Chapter 107: Resolution
Without thinking too much, Zhang Zhiyuan opened his mouth and said: "Gonggong Feng, among the three million taels of silver, only 20% of them are the original Zhang family's property.
Above the court, the old man has already returned to His Majesty, and the old man is willing to give up half of the family property. β
The meaning of Zhang Zhiyuan's words is very clear, among the three million taels of silver, Dongchang can take away ninety percent of it.
Feng Xi originally thought that Zhang Zhiyuan would say that among the three million taels of silver, Dongchang could only confiscate one and a half million taels of them.
As for the remaining 1.5 million taels, it is his Zhang Zhiyuan's family property.
After all, in the court before, half of the family property in Zhang Zhiyuan's mouth did not make it clear whether it included the part of Zhang Zhiyuan's greed for ink.
Now it seems that Zhang Zhiyuan has a very clear view of the current situation, and clearly knows that once he has any crooked thoughts, let alone enjoy his old age, he is afraid that he will be arrested by Dongchang or Jinyiwei tomorrow and put in prison.
Even though Zhang Zhiyuan has just stepped down from the position of the first assistant to the cabinet, he understands that officialdom has always pursued the rule of 'people go to tea and cool'.
In other words, even if Zhang Zhiyuan's protΓ©gΓ©s and old friends are all over the world, I am afraid that there will be only a few people who will really stand out for themselves at that time.
What's more, Zhang Zhiyuan still stepped down from the position of the first assistant to the cabinet in the current situation, but he was afraid that it would be too late for others to hide, let alone stand out for him.
Listening to Zhang Zhiyuan's words, Feng Xi was only slightly stunned, and quickly came back to his senses.
"Elder Zhang Ge deserves to be the first assistant of the cabinet for so many years!" Feng Xi saw that Zhang Zhiyuan was so 'knowledgeable', nodded with a smile, and then ignored it.
Zhang Zhiyuan is already a phoenix with falling hair, and Feng Xi could have done things like a well.
But Feng Xi didn't, and he didn't bother to do it.
Although Feng Xi is a eunuch, he also has his own bottom line.
After checking the confiscated property, Feng Xi left Zhang Zhiyuan's house and hurriedly went to the palace to report to Zhang Lingyang.
After hearing this, Zhang Lingyang nodded noncommittally, and then said: "You immediately take someone to sort out the confiscated silver, you must remember that the treasury can only get 20% of it at most, and the remaining 80% will be filled into the internal treasury." Also, the books are perfectly done! β
"Slaves obey!"
After Feng Xi left, Zhang Lingyang began to secretly calculate in his heart.
This time, in the capital alone, there were no less than 10 million taels of silver confiscated.
On Jinzhong's side, according to the analysis of the news from Han Xiao, if the ticket numbers in Jinzhong are exhausted this time, I am afraid that there will be no more than 10,000 taels of silver confiscated.
Of course, a large part of this 10,000,000 taels of silver is the customer's deposit, and Zhang Lingyang is not easy to fill into the treasury.
Otherwise, there will be chaos everywhere.
After all, those who could afford to save money on the ticket number were all gentry or merchants.
They don't just watch their money go down the drain.
Even if Zhang Lingyang himself is the emperor, he is afraid that he will not be able to resist such a huge force.
Therefore, Zhang Lingyang planned to return the silver stored in the ticket number to the original owner.
Even so, I am afraid that Zhang Lingyang can get 20 or 30 million taels of silver from it.
And with this money, Zhang Lingyang's original plan can be implemented smoothly.
As for Zhang Lingyang's original plan, of course, he opened a bank.
Long before he started with these ticket numbers, Zhang Lingyang had ordered Xiaofuzi to start digging up financial managers in various ticket numbers and training them.
Now it seems that it is time to prepare the bank.
Thinking of the bank, Zhang Lingyang couldn't help but think of the more than 10,000 taels of silver in the ticket number in Jinzhong.
"Otherwise, I'll just automatically transfer these deposits to the bank!" Zhang Lingyang thought so in his heart.
In this way, there is a great advantage, that is, the customers of the original ticket number in Jinzhong automatically become the customers of the bank.
Even after such a turmoil, customers who deposit money in the ticket number will definitely withdraw money from the bank, but it is impossible to withdraw all the money at once.
Even if you can keep a tenth of these customers, that's a lot of money.
Just do it when you think about it.
Zhang Lingyang hurriedly ordered Sun Sheng to call Xiao Fuzi over, say his thoughts, and continued: "You start to prepare now, and after the New Year, the bank will officially open."
In addition, in the future, the exchange of money with the imperial merchants was handled through the Royal Bank. β
On the morning of the next day, Zhang Lingyang said in front of a group of ministers in the Taihe Palace: "This time I confiscated the ticket numbers of Jinzhong such as HSBC, I am afraid that it will cause panic among the people, and then cause a run."
Therefore, I wanted to open a Da Zhou Royal Bank, and the business was similar to the ticket number. Customers who deposit a cheque number such as HSBC are automatically transferred to Royal Bank.
In the future, all customers who have deposited silver in HSBC and other ticket numbers can withdraw the silver deposited in HSBC and other ticket numbers in the Royal Bank with the bills, what do you think? β
Regarding Zhang Lingyang's proposal, the ministers in the court naturally would not object.
After all, apart from the gentry and merchants from all over the world, officials were the largest customers of ticket numbers.
Now that Zhang Lingyang said so, then these officials can recover many losses.
"Hmph, sample, do you think it's going to be that simple?" Looking at the happy officials in the court, Zhang Lingyang secretly laughed in his heart.
Next, Zhang Lingyang spoke again: "Zheng Aiqing, starting today, the treasury will pay salaries to officials and soldiers in various places through the Royal Bank. The taxes paid to the treasury by the localities are also handled by the Royal Bank. β
"Wechen obeys!" Zheng Yongji is now just thinking about how to tie up with Zhang Lingyang to stabilize his position as the first assistant to the cabinet, and how can he oppose Zhang Lingyang's decision?
As for the rest of the ministers, except for Li Guangtai and others, the rest of the ministers all shouted "Your Majesty Shengming!" β
In the face of the approval of the Manchu Dynasty, even if Li Guangtai had the heart to oppose it, he understood in the end that even if he objected, he was afraid that he would not get his wish in the end, so he had to give up!
Seeing that the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty were all agreeing with him, Zhang Lingyang couldn't help but feel proud in his heart.
At the same time, Zhang Lingyang secretly scolded these people for being stupid in his heart.
After all, in the future, as long as the money is distributed through the Royal Bank, then it will be impossible for the officials and generals below to deduct it.
At this time, the officials in the court are in the joy of regaining what they have lost, how could they think of this?
Zheng Yongji thought of this step, but he didn't dare and wouldn't say it.
Because Zheng Yongji understands that even if he is now the first assistant of the cabinet, the 'clear stream' of the Manchu Dynasty does not look down on him.
This also means that apart from relying on the emperor's favor, Zheng Yongji has no forces to rely on.
As for cultivating their own forces?
How can this be cultivated in a short period of time?
Besides, the most taboo for the sons of heaven in all dynasties is undoubtedly the ministers under him to form a party for personal gain, and Zheng Yongji will not do such a thing of digging his own grave......
