Chapter 68: The Old Lady of the Liu Family

When Feng Manlou saw Yang Hongcai, he couldn't help but sigh, but saw Yang Hongcai's face haggard, listless, and preoccupied!

"Didn't you say okay, what happened that day, we acted for others to see, how could we be haggard like this?" Feng Manlou felt heartache for a while, and couldn't help but say.

Yang Hongcai just said lightly: "Self-inflicted!" I'm not that stingy! It's just that I've been more irritable in the past two days, and I want to discuss some things with you! ”

Feng Manlou said: "Yes, it's not too early to see this time, and it's going to be the New Year in a few months." By the way, the wedding date is almost here! Feng Manlou deliberately joked, observing Yang Hongcai's situation.

Although she said that she was not stingy, it was obvious that she was still angry, especially when she knew that she had rescued Xiao Xiangyue and brought it back, this is a typical little three, and it is also a bright raiser, so it's strange if you don't get angry!

Feng Manlou was about to say a few nice words to make her happy. But I heard Yang Hongcai say: "Recently, Qianzhuang's business has been on the right track, I want to control the amount of loans, and I want to open a branch in Yangzhou!" ”

"The most important thing in the business of the money bank is to have enough cash, not like Chase Bank, which is not enough cash and has been run out of business. If you go to Yangzhou, you must prepare some more cash! Feng Manlou said.

Yang Hongcai thought for a while and said, "I think so too, but I don't know how much is enough?" Now the cash is only a little more than 1 million, and at least 200,000 yuan must be left for cash withdrawal. ”

Feng Manlou said with a smile: "Now I finally know the benefits of asking you to issue small silver tickets, now you look at Yuhang, many people go to the street, and they no longer bring copper coins, but carry silver tickets from Huitong Money Bank." Those who sold things, took the silver ticket, and did not rush to exchange it, but used the silver ticket to buy things. In this way, Huitong's silver ticket is equivalent to the function of cash in Yuhang, do you know? ”

Yang Hongcai said: "That's what I'm worried about, we have more and more silver bills in circulation, but all the cash has been transferred, for fear that one day it will be run, and it will go bankrupt like Chase Bank!" ”

Feng Manlou said: "It doesn't matter, Yuhang's annual tax is about 800,000 yuan, and the market must ensure that 100,000 yuan of silver tickets are circulated." And now that the silver ticket has basically become a function of cash, then only 100,000 yuan should be able to deal with it. Of course, Yu Hang can no longer print silver tickets. There is an upper limit to the number of silver tickets that can be printed, not the more the better! ”

Feng Manlou was worried that Yang Hongcai would print silver bills uncontrollably and take them for loans, which would be equivalent to currency depreciation and price increases. The only way to do this is to print prices up.

The most important thing in the banking industry is credit, so we must not make the credit of the bank bankrupt, otherwise Huitong will really be finished. Feng Manlou didn't want his plan to go bankrupt so quickly.

Now it's time to tell Yang Hongcai these truths, Yang Hongcai really deserves to be from a merchant family, as soon as he heard this, he understood the trick, and said: "I know, Yuhang here, I will control it!" But Yangzhou must take the first step! ”

"You can make a long-term plan, such as how many branches you will open in a few months by the end of this year, and by the end of next spring, you will open branches in those state capitals," Feng Manlou said. Even in the next three years, five years, how many branches will be completed! Until the end, the entire Great Song Dynasty had a branch of Huitong Qianzhuang Bank! ”

When Yang Hongcai heard this, he was stunned and said: "If this is the case at that time, and the entire Great Song Dynasty uses our Huitong silver tickets, then isn't it, our Huitong Money Village is the first money village in the world?" ”

Feng Manlou said: "Of course! However, in order to achieve such a goal, more efforts must be put in, and maybe ten or eight years may not be successful! ”

Yang Hongcai's haggard eyes suddenly brightened, and said: "Don't worry, I will definitely work hard to achieve this goal as soon as possible!" It's just, where must I be busy? ”

Feng Manlou looked at Yang Hongcai and said distressedly: "That's it, I'll introduce you to someone to help you!" ”

Yang Hongcai was very surprised, now he actually wants to introduce people to help him, I don't know who it is?

In fact, Feng Manlou is not sure, when will Yang Hongcai let Datong Money Bank reach the point he said, if it really reaches that point, the entire Song Dynasty's coinage power is in the hands of Huitong Bank, which can basically play the role of international currency, and can also use currency wars to influence neighboring countries.

Yang Hongcai didn't wait long, and saw Xiaoyun come in with Xiao Xiangyue, Yang Hongcai was stunned, isn't this the leader of the Yangzhou Twenty-Four Bridge Oiran Competition! Looking at the windy building, a raging fire suddenly burned.

Feng Manlou pretended not to see it, and said: "You should have seen this little lady, it is the Mid-Autumn Festival, the head of the Oiran of the Twenty-four Bridges!" His name is Xiao Xiangyue. ”

Xiao Xiangyue greeted Yang Hongcai and said, "Su Xiangyue has seen the little lady of the Yang family!" ”

Yang Hongcai shook his eyes and asked, "Aren't you called Xiao Xiangyue?" How is the surname Sue? ”

Xiao Xiangyue said: "This name is another name for the little woman, and it is the nickname in the dust. The little woman's real surname is Su, and her name is Xiangyue. Since the rescue of the adult, she decided to be a good girl from now on, so she resumed her original name! ”

Feng Manlou was also stunned, and now I know that it is not your real name! Congratulations to Mrs. Su!

