Chapter 421: The Strange Silver Ticket
"Joke, who doesn't have the guts, I'm afraid that if I go in, the four of you are still here and watching with weak legs." Lu Ziliang was not interested in entering, but he was provoked by Banji, but he became ambitious.
These are all people who don't believe in evil, and when they squeeze each other, they have courage if they don't have courage.
They did not walk out of the door of the restaurant, but jumped down from the upper floor, and then each showed his weapon and rushed to the opposite side.
The four living Buddhas are holding demon subduing magic weapons, demon subduing pestles, Faduo and other things, and Lu Ziliang showed his portable sword.
The moment the five of them rushed in, they saw a black shadow suddenly popping out inside.
Banji was shocked, and the demon pestle stepped forward and shouted: "What a demon and monster, your Buddha has come to subdue demons!" ”
Besides, he didn't know that this strange thing had happened in the city, and he closed the city gate, not to embarrass these high-rollers, but to prevent the border troops of the large camp outside the city from rushing in and making trouble.
At night, Sun Hu took the owner of Hengtong Money Village out of a brothel and brought him to him.
"My lord, the little one just opened a silver ticket for the silver deposited in the silver cabinet, I don't know if it's a crime?" The boss of the money village was so frightened that he was about to twitch, and said tremblingly.
Besides, he smiled: "Boss, you don't need to panic, you didn't break the law, we just understand the situation, not to ask for guilt." ”
"Oh, that's right." When the boss heard this, his heart was calmer, and he still looked back at Sun Hu with palpitations.
This guy really deserves to be a brocade guard, much more ruthless than the bandits, and that posture is almost like he is going to be eaten alive, as if he has committed a heinous crime.
"You should have an impression of this silver ticket, who is it for?" Besides, he took out the silver ticket of 200,000 taels and asked.
The money bank issued a silver ticket is not named, unless the guest has a special request, but the silver ticket of 200,000 taels is by no means a small number, I believe that a money bank, a year can not open a few.
This thing is like a million-pound banknote, the banks of the entire British Empire only issued three million-pound bills back then, and the Ming Empire would not have many chances to issue 200,000 taels of silver bills.
In fact, the principle of issuing silver bills is the same as that of the British Empire's British pound sterling banknotes, including the US dollar that was later secured by gold, which required physical currency such as silver or gold as collateral.
You have ten thousand taels of silver in your cabinet before you can issue a silver note of ten thousand taels of silver, and the same is true of the bank, how much gold you have in your vault to open as many pounds sterling as you want.
It's just that the Ming Dynasty was still dominated by physical money, and the scale of the money bank failed to develop to the scale of the British Imperial Bank, but the principle and mechanism were the same.
If the Ming Empire had not died prematurely, the business model of Qianzhuang, which had been developed to the extreme, would have turned to a more reasonable banking model, and the national economy would inevitably gradually move towards capitalism, which is a historical process that can be encountered.
It is a pity that history has no ifs, and history has its own trajectory.
The boss looked at the silver ticket, of course he remembered, and he remembered that he was so excited that he almost jumped up, and 200,000 taels of silver came in, how much money did he have to make?
The money bank makes money just like the bank, there are customers who deposit the silver, they take the money, issue a silver ticket, and then indicate the interest on the silver ticket, and the interest is paid to you at the same time you withdraw the silver.
However, the interest paid to the guests was lower, and the money was turned around and lent to those merchants who were in urgent need of silver, and sometimes even to the imperial court, which was no joke, and when the court did not have the silver to pay the army, it had to borrow money from the bank. What the bank earns is the interest difference generated in the process of borrowing, isn't this the prototype of the modern bank?
"This is a silver ticket for the little prince of Tatar to take Hannaji." The boss said without thinking.
"What? Put His Royal Highness Prince Hannaji? "Besides, I almost jumped.
"My lord, I didn't break the law, did I?" Seeing this, the boss was so emotional that he was so frightened that he was about to pee again.
"No, it's none of your business, you can issue a silver ticket when the guest deposits money, this is a natural thing, and it is not illegal." Besides.
He is still reasonable, the Jin merchants do business with the customs is tacitly approved by the imperial court, and the non-governmental trade, as long as it does not cross the line of collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country, he will not interfere with the right of people to do business properly.
"Are you sure this is the silver deposited by His Royal Highness the Prince?" Besides, I asked again.
"Of course, Lord Qincha, the villain will never dare to talk nonsense."
"It was deposited by His Royal Highness the Prince himself? No, as far as I know, His Royal Highness the Prince has never entered Datong City. Besides, he said coldly.
"It was one of his men who deposited it with silver, and also brought a letter from the prince saying that it was exchanged for 200,000 taels of silver for expenses in the interior."
Besides, he nodded, knowing that he couldn't ask anything anymore, so he waved his hand and asked Sun Hu to send the boss of the money bank back.
"No, how could His Royal Highness the Little Prince collude with Li Zhipeng? There must be a misunderstanding here. Ji Chang smiled bitterly.
The little prince just got married to Anda, and before this enthusiasm has passed, he openly colluded with Li Zhipeng? If that's the case, you'll be in a very disadvantageous position. The little prince can collude with Li Zhipeng to oppose the Ming, how can he not incite the Ming because of this Anda relationship?
