Hope for luck

Chapter 80
At the gate of the Dantang County Yamen, seeing Wei Yan'an being detained and taken away again, Geng Gengchen and Zhou Zhengxin had completely become indifferent.

And this also let them see Gao Pan's foresight again, is he an eighteen-year-old stunned young man?
After the two looked at each other, they both saw the helplessness and loneliness in each other's eyes.

At this time, Deng Wenshan and Yin Wei'an, who had just entered the county government, were smiling. They were always worried that Gao Pan would be severely punished if he detained Wei Yan'an and others without permission.

But Gao Pan told them, don't worry, there will be results in two days.

And just as Gao Pan said, two days later, the governor of the yamen personally detained Wei Yan'an.

"My lord, the matter of autumn grains has finally been overturned, and our Dantang County can live in peace for a while!"

In Gao Pan's government office, Deng Wenshan said with a smile on his face.

After Gao Pan listened, he waved his hand calmly:

"This was an ordinary thing in the first place, but Wei Yan'an himself wanted to get to this point. By the way, are the yamen and money houses open, and have those wealthy gentry brought the money?"

Hearing Gao Pan talk about the Yamen Bank, Deng Wenshan was even more happy:

"Hahaha, my lord is really a stroke of genius. I have been worrying about where we can get the money from our bank. Unexpectedly, early this morning, there were many masters who brought people to bring boxes of silver. At that time, I was too scared to move, but now the whole small warehouse has been filled with silver."

After Gao Pan listened, he said seriously:

"Be careful of being taken away by others. We will have to rely on these in the future. Since the shareholders have rewarded us, we have to show results. At the very least, we must keep the money well."

As he said that, Gao Pan looked at the many small officials walking around outside the door, paused for a while, and continued:
"In addition, to open a new business, as long as you deposit spare money in our yamen bank, you can not only deposit and withdraw at any time, but also earn interest. We will give depositors an interest of [-]% per annum!"

Hearing Gao Pan's words, Deng Wenshan was taken aback for a while, his thinking couldn't keep up, and he subconsciously asked:

"My lord, if that's the case, let's take care of the money for them and pay back the money?"

Gao Pan knew that he would ask such a question, waved his hand, and said with a smile:

"Aren't you afraid that there will be no money to lend out? When you hear that the Yamen bank deposits money and returns interest, someone will definitely come to deposit it. At that time, your burden will be even heavier. First of all, you must ensure that the money invested by shareholders and the money invested by depositors are consistent. It will be stolen, let's talk about other things!"

It was only then that Deng Wenshan suddenly remembered that Gao Pan uttered two words that he could not understand, one was shareholders and the other was depositors.

However, as the name suggests, after a little understanding, you can know the literal meaning of these two words. Deng Wenshan didn't ask Gao Pan directly, but worried about other things:
"If it is true what your lord said, how should we keep our money?"

"You can find a safe and secret place, or send a special person to protect it [-] hours a day, but it's still early, and the people may not deposit money so easily, and there is still a lot of time to deal with these problems!"

On the other hand, Gao Pan looked like he was holding a pearl of wisdom, and he spoke flatly, as if these were trivial matters.

Gao Pan naturally knew about the bank in his previous life, but what he wanted to do was not to open a bank in this era, because the money in this era is in the hands of the gentry, and it is not easy for the poor to have a stutter. Qian.

Instead, this method is used to attract more wealthy gentry to deposit their money, thus completing this 'Ponzi scheme'.

Gao Pan's deception is not for himself, but to circulate the money in the hands of the rich gentry to help more poor people survive.

This can also slightly delay the process of land annexation and the survival of the lower class people attached to the landlords and gentry.

Gao Pan thought, if he were the emperor, he would definitely try to find ways to redistribute the wealth. Only in this way, the society would become stable and more harmonious.

……

The capital of the Dayu Dynasty was named Tongjing City, a very large and prosperous capital city, with about a million people in the city, it was considered the largest city at this time.

On a street to the east of the inner city, the houses facing the street are all very large and luxurious mansions. This is the inner city of Tongjing City, where dignitaries and dignitaries live.

The Gao family's house is located here, and there is a gilded plaque hanging under the tall lintel, with the vigorous and powerful word "Gaofu" written on it, which makes people daunting.

The central door was closed tightly, and only the corner doors on both sides had people coming in and out. There were 30 to [-] servants standing at the door. It seemed that they were only in charge of guarding the door.

At this time, a group of gatekeepers came to the door carrying a large sedan chair. Seeing this, all the gatekeepers bowed down to greet him.

After the people in the sedan chair came out, everyone shouted "Master".

This person is Gao Qiyuan, the patriarch of the Gao family. He has a fair face and a broad, square face with no trace of wrinkles. He looks very young, but in fact he is 43 years old.

He was wearing a precious satin and brocade robe, not an official uniform, a tall hat on his head, a long beard on his chin, a slender figure, and a peaceful expression on his face.

However, Gao Qiyuan didn't pay any attention to these servants who bowed to say hello, but looked up at his own door plaque.

After sighing lightly, Gao Qiyuan walked in, but he was thinking in his heart that the lintel of his house was not set up right, and he sighed lightly every time he looked at it.

The Gao family is the Duke's mansion, and the plaque hanging on it is just the Gao mansion's plaque. If you don't know, you think it's just an ordinary rich family?
"Master, someone asked me to send a letter, saying that the master must personally open it. The man also said that the master will be very happy after reading it!"

At this moment, a follower dressed as a servant came to Gao Qiyuan with a letter, said with a charming smile, and held the letter high above his head so that Gao Qiyuan could take it.

After hearing this, Gao Qiyuan stroked his long beard and squinted at this man:
"How much money did that person give you? How could you be so unruly? How dare you come up to my lord?"

After hearing this, the man was so frightened that he lost his soul, and dropped the letter in his hand on the ground. He didn't have time to care about the letter, so he knelt down quickly, slapped himself on the face, and cried out:

"Master, the villain deserves to die. If I offend the master, the villain will punish himself. I hope the master will forgive me!"

Gao Qiyuan didn't even look at him, and motioned to the people behind him to pick up the letter, so he could take a good look.

In fact, what this servant said just now aroused his interest, and he was a little curious in his heart, who on earth sent a letter?
What is it again?He even said that he, the master, could be happy?
There was another follower behind him, who quickly picked up the letter, regardless of the villain who was still punishing himself at this moment, respectfully delivered the letter to Gao Qiyuan.
