Chapter 133: A run on the Imperial Bank

According to the eldest son who fled to Daxing City, most of the landlords of all the fallen families were looted, and the slightest resistance would lead to annihilation.

Looting, murder and arson, everywhere.

The women and children of the Zheng family lost color when they heard this, and they admired Zheng Xian even more.

If Zheng Xian hadn't used the prestige of the head of the family to force his family to move to Daxing City, the fate of their Zheng family would have been just as miserable.

I shudder to think about the consequences of this, where will I enjoy such a leisurely life in Daxing City.

"Ginger is still old and spicy!" Zheng Xian was proud.

What if the mansion is occupied, and what about the land and property?

All the deeds are safely stored in the safe of the Imperial Bank, and no one can open them without a key.

As for the keys, he has put them in a very safe place. Even his own son could not be found.

After the emperor put down the rebellion, he will go back with the land deed, and everything will be his own again.

More than half of the family's property was deposited in the Imperial Bank, enjoying the interest of one cent a year, and a part of the current deposit was deposited in the Imperial Bank for ordinary expenses, and the rest was buried next to his terrace.

The three caves of the cunning rabbit were used vividly by Zheng Xian, the old landlord.

"Father!" Zheng Xian's second son, Zheng Lu, called softly behind him.

"Hmm!" Zheng Xian turned over comfortably and hummed softly, which was a response.

"What's the matter!" Zheng Xian waited for a while, and found that his son didn't make a sound, so he couldn't help but look back.

only to find that his son was behind him, and he stopped talking.

"Say it!" Zheng Xian sat up straight, knowing that the second son had something important to say.

"Father, now it is rumored throughout Daxing City that Master Liang has broken through Yan'an County." Zheng Lu said with a heavy face.

"Oh!" Zheng Xian's tone raised slightly, and he motioned for his son to continue.

"Liang Shidu's next target must be Daxing City, Daxing City is already in danger, I'm afraid I won't be able to resist it for a few days." Zheng Lu said worriedly.

"Rumors? Rumors can be several true. Zheng Xian snorted coldly and glanced at his son dissatisfied.

Liang Shidu joined forces in early February, and even if he received the support of the Turks, it was impossible for him to immediately attack Daxing City.

After all, the soldiers under him are also people, not machines that kill people without blinking, and it is impossible to tackle key problems all the way without resting.

"Father! Daxing City is just dealing with a group of bandits, and this time it is facing the elite soldiers of Shuofang County, a bitter cold place far away. ”

"So what, do you think there are no elite soldiers in Daxing City!" Zheng Xian blew his beard and glared.

After experiencing the prosperity of the Great Sui Dynasty, his trust in the court has reached a deep level.

"His Royal Highness is only fourteen years old!" Zheng Lu shouted anxiously.

"What's wrong with fourteen! You are also thirty-four years old this year, and in my opinion, His Royal Highness the Acting King can withstand ten of you, no! Hundred! Zheng Xian unceremoniously reprimanded his son.

Zheng Lu's face flushed with shame, and he said with some shame: "Even if you believe in His Royal Highness the Acting King, but others don't believe it, if it is a little later, it is estimated that the money in the Imperial Bank has already been withdrawn." ”

Zheng Lu directly stated his purpose, wanting Zheng Lu to withdraw the money deposited in the Imperial Bank.

"Done?" Zheng Xian shook his gray head and sneered at his son, "Boy, do you know who is behind the Imperial Bank?" Do you know how many family landlords came to Daxing City from the Kanto region, and how many people deposited money in the Imperial Bank, how could the money in the Imperial Bank be withdrawn? ”

Zheng Xian looked directly at his son and asked a series of rhetorical questions.

"How could it be!" Zheng Lu's face turned red and retorted,

"Now a lot of people are going to the Imperial Bank to withdraw money, once Liang Shi calls, the first one will loot the Imperial Bank, and then we will have nothing."

"A lot of people go?" Zheng Xian wondered.

At this time, there was a neighing sound of horses outside the courtyard, and Zheng Xian got up and leaned on the wall to look out.

I saw that my neighbor, the Guo family father and son from Huaxian County, were ready to drive to Daxing City.

"This old guy didn't even call me when he went to Daxing City!" Zheng Xian scolded secretly.

The Zheng family and the Guo family were the first batch of Kanto landlords to come to Daxing City, and the two had already known each other and became good friends.

"Drive! Let's go to Daxing City too! Zheng Xian immediately said that wealth is the lifeblood of the landlord's old wealth, and this cannot be lost.

"Father! I'm going to get my passbook! Zheng Lu said.

"What a passbook!" Zheng Xian reprimanded, "Let's go to Daxing City first and see what's going on!" There is a penny of profit in the passbook! ”

Zheng Xian's words exposed the essence of his landlord's greed for money.

Lijiawan is not close to Daxing City, but the straight brick road will shorten the distance between the two places infinitely.

Two horses pulled a four-wheeled carriage on the brick road galloped quickly, only the coachman, and the Zheng family father and son on the car, at the expense of horsepower, arrived at Daxing City in an hour.

On the way, I met countless landlords who went to Daxing City, and all of them rushed to Daxing City.

Even if you don't withdraw the money immediately, you still have to go and see what happened.

Before hurrying to the Imperial Bank, I saw that there were already a lot of brocade-clothed landlords in front of the bank.

"We're going to withdraw money!"

At the entrance of the Imperial Bank, a landlord dressed in brocade shouted loudly.

As soon as this remark came out, it was immediately echoed by many people!

"Liang Shidu is about to call, and if you don't withdraw money, it'll be too late!"

About a dozen landlords also shouted: "We want to withdraw money!" ”

These people were small in number, but they created a lot of noise, and some misguided landlords joined in the ranks to withdraw money.

"Daddy! You see! Zheng Lu pointed to the shouting landlords at the entrance of the Imperial Bank.

"Humph! It's just some small landlords, and the price of 10,000 acres of terraced land from the Disaster Relief Department alone is enough to return their deposits. Zheng Xian said disdainfully.

Zheng Xian did not follow the coaxing, but focused his eyes on the opposite side of the Imperial Bank.

There are more than a dozen top-of-the-line BMW cars produced by the Ministry of Daxing, each of which is more than 1,000 yuan.

Zheng Xian's footsteps moved, and an ordinary cotton coat seemed incompatible with these luxuries.

"Master Zheng!"

Next to more than a dozen top carriages, the Kanto landlords in brocade clothes and mink furs did not despise Zheng Xian's cheap cotton clothes, but bowed quite respectfully.

Although Zheng Xian is a side branch of the Zheng family, Zheng Xian's vein can directly compete with the Zheng family's vein.

"The head of the Li family, the head of the Zhang family, the head of the Liu family,......" Zheng Xian solemnly replied one by one.

These people are the largest landlords in the Kanto region, and after coming to Daxing City, all of them have met and known each other.

Before Zheng Xian could say more, he heard a commotion.

Everyone couldn't help but turn their heads to look at the Imperial Bank, only to see the white-haired Yanlai appear at the gate of the Imperial Bank.

Zheng Xian clearly remembers that at the moment of the opening of the Imperial Bank, Yanlai was in the same position.

"Yan Lai!" Zheng Xian and the others invariably whispered, and everyone's minds were tumbling for this person who was in charge of the most money in the world.

"Everyone's heard the old man's words!" Yan Lai said loudly.
