Chapter Seventy-Nine: A White Expanse
The next day, the front page of the Matsue Times made a headline.
Of course, the Xu family was burned.
It is impossible for the "Songjiang Fu Times" not to report this big news.
On the second page, Xu Yuncai's letter of apology was published, saying that he was sorry for the Xu family.
This set of rhetoric is naturally understood by anyone with a discerning eye, this is an article posted by Xu Yucai in order to whitewash himself.
Most people don't actually care about Xu Yuncai's romantic history.
What they care about is another thing that Xu Yuncai said.
After the fire of the Xu family, if the people help clean up, all the harvest will go to the people.
This time, it can be described as murderous and heart-wrenching.
Xu Liu's family originally wanted to send someone back to Xu's house today, and in the ruins of Xu's house, find all the gold, silver and jewelry that were not burned, as well as a large number of silver tickets hidden in the dark compartment, to avoid more losses.
However, the plan to recover the gold and silver suddenly gave birth to many changes.
The reason is because of the "Songjiang Fu Times".
On a page today, the people of the newspaper interviewed the people of Xufu who survived the disaster, hoping that these people from Xufu could give the cause of the fire in Xufu.
It's just that the subordinates of the Xu Mansion said a terrible thing.
Xu Liu's clan obviously asked his subordinates to open the gate of Xu's mansion, and twenty or thirty people died for this.
As a result, news came this morning that Xu Liu's family was still alive and living in another courtyard in Xu's mansion.
Why?
Why didn't Xu Liu come out of the gate, but he was still alive.
All of this illustrates a problem.
The Xu family has a special channel to escape from the Xu family, but the Xu Liu family deliberately didn't say it, just to let the Xu family's descendants die.
This layout does not attract many people, but the people who see it are inextricably linked to the Xu family.
For example, the descendants of the Xu family.
The people of Xu Liu's house now saw the news in the newspaper.
Half of this morning resigned, and the other half didn't even say hello and ran away.
Xu Liushi looked at the empty house, and now he didn't know what to say.
It turned out that more than 200 servants in the Xu Mansion are now dead and wounded.
The surviving servants had a deep hatred for Xu Liu's actions, so much so that there were only a dozen loyal old servants left around Xu Liu's side.
The minions are gone, and the gold and silver are scattered.
In this situation, Xu Liu's family can't do anything, and it is impossible to even send someone to Xu Yuan to poison him.
Xu Liu's clan suddenly thought that the person sent by the Xu Liu clan to poison Xu Yuan before, his reward had not yet been received.
It's just that his family came out, and it is estimated that Xu Liu's family will not give this money.
Xu Liushi sighed, although Furui Money Village still has a lot of silver, but if the silver of Furui Money Village is withdrawn again, Furui Money Village will lack cash circulation on the counter.
I'm afraid that in the current situation, it is possible that Furui Qian Zhuang will go bankrupt directly.
For the sake of today's plan, I had to wait for Xu Liu's eldest son Xu Huai to come back.
Carefully calculated, in this fire, Xu Liu's family lost the house, lost the silver, jewelry, antiques and other treasures stored in the mansion.
The second son, Xu Lu, had his leg broken, and he didn't know if he could get better in the future.
The youngest son was directly buried in the fire and was given up by his mother herself.
younger brother Liu Yuan, his lower body was burned full of blisters, and it is estimated that there is also a lot of influence in that regard.
Xu Liu's duel in this wave can be said to be a full loss.
Now, what Xu Liu's can do is nothing more than two paths.
One is to report to the official, see the prefect's yamen, the county yamen, which is willing to help her.
The second is to quickly call the eldest son Xu Huai back, Xu Huai still has some manpower in his hands.
With Xu Huai's presence and integration of the Xu family's strength, there is still the strength of Xu Yi to fight to the death.
Just as Xu Liu's family was about to send someone to report to the official, a steward from Furui Money Village ran over.
"Madam, our Furui Money Village has been 'run' again, and the money in the account is not enough now, and now there is a big gap of forty or fifty thousand taels, tell me what to do now!"
Hearing this, Xu Liushi fainted directly.
..
The run on Furui Money is also a matter of course.
The way money banks are run is similar in some places in ancient and modern times.
In short, a run is when there are only 10,000 taels of silver in the bank, but there are 100,000 taels of silver in the market.
The money bank stipulates that it can be exchanged for one tael of silver tickets for one tael of silver in normal exchange.
And now, 100,000 taels of silver tickets are exchanged, and 10,000 taels of silver are not enough at all.
So, the "run" happened.
Once there is a run on the bank and the bank, then the bankruptcy of the bank and the bank is just around the corner.
The current situation is due to the burning of the Xu family's mansion.
The Xu family's credibility in the hearts of the people has disappeared.
Now everyone doesn't trust Furui Money, so naturally everyone is now "running" the silver of Furui Money, wanting to exchange the silver tickets for cash.
It's just that the Xu family, who has gone through such a catastrophe, are you sure that there is still silver?
..
Xu Yuan.
Xu Yi was in his office, leisurely drinking tea.
He had already expected that the run on Furui Money Bank had officially begun.
The survival of Furui Money Bank, and the last silver in Xu Liu's hand.
Xu Liu's family had to choose one.
Xu Yi calculated this scene for a long time.
The collapse of Furui Money House represents the complete failure of the Xu family's financial plate.
From now on, the three major money houses in Songjiang Mansion will no longer have a place for Furui Money Village.
And when Furui Money Bank went out of business.
The trade route of the Xujia weaving industry, without the financial settlement services provided by Furui Qianzhuang, will also become a pool of rootless water, and will also face bankruptcy.
Of course, most of the people who went to run Furui Money Village today were also arranged by Xu Yi.
Xu Yi prepared a large number of silver tickets, and just wanted to squeeze out the last savings of the Xu Liu clan at this time.
Choose the last savings in your hand, or choose to maintain the plate of Furui Money Bank from going bankrupt.
Xu Yi really wanted to see how Xu Liu's family chose.
In the evening, if Furui Qianzhuang is still alive, it means that Xu Liushi has taken out the last savings to maintain Furui Qianzhuang.
This means that since then, Xu Liu's family has not even had the money to hire murderers and hire murderers to poison, and they have lost everything in the real sense.
In addition to eating, sleeping is no problem, everything else is problematic.
If Xu Liu's family gave up Furui Qianzhuang, he would have left a sum of about forty or fifty thousand taels of silver in his hand.
Then, this money is still enough for Xu Liu's family to live a good life, enough for him and his family to live for several lifetimes.
Now, let's see what Xu Liu's wants to choose.
..
Xu Liushi woke up from a state of fainting.
The shopkeeper of Furui Money Village, and his personal grandmother Rong Po-in-law are still serving by Xu Liu's bedside.
The shopkeeper of Qian Zhuang saw that Xu Liushi was awake, and immediately stepped forward to ask the most critical question.
"Lord, you're awake. The door of our money bank is crowded with people, clamoring to come and exchange money. ”
"Hurry up and get an idea, should we exchange this silver, or not?"
Hearing this, Xu Liushi almost fainted again.
It's just that at this time, she knows that she can't faint, and everything is over after fainting.
Xu Liushi: "Here, in the cellar of this house, there are still forty or fifty thousand taels of silver." ”
"Quick! Save Furui Money, don't let Furui Money Fall. ”
"Send a letter to Xu Huai to come back quickly, keep Furui Qianzhuang, and wait until Xu Huai comes back."
"We still have the strength to fight."