Yang Hongcai listened to Feng Manlou's words, and felt a little better. But I heard her ask, "If you ask her to help me, what does she know?" ”

Feng Manlou said: "Maybe Qian Zhuang's business doesn't know anything, but he is a person who values love and righteousness!" So, I told you what happened on the painting boat that day.

Yang Hongcai said: "I can't imagine that among the women in the dust, there are also such affectionate and righteous people!" ”

Feng Manlou said: "In this wind and dust, there are also people with deep affection, and there are red whisk girls in the distance, you must not know this." There is also a story called Du Shi Niang's angry sinking treasure chest, I'm afraid you haven't heard of it! ”

Yang Hongcai didn't say it, but she was thinking in her heart, when will there be another Du Shi Niang?

But when he heard Feng Manlou tell the story of Du Shi Niang's angry sinking of the hundred treasure chests, he sighed: "It seems that I am too biased!" ”

Feng Manlou saw that his goal had been achieved, Yang Hongcai seemed to have a heart, and he was secretly happy in his heart, this woman was too difficult to serve, and she didn't say anything in her heart.

"You can arrange her to study at Chase Bank for a while!" Feng Manlou said.

Yang Hongcai nodded, but she didn't know what Feng Manlou was planning in her heart!

Since the book of life and death is some account books for bribery, there will definitely be cash passing through the money bank, and arranging Su Xiang into it is the purpose of Feng Manlou to see if any clues can be found in it.

Feng Manlou is also anxious to find the book of life and death now, and he really wants to see the account book about himself above.

"Why do you always leave early and return late these two days?" Yang Hongcai asked.

Feng Manlou smiled: "Build the embankment!" You don't know, but I promised the two princes that I must build a dam that will not be broken for a hundred years! ”

Yang Hongcai was stunned for a moment and said, "It's not bad for a hundred years? How is this possible? If all of them are repaired with a whole stone, then 100,000 guan is not enough at all! ”

Feng Manlou asked, "That's why you have to prepare materials!" "The money has been deposited in Chase Bank, so Yang Hongcai also knows that Feng Manlou has already obtained the silver ticket for construction promotion.

The next day, Feng Manlou was about to call four guards to go to the mine outside the city, but he heard the drum outside the yamen, which was a signal that someone had reported the crime!

Feng Manlou hurriedly asked people to go out to take a look, but it was an old woman beating the drum and shouting grievances, this signal is very big, if usually, the county magistrate is not in the yamen, the county will take it, but now the officials of Yuhang have been killed, Feng Manlou hurriedly put on the official uniform, and rose up.

In order to show the benevolence of the imperial court, the imperial court stipulated that as soon as the drum sounded, the officials on duty must be promoted to the court to deal with the affairs of the people! Therefore, Feng Manlou does not dare to slack off!

The official brought the old woman in, and Feng Manlou asked, "Old man, what is the complaint?" ”

The old woman knelt down and kowtowed, and Feng Manlou secretly shouted in her heart! But at this time, it was difficult to express an opinion, so I had to say: "Old man, get up quickly!" ”

But the old woman said, "My lord, the women of the people have grievances, please call the shots!" But he didn't get up, for fear that he would come together, and Feng Manlou would ignore him.

Feng Manlou had no choice but to say: "What is the complaint, get up and talk about it, don't panic the old man!" ”

The old woman stood up slowly and said, "My lord, the folk woman is from Liujiaxiang in the city, and the old man who has passed away is surnamed Liu, and the neighbors call the folk woman Mrs. Liu!" The woman was widowed at a young age, and had a son under her knees, and only the year before last she married Qiuhua, the maid of Mrs. Wang's family outside the city. ”

Speaking of this, the old woman began to cry, and in just two sentences, she explained her miserable life experience, which really made everyone present secretly feel pitiful!

But I heard the old woman continue: "Who knows, last year, my son unfortunately fell ill and died, leaving only a woman and a one-year-old grandson, and a daughter-in-law Qiuhua!" Our family of three depends on each other, and the autumn flowers are often taken care of by Mrs. Wang, so they often come and go! ”

Speaking of which, everyone felt that this old woman was already extremely unlucky, her husband died, and she finally raised her son and married her daughter-in-law, and now her son is dead again, and her grandson is only two years old, which is really a hard life!

Feng Manlou thought that she had come to report her son's case, but she continued: "Just yesterday, the daughter-in-law of the folk woman said that she was going to Mrs. Wang's house to visit Mrs. Wang. Early this morning, the descendants of Mrs. Wang's family said that their daughter-in-law was killed in Wang's house last night! ”

Feng Manlou was stunned for a moment and asked, "Where is the corpse now?" ”

Mrs. Liu said: "It's still in Mrs. Wang's house!" Let the women come to report to the official and ask the master to help catch the murderer! ”

Feng Manlou was stunned, but there was no defendant, only the plaintiff! So he immediately ordered the three classes of officials, let Mrs. Liu take them, and went straight to Mrs. Wang's house outside the city!
