Chapter 913: The Battle of Finance (Part II)-
Sometimes Song Qi can't help but sigh that the world is changeable. If it was placed a few decades ago, no matter how big the boss of the money bank was, he had to kneel when he saw himself, the second chief of the household department, but now he could negotiate on an equal footing, and he had to beg these gods of wealth in turn, lest they not buy the accounts of the imperial court.
However, Song Qi was not particularly worried, after all, the bank was for money, and it would not be beneficial to them if they offended the imperial court. Therefore, in Song Shilang's view, the current stalemate is just a greedy businessman who wants to fight for more interests.
Therefore, as soon as the negotiations took a long time, he fished for three days and dried his nets for two days, and was often absent from the negotiations. Song shì Lang didn't go to Tianshun Tower to stare at today, he was dealing with some things in the ministry, and he was about to take a break when he heard hurried footsteps outside.
Without a pass, the duty room mén was pushed away.
Song Qi is very important to official authority, and when he saw that the person who came was Zhao Yi, the director of the Shanxi Division who was negotiating in Tianshun Tower, he pulled down his face when he landed. But when he looked at Zhao Yi's pale face again, his heart thumped again.
"My lord," without waiting for him to ask, Zhao Yi said as if he was mourning: "The talk has collapsed." ”
"How is that possible?" Song Shilang almost poked the fire fold into his nostrils.
"The subordinates are chatting with them about the mushrooms, who knows that a messenger walked in halfway, saying that the order of the Shanghai General Number has arrived, and the accounts are not allowed to be audited, so I won't talk about it."
Song Qi must be like thunder, who knew that he just slowly lit the cigar, silently swallowing clouds and spitting out fog, making people unable to see the joy and anger on his face. After waiting for a while, he didn't see Song Qi speak, so he had to ask in a low voice, "My lord......"
"What else?"
"No, no."
"What are you doing here?" Song Qi said lightly.
"Subordinates retire......" Zhao Yi retreated in a gloomy manner.
After a long while, Song Qi snuffed out the cigar, got up and went to the Shangshu duty room, and reported the situation to Zhang Xueyan, the head of the household.
Zhang Xueyan didn't get angry, but said a little bitterly: "What do you want to do here?" ”
"Who knows the thoughts of those people in the southeast," Song Qi shook his head and said in a low voice: "But in the past few months, Dongchang has banned and destroyed hundreds of academies, newspapers, and bookstores in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Huguang, and Jiangxi, and arrested tens of thousands of scholars, scholars, and merchants. This is the mouthpiece of the Nine Families, can they not retaliate? ”
"You said that this is the Nine Masters giving the emperor an eye?" Zhang Xueyan Shen said: "With this method, I'm afraid that I want to steal the rice, right?" "The ancestral system of the national dynasty, Jiangsu and Zhejiang people are not allowed to be in the official household department, like Zhang Xueyan, Song Qi, Yang Junmin, and Qing Yi are all northerners, so there is some small pleasure of watching the fire from across the shore.
"yes, that's why I'm not sure." Song Qi said slowly: "What should we do next?" ”
"We can't do such a big thing." Zhang Xueyan's expression was a little weird and said: "You write a post and submit it, and let the emperor judge it." ”
Looking at Zhang Xueyan's expression, Song Qi's heart rose to realize that eighty percent of this guy is in Huilian, and he also has dry stocks. But the second brother don't laugh at the eldest brother, this is in his arms, but he is worried: "The ceremony of canonizing the two nobles is just around the corner, will this be a bone and an eye, will it annoy the emperor." ”
"If you're worried, I'll do it too." Zhang Xueyan knew what he thought, and said quite unhappily.
"It's better to call the Hon-an again." Song Qi laughed and said, "Doesn't the law blame the public?" ”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The canonization ceremony that Song Qi said was that the Wanli Emperor Jin Shufei Zheng was the concubine of De, and the talented Chang was the concubine of Shun, and the Ministry of Rites had already made the canonization treasure, but in order to make the favored NV people happy, Wanli insisted on holding a grand canonization ceremony. Under the emperor's inquiry, Qin Tianjian had already selected the auspicious day of the zodiac, and Wanli also personally finalized it, with the ministers Xu Wenbi and Zhu Yingzhen as the main envoys, and the cabinet ministers Shen Shixing and Wang Xilie as the deputy envoys.
This couldn't help but make the government and the opposition criticize, but Emperor Wanli turned a deaf ear, because this merry emperor, who had read countless NVs since he was sixteen years old, was actually in love...... The lucky NV who got the emperor's love was one of the nine concubines canonized in the eighth year of Wanli, and was named the Zheng family of the concubine.
