Chapter 53 Building a Bank
Lu Bu smiled slightly: "How many tribe members do you have in your Zhen family now?"
"There are more than a hundred tribes and thousands of slaves." Zhen Yao replied immediately.
Lu Bu nodded: "Move all the tribe members to Xuzhou and follow me from now on."
"This!" Zhen Yao didn't expect that Lu Bu would say this. He couldn't help but wonder: "But my Zhen family still has many industries in Hebei. If the Yuan family knows about it, I'm afraid..."
"Hahahaha!" Lu Bu smiled, "Although your Zhen family is rich enough to rival a country, how much is left after supporting Yuan Shao? Don't worry, as long as your Zhen family follows me, I guarantee that the wealth that your Zhen family can have will be a hundred times or a thousand times that before!"
What!
As soon as this sentence came out, Zhen Yao was shocked instantly.
However, he did not completely doubt Lu Bu's words.
If you want to say which of the richest monarchs today is Lu Bu. Moreover, as Xuzhou continues to develop, Lu Bu will only become stronger and stronger.
It was precisely because of this that the Zhen family was willing to come to Xuzhou to Tantan.
Zhen Yao did not expect that Lu Bu would ignore all the previous property of his Zhen family.
In other words, the resources of various vassals to raise troops were provided by various families. Only Lu Bu's property was created by himself.
Of course, although the tomb of the king was dug in the early stage, it was also Lu Bu's own ability.
It is precisely because of this that Lu Bu was not tied up by various families and was able to make drastic reforms and construction.
Because he did not gain benefits from the various families, but instead gave benefits.
After being excited, Zhen Yao couldn't help but ask: "Dare you ask Wen Hou, what do you want my Zhen family to do?"
Lu Bu patted Zhen Yao and pulled him down.
In name, Lu Bu must be called Zhen Yao's brother-in-law. But Lu Bu is older than Zhen Yao, so he can't shout it out.
Lu Bu smiled and explained: "I want to establish a bank and gather the money in the world for my own use..."
Yes, the real money shop appeared only in the Ming Dynasty.
No one knows the importance of banks better than Lu Bu, and it will definitely gather all the money in the world for state-owned use.
Now, the conditions are gradually ripe.
With the great development of industry and commerce in Xuzhou, many merchants are coming to Xuzhou to trade and purchase goods.
But the currencies of this era are copper coins and gold and silver.
In this way, currency transportation not only increases transportation costs, but also is extremely unsafe.
If the bank is established, it will greatly reduce the cost of currency transactions.
Lu Bu’s goal is far more than that. He wants to slowly circulate paper money and then replace copper coins and silver.
At the same time, after paper money became the universal currency in the world, the whole world was allowed to use it.
There is not enough money, right? Printing money is just a simple thing. Anyway, prices will rise, and they will spread to the people of the world.
In this way, I am afraid that I will not have money to use. I will develop as much as I want.
When Lu Bu explained the bank's functions to Zhen Yao, Zhen Yao became more and more excited as he listened, and the more he listened, the more excited he became.
As a business family, Zhen Yao couldn't understand the circles here.
Lu Bu is a talented person, this is simply a peerless talent.
Soon, Zhen Yao patted his chest and promised: "Don't worry, I will summon my tribe members to Xuzhou. As for the family business in Hebei, I will lose it!"
Zhen Yao believed that the Yuan family would at most confiscate the Zhen family's property and would definitely not kill anyone.
Otherwise, how can Yuan gain a foothold?
Now that I have been leaning on the big tree of Lu Bu, the Yuan family is no longer able to rely on.
After the matter was decided, Lu Bu gave Zhen Yao a specific task.
The first is naturally to build a bank.
Cement has been produced now, and such important buildings must be built with cement.
The second is to recruit people, and within this period of time, learn various bank business and accounting knowledge.
This knowledge is of course taught by Lu Bu, either in writing, or personally.
And Lu Bu also needs to do other preparations.
First, you need to print money.
Because Lu Bu’s goal is to replace copper coins with banknotes, he will not use silver coins.
Lu Bu has customized various ticket amounts.
One qian, ten qian, hundreds qian, thousands qian, and the maximum amount of 100,000 qian.
In the early stage, of course, there are three quotas of large amounts of money, which is a thousand coins, ten thousand coins and hundreds of thousands coins.
At the beginning, people definitely dare not easily compare money to gold and silver.
But as long as Lu Bu is guaranteed to be honest and has a habit of using it, he will definitely use paper money directly.
In this way, the copper coins will slowly withdraw from the stage of history.
As long as Lu Bu pushes the banknotes to the whole world, the money of the whole world is in his hands.
Just thinking about this, Lu Bu was extremely excited.
Lu Bu soon found two micro-carving masters and naturally wanted to carve the printed board.
The banknotes are double-sided, of course, two people are required to come.
In this way, it is possible to avoid leakage of money printing technology as much as possible.
Similarly, Lu Bu also learned the style of banknotes in later generations.
On the front is his big portrait. On the back is Lu Bu's majestic figure wearing armor, red rabbits, and holding a square sky painting halberd.
In half a year, Lu Bu set a deadline for the time limit of half a year. Within half a year, he must open his bank in Xuzhou.
Even, he could send envoys to talk to various princes and then expand the bank to the whole country.
Of course, Xuzhou must be ranked first.
As long as there is Xuzhou Bank, even if there is no bank under the rule of other princes, a number of merchants can also use paper money to trade directly.
And this is exactly Lu Bu's purpose. When everyone uses the currency he made, then the whole world is his.
If other monarchs want to imitate, they almost did not exist in the early stage.
If you can become a banknote by printing a few words casually, then Lu Bu can easily copy it and make a fake one.
Moreover, the people are not stupid and will definitely not accept shoddy paper money.
Well, it’s not enough to just use black ink to print, so you have to print in color.
In order to print money, Lu Bu had to participate in it himself.
There has not been global warming in this era, and there are few things to keep warm, so winter is very cold.
Therefore, wars are basically after the beginning of spring. In winter, they will naturally stop.
Lu Bu also had a rare good life.
I write books every day, make inventions, and then play with my wife and children, and live a happy life.
In many cases, Lu Bu even stopped fighting and just kept his own state and lived.
But this idea is unrealistic after all. The world is like a big vortex today. You can't just stay out of it if you want to stay out of it.
For example, if you, an ordinary farmer, want to live a pastoral life, when war comes, you will know how miserable it is.
Huatuo came back, but Sun Ce failed to escape his fate and died.
Just like history, Sun Quan succeeded to the throne. Fortunately, Sun Quan did not change his original cooperation with the Eastern Wu. However, the plan to send troops would be delayed.
This is also a blessing for Lu Bu.
Two months later, Da Qiao was about to give birth.
On this day, the sky was filled with rays of light, and Lu Bu finally had his first son.
With the birth of Lu Bu's son, the whole world came to congratulate him.
Lu Bu named him Lu Tianlong.
