Qi Shaofang said: "It sounds good, but I'm afraid that it will go against the truth."

Zhang Zhongmou said: "Why do you say that?

Qi Shaofang said: "When a new thing is born, it takes time for the world to accept it.

Zhang Zhongmou said: "It's okay, the current banking system is mature, and the issuance should not be a problem."

Qi Shaofang said helplessly: "I hope so."

Really! Three days later, after the major banks undertook the issuance of bonds, not only did not many people subscribe, but large merchants came to the banks to exchange a large amount of gold and silver. This result surprised Zhang Zhongmou.

Suzhou, Li Mansion.

Li Hanqing said: "Dad! You see what to do in the current situation.

Li Minlong said: "Credibility is the life of the bank, and the issuance of bonds is suspended for now. The reserve fund is then activated to prepare for the current run risk. If you go to Shandong tomorrow, I will ask Chairman Zhang for further instructions.

Li Hanqing said: "Will the suspension of bond issuance affect the current war situation.

Li Minlong said: "I can't control so much now."

Li Hanqing said: "In this way, will the chairman blame us."

Li Minlong said: "Probably not!"

Li Hanqing said: Why!

Li Minlong said: "According to the Interim Measures for the Administration of Banks, Article 17 of Chapter 10 stipulates that all business activities can be suspended during abnormal periods. And it's in line with his style.

Li Hanqing said: That's good! I'll go to Shandong tomorrow, and I'll leave it to my father.

Li Minlong said: "Don't worry about doing things!" There's my old bone here, and there's no problem.

And on the Shandong side, under the rumors of well-intentioned people, rumors are spreading, even if Shandong has been calm for many years, the prestige of Jiannu still makes the people of Shandong panic all day long.

Someone said: "Jiannu has been approaching the Shanhaiguan, a million troops are pressing the border, and the Ming Dynasty is about to rekindle the flames of war."

Some people also said: "Jiannu has begun to burn and loot again, and is heading for Shandong."

Someone else said: "The Escort has suffered many defeats in a row. In just a few days, the price of food has risen a lot, and other supplies have also risen a little.

And the banks in Shandong, the run situation is a little better. After all, the people here have a relatively high knowledge popularization rate.

Not susceptible to influence. Fortunately, for the sake of insurance, Zhang Zhongmou only issued bonds in Shandong and Suzhou. Even so, it also makes the forces of all parties in Shandong surge.

The Yellow River Gang is a gang that has been established for more than a year, and the underground force is organized by some bandits such as horse bandits and beards who have no way out. The gang leader Ma Yunlong, who used to be the boss of Cuiyun Mountain, was wiped out by the guards, and he was lucky to jump into the ground, unwilling to go underground again, he was a businessman on the surface, but secretly he did some shady things. For example, collecting insurance premiums, lending profits, using violence to collect debts for the patrons, and other evil things.

When he heard that the government was going to war, he immediately sent his men to spread rumors everywhere.

Gathering businessmen to stock up grain caused the price of rice in Shandong to rise three times a day.

Leping Beye Group, which is a rich concentration area, was built in 1647 and sold in its entirety, only about 100 buildings of Beye Group, so that Zhang Zhongmou earned nearly 100 billion Chinese dollars.

Ruiyuan Villa is the base camp of the Yellow River Gang, and on the surface he is a Jinghe Chamber of Commerce Co., Ltd., which has hotels, guesthouses, bars, hostels and other service industries.

Kaohsiung, the deputy gang leader, was holding a glass of red wine, shook it and said: "Boss, now the whole Shandong rumor is everywhere, there are all kinds of versions, what kind of actions do you say the government will take."

Ma Yunlong said: "The most direct and effective way is to refute rumors.

The deputy gang leader Kaohsiung said: "If they do this, won't we be busy in vain!"

Ma Yunlong said: "So this game has just begun.

The deputy gang leader Kaohsiung said: "Boss, what plan do you have."

Ma Yunlong said: "Now that you have ordered people to collect a large amount of grain from all over the country and buy back the surplus grain from the government warehouse, I don't believe how high his grain reserves are."

Kaohsiung, the deputy gang leader, said: "Government warehouse? That's not going to be easy!

Ma Yunlong smiled: "As long as it is profitable, nothing is impossible."

The deputy gang leader Kaohsiung said: "Then without further ado, I will do it immediately."

Ma Yunlong said cautiously: "Do things secretly, don't let people find out that we did it, otherwise you and I won't be able to finish eating and walking."

Deputy gang leader Kaohsiung said: "I understand!

Ma Yunlong said: "Then you go and get busy!"

Five days later, Zhang Zhongmou held a press conference to accuse him of spreading rumors. After that, major newspapers reported on the incident, and it took more than half a month for more than half a month to slowly subside. However, one thing worried made him not sleep well.

