Chapter 206 The heart of the wealth fan is bold

This is a village located outside the city of Lin'an, if only from the outside, this village is not surprising, by the mountains and rivers, just like the large and small gardens in the south of the Yangtze River. But when he entered the village, Zhang Xingpei felt the difference, the first one was the shade, and the scorching heat in Lin'an City was also quite famous, but in this courtyard, he could hardly feel the heat of the hot summer.

This is thanks to the waterwheel behind the mountain, on which a dam was built, and the waterwheel led the water to the roof, and it flowed down the clay pipe on the eaves, and the clay pipe had an eye the size of millet at intervals, and the water dripped from the eye, so that all the houses were covered in a curtain of water beads.

Although it is not a novelty, it can be imagined how much money and mind it takes to make a waterway that passes through such a large village. And this is just to cool off during the hottest two months of the year.

"It's luxury, but it should also be extravagant."

After staying in Liuqiu for two years, Zhang Xingpei's thoughts are no longer the same as before, he hates the rich to the core, he knows that every penny that the rich spend, there is a poor person who earns this penny directly or indirectly, so he is not afraid of the luxury of the rich, but he is afraid that only a very small number of rich people are extravagant and the vast majority of them are extremely poor people who cannot afford to spend.

When he first arrived at Liuqiu, he was always surprised by Liuqiu's strange theories and all kinds of ingenious equipment, so he was not surprised when he saw this water curtain. Tan Hou, who came with him, said with a smile: "Brother Zhang is really well-informed, and when he sees this, he is the only one who does not change color." ”

Zhang Xingpei smiled slightly, but did not answer, he was now pretending to be unpredictable.

After he was ushered into the guest hall, it didn't take long for him to hear a light cough inside, and then an old man with a white beard swayed out. This old man was in excellent spirits, and after seeing the two of them, he greeted: "Brother Tan, is this the rich Brother Zhang?" ”

"Huang Xinglao, this is Brother Zhang Xian." Tan Houdao.

Huang Shaobin immediately bowed his hand and said: "Brother Zhang's distinguished guests are here, and the old man has not been able to welcome him from afar, and I ask for forgiveness and forgiveness." ”

"Don't dare, don't dare, Huang Xing is a senior in Lin'an, and it's an honor for the younger generation to be able to visit."

Although Huang Shaobin was hidden, Zhang Xingpei still sensed that he was secretly looking at himself. Zhang Xingpei's heart moved, although this old man is cunning, he doesn't have the bearing to do great things, just because he can control the price of rice in Lin'an and even the exchange of gold yuan coupons?

"After a while, you just listen and don't ask." Tan Hou whispered in Zhang Xingpei's ear.

Zhang Xingpei nodded slightly, indicating that he already knew. He sat down, and it didn't take long for twelve more people to come, half of whom Zhang Xingpei knew, and those who didn't know looked at them, and they were all rich businessmen. After everyone took their seats, they all looked a little nervous, but no one spoke. To make these businessmen so quiet can only be something about a large amount of business, Zhang Xingpei squinted his eyes and looked around, always feeling that someone was watching him, but he didn't know who that person was.

After a while, a man in Tsing Yi walked in wearing a hat, in such a hot weather, it was a fate to take a hat to shade the sun, but to bring the hat into this house, it was a bit tricky. Zhang Xingpei stared at the man in some surprise, and the man did not greet anyone, but sat in the top position in a big way.

"Ahem!" Huang Shaobin coughed lightly, and the hat-bearer handed him something, he spread it out and looked at it, and then his face was happy.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the time has come, starting today, at least six newspapers in Lin'an City will report on the situation of the locust plague in Huaibei one after another, in addition to the disaster in various parts of the Great Song Dynasty since the beginning of this year, you can rest assured, these are all news obtained through the right way, and it has also passed the "Publication Regulations", and the government will not pursue it." Huang Shaobin said with a smile on his beard: "Moreover, the old man has calculated, the stock of money in the Liuqiu Bank is less than one million, and we have now collected six million coins from all over the world. ”

"After cashing out, there is no money available on the market, and the people of Lin'an want to buy rice and noodles, but they can only rely on coins and gold dollar coupons, you should know what to do at this time, right?"

Zhang Xingpei frowned, almost screaming.

In order to establish credit, the people could not help but exchange money and gold dollar coupons for money at the beginning, and the small amount of money in the hands of the people could be exchanged for money, and they didn't care at all in terms of the strength of the bank, and the merchants in order to facilitate the sale, they would exchange the gold dollar bills that were easy to carry and more convenient to trade with the bank, which made the money in the bank maintain a slow growth process, and the credibility of the bank has gradually been established in the past six months.

