"But who does he think he is?" Liu Yangwu said disapprovingly: "Back then, Zhang Juzheng was carrying out reforms, and with the power of the first assistant, he didn't come like this all at once, what is he Wei Bao?" The imperial court did not issue a decree, so why should he Wei Bao change as he wants? I can see now that Wei Bao is going to use his Haiphong money bank to get silver, and then squeeze everyone out! ”

"Yes, Wei Bao really wants to do that! I originally got a large amount of silver from selling officials, and I also searched the homes of many people who committed taboos in the text inventory, some of them were silver, and I should have paid my own money to stabilize the people below, but now it seems that it is not, Wei Bao is going to change the Yamen officials in Hejian Mansion, Cangzhou Mansion, Shandong and Denglai! Li Jingbai analyzed: "If he does this, either he is the king of Shandong and controls the situation for a short time, or he will be squeezed away by all the gentry and all the officials!" ”

"Dad, what should we do now?" Li Linsun asked.

"What can I do? him! Liu Yang was furious and said: "Let's contact everyone who can be contacted now, if he spoils other people's financial routes, that is, if he cuts off everyone's livelihood, he will definitely do it with him." ”

"Don't be busy, we don't need to jump up and down on this matter." Li Jingbai said thoughtfully: "As long as we let out the rumors and say that we are coming to Tianjin to visit relatives, everyone knows that we are coming, and they will come to us, and we will do it behind their backs, and we don't have to come out in person." ”

"It's still Daddy's way to be the safest." Li Linsun was convinced.

Li Jingbai's other son, Li Hesun, and daughter Li Jing also nodded yes.

"This matter is Wei Bao's challenge to all the Daming money banks and big households around the country, I have sent people to contact the managers of several big money houses in the Jin merchants, they will definitely go to Tianjin Wei within two days, rest assured, there are Jin merchants to support the table, he Wei Bao is useless if he has silver, his little silver, and the Jin merchants can not be compared. Also, the Jin merchants have a wide range of contacts, from the nine-thousand-year-old Wei Gonggong to the Donglin Party and the Wei family, they all have contacts, and in terms of human face, he Wei Bao is not a person. This time, it can only be said that Wei Bao is too big, thinking that he can do whatever he wants with His Majesty's favor! Can he alone be able to defeat the Jin merchants and millions of Beizhili and Shandong people? Liu Yangwu said.

"There is a reason for raising bad words." When Li Jingbai heard this, he was in a relaxed mood, "Knock down Wei Bao, the world of Shandong is still our world." ”

A group of people laughed together, and Li Jing, Liu Yang's daughter-in-law who had never passed the door, blinked her eyes, and became more and more interested in Wei Bao, not knowing how a fifteen-year-old person could have such a great ability and need to use so many people to fight with him.

Both sides are in full swing to prepare, Wei Bao will appease the original Tianjin Governor Yamen within two days, those who are willing to donate officials will stay, and those who are unwilling to donate officials will leave.

Wei Bao will not send money.

And speak, if you want to take revenge, you will kill yourself!

It's so domineering.

Song Yingxing and several managers in charge of banking business of the Tiandi Association also rushed to Tianjin Wei and went to the Tianjin Governor's Yamen to meet President Wei.

Wei Bao was very happy, and asked people to arrange a banquet and pick up the wind for a few people.

"During this time, we have to fight, not a war with knives and guns, but it is more dangerous than knives and guns! Therefore, I will not drink this wine for now, and wait until our Haiphong Governor Yamen and Haiphong Qianzhuang have gained a firm foothold, and then drink the celebration wine! "Wei Bao is humane to a few.

Song Yingxing nodded with a smile: "What the president said is true." Now that I have become the president's secretary, I will be asked to take care of the industry for a while, and I will be brought back to manage the money bank for a while. ”

"This time, you really have to be wronged, and I am the secretary for the time being." Wei Bao laughed.

