"Bastard! What the hell is this, don't borrow foreign debts, don't apportionment places, do you want us to use our own money to save Songjiang? Is there such a rule in the world? Even if the people of Songjiang starve to death, what does it have to do with me. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 infoI'm not going to do this, let's go back to Shandong, no matter what. Matsue loves it as it is, and it has nothing to do with us. ”

After seeing the telegram, the first person to be angry was not Zhao Guanhou, but Yuqing, who angrily crumpled the telegram into a ball and threw it away. Even if she was a nobleman, but after seeing the malice in this telegram, she also showed complete despair for this court.

"Wanyan's family was ruined by such a group of people. How far has it been, and you still want to trap people and harm people, and if you do this, this country will never get better! Cai Huang, figure it out for yourself. We helped you raise a million foreign debts, which is worthy of the friendship of the same family, and the rest of the matter, no matter what, I and I want to go back to Shandong. ”

Zhao Guanhou made a gesture of Shao'an and impatience, "Don't worry, Cai Dao is just sending a telegram, you can't do this." In fact, this telegram is very good, first of all, Cheng Quande is no longer in Songjiang, he and Cai Daotai have a lot of discord, after coming, there will be friction between the two, and things can't be done. Secondly, let me have full discretion, at least let my hands and feet go, this errand will be easier to do. Compared with the silver, I am actually more worried that the imperial court will send a big official down to point fingers and hinder everywhere, which is really powerless. ”

Cai Huang At this time, he was most afraid that Zhao Guanhou would really throw his hands away, and after returning to Shandong, there were tens of thousands of elite soldiers in hand, and he might not be heavily responsible, but he was responsible for defending the land and not leaving for a moment. As soon as he leaves, the burden of 10,000 catties falls on his head, and Cheng Quande will have to enter Songjiang, and at that time, it will be a crisis. Hurriedly responded:

"Senior brother, don't worry, this is impossible. I will fight on the basis of reason, and I will not let anyone interfere with your decision. It's just that now the market has been bad, and the lower officials have prepared 3 million surplus silver from the official treasury, and then borrowed 3.5 million taels of silver, a total of 6.5 million taels, to stabilize the market first. Make sure that there is money in the bank to withdraw. As long as the money does not fall, the market will be stable, and the situation will not be too bad. ”

"Cai Dao is confident, which is naturally a good thing. But have you read this will, and you have not mentioned a word about your proposal for Daikin Bank to pay Gengzi compensation on behalf of Gengzi. In my opinion, this generation of mats may not be accurate. You have to think about it, if the court asks for the full amount of compensation at that time, Cai Daotai should not be in a hurry. ”

Cai Huang shook his head and said, "The imperial court won't be like this, right?" This...... It's a matter of human life. If these two million are mentioned, our Songjiang market will really be irretrievable. ”

The indemnity of 2 million Gengzi was collected by the provinces and transferred to Songjiang, waiting for allocation. However, due to the long intermediate period, the Ministry of Commerce proposed that the silver could be stored in the Yin Shi Money Bank to earn interest before it was paid to foreigners. These two million official funds are now stored in the leader of the southern bank, the money village of the Yan family.

In this stock turmoil, Yan's suffered heavy losses, and Deyuan Qianzhuang was unable to make money, so it relied on Yuanfengrun blood transfusion to barely maintain. Now what the money bank needs most is a position, once the emergency allocation of two million taels, the source of abundant funds will be exhausted, and it will go bankrupt in an instant.

It is the leader of Songjiang and even South China's money bank, and it is not a problem of a money bank. But I don't know how many businesses, factories, and people have lost all the money in them. Not only is the market unstable, but I am afraid that even people's hearts will have to change.

And Songjiang Qianzhuang is a chain boat this time, once the largest ship is overturned, the boat should not think that it can be spared, and then the entire Songjiang Qianzhuang industry will inevitably be implicated, even if it is not all in one net, there is not much left.

Cai Huang thought about it, this matter is not fine, Songjiang's financial industry collapsed, and the entire financial system of Daikin was torn apart. No matter how the princes of the court and the central government behave, they will not commit such foolish acts. But Zhao Guanhou shook his head and said: "What I'm afraid of is that the princes of the imperial court are far above the nine folds, and they don't know the practices below, and they don't know how bad our situation is." In the last chapter of Brother Cai, the situation should be said to be a little worse, but now, it will be difficult to handle. ”

Of course, Cai Huang can't be carried by this pot, he wrote the environment too badly, and as a herdsman official, he has to bear the responsibility for failing to investigate. It is difficult to ensure the market in the face of the crisis, but also to protect himself in the imperial court, the law of both worlds is already difficult, and Cai Huang can only give up Songjiang to protect himself, which is also reasonable.

