Chapter 164: Provocation
In the next few days, Zhu Changluo stayed quietly in the hall and did not go out, but except for the early deserted time, the hall was often filled with an endless stream of visitors, most of them were officials of the six departments, some of them really had affairs that Zhu Changluo needed, some were sent by various families to test Zhu Changluo's character, and some were purely curious to meet His Royal Highness the emperor's eldest son!
Anyway, according to the regulations, the prince is coming, and the visit is still required, even if you say a few words of greeting, you can't waste the etiquette, so Zhu Changluo has been busy dealing with them in the past few days. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Yesterday Chen Liangbi sent someone to deliver a letter saying that Zhao Shizhen and Li Shizhong's official positions have been approved in the capital, and now they have set off from the capital and are ready to come to Ping'an Mansion, but Zhu Changluo is a little regretful that the news of the palace governor has not yet been clarified, but there is good news that since the guard commander has been determined, it means that Zhu Changluo can take the palace guards away!
On this day, Zhu Changluo took Sun Ping back to the palace, but he couldn't help but smile on his face, I have to say that someone is easy to do, although Chen Liangbi allocated him only three thousand soldiers in the palace this time, but they are all young and middle-aged soldiers, there is no veteran oil, especially well-trained, it can be regarded as an elite soldier, not to mention anything else, it must be more than enough to protect the palace!
It's just that as soon as he entered the door, he found Zhang Sugong sitting on a chair with a rather ugly face, and hurriedly greeted Zhu Changluo when he came back.
"Your Highness......"
"Don't be in a hurry, speak slowly, but someone has dealt with Qian Zhuang?"
Zhu Changluo frowned slightly, but he pulled Zhang Sugong to sit down first, and then spoke.
But his heart is slightly tight, Zhang Sugong has always been very steady, and he is always unhurried when encountering problems, but this time even his can't calm down, it can be seen that things are by no means trivial!
"Yes, Your Highness, the situation is urgent, I will make a long story short, after going back a few days ago, I let out a rumor, saying that Henglong is the property of His Highness, and those people are indeed a lot of peace, and I gradually put my mind at ease, but I didn't expect them to be just temporarily dormant, this morning, several guys from Henglong did not come to Qianzhuang, and the account office did not come, and I found out that they were all arrested by the people of Ying Tianfu! The charges are different, some say it is theft, some say it is trouble, and now the money bank has no manpower! ”
Zhang Sugong calmed down slightly and said.
"And at the same time, the major money banks have issued a statement together, saying that Hang Lung has a bad reputation, and there is a suspicion of fraud, and under the crowd, old customers have come to ask for the silver to be taken away, but we are already understaffed, and some people deliberately spread the news, saying that Hang Lung's guys have been arrested by Ying Tianfu, and they are all people of bad character, so the customers are becoming more and more dissatisfied, and now a lot of the silver lent has not been recovered, if they want to take out all the silver, it will definitely not be enough, but if they are not allowed to take it, ......."
"That is, Henglong is greedy for their silver!"
Zhu Changluo's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said.
This is a very common routine, but I have to say that it is very useful, whether it is a money bank or a ticket number, or a bank in later generations, credit is its fundamental, once there is a credit crisis, it is not far from bankruptcy!
However, this time, the other party's methods were obviously more than a step higher than Zheng Chengen in the capital, and he was accurate and ruthless, first letting Ying Tianfu arrest people, then spreading news to mislead the people, and finally inciting them to take the silver, so that they could not only set themselves aside, but also let those Hang Lung's customers charge for them, and use knives to kill people with extreme ingenuity.
And more importantly, one ring after another, obviously trying to put Henglong to death!
"And now? What is the situation of Hang Lung now, and the silver can be withdrawn for them? ”
At such a moment, Zhu Changluo calmed down and asked.
"Naturally, I took it, thanks to my father's blessing, I still have some connections in Yingtianfu, and urgently asked for a few accounts and men from an uncle, and temporarily maintained the situation, all the people who came to withdraw the silver were allocated to them, but they said that they would transfer silver from the silver treasury, which temporarily delayed them, but if we still can't get the silver before tonight, then I'm afraid it will be seen by people!"
Zhang Sugong is very clear, there are only about sixty percent of all the silver deposits in the money bank now, and all the rest have been lent out, and it is strange that he relaxed his vigilance after seeing Zhu Changluo coming, but he didn't expect someone to suddenly come to such a hand, which caught him off guard.
"You did the right thing, if those people want to take it, let them take it, if you don't let them take it, it will seem that we are empty-hearted!"
It is better to block than to sparse, ordinary people encounter such a scene, I am afraid that the first thing that comes to mind is to temporarily close the door and drag the merchants who want to withdraw the silver, but for the money bank, once it is done, it is equivalent to saying that they have no silver, which will only lead to more serious consequences!
But it's not okay to take it all, not to mention that the money bank doesn't have so much silver at all, even if it does, it can't be given to it, otherwise the connections accumulated over so long will be in vain!
Zhang Sugong's urgent performance, although it is not excellent, is enough to satisfy Zhu Changluo!
"Your Highness, without further ado, let's go! Later, the money bank will not be able to hold on! ”
Looking at Zhu Changluo's frowning slightly, Zhang Sugong couldn't hold it anymore, you know, this is his hard work for several months, and if he delays any longer, he may go bankrupt!
However, Zhu Changluo was still motionless, and paused before speaking.
"Su Gong doesn't have to worry, I always feel that there is something wrong here, in this way, I will first send Sun Ping to hold my name to release the people detained by Ying Tianfu first, Qian Zhuang must be able to hold out for a while, you first take a team of palace guards, go to maintain order, and tell them that it is okay to take the silver, but if someone dares to take the opportunity to make trouble, directly arrest and send Ying Tianfu!"
This matter is not simple, until this moment Zhu Changluo still thinks so, he previously let people release the rumor that the money bank is his own industry, originally to test the attitude of the gang of relatives behind the major money banks, but the result was beyond his expectations, originally he thought that even if those people were unwilling to give up the interests of the money bank, they would at least inform him in advance.
But the fact is that the action against Qian Zhuang was swift and powerful, obviously menacing, and he looked endless, and he chose the time when he had just taken over the palace guards, which made Zhu Changluo feel a strong smell of conspiracy......
Just imagine, what is the first reaction of a person who has power in his hands after being provoked?
Of course, it's a fierce counterattack back!
Of course, Zhu Changluo knows that as long as he comes forward, the crisis of Qianzhuang can naturally be resolved, after all, in this era, there is something more deterrent than his identity as a prince, and those businessmen must be more obedient than cats when they see him, after all, Yingtianfu is just a transit place, and the real big businessmen will not stay here for a long time, and the people who deposit silver in Qianzhuang are all small and medium-sized businessmen, and these people definitely don't dare to be tough with him.
But is it really that simple?
If you take a step back, is there really such a dumbfounded, or deliberately troublemaker? According to normal logic, Zhu Changluo was so offended before, and now that someone is making trouble, his first reaction must be to arrest someone, after all, he has someone in his hands now!
It's a pity that Zhu Changluo keenly felt from the beginning that the other party's goal was probably to let himself go......
