Chapter 1107: The Financial Turmoil Rises Again (3)

"Your Majesty, Prince Zhuang, Prince Yu and all the military ministers have arrived at the front hall, please make it clear."

Although it was already dark, Hongqing had given an urgent summons, and none of the people dared to delay, and not long after Hongqing finished eating, Li Dequan had already hurried over and cautiously reported a word.

"Hmm."

Hongqing sighed softly with an expressionless face, stretched out his hand, took a piece of wet white silk from the tray at the corner of the table, wiped his face vigorously, eased the difficulty after eating, and then got up and strode towards the front hall.

"The emperor has arrived!"

In the front hall, the old fifteen and others were exchanging opinions privately on the emergency situation, and they could hear a shrill shout at the junction of the front hall and the apse, and they didn't dare to go lightly, and they hurriedly stood in line according to the ranks, waiting for Hongqing's arrival.

"Ministers and others knock to see Your Majesty!"

In the sound of footsteps, Hongqing was surrounded by Li Dequan and others, and slowly turned out of the apse.

"Excuse me."

Hongqing slowly walked up to the front pier, lifted the hem of his robe, sat down on the dragon bed, and then looked around at everyone, raised his hand, and called out in a calm voice.

"Thank you, long live my emperor, long live, long live."

Although Hongqing covered it up well, all the people present were the top pillars of the country, and they could hear the haze in Hongqing's voice, and their hearts couldn't help but sink, but they didn't dare to bring it to their faces, so they could only thank God for their grace in accordance with the rules of the court.

"Stand down!"

Although his heart was not small, Hongqing was not in a hurry to say anything, but waved his hand at Li Dequan and the others, and ordered indifferently.

"Wow!"

As soon as Hongqing Chrysostom opened like this, Li Dequan and the others did not dare to delay it slightly, so they all agreed to the promise, and withdrew from the main hall.

"Zhong Aiqing should all know, the central bank inspector Lang Zhongcheng Quan Qiao Zhao seized the head office of the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, and forcibly detained the president of the bank, Kang Wanming, the incident has been two days, if I expected it is not bad, presumably the financial order of Shanxi Province has been chaotic, the wind of the run is probably spreading, if you do not make arrangements early, the consequences are difficult to predict, Zhong Aiqing has a view on this, and they all said it."

The people present were all people that Hongqing could trust, and he would not hide too much, and he straightforwardly stated the topic of this urgent discussion.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that someone must be behind this matter, if not, with Cheng Quan, how dare he act so rebelliously, and the minister will investigate thoroughly to clarify the truth."

The matter is serious, and the ministers of military aircraft did not dare to speak lightly, but the old sixteen did not have such a concern, so he snatched it out and said with righteous indignation.

"Well, I have urgently sent an edict to Shanxi Governor Miao Cheng to arrest Cheng Quan, and the investigation will definitely be thoroughly investigated, but I am not in a hurry, and now the important thing is to ensure that the financial order cannot be chaotic, especially the trend of the run must be calmed down as much as possible, Zhong Aiqing has any thoughts on this and will say that it is optimistic, I listen."

Lao Sixteen's mention of yì is pure nonsense, there is no side, there is such a big thing, how can it not be thoroughly investigated, but what, Hongqing did not dislike Lao Sixteen's brainless mentions, there is only one reason, that is, Lao Sixteen is his Hongqing's hardcore confidant, loyal and unequal, like such a person, can only be appeased, and must not be blamed at will.

"Your Majesty, the minister thought that at the moment of this crisis, he really had to make a decision immediately, and the minister mentioned that there were three, one of which was to inform the world, saying that Chengquan's seizure of the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China was an unauthorized act, not the original intention of the imperial court, and this article must not only be communicated to the local government notices, but also must be widely publicized in the "Jingshi Times"; Second, Wechen thought that the run on the tide had risen, to calm down, not a day's work, now is the beginning of the spring, businessmen everywhere are in urgent need of silver, presumably the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China that side of the loan must be more, reserves may be insufficient, once can not fulfill the merchant's withdrawal requirements, the tide will undoubtedly rise, therefore, Wechen mentioned yì imperial court should have to urgently adjust the bank, in order to ensure the urgent use of banks, money; Third, local governments should also urgently mobilize police and military forces to prevent the situation from getting out of control. If these three articles can be guaranteed, Weichen thinks that the shape should be within the controllable range. ”

Zhang Tingyu used to be cautious in his words and deeds, and never started the shot, but now it is abnormal, the first one stood up, and in one breath it was a long speech, nothing else, after being neglected during the Chengde years, Zhang Tingyu already had a great sense of crisis, and he did not want to be excluded from the decision-making circle again, plus he learned the situation earlier than the rest of the ministers, and he had already thought of how to deal with it.

