Great Tang Idyll - Chapter 772

[Chapter 397]

Chapter 397 After a battle

, Wu Feng, who only spoke with Suzhou Fuzhong, rode a fast horse and rushed over at a speed of nearly 800 miles, and was not in the mood to go to the Taihu Lake next to him, and didn’t have time to taste the shrimp rakes.

With a lot of vouchers on his body, he couldn’t wait to find the Datang Bank in Suzhou Mansion. He took out the 1.5 million vouchers and let the people in the bank verify them. After waiting for three days to pay, he found an inn not far from the bank to stay.

The shopkeeper of this inn was found in the room, and without speaking, a pattern of the Big Dipper was placed on the table with copper coins. After the shopkeeper poured half a bowl of tea in person, he asked, “Can there be autumn crabs to eat?

” It’s time for the guest officer to come, in these spring ploughing days, the autumn crab fat, not only the guest officer wants to eat a few?” The shopkeeper replied.

“Have a taste first.” Wu Feng followed.

“Guest officer, wait a moment, I’ll come here.” The shopkeeper said, refilling the tea, and bowed to leave. After a short time, the door opened, and a middle-aged man wearing a scarf came in from the outside. Take a look, close the door carefully, and get in front of Wu Feng, “Three stewards, you are here, are there any instructions?”

“Well, it’s time to start, how much money do you have saved here?” Wu Feng didn’t want to use this The power of the side, but after he showed the certificate and was verified by the people of Datang Bank, there was no embarrassment on the other party’s face, so he had to prepare another hand.

As for the title of the three stewards, he just got it last year, mainly because he contacted the businessmen of Jiangnan East Road to open Bihai Yinsha.

The middle-aged man poured himself a bowl of tea, picked it up and replied, “Three stewards, only 400,000 yuan is brought here, and he has promised a lot of benefits to others. How much money is available in the capital?”

“400,000 qian? Well, it’s almost the same. After three days, a small amount will be taken out. The capital has borrowed 1.5 million qian this time. The storage fee used is paid by the Wu family. Bian sent people to publicize, saying that Datang

Qianzhuang

is out of money, and if you don’t withdraw the money you have deposited, you won’t be able to get it back. After this is done, you can go back to the capital this year.”

Qianzhuang still has the ability to pay 1.9 million yuan at one time, and said such a method.

“Don’t worry about the three stewards, the little one will definitely mix up the water.” The middle-aged man seemed very excited when he heard that he might return to the capital.

The next day, Suzhou, which was originally peaceful, became unstable for a while. The people in the spring ploughing did not consider the news circulating in the city.

They did not have so much money to deposit in the bank and let people charge the storage fee.

This is not the case for people who have business at home. They are always afraid of losing their money when they put their money at home. After the emergence of Datang Qianzhuang, I found that the annual storage fee is not much, and it is basically the same as when I keep silk at home. the same loss.

In this way, such people put their money in the Datang Bank without worrying about being stolen.

Now when I hear someone say that Datang Qianzhuang has no money, first I don’t believe it, and then I report that I would rather believe it or not, and I plan to take out the money first. Not too late.

The person in charge of the Datang Qianzhuang in Suzhou Prefecture immediately became anxious when they saw the people who were queuing up to come and withdraw money.

“How can this be good? If I knew this earlier, I would not have rushed to participate in any training, nor would I have taken great pains to go to the local place to be a steward.” The

steward understands that this is what the master mentioned during the training process. After the run, the fear after taking the deposit loan is that the depositor will come to queue up to withdraw the money because of distrust.

One of his deputy was also anxious and came up with an idea: “Manager Li, why don’t you tell the person who withdraws the money that you can’t withdraw it this month, let them wait for a month, and then the money transferred from other places will be able to come.”