The Military Administration Bureau, a people's livelihood report is on his desk, and it is inevitable that the food has risen, and it is getting more and more vigorous. Not only Shandong, but also all over the country, such signs appeared, which made him deeply feel that this was a premeditated action.

Two days later, the Municipal Building, the second floor conference room.

This was the first time that Zhang Zhongmou presided over such a people's livelihood meeting, which was attended by Mayor Liu Xinyi, Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee Yan Tai, as well as mayors, secretaries of the Municipal Party Committee and county magistrates of various counties in Shandong.

Liu Xinyi first said: "A few days ago, some people in various counties in Shandong suddenly collected grain at high prices, almost in short supply, and now there is a shortage of grain in the market, and the price of rice is also rising fiercely day by day.

Yan Taidao, Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee: "Mayor Liu, that's a good point! Moreover, it is certain that some people have maliciously purchased grain, intending to raise the price of rice and accumulate it.

Zhang Zhongmou said: "I am glad that you can see it. But what makes me sad is that now there are people who don't even let go of the government's grain reserves, I now give you a chance to check yourself, if you can't find out within 5 days, write your resignation and hand it in, and more people are willing to do it!

Everyone did not expect that the matter would be so serious, and when they heard that the chairman of the committee was making an ultimatum, if they didn't do anything, they would have to go home and eat themselves, and they all expressed their full cooperation.

After the meeting, the whole of Shandong Province began to rectify the trend of discipline, and some people who usually acted as powerful and good were found out, and many people who resold official grain were also found out, all of them were some township cadres and village heads.

But there was no help for the price of rice, so Zhang Zhongmou had to supply his own grain. But soon there were a large number of purchases, and the price of rice remained high.

Qi Shaofang said: "How about it, my committee member, now I have to suffer!"

Zhang Zhongmou said: "I am still in the mood to gloat."

Qi Shaofang said: "It seems that you have met an opponent!"

Zhang Zhongmou said: "The enemy is in the dark, and I am in the light, and I am indeed very passive."

Qi Shaofang said: "Then how are you going to deal with it!"

Zhang Zhongmou said: "Wait!

Qi Shaofang said: "What are you waiting for!"

Zhang Zhongmou said: "Wait for the other party to show flaws."

Qi Shaofang said: "Then we can't do nothing!"

Zhang Zhongmou said: "This is nature!

Qi Shaofang said: "Then what can we do now."

Zhang Zhongmou said: "Send our people to closely monitor the movements of these rice sellers.

Qi Shaofang said: "Then do you want to send someone to buy grain from other places?"

Zhang Zhongmou said: "No!

Qi Shaofang said: "But if we don't buy grain, our little warehouse will be sold out in a few days."

Zhang Zhongmou said: "Do you remember that three years ago, I asked you to handle the matter of immigrating to Taiwan Island?

Qi Shaofang said: "What does this have to do with the mess in front of you."

Zhang Zhongmou said: "I use this island to grow food, and the immigrants are naturally for planting stumps.

Qi Shaofang said happily: "You mean there is still food there."

Zhang Zhongmou said with a smile: "Not only is there it, but it can also afford to supply the entire Ming Dynasty, a population of 700 million people for two years."

Qi Shaofang said: "There is so much food, why should you let these people succeed."

Zhang Zhongmou said: "These people are the frogs of society, and sooner or later they will come out to harm people. If it is not eradicated, it will become a great disaster in the future.

Qi Shaofang said: "So you took this opportunity to rectify local discipline and let the legal system and jurisprudence be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people."

Zhang Zhongmou said: "That's right! It's not in vain that you've been with me all these years.

Qi Shaofang said: "Cut ......!" It seems that he is very profound.

Zhang Zhongmou smiled silently.

Qi Shaofang said: "Then what should we do now."

Zhang Zhongmou said: "I suspect that their purpose is not only this, I believe that they will take action soon." So we waited and waited.

Qi Shaofang said: "This feeling is really uncomfortable!

Zhang Zhongmou said: "You're right, this is exactly what they are trying to do, let us fight ourselves." When the time comes! Catch us off guard again, so not only can't we be fooled now, but we also have to be wary of their next move.

Qi Shaofang said: "Husband! Even if this officialdom is intrigued, I still have to fight with such people, I am really tired!

Zhang Zhongmou took her into his arms and said gently: "There is no way to do it!" We are on the ship of Daming, if we don't continue to move forward, what awaits us may be perdition. So before the storm comes, we have to protect ourselves to go further!

Qi Shaofang said: "Husband, I understand! Our burdens are still very heavy, but as long as you are there, I am not afraid of anything.

Zhang Zhongmou said: "What a stupid girl!

Qi Shaofang said angrily: "Are you stupid? Do something unpleasant!
