"Well, what kind of bank is going to be established? According to Jiang, it is Qianzhuang! Hey, it's not just the central bank, there are also so many banks for industry and commerce, transportation, and construction, well, Qianzhuang, this ...... Literally, this is clearly a money bank with a different division of labor formed by different industries. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"

The rich old man took a closer look and couldn't help but be stunned!

The rich old man was reading the newspaper, and the family pushed the door in again, and said with a bow: "The second master, the uncle, the third master, the fifth master, and the black-bearded Chong Mingzhang and Qingshuiyan Ming'en have all arrived!" ”

As soon as the words fell, several men in their fifties and sixties wearing fur satin jackets entered the door and greeted the rich old man: "The head of the family, the brothers are here!" ”

The rich old man put down the newspaper in his hand, glanced up, and said, "Brothers from the Jiang family, I have gathered everyone today to discuss major matters related to the life and death of my Anfu Jiang family!" ”

Seeing that everyone looked at him in surprise, the rich old man explained: "Everyone knows that Changde Mansion has been occupied by Cantonese thieves some time ago, and at that time I proposed to prepare and sell some land, but you all think that the Cantonese thieves will not attack Anfu for the time being, and the court officers and soldiers will fight back, but now? Alas! ”

"Yesterday, I received reliable news from Guangdong, the puppet saint king of the Guangdong thief chief has issued an order to send troops to Yuezhou and Jingzhou, obviously, the Guangdong thief wants to conquer the entire Changde Mansion, Lizhou, Yuezhou Mansion and even Jingzhou Mansion, several state capitals, all of which are connected into a whole. And we Anfu, between Lizhou and Changde Mansion, the Cantonese thieves want to send troops to attack Jingzhou, and Lizhou and our Anfu will inevitably bear the brunt, and our Jiang family, which is a famous family, will inevitably attract the soldiers of the Cantonese thieves. Therefore, I, Jiang Ming, will say that this is related to the life and death of the Jiang family. Do you have a good solution? ”

Everyone looked at each other and was silent for a long time. The rich old man, the self-proclaimed Jiang Mingqian, the second in line, looked directly at the leader and said, "Brother Mingyun, you can talk about it first." ”

Ming Yun, who was ordered by the head of the family, had no choice but to speak up: "The Cantonese thieves are very strong, and the officers and soldiers of the court are losing and retreating, and they are powerless to resist at all. Even if our Jiang family hid in the city of Lizhou Prefecture, it would be useless. Unless you can give up all your land, ancestral houses and shops, and flee directly to the northern Central Plains, or to Jingshi, you can be safe. But in this way, all the houses of my Jiang family will suffer heavy losses. ”

When everyone heard what Ming Yun said, they all showed sad expressions.

The middle-aged man who ranked fifth also opened his mouth and chimed in: "What the eldest brother said is extremely true! The fourth brother is still an official in the Shaanxi Ru Daoist of the Henan River, and we are all the targets of those vicious Cantonese thieves who want to steal the family property, and it will definitely not work if we don't escape. But if we escape, we can't move away from our many fields, shops, and ancestral homes, and even if we sell them, it's too late. Otherwise, entrust which house to entrust first, let them stay, pretend to join the Cantonese thieves, even if they donate half of the family property, they can be regarded as keeping some family business, and they can keep as much as they can. When the imperial army comes back, fight again and redeem it. ”

When he said this, the two people who were called the third master and the master Mingen by the family also nodded and agreed.

The black-bearded old man in the corner of Mingzhang lowered his head, and with a sneering expression, he happened to be seen by the head of the family, Jiang Ming.

"Brother Mingzhangxian, you seem to have different opinions, let's talk about it, it's all a family, as long as it's good for our Jiang family, I won't blame you for saying good or wrong." The head of the family, Jiang Ming, stared at him and said slowly.

The person who is called Mingzhang is a little short, and his clothes are different from others, not fur, but just a cotton jacket woven of foreign cloth, which seems a little out of place with other people, but a pair of small but shining eyes, revealing a shrewdness.

Seeing that he was named by the head of the family, in desperation, this person named Jiang Mingzhang had no choice but to bow his hand to Jiang Mingqian and the others: "Then the little brother will tell me what he thinks." Brothers, why do you hate the Taiping Holy Kingdom so much, and even repeatedly follow the court to call them Cantonese thieves? Don't you just think that they are like those long-haired thieves of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, looting property everywhere, depriving the people and us urban and rural gentry of all their property, and robbing their homes and killing their heads? But in fact? ”

"In fact, the holy kingdom to the south has not confiscated the property of the gentry casually. The Xu family and the Zheng family in Guangzhou City have business dealings with our Jiang family, although they have much less industry than our Jiang family, but they are also a strong party, and there is a lot of family wealth, but they have all cleverly taken refuge in the Holy Country, only donated a small half of the family wealth, and now almost a year has passed, not well, and they have not confiscated the property, but the business is more prosperous. ”

"Therefore, the younger brother thinks that instead of pretending to take refuge as the fifth brother said, it is better for the whole family of our Jiang family to join the Holy Country, even if we donate half of the family property, we are still a rich family, the largest family in Lizhou, and after a few years of slow development, it will return to its current scale, if we can seize the opportunity, it may not even surpass." Jiang Mingzhang said a lot in one breath, so that everyone else in the room was blinded.

The person who was still in the top five was the first to react and angrily rebuked: "Ridiculous! Mingzhang, you want to kill the entire Jiang family, and fall into a catastrophe from which you will never recover! Have you ever thought that my fourth brother is still an official in the imperial court, how many of the entire Anfu Jiang clan are officials in the imperial court, I'm afraid there are no less than dozens, right? In our Wumeitang alone, there are forty-seven brothers and nephews in the second generation, and there are forty-seven people in my Qing Dynasty who have official positions, not to mention the entire Anfu Jiang family? If we, the main branch of the Anfu Jiang clan, surrender to the Cantonese thieves, I am afraid that we will be laughed to death by other side miscellaneous branches. ”

"Moreover, if you really surrender to the Cantonese thieves, you can't let them be at their mercy, who doesn't blush with such a big industry as my Jiang family? Can the Cantonese thief still hold back and not rob it? Even if the Cantonese thieves don't rob it, the imperial army will have to fight back sooner or later, and when the time comes, not only will all my Jiang family's property be confiscated, but we will also be held accountable for the great crime of conspiring against the nine clans. ”
