"My uncle is right, this silver belongs to our Liu family's very life and death, we absolutely can't make a mistake."

This command, no one objects to.

More than seven million taels of silver, this is a huge fortune that anyone who sees it will be envious of. Therefore, someone must guard it at all times.

If something goes wrong, the Liu family will be finished.

Liu Sichun turned to look at his elders, led by his third uncle. Although he felt a bit impatient, they were all elders after all, and they were all thinking of the family's well-being. Therefore, Liu Sichun felt that it was necessary to give them some good news to reassure them.

"A few days ago, the imperial court officially passed a decree spearheaded by the Ministry of Revenue, in collaboration with my Liu family to establish a money-lending establishment."

"By then, every province in the country will have at least one bank, and gradually expand to counties, prefectures, and states. With the backing of the imperial court, who would worry that these banks wouldn't be profitable"

As for the matter of profit, you don't have to worry about it. His Royal Highness is even more anxious than we are. Once this bank opens, he wants to see profits immediately. Therefore, the design of all business and plans has already begun within the Ministry of Revenue.

Earlier today, I was summoned to the Ministry of Finance. The main purpose was to present to the Ministry a general overview of the operations and profit models of private money-lending establishments among the common people.

"I can feel that, under the leadership of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the officials of the Ministry of Household are truly talented and eager to make a name for themselves. Therefore, all esteemed elders, please rest assured."

This money-lending establishment, the court's century-old foundation, and for the Liu family to have such an opportunity to invest in it guarantees the continuation of their lineage.

Liu Sichun's words lifted the spirits of the Liu family.

To say nothing else, from the moment this matter was put on the agenda to its passage through the imperial court, the Ministry of Revenue had already begun drafting the work. It hadn't even been a few days since then, and Liu's family had just managed to raise the money, but the preparations on the imperial side were already complete.

No matter what happens afterwards, at least this incredible efficiency shows that the Eastern Palace is deeply invested in this matter.

No matter what it was, if His Royal Highness treated it as a big deal, then it certainly became a big deal.

Now, the Liu family is not concerned with what others think. Everyone has already boarded this ship, so there's no other option but to work together and strive to steer this large vessel to its destination.

As soon as Liu Sicun finished speaking, there was a commotion at the door.

By the sound alone, one could tell there were many people and horses present, their voices mixed with shouts of war.

Liu Sichun and Liu Sidar exchanged a glance, both of them frowning.

At this critical juncture, someone coming from the government is definitely not good news.

"I'm going to take a look." Liu Sidar said.

Nodding, Liu Sichun instructed: "See who it is, don't act rashly. If they're troublesome, come call me immediately."

Liu Sidar responded with a sound and immediately walked towards the front courtyard.

After a while, the commotion didn't die down as Liu Sida passed by; instead, it grew louder.

The next house steward ran up, flustered and said to Liu Sichun, "Master, you'd better go and have a look. The Second Master was beaten by someone!"

Liu Sichun was startled when she heard this, but her face remained completely expressionless.

She handed the ledger to her elders and said, "Uncle Three, you take a look at this first. No matter what happens, none of you are allowed to leave the warehouse even half a step."

Uncle San nodded and hummed in response, seeing Liu Sichun off.i Chen took the teacup Wan Jiaojiao handed him, but the more he thought about it, the angrier he became. He raised his hand and smashed the teacup on the ground.With a sharp crack, the tea spilled, sp...
