Chapter 148: Punishment
In front of the Imperial Bank, it is necessary to protect the Imperial Bank and destroy the strength of the Imperial Bank, and once again form a balance of power.
"Hahaha, a cheap businessman dares to appear, and the wealth of our ancestors has fallen into your hands." Liu Shaozhi was cunning and ruthless, and his words ignited the evil feelings of these businessmen in the hearts of all landlords.
"Under is a loan from the Imperial Bank and the loan is repaid early. I have not received a penny from your hands, nor have I seen the wealth of your ancestors as you speak. Lu Jitong said disdainfully.
He is a strong person, and he has not compromised in the face of the persecution of the Taiyuan royal family, if it were not for the unexpected help of His Royal Highness the Acting King, he Lu Jitong would have been ruined long ago, not to mention the achievements of today's largest grain merchant in Daxing City.
It is precisely because of this that Lu Jitong hates the landlords of the family even more, and he is also grateful to His Royal Highness the Acting King.
When he heard that countless Kwantung landlords had run on the Imperial Bank, Lu Jitong immediately exchanged all the grain he had hoarded for cash, and at the same time recruited a large number of businessmen to come to support the Imperial Bank.
"Sure enough, it's a cheap businessman, and when he got the money, he immediately turned his face and didn't recognize anyone, Yanlai is a cheap businessman, and he lent my wealth to you cheap businessmen, it seems that the Imperial Bank that His Royal Highness the King worked so hard to create has already been eroded by you cheap businessmen." Liu Shaozhi is far-fetched and full of fallacies and heresies, but he has won the approval of many people.
The bank is a new food, and many landlords still think that their money is only temporarily stored in the bank, and you can't touch the bank.
When the bank lends out the money, many people think that their money has been used, and the person who uses their money is still the businessman they have always looked down on.
The prevalence of this concept has led to the current situation of the Imperial Bank, and it is also the fundamental reason why Liu Shaozhi can respond to every call.
In fact, where the Imperial Bank only lends money to merchants, as long as there is enough collateral and suitable projects, Yanlai will release them one by one.
But those big landlords always want to get something for nothing, want to get a loan without a mortgage, or want to use their official position to suppress Yan Lai and force Yan Lai to open the back door, of course these Yan Lai will not agree.
"The main thing is that there is enough collateral, it is used correctly, and the Imperial Bank will lend to anyone." Yan Lai explained.
"Humph! A cheap businessman, full of nonsense, today is your last day. Just today, the old man has united dozens of landlords to join forces, and asked Lord Yan, the servant of the household department, to play on his behalf, and asked His Royal Highness to govern the lowly merchant Yan to derelict his duties and favor businessmen, resulting in turmoil in the Imperial Bank and unstable people's hearts. Liu Shaozhi broke the shocking secret.
In fact, Liu Shaozhi deliberately exaggerated the number of people, and there were only a dozen families who really signed the book.
"Otherwise, the old man and the others will take out all the money deposited in the Imperial Bank." Liu Shaozhi smiled bloodthirsty.
"What!"
Everyone who heard the news couldn't help but be shocked.
Zheng Xian and Guo Yu were shocked, he really didn't expect Liu Shaozhi to be so crazy that he dared to force the palace to His Royal Highness the Acting King.
Seeing the dense followers behind Liu Shaozhi, the two couldn't help but feel numb.
Yan Lai, Lu Jitong and the other merchants showed frightened expressions, they really knew too well about the strength of the family.
The strength of these Kwantung families is really terrifying, I am afraid that even the emperor will choose to back down, let alone a fourteen-year-old boy under His Royal Highness the Acting King.
"What's in it for you, what's in it for you and others to ruin the Imperial Bank." Zheng Xian asked angrily.
"After His Royal Highness the Acting King dismisses Yan Lai, Yan Shilang will ask His Royal Highness the Acting King to select a suitable candidate among us to manage our wealth on our behalf." Liu Shaozhi said triumphantly.
Zheng Xian Guo Yu scolded angrily in his heart, Liu Shaozhi and Yan Juncheng are in-laws, and of course this suitable candidate is him Liu Shaozhi.
"The head of the Liu family is the leader of the Kwantung family, and the position of president of the Imperial Bank will definitely be yours at that time." The head of the Zhang family patted his ass and said.
"Where, where, everyone has equal opportunities, and when the time comes, it's up to everyone to recommend it together." Liu Shaozhi was modest in his mouth, but his smug look betrayed his heart.
Watching the two sing and harmonize, everyone despised in their hearts, and couldn't help but think about it.
"No way, it is impossible for His Royal Highness to give up the Imperial Bank." Zheng Xian didn't believe it.
Yes! Everyone's minds turned and suddenly brightened.
The Imperial Bank is such a gold-absorbing weapon, they will not be willing to give it up to anyone in anyone's hands, not to mention that this is the best weapon for His Royal Highness the Acting King to compete for the throne in the future, how can His Royal Highness the Acting King let go easily.
"Of course, His Royal Highness the Acting King will not give up, but this morning, the Guanzhong Chai family Chai Pingchai will play, and advise His Royal Highness the Acting King to study hard, don't worry about the government, and transfer the Disaster Relief Department to the court to manage it on his behalf."
"Chai family!" The crowd couldn't help but exclaim.
The Chai family is one of the large families in Guanzhong, and Lord Chai Ping is even more respectable, and he is the oldest in the Daxing court.
Zheng Xian and Guo Yu couldn't help but show bitterness, they didn't expect Liu Shaozhi's ambition to be so big, not long after he arrived in Daxing City, he actually joined forces with the Guanzhong family to bully His Royal Highness the King at a young age, and wanted to divide the Disaster Relief Division and the Imperial Bank equally.
There was silence outside the Imperial Bank, and everyone was thinking about it.
"Drive!" A loud shout came.
When they looked, they saw a fast horse galloping towards them.
When the knight was about to reach the gate of the Imperial Bank, his speed was still unabated, and seeing that the distance was getting closer and closer, all the landlords avoided one after another.
Everyone was secretly angry in their hearts, but they didn't dare to say a word, because they could already see that the person who came was the East Palace guard.
"Phew!" The East Palace Guard, with a beautiful technique, stopped at the door of the Imperial Bank.
"Where is the swallow!" The guards of the East Palace looked at everyone.
"Brush."
Everyone's eyes were focused all of them on Yan Lai, who was full of white hair and was crumbling.
Yan Lai raised his head heavily, looking directly at the guards of the East Palace, his eyes calm.
"The old man is Yanlai."
Liu Shaozhi was overjoyed in his heart, his face showed a trace of hideousness, and his eyes looked at Yan Lai coldly, in his opinion, the East Palace guards came too timely, as long as Yan Lai's guilt was announced on the spot, the overall situation was decided.
Everyone also shook their heads and sighed, and there were those who had mercy in their hearts, those who were happy, and those who were greedy.
No one thought that His Royal Highness the Acting King would be able to resist the joint persecution of the two most terrifying forces of the Kanto family and the Kanchu family.
This time, Yan Lai is more auspicious and less auspicious, and the best result is to get down from the position of the president, and in serious cases, the family may be ruined.
"His Royal Highness the Acting King has ordered Yan Lai to be negligent in his duties, resulting in depositors in the Imperial Bank being unable to withdraw their deposits in time. A special penalty of one month will be imposed as an example. The knight said in a loud voice.
Sure enough, His Royal Highness punished Yan Lai.
