Initially, the deposit business was handled by the Royal Bank, which later became the banker for issuing banknotes and formulating financial policies... All commercial functions were transferred to the Great Savings Bank.

Murong light dust naturally took people straight to the savings bank.

Far from him, he found that a street was cordoned off, with live ammunition and soldiers everywhere.

When they saw Murong and the others, they immediately met them and stopped them.

“Please take a detour!”

“What way around?”

Murong glanced at his eyes, "Old man is going to the savings bank, you all give me up!"

Several soldiers saw that they had an extraordinary history, were afraid in their hearts, but they could not do their duty, and they would not dare to release water.

"There is trouble in it, we have a life, to maintain order, please..."

“Please be a big guy!”

Behind Murong, there was a grumpy temper who could not help it, waved his hand, and the soldier turned around in the same place, and scolded: "When the old man fought the war, your boy still wears crotch pants!"Dare to stop the old man and die!”

He was so clamoring, the soldiers staggered, and then they were angry, we were ordered to act, why was we beaten?You are all dressed in plainclothes, and you don't know what you are doing, is it true or false?

Oh yeah!

Dozens of soldiers, raising their guns together, and their eyes wide.

“Give it to me, or you’ll kill me!”

The hand-in-hand Wufu was angry, "Murong, you see, these grandchildren are so unruly, dare to take a gun to the old man, the old man does not give them a color, do not know the three eyes of the king!" 」

He had to do it again, and Murong stopped him at once.

“Don’t worry, these are our brothers!”

With that, Murong squeezed out a smile, and he reached out and pulled out a famous post.

"I am the council of the council, I want to go to the savings bank to understand some of the situation, brothers and sisters to do a convenient job."

The beaten soldier suspected the letter, took the name post, and looked at it for half a day, he was not sure whether it was true or false, and was in trouble, and finally a man dressed as an officer came.

He saw Murong from a distance away and ran around.

“It is handsome!”

The excitement, immediately saluted.

Murong paused for a moment, only to recognize, it turned out that this was a small soldier with his expedition to the western region, did not expect a few years of situation, he even mixed into the forbidden army, very capable.

The red-faced, looking very cramped, he whispered: "The boss also wants to go to the savings bank?"

“Well, are you stopping?”

The man immediately shook his head, "Stop who, can't stop the big manager, at the end will say the words are not polite, we are ordered to act, inside are the boss of the robe, they take the reward in exchange for their lives, the court does not send money, how can not say the reason!"Sooner or later, we will retire from the army, and maybe we will have such a day... handsome, you have to fight for us!”

Murong nodded, "Since I am a politician, this is what the job should be, you can rest assured!"

He took a big step and went in, and the soldiers on both sides took the initiative to separate, giving Murong and his brother behind him a way.They went inside and finally reached the door of the savings bank.

In front of the black pressure sitting a large number of people, all from the army veterans, the big guy is a purpose, that is, money!

The interest subsidy given by the household department was cut, watching the bank not pay interest, and the wind said that even the principal would be confiscated to fill the deficit.Everyone has exploded, and no one wants their own blood and sweat money to go to naught.

No, they came to the door in groups.

Do not look at them, although they do not hold weapons, but one by one are good hands, temper, a word of discord, you can kill!

Whoever dares to wait and see, this is not, from Luoyang Province, and the temple front division has brought a lot of heavy and forbidden troops, surrounded by the surrounding regiments.

The two sides were swollen, one asking for money, one not giving, almost to the brink of conflict.

Fortunately, Murong came in time, and most of the veterans knew him, and immediately surging from the ground and shouting loudly.

“The handsome!The handsome!“The Murong!”

The big guy called it different, but they all asked him to come forward and help him deal with it, and Murong took a deep breath, and he waved his hand and motioned everyone to be quiet.

When the crowd calmed down, Murong said quietly: "Brothers, the big guys are soldiers of the big Song, although the salvosa returned to the field, but one day is a soldier, a lifetime is a soldier!"Listen to me, don’t let them mess up!”

He loudly reprimanded a few words, and then turned around, "Please rest assured, I will go to the bank, talk to the people inside, can not talk about the results, you look for me to calculate the account is!" 」

With the status and prestige of Murong, these people are still willing to listen, and everyone nods their heads.

Calm the brothers, Murong took a big step and went to the bank.

At this time, the bank door is closed and the security is strict.

Murong looked at it and said, “Open the door!”

He said it three times, and there was a movement in it, but no one opened the door.

Murong is angry!

"Don't say it's a wooden door, even if it's a three-step wall, it can't stop Lao Tzu!"If you don’t open the door, don’t blame me for not being polite.”

He said this, the people inside finally sweated, quickly opened the door, invited Murong into, and kept bending down.