The more he listened, the more he felt that the situation was critical, and that the original 6.5 million li was counted as these two million. The so-called three million Guan Ku is actually only one million silver, and the other two million are this ghost money. Now that the two million are not issued, the imperial court will take away another two million, one in and one out, and four million taels of silver will be swept away, leaving only two and a half million, which is not enough to cope with the market flow.

I had to ask, "Lord Zhao, what should you do in your opinion?" ”

"What else can I do? Of course, I will help you transport a sum of silver from Shandong first, and you can write an IOU to me, and wait for the money from Songjiang in the future to repay my debts. Who let me be unlucky, I was named a general by the imperial court, otherwise, how can I be called a minister plenipotentiary? ”

Cai Huang was overjoyed, and wanted to kneel for the second time, but was stopped by Zhao Guanhou, "It is useless to kneel, now we are thinking about solving the problem." It is not so simple for my Shandong silver to be transported. At present, we must first discuss with Warbi Bank, go through the procedures, let them pay in advance, and then return the silver. But if there is any accident along the way, it is difficult to say, you have to ensure that my silver road is unblocked. In terms of returning, there is also a procedure, so that I will not be able to receive the money in the future and will not be able to explain in official affairs. ”

"This is easy to do, I will take the train to Nanjing, ask the governor of Liangjiang to send an official business down, as soon as the silver goes out of Shandong, along the way to ensure that there are officials and soldiers to send a navy to protect it, so that the silver and two will not go wrong. In terms of procedures, it is still borrowed in the name of the government, and even if the lower officials are dismissed, the new officials have to recognize this account, and raise funds from the customs duties in Songjiang to return them, and they will definitely not suffer from the debt. ”

"There are two of these things, and it is half in advance. The other half is a question of who we save. There are so many money houses in Songjiang, we will save them, and we will definitely not be able to save them. To put it mildly, why do you have to have a group of people die, now it's a bowl of rice to save ten people, and if you want to save it, you will starve to death. With the heart of starving to death first, there will be a few living people left in the end. As for who to save and who not to save, I am not very familiar with the local situation, so it is difficult to make up my mind. Cai Dao, you come and set a list for me, let's discuss it together and see if this should be given to him. Our principle is that only those who can repay can borrow. If he is destined to eat the debt, he has to die, after all, he is using the people's fat and people's ointment of the people of Shandong, and he can't just put it in random and take the people's money to harm. ”

At this time, Cai Huang had no room for bargaining, so he had to nod his head, and then said goodbye and prepared to go to Nanjing to ask for business. Zhou Baoru, Cai Huang, president of the Chamber of Commerce, and even the leaders of the two money industries of Yishanyuan and Yuanfengrun, are not exempt.

Yuqing said: "This court is so confused, I don't think you should help them with this, just let the market in Songjiang go down, and see who is in a hurry when the time comes." The public funds of the degree branch are said to make money in the stock market, and this time they are sturdy, and I will see what they will do with Shandong. ”

"Not only the public funds of the branch, but if our accounts are cleared correctly, the military expenses of the War Department, and even the internal funds of the Inner Court, have the shadow of making profits in Songjiang. They may not be directly involved in stock speculation, but they all have interest in the bank, and they will all suffer. In a short period of time, the imperial court has lost the ability to dispatch troops, which is unprecedented good news for Ge Ming's party. ”

"I don't know, Ge Ming's party's money, maybe it's here, everyone can't do it, it's the same loss." Cuiyu said a word on the side, making Zhao Guanhou laugh. Jiang Fengzhi has no talent for such things, and she can't do it because she feels powerful, so she is in a hurry. Zou Xiurong pulled her, "Sister, there is something, you can help." You can do things and have a good heart, help me run a porridge field. ”

"Porridge field?"

"Yes, the buyers and sellers have eaten the debt, lost the stocks, and went bankrupt. Isn't it worse for them to be partners and workers? Wages were deducted, there was nowhere to ask for it, and the opportunity to work was lost, and there was no way to eat. I think that by setting up a porridge farm in Songjiang and giving food to these people who can't eat, at least there will be fewer people who are starving to death. ”

Zhao Guanhou nodded and said: "Second sister-in-law, this is a good idea, Feng Zhi, you like Zhang Luoshi, you are here to help with this matter." In terms of silver, I'll figure it out, and in terms of rice and grain, I'll go talk to foreigners. ”

He controls a large amount of money in his hands, but the wheat is stored in the foreigner's bank, and how to withdraw it has to be washed into a clear and clear way, which is quite laborious. One of the advantages of being the minister of the general office this time is that he can set up a money bank, and all the money can be used as Shandong's funds after all the money is laundered.