When Zheng entered the palace, he was only fourteen years old, and his appearance was still very young, so it was naturally difficult to enter the eyes of Wanli, but the nv changed eighteen times, and the more he changed, the more he hooked the soul. At the banquet of Cining Palace on the Laba Festival, Wanli finally discovered the seduction of this NV, and turned around and entered the Lan Shu Palace where the Zheng family lived.
But love is not the same as monopolizing the emperor's pillow, Wanli is surrounded by Yingying Yanyan and countless beautiful NV, Zheng can become an indispensable NV person around the emperor, not only relying on beauty and meticulous service, these other NV people can give him. Zheng's can be a pet in the pepper room, and she has her own uniqueness...... From the inner prison to the concubine, they are all obedient in front of Wanli, but they maintain their fears and ulterior motives in their hearts. Even the Empress Dowager Li was also stuck to his identity, making the jiāo flow between mother and son more and more polite between the Empress Dowager and the emperor.
Everyone regarded Wanli as an emperor, but ignored that he was, after all, a young man with blood and ròu, impulsive and sentimental, arrogant and inferior. Whether it is wise and stupid, or really stupid, the Zheng family has no scruples in front of Wanli, dares to ** and ridicule the emperor, in short, does not regard him as the Ninety-Five Supreme, but treats him with a natural attitude.
For example, when she saw Wanli hesitating and in a dilemma, she dared to taunt him: 'Your Majesty, you are really an old lady' Wanli not only did not blame her for her rudeness, but felt unprecedented happiness.
On this morning, Emperor Wanli took her to Dongnuan Pavilion to deal with government affairs. The life of Shengge night after night hollowed out the emperor's young body, and after just sitting for a while, he felt uncomfortable, so he quickly lit a 'cigarette' with ingredients, and Zheng Shufei massaged herself.
Concubine Zheng Shu asked while róu: "Your Majesty, do you think the concubines are heavy?" ”
"You can push a little harder." Wanli swallowed the clouds and spit out the fog, closed his eyes and enjoyed: "I feel much more comfortable." ”
"Tell the emperor something happy." Concubine Zheng Shufei stepped up on the one hand, and said to Zhang Cheng, the eunuch on duty today.
"Your Majesty, the children have raided their homes in the southeastern provinces, and they have obtained countless treasures, more than 1 million taels of gold and silver, and they have been sent to the capital." Zhang Cheng said with a smile. In fact, Dongchang dug three feet into the ground, and the looted money was not more than 10 million, and the money that could be sent to the emperor was not even one-tenth, and the rest were divided among the eunuchs at the level of the stolen goods.
But the emperor who was in the drum was already overjoyed, and suddenly came to the god of jīng: "The old rich people in the southeast, there are really goods" After a pause, Wanli said tightly: "All this money should be put into the inner treasury, don't let the foreign ministers know, otherwise I will not be able to shirk it." "Since the year before last, the two major projects of repairing the side wall and building the Shou Palace, like a bottomless dòng, devoured the treasury of the Ming Dynasty. The ministers had long asked the emperor to subsidize it from the internal funds, but the stingy Wanli was willing to pay this money, and tightened his money bag like a thief.
Seeing Wanli's smile on his face, he was happier than the kind of 'cigarette' he had, Concubine Zheng Shufei said: "Good girl, I heard that there is silver, and the emperor will immediately have no máo illness." ”
"Huh." Wanli smiled: "Aifei, do you know which three smells I like to smell the most?" ”
"The concubine doesn't know." Concubine Zheng shook her head and said.
Wanli picked up her white and tender soft wattle and took a deep breath, and said with a smile: "The smell of NV people, the smell of cigarettes, and the smell of silver." ”
"The first two are easy to say, but what does silver smell like?" Concubine Zheng Shufei picked up the sterling silver spoon on the table, put it in front of her nose and sniffed: "There is no smell at all." ”
"You NV people don't feel the smell of wine." Wanli shook his head and said proudly: "The only way to solve your worries is Kong Fang." There is nothing more beautiful in this world than silver. ”
Concubine Zheng Shufei said with a smile: "The concubine feels that there are still some." ”
"What?"
"Gold." Concubine Zheng said coquettishly.
"Oh......" Wanli laughed when he heard this: "Yes, yes, silver can't compare to gold." Saying that, he hugged Concubine Zheng Shufei's slender waist and said, "Beauty, why are you so smart?" ”
"I've been with the emperor for a long time." Concubine Zheng Shufei also laughed huāzhi luàn trembling.
