When Li Yue arrived at the Vertical Arch Palace, in addition to Emperor Zhu Chongli, Wen Bin, Tang Hao, Zhang Qi and Wen Anguo were also in the palace. Except for Tang Hao, the expressions of the others were not too relaxed, and it is estimated that they all knew about the bank run.

Li Yue bowed to Zhu Chongli on the dragon chair while asking for punishment: "Weichen's carelessness led to a run on the bank, which disturbed the saints. ”

"Li Qing is flat! Now is not the time to cure your crimes, you proposed to establish this bank, what are your best plans to deal with the current crisis? Zhu Chongli is probably the person who least wants to see the collapse of Daliang Bank, this month's bank loan of 200,000 yuan to the imperial court is really a solution to the urgent need, and he, the emperor, also hopes to continue to get stable financial support from the bank in the future.

"Your Majesty!" Li Yue got up and said: "At present, the Lin'an head office has sufficient deposits, and it only needs to be cashed out for the people normally, I believe that it will not be long before the situation will be stabilized, and the rumors that the imperial court will use the bank to defraud the people of their money will also be self-defeating." ”

Zhu Chongli was relieved to hear this, and then said viciously: "Who is so bold? How dare you spread such rumors? If the mastermind behind the scenes can be found, it is not too much to punish the nine clans for such villains. ”

Several important ministers in the hall really deserve to be people who are used to seeing big storms, and under Zhu Chongli's anger, they are all expressionless. It's hard to see even a hint of their mental activity on their faces.

"Your Majesty! This rumor has now spread all over Lin'an City, and it is very difficult to find out the source. ”

In fact, if you really want to check, it's definitely not impossible. It's just that Li Yue knows that this mastermind behind the scenes dares to take risks to attack the idea of Daliang Bank, and the origin must be not small, so it is not possible to be in this vertical arch hall now.

Li Yue didn't want to waste his energy in the power struggle of the Great Liang Dynasty now. His first task is to put the girder on the normal track of development according to his own plan. As for those who do evil, it's not that they don't repay it, but the time has not yet come!

Li Yue continued: "Holy Lord! Although the Lin'an head office is worry-free, the Yangzhou and Jiankang branches are now in danger. Half of the 200,000 yuan of loans from the household department came from these two branches, and the scale of their lending to private merchants is not small. ”

Zhu Chongli didn't bother to go to the mastermind behind the scenes for a moment, and asked eagerly: "Is there a solution?" ”

"Although the other party is cunning, his means are not clever. It is nothing more than taking advantage of the current emptiness of the imperial treasury and limited financial resources, wanting to take advantage of this time to squeeze the bank. Li Yue said calmly: "As long as the imperial court raises enough money in time, it will be able to tide over the crisis of this run." At that time, the people will inevitably have more trust in Daliang Bank, and the bank will also become a powerful guarantee for the imperial court to dredge the world's financial resources and even adjust the economy. ”

"How can I not know what you are talking about?" Zhu Chongli said with an embarrassed face: "But where can I find enough money?" You don't know what the state of the treasury is. ”

"Your Majesty, don't worry! The minister has a law, no need for a penny from the court, only an edict from His Majesty, which can solve this dilemma. Li Yue said confidently: "As long as Your Majesty orders the sale of 9% of the shares of Daliang Bank to the private sector, you will be able to raise enough money to deal with the run." ”

"Your Majesty! This is absolutely unacceptable! Tang Hao was the first to stand up and object: "How can the shares of the imperial court be sold easily. Moreover, when the bank was established, the court said that the court should not interfere in the operation of the bank. ”

Li Yue was a little surprised, although he and Tang Hao had already formed a bond, how could the always steady Zuo Xiang oppose this matter so fiercely. I had to argue:

"Your Majesty! At the beginning, the minister only said that the imperial court could not interfere in the specific operation of the bank, but did not say that the imperial court should sit idly by and watch the bank collapse. What's more, the imperial court is the largest shareholder of Daliang Bank, and if the bank really collapses, it will do all kinds of harm to the imperial court. ”

"Banks really can't fail." Wen Anguo, who was in charge of finance, spoke: "But selling the shares of the imperial court, this move is tantamount to killing chickens and eggs!" ”

"May I ask how much of the imperial court contributed one percent of the shares of Daliang Bank at that time?"

Li Yue's question is a bit marginal, and it is not difficult, Wen Anguo replied casually: "When the imperial court and several shareholders prepare to establish a bank, they will contribute a total of 1 million yuan, and one percent of the shares will naturally be 10,000 yuan. ”

"But the 9 percent of the shares that the imperial court is selling now are not sold at the original price, but are sold to the private bidding, and the one with the highest price wins. The benefits of banks can be seen by anyone with a little brain. I believe that even if one percent of the shares are sold for 30,000 yuan, there are many people who are willing to take over! ”

Li Yue preached here, Zhu Chongli and several of the most powerful ministers of the Liang suddenly felt that their brain cells were a little insufficient!

But Li Yue didn't finish speaking, he continued to talk at length: "This move can not only help the bank resolve the run crisis, but also increase a lot of income for the imperial court." Moreover, the imperial court still holds 51% of the shares of Daliang Bank, and is still the largest shareholder, holding the absolute right to speak. Most importantly, the sale of bank shares in the hands of the imperial court did not arouse the resentment of the people towards the imperial court as the increase in additional taxes, and the people would be more than happy to buy the bank shares in the hands of the imperial court at a high price. ”

Wen Anguo was the old minister in charge of the treasury of Daliang, and he was the first to react, and said to Zhu Chongli with a smile: "Your Majesty! I think this is possible! ”

Wen Bin and Zhang Qi didn't know much about financial management, but out of trust in Li Yue, they still said in unison: "The ministers seconded it!" ”

Although Tang Hao, whose face was pale, was unwilling, he couldn't find a reason to object.

"Then according to what Li Qing said!" A boulder in Zhu Chongli's heart finally landed, and his tone was not much more relaxed: "Then how to implement this matter?" ”

"The shares to be sold by the imperial court may be divided into a number of equal shares and sold in the form of shares, which may be freely circulated. The place where stocks were sold and bought could be called stock exchanges, and the imperial court could send personnel from the household department to supervise them. Li Yue put out the plan he had already thought of in his heart.

Zhu Chongli immediately decided: "Then this matter will be entrusted to you and implemented as soon as possible." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty for your trust!"

When Li Yue walked out of the palace, it was already sunset. He looked at the already red sky, and the clouds burned like flames, and like waves surging. The entire palace and even Lin'an City seem to be dressed in a colorful dress, which is fascinating.

Li Yue prayed in his heart, hoping that this early arrival of the stock trading system would give Daliang an equally brilliant future.