"Don't be aggrieved, if you can be a secretary for the president, heaven and earth will be dreamed of by millions of people!" Song Yingxing said with a smile: "Then Li Jingbai and Liu Yangao contacted all the big households in Beizhili and Shandong, and there were also Jin merchants and presidents competing with each other, but they didn't know that our Tiandihui Bank now has the ability to raise the accounts of more than five million people!" Let's fight them to the end. President, when will the large amount of gold and silver from the central bank of Weijiazhuang Tiandi be transferred to Tianjin Wei? ”

"Mr. Song, you're wrong, this time, I don't plan to use the gold and silver of the Central Bank of the Heaven and Earth Society at all! I didn't even plan to use the money of the Jingshi Tiandihui Qianzhuang, and it was all up to the Tiandihui Qianzhuang of Tianjin Wei to deal with it! Remember, this time we are going to make silver, not to throw silver into it, in Weijiazhuang and other areas outside of southern Liaoning, we are all ideas, we are all making silver, not smashing silver, understand? Wei Bao said.

Song Yingxing was dumbfounded when he heard this, his eyes widened, "President, this time we want to build a new city in Tianjin, build the largest yamen, build a harbor wharf, repair a shipyard, and build a big ship, how much silver does this cost?" The most important thing is that I just heard the president say that just to dismiss the 50,000 army and appease the situation in Beizhili and Shandong, it will take at least tens of millions of taels of silver, and Tianjin Wei's Tiandihui Qian Zhuang is no more than one million taels of silver at most, how can it be enough? Counting here, you need at least 20 million taels of silver. ”

"If it's not enough, let's find a way, let's just make up the holes, if every time you encounter difficulties, the first thing you think about is to take the silver out of your pocket to fill it, then what else do I do as the official of this Ming Dynasty? It's better to go back to Weijiazhuang and get some sleep. Wei Bao said disapprerovingly.

At this time, Song Yingxing and several managers of the Central Bank of Tiandihui, who were temporarily transferred to Tianjin Wei, understood President Wei's true intentions.

Originally, everyone thought that with the current financial resources of the Heaven and Earth Society, not to mention the comprehensive overwhelm of the Jin Merchants, it was impossible for the Jin Merchants to move the money of the Heaven and Earth Society, so it was difficult to say now.

Thinking of this, everyone's expressions immediately became serious.

Wei Bao smiled slightly: "Eat and eat, eat and drink, are we still afraid of such a thing?" We are powerful in fighting wars, and we are even more powerful in economic warfare! And, for me and a few of you, our main responsibility is to fight the economic war! ”

Hearing this, everyone nodded, and under the greeting of President Wei, they ate with their hearts.

Wei Bao said to Song Yingxing: "Mr. Song, you are not only very familiar with various technologies, compiled into a book, it can be said that you are knowledgeable, I can't imagine that you are so familiar with the economy, I heard that you have a lot of good ideas for the central bank of Weijiazhuang's Tiandihui, so I remembered to transfer you." ”

"President, if you want to say that I didn't pass the exam, maybe I really became the shopkeeper of the money bank in my hometown in Jiangxi. Our family has a little financial resources, and we also have a small bank, but we have been asked outsiders to take care of it, and I have been watching it for a while and have an understanding of the business of the bank. Song Yingxing said with a smile: "The president is now Tanhualang, which is much higher than my fame, and I have made up my mind to follow the president in this life, and I will no longer think about the fame of Lao Shizi, so the president will still call us by name in the future, right?" I don't have much to teach the president. ”

"Hey, you can't say that, Mr. Song taught me a lot of knowledge in poetry and articles, and gave me a lot of inspiration for various techniques, how can you say that he didn't teach me? One day as a teacher and a lifetime as a father, this title cannot be changed. Wei Bao smiled and said, "I will replace the wine with tea and toast Mr. with a glass." ”

