"Sell Newspaper~Sell Newspaper~"

"Jinshang Bank collapsed, unable to pay depositors' deposits, and the owner donated money and ran away~"

"The five Jin merchants are unrighteous for business, do all the bad things, and reap the consequences~"

With the arrival of a new day, the newsboys in the streets and alleys of the Beijing-Tianjin area began to shout again, and the content shouted also attracted everyone's attention at once.

All of a sudden, a large number of people gathered around every newsboy, and they all couldn't wait to see the content of today's Ming Morning Post.

Jinshang Bank actually collapsed, and there was no more money.

It's incredible, it's like a bombshell exploding.

In this era, the Jin merchants are enough to be compared with the Hui merchants.

Which of the major Jin merchants in Shanxi is not a rich country?

Relying on the smuggling of grassland people, these Jin merchants are all very rich.

Their industries spread from all walks of life, from textile mills and cement factories to ocean-going trading houses, from the fur business on the grasslands to the grain trading in Kannai.

In everyone's previous concepts, these Jin merchants are all synonymous with the gold owner.

Now that the newspapers have said that the commercial banks have collapsed and there is no money to pay the depositors, you can imagine how shocking the news is.

Many people who had deposited silver in Jinshang Bank, after learning the news, hurried to the place where Jinshang Bank was located, but it was already crowded with people who came to withdraw the bank.

Looking at the Jinshang Bank with the door closed, countless angry people began to smash the Jinshang Bank, wanting to open the door of the Jinshang Bank to see if they could rush in and grab some silver and come back.

Then the inside of the Jinshang Bank was already empty, and after these Jinshang merchants went to visit Liu Jin yesterday, they knew that this time it was estimated that they were in a catastrophe.

Last night, he began to roll up and leave overnight, and fled to his hometown in Shanxi with the silver, wanting to escape back to Shanxi and continue to live his free life.

Where would you be stupid to really stay here, waiting for someone else to tear yourself apart.

The depositors who did not open the door, could not see anyone, and could not get the silver began to frantically smash the Jinshang Bank, and the originally magnificent Jinshang Bank was soon smashed beyond recognition.

At the same time, powerful people began to complain to the government, asking the government to arrest these black-hearted Jin businessmen and give everyone justice.

"These hateful Jin merchants~"

"It turned out that Shuxiang Yayuan was made by them, and as soon as the house was sold, it immediately rolled up and left, leaving countless people with no place to cry."

"They simply eat people and don't spit out bones~"

"In this factory under the command of Jin Shang, there are 2 hours a day, and they actually ask people to work for eight hours, except for eating and sleeping, all the other time is working for him."

"Even so, they often find excuses to deliberately deduct workers' wages, wantonly beat workers, and even let people go without even paying their wages on time."

"What's even more odious is that on the Nanyang side, they even deceived their own Shanxi people, deliberately deceived people to Nanyang, and then used them as slaves to exploit them, and dared to escape and beat them to death."

"These Jin merchants must be severely punished~"

"Yes, it must be severely punished, and when you encounter these Jin merchants in the future, don't do any business with them."

The entire Beijing-Tianjin area began to be indignant, and everyone looked at the newspaper in disbelief, looking at the bad things that these Jin merchants had done.

Not only the Jinshang Bank, but also the cement factories, textile factories, commercial houses, etc. under the command of the Jin merchants, along with the publication of the newspapers, the workers who had been oppressed by the Jin merchants began to rebel.

The workers arrested the foremen, stewards, etc., who had been oppressed on their heads, and smashed everything that could be removed from the factory, and all that could not be moved, in order to vent their anger in their hearts.

The news soon spread to the court.

Emperor Hongzhi, who had just come down from the early dynasty and summoned many important ministers to his study for a small meeting, also received the news.

"Let's take a look, let's see~"

Emperor Hongzhi took the latest Ming Morning Post and said to Liu Jian, Li Dongyang, Xie Qian, Zhang Mao, Liu Jin and others.

Everyone took the newspaper one after another, read it carefully, and soon, they couldn't help but change color slightly.

The Ming Morning Post reported in great detail everything about the Jin merchants, and reported on the numerous crimes committed by the Jin merchants, many of which were heinous, especially the real estate and the plantations in Nanyang, which were too much.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the Jin Shang must be severely punished, otherwise it will not be enough to be angry!"

Liu Jian was the first to stand up and speak.

"The minister also thought that the Jin merchants must be severely punished to set an example~"

Li Dongyang and others also expressed their stance one after another, there is nothing to discuss in this matter, and these Jin businessmen must be severely punished.

"Severe punishment must be severely punished, and it is not a pity for these Jin merchants to die."