Manager Li glared at his deputy, “Then other places will get the news right away. There are so many people going to withdraw money, what to do with Datang Qianzhuang? Isn’t the news already sent to the chief steward? The chief steward will have a solution. , if someone withdraws the money, give it, send someone to bring the money over, let them see if there is still money in the Datang Qianzhuang.” The

deputy nodded helplessly, ran to arrange for someone to withdraw the money from the warehouse, and then watched the person who took the money. How much is enough, and enough to be divided into silk and copper coins according to 46%.

He knew that the chief steward was the young master of the Zhang family, and hoped that this time the young master of the Zhang family would be as miraculous as before and get things done.

Because there are silk and copper coins, it is troublesome to withdraw money. Whether it is a small deposit or a lump sum withdrawal, whether it is a little by little or a direct withdrawal, basically the bank will not pay, and some people do make a lump sum withdrawal. .

One hundred and fifty coins are deposited, and when you withdraw one hundred and fifty cents, one hundred and fifty cents are withdrawn like this. One piece of silk is converted into two hundred cents of money. The silk cannot be broken open, but the payment can only be made in copper coins. In this way, The silk is kept in the bank. The preservation of silk is not easy. As long as it is in hand, it will depreciate.

It is good that the copper coins themselves are not worth the value of the currency they represent, so there are people who mint coins in private.

Soon, truckloads of copper coins were pushed into the store in front. Shopkeeper Li wanted to say something to the people who were queuing to withdraw money. You don’t have to worry about Datang Qianzhuang not being able to take out the money, but he was worried that some people would use such words to say that the Qianzhuang would be tough. Support, you can only give a hint with actual actions.

Qiangguan money was taken away from people, and a carload of money was pulled in. No matter how anxious Mr. Li was, he didn’t show it. He always sent away one after another with a smile on his face. .

From morning to noon, the people in the bank gave money very swiftly, without any intention of delaying the time, so that the people who were still queuing to withdraw the money changed their minds unknowingly.

At this time, the people arranged by shopkeeper Li spread the word among the crowd.

“I still don’t take it. There must be a rumor that Datang Qianzhuang has no money. Look, how can you keep pulling out without money? How can you not be in a hurry if you don’t have money? It’s noon, it’s time to go back for dinner.

” Look, if I open the money again, I won’t take it anymore. It’s all my fault for letting me come here. I don’t even think about it. Who opened the Datang Qianzhuang? Hey~! It’s delayed me a lot.”

“That is, even if you can’t get it now, it’s not that the Datang Qianzhuang has no money, it’s just that they took the money out and lent it to others for a lot of interest, and couldn’t move it for a while. There is only a Datang Bank in Suzhou, so it should be taken, but how much money does Datang have now? I won’t take it anymore.”

Various such voices rang out from the crowd, making the hearts of those who were still waiting to withdraw the money. I was hesitant to know if I should continue to withdraw the money.

After noon, the number of people withdrawing money suddenly decreased a lot.

When it was almost evening, the original regular deposit had basically been restored. Storekeeper Li and the people from the bank were relieved, but Wu Feng was worried again.

The plan was about to succeed, but as soon as the person arranged by the other bank said that the run on the money was gone, how could this happen?

That night, he brought the middle-aged man again, and the two of them discussed while eating.

“Three stewards, as you think, can the Datang Qianzhuang in Suzhou still pay 1.9 million kuai? It’s not a small amount. If it’s about the same, then wait, so as not to be found out.” The middle-

aged man said a little .

I’m worried, if you continue to send people to publicize the matter against Datang Qianzhuang, once someone catches the handle, it’s not that there is trouble on your side. If the emperor knows that Concubine Wu Hui’s hand, no matter how he favors him, he will be outraged. body.

Why doesn’t Wu Feng understand this? It doesn’t matter if there is another person who supports the bank behind him. There are few places where one can take out 1,900,000 coins at one time, especially Suzhou, where people borrow a lot, and the bank There shouldn’t be much left.