However, if it really makes a deal for these people, the bank will immediately be crowded by people who come to exchange money with gold dollar coupons and coins, and whenever there is a famine, the price of rice is high, even the money may not be reliable, not to mention the gold dollar coupons that are just a blank sheet of paper and the gold yuan coupons that have been in circulation for a short time in the Great Song Dynasty!

What's even more terrifying is that there is another layer of meaning in Huang Shaobin's words that he did not say directly, that is, to take the opportunity to raise the price of rice, at least when the grain stores in Lin'an City no longer accept gold yuan coupons and coins, the already extremely scarce copper coins on the market are even more scarce, and if people want to buy rice, they must pay a higher price than under normal circumstances.

Although Zhang Xingpei is still confused about the specific operation of Huang Shaobin and his gang, he can already see the results: the reputation of the bank is bankrupt, the price of rice is expensive, and the people are complaining, and the next thing is the bankruptcy of the reputation of the new deal of the Son of Heaven, and even the reputation of the Son of Heaven himself is discredited.

The people are very real, and a victory in a distant country can certainly make the people rejoice, but if it causes their livelihood to be in jeopardy, then they will immediately forget the glory of the past. After all, although Zhao Heju's prestige at this time is high, it cannot be regarded as stable, at least it will not be more important than the people's meals.

It's just that these businessmen are so bold and reckless, aren't they afraid of the government's investigation?

He wanted to ask a question, but remembered Tan Houzhi's words, so he pursed his lips and said nothing. After this rally, it was not too late for him to ask Tan Hou this question.

"It's just that this time, the preparation is a little insufficient, and now I am worried that the money in the bank will be more than I have calculated...... Brother Zhang. Huang Shaobin said as he spoke, suddenly turned to Zhang Xingpei, and said with a smile: "I heard that Brother Zhang has a few passbooks that can be withdrawn from the bank at any time, Brother Zhang is willing to try to go to the bank, only said that he wants to take a million money, if the bank has sufficient reserves, Brother Zhang's withdrawal will be smooth, with this million money, Brother Zhang will be able to make a lot of money in the next few days." If the bank is not enough money, I will ask Brother Zhang to transfer the coins and gold dollar coupons, no matter how many coins and gold dollar coupons Brother Zhang takes out, we are willing to double the return of the money after the matter is completed, I don't know what Brother Zhang wants? ”

Zhang Xingpei inspected everyone, looking at Tan Hou's meaningful smile, he knew in his heart that if his family did not allow it, he was afraid that it would be extremely difficult to give birth to this door.

He replied angrily: "Since there is such a good opportunity to make a fortune, how can I Zhang be willing to be a queen!" ”

Hearing that he agreed to this, the original eyes of the people all softened, Zhang Xingpei turned his eyes, but felt that the person wearing the hat seemed to move, he was keenly aware that the person wearing the hat seemed to be ready to speak, and he said: "It's just that Zhang has something to understand, I am waiting to act like this, what if the government knows?" ”

"You just have to rest assured that this thing was taken out by the government, and the State Information Department has reported it, it is legal, and there are our people in the court." Huang Shaobin pointed to what he had just seen: "When today's son is the most benevolent woman, the matter of "Jinghua Secrets" last time, he was only concerned, and the Taixue students were repeatedly disobedient, and he did not pursue it. He believes in utilitarianism the most, don't we just act for utilitarianism? ”

All the businessmen smiled knowingly, and Huang Shaobin obviously didn't have much respect for the Son of Heaven between his words, which made Zhang Xingpei's heart feel a pang again.

Behind such an act, I am afraid that it is not just someone in the court.

If the court did not investigate this matter, it would not find out the wealthy businessmen who had the largest and most frequent amount of money, and then asked him Zhang Xingpei to pretend to be a tea merchant to investigate. He glanced at the man wearing the hat again, this person is the most important, if he can know the identity of this person, then it is perfect.

"This Zhang Daguan doesn't have to go back, I think that the passbook Zhang Daguan is carrying, Huang Shaobin, you send someone to go to the bank with Zhang Daguan to withdraw money."

He was thinking about how to unravel the mystery of the Hatholder's identity, but he heard the Hatholder speak in a hoarse voice that had been deliberately concealed. These words made him shudder, and Huo Di was about to stand up, but was immediately held down by two hands behind him.