Things like opening a porridge field can not only gain a good reputation in Songjiang Huajie, but also help you bleaching your money, so why not. The donation is the most difficult to trace, and when the time comes, there will be a large amount of silver to settle down.

In the Ministry of Industry Bureau in the concession, not enough attention has been paid to Mai Bian's disappearance. The consuls of Albion and Prussia had thought about looking for someone, but Benjamin's attitude was not positive, and they stopped chasing him. Anyway, Mai Bian originally showed the unlimited guarantee certificate provided by Wall Street, and if there is any problem, it is impossible to find the heads of the two countries.

What they are worried about now is actually the refugee problem. In this economic turmoil, I don't know how many bankrupts will be created, and these people will often choose to use violent means to obtain income when they have no way out. What they do in the Chinese realm has nothing to do with them, but once they rush to the concession, it will be a big problem.

Because of the stock incident, the morale of the concession police detectives is low, and it is a false story to maintain law and order on the ground, and once the refugees pour in on a large scale, there will inevitably be a big mess. Although there were soldiers in the concession, the number was insufficient after all, and it was difficult to ensure safety. On the one hand, he sent a telegram to the Albiang fleet on the Yangtze River, hoping to send troops to protect it, and on the other hand, Zhao Guanhou's idea of opening a porridge field and giving food to the common people was very appetizing to them.

Foreign businessmen can handle grain matters, as long as there is money, there will be rice grain. In terms of price, due to the note from the foreign consul, it was not outrageously high, and it was only more than double the usual price of rice.

Zhao Guanhou withdrew 30,000 yuan of silver from HSBC, saying that he was going to buy rice, and sent his subordinates to transfer the silver in the two fake accounts of Maibian to the account of Huabi Bank, and the silver in these two accounts was not much, only 20,000 yuan together, which would not attract attention. 50,000 taels before and after, the upfront investment in setting up a porridge field is enough.

After leaving the bank, the next person to visit was Shen Baosheng. Although the Songjiang Cao Gang does not eat much Caoyun rice now, and Nancao has also changed to shipping, they still have contacts with people on the water and grain merchants to ask them to buy rice, which is very convenient. Shen Baosheng's situation was far worse than when he first saw him, his face was gray and his spirit was sluggish, and he had lost the proud demeanor he had a few days ago.

While he was looking for Maibian, he clashed with a wave of outsiders, who were very vindictive, suffered a loss, and turned around and organized an assassination. The two fried eggs almost killed Shen Baosheng, and he was not lightly injured, so he lay at home to recuperate.

His wife, nicknamed the female insect, is a female man with a waist as thick as a bucket, and is a well-known white-faced sister-in-law. Back then, he broke into the rivers and lakes to seize the wharf, raised a knife and cut people, and did not lose his eyebrows. Now it is still majestic, and as soon as you arrive at the gate of the courtyard, you can hear the scolding of the courtyard.

After Zhao Guanhou entered the house, the woman restrained a little, but she still kept scolding, Shen Baosheng shook his head helplessly, "People are poor and short-minded, and heroes are down." I bought all the money in my house into stocks. Who knows, that wheat side actually ran away. If this foreign devil falls into my hands, see if I don't dismantle him! ”

"Senior brother, don't be angry, the money and things outside the body will be used up and then earned back. I'm here today to talk to you about business. Brother, I have now been appointed by the imperial court as the minister of general office, specifically responsible for the restoration of the city of Songjiang, although there is no order, but the governor of Liangjiang may not be in charge of me. Ask for authority and authority, and ask for silver. I think now, let's open the porridge field first and find a full meal for the villagers in Songjiang. But to open a porridge field, you have to have rice, is the elder brother familiar with the merchants who sell rice? ”

Shen Baosheng's eyes lit up, "Familiar!" Of course it's cooked. Those rice bosses are in my stomach, and I will eat them. Don't worry, you give me the silver, how many bags of rice do you want to buy, say a number, and I'll help you do it, and make sure it's fast and good, and there will be no mistakes. Senior brother, are you serious, you are now the Minister Plenipotentiary, restore the market? Doesn't that mean that the money village is also saved by you? ”

"That's natural, the money bank must be saved, and those banker tickets can't all be redeemed, and they can't be redeemed at all. It is always necessary to save some people, which is the truth. ”

"Yes, yes. Old woman, don't scold, hurry up and cut a ham for the teacher and brother, and get some old wine, our two brothers have to talk about it, there is a big business coming to the door, and we will soon get rich again. (To be continued.) )
