readx;?readx; Chapter 423 It is not the ancestors who owe debts, but those who dare not pay back the debts

The answer was basically true, and the attitude was quite sincere, Qin Lei threw out his first request: "Within three days, spit out the silver you ate again, and plug the basket, so that the Lone King can not hold you accountable, and he will not even let people know about your stain." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info "The implication is that this will be your handle, and I will hold it for a long time.

This is the proper meaning of the question, Xu Chang didn't think about it, so he agreed. As for whether it will be distressed, the **100,000 taels of silver, which has not yet been hot, is not within the scope of our consideration.

"You can only choose one of the government and the revival yamen, and I want your reply before the extraordinary meeting starts in three days." Qin Lei continued as he put on his shoes.

Xu Chang swallowed and foamed, nodded and said, "The old man knows." For this result, he had already prepared for it, and he didn't think that the prince would let him go so easily.

Sure enough, Qin Lei continued: "You prepare five million taels of silver, and take it out for me at the conference in three days," Seeing that Old Man Xu's face turned pale, he smiled slightly and said: "The Lonely King guarantees his own reputation, this is a deal that will benefit your ancestors and future generations." ”

Xu Chang's old face regained some blood at this time, and he trembled his lips and said, "I really can't take out those ......."

"You can borrow it, anywhere." Qin Lei smiled and said, "I heard that there is a 'Datong Money Village' that is good, can you try your luck......

Xu Chang finally couldn't help but roll his eyes, and said in his heart: "That Datong Qianzhuang was originally opened by you, why bother to take off your pants and fart, and do this extra move?" Last year, in the name of the palace of Longwei County, Qin Lei opened a money village in the two southern provinces, and named it 'Datong', which means the great harmony of the world. At present, there are more than 40 branches in the south, covering all 28 prefectures, and there are even two or three of them in such large prefectures as Xiangyang, Jingzhou, and Tangzhou. At that time, the Internet was extremely developed.

Qin Lei's money bank was guaranteed by the credit of the royal government and provided the people with the business of depositing and withdrawing large amounts of money. The most important thing is that with the notes issued by the bank, it can be withdrawn from all the branches in the two southern provinces without any fees.

This characteristic catered to the rapid economic recovery of the two provinces at that time, the characteristics of frequent exchanges of money and money, coupled with Qin Lei's high reputation, so that there was no imaginary resistance, the officials and gentry all held the mentality of giving it a try, and deposited a sum of money into Datong Bank, and then took it out from other prefectures, it was really fast and convenient, and safe and worry-free.

The first to fall in love with this money bank are the merchants who come and go, they are busy, although they are seeking wealth, but safety is the first thing. How many bandits who were interested in making money shook the boat to the center of the river, showed their snowflake knives, and said with an evil smile: "Ah! Do you want to eat knife-cut noodles or wontons? "Anyway, no matter what you eat, it's certain that you won't be able to see the sun the next day.

Therefore, the most important thing is safety, although this world is not called a war and chaos, but Maitreya wants to incarnate and become a hero who gathers in the mountains and forests, often haunts the four wildernesses, kills people and goods, seeks wealth and kills. So without a dart escort, no one dared to go on the road with a large sum of silver.

Now, all you have to do is put the money in the bank, exchange it for a silver ticket with a beautiful and intricate design, and hide it close to you. Walking on the road like this, who knows if you have money or not? When I got to the ground, I took out the printed silver ticket, and then I said the last black words, and I could withdraw the money and leave, which was really worry-free to go to my grandmother's house.

It is because of the time, place, and method that this money bank opened, and it has gained great reputation and excellent reputation in a very short period of time. Gradually, some people realized: 'I hide the money at home and attract thieves, it is better to deposit it directly into the ticket number, so how safe it is, anyway, the silver ticket is not afraid of losing it.' Because the withdrawal of Datong money has to go through five procedures, namely ticket inspection, seal inspection, signature inspection, and password inspection.

Again, and most importantly, there are no fees. In the eyes of the people in the south, it was just another great act of kindness by the prince.

Why not use this kind of free bodyguard? Therefore, the amount of silver deposited by 'Datong Money' is rising like a sesame seed blooming. In addition, it doesn't have any other business now, so the people in the south know that there is old nose money in Datong Bank.

But why did the prince do such a 'good deed'? This is not something that people can figure out at that time, it is not that they are not smart, but they are completely confused about the epoch-making invention of Qian Zhuang, which naturally limits their approach to the truth of things.

Qin Lei wants to use Datong Qianzhuang to firmly hold the economic lifeline of the south in his hands. For this purpose, he wanted to implement monetization in the south, so he resolutely abolished the land tax, which was mainly paid in kind, and asked the landlords and gentry to reduce interest and rent......

Although the main purpose of this is to restore people's livelihood, the deeper reason is to increase the prosperity of the people in the south, and in conjunction with a series of measures to encourage industry and commerce, so as to promote the development of business in the south.