When Song Yingxing heard this, he was in a very comfortable mood, "I really don't say anything to be so valued by the president, I'm only in my early thirties, even if I have the opportunity to become an official, don't say that I didn't get the Jinshi fame, even if I win the Jinshi?" At most, it's a county order, but the use I have in Weijiazhuang now is equivalent to a political envoy! The population under the jurisdiction of our Heaven and Earth Society is equal to the population of two or three major provinces in the Ming Dynasty. ”

Wei Bao smiled and nodded, "It's good that Mr. is happy, I'm still worried that Mr. will regret not being able to go to the scientific examination again, if Mr. wants to go to the scientific examination, I have no opinion, and I can also help Mr. properly clear the way." ”

"Thank you President for your kindness, Song really doesn't have such thoughts now, it will be my creation in heaven and earth, and I have already taken my wife and children next. This time I brought my two sons with me. Song Yingxing said to Wei Bao.

Wei Bao frowned, and said unhappily: "Mr. Song, this is yours, isn't it, Ling Lang is here, why don't you come to see me?" ”

Song Yingxing smiled: "I don't care about it, besides, they don't understand anything, and they can't even pass the exam. ”

"How old are you?" Wei Bao asked.

"The eldest is twenty, and the second is one year older than the president." Song Yingxing replied.

Wei Bao laughed: "Okay, our world will need more and more talents, they are not too young, and then from the head of our new school, from primary school, to junior high school, and then to high school, I am afraid that they are older, let them study night school while doing things." Mr. Song, find them to have dinner with them now. ”

Not only Weijiazhuang and southern Liaoning have fully implemented new education, but in the important towns of Guannai, Tiandihui has also secretly engaged in new education, but most of them are in the nature of literacy classes, up to primary school.

If you want to get a higher degree in the new school system of the Tiandihui, you still have to go to school in Weijiazhuang or Liaonan.

Song Yingxing nodded and agreed, and asked one of his clerks to find his two sons.

Song Yingxing's two sons, like Song Yingxing, are not tall and thin, and they are both more introverted, more brain-friendly, and not good at physical activities.

Wei Bao still likes this very much, the literati in Wei Bao's mind should be like this, Wei Bao likes professionals.

Although Wei Bao himself is involved in everything, he is a leader, and the main job of a leader is management, and he must know a little bit about everything, but he doesn't have to stare at one thing every day.

He prefers that his subordinates are specialists, and they specialize in one thing when they learn.

"I've seen the president!" Song Yingxing's two sons saluted Wei Bao, they have been living in Weijiazhuang for a month or two, and they already have a certain understanding of the title and management structure of the Heaven and Earth Society.

At this moment, they were both a little excited to see Wei Bao.

This is still a short time for them in the Heaven and Earth Society, if they have lived in Weijiazhuang or southern Liaoning for more than half a year, they can see President Wei, I am afraid that they will be even more excited.

"Get up, please. Good, good. Wei Bao was very happy to see Song Yingxing's two sons, "I respect Mr. Song as a teacher, and we are fellow generations, what is your name?" ”

"Tell me, the president asks your names." Song Yingxing hurriedly said to his two sons in Jiangxi dialect.

His two sons have not been out of Jiangxi for a long time, and a mountain in the south is a dialect, which is varied, unlike most of the northern dialects, which are more easily unified.

"Tell the president, my name is Song Shihui."

"Tell the president, my name is Song Shiyi."

Song Yingxing's two replies.

Wei Bao nodded happily: "Very good, you two will be by my side in the future." ”

Song Yingxing was overjoyed when he heard this, President Wei was either surrounded by the beautiful secretary of the President's Secretariat, or the President's Guard and the Tiandihui Statistics Bureau, although there were still a small number of stewards in charge of foreign affairs under the President's Secretariat, and some cooks and coachmen who served the president, but there were very few men.

If the two sons can stay with the president, it will be of great benefit to serve in the Heaven and Earth Society in the future.

"Haven't you thanked the president soon," Song Yingxing saw that his two sons didn't react, and hurriedly said.