But now the opponent is Zhang Xiaobao, who dares to underestimate him?

Those who underestimate him will not end well. Even if they do not underestimate him, no one who opposes him has ever had a good end. If he hadn’t been able to come over, he would not have chosen Suzhou. dare not come here.

Some people are legendary.

Thinking like this, Wu Feng said to the middle-aged man: “The next time, find a safe person to do it, don’t show any clues, if we really find you, we will take good care of your family.” The

middle-aged man’s face changed .

After a change, he nodded and said, “Understood, everything will be broken when I get here. I will go back and make arrangements immediately.”

The next day, there were waves in Suzhou, which was supposed to restore calm. It was rumored that the emperor wanted to use troops against Tubo and Turks at the same time. After all the money in the treasury was taken out, it was not enough. It was forcibly drawn from the banks all over the country. The banks were already empty.

One person says this, others don’t care, more and more people say it, and people who don’t believe it can’t help but wonder if this is the case.

At this time, the Suzhou government began to send yamen to arrest people. It’s amazing that people can spread rumors at will. It’s not just that the emperor is angry.

As soon as they were caught, things got messed up. Some people began to suspect that they wanted to keep their mouth shut, and they felt more and more that the emperor wanted to send troops, and that there was no money in the treasury, so he transferred money from the bank.

A line appeared in front of the bank, waiting for the money to be withdrawn.

Just when Shopkeeper Li was in a hurry, Zhang Xiaobao sent an expedited letter of 800 miles to finally deliver. Looking at the contents of the letter, Shopkeeper Li’s heart fell into his stomach.

Immediately let someone follow what was written in the letter and put up a notice outside.

“Are you running out of money?” The people who didn’t know how to read saw the paper posted and asked anxiously around.

The literate people leaned over to take a look, and said to the people around them: “It’s a good thing, a great thing, the emperor said that now the treasury is full and the world is level, so Datang Qianzhuang cancels the procedures for those who saved money in the past one month later. The number of people who save money is only half of the original amount. When the summer comes, Datang Bank will all waive the handling fee.

Also, the interest for borrowing will also decrease from today, and the loan conditions will be relaxed a little, and there will be more people in the future. Being able to borrow money is a good thing, a big good thing.”

Hearing what the literate person said, the person who wanted to withdraw the money was confused again, which one is right?

If it is said that the bank deliberately wants to deceive people, the bank has no money, then there should be no such thing as relaxing the loan conditions and reducing the profit. Is there really no shortage of money?

Someone in the crowd started talking.

“I don’t want to take it. If I take it out and deposit it again, even if it is half of the previous handling fee, it is not as good as not charging the handling fee at the beginning. If I don’t withdraw it, the emperor will never lie to us.”

“I won’t take it anymore. Maybe there is something good waiting for you, the rumor mill must have known in advance that the emperor was going to do this, so he came here to take advantage.”

“That is, the rumor mill should be caught and beheaded, it’s too embarrassing, I Yesterday, I already took 30 pieces, and I lost a lot of money.” The

crowd dispersed again, and this time no one continued to spread rumors. Many people who spread rumors before were arrested, and they all said that the inns and restaurants listened to others. As I said, at the moment I really can’t find which one said it first, it can only be closed for a few days, and then it will be released.

“Three stewards, can there be such news from the capital? Does the emperor really say that?” The middle-aged man found Wu Feng in fear.

“What does it have to do with the emperor? The real person in charge of Datang Qianzhuang is Zhang Xiaobao. What he says is what he says. It’s very fast. I just started it here, and he knows it there. I don’t know the next 1.9 million. Can he take it out?”

Wu Fengxian didn’t know anything about it, didn’t Zhang Xiaobao go to Huayuan County to pick up the child?

How can we manage to go to Suzhou?

When the third day came, the middle-aged man first took out the 400,000 kuai he had saved, promising to give others a lot of benefits. People pay more and they don’t do it.