Only when the business is developed, can monetization have the premise of existence, Qin Lei's money bank will also have the need to exist, and his subsequent series of actions will have a foundation to rely on.

Encouraging industry and commerce, encouraging the use of money instead of physical goods, and developing and expanding Datong money bank, although these three are progressive, can be carried out at the same time, promote each other and develop together.

As long as it can go according to plan, when Datong Qianzhuang truly plays its full function, it will become a catalyst for the prosperity of commerce in the south; a stabilizer of social stability; and Qin Lei's regulator to regulate the south. The effect is greater than anyone can imagine.

So now, let Old Man Xu open the second function of Datong Bank...... Let's take out the money! Speaking of which, this old man is miserable enough, borrowing the money from Qin Lei's money village to buy the bonds that Qin Lei wants to issue. It's really no different from a casino loan shark.

This can be regarded as another shackle that Qin Lei added to the Xu family.

After returning to Xiangyang City, Zhuo Wenzheng and his father were already waiting outside the post house, almost the same scene, Qin Lei repeated it again, but this time, he stepped on it with his shoes on. And Zhuo Wen's forehand was too fast, and he actually ate that thing.

Except for this innocuous accident, everything was normal.

The reason why Qin Lei had to take such painstaking efforts. It's because of how to deal with Xu Zhuo's two families, which is a problem, a rather tricky trouble. In addition to the extremely high reputation and influence of the two families in the south, the problem of the Xu family is that Xu Jixu Xu, who is in charge of military power, and the trouble of the Zhuo family is the old eunuch Zhuo beside the emperor.

History has proven that although eunuchs are not successful enough, they are more than enough to lose.

Therefore, after careful consideration, Qin Lei adopted the method of kidnapping...... He wanted to kidnap the Zhuo family and the Xu family in his chariot in exchange for the cooperation of the two Xu brothers and the old eunuch Zhuo, instead of confrontation.

The so-called 'kidnapping' is a metaphor of image, of course Qin Lei will not really tie up the people of the Zhuo family and the Xu family and put them in the Jingshan camp, he wants to use another method, this method is more civilized, but the effect is also immediate...... He asked the two to buy their own bonds......

Most of the property was exchanged for bonds to Qin Lei, and even in order to make this debt too big to have a slight, he asked the two families to smash the pot and sell iron, not to mention, but also to borrow money from the money of the money bank to buy bonds.

At that time, the two families will lend him five million taels, as long as Qin Lei is finished, or even not finished, as long as there is a grass chicken, the five million taels will be lost. In addition, don't forget, there is also the debt of Datong Bank, which is mortgaged by land and real estate, if the five million is soaked in soup, it will definitely not be able to repay the money of the bank.

Don't forget whose money is this? It's impossible to get rid of it. Therefore, the mortgaged real estate and land will all belong to other people's money. When the time comes, it will be empty-handed.

All in all, in short, from now on, he didn't believe that these two would dare to oppose him at that time.

Three days later, the Fuxing Yamen of Xiangyang Mansion convened a meeting on time. All 184 families will be present, and they will listen to the issues raised by the prince and discuss and vote on them.

Before the official content began, Qiao Yuanhe, the standing committee member of the council representing Qiao Zhuo's two families, stood up, cleared his throat and said, "There is something I want to inform you," he said and glanced at Zhuo Bingchen, who was sitting on the stage, and then saluted the prince, and then said in a deep voice: "The Zhuo family has officially submitted a notice to the council bureau and will transfer eighty percent of the right to speak under his name......"

Before the words fell, there was a buzz from the audience, obviously surprised. The councillors looked up at Old Man Zhuo one after another, not knowing why he was doing such a loss-making transaction. Who doesn't know that the south is recovering at a visible speed, and countless roads, bridges, canals, houses, etc., have sprung up on this hot land.

As the initiator of all this, as well as the actual owner, the status of the revival yamen has naturally risen, and the value of its assets has also increased several times. According to Datong Qianzhuang's estimates, the price of each right to speak has risen to 50,000 taels. The councillors generally thought that this figure was too conservative, and they generally agreed that the price was 70,000 to 80,000 taels per piece, which was still unmarketable......

Everyone believed that under the wise guidance of the prince, the south would continue to develop at a high speed, and it would not take a year or two for it to return to the pre-war level. Ten years later, it may become the richest region in the entire land of China. At that time, no one dares to say how much the price of a right to speak is worth, but the sky-high price is certain. So the councilors couldn't believe Old Man Zhuo's actions.

Zhuo Bingchen's heart was bleeding, but he had no choice but to stand up tremblingly and want to say something to everyone.

