Chapter 2020: Civilian Organizations in Prince Ji’s Mansion

Except for the first day when Prince Ji went to war, which was a bit lively, after a few days of discussion, things gradually calmed down.

No one is paying attention to Prince Ji's expedition anymore.

The only thing that happened in Chang'an City was that the Tang Dynasty Money House in Prince Ji's Mansion changed its name.

In the past few days, a notice was posted at the door of the former No. 1 Money House of the Tang Dynasty, saying that it was poorly managed and was acquired by the Central Bank of the Tang Dynasty.

All business operations remain unchanged, only the handling fee for Feiqian has changed.

Many merchants traveling to Qinghai had some opinions about this and went to the bank to inquire. After asking, they were told that the owner had changed and the current owner was the Datang Central Bank.

The rules are also set by the Central Bank, and the handling fees previously set by the First Money House of the Tang Dynasty have been invalidated.

But when asked who the owner of the Tang Central Money House was, all the service staff shook their heads and said they had no information.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that who else could be behind the Central Bank of the Tang Dynasty except Prince Ji?

The only person in the Tang Dynasty who could do such a big business was Prince Ji. Moreover, the word "bank" was so new that it must have come from Prince Ji.

But even if they guessed it, there was nothing they could do. Since the handling fee had been announced, they could only accept their fate. A big store bullies its customers, so who would dare to challenge King Ji?

Fortunately, the new handling fee is half cheaper than the local price, which is a consolation.

The football league of Prince Ji's Mansion was in full swing, and the popularity was getting higher and higher. The people of the whole city were discussing it after dinner. Prince Ji's Mansion even published a separate football newspaper.

Specialized in reporting all events of the competition.

People can be seen everywhere in the streets and alleys, surrounding a person who knows how to read. In teahouses, storytellers tell the contents of the ball newspaper vividly, making people feel like they are there.

Along with the football league, football betting also became popular, but this was only popular among wealthy people such as businessmen and aristocrats.

Even if ordinary people wanted to buy it, they would not be willing to spend the money. After all, it cost at least one hundred coins each time, which was not a small amount of money for them.

It is worth mentioning that in just less than a month, many imitators have appeared.

On the second floor of Boutique Pavilion is Wang Hongfu’s exclusive office area.

At this moment, there were several shopkeepers standing in front of Wang Hongfu.

"Have you investigated everything clearly?" Wang Hongfu drank his tea with an overbearing look.

"Reporting to Shopkeeper Wang, I have roughly checked everything out. Here is the list."

The person who spoke was a middle-aged man. He looked ferocious and didn't look like a good person. There was a scar on his face, which made him look even more hideous.

But at this moment, this man had a flattering look on his face, holding a piece of paper in both hands and presenting it to Wang Hongfu.

Wang Hongfu took it and opened it to read, "Cui family, Wang family, oh, there is also a Duke's Mansion, this is the Yang family... there are quite a few.

Have you investigated everything?"

Wang Hongfu carefully read the list on the paper, then looked up at Scarface.

Scarface immediately replied:

"Manager Wang, we have investigated most of them. Only a few are still under investigation. The main reason is that we have never seen their bosses or managers.

It is hard to tell which faction they belong to.”

"Well, Lao Dao, you did a good job on this matter. Don't worry, you will get some benefits." Wang Hongfu put the paper away and said to Scarface with a smile.

"Oh, Manager Wang, you are too polite. This matter is insignificant. There is no harm in doing so."

Upon hearing about the benefits, Scarface immediately smiled like a chrysanthemum, but he still spoke modestly.

"Okay, this is a reward for your work. Work hard. If you do well, I will recommend you to His Royal Highness Prince Ji in the future. By then, maybe His Royal Highness Prince Ji will be happy and give you a position. Then you will bring honor to our family."

Wang Hongfu said this as he took out ten gold bars from the cabinet and pushed them over.

"Then I would like to thank Manager Wang. If that is the case, I will follow Manager Wang's lead in the future. I hope Manager Wang can say a few good words in front of King Ji."

Scarface was overjoyed when he heard Wang Hongfu's words, and pushed back the ten gold bars. The meaning was self-evident.

Ten gold bars were indeed a huge sum of money for him, but it was nothing compared to holding on to King Ji's power.

Scarface knew that as long as he could get on the good side of Prince Ji, not to mention ten gold bars, even a hundred or a thousand would not be a problem.

To Prince Ji, a fortune of millions is just a drop in the bucket.

Wang Hongfu glanced at the gold bar and thought that this old man was a man of integrity. However, he still showed a disdainful look and snorted:

"Humph, just take it if I tell you to. Put away your little thoughts. If you do a good job, I will naturally say a few good words for you in front of His Royal Highness Prince Ji.

Take these gold bars back, keep one for yourself and distribute the rest to the people below, don't be greedy and keep them all for yourself.

Our prince said that if you want the horse to run, you have to feed it. Otherwise, who will work for you in the future? If you delay His Royal Highness Prince Ji's business,

When the time comes, you'd better choose a Feng Shui treasure land to lie down in."

"Yes, yes, yes. Thank you very much for the reward, Manager Wang. Manager Wang, rest assured that I will never embezzle. I will distribute the money to the people below after I go back, and I will definitely not keep any for myself."

Scarface nodded repeatedly when he heard this and picked up the gold bars on the table. Ten gold bars were worth one hundred strings of cash.

Each of his subordinates could get eighty or ninety strings of cash.

"As for those things that have not been clarified, they must be investigated as soon as possible. I will report them to His Royal Highness Prince Ji at that time." Wang Hongfu reminded again.

"Yes, I will find out as soon as possible.

Manager Wang, now that we have investigated everything, would you like me to take some people to cause them some trouble?"

After receiving the money, Scarface seemed very excited, and then suggested that as for whether the other party was from a noble family or not, he didn't consider that.

They have plenty of ways to cause trouble, after all, they used to be professionals.

Wang Hongfu frowned:

"I only asked you to investigate, not to do anything. Lao Dao, you must remember that we will do whatever His Royal Highness Prince Ji tells us to do.

Just send someone to keep an eye on it, no need to do anything else.

Also, don’t let the people below know that you are working for Prince Ji’s Mansion, understand?”

"This... Shopkeeper Wang, many people below have guessed that we are working for His Royal Highness Prince Ji. After all, we have been spreading news and gathering intelligence for Prince Ji's Mansion over the years.

Just like this time, they checked everything else but didn’t check the Ji Wang Mansion, it’s too obvious.”

Scarface said with some embarrassment. His subordinates were all hooligans and unemployed vagrants he had recruited, but they were not fools.

Having served the Ji Wang Mansion for these years, these people had already guessed it. Some people even asked him about it, but he denied it.

The main reason is that it is too obvious. They are the folk organization of Prince Ji's Mansion.

"They are guessing, and as long as you don't admit it yourself, they will always be guessing.

Mr. Wang reminds you that if anything happens in the future, you will have nothing to do with the Prince Ji’s Mansion.

You did everything yourself, understand?"
