When Xu Guangqi and others heard this, their eyes lit up, and they gave a thumbs up and exclaimed: "Sir, I am such a genius! In this way, the people will flock to them and they will soon establish their credibility!"

Guo Zhiyuan was secretly funny. These methods of deposit-raising promotion that were ragged in later generations seemed unheard of to people in this era, but they were absolutely useful. You should know that in this era, there is no interest in depositing money in the money house, and a custody fee has to be paid. Moreover, the money houses in this era mainly serve wealthy merchants and the powerful class, but ignore the vast majority of ordinary people, so their liquidity is limited. Guo Zhiyuan's Dongfan Bank also included this large group that was ignored, so that Dongfan's monetary credit system can be established more quickly and comprehensively!

The progress of things went smoother than Guo Zhiyuan expected. Those maritime merchants who did not invest in the East China India Maritime Trade Company, who had not invested in Guo Zhiyuan at the time, were almost regretful. Now that I heard that Guo Zhiyuan wanted to build an East Bank, I would not have to seize the opportunity as soon as I knew the new term bank, but with their cleverness, I could understand that this was definitely a stable profitable transaction and did not lose money. I didn’t want Guo Zhiyuan to incite. I just lined up with silver notes and shouted to buy shares.

Overnight, dozens of large shops with the signs of "Dongfan Bank Branch" popped up like mushrooms after a rain. The opening scene was so sensational. Firecrackers were set off like money. All wealthy businessmen with some reputation in the local area came. For a time, this "Dongfan Bank" also became a hot topic among people from all over the country. They asked what the bank was doing?

At first, the people were just watching the excitement and were a little cautious about new things. However, after a bold person tried it, the reputation gradually spread. It was beneficial to deposit the silver at Dongfan Bank. Ten taels of silver were deposited. After a year, it would be ten taels of silver. If you take it out a year, it would be ten taels of silver. And as long as you open an account, you would give you a bag of rice no matter how much money you deposit. What? What if the bank collapsed and the shopkeeper ran away? Do you know who opened this Dongfan Bank? It was opened by Lord Guo, the Count of Dongfan, personally named by the Emperor of Dongfan! Yes, it was Lord Guo who defeated the Japanese pirates! Do you think he might run away? There is also Mr. Chen from Jintai Business? His family is always rich, and he is also a shareholder of Dongfan Bank! You said that Dongfan Bank can cheat you of those broken silver? Go quickly! After passing this village, there will be no store!

So Dongfan Bank quickly opened up. Less than a month after opening, the bank savings received reached 5 million taels. Of course, nearly half of the funds were brought by those Haishang, who invested in it, and the shareholders were not in vain. Guo Zhiyuan assigned them tasks. At first, the customers they brought were just symbolic deposits to Dongfan Bank, but soon they tasted the sweetness. The bank in the bank can not be withdrawn at any time, but the profits for a long time are also quite considerable. When your capital turnover is not effective, you can also borrow from the bank. The more money you deposited in the bank before, the larger the amount you can borrow. Where can you find such a good thing?

With the reputation of Dongfan Bank as a guarantee, the new Dongfan currency has gradually become circulated on the market. The silver coins and copper coins issued by Dongfan are exquisite in patterns, with high silver and copper content, making it more convenient to find change. The key is that you can exchange silver and copper coins at any time. So what else is there to worry about? Therefore, it has gradually become a "hard currency" on the market. Some merchants even designated to only collect Dongfan silver coins during transactions, and are unwilling to collect silver coins that are difficult to judge.

It is impossible for Dongfan Bank to make such a big noise and it is impossible not to disturb the government. Chen Zizhen was shocked when he heard the news. Guo Zhiyuan was too brave and dared to openly issue privately minted coins?! He was about to order the seal of Dongfan Bank, but Guo Zhiyuan came to the door on his own initiative.

When Chen Zizhen saw Guo Zhiyuan, he pointed at him and said furiously: "You...you are so bold! Are you trying to rebel openly if you mint coins?! If you are so kind today, I will never let you go. Come on! Take Guo Zhiyuan quickly!..."

Guo Zhiyuan had long expected Chen Zizhen to react like this, and smiled calmly and said, "Mr. Chen, do you want to escort the capital to punish the crime?..."

"That's natural. Private minting of coins is a serious crime. The crime should be punished! How can I tolerate it?" Chen Zizhen said angrily.

Guo Zhiyuan pretended to be scared and said: "That would be bad. If the Xiaguan can't stand the heavy punishment and nonsense when he arrives in the capital, he will tell the story of the Xiaguan and the Lord..." When he said this, Guo Zhiyuan paused for a moment, glanced at the yamen runner who rushed in when he heard Chen Zizhen's order.

Chen Zizhen's face suddenly turned red like a rooster stuck in her neck. He has taken a lot of money from Guo Zhiyuan in recent years. If Guo Zhiyuan stumbles around, he will be the last one. He has to wave his hand to signal the yamen runners to go out first, then quickly close the door, turn around and grit his teeth at Guo Zhiyuan, "Guo Zhiyuan, what do you mean? Do you want to kill me? If I fall, what are the benefits for you?..."

Guo Zhiyuan laughed and said, "What are you saying? The senior officials are very happy to cooperate with the senior officials. How could they hope that the senior officials will fall?..." Seeing that Chen Zizhen was so angry that he was about to go wild, he quickly took out a silver coin in Dongfan and explained, "Stop the anger, please listen to the senior officials' explanation. The senior officials are not despising the court. Do you think the words "The Eastern Body Mansion in the 36th year of Wanli of the Ming Dynasty" are printed on the coin? It means that the senior officials are still concerned about the court. The court does not allocate one qi and one grain to the Eastern Bo, so the senior officials cannot find some ways to make money..."

Chen Zizhen was almost dizzy by Guo Zhiyuan's quibbling, and pointed at him with a trembling finger and said angrily: "Are you looking for money? Are you looking for death!"

Guo Zhiyuan waved his hand indifferently and said, "My lord is so rude. Are there few privately minted coins circulating on the market now? Why don't the court ignore it? How could they dare to mint coins? Don't you know? They can mint them, why can't we mint them? Besides, the Emperor Gao of Fujian is far away. As long as you turn a blind eye to the court, even if you want to!..."