The audience suddenly quieted down, and the councilors all quietly looked at the old man Zhuo, who had been unparalleled in the past two years, only to hear him also salute the prince, and then coughed twice, before he said in a deep voice: "Lord, everyone, the reason why the Han family has this move is because the old man pondered that in addition to spending money outside, our revival yamen is also an institution that supervises the government. But everyone knows that my family Wen is the governor of Shanbei, and if the Han family still holds a lot of power, it will inevitably make people gossip......"

Taking a breath, the old man continued: "Besides, the prince has brought us a new way. At that time, the income will not necessarily be worse than that of the south. Therefore, the Han family decided to take out the 400 copies of the right to speak and cash them out and use them to support the prince's latest proposal. "Since you are ready to send an arrow, you might as well be happy and earn a good reputation.

Many people nodded frequently, and they were all moved by Old Man Zhuo's selfless behavior. But there are also those who understand in their hearts, and secretly said: "It is estimated that the prince will not allow his family's 'official mansion' and 'revival' to be ...... and big", so he aimed his eyes at the old man Qiao Qi Peiqiao to see how the father of the governor of Shannan would react.

Sure enough, Qiao Qipei, who had always looked solemn, also stood up and gave a deep salute to Qin Lei first, and Qin Lei also smiled and saluted him. The prince's move immediately caused everyone to be secretly stunned...... The prince just nodded to Old Man Zhuo, but he didn't return the courtesy.

I heard Qiao Qipei's voice say loudly: "Lord Wang and everyone, the dog Qiao Yuanshan has officially written to the imperial court and resigned as the governor of Shannan." In addition, the children of my Qiao family will not hold prefect or above positions in the southern government. ”

As soon as Old Man Qiao sat down, Xu Tancheng of the Xu family stood up, the old man of his family had a stroke, and his son leaned on the canal, not caring about going home. He happened to be at home, so he naturally took charge of the entire family business. He is worthy of being born as a provincial governor, and his ability is far greater than that of his dying father and hairless son. Under his skillful maneuvering and generosity, in less than a year, the reputation of the Xu family, which had fallen to the bottom, was almost restored to its original height, and no one dared to underestimate it.

The young and powerful head of the family also expressed his position, and their Xu family's choice was like the Qiao family, which was to give up their position in the government and preserve their right to speak in the revival of the yamen. The councillors all understood at this time, it turned out that the prince wanted to separate the two...... If you want this, you can't want that, and if you want that, you can't want this.

Not surprisingly, Xu Chang, the old man of the Xu family, also got up to express his position. Not surprisingly, he also made the same choice as Qiao's Xu family. After all, the moon is cloudy and sunny, and your family has served as the governor of this term, and the next one may have to be given to others, so it is better to stay in the fast-growing Fuxing Yamen, not only has a stable position, but also has a bright future.

The revival of the government cannot be both, so it becomes a rule that everyone must follow.

Many sober-minded councillors have already understood that they have all boarded the big ship of the prince, and they will be able to go wherever this ship will go in the future. And they believe that this young and outstanding prince will definitely succeed!

For this has been proven by the facts of the past, and it will be proven countless times in the days to come.

Therefore, when Qin Lei stood up and walked to the front of the stage, he was greeted by bursts of warm applause that lasted for a long time.

Qin Lei smiled and waved his hand, signaling Shi Dang to hang the huge drawings in the middle hall and pull the curtain on it with his own hands. A schematic diagram of the Grand Canal appeared in front of everyone's eyes.

Just as the public was staring at the drawing, Xu Tancheng's face changed.

Qin Lei said with a smile: "This is a map of the Grand Canal drawn by the palace, it is very fine, and the workmanship is meticulous, and it is very collectible, but the Lone King does not plan to sell it." Everyone was amused by the prince, only Xu Tancheng wanted to speak and stopped, obviously seeing something.

"Tancheng, what do you have to say?" Qin Lei said with a smile to the former owner of the South Canal.

Listening to the prince's name, Xu Tancheng hurriedly got up and said respectfully: "Back to the prince, this canal map is indeed unprecedentedly accurate, but the section of the North Canal seems to have bent a lot...... "It seems to have gone that way...... The waterway of the Jingshui River. ”

Qin Lei nodded with a smile and said, "It is worthy of being from the Canal family, and I can see the key to the problem at a glance." As he spoke, he concisely analyzed the current situation of the Grand Canal.

He took up a bamboo whip. Pointing to the bow-shaped waterway, he said in a deep voice: "Therefore, the dredging of the Grand Canal is urgent, beneficial to the country and the people, and this is the key to the management of the canal." ”

After speaking, he will tell the reasons for the abandonment of the Xiaoqing River: first, its waterway is extremely narrow and shallow, and the siltation is extremely serious, and there is almost no cure; Both, because of the narrowness of its waterways, it has long become a shackle restricting north-south shipping.

"Therefore, after the restoration of the old route of the Jingshui River, the shipping capacity of the Grand Canal will not be affected, but will increase." Qin Lei said loudly: "And what we have to do is...... Dredging the Jingshui River! ”