Song Shihui and Song Shiyi hurriedly bowed deeply, "Thank you, president." ”

Song Yingxing smiled embarrassedly: "They just came out of their hometown, and I have been busy with scientific research for many years, and I have been running around outside, and I neglected to teach them. Don't be offended, president. ”

Wei Bao said: "It's okay, there is a process, we have seen more here, and it will naturally be different in the future." ”

Wei Bao not only gave Song Yingxing this face, he felt that Song Yingxing's two sons were quite eye-catching, and they were not very old, so they also wanted two such people to follow him.

After eating, Wei Bao chatted with Song Yingxing.

Talking about finance, Song Yingxing said: "In fact, in my opinion, the central bank of Tiandihui is far stronger than the other businesses outside, even the oldest history, the most systematic, and the most well-regulated Jin merchant money bank cannot be compared with us." It's just that the president doesn't take enough principal to come out, and it will be more difficult to obtain huge wealth with unstable power. ”

Wei Bao smiled: "Not necessarily, although we are more advanced than them, but Jinshang Qianzhuang has such a long history, and the basic exchange, storage, and mortgage business are very mature, it is not easy for us to fight a bloody road under them." As for the money invested in us, I don't think about it, and Mr. Song doesn't need to persuade him anymore. The central bank of the Tiandihui is still the old rule, except for the head office, other local branches, each province does not need to deposit more than 1 million taels. ”

Song Yingxing saw that Wei Bao was so persistent, and he didn't dare to persuade again, but he was still deeply worried.

This time, they came from Weijiazhuang, and although they did not bring gold or silver, they brought the equivalent of 10 million taels of Tiandihui banknotes.

At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the paper money system was implemented, and the use of gold and silver was prohibited, but more than 50 years later, Yingzong ascended the throne, and the Ming treasure banknotes had withdrawn from circulation.

As a result, the ban on the use of silver was relaxed, and silver was used openly, so that the circulation of silver became more and more extensive, and the two basic monetary functions of value scale and circulation method were obtained, and it became official currency.

The reason for this change should be found from the changes and development of banknotes, copper coins, and silver in circulation, that is, to explore their regularity from reality, so as to come up with a correct answer.

First of all, the circulation of Daming treasure banknotes is investigated.

The Daming treasure banknote system is a paper money system that is not exchanged, due to the heavy payment of military needs, and the amount of coinage is not much, only by issuing paper money to cope.

In the thirteenth year of Hongwu, there was already the phenomenon of inflation, and then there was a problem of the difference between the old and new banknotes, and it became more and more serious, so that the purchasing power of paper money was greatly depreciated, and the treasure money system began to deteriorate.

In the second year of Yongle, Chen Ying, the imperial historian of the left capital, proposed the implementation of the household salt law, that is, the salt tax, because of the increasing paper money, and stipulated that the large mouth ordered one pound of monthly salt, and the payment of banknotes was consistent, and the small mouth of half a catty of monthly salt was paid, and the banknotes were paid 500 wen, so as to recover the excessive banknotes in circulation.

When Renzong ascended the throne, Shangshu Xia Yuanji proposed to add "taxes on shops and stalls" to take concrete measures to recover the paper money that was flooded in circulation in order to increase its purchasing power.

He also suggested that "less official money should be released", but in practice it did not work.

During the Xuande period of the Ming Dynasty, the Ming treasure banknotes continued to depreciate.

In view of this situation, Liu Dingzhi advocated the contraction of currency.

In the first year of the orthodoxy of Yingzong of the Ming Dynasty, the ban on the use of silver was lifted, and the Ming treasure banknotes were actually no longer exercised.

In the 23rd year of Chenghua, Qiu Hai used the argument that "things and currencies are of equal value" to criticize the many drawbacks brought about by the implementation of the system of not converting paper money and the inflation policy, and advocated the implementation of a monetary system with silver as the main body and money and money as the main currency.

Since then, silver has been qualified as a legal tender and is used in both monetary flows.

