The main targets of the gold exchange bank are merchants, aristocratic families, and nobles in Yizhou. Only a very small number of Shu brocade businessmen from other places who regularly travel to Yizhou will deposit their money in the gold exchange bank to avoid unnecessary risks caused by excessive carrying frequency.

.

Among these customers, the four major families of Yizhou, Li, Ren, Wang, and Jia, have the largest deposits of money. Only the large withdrawals of these four families will have an adverse impact on the gold exchange bank. However, Li Qi has already

The interests of the gold exchange bank were tied to the four major families, and Li Qi was also supported by them through hard work, so it was unlikely that he would shoot himself in the foot.

Other small merchants have limited strength. Only by joining together to run the bank will it be detrimental to the gold exchange bank.

This kind of thing must be tied up and instigated by someone behind the scenes. If Li Qi catches him, he will die miserably.

Unless the Cao and Sun families are causing trouble and send people specifically to attack Li Qi Group's credit system in Yizhou.

Li Qi told Li Fudao: "In fact, the inventory of the gold exchange bank is enough to meet daily needs, but you have to pay attention to one thing: if someone suddenly deposits a large amount of money, then the person's details must be investigated thoroughly, and

You have to report it to me."

"In addition, I thought of a 'transfer' method. As long as they have the relevant materials provided by the money exchange bank, they can transfer money from one person's account to another, so they don't have to withdraw money every time.

So troublesome, and we were able to ensure adequate inventory."

Li Fu asked: "What relevant materials are needed?"

Li Qidao: "Such as a contract. Assuming that Zhang San wants to pay money to Li Si, Zhang San must first conduct identity verification, which is the same as Zhang San withdrawing money in person; then Zhang San submits a written application to transfer his account to

A part of the balance, such as one thousand yuan, is transferred to Li Si. At this time, the staff of our gold exchange bank will subtract one thousand yuan from Zhang San's account balance and add one thousand yuan to Li Si's account balance.

.”

Li Fudao: "This method of operation is not much different from withdrawing and depositing money, but it eliminates the process of withdrawing money and ensures sufficient inventory. Brother is really inscrutable. I can't wait."

In fact, customers are not afraid of withdrawing and depositing money. What they are afraid of is that the payee does not deposit the money after receiving it.

Therefore, through transfer, cultivating everyone's behavior habit of leaving money in the gold exchange bank is the most powerful place for the transfer function.

On the other hand, in order to stabilize the four major families in Yizhou and bind everyone's interests more tightly, marriage is also one of the effective ways.

So Li Qi spoke: "Sun De, do you want a wife or not?"

Li Fu said respectfully: "An elder brother is like a father. Sun De dare not disobey the orders of his parents and the advice of his matchmaker."

Li Qi: "..."

Look at what you said, I'm not taking you to the execution ground.

But at least Li Fu agreed to the marriage, and asked Ren Xu to go to Jia's house to find a woman of similar age and high moral character to marry Li Fu.

Suddenly one day, someone came to report that Liu Xuande of Xinye had sent an envoy to wish Li Yizhou a happy wedding.

Li Qi was stunned. What kind of wedding celebration is this? It's almost the anniversary!

It can only be said that if Liu Bei sent an envoy to the door at this time, there must be some major military matter.

"Please... no, I'll go and greet you personally!" Li Qi stood up, straightened his clothes a little, and walked out of the office.

The visitor was Sun Qian, Liu Bei's current diplomatic ambassador, followed by several sergeants.

It seems that these sergeants are not to protect Sun Qian, but to escort someone for Sun Qian.

An old minister from Shu saw the man who was tied up with five flowers and said in surprise: "Liu Mao..."

Li Qi welcomed Sun Qian into the hall and sat down separately for the honored guests.

Sun Qian cupped his hands and said: "When the emperor's uncle heard about Li Yizhou's wedding, he was fighting with Cao's army in Fancheng. Now Fancheng has been captured by the emperor's uncle, and he also captured the enemy general Liu Hao. Only then did he have the opportunity to send Qian to escort Liu Hao to congratulate him. I also hope that Li Yizhou will not blame the emperor for being disrespectful."

Li Qidao: "Gongyou is too polite. I hope that when Gongyou returns to Xinye, he can say hello to the emperor's uncle Yide on my behalf."

After that, Li Qiren prepared ten ounces of Qingcheng snow buds, ten ounces of Emei snow buds and ten ounces of big leaf tea for Liu Bei to taste.

When Sun Qian saw that it was a tribute-level gift, he was naturally filled with joy.

Li Qi also ordered a banquet to be prepared for Sun Qian.

During the banquet, when talking about the alliance against Cao Cao, Li Qi said: "I estimate that after Cao Cao's thieves pacify the north, their first target will be Jingzhou, and then they will take advantage of the situation to take Jiangdong. I wonder if the emperor has any clever strategies to defend against the enemy?"

Sun Qiandao: "The emperor's benevolence has won the hearts of the people in the new field. He also has Yun Chang, Yide's courage, and the strategy of a single military advisor. We have defeated Cao's army in several formations not long ago. Our army is in great momentum, but we are still afraid of Cao's thieves." Not coming."

Li Qi grasped the straw, are you so blinded by victory?

But then I thought about it, Sun Qian was not such a superficial person.

By boasting so much, he probably wanted to increase Liu Bei's prestige or value so that he could discuss cooperation with other princes.

Li Qidao: "If the traitor Cao comes personally with hundreds of thousands of troops, what will the emperor do?"

Sun Qian: "This..."

How about it, don’t dare to brag about it!

It seems that I am still quite confident.

Li Qidao: "In the small area of ​​​​Xinye, it may be difficult to confront Cao Cao's thieves head-on. If there is difficulty, we can tactically retreat to Jiangxia and unite with Sun Quan to fight against Cao Cao."

Sun Qian was a little unhappy after hearing this. Shouldn't you have said that if you were in trouble, you could come and seek refuge in Yizhou? Why did you drive us to Jiangxia?

Sun Qian said: "Huang Zu of Jiangxia might not be able to tolerate the emperor's uncle."

Li Qi smiled and said: "Don't worry, my lord, Huang Zu once shot Sun Jian, and Jiangdong always wanted to avenge this bloody feud. Now Huang Zu is very old, and his army is helpless. Sooner or later, he will die at the hands of Sun Quan of Jiangdong. Until then, let's talk about it first Liu Qi, the eldest son of Liu Jingzhou, stationed troops in Jiangxia to support them."

Sun Qian was suddenly enlightened as if the clouds were clearing and the sun appeared.

But why don't you invite us to Yizhou to join us?

Facing Sun Qian's doubts, Li Qi said: "If Cao's thieves raise a large army to go south, and the emperor and Sun Quan join forces to fight against Cao's thieves, I will send troops from Yizhou to attack Cao's thieves and make them unable to see each other. Then Cao's thieves can be defeated. The Han Dynasty can flourish."

Sun Qian was overjoyed and asked: "But how to achieve an alliance with Sun Quan? What should we do if Sun Quan surrenders from the north?"

This is a very good question!

What Li Qi is most worried about now is who will discuss cooperation with Sun Quan without Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang.

Now the best candidate is right in front of us, and it is none other than Sun Gongyou.