"However, since ancient times, there have been no businessmen and no traitors, businessmen have pursued profits, these Jin merchants are definitely not the first, and they will not be the last, the key is how to prevent it from happening, and you can't make up for it every time such a thing happens."

Emperor Hongzhi stood up, kept walking back and forth, and said after thinking about it.

The matter of the Jin merchants, Liu Jin naturally had already reported to him, these Jin merchants did not say anything else, just wanted to issue silver bills and rob the first bank of the Ming Dynasty, which doomed them to death.

Jinshang Bank was the biggest money bag in the hands of Emperor Hongzhi, and he would not allow anyone to touch his cheese.

Therefore, Jin Shang must be severely punished.

But now that capitalism is budding, the development of industry and commerce is extremely rapid, and the ocean-going trade industry is also developing rapidly, but there is no relevant law and regulation to regulate the code of conduct of businessmen on the side of the Ming Dynasty.

In the long run, this will definitely not work.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the imperial court should introduce a relevant commercial law to regulate the commercial behavior of my Ming Dynasty, there is a law to follow, and those who violate the law must be prosecuted, so that it is a long-term peace and stability plan."

At this time, Liu Jin stood up and admonished Emperor Hongzhi.

In fact, this matter has been discussed with Emperor Hongzhi in advance, the capitalist development of the Ming Dynasty is extremely rapid, and the Ming court naturally wants to control it, and cannot allow capital to develop arbitrarily.

For businessmen and capitalists, they can really do anything without the constraints of the law.

Eating people without spitting out bones is talking about capitalists.

"Your Majesty, the minister also thinks that the imperial court should issue a relevant law and regulation to regulate the behavior of merchants."

"As the saying goes, there are no rules, there is no circle, and the original content of the imperial court's "Da Ming Law" is too general and vague, which is easy for people to take advantage of loopholes, and it is necessary to introduce special commercial laws to regulate the code of conduct of businessmen in detail."

Liu Jian, the first assistant of the cabinet, stood up and made a statement.

Merchants not only have to pay taxes, but also have to abide by laws and regulations, and they must use laws and regulations to trap the wild horse of capitalism, which is about to gallop, so that it is always in the hands of the imperial court.

"Your Majesty, the minister also thinks that there should be a detailed relevant law ....."

Other ministers also came forward to express their opinions, and as the helmsman of this vast empire, everyone realized that a new era had arrived.

This is an era that has never appeared before, full of vigor and vigor, and there is a kind of lightning rolling in, so that these important ministers of the country are a little unable to adapt to the arrival of the new era.

Just like now, when I go to Tianjin every once in a while, I always feel as if I am old all of a sudden, and there is a feeling of a thousand years, and the times are changing too fast.

This is a good thing, but it is also something that makes people anxious.

The matter of Jin Shang is actually not worth their troublesome thinking, what they really need to think about is how to continue to control the big ship of Daming.

……

On the cement road from Beijing to Shanxi, four-wheeled carriages are advancing rapidly on the cement road of Xinxiu, and these four-wheeled carriages are filled with large boxes and covered with cloth, for fear of being known.

In one of the luxurious four-wheeled carriages, Fan Hanshi closed his eyes, and the whole person was extremely unwilling.

The hard work of his family for several generations has watched it go down the drain like this, he hates it~

is full of hatred for Liu Jin.

I never offended this Liu Jin, but I was blocked by this Liu Jin.

The things he did were just things that businessmen would do, and there was nothing wrong with him, he was already low, let him raise his noble hand and let him go.

But this Liu Jin refused to let go, and he was willing to give up only if he put himself to death.

"Liu Jin!"

"I'll see how long you can be arrogant!"

Fan Hanshi clenched his fists tightly.

There is no way, you can only withdraw to Shanxi first, find a place to hide first, and wait for the limelight to pass, and then come out with a different identity.

However, at this moment, the convoy that had been moving forward suddenly stopped.

"What's going on?"

Fan Hanshi's whole body fell forward, and he suddenly hit the frame of the carriage, and he immediately asked angrily.

"Master, we can't leave, it's the people of Jinyi who stopped us."

His servant walked over tremblingly and said.

"What?"

"The people of the Jinyi Guard?"

When Fan Hanshi heard this, his legs trembled with fright.

"It's over, it's really over~"

His eyes went dark, and the whole person lay down at once.

"Grab them all, seize everything~"

"I still want to go, dreaming!"

Before he could recover from his recovery, with an order, many brocade guards rushed into the convoy like wolves and tigers, arresting all of them.

Kill the chicken to show the monkey, punish a hundred examples, then naturally will not let go of these Jin merchants, Emperor Hongzhi has already used the power of Jinyi Wei to investigate these Jin merchants clearly, want to go, no way.