Seventy percent use money, and thirty percent use money.

In the case of the continuous depreciation of the Daming treasure banknotes, the people are naturally happy to use the copper coins in order to minimize losses.

In cases where the ban on copper coins does not work, copper coins and banknotes are openly allowed to circulate in the market.

However, at the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, there was very little money, although Hongwu, Yongle, and Xuanfa had minted money, but the number was not much, coupled with the rampant private coinage, the flood of inferior money, resulting in the division of money into grades, so copper money in circulation has been impossible to become the main currency of the Ming Dynasty.

From the perspective of silver circulation, the use of silver was strictly prohibited at the beginning, but the prohibition did not stop, in the case of continuous depreciation of paper money, its circulation range became wider and wider, and finally became the basic monetary system in the middle and late Ming Dynasty.

Therefore, the reason for this situation can be summarized as the continuous depreciation of paper money and the reduction of copper coins, which promoted the widespread use of silver.

The second is that silver is more suitable as a material for money.

Because silver has advantages over copper coins, it is homogeneous, easy to divide, non-rotten, small in size but large in value, easy to carry, and can perform more functions of money.

Third, the production of silver has increased substantially, which can basically meet the needs in circulation.

This is also important, although silver has existed in the past, but the amount is too small to form a basic currency in circulation.

During the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, silver mines were opened, so the minting of silver coins was more than that of other dynasties in the past.

In addition, all countries in the world set off a frenzy of opening gold and silver mines, which influenced and promoted each other.

Fourth, the need to carry out international trade.

At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the policy of closing the country to the outside world was implemented, and it was not allowed to go to the sea.

After the middle of the Ming Dynasty, the maritime ban was relaxed, and overseas trade between China and Southeast Asian countries began to develop and gradually increase.

Chinese goods were exported to foreign countries through trade, and at the same time, American silver dollars and Dutch silver dollars also flowed into China through overseas Chinese in the Philippines.

In international trade, the use of silver does bring many conveniences, both as a means of purchase, as a means of payment, and as a means of storage.

That is, gold and silver can perform the functions of the world's currency, which cannot be replaced by paper money and copper coins.

Therefore, it is a historical necessity that silver became the basic monetary system after the middle of the Ming Dynasty, and it is also a great progress in the history of Chinese currency.

Although the banknotes of the Ming Dynasty were withdrawn from circulation after fifty or sixty years, and the banknote system was corrupted, many people of insight still affirmed the role of the banknotes themselves.

Ye Ziqi, who served as the chief bookkeeper of Baling in the early Ming Dynasty, believed that the circulation of paper money in the Yuan Dynasty was "used to power the department store and the people."

Its failure is not due to the imperfection of its law, and it is not possible to adapt it by future generations."

That is to say, the Yuan Dynasty began to implement the cashing of power money, and the later failure was that the number of issued was too large to maintain the cash.

He said, "If you want to enact a money law, you must make money and goods the foundation."

If the salt is introduced, the tea is introduced, and the tea and salt are introduced, so that the banknote law is so, and there is no danger of not doing it."

Therefore, he advocated the introduction of a system of circulation based on money and goods, and there would be no harm in it.

He equates the cashing of paper money with the cashing of salt leading salt and tea from tea shops, which shows that he did not pay attention to their differences, and is therefore theoretically flawed.

Because the number of salt and tea must be equal to or excess with the actual number of salt tea in the country's possession, salt tea can be cashed out.

If the actual number of salt tea in the country's possession is less than the amount indicated in the salt tea citation, there will be a tea salt quotation that cannot be cashed.

On the other hand, the number of banknotes issued can be several times more than the amount of cash reserves, and at the same time, it roughly corresponds to the amount of money required in the circulation of goods, so that not only can the holders buy goods, but also the value of the currency can remain stable.

The reason for this is that paper money is a symbol of currency and can play the role of a general equivalent, while salt and tea do not have this function, they only play the role of a bill of exchange.

