Chapter 10 10. Chain Banks
  Shi Tianyu said sympathetically: "Little sister, please eat slowly."

He wiped her tears.

The little girl was moved and asked: "Thank you, brother, what is your name?"

She bowed to Shi Tianyu.

"Cao Jingzhou."

At this time, Shi Tianyu had already discovered the wanted order on the street.

There is a portrait on the wanted poster, but it shows Shi Tianyu wearing fresh clothes and an angry horse.

~~
  The current Shi Tianyu is wearing shabby clothes, disheveled hair, strong body, and not so easy to recognize.

But he didn't dare to give his real name, so he turned around, picked up the bag of delicious food, and left.

Wang Jing stared at Shi Tianyu blankly, feeling that he had changed a lot and was telling lies.

How could any god reward him with money?
  Why use a fake name to deceive a little girl?

~~
  The little girl chased him, saying as she ran: "Good brother, wait for me!"

She felt a long-lost warmth from him and wanted to follow him.

~~
  Wang Jing asked Shi Tianyu anxiously: "Sir, would you like to take your little sister with you? She is so pitiful!"

Shi Tianyu said: "Take her with you! Let's buy a mule cart first, and then buy a carriage when we get to Kaifeng. From now on, you and your little sister can take the mule cart or carriage."

Wang Jing nodded and said, "Okay! Can I disguise myself as a man? It will be safer on the road."

She turned sideways and took the little girl's hand.

The three of them go shopping together or rent a mule cart.

Unexpectedly, there happened to be a carriage being sold.

After all, this is the main road from Luoyang to Kaifeng.

Shi Tianyu piled all the money on his back into the carriage.

Wang Jing and the little girl sat in. It was very crowded.

However, Wang Jing and the little girl were very curious and couldn't help opening the big bags to take a look.

Wow! Their eyes instantly widened, their mouths opened wide, and they screamed in surprise.

It was as if the air was stagnant.

So much money?

God!

So dazzling!
  The two of them were stunned for a while, and then quickly wrapped the big bag.

At dusk, Shi Tianyu drove a carriage into the city, looking for chain banks.

Finally, he found a chain bank in the center of the city.

~~
  Chain banks began in the Song Dynasty.

After the Yuan Dynasty, most of them were run by Shanxi merchants.

After the Yuan Dynasty drove the Song Dynasty to the south, they built a capital in the north.

Shanxi merchants also followed.

At that time, there were many barriers or language barriers between the Han people and the Yuan people. Not only could they not get along, but it was also difficult for them to conduct business. Shanxi merchants had long had close contacts with the Yuan people.

Regardless of business or private business, Yuan people always contacted Shanxi merchants first.

As a result, Shanxi merchants monopolized ticket shops in various provinces, and even in Kyoto's various businesses, Shanxi merchants took the lead.

Shanxi merchants founded many businesses, such as banks, silk and satin shops, grain stores, etc., as well as old rice mills, water carriers, etc.

Kaifeng was the imperial capital before, with many dignitaries, rich families, and prosperous shops. It was a very attractive market for Shanxi merchants who were good at doing business. They started by investing in gold shops, and most of their contacts were dignitaries and powerful people.

Later, due to the emergence of money gangs to ensure the safety of gold shops, some gold shops began to lend money, and gradually transformed from gold shops into bank accounts, and finally developed into joint bank banks in major cities across the country.

Among them, Heheng's exchange notes, one hundred gold on a piece of paper, and ten thousand gold in a bunch, are stacked upright and have bright red seals.

It relies on money to help, has thick capital and strong reputation, and earns very little interest on deposits.

But people in the world often don't stop because of their solidity and reliability.

There are also people who have deposited their money for many years and then withdraw it but the silver remains intact.

It is convenient for merchants and officials to make deposits and withdrawals with money orders.

~~
  Shi Tianyu found the Heheng Silver Number and stored several large bags of gold bricks, gold ingots, and silver ingots in the Silver Number. The shopkeeper and the waiter couldn't help but become suspicious when they saw Shi Tianyu, who was wearing coarse clothes and tattered clothes, also coming to deposit so much money.

