Following the auction of a new mobile phone, attendees were impressed by the convenience of silver notes over bulky silver. Many decided to visit the Royal Bank to learn more, with some heading directly there to deposit their money. Lin Yi had anticipated this and arranged for an influential figure to be the first to deposit funds, creating a spectacle that drew the attention of the wealthy merchants present. This individual, under everyone's watchful eyes, approached the counter and withdrew ten thousand taels.

When these words were spoken, everyone’s eyes immediately fell on him again, filled with a look of disbelief. What does this mean?

He actually came to withdraw money? Could it be that his silver is already inside? But how is this possible?

Could it be that he’s not afraid that he won’t be able to take out the silver?

Or is he not afraid that the silver will decrease if taken out?

Thinking of this, everyone’s eyes were collectively focused on the bank counter, waiting for the other’s response, and under the gaze of everyone.

The bank counter, upon hearing this, politely smiled at him, then reached out to take a silver note offered by him, looked at it for a moment, and then said:

"This Shopkeeper, you want to exchange ten thousand taels this time, right? This silver note is indeed for ten thousand taels. We will immediately exchange it for you, but this amount of silver is quite large; you probably can’t carry it alone.

Let’s arrange for soldiers to help you deliver it."

As soon as these words were spoken, the eyes of the surrounding people immediately looked towards the person inside the counter, also glancing at the silver note in his hand. The words on it indeed appeared before their eyes, clearly stating ten thousand taels,

and his words further shocked them. What does this mean? Withdrawing ten thousand taels of silver, and soldiers are dispatched to escort it, this is simply too good. This absolutely ensures the safety of the silver. Thinking of this, they couldn’t help but silently calculate in their hearts,

and at this moment, the personnel at the counter, after some operations, waved to the soldiers inside. Suddenly, two soldiers dressed rather oddly came out carrying a large box,

placing it directly in front of the person who came to withdraw money, and then opened the box, revealing silver ingots inside.

Then, under the counting of the bank counter personnel, this box of silver was counted out, totaling ten thousand taels, shiny white silver.

Although many present were worth hundreds of thousands of taels, suddenly seeing ten thousand taels of shiny silver indeed gave them a visual shock. After all, their silver, although also hidden in their secret rooms,

the kind of place that should not see the light of day made the silver appear somewhat dim, but now, it’s different. Now the area in the bank is spacious and magnificent, displaying ten thousand taels of silver openly, the visual impact is definitely sufficient.

Moreover, this silver is entirely different from the silver in their mansions; this silver is shiny official silver.

And the quality of the silver looks particularly tempting, including the cleanliness seems to shock them incredibly. The silver taken out here has no traces of pollution or any black spots, looking so pure.

And upon seeing this, the Shopkeeper who came to withdraw money happily nodded.

And then started putting the silver ingots into the box, and those two soldiers directly lifted the box intending to follow him out.

"Hold on, Shopkeeper Zhao, hold on, Shopkeeper Zhao, what do you mean? Did you store silver before? How do you have a silver note?"

But just a few steps out, this fellow and the two soldiers were surrounded by people. Upon seeing this, the two soldiers immediately unsheathed the swords at their waists with a ’swish’,

while vigilantly watching the surrounding crowd, this action startled the surrounding people, making them subconsciously step back half a step, also repeatedly saying there was no malicious intent, just wanting to catch up and chat.

Upon seeing this, although the two soldiers didn’t say anything, their gaze remained extremely vigilant, as if someone dared to target the silver, they would rush forward at the first opportunity to fight desperately. This action not only didn’t scare the crowd but made their hearts more settled.

Knowing that they were inclined to place their silver inside as well, leaving such soldiers to guard, what more could they worry about?

And the shopkeeper surrounded by people, amidst the many voices asking questions, also nodded with a helpless smile, then spoke to everyone.

"This Royal Bank is not open for the first time today. Earlier, I curiously came here to check it out and found out it is a bank, a place to store silver,

I just put ten thousand taels out of curiosity.

Today is the first time to withdraw money, to my surprise, it’s so convenient. Haha. My previous concerns were unnecessary. This time when I go back, I will definitely put all the silver at home here. This is really convenient."

With these words, the initial doubts in the hearts of the surrounding people were mostly dispelled, and they speculated whether this fellow was telling the truth,

but soon they were sure this fellow wouldn’t deceive them, since this fellow shares mutual interests with them, all merchants,

impossible to collude with officials,

If it really were the case, if something wrong were to happen, he would become a target for everyone, making it impossible for him to stay in the business circle.

Because of this, there’s not an ounce of doubt regarding what he says, and each person thinks exactly as he mentioned,

especially when seeing the ease with which he withdrew money earlier, dispelling any remaining doubts in the hearts of the surrounding people.

Because of this, more than half of the surrounding people have decided to deposit their money here, although some are still holding a wait-and-see attitude.

In this atmosphere, the Shopkeeper spoke again, and his words left the crowd bewildered:

"Also, since I was the first one to deposit, they provided a service to refine all my silver,

Meaning that my previous silver might have only been nine and a half taels for ten, and there was much damage and wear.

But they changed my silver to full tael official silver.

You’ve seen these, the silver is simply too beautiful, truthfully, my previous silver had wear, this ten thousand taels of silver, although not worn significantly, it still had several hundred taels worth of wear,

But after depositing for two days and withdrawing, it was immediately earned several hundred taels. Hahaha. Truly blessed by the Majesty."

These words prompted a collective gasp from the crowd; no one expected such a situation.

Who wouldn’t be curious? Who wouldn’t be surprised?

This is silver, and they have similar concerns about the silver stored in their cellars suffering oxidation,

Annually, the silver lost due to oxidation is not insignificant, tens of thousands of taels, losing ten or so thousand ounces annually, is quite normal.

But depositing it in the bank, there’s no loss, and even if there were any loss, they would compensate. Why wouldn’t they take advantage of this?

This is simply unimaginable; depositing their silver in the bank, not only avoiding losses but even profiting—it means that this ten thousand taels could earn hundreds of taels annually.

Thinking of this, the crowd no longer hesitated, and the quick ones were already running outside.

As to why they ran outside instead of towards the counter, of course there’s a reason—they need to go home and fetch their silver, what will they deposit in the bank without silver?

In short, with those words, they all wavered.