However, Ye Ziqi's proposal to use paper money to regulate prices is relatively profound. He said: "With money as the mother, with the introduction as the son, the son and the mother have the right to control the world's department stores, out of the light of the goods, the day of the heavy goods of the recipients, weighing the weight and the appropriateness of the time, there is no infeasible reason." For example, if the water of the pond is equal to the ditch of the person, the water of the pool will flow turbulently, and the blood will always live.

Although the ditch of borrowing and listening to people is passed, and the ditch that comes out is blocked, the water dies and does not move, but it is soaking and soaking, and there is the danger of indiscriminate tendons, which is also reasonable."

That is to say, when the goods are light, that is, the price is low, the currency should be put in, and when the goods are heavy, that is, the price is high, the currency should be withdrawn, so that the paper money in circulation can maintain an objective and appropriate quantity, and the water in the pool can circulate turbulently, just as the blood of a person can always live.

Otherwise, it will be flooded.

Ye Ziqi's above metaphor vividly illustrates that paper money must maintain a normal quantity in circulation, which is conducive to the smooth circulation of paper money and the stability of its value.

Liu Dingzhi, who was the left attendant of the Ming Yingzong Rite Department and a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, still had a positive attitude towards paper money when the value of the Ming treasure banknotes continued to depreciate.

He believes that "pearls and jade treasures can be used, but not more, and grain and silk can be used, but not far." The waist is ten thousand through, the hand is inch, the cold can be clothed, the hungry can be eaten, not pearl and jade and self-rich, not gold and jade and self-sufficient, and the good rules of the ancients to care for the people of the world are also".

He was also in favour of paper money instead of money circulation.

He said, "The people depend on the grain of the people, and the money of the ring is the one who uses it, but the money can lead to the grain, then the money can be used." The people rely on the money and goods, and if the one foot of Chu is used, but Chu can represent money and goods, then Chu can also be used."

That is to say, paper money, like money, can be used to exchange food and clothing, which can make people "self-sufficient" and "self-rich".

Why the banknotes in the past were in circulation, it was "a matter of benefiting the people", but now it has become "the foundation of the sick people", he believes that "the husband used the people to go to the official exchange with the faint banknotes, and took the money of his work and ink, so the banknotes are not indiscriminate." In the past, Xu Min was allowed to pay and go to the official to collect, and as his servitude, so the banknotes were in circulation."

"It is not the case today, the money is made on the top, and there is no payment; The line of banknotes is also below, and there is no change. and its collection of money from the people, the wealthy businessmen and the wealthy accumulate money without levying it, the treacherous and cunning officials fish and hunt in the name of counterfeit money, the poor people of Yan Zuo send the land to their wives, and then get the money to send to the officials, the ministers seek to disturb the country and disturb the county and county, and then collect the money to store the treasury".

Therefore, he proposed the method of replacing the new banknotes, or recovering the old banknotes, and achieved that "the reason why the upper reward is that the Dai giver gradually comes out, and the reason why the lower loses the servant sometimes takes it". Banknotes can be unblocked.

These arguments, while glorifying the paper money system of the previous generation, have a powerful exposure to the greedy nature of the ruling class officials who use paper money to fish and hunt the people.

It is also of positive significance for maintaining the stability of the value of paper money.

There are two scientists of the late Ming Dynasty who have a view of money, one is the famous mathematician Li Zhizao, who is in favor of the use of silver.

He said, "! The holy king rules the world, because the feelings of the people are appropriate, and it is not deep and strong. Nowadays, the people's feelings are not in coins, but in silver coins, not a day, and they ask for gold to make the noon, and the MPF house is extended, and it is clear that it takes what it wants, and gives it what it does not want, and it is forced to do it, not by Qingyi (copper money) to foolish the head, the world is crowded, and it also has words."

It means that the use of silver has not won the hearts of the people for a day, and now it is necessary to switch to copper coins, "forcibly", and to fool the common people, it will inevitably cause chaos in the world.

