Clementine guessed right, this swarm of wealthy businessmen and nobles were all here to save money!
"Lord Bloom, why do you suddenly think of saving money?"
Clementine couldn't help but ask Marquis Broome.
"Your Highness Princess, you don't know yet? The empire has modified the method of paying tribute and changed it to online payment. Now that the imperial war has just ended, as a subject of the empire, naturally we must fully support the construction of the empire!"
Marquis Broome had a righteous look on his face.
There is one thing he did not say. In addition to changing the method of paying tribute, the empire also encourages paying tribute in advance. Anyone who pays tribute in advance will be reduced by 3% of the tribute fee.
Bloom received the message from the empire. When he saw this exemption clause, he jumped three feet high and came to pay tribute in a hurry.
There is no way to escape the money anyway.
Especially after seeing the force of the empire, I don't dare to escape. I have to pay sooner or later.
In this case, it is better to pay it early, which not only expresses loyalty, but also reduces the donation fee.
Speaking of this, Bloom looked at the businessmen lining up behind him with a proud look on his face.
"Old Tony, you are such an old guy who plucks your hair, why do you suddenly think of saving money?"
Old Tony was the first burly businessman to arrive, but at this time he could only accompany him with a smile on his face.
Hearing this, he nodded and bowed:
"My Lord Marquis, you don't know something. I was planning to go to the mine to purchase ore. I didn't expect a message from there suddenly saying that the settlement must be made on the Internet Bank, so I hurried over."
"The mine? The Venevo mine? That is the private property of Duke Mallory!"
"Yes, so the villain doesn't dare to delay. Why don't you hurry up and get here?"
"Me too! I was planning to purchase a batch of magic protective gear, but Felix Academy of Magic required that settlement must be made through Internet Banking, so I had to come here to deposit money."
A baron next to him tried to join the conversation with a smile on his face.
His joining made everyone startled, and they suddenly looked at Clementine.
That look stunned Clementine!
What do you want me to do
You don’t think it has anything to do with me, do you
My brother is going crazy. Will he help me
Besides, I, the Kver royal family, don’t have that much influence!
'The Empire is...' Marquis Broome had a keen sense of smell and suddenly noticed a certain direction from this series of events.
"But don't say it, I think this is a good thing. In the past, in order to pay for the mine, I had to hire mercenaries to escort the gold coins there, and they were robbed during the process. Now it's fine. It's convenient to deposit it directly into the bank to pay. It’s a lot safer.”
Businessman Tony couldn't help but sigh.
His words attracted the viscount's nod of approval.
To be honest, Tony, as a businessman, noticed the Internet Bank as soon as it came out.
But that's all.
He definitely doesn't know how to save. He thinks he has the ability to protect his money bag.
As for currencyless payment
To be honest, he didn't expect this at all.
A lifetime of cash payment habits will not change overnight.
But the raw material supplier's mandatory requirements forced him to comply.
After copying it, he suddenly realized, hey, this is quite convenient.
While Clementine sent someone to count the currency, she listened to the conversation between several people. In her heart, she was shocked and suddenly realized that this was probably Master Ajeev's effort!
As a follower of the God of the Internet, Lord Ajeev presides over the overall situation of Kville on behalf of the God of the Internet. He certainly cannot sit back and watch the Internet bank be blocked!
Then it is understandable to force the Kver nobles to use Internet banking for settlement.
For a moment, big surprise filled Clementine's heart.
If Ajaf works hard and everyone uses Internet banks for settlement in the future, then the status of Internet banks will inevitably rise infinitely.
As one of the first employees, she has a bright future!
In fact, she got it right again!
Overnight, under the influence of Ajev, the Kvir Empire issued a mandatory decree.
All monetary transactions involving the empire's offerings, taxation, purchases, etc. will be refused cash settlement and will all use the Internet bank's currencyless settlement method.
In addition, through their influence, the three major Dharma gods require all followers to use currencyless settlement through Internet banks for business settlement.
