In March, spring is warm and flowers bloom.

The Yulong Bank, located on West Chang'an Street, opened. There was no trouble on the day of opening, and no one paid attention to it.

Not many people even noticed this bank.

"No business, I'm a guest, do you think it's because I named the wrong name?"

Once again, Zhu Yijun stood opposite the "Yulong Bank" - the top loft on the Lingtai beside Taiye Pool. This is the place outside the Emperor's Palace of Attraction. From here you can see the bank. He said with some distress at the deserted bank.

The name of the bank was named him, and "Yulong" was homophonic to "Yulong". As for "bank", he chose "money house", "bank number" and "bank" written by Shi Yiwen. According to his words, "bank is generous."

Now, there is no business in a grand manner.

"No, no, Emperor, did Shi Tongzhi say that the bank is the place where the emperor can give money. It doesn't matter if there is no business."

Standing behind the emperor, the guest smiled.

"Hey, that is, he treated me as a friend and knew that it was inconvenient for me to use money to run this bank."

Looking at which bank, Zhu Yijun once again praised Shi Yiwen.

"You can't let him lose money, it's not easy for him to make money."

Just then, it seemed as if he had seen someone enter the bank, and Zhu Yijun immediately said happily.

"Look, look, customer, you see, business is coming!"

When he saw someone entering the bank, regardless of whether it was business or not, Zhu Yijun was in a good mood and looked at the little eunuch next to him and found a silver note. The silver note was originally specially made by Shi Yiwen, including 100 taels and 50 taels, and the minimum denomination was only one tael, different sizes and different colors, but without exception, the printed ones were extremely exquisite. As long as you use the ticket, you can go to the bank to exchange for cash.

"Come, I'll reward you."

"Thank you for your reward."

When the emperor left the spiritual platform, the eunuch next to him immediately surrounded the little eunuch who was rewarded.

"Zhang De, take a look, what does the emperor reward?"

"I saw it just now, it was just a piece of paper."

"Paper?"

As everyone asked, Zhang De then looked at the paper that the emperor admired. The patterns printed on the snow-white paper were extremely exquisite.

"Get one tael of silver by post, but recognize the post but not the person."

This was... Zhang De was surprised, and the eunuch immediately said next to him.

"What's this? Could it be Baochao?"

"Baochao, Baochao has been abandoned for a long time, and even the Baochao bureau in the palace has been stopped for many years."

"What is this? Let's get one tael of silver? Where can I get it?"

"Look, Yulon Bank...what is this place?"

"Yulong Bank...it seems to be West Chang'an Street, opposite the palace."

"Bank? What kind of shop is a bank?"

"Look back and see, can you really take out a tael of silver with this ticket?"

"The emperor probably won't...what?"

Zhu Yijun himself did not know that the reward he gave would cause so much discussion, and even Shi Yiwen himself did not know that a beautifully printed silver note would cause a series of funerals. At this time, he was lying in the factory with all his heart.

After the spring is in full bloom, the factory is still expanding. The reason why I chose to continue to expand the factory by the Lugou River is because the river here is turbulent, which is undoubtedly an extremely rare and efficient source of power in this era. In fact, as Shi Yiwen's original intention, he would rather build the water truck by the village, but that small river cannot be used as an effective power.

On that day, after working in the factory for a night, Shi Yiwen got up and ran along the Yongding River embankment, traveling back and forth for a few kilometers. After a long-term habit was formed, he would not give up easily.

After running for almost an hour, when he returned to the factory, Shi Yiwen saw a person standing on the river bank in front of the water truck. The person seemed to have been standing there for a while.

"This water truck is so big!"

When he walked to him, Shi Yiwen listened to him.

Could it be not big? There is a river bank blocking it.

"You must be Mr. Shi, right?"

Liu Baitao turned around and explained when he saw Shi Yiwen being a little surprised.

"Don't get me wrong. Liu Baitao, whose courtesy name is Songren, originally belonged to you."

Oh, it turns out it's a landlord.

"Hey, it turns out that it is Mr. Liu. I have misunderstood him. Please forgive me. I have always wanted to visit Mr. Liu, but I never thought that there have been too many mundane things and it has been delayed. Please forgive me."

Shi Yiwen said politely,

"Young Master Shi, you are polite. I didn't know what you bought this land for. I opened my eyes a while ago. A while ago, I went to the young master's field to take a look. I only knew how to use this big water truck. In the past, I only knew how to pound rice with a water pounder, but I never thought that I could make a blacksmith. My master's wonderful thoughts really made me admire him."

After hearing what he said, Shi Yiwen smiled on his face, but he thought to himself that this factory needs to be managed. How can anyone enter the factory with a swagger? This factory management system must be introduced.

"You are kind to you, Mr. Liu, I'm just picking up people's wisdom."

"Young man, you're kind."

Liu Baitao looked back at the factory that was building a large-scale construction and sighed.

"If I remember correctly, the young master bought a total of 2,315 acres of land, 40% of which were from the Liu family, and the remaining land was from the Sun family and Chen family, and they were all along the river. If I was wrong, the young master must have wanted to use the water power here to make ironware. Moreover, the Lugou River is nearly ten feet deep and is convenient for water transportation. It can be transported north and south through the canal, and even enter the sea through the Zhigu (Haihe River). Although there is a flood, the convenience of it is something that I, a local, never thought of."

Even if you think of it, what's the use?

It is definitely not useful without hydraulic equipment. I can only watch the river flow through it in vain. However, his reminder made Shi Yiwen suddenly realize that the Lugou River does have its own convenient place. If a small dock is built here, the ship transporting the cargo can directly enter the Grand Canal through here, sell goods along the canal, and even enter the sea to transport goods to Jiangnan by sea.

"You are kind to Mr. Liu."

Looking at Liu Baitao who was sighing, thinking that he was a local gentry and Shi Yiwen who was interested in establishing good relations with the locals, he asked tentatively.

"I wonder if Mr. Liu's land has started to cultivate now?"

Liu Baitao replied with a smile.

"Young Master, look, the ice in your river is gradually melting. This is a good time for spring plowing. When the snow in the field melts, you will probably start working for two days."

His answer made Shi Yiwen happy and asked with a smile.