Song Yingxing also agrees with turning silver into currency.

He said, "Under the common age, the people are poor and wealthy, and the whole amount is turned to tell each other, and those who are rich are born appropriate, and those who are artificially transported are also." The world has not tasted life, but it lacks words. It is said that the young intestine is the gully of China, and the slave is the gully of the nine sides, which refers to the white gold thing in terms of ears. The words of wealth refer to department stores, not to the words of A Chu (currency). Today, there is no less platinum, the valley of the field, the foundation of the mountains and forests, the mulberry under the wall, and the fish ear of the pool. There are a number of things here, white forging, gold screaming, waist wrapped in baskets to traders, will follow each other. ”

This is in response to the theory that the use of silver causes poverty.

He believed that the "poverty of the people" was not caused by a lack of silver, but by the shrinkage of social production.

"Wealth is a word, it refers to department stores, not a special word."

If social production becomes more and more abundant, "white forging" (silver) gold will come to the world, and "those who hold silver will use it to trade, "how little white gold can be today".

It reflects their cautious attitude towards things.

Especially under the shroud of the traditional idea of valuing money over silver, this attitude they hold is even more commendable.

Song Yingxing's enlightenment to Wei Bao is that, first, the various discussions of the thinkers of the Ming Dynasty on paper money, copper coins, and silver often repeat the views of the predecessors of the Song Dynasty, but they have unique views on some currencies.

At the same time, it can be seen from these discussions that the feudal rulers have constantly adopted and implemented inflation policies in order to maintain their rule and fully expose the rotten nature of their feudal regime's rule.

Second, the failure of the paper money system implemented in the Ming Dynasty was not due to the paper money itself, but to the inflationary policy implemented by the rulers.

Although the circulation of silver was repeatedly ordered by the rulers to be constricted, it continued to break through the cage and developed extensively and deeply, and finally obtained the basic monetary system in the middle and late Ming Dynasty.

This shows that the law of monetary development is not subject to people's subjective will, and can only be guided by the situation, otherwise it will be punished by the objective law.

Another day later, the original Tianjin Weitiandihui Qianzhuang, which had just been renamed Haiphong Qianzhuang, had an accident.

Hundreds of people came and demanded a return of the money.

If you return the money, you will return the money, these people are still shouting, and they are suspected of deliberately making trouble.

Lin Wenbiao hurriedly came to ask President Shiwei what to do.

Although he did not bring soldiers and horses over, President Wei maintained a combat team of two or three hundred people at any time, and there was not much problem in maintaining the law and order of Tianjin Wei.

What's more, now that the Governor of Haiphong Yamen has received the Holy Decree, he can rule over Hejian Mansion, Cangzhou Mansion, Shandong Province and Denglai Prefecture, which is a legitimate official government, and the power of this official government is in the hands of Lord Wei, the Governor of Haiphong Yamen, who was appointed by the Holy Decree.

"Let's go, let's take a look!" Wei Bao didn't make a blind decision, "This kind of thing can't be reckless, the other party obviously wants to stink our coastal defense bank, so that the people don't trust us, and arresting people casually will leave people with a mouthful." If you want to take the silver, let them take it, and the silver deposit in our Haiphong money bank is far greater than the person who takes the silver. ”

"But they can't be deliberately making trouble like this, right? They were all blocked at the door and called Haiphong Qianzhuang without any silver. Lin Wenbiao said.

This is a false statement, and to say such a thing is to be guilty of slander! Catch them all! Wei Bao said decisively.

"Yes, President!" Lin Wenbiao came from the gate of Haiphong Qianzhuang early in the morning, and was holding back the fire in his belly, just waiting for President Wei's words.

Wei Bao arrived at the gate of the Yamen of the Governor of Haiphong, and Yang Xue, Xiong Xin'er, Zuo Guozhu, Song Yingxing, Song Shihui, Song Shiyi and others also followed.

