Su Cha and Lin Chujiu had been thinking about opening the bank for a long time. The plan they had discussed was far more than what was written in the report. But of course, this doesn't mean that they were fooling them, but more like preventive measures.
The tension between Xiao Tianyao and the Emperor was so tense. Lin Chujiu and Su Cha know this better than anyone else. They would rather take more trouble more and take the initiative in their hands.
Moreover, it's only right for Lin Chujiu and Su Cha to be on guard. After all, didn't the Emperor and Prince Xiao Zian made calculations on them?
If it weren't for that 30 million in their hand, or if Lin Chujiu didn't take the initiative, the Emperor and Prince would have eaten Su Cha up to the bones. Su Cha will end up like just the crown prince, he could only get his part and nothing else.
Losing the right to manage the bank was not Su Cha wants to see. For the right to manage, he gave 40% of profit to the palace court. Didn't he sacrifice more than enough?
The Emperor and Prince Xiao Zian deliberately dragged things for a few days. Not only to put pressure on Su Cha but also because they arranged people to set up a template for engraving silver tickets.
It's just that, it wasn't easy to make a copy of silver tickets. At least, these given days are not enough.
Three days, only three days!
Although they can also refuse to let Lin Chujiu pay the compensation money before the bank opening, but… …
The emperor and Prince Xiao Zian knew very well that this was a plan set up by Xiao Wangfu. They made it clear that they have the right to operate the bank from the beginning, and they will not let it go.
The Emperor and Prince Xiao Zian thought that this bank matter was just to blind the Central Empire from seeing Xiao Tianyao. And so they didn't think too much, and just agree to Su Cha.
Although Su Cha has been waiting at home for a few days and he didn't do anything much. The shop and the silver tickets were ready. Even the storehouse where the silver tickets will be stored has been prepared, and can be used anytime after the construction is finished.
Seeing that Su Cha had arranged everything early on, Prince Xiao Zian couldn't help but secretly praise Su Cha for being so courageous.
Even before the matter gets clear, all the preparation needed was done. Su Cha made a gamble, but he won.
Su Cha and Lin Chujiu were absolutely "colluding". As soon as Su Cha sent the news to Lin Chujiu, she asked Housekeeper Cao to announce that the schedule of compensation for the price hike has been verified. They should bring the information sheet they answered before and went to collect the money.
As soon as this news came out, the whole capital turned upside down. The people who could get the compensation money were all happy and rejoicing. As for the people of the Imperial Zhang Family, they were all mad, but they also know getting angry was useless. Lin Chujiu let her people shut them up, and just bring them food and drinks every day, but there was no freedom at all.
The people of Futian Bank were also very happy. Lin Chujiu has so many silvers. Those people who will get those silvers will want to save that money, right?
As long as someone deposit money in their bank, they don't need to worry about anything else.
Unfortunately, their rich idea was far from reality… …

On the day the silvers will be issued, people start falling in line early in the morning. Even the people who had no silver to collect join in the excitement. These people thought they would see a mountain of silvers. However, they waited for a long time, but didn't even a silver ingot.
"What's going on?" The people waiting in line and people watching the excitement started discussing. When the time set by Xiao Wangfu arrived, they saw Xiao Wangfu's guardsmen came carrying a basket of copper coins.
"It's all copper coins. What is going on here?"
"Copper coins? How are we going to take it back home?" People who will get compensation was dumbfounded. However, they didn't dare to say bad things about Xiao Wangfu.
The next moment, the housekeeper of Xiao Wangfu stood in front of the crowd, holding an ancient version loudspeaker and said: "To ensure the safety of the people, our Wangfei deposited the money in the bank in advance. People who will get more than 1 silver coin will be given a silver ticket, and people who will get less than 1 silver coin will be given copper coins."
"People who will get more than 1 silver coin will be given a silver ticket?" When Housekeeper Cao's words came out, people started discussing. However, Housekeeper Cao ignored them and just continued: "The silver tickets are issued by Tongyuan Bank, which is a bank jointly opened by Su Family, Cui Family, and Xue Family. Our Wangfei guaranteed that people can get their silvers with these silver tickets."
"People who get silver tickets can go directly to Tongyuan Bank to collect their silver, or you can keep the silver ticket, and then pick up your money later. The silver tickets issued by Tongyuan Bank have dates on them. For those people who will keep their silver tickets for a month, they can get an extra copper coin. And for those who will keep it for 2 months, they can get 2 copper coins."
After hearing Housekeeper Cao's words, everyone was dumbfounded. They didn't understand it all. What is this bank that suddenly appeared?
"What is this Tongyuan Bank? Can you really get money in there? People don't need to pay for storage fees, but rather can get extra money?"
A bunch of questions came out from the mouth of the people who will get compensations. However, people in Xiao Wangfu no longer answered them. They just distribute the silver tickets to the people and told them to directly go to the bank. But where is this Tongyuan Bank?
Where there was Futian Bank, there was Tongyuan Bank. However, they were not on the opposite side, but right next to their door.
Ordinary people were easily convinced when they heard the big families. Although they were confused, when the silver ticket fell in their hands, they no longer said anything. However, people who still can't rest assured, immediately ran to the bank to get their silver. When the first person who went inside the bank came out, he said: "You can really get money with the silver ticket, but I didn't get an extra copper coin. They said you can only get it after a month. And if you have 10 silver tickets at hand, after a month, you can get an extra 10 copper coins."
"Tongyuan Bank is jointly established by the Su Family, Cui Family, and Xue family. They are all big families and big merchants. They have a lot of money, so they are not afraid of being cheated."
"I just asked. The Tongyuan Bank's silver tickets are also recognized by the palace court. So not only they have branches in the capital, but also outside the capital. As long as you deposit your money in them, you can withdraw your money in any of their branches."
Trust was the cornerstone. As long as you gain the people's trust, the next step will be easier.
As expected by Lin Chujiu, the Tongyuan Bank was on fire!
Because of Lin Chujiu's payment of compensation, the bank instantly caught the attention of people.
The people who received the compensation all went to Tongyuan Bank the same day to inquire. In there, they saw some rich men carrying a box of silver and deposited it in Tongyuan Bank. Some people dared to ask the reason and only got one answer: It's more convenient!
Tongyuan Bank's silver tickets were waterproof. Even if it falls into the water, there will be no problem. There were also many denominations to choose from. There were 1 denominations, 2 denominations, 5 denominations, and 10 denominations, which were really convenient to use.
Of course, these were not the most important reasons. The most important reason was that the money stored in Tongyuan Bank, not only doesn't need storage fee, but people can get extra copper coin per silver every month, which was really cost-effective.
One thousand silver coins can give you an extra one thousand copper coins. One thousand copper coins were not too much to rich people, but if you will count the money you lose for paying storage fees, you will realize that you gained a lot more. At least, you saved a lot sum of money.
People like following the trend. When they saw a lot of big merchants saved thousands of silvers in the Tongyuan Bank, the ordinary people also deposited their money.
So what if it's a new bank?
Merchants dare to deposit thousands or ten thousand silvers in Tongyuan Bank. So what should they be afraid of with their small amount of silver?
Besides, keeping one or two silver coins on your body is fine, but what about 10 silvers or more? Can you keep it to your body? It will be very eye-catching.
So… …
The Tongyuan Bank was full of people!
