't help but smile bitterly: "This is a sample banknote made by Wu Ji's master."

As she said that, she smiled softly and said, "You have to ask the boss to make a decision to publish it, right?"

"No problem, go print quickly." Zhao Hao said with some concern: "Can you catch up with the opening?"

"It will take ten days and half a month to print it out." Jiang Xueying said: "But don't worry, you won't be delayed if you can complete it before the end of the month."

When it comes to business management, Zhao Hao couldn't catch up with Sister Jiang. Seeing her say this, he felt relieved not to ask more questions.

The next day is the eighth day, the auspicious day of the zodiac.

In the center of Suzhou City, on Wolong Street, Leqiao at the junction of the two counties, there are gongs and drums, firecrackers, lions and dragons dancing, and people are crowded with people.

Today is the opening ceremony of Jiangnan Bank. It can be said that the wise men have arrived and guests gathered.

The Hua family in Wuxi, the two Wang families in Taicang, the Xu family in Jinling, the Lu family in Suzhou, the Gu family, the Shen family in Zhu family, the Pan family in Pinghu, the Xiang family in Jiaxing, the Dongting Chamber of Commerce, Yangzhou salt merchants, and the leading figures in Hui merchants, almost no one fell swoop, and all came.

In addition, Suzhou magistrate Cai Guoxi, two magistrates of Changzhou, Wu County, and Susong's food supervision route also came to support the event with their respective assistant officials.

Such lively scenes are rare even in Suzhou City. Especially after the riots last month, they are even more valuable.

The people who watched the fun blocked the entire Wolong Street, crowding the yamen runners who maintained order into a slant and lost their human form.

It was just such a glorious occasion that not only Mr. Zhao did not come, but even Jiang Xueying was unwilling to show up in public.

So, the mascot of Jiangnan Group, the chairman of the chairman, Mr. Hua Cha, once again put on the battle and pulled down the red silk cloth on the plaque together with Suzhou prefect Cai Guoxi.

When the applause and cheers stopped, Cai Guoxi delivered a warm speech. First of all, he thanked Jiangnan Group for its strong support for Suzhou Prefecture. He also announced that as part of the riots last month, Suzhou Prefecture and one state and seven counties under it will no longer collect any cash bank!

All tax and silver, etc. that the people and merchants must first deposit into Jiangnan Bank and deliver the bank notes to the government.

This will prevent cunning officials and evil soldiers from extorting large-scale extortion on the grounds that the quality of the broken silver that the people have paid is not enough.

When the citizens heard this, they suddenly felt that it made sense. Almost all of them had been subjected to similar blackmail. Often, in addition to the tax amount of one or two silver coins, they had to pay more than three or four cents for fire consumption, which made the people unable to bear the trouble.

According to this new method, although it is a little troublesome, those corrupt officials cannot blackmail them on the grounds of fire consumption.

Citizens asked loudly: "How much does Jiangnan Bank charge for fire?"

Priest Cai looked at the mascot... Chairman Oh Buhua, and then heard Huacha say tremblingly: "No more than half a percent."

"Wow!" The citizens were excited. "Take it serious?"

"Take it seriously." Hua Cha nodded with a smile and praised secretly. The young man is just brave.

The citizens immediately cheered and suddenly realized that the Prime Minister Cai was not so disgusting, and the Jiangnan Bank was even more a living Bodhisattva who saved the suffering.

In fact, the loss of smelting of broken silver is about one percent to two percent. Jiangnan Bank closed five points, which has exceeded three or four points of ordinary silver shops and silver shops.

In fact, according to Zhao Hao's original intention, it is enough to only charge one or two points, ensuring that it is not a loss.

But after thinking about it, he still took the initiative to tell Cai Guoxi that the bank would charge five points of fire consumption and pay the three points as "franchise fees".

Cai Guoxi was of course happy. The salary of officials in the Ming Dynasty was meager and he lived all by relying on bad rules and regular practices.

Of course, his dignified prefect doesn't look down on the little bit of fire and money, but the people below are still pointing at this little bit of food.

However, if Priest Cai knew that Jiangnan would soon implement a whip method, then his attitude towards this franchise fee would definitely not be so frivolous.

It’s not a big deal to keep blocking the streets. After the ceremony outside, Huacha and his son and a group of senior executives of Jiangnan Group invited all the guests to visit the business hall on the first floor of the bank.

With limited places, ordinary people can only come in another day and enjoy the pleasure.

In fact, there is nothing good inside. The high counter iron fence is almost the same as the original Wu Ji layout, except that there are many long benches for people who are doing business to sit on.

But when the guests went up to the VIP floor on the second floor, they couldn't help but lit up. The decoration and furnishings on this floor were much more luxurious.

As soon as you enter, there is a spacious and bright lounge with blue jacquard carpets on the floor. There are a row of chairs on the carpet, and exquisite refreshments and fruits are placed on the table next to the chairs for VIPs waiting to do business.

Outside the lounge door is a long corridor, with six single business rooms on both sides, separated by thick mahogany. Once the door is closed, there is no way for the customer to do what business it does.

The VIPs praised the situation. The lounge was nothing, and other families also had areas specially prepared for the guests, and the conditions were much better than Jiangnan Bank. However, this single-person business room brought people a great sense of security.

Several VIPs said on the spot that they wanted to transfer the deposit to Jiangnan Bank.