What
Worried about the insecurity of a series of numbers
Then you can just go to a nearby bank branch and pick it up
How many more coins can the Internet God deduct from you
Under the imperial decree, especially under the threat of victory, most nobles could only do it even if they were reluctant.
If you do this, good guys, the convenience of the bank will be immediately apparent.
Especially for big nobles doing business.
Business often involves hundreds of thousands of gold coins. In the past, they were either transported through teleportation arrays or escorted by mercenaries.
It can be said that before the business is done, a lot of hidden expenses will be spent on payment.
Well, now, the currency transportation is completely handled by banks, so why not
Especially after everyone discovered that payments could be made over there and cash could be withdrawn immediately here, everyone's distrust and resistance to new things gradually dissipated a lot.
Just think that Internet Banking is a free shipping center.
Because of this, a trace of doubt also grew in Clementine's heart.
—Can Internet banks really absorb savings by relying solely on the payment and settlement of nobles
…
The next day, early in the morning, Internet banking branches just opened.
An old farmer, who was covered in patches and had a timid face, came over. Looking at his dewy look, he seemed to have traveled a lot.
When he saw Clementine's beautiful face behind the glass curtain wall, he became more and more embarrassed and did not even dare to get close.
"Hello, Internet Bank is happy to serve you. Do you want to handle savings business?"
Clementine, who had not even given an honorific title to Marquis Broome yesterday, asked with a smile on her face today.
Mr. Ajeev said that the biggest customers of the savings business are actually farmers. They may not have much money personally, but they have many people.
Therefore, you must give the best attitude to the farmers and show the temperament of a Willis noble!
Probably due to Clementine's attitude, the farmer finally plucked up the courage and said, "I heard that you can keep your money here without charging protection money?"
"Yes! Not only will we not collect protection deposits, but we will also pay you a certain amount of interest. The bank's annualized rate of return is 1%. In other words, if you deposit 100 Kvir copper coins, you will be able to take away 101 after one year A Kver copper coin."
"This is real?"
"certainly!"
"Why? Why do you help us save the copper and still give us the copper?" The farmer looked confused.
Clementine thought for a while and gave up on the complex economic principles taught by Ajeev.
"This is the kindness of the God of the Internet!" She laughed: "Just like the magical knowledge he publishes online, the God of the Internet is benevolent, philanthropic, and does not ask for anything in return."
The farmer was stunned.
He was still full of doubts, but suddenly he gritted his teeth and took out a cloth bag from his arms and handed it over.
"I want to save this money."
"Okay, please open the Internet. I need to verify your soul number."
Clementine took the money bag with some disgust in her heart. It was really dirty.
However, she still suppressed the nausea in her heart and poured out the coins.
But when Yin Cancan and a few gold coins rolled out, Clementine was stunned.
Is this property that the farmer can use
This was simply beyond her imagination!
"This is my eldest son's pension. I read on the Internet that many people's money has been stolen. My son is still young. Everyone in the village knows that my family has received a large pension. I was very scared, so I came to save it. ”
The old farmer looked sad, and his language logic was even more confusing.
Clementine was stunned.
She didn't say anything, but she kept her spirits up, counted the coins, and after confirming them twice with the old farmer, she deposited them into the old farmer's account.
Just when she was about to teach the old farmer how to check Internet banking.
Unexpectedly, the sound of fierce horse hooves suddenly came from the long street.
When she looked up in astonishment, she saw businessman Old Tony galloping towards her.
Before the horse came to a complete stop, he overturned and rushed in quickly, shouting with a shocked look on his face:
"Your Highness, why did the money in my bank account change? I, I, I didn't touch it?"
When the voice fell, the old farmer looked stunned, and his eyes suddenly looked at the coins that had been collected behind the counter.
The old cheeks trembled, and his voice was full of fear: "I...I don't save it anymore. Can I stop saving it? Can you give me the money back?"