"Excuse me, we are afraid to rush in, they are too wild..."

Murong glanced at his eyes, and he immediately shut up.

Arriving in the meeting room, the head of the savings bank is waiting here.

This person is 30 years old, very smart and competent, he is called Li B, is the talent recommended by Sima Guang himself, broken reuse, bear the burden of the savings bank.

In the past few years, he has done things cautiously and widely praised, and even if Sima is derogatory, he is still as stable as Tarzan.

"General Murong, it's polite down there."Li Bo was deeply humble and amiable.

Murong nodded slightly, "The purpose of my coming this time must also be clear, the brothers bleed and sweat, in exchange for something, who dare to move a little, that is the death of heaven, I will never promise!" 」

Li Bo smiled bitterly, he first poured a cup of tea for Murong, then stood in front of him, explained: "The general said, in the next clear, who do not know that the soldiers are not easy to be born to die, we really dare not mishandle the soldiers!"

“Nonsense!”

Murong said, “If you don’t misbehave, then why don’t you pay interest?”

"General Murong, you listen to my explanation ... about 10 years ago, the court began to cut interest rates several times, the bank profits less and less, seven years ago, we first appeared deficit, that year in order to pay interest, we lost 500,000, turned the year, the loss to 1.1 million, the third year, actually lost 1.9 million!"

Li Bu and ate bitter melon, "We bear the deficit for three years, it is really unbearable, this is the request for court funds ... in recent years, although the household allocation is a lot, but the bank also suffered losses, every year in more than 1.5 million!"General Murong also knows that this year, we must strictly check corruption, the inventory of bank accounts has long ago begun, these years, tens of millions of deficit, we can not explain!"

"In addition, this year, many soldiers are facing the exploratory return to the field, deposit applicants suddenly tripled, and special funds were allocated to support employment and entrepreneurship... The burden of the bank is too heavy, the court's 7 million allocations can not come, we really have no money!"

Murong listened, his face was getting darker and darker, and he didn’t believe it at all.

"The last name Li, you don't play with me, don't think you talk nonsense, Laozi will believe, I don't believe a word!" 」

Li Bu spread his hands with both hands, "General Murong, you don't believe I can't do it, the accounts are here!"You can ask the Audit Division to inventory, or you can let the parliamentary meeting check, if you can't stand the test, cut off my head."Li Bu smiled desolately, "Speaking from the heart, this unlucky official position, I don't want to do it long ago."Outside, looking at the bank's daily fight, how many families, but every year, all are deficit, all are deficits!"

"The imperial court engaged in infrastructure, want us to pay, war want us to buy bonds, to officials, veterans generals, all want us to be responsible, this does not count, actually repeatedly reduce interest ... General Murong, you say, not to let the horse run, but also do not give the horse to eat grass!"Who can do it?”

His words made Murong speechless.

After all, he is just a good general, and the bank people deal with, the strength is too poor, said not polite, simply defeated!

Murong took a deep breath, grabbed the ledger on the table, and said viciously: "Of course I want to check, you wait, if you find out your mistakes, all beheaded!"

Coming out of the savings bank, Murong's old face was red, which was just too embarrassing.

I went to a trip, the money did not come, only took a bunch of books, how can this be explained to the brothers?

Thinking for a long time, Murong felt that he wanted to find a person to discuss with him, his friends were not many, naturally, he thought of Da Su, coincidentally, Dasu had just turned around back to Beijing, was hired by the Royal College, responsible for opening an agricultural topic, and trained officials and students.

Murong found Da Su and threw the account book at him.

Sue picked it up and quickly put it aside.

Murong glanced at his eyes, “Are you so perfunctory me?”

"I said Murong, you don't trust others, you don't trust my memory, believe it or not, I immediately gave you back, wrong a word, you punished me with a bottle of wine!" 」

“Know your memory, don’t show it to me!”Murong did not feel good: "I am not in the mood to drink now, you will make it clear to me, there is no problem with this account?"

Su Yi shook his head, "There should be no problem, if I expect it to be good, starting this year, the deficit will increase exponentially, to 20 or 30 million a year, or even more, it is not difficult!" 」

“How?”

Murong puzzled, "This is not a war, where do you need so much money?"

Su Yi grunted, “I said Murong, do you know what the average life expectancy of the people of the Great Song Dynasty is?”

“It must be 50 years old!”

“When did that work?”

"It's hard to say, ordinary farmers have been working until they die...Su Zi, what do you mean to me?"

Su Yi laughed, “What?Ordinary soldiers will retire at the age of 30, ordinary officers can only relax to 40 years old, and the court should keep them for ten or twenty years in vain!And with the life extension, the cost is even greater... the raising of soldiers, it is not cheap!"
