Chapter 498 Propaganda Offensive

"Let Your Highness laugh. As His Highness said, there is no limit to learning."

In the bank, Pang Yukun waved his hands again and again, showing shame.

"Pang Shoufu doesn't have to blame himself. In the end, this is also my king's mistake. I should have told you these things in advance. Well, when my king will go, I will compile the main points of the bank's business into a book." Xiao Ming said.

Not to mention that in the Great Yu country, even in Europe, the banking industry is just starting, but for him, he can catch up soon because he has complete knowledge of the financial industry.

Li Kaiyuan added at this time: "His Royal Highness, in addition to the specific banking business, the government office should also publicize this matter to the common people. After all, most of the common people don't know about it at all. At the same time, in order to compete with the Cao family bank for businessmen, the lower officials thought it was possible to do so. Set the place where businessmen pay taxes at the state banks, so that with the letter issued by the chamber of commerce to the bank to pay the money, the chamber of commerce will pay attention to the state banks.”

This is exactly what Xiao Ming plans to do next. He gave Li Kaiyuan a thumbs up. This guy has a very flexible mind.

He said: "The businessman's business will be handed over to you, and the propaganda will be handed over to this king and Pang Shoufu. Ben Wang is in charge of the newspaper's publicity for Qingzhou Bank. Pang Shoufu has arranged for state officials to go to each state and county to be responsible for promoting the bank. Delay, because this king is also counting on the bank to stimulate the people to set up workshops."

"Yes, Your Highness." Pang Yukun said.

After deciding on this matter, the three of them went back to deal with their own affairs. Xiao Ming went directly to the newspaper office and asked Fan Zeng to be a bank? The role of the bank and how to handle the deposit and withdrawal at the bank were published, and Fan Zeng was asked to let the reporter focus on this matter.

In the newspaper office, he and Fan Zeng decided on the manuscript together. Fan Zeng printed the newspaper that night, and the next day the newspaper began to circulate in the country.

"Bank? Isn't this the Qingzhou Bank in the East City?" One of the three merchants said as they gathered around and read the newspaper.

"No, I remember every state has them," said another businessman.

"Where the bank is is not the point. The key is that the bank can charge interest for depositing silver." The businessman holding the newspaper said, "And you can also borrow money from the bank, which is much more affordable than the Cao Family Bank."

"The benefits are benefits, but what if the government office defaults on its debts? We can't do anything about the government office. If the Cao family owes money, we can at least make trouble."

"This is wrong. This is a manuscript written by His Highness himself. Don't we believe in His Highness, but in the Cao family?"

"Yes, but I'm afraid this Cao family will have a hard time. With this bank, what do they want their bank to do."

"..."

Cao Zhengyang looked very ugly in the Cao family bank. Ever since he lived in Qingzhou, it has become his habit to read the Qingzhou newspaper every day, but the news published in the newspaper today is undoubtedly a blow to him.

Back then, Xiao Ming had talked to him about the Qingzhou Bank. At that time, Xiao Ming had clearly stated that the water from the two wells would not violate the river water. This was also an agreement reached in the exchange of interests at that time.

But despite this, he has always been afraid of the official opening of Qingzhou Bank, because it means that the Caojia Bank in Qingzhou will not be the only place where businessmen can go.

Once this is done, the status of their Cao family in the hearts of businessmen will be reduced, and the status of the Cao family in Qingzhou will also be reduced.

Over the years, the Cao family has been in close contact with the Dutch. He understands that the Dutch banking industry is dominated by big businessmen. Just as he thinks, this businessman's family has a respected status in the Netherlands, because the money of the state and the common people is in the bank.

It is because of this inspiration that the Cao family will build the Cao family bank diligently, and they have indeed benefited a lot from it over the years. Many people think that the Cao family just made a lot of money from the sea, but they also accumulated a lot of money through the bank. wealth.

The logo of the Cao family is exactly the pattern of the Cao family bank on a boat.

"Second Young Master, do you want to pass the news back?" The shopkeeper of the Qianzhuang also read the newspaper and was also worried at this time.

Cao Zhengyang sighed, "Of course it will be passed back, we underestimate King Qi, maritime trade, banks, the two carriages that the Cao family made a fortune are all in his hands, he is different from any powerful person in the Great Yu Kingdom. It seems that We're going to keep a low profile."

"Are we just watching Qingzhou Bank knock down Cao's bank?" The shopkeeper was a little unwilling.

In other parts of the Great Yu Kingdom, any official had to give Cao's Qianzhuang a little face, but here he felt trembling.

"Of course not. Since His Highness said about fair competition, we don't have to worry about it. You send someone to go back immediately to ask for instructions. I think Qingzhou Bank's business is also suitable for our bank, so it is better to implement it in the future."

"Yes, Second Young Master." The shopkeeper nodded and turned to leave.

Watching the shopkeeper leave, Cao Zhengyang's brows furrowed. The title of Second Young Master made him a little irritable, saying that he was still a descendant of the Cao family.

Even if his heart is broken, this Cao family bank will still be his brother's from now on, and it has nothing to do with him.

"I've always been a servant." Cao Zhengyang thought painfully. The last time his brother arrived in Qingzhou, he immediately became a dispensable character, which made him very depressed during that time.

"Why can't I start anew? As long as I join His Highness, I may be able to get the moon first." When he was troubled, a terrible thought sounded in his mind, and he was so frightened that he immediately threw it out of his mind.

It's just that this idea lingers as if it was stuck in his mind.

While Cao Zhengyang was struggling, the newspaper followed the reporter's footsteps to the village outside Qingzhou.

Under the emphasis of the reporter's explanation, the people gradually understood what a bank is.

"Zhu Wuliu, was this the case when you borrowed money from the government last time?"

In Zhujia Village, the people immediately looked at Zhu Wuliu who was eating melon seeds after the reporter explained.

Zhu Wuliu is very arrogant in the village now. The last time he contracted the road in Qingzhou City, his prestige in the village has risen a lot. He spat out the seeds and said, "It's not necessary to ask, when did His Highness deceive us, am I right? If I knew the bank was open, I would have deposited three hundred taels of silver in it."

"Three hundred taels!" The surrounding villagers gasped. They all knew that Zhu Wuliu made a lot of money last time, but they didn't expect so much.

Those young people who went to work in Qingzhou City with Zhu Wuliu said: "Wu Liu, if you want to go, we will go too. Next time there is work, Your Highness can also think about us, right?"

"Hey, you guys have learned to be smart. Tomorrow we'll go and cheer for His Highness." Zhu Sansi laughed loudly.