"Heng Chen's three words are good, I think it is feasible, the first one and the third one will be done according to Ming'er, as for the second article, I see that it is not enough to rely on the treasury and silver of the local government alone, and I must be prepared to prepare, however, after all, the court still has to think of another way, well, the fifteenth uncle, in addition to the normal use, how much spare silver taels can be squeezed out at the 'Eight Banners Firm'?"

At the beginning of spring, it is the time when the provincial treasury is the least, and furthermore, the situation of the provincial deficit is generally zài, it is just a matter of more and less, and it really depends on the government to adjust the silver, and it can only be rescued, far from enough to calm the financial storm that may arise.

"If I go back to my majesty, if I only want to adjust my position urgently, my 'Eight Banners Firm' should be able to free up 13 million taels of silver, and as for the follow-up, I can also plan for a roughly equivalent amount of silver taels in case of emergency."

Lao 15 has controlled the "Eight Banners Firm" for many years, and he has a good idea of the current situation of the firm.

"Well, this should be enough, Shen Aiqing, how many silver taels can the state-owned investment company over there transfer out?"

The problem is that in order to control the scale of the "Eight Banners Firm", Hongqing consciously limited the scale of investment in the country of the "Eight Banners Firm", which led to the fact that most of the silver of the "Eight Banners Firm" was in Beijing.

"Your Majesty, the assets of the state-owned investment company of our Ministry of Industry are all over the country, and it is difficult to calculate how much silver can be transferred, but if it is written, the partners in various places will not be able to participate in the run, and as for the emergency of silver transfer, it should not be difficult within 30 million taels."

The Ministry of Industry is now a big business, and if it really talks about the scale and influence, it is better than the "Eight Banners Firm", and because of this, Shen He is full of confidence when he speaks.

"That's fine, and it's decided first, the matter of adjusting the head will be done by the fifteenth uncle and Shen Aiqing, and the first thing is to stabilize the financial order, even if the cost is greater, I think it is acceptable."

With the guarantee of the "Eight Banners Firm" and the Ministry of Industry, Hongqing also felt a lot more at ease, and after a little silence, he made a final decision.

"Your Majesty, the ministers should do their best."

Hongqing Chrysostom was opened, and the old fifteen and Shen He didn't dare to slack off, so they hurriedly agreed in unison.

"The two Aiqing are doing things, I am very relieved, and I will discuss the things to deal with here, and then I will talk about how to rectify the DPRK and China, I see that the current trend is not right, and I dare to do such a big and unrebellious deed, if there is no traitor behind the support, why is this, I see that this wind can not be long, do not brake this crooked wind, why do you revitalize the dynasty, all Aiqing has any ideas and just say it, I listen."

The matter of dealing with the financial turmoil has been generally agreed, at least in Hongqing's view, with so many preparations, there should be no mistakes, and in addition to peace of mind, the mind of taking the opportunity to rectify the dynasty has also become great, and his words are full of murderous aura that cannot be concealed.

"Your Majesty, the minister is willing to be the main judge, and he should clarify the truth of this case, and he will never let the traitor do it!"

Hearing Hongqing's murderous words, everyone in the hall was shocked, but the old sixteen came to the spirit and took the lead in standing up and asking for his life.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that this case must be thoroughly investigated to the end, however, the most important task at this time is to stabilize the financial order, so the minister thinks that it is better to wait for the investigation to subside before acting."

Although Hongqing didn't say who was a traitor, except for the old sixteen, the rest of the people heard that the person Hongqing really wanted to deal with was the fourth master, in this regard, although the big guys had a mirror in their hearts, but they didn't dare to get involved in it, only Fang Bao was obviously a little disappreciative of Hongqing's thoughts, which reminded him from the side.

"Mr. Linggao is exactly what he is worried about, let's just do this first, and wait for the reaction from Taiyuan to come back before making a plan."

Although Fang Bao said it very vaguely, but Hongqing knew what he really wanted to express when he heard it, it was nothing more than saying that the fourth master still has strong strength in the court now, if he can't bring it down in one fell swoop, it will inevitably cause turmoil in the court, rather than get rid of it in a hurry, it is better to cut off his henchmen first, and then slowly clean it up It is not too late, and this was originally the strategy set by Hongqing when he came to power, the reason why he wanted to start early was just because he was angry with the central bank's reckless actions, and now, Fang Bao reminded him like this, and Hongqing didn't insist more.

"Your Majesty."

Once Hongqing Chrysostom was opened, the ministers and workers would not have any objections, and they just praised it together.