The eunuchs and palace NVs looked at each other's noses and noses, but they inevitably secretly sympathized with Wanli: 'It is said that NV is afraid of marrying the wrong man, why is this not the case for men? ’
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
After laughing for a while, Wanli felt much more comfortable, and said to Zhang Cheng: "If you have any worries, let's talk about it while I'm happy." ”
"Yes." Zhang Cheng picked up a notebook and said: "The household department said that Huilian stopped negotiating the national debt, and threatened not to contact the imperial court again until they were allowed to check the accounts. ”
"......" Wanli took it with his hand, looked at the chapter, and scolded when he looked at it: "Kicking your nose and putting it in your face, you really think that being rich is an uncle?" Shameless, don't you think I can't help them" so angry that he slammed the notebook on the ground, and said: "I won't pay back this account, but I want to see what they do"
When the king of a country said such scoundrel words, Concubine Zheng Shufei blushed for him: "Your Majesty, it's not good for your reputation if it spreads." ”
"Well...... "Although for Wanli, it is a very pleasant thing to be able to lay down eight million taels of silver. But if you don't even lose your face, it's even more perfect: "What do you mean by Aifei?" ”
"The emperor has to take care of it." Concubine Zheng Shu thought seriously: "The queen's sister taught her concubines, saying that it is not pleasing to the eyes of the slaves, and you can't attack on the spot, otherwise people will look down on you, and you should find a mistake later......
"Don't learn badly from her." Wanli frowned and said, "But there is truth to this. After thinking about it, he asked Zhang Chengdao: "A few days ago, I remember that Cheng Shouxun and they all complained in the secret music, saying that the Huilian number has no king's law, and protects the evil of jiān?" ”
"That's the thing." Zhang Cheng said: "Last year, Cheng Shouxun arrested a few Hui merchants and demanded that Huilian Jiāo sell their property, and the answer he received was: 'We will not give the entrusted financial jiāo to anyone without the permission of the client.'" Later, the family members of the Hui merchants asked the Huilian number Jiāo to give out their wealth in order to redeem them, and they actually received the same answer. ”
"Conceal stolen goods and treat them as accomplices" Wan Li sneered: "This crime is enough" said and took a deep breath and said: "Huilian, you are the richest man in the world." ”
"Definitely." Zhang Cheng nodded and said: "They have at least more than 2,000 mén stores in Daming, and almost eighty percent of the rich merchants and people in the world take care of their property, and they use the money to lend and invest in all walks of life, and it is said that there are hundreds of millions of taels of net profit a year." ”
"Hundreds of millions of taels?" Wanli's eyes glared out: "It's a hundred times that of me?" Suddenly, his heart beat hundreds of times faster, and he couldn't help muttering: "If I get it, I won't have to worry about money in my life."
"It's too difficult." Zhang Cheng had to remind the emperor: "The princes of the Manchu Dynasty, the princes and nobles, and the wealthy merchants are all their customers, and I am afraid that the world will be big." ”
"I'm not robbing them of their money." Wanli shook his head and said, "Actually, I have long thought that opening a bank is the most profitable. So why don't you open a royal bank and let me reap the benefits of the world?"
"Your Majesty, if this bank was easy to open, it would have been all over the place a long time ago." This time it was Zhang Cheng's turn to widen his eyes: "Can we have fun?" ”
"Isn't there still Sunrise?" Wanli really had a premeditated plan, and said with a slight smugness: "Zhang Siwei is good to me, I gave him this great benefit, let Rishenglong become a royal bank, and then I will become a shareholder with Huilian, so that I can not only stabilize customers, but also enjoy huge profits, Rishenglong has also become a monopoly, don't worry about them not agreeing." Saying that, Gu Pan Zixiong said, "How about this idea of mine?" ”
"The concubine thinks that the concubine is very good," Concubine Zheng Shu agreed: "At that time, the emperor can divide the concubine's shares." ”
"Yours are indispensable." Wanli smiled dotingly, then stopped asking for advice, and ordered: "Summons Yang Junmin to meet him." "Yang Junmin is the son of Yang Bo and the core figure of the Jin Party in the DPRK.
"The slave and maid think, absolutely not." Zhang Cheng was also moved by the grand idea of annexing the Huilian, he knew that the opportunity was fleeting, if he didn't seize it, the power in charge of the Huilian in the future would fall into the hands of others, so his attitude immediately said positively: "The emperor should come to a quick knife to cut Luàn hemp." Otherwise, if the news leaks, we will be very passive, so it is better to seal the Huilian account first, and then slowly talk to Sunrise Long. ”
"Makes sense." Concubine Zheng Shu nodded.
"Whoever you say makes sense." Wanli scolded with a smile and said to Zhang Cheng: "Just do as you say, you will take the lead in this matter, and let Sun Hai cooperate with you." ”
"The slave obeys." Zhang Cheng's heart is full of anger.