But their doubtful eyes were seen by Shi Tianyu.

Shi Tianyu sneered and said, "Shopkeeper, don't look down on others."

After he finished speaking, he grabbed a gold brick, squeezed it lightly, and it broke into pieces at the corner.

However, Shi Tianyu was also frugal and put a handful of broken gold into Wang Jing's hand.

This frightened the shopkeeper and the waiter, who all trembled and hurriedly completed the procedures for Shi Tianyu.

~~
  Yuanbao originated in the Tang Dynasty.

In the Tang Dynasty, there were already silver "cakes" and "collars", that is, the boat-shaped "silver collar" looks like a boat when it is lying on its back and looks like a table when lying down.

Calling "silver collar" "yuanbao" began in the Yuan Dynasty.

Any weight up to fifty liang is called "Yuanbao".

Yuanbao is made of precious gold or silver, with silver being the most common and gold being rare.

Those made of gold are called "gold ingots", and those made of silver ingots are called "silver ingots".

~~
  Shi Tianyu kept some money with him, took the exchange bill, and led Wang Jing and the little girl to make new clothes. Then he led them to the Fuwei Escort Agency, paid an ingot of gold ingot, and invited the Fuwei Escort Agency. Escort Wang Jing and the little girl to Kyoto.

Neither Wang Jing nor the little girl refused.

However, Shi Tianyu took the two of them away and whispered: "I will inevitably have to fight with people in the world along the way. It is safer to be escorted by the escort. Anyway, we will meet in Kyoto and have a contact point, so we will only be separated for a few days. Still. Safety first, listen to my advice.”

Wang Jing had no choice but to persuade the little girl.

In this way, the little girl agreed to follow Wang Jing in the escort car to Kyoto.

Wang Jing and the little girl stayed at Fuwei Escort Agency that night.

Shi Tianyu immediately disassembled the carriage, rode out of the city, and rushed to Kyoto overnight.

It's important to rescue your parents.

That night, he stayed in the mountains and forests.

~~
  Early the next morning, the warm sunshine shone on me.

Shi Tianyu stretched and stood up.

Not far away, more than a dozen people were greeted on the roadside in the jungle.

Among them, four bearers carried a sedan chair.

There were also some men with swords on their waists and two maids.

They were all dressed in gorgeous clothes and followed the sedan on both sides, heading north.

They looked careless, as if they were not aware of the chaos of the world.

Suddenly, the sound of horse hooves was heard, and a group of people and horses came shouting.

The leader, about forty years old, ran to the front of the sedan and reined up his horse and stopped, followed by more than thirty riders behind him.

The dozen or so people guarding the sedan were not afraid.

A short man at the head of the sedan guard shouted: "Hey! The Flying Eagle Gang is here. Gang Leader You, Deputy Gang Leader Guo, and incense masters, we don't have any money. What do you want?"

~~
  The Flying Eagle Gang is a fierce gang in the Central Plains. They are fast and ruthless, and specialize in robbing the horses, money and food of high-ranking officials in the past.

The leader of the gang is You Bing, the deputy gang leader Guo Lin and the eight major incense masters under his command. They are all excellent in martial arts and have dominated the Central Plains for twenty years.

You Bing pointed his whip and said: "I opened this road and planted this tree. If you want to pass by this way, leave money to buy the road. Leave the women, horses and silver, and Rao Er will not die."

The short man is called "Spirit Snake Sword" Chen Hai.

He sneered and said: "You Bing, if you look at me as a dog, let's see who will be spared and who will not die?" After that, he suddenly drew his sword and waved his hand, "Up!"

More than a dozen of his men, each armed with weapons, attacked the Flying Eagle Gang together.

The two maids next to the sedan seemed very scared.

They both shivered and squatted beside the sedan chair.

The four bearers ran away quickly, but they didn't get far. They all lay down in the woods and quietly took out the swords hidden in the grass.
