Chapter 447: Dong Zhuo is also short of money
"What do you say? Only a few million dollars in cash were confiscated? What about the royal bank, did you copy it, didn't you say that there were billions of property? ”
Dong Zhuo was extremely angry when he heard the report from his subordinates, he entered Luoyang, and was about to collect it, but in the end, he felt that there was not much money, and now he didn't dare to attack the major families in the city.
"My lord, we searched the homes of the ten permanent servants, and also searched the palace, and indeed found a large number of assets, but the cash is only a few million." Guo Yan, who was in charge of the raid, said.
Dong Zhuo held back his anger and said, "Okay, then tell me, what did you find?" ”
"We raided hundreds of properties in Luoyang City and several counties around Luoyang, many of which were of great value, as well as a large number of golden tickets from the Royal Bank, and a large number of treasures were found in the palace."
"Hundreds of properties? Now the entire Luoyang City is mine, hundreds of properties, even if it is thousands of properties, what is the use. Dong Zhuo said angrily: "Isn't there a large number of golden tickets for the Royal Money Bank, exchange them for me immediately, and I will reward the three armies." ”
"Lord, we also went to the Royal Bank, but several places were closed, and after we smashed the bank, it was empty, there was nothing, and all the funds did not know where to go." Guo Yan said cautiously.
"Then go to other money banks to exchange, aren't there four major commercial banks of the Ye family, the Wei family, the Mi family and the Zhen family?"
Seeing Dong Zhuo so angry, Guo Yan wiped his cold sweat, and then said: "Lord, no, the golden tickets of the other four money banks can be exchanged with each other, because they have a clearing center, but the golden tickets of the royal money houses cannot be exchanged with them. ”
The Golden Ticket of the Royal Bank cannot be exchanged with other banks, this is made by Ye Chen, and he excluded the Royal Bank when he established the clearing center, because he had already thought of this day.
If the royal money banks are allowed to exchange with each other, the money banks of the four major commercial families will definitely have great losses at this time, although their losses all fall into the pockets of the Ye family, but Ye Chen does not want to do this, the money bank is finally established, if this is the case, then it will be a major blow to the money bank, and it may lead to the collapse of the money bank system.
Qian Zhuang is very important to business, so Ye Chen will spare no effort to exhibit, and will pull several other families to do it together, now that the Qian Zhuang system has covered the entire Han Dynasty, he will definitely not let Qian Zhuang collapse.
"In other words, we didn't get much money after we searched it?" Dong Zhuo asked angrily.
"Yes, yes, yes, yes." Guo Yan said with some fear.
Dong Zhuo was about to be angry, but Li Ru on the side came out and said: "Father-in-law, don't be angry, don't we have hundreds of properties, sell them, you can get a lot of money, and those treasures can also be sold for money." ”
Dong Zhuo was a lot less angry when he heard this, and asked Guo Yan to do it.
"Father-in-law, we now control Luoyang, and we also control the emperor, but the major families are very resistant to us, we should attract a group of people, so that we can gain a foothold in Luoyang." Li Ru suggested to Dong Zhuo.
"Okay, then you go and draw up a list, write any holy decrees yourself, and those who are willing to take refuge in us will be sealed to their high-ranking officials, and those who are not obedient, hmph, the old man will slowly clean them up."
After speaking, Dong Zhuo shook his sleeves and went to the harem again.
After entering the palace, Dong Zhuo was most happy that there were a large number of beauties in it for his lewd pleasure, and he had to change different women almost every night.
Dong Zhuo went to enjoy himself, and Li Ru began to operate, and he rewarded almost all the powerful people in Luoyang City and gave them high-ranking officials.
As a result, however, only a small number of people applied and the majority refused to serve.
Li Ru had expected this result a long time ago, so he would seal everyone again, which was also a way to test their attitude.
Ye Chen also received a holy decree to seal him the position of Jiuqing, this is a high-ranking official, and the third duke is Jiuqing.
"Hehe, Dong Zhuo is also interesting in the town, knowing that I am a big official and have the title of county marquis, he actually used Jiuqing to win me over."
Of course, the official should be higher than before, at least at the same level, so Li Ru gave Ye Chen an official of Jiuqing.
Ye Chen handed the holy decree to Zhang Qing and said: "Go and tell Dong Zhuo, saying that I, Ye Chen, am a martial artist, and more importantly, a businessman who likes to do business, this Jiuqing is really boring, and he is welcome to do more business with him." ”
Jiuqing has a high position and no power, so Ye Chen will not be so stupid.
Ye Chen was the only army in the entire Luoyang City that had not been absorbed, Dong Zhuo did not move him after entering Luoyang, and asked him to bring the original three thousand soldiers and horses, but he sent thousands of troops to be stationed around Ye Chen's camp, which was regarded as monitoring him.
Dong Zhuo will be so good to Ye Chen, or because the two families are actually working very closely at present, the Ye family sent a large amount of Du Kang wine and salt to Dong Zhuo, which made him rich, and purchased a large number of sophisticated weapons and equipment from Ye Chen, so the two families have this relationship, so Dong Zhuo did not move Ye Chen, but prepared a big reward.
After Ye Chen sent the news back, Li Ru listened to it, and then reported it to Dong Zhuo, Dong Zhuo was not angry, there were more people who opposed him, and Ye Chen had a bad reputation, even if he took refuge in Dong Zhuo, it would not be much good.
In addition, Dong Zhuo really seemed to think that Ye Chen was not interested in being a big official, and his favorite was business.
Speaking of business, Dong Zhuo sent Li Ru to contact Ye Chen, and he really planned to do business with him.
The next day, Li Ru came to visit.
"Priority student, let's meet again." Ye Chen pulled Li Ru and walked towards the prepared living room, where delicious dishes were already arranged.
"Haha, General Ye is still so polite, take the liberty to disturb and look at Haihan."
"It's funny, I should have gone down to visit Wen Xiansheng and Mrs. Dong, but you are all too busy to bother."
"General Ye can go at any time, and Mrs. Dong is also very concerned about General Ye."
"Okay, thank you Taishi Dong for your concern, when you are free, you will definitely come to visit."
The two touted each other for a long time before getting to the point.
"General Ye, there is another thing this time, that is, I have a large amount of real estate in my hands and want to sell it, I wonder if General Ye is interested?" Li Ru put down his wine glass and said to Ye Chen.
Li Ru knew that Dong Zhuo was short of money, so he wanted to find Ye Chen and sell those assets in his hand.
Ye Chen laughed in his heart, these were all sold by him, how could he still be interested.
What Li Ru didn't know was that when they entered Luoyang, there were several small disturbances, which were actually caused by Ye Chen.
On the same day, Ye Chen ransacked the mansion of the Ten Standing Servants, but he didn't take much of it, and these properties and the golden tickets of the Royal Money House were deliberately left for them.
Ye Chen sent people to ransack the mansions of Zhang Rang and others, and the first thing he took was the golden tickets issued by the four major commercial families, and these golden tickets could be exchanged for money.
Many people who buy officials will deposit all their money in the money bank and exchange it for golden tickets to buy officials, so there are a large number of golden tickets in the family of the ten permanent servants, these are Ye Chen's goals, among them, after the current Ye family's money bank, write down the amount, and then burn it.
Remember the amount, that is, how much money is in the Ye family's money bank, it will not be exchanged, and it can be taken out and used casually.
When Ye Chen heard Li Ru's words, he almost pointed at his nose and said, "I sold these properties, and I don't want them." ”
