Chapter 540: Freedom of Movement (3)
The people have always been coaxing, but they have never been accustomed to democracy, at this time tens of thousands of people have to nominate their own representatives, obviously it is too difficult for everyone, disputes and concessions have become a classic repertoire that has been staged for nearly two quarters of an hour, the so-called representatives are still difficult to give birth, the whole scene is chaotic and noisy, shaking people's eardrums painful, but Hongqing does not mind at all, always standing with a smile.
"The grass people are waiting to see the prince!"
After arguing and shouting for more than half an hour, more than a dozen deputies were finally pushed out by the public, led by Chen Shunchang, who had the highest prestige, nervously passed the cordon of the soldiers, came to Hongqing, and all knelt on the ground.
"Excuse me, please calm down."
Although he waited for so long, Hongqing was not impatient at all, raised his hand with a smile, and called out very kindly.
"The grass people are waiting for the prince Longen."
Maybe Hongqing has always appeared in front of everyone with a kind face, Chen Shunchang and the others did not seem too afraid, and after thanking them respectfully, they just stood up straight, but they didn't dare to ask questions easily for a while, and the atmosphere couldn't help but be a little dull.
"If you have any questions, you will ask them one by one, but what the king can answer will not disappoint you."
Hongqing smiled softly, waved his hand, and commanded gently.
"The prince treats people so leniently, which really makes the old man and others admire, he shouldn't bother the prince again, but the old man and others are entrusted by everyone, but they have to disturb the prince, if there is an offense, please ask the prince to forgive the crime."
As soon as Hongqing said this, the faces of more than a dozen deputies couldn't help but become a little unnatural, and after looking at each other, Chen Shunchang, as the chief representative, came forward to accuse him.
"It's okay, Mr. Chen has any questions, just ask."
Hongqing waved his hand very generously and replied with a smile.
"Well, the little old man is presumptuous, the prince has said that he has transferred 800,000 taels of silver, and I can withdraw it at any time after three days, and I don't know if it's true? In addition, if we withdraw cash, what is the percentage and what fees do I have to pay? ”
Hearing Hongqing's words, Chen Shunchang's old face immediately turned red, obviously feeling that it was inappropriate to doubt Hongqing's sincerity, but it was a matter of his life, Chen Shunchang didn't want to miss this good opportunity to find out the intentions of the imperial court, and after pondering for a while, he still asked like a cannon.
"Mr. Chen asked well, what this king said relayed the order of the saint, there is no half a sentence, as for the withdrawal ratio, there is no limit, as long as there is a voucher in hand, how much can be withdrawn, if the 800,000 taels of silver is not enough, this king promises to readjust from the Shanxi treasury silver, to ensure that all those who want to withdraw can return satisfied, of course, you and the" Sunrise Money Bank "made all the agreements as before, early withdrawal, how much fee proportion should be deducted, all according to the contract implementation, Mr. Chen still has any questions?"
Chen Shunchang asked questions quickly and quickly, but Hongqing did not have the slightest impatience, and answered all the questions one by one in a slow and methodical manner.
"That's good, that's good, hehe, the old man has more mouths, and I don't know if there are any new measures after the opening of the 'Industrial and Commercial Bank of China'?"
Since the money that exists in the "Sunrise Bank" can be guaranteed to be recovered, Chen Shunchang has also felt at ease, but at the same time, his curiosity about the soon-to-open "Industrial and Commercial Bank" has risen again, and after obviously hesitating for a while, he smiled awkwardly and asked again tentatively.
"Mr. Chen's question, this king is not easy to answer, not that this king is unwilling to say, but this king is not clear, what is the matter, you have to wait for the people sent by the 'Eight Banners Firm' to negotiate with the 'Sunrise Money', before there is a result, however, there is a piece of this king can be guaranteed, that is, the original business of the 'Sunrise Money' will not change, and there will be a lot of measures to facilitate the people and business, if Mr. Chen does not believe it, and wait to see it, this matter will not be delayed for too long, and there will be eyebrows within a month."
As soon as he heard Chen Shunchang's question, Hongqing couldn't help laughing, shook his head slightly, and explained sincerely.
"I see, then the old decay will wait and see, thank you for the prince's solution, the old decay has no questions."
Chen Shunchang originally planned to withdraw all the money stored in the "Sunrise Money Village", but when he heard Hongqing's explanation, his mind couldn't help but waver again, but he didn't show it, he just saluted respectfully, thanked him, and then stepped aside.
"Lord Wang, the grass people are Sun Fushun, the shopkeeper of 'Wang Ji Porcelain Shop', and he is entrusted by everyone, and there are a few questions I want to ask Wang Ye to solve one or two doubts on his behalf."