However, the statement of the shopkeeper of the money bank is also reasonable, the little prince does need to buy a lot of things to enter the mainland, and it is not uncommon to exchange a silver ticket for the use of the mainland, and he agrees to bring a number of silver tickets that can be passed outside the Cypriot Block, so as to buy all kinds of necessary items outside the Cypriot Block.
"Send a letter to the little prince and ask where this silver ticket went." Besides, he sat down, wrote a letter, sent someone to the residence of the little prince outside the gate at once, and asked for an immediate reply.
This silver ticket should have been handed over to Li Zhipeng by the Lord of Yan, and there was no indication that Prince Hannaji had any contact with Li Zhipeng. This was the first judgment of the matter, and he did not think that the little prince was a treacherous man.
But since the silver ticket was issued by Hannaji, how did it get into the hands of Lord Yan Helm? Could it be that the little prince has an unusual relationship with the White Lotus Sect?
Although he didn't have much contact with the little prince, he could also feel that this was a glorious character, even as an opponent, there was no need to suspect him of any tricks, presumably King I was also this kind of character.
All kinds of conspiracies and tricks, ghost tricks, generally speaking, all come from Zhao Quan's sect leader and his White Lotus Sect's subordinates, and the Han people will be so unscrupulous and unscrupulous to deal with the Han people, so without a bottom line.
"Immediately interrogate Li Zhipeng!" Besides, he stood up and made up his mind.
Ji Chang sang and immediately went to prepare.
"Li Zhipeng, do you still recognize this silver ticket?" In the basement, besides, hand the silver ticket to Li Zhipeng.
Li Zhipeng was expressionless after reading it, and he only said a sentence for a long time; "I don't know, I haven't seen it."
"I haven't seen it, this is copied from your house, you dare to say you don't know it. Is it that if you don't get punished, you won't tell the truth?! Ji Chang next to him slapped the table and said loudly and angrily.
Li Zhipeng also looked at Ji Chang angrily: "This general soldier has made meritorious contributions to the imperial court, and today it just fell into the hands of your Jinyi guards, let you torture it." The accusations you have given me are false. ”
Besides, he smiled: "Mr. Li, who took the initiative to ask for amnesty just now?" It's not me. You have no sins, what are you going to do with forgiveness? Also, if you think that our Jinyiwei handled the case unfairly, I can transfer your case to the Criminal Department at any time and see how the adults of the Criminal Department clean you up. ”
Li Zhipeng said that it is true that he had already taken the initiative to ask for amnesty, but in fact he had already explained a lot of problems, and now it is just a matter of finding empirical evidence.
In the end, even if there is no other evidence, just by virtue of this silver ticket of unknown origin of 200,000 taels of silver, he will be charged with fornicating with Tatars, and no one will cry out for him.
"I haven't seen a silver ticket, it's not mine." Li Zhipeng said for a long time.
"Well, you said it wasn't yours, so maybe someone in your family collaborated with the enemy and betrayed the country? It looks like I'm going to have to go through your family one by one before I can find out about it. Besides, he gritted his teeth.
"Don't ......," Li Zhipeng said in a lost voice.
He jerked to his feet, but sat down again.
Besides, everyone who has passed the knife is to dig a big pit in the wilderness, and then they start to cut off their heads one by one, and after cutting one they are thrown into the other, and finally they are buried.
This was the standard model of raiding homes and destroying doors in the Tang Dynasty, and it was no longer the case in the Song Dynasty.
In the Ming Dynasty, the men were beheaded when they were adults, and the underage men were castrated in the palace to be eunuchs, and the women who were old did not enter the palace to work, specializing in washing clothes, brushing the toilet, and passing the gutter and other men's work, and the young and underage were all sent to the workshop as prostitutes.
In the Ming Dynasty, there were government-run brothels, and the chief shopkeeper was the emperor, and the profits of the brothel were special funds, which were specially used to make fat powder money for the concubines in the palace. I don't know what Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di think, it's a little disgusting to use the money earned by prostitutes selling their flesh and skin to wipe their concubines' faces.
But after all, this still leaves people a way to live, and the "one by one" is really killed.
Besides, just to scare him, he really can't do such a thing. But Li Zhipeng didn't know that Jin Yiwei couldn't do anything.
Li Zhipeng thought in his heart that besides, he was the kind of well-dressed beast with an elegant appearance and a heart like a snake and scorpion, this kind of person was the most terrifying, especially when he was still in charge of the supreme power, he was simply the reincarnation of the living Hades, lawless, cruel, and outrageous.
"Lord Qincha, I said that the silver ticket was given to me by the person surnamed Yan, and I just accepted it and didn't promise him anything."
For the sake of his family's life, Li Zhipeng had no choice but to bow his head, but he was still trying his best to get rid of himself.
"That Yan Duo Lord has already been identified as the leader of the White Lotus Sect, what does he ask you to do?" Besides, I am very happy in my heart, it seems that there is no need to be punished, and scaring also has the same effect, and it may have a better effect.
What he was most distressed about was Li Zhipeng's refusal to speak, as long as he was willing to speak, it would be easy to do.
He ...... He asked me to take the initiative to withdraw from the Great Wall in the autumn when the king of Altan came to attack. Li Zhipeng gritted his teeth and began to spit out word by word.