Immediately, Zhang Xingpei understood that he intended to break into this group of people to find out the truth, but this group of people was also waiting for a person who caused this incident. If the Huaibei locust plague was the trigger for the incident that took the opportunity to stir up the people's worries about the price of rice, then he, a person from Shu who had no roots in Lin'an, was the one who initiated the incident. After the incident, the government investigated it, and he had to be thrown out as a scapegoat.

His face turned pale - it was not a pretend, only he knew that the bankbooks he had on him were fake.

The system of the flow of the bank, each fold has a number of half seals, to be equivalent to the bottom seal left by the flow of the bank, and the signature is consistent, can be handled, when the handling must also be reported to know the secret code, which is composed of ten digits and twenty-two heavenly stems and branches, if the seal can still be faked, this secret code is the survivor to keep in mind can not be faked. The other party sent someone to kidnap him to the bank to withdraw money, and inevitably forced him with a sword to get the money, and he could live a little longer, if he couldn't get it, he would definitely be killed on the spot.

"Brother Tan!" He looked at Tan Hou.

Tan Hou was full of greed, and he no longer had the friendly appearance when he got along with him before, so he just nodded: "Don't worry, Brother Zhang Xian, don't worry, after the matter is completed, you will have a lot of returns, not to mention anything else, the benefits of the bronze weapon alone will not refer to five times!" ”

Zhang Xingpei sat down in the chair, sweat on his forehead, Rao was specially trained in Liuqiu, but at this time of life and death, it was still difficult to control himself.

If his identity is revealed at this time, he will die faster.

A hand reached into his bosom and groped, and in a moment he touched the stack of passbooks, which he always put on his body in order to win the trust of others. Seeing the passbook coming out of these people's hands, he swallowed his saliva and forced a smile: "Although this matter is good, it's just ...... There's just one thing I don't understand. ”

"Say it, say it." Huang Shaobin said with a smile.

"When the Son of Heaven welcomed the concubine into the palace, you have all seen the mountains of gold, silver and copper ingots, and you are begging the bank to have sufficient capital, what if you have enough copper coins in your hands?"

"That's a copper ingot, not money!" The hat man snorted coldly.

His meaning is very simple, copper ingots are melted into money, it will take some time, and it will take some time for this money to enter the market and circulate, and they are fighting this time difference, even if the bank has sufficient copper reserves, they can still make a profit before the copper becomes money.

Zhang Xingpei nodded, stood up and said, "Who will accompany me to Liuqiu Bank?" ”

"These of my men are the strongest and most loyal, and I can ensure that you and the money are not lost." Huang Shaobin looked at the numbers on the passbook, greed flashed in his eyes, and then smiled: "If Brother Zhang can trust me, tell me the secret code, and I will run this trip for you." ”

Zhang Xingpei pursed his lips when he heard this, and only after a while did he ask: "What is the expiration date according to the week today?" ”

"Thursday, how's that?"

"After I entered Lin'an, I reset the secret code, just in case, the secret code used from Monday to Sunday is different, so I have to ask." Zhang Xingpei said with a smile: "The stakes are very high, Huang Xing is a senior in the Lin'an industry, I can trust myself, please come here." ”

"You just put it on paper." Huang Shaobin ordered someone to bring paper and pencils, but he didn't get close to Zhang Xingpei, Zhang Xingpei secretly said cunningly, and then wrote a series of numbers on the paper. Huang Shaobin looked at it carefully, and then put the paper away.

"You will rest here for a while, and I will come when I go." Huang Shaobin went out for a while, and the hat man also went out with him, and not long after, he turned back again, but the hat man was gone.

Zhang Xingpei had wiped the sweat from his forehead and began to get close to everyone, everyone treated him as if he was a dead man, but he was perfunctory, and they talked to each other very eagerly. Zhang Xingpei couldn't, and finally pulled Tan Hou and said, "Brother Tan, you hurt me." ”

"Isn't it your own family looking for a way to make money?" Tan Hou's expression at this time was much more arrogant than before, and he said unreasonably: "I brought you here, if you don't want to, you can leave, who will keep you?" ”

"Brother Tan is deceiving me again, if I don't agree with it, can I still get out alive?" Zhang Xingpei said unreservedly: "I only brought three entourages, and in this suburban villa, I was killed and buried in a ditch, even if I couldn't find it in three or five years." ”

Tan Hou looked at him and smiled, but he didn't answer. Zhang Xingpei saw that the people around him were not paying attention, and said in a low voice: "Brother Tan saved my life, I am willing to sacrifice my brother with my family wealth!" ”

Tan Hou's face tightened, obviously tempted, but after a while, he sighed again: "Brother Zhang, it's not difficult for me to save you, but if you have money to make money, you can't spend it!" ”