As soon as Chen Shunchang stepped back, a rich middle-aged fat man immediately snatched him out from the side, bowed to Hongqing is face with a sneer, and talked about it without saying anything.
"Shopkeeper Sun has any questions, so I'll ask, and this king will listen."
Sun Fushun's self-righteous drops were really a bit nondescript, but Hongqing didn't mind, but seeing that he smiled and raised his hand, he gave a gentle command.
"Lord, the grass people's silver is the existence of the 'Hui Deposit Bank', and now, the money village has also been closed, the grass people and others are looking for Xiao Shopkeeper can not be obtained, helpless, and have to come here to find justice, now the 'Sunrise Money Village' has a result, but the grass people still don't know when they will be able to get back the deposited silver, and ask the prince to make decisions for the grass people."
Hearing Hongqing's words, Sun Fushun's eyes turned red, and he cried out.
"Shopkeeper Sun, please rest assured, this king will be the master of this matter, but now the whereabouts of the shopkeeper Xiao of the 'Hui Deposit Bank' are unknown, and the king is also quite embarrassed, so well, this king immediately asked the governor Yamen to make an announcement, search for this person, if he has not appeared within ten days, this king will order to seal his money and family business, and auction it all together, and the proceeds should be paid to the deposit of the bank, and you will not suffer a loss."
Xiao Lufeng, the boss of the "Hui Deposit Bank", is a person from the side of the Eighth Master, and he is now hiding in the mansion of the Shanxi Domain, Hongqing has long known this, the reason why he does not move is not that he does not want to move, but to wait for the opportunity, and now, there are tens of thousands of creditors surrounding the governor's yamen to petition, the fire has obviously arrived, Hongqing will not be very polite to Xiao Lufeng, through Sun Fushun's words, it is clear that he wants to put the "Hui Deposit Bank" to death.
"The prince said so, the grass people have no reason to worry, it's just that time ......"
Maybe it was because he saw that Hongqing was easy to speak, Sun Fushun really had the heart of Longwangshu, and tried in vain to get more benefits from Hongqing, but before he finished speaking, he suddenly saw Hongqing's body suddenly become angry, and then he realized that the master in front of him was not an ordinary official, but a famous "officialdom butcher", and he couldn't help but shudder, and the non-dividing thoughts that had not yet been exported instantly came to naught, and he didn't dare to say more, so he hurriedly retreated to the side.
"Wang, Wangye, Zhang Daquan, the shopkeeper of the Caomin Liaocheng 'Wancheng Firm', saved 100,000 taels in the 'Heshun Qianzhuang', and now the 'Heshun Qianzhuang' has been closed for a long time, and the grass people have no way to ask for help.
The sudden burst of evil qi from Hongqing's body not only frightened Sun Fushun, but also made several representatives who were about to move on the side stunned, and after a long period of dead silence, a middle-aged man squeezed out sweating profusely, and begged for permission with a trembling voice.
"This king has already known about this matter, and he has written to the governor of Shandong Yamen a few days ago, and when he supervises it, when the shopkeeper Zhang returns to Shandong, the matter may also have some results."
Shandong Jinan Mansion's "Heshun Money Village" is not large, only ranked at the end of the six major money villages, but the business situation is still good, the reason why it will close its doors this time is completely caused by the financial tide, it itself is not a big deal, but the news of the "Sunrise Money Village" to be solved was transmitted back to Shandong, "Heshun Money Village" can almost open the door to operate, this point, Hongqing has already passed the "Kirin Firm" Shandong branch investigation clear, I don't need to bother with this money bank, but, Hongqing didn't intend to break the mystery inside, but gave Zhang Daquan an explanation in an affirmative tone.
"That's good, that's good, the grass people will rush back immediately, I hope everything will go well, the grass people won't bother the prince much, and the grass people will retire."
Hearing Hongqing say so sure, Zhang Daquan has no reason to believe it, relieved, and his heart is also up, after bowing and saluting, he hurriedly went outside, he didn't care about it, Chen Shunchang and others didn't dare to stay longer, they asked Hongqing to resign, turned back to the petitioners, and told the people gathered outside the cordon of the proceeds of the negotiation with Hongqing, but listening to the cheers, tens of thousands of people have dispersed as birds and beasts, and a civil uprising has come to an end.
"Lord Wang, the matter is over, please come in and rest."
Seeing that the people gathered outside the yamen dispersed, Li Quan, who had always followed behind Hongqing, finally felt at ease, and after secretly letting out a sigh, he came to Hongqing's side with a smile on his face, and asked for a word of advice flatteringly.
"Hmm."
After a busy morning, Hongqing was indeed very tired, and he would not be hypocritical, nodded in response, and was about to turn around and go to the yamen, but before Hongqing turned around completely, he heard a loud sound of horses' hooves, and a group of people and horses were hurrying towards the governor's yamen......