Then Wu Feng also found the Datang Qianzhuang and wanted to take away his 1.5 million guan.

Seeing the shopkeeper Li, the other party scared Wu Feng into a daze.

“Three in charge, the money you want has been prepared, so let me get it.” Shopkeeper Li said kindly.

Just this sentence, let Wu Feng cool from head to toe.

He knows, he really knows, it’s not the fake name I came to report, and I didn’t say my real name, but my identity as a martial artist in the capital, what should I do?

This is how to do?

Will the Empress be overtaken by the emperor…

Wu Feng’s eyes are darkened, his ears are buzzing, and even when shopkeeper Li touches him, he doesn’t even feel it, he just feels numb all over, without a trace of strength, and his stomach is numb. I felt like I drank a lot of alcohol and I felt like vomiting but couldn’t vomit.

With a puff, a sip of spirits was sprayed on Wu Feng’s face by shopkeeper Li, and Wu Feng was sobered up.

“Three stewards, please come with me. The bank has no more than one and a half million dollars in money, and I need to get it elsewhere.” Shopkeeper Li said again.

Wu Feng’s frightened soul was almost gone. When he heard that the Qianzhuang could not take out so much money, he didn’t feel the slightest joy. He thought about it and said, “If you don’t have those, you don’t have to take it.”

“Then how? You can’t receive the management fee for withdrawing from the bank, not to mention that the three stewards have made an appointment in advance. Please, the young master of the Zhang family has been busy with this matter, and has transferred the money from Shuiyunjian and Haiyunjian here. We also shipped hundreds of thousands from nearby, and after negotiating with the local people who participated in the shareholding, we collected 1.5 million for the third steward, oh, 1.9 million.”

Shopkeeper Li stretched out his hand .

Come to help Wu Feng, and Wu Feng was sent to Shuiyunjian by shopkeeper Li.

Looking at the mountain of money, Wu Feng knew that he could not transport it away. The transportation fee was dozens of times more than the storage fee, so he had to deposit it in the bank again. The main thing is that he was exposed. I wonder what happened in the Empress’ Palace?

Li Longji in the capital already knew it at this time. In his anger, he didn’t see Concubine Wu Hui for three days, and of course he didn’t clean up Concubine Wu Hui. Today, he went to Queen Wang’s side to drink stuffy wine.

Queen Wang makes clothes for her son and daughter. Although Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan have no shortage of clothes, for mothers, what others do is not as good as what they do themselves.

Seeing the emperor coming, while arranging people to prepare food and drinks, he came to serve the marquis. Seeing that the emperor’s face was a little bad, he asked with concern: “Your Majesty, but there is something embarrassing in the

court?” “What can I do in the court? Now that the treasury is full, something happened to the bank.” Li Longji had only seen his son and daughter at birth, when he came to Queen Wang’s side, thinking of how a couple of little guys saw him laughing when they first met, he was in a good mood. Much better.

“Your Majesty, could it be that Xiaobao is in trouble?” Queen Wang actually knew what was going on for a long time, and she said it directly in the past. Now she has learned to be smart.

Li Longji waved his hand, “What kind of trouble can Xiaobao get into? With him, the bank is worry-free, but it’s not Concubine Hui, she actually made a move behind her back, letting people save a lot of money in the capital, and then went to Suzhou, a rich bank, to get it. , this is called a run.”

“Your Majesty, perhaps sister Hui Fei has the use of scriptures, but it may not be like that. If you really want to go to a far place, wouldn’t it be better for Jiannan Road?”

Queen Wang explained.

“Humph~! What use does she have? The reason why she doesn’t go to Jiannan Road is because of the prestige that Xiaobao and Jujuan have gained, as well as a lot of business from Zhang Wang’s family, and the road is difficult, otherwise she can really go to Jiannan. South Road.”

Li Longji was like a mirror in his heart, but he didn’t know the reason why Concubine Wu Hui attacked Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan.