"I know that these people will do this, the simplest, most direct, and most effective way to deal with the money bank, there will always be only one way, run, in order to hit the credibility of the money bank, so that people dare not save money!" Song Yingxing said to Wei Bao.

"Not only that, we are calling Haiphong Money Bank, and we have already issued an announcement! In the future, the tax revenues of Hejian Prefecture, Cangzhou Prefecture, Shandong Province and Denglai Province were directly handed over to Haiphong Qianzhuang for management, as well as the leased government ships for shipping and shipping, and the transportation of goods to and from Haiphong Qianzhuang was also handed over to Haiphong Qianzhuang, which was of the nature of official supervision and commercial management, and to make trouble with Haiphong Qianzhuang was to find trouble with Haiphong Governor's Yamen, and they wanted to take advantage of this to squeeze us out. Wei Bao added.

"Intentions and their sinisterness!" Song Yingxing said angrily: "Since they have already started to make moves, they must have a back hand, the president must endure the fire, don't kill easily." ”

The reason why Song Yingxing reminded this sentence was because he knew Wei Bao's temper, Wei Bao's policies in Weijiazhuang and southern Liaoning were relatively mild, but it was not that he had never done anything to the people below, and the law was relatively strict.

In North Korea, the laws are even harsher!

Those who deal with crimes and those who enter and leave without the consent of the local household registration management department and live without authorization will be severely punished!

The Heaven and Earth Society does not often kill people, but the procedure for killing people is not cumbersome, and it may take less than a month for the perpetrator to fall to the ground.

Especially in the presence of President Wei himself, President Wei himself represents the highest power, and killing people is even faster.

"I know what Mr. Song means, I will take care of the situation." Wei Bao replied with a word, and stepped on his red deer horse.

The red deer horse raised its four hooves and rushed towards the Haiphong Money Village, which was only one street away from the Yamen of the Governor of Haiphong.

President Wei galloped on horseback, followed on both sides by the president's guards, all dressed in the uniforms of the Governor of Haiphong's yamen, each holding a bright red tassel spear, carrying a short blade at his waist and a short crossbow.

This equipment is considered to be the top in the Ming army, especially the short crossbow of the Heaven and Earth Society is only available to the Heaven and Earth Society, because in this era, except for the Heaven and Earth Society, no one has the industrial level of making hard springs.

In the case of close-quarters combat, the short crossbow is definitely not inferior to the pistol.

And the short crossbow of the Heaven and Earth Society can also fire in five bursts, which is almost as fast as the combo speed of a pistol.

There were four or five hundred people crowded at the gate of Haiphong Qianzhuang, which made Wei Bao frown, didn't it mean that there were only one or two hundred people running out, why are there so many people?

The people crowded at the gate of Haiphong Qianzhuang also saw Wei Bao, Wei Bao was not wearing an official uniform, he was dressed in a snow-white robe, and sat down on a red war horse, next to which was a team of errand officers with open guns.

All this made the already handsome President Wei even more handsome.

Originally, these people were shouting while blocking the gate, but now when they saw Wei Bao and the official messenger coming, they suddenly didn't dare to speak.

Wei Bao frowned: "It's early in the morning, what are so many people doing here?" Are they all here to get money? ”

No one dared to say anything.

Li Jingbai, Liu Yangyao, Li Linsun, Li Hesun, Li Jing, as well as Qiao Guangjin and Qiao Dongsheng, who came from the capital to the Jin merchants, and a large number of big families in Beizhili and Shandong, all wanted to see what Wei Bao would do.

Although it was a bit far away, Li Jing couldn't help but be moved when she saw Wei Bao, she had never seen such a good-looking man!

But any woman who sees Wei Bao for the first time will have this feeling, especially for young girls who have not yet gone through personnel, Wei Bao's adult lethality is even stronger.

Wei Bao didn't dismount, he slapped the whip lightly in his hand, and swept it over everyone's faces one by one.
