Qian came in and was a fool, the boss who bit the golden mouth and looked at Zhang Zeduan, they didn't understand in their hearts, the people next to them, like themselves, bought bonds and got the reward of the Son of Heaven, but on their own side, they had to face the crime of killing their heads, which made them unacceptable at once.

"Lord Zhang, the villain is wronged! The villain is loyal to His Majesty, and before His Majesty's bond has come out, the villain took the lead in buying 500,000 taels! Qian came in in a panic, and quickly knelt on the ground and shouted loudly.

"Yes! Master Zhang, is there a misunderstanding! My Qian family is loyal to Your Majesty! Qian Biting Jin also reacted and said loudly. He looked flustered, knowing that his good life was not over yet, and at this time, he was killed by someone, wouldn't he have died unjustly.

"Hmph, what do you do to Your Majesty, I don't know, but you have already committed the matter of carelessly disregarding people's lives, just this one, it is enough to kill you, since the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, you have killed a total of three grain merchants, mostly to buy murders, the secret guard has already found out, you buy bonds, it is beneficial to the imperial court, but it cannot cover up the fact that you kill people, as for other bullying and domination, it is even more true to raise the price of grain." Zhang Zeduan sneered: "Do you think that doing something for the imperial court today can cover up the fact of your crime?" ”

"I'm not convinced, the villain is not convinced, isn't the same for the Xu family? When it was more than ten years old, the Xu family once took refuge in Cai Jing, and also manipulated grain prices, and I heard that they also killed their subordinates by mistake. is also careless about human life, why can he be rewarded by the Son of Heaven? Qian came in and suddenly thought of something, and suddenly shouted loudly.

"Let you die too. The Xu family has indeed killed a subordinate by mistake for more than ten years, and it is also a price hike, and he can have today, it is through this means that he can have today, but that was more than ten years ago, the Tang Dynasty has not yet been established, how did His Majesty deal with the affairs of the previous dynasty. And after the Xu family became my courtiers of the Tang Dynasty, it can't be said that they are self-denying, but the big mistake is no, last year they bought and sold grain at a fair price, built bridges and paved roads on weekdays, and were kind to others, so the Son of Heaven thought that they would change their mistakes and could be rewarded. Your Qian family is far behind. Zhang Zeduan sneered: "Don't think that your 500,000 taels of silver can cover up the fact of your crime, can you still escape the things you committed in Datang?" ”

"We spent 500,000 silver coins!" Qian came in pale, he didn't expect that what he was worried about finally broke out, and it was in this way, when he thought of this, he felt a burst of regret in his heart.

"It's really bold, I thought that Your Majesty wouldn't notice you, and you still want to be a scholar, what is the identity of you people, and you also want to be a scholar, who gave you the courage?" The disdain on Zhang Zeduan's face became even stronger, and he sneered: "Your Majesty originally thanked you for your courage and loyalty, and wanted to reward each of you, but I think that once the Son of Heaven is rewarded, what a big deal it is, if the reward is wrong, wouldn't it disgrace the Son of Heaven, the secret guard naturally wants to check it, I don't know if I don't check it, I was shocked when I checked it, among more than 80 people, there are more than 40 people who have violated the law, and after becoming the people of the Tang Dynasty, I still don't change my teachings, I don't know how to act carefully, I really admire you!" Zhang Zeduan watched with some pity as the money came in, father and son.

The money came in pale, and there was no joy just now, but I didn't expect things to turn out like this, I knew it was like this, I shouldn't have spent money on these bonds, even if I bought it, I had to be careful, just earn some interest, why bother making such a big fuss and writing to the Son of Heaven to let the Son of Heaven notice himself? Wealth is not exposed!

Qian Jin suddenly thought of something, and immediately laughed, Zhang Zeduan and Qian Biting Jin, who were laughing, both showed a trace of weirdness on their faces, and they didn't know what Qian Jin's laughter meant at this time.

"Master Zhang, after I die, how will the family be arranged?" Qian came in, his face was cold, and his eyes flashed with a hint of despair.

"The opinion of the government hall is that according to the law, it will either be exiled or beheaded, but Your Majesty's will kill the first evil and the accomplice, and eighty percent of the family property will be confiscated. If the heir is innocent, he will leave it to the heir, and if he has no heir, the two will be sold in Bianjing Mansion for the expenses of Bianjing Mansion. Zhang Zeduan said without thinking: "You have four sons, the eldest son and the second son are guilty successively, beheaded!" The third and fourth sons are young and can get 20% of your property. ”

"Okay, okay, I'll come in and confess. Ha ha! Sure enough, you can't deceive the sky. Qian Jin nodded again and again, his eyes became very calm, and said: "What Master Zhang said is right, what kind of people are we, we still want to go to the Son of Heaven, it's really ridiculous!" ”

Zhang Zeduan's compassionate eyes swept over, and he felt a pity in his heart, isn't the most fundamental reason why these people were convicted is just a book? The Son of Heaven can encourage business, but he will definitely not encourage businessmen to participate in major affairs in the DPRK and China.

Even Zhang Zeduan speculated that after arresting more than 40 major businessmen in one go and confiscating so much family property, the imperial court was afraid that it would increase a lot of money, not to mention recruiting troops and horses, and even next year it would be able to eat enough. For the businessmen in the world, there is no change at all, the imperial court's encouragement of business will not change, and even some businessmen will be rewarded, Zhang Zeduan will also think that every time the court has no money, it will still take such a method, as if cutting leeks, round after round, never stop.

Of course, the most important thing in this is that you will not make mistakes, do business honestly, do not violate the laws of the imperial court, and the imperial court will not forcibly seize your family property so disregarded. This time, there are nearly forty households that have been rewarded, and they have been given a plaque by the Son of Heaven, which is enough to make them brilliant for a while.

"Take it down and seal off the money house." Zhang Zeduan looked at the house in front of him, his eyes showed a hint of coldness, he was a high-ranking official like Yin of Bianjing Mansion, and the house he lived in was still rewarded by the imperial court, and when he resigned or was transferred, the mansion was to be returned to the imperial court, not only him, but other officials of the imperial court were like this, either they had money and bought a mansion, or, they lived in a house rewarded by the imperial court, whether large or small, they were all according to their grades. Where is it like the merchant in front of him, who actually lives in such a luxurious mansion. is rich and unkind, and deserves to be targeted by the court. Zhang Zeduan ignored the cry from the Qian house, turned around and left.

He had to go to another mansion and continue to do this.

The merchants of the entire Bianjing City did not expect that their own paper folds would lead to such consequences. From then on, the businessmen of Bianjing knew that they should keep a low profile and do more good deeds on weekdays.