At this time, the palace maid had already put the wine and dishes on the table, and Queen Wang poured wine for the emperor and said, “Don’t worry, Your Majesty, there is little treasure, and if you want to come to the Qianzhuang, nothing will happen.”

“Naturally, Xiaobao wrote a letter to Lux a few days ago, saying that the capital’s savings did not grow very often, so he made arrangements early. What if it was a different person? What should I do? Does anyone have the ability of Xiaobao?”

Li Longji one Thinking of the letter that Gao Lishi received at the beginning, he had to admire the masters of the Zhang family. Little Treasure, who was taught by him, could see signs of the increase in deposits in the capital, which was unusual.

Queen Wang gave the emperor a piece of cucumber to press the wine, and drank a small cup with him, and continued to persuade: “Your Majesty, it’s fine for Sister Hui to do this.”

“What’s better?” Li Long basically thought that Queen Wang could Adding fuel and jealousy, I didn’t expect to help Concubine Wu Hui to say good things, and asked in doubt.

“Your Majesty should think like this, this time it’s Concubine Hui’s sister testing Datang Qianzhuang, Xiaobao handles it properly, even if she really can’t control it at that time, Concubine Hui will put the money back into the bank for use. This concubine can guarantee that it will not ruin your Majesty’s affairs.

This time, His Majesty’s heart will be at ease. Xiaobao has done a good job in dealing with malicious access in different places, better than others or those who have bad intentions. The country is strong, and it makes the participants in the training have an intuitive impression.

According to the words of the concubine, Concubine Hui’s approach is like an adult deliberately embarrassing the child in order to cultivate the child. And cuckoo, the two children said that when they wanted to go to Jilizhou, they had to go round and round. If it wasn’t for Pan’er and the others to follow Xiaobao and cuckoo, the concubine would also want to make it difficult for them. What.”

Queen Wang tried her best to excuse Concubine Wu Hui, not because she didn’t want to beat Concubine Wu Hui to death at once, but she couldn’t be beaten to death with such a thing. the magnificence.

In fact, Li Longji just wanted to find a step for himself. Hearing Queen Wang’s words, he felt happy and turned his face on purpose.

“Xiaobao and Juanjuan lied to me time and time again. Those officials who didn’t know the reason thought that I couldn’t compare to two children. Now I know, two children are not ordinary at all. A big one, and you can learn a lot.”

“Your Majesty, the concubine has something to say. Although the concubine Hui has tested Xiaobao once, but in the harem, it cannot go unpunished. The concubine decided to punish the concubine Hui for half a year. What does your majesty think?”

Queen Wang said again.

“Punish, be punished, UU reading www.sonicmtl.com come, drink with me, and sleep here tonight.” Li Longji happily agreed when he heard that he was only fined for half a year.

On the fleet down the Yellow River, Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan hugged a child alone, coaxing to sleep, humming a song, and rocking back and forth. The two children who had been fed by a nurse soon fell into a deep sleep. , put it on the couch, and sway with the swing of the boat, saving the cradle.

“Cuanjuan, do you think Concubine Wu Hui will be cleaned up this time? For example, she will be put into a cold palace or something.” Zhang Xiaobao asked Wangjuan while pinching the sore arm that he had maintained when he held the child just now.

Wang Juan shook his head and said, “Nothing at all, you don’t know how much Li Longji spoiled her. According to historical records, she killed Li Longji’s three sons, and Li Longji did nothing to her. What happened this time is just to make you a little more troublesome, how could Li Longji put her into the cold palace?”

“This is the hero’s sadness for the beauty pass.” Zhang Xiaobao sighed helplessly, he knew that he could not be forced to be like others. Killing Concubine Yang Gui and forcing Concubine Wu Hui to death can only acquiesce to this fact.

Wang Juan, on the other hand, said, “It’s all the same. Where did I make a mistake, what can you do?”
