"What do you want me to do?"

"I want you to see Cai Jiesheng and persuade him to confess."

"Why?"

"We need evidence. The evidence now is not enough to convict him. ”

"Can't you condemn people?"

"For example, if someone comes up and says something about you, it may sound true or false. It's just logically true, but in fact there is no way to prove it. Do you think it is appropriate for us to condemn you with such evidence? Anyway, if someone were to do this to me, I would feel very inappropriate. ”

“…… Cai Jiesheng knew that if he confessed, he would be brought to justice, why did he confess? ”

"We can't do anything about him, we want to see if you can persuade him."

A simple conversation took place between Chen Daoqing and Section Chief Zhao. Although the end of the matter was unexpected, Chen Daoqing also felt that he had done his best. If you want to make a further breakthrough, you can't do anything by relying on Chen Daoqing personally.

Section Chief Zhao's expression was full of contempt, and she asked Chen Daoqing, "Are you trying to let me seduce Cai Jiesheng." ”

Chen Daoqing also thought so, but he felt unreliable. When asked by Section Chief Zhao, he immediately shook his head, "We also have some psychological tactics, we can discuss them." ”

"Can you tell me about it?"

The so-called psychological tactics are a logical device, and human beings cannot go against their own internal logic. Grasp this point, and other things will be much easier to do. Section Chief Zhao listened for a moment and then shook his head, "I don't want to see such pickled people again." ”

Chen Daoqing also had no way to order Section Chief Zhao to intervene too much, which was why he wanted to really close the case. The person who reported Cai Jiesheng this time should be someone close to Cai Jiesheng, and there is no way to determine who it is now. The letter told about Cai Jiesheng's evil deeds. Although there is no way to convict a crime, it allows a lot of peripheral intelligence to be effectively organized based on such a line of thought.

For example, Cai Jiesheng was one of the very few people who entered the deceased's office that day and talked to the deceased, and more than one person can prove that Cai Jiesheng often went to look at his watch and the door during that time. When a female office worker found the deceased and couldn't help but scream, Cai Jiesheng's first reaction was relief.

The problem is that none of these can be used as criteria for conviction. The person who is said to have heard Cai Jiesheng's statement has never shown up to testify. Even if this guy comes out, he can only provide his statement, and this kind of thing that has no evidence at all just can't be conclusive. Unless there is a confession.

Looking at Chen Daoqing's unyielding appearance, Section Chief Zhao frowned slightly, and asked puzzledly: "But I don't know why Prosecutor Chen cares so much about this case?" ”

Chen Daoqing was a little embarrassed to be asked, he was also reflecting on why he refused to let go in the past few days, and the results he got were not so bright. Just as a hound will chase after its prey when it sees it, and a cat will go up and kill it when it sees a small animal, even if it is not hungry. The joy of this hunt is naturally that the higher the difficulty, the more interested.

Cai Jiesheng is a difficult prey to catch, and as a hunter, Chen Daoqing feels very happy to hunt such a target. As for whether justice can be done, that is a by-product of the hunt. Section Chief Zhao's grief over the loss of his relatives and the unhappiness brought by being coveted, Chen Daoqing knew that these did exist, but he didn't have any special feelings about it.

After all, the opposite party was a member of the Zhao clan, and Chen Daoqing knew that he couldn't say that. He casually said a reason, "If this kind of thing can be solved, it can be regarded as a solution." After all, it was a life, and he left so inexplicably, and Section Chief Zhao was reluctant to do it. ”

Hearing this, Section Chief Zhao was surprised, but he didn't mention this topic again. And then it was gone.

Chen Daoqing could only continue to investigate the case. Of course, the case was not easy to investigate, and just when he was considering some other means, the prosecutor sent to Guangzhou returned. "Team Leader Chen, I brought back news from Guangdong. The whereabouts of the silver have finally been found. ”

"Found?" Chen Daoqing didn't expect that things could make a breakthrough.

The colleague who went to Guangdong was extremely excited and immediately replied, "Team Leader Chen." The silver went directly to the money bank in Guangdong. The money houses over there don't mint counterfeit money, they mint their own silver ingots. Although it is much more delicate, it is also a silver ingot. Then he used the silver ingots as collateral to borrow and lend. ”

Chen Daoqing was a little difficult to understand what was going on with such a complicated operation, but it sounded like it was very powerful. Under the explanation of his colleagues, Chen Daoqing finally understood a rough idea. The Great Song Dynasty issued silver coins and also issued banknotes. In Guangzhou, some money banks are doing something with silver.

Not sure whether this was legal or illegal, Chen Daoqing sent a telegram to Hangzhou. When the news arrived at Ding Fei, Ding Fei felt that something was not right. Originally, I went to investigate illegal things, how did I investigate more and more legally? In his loyalty to Zhao Guan's family, Ding Fei went to see Zhao Jiaren.

Zhao Jiaren was not surprised after reading it, the early paper money in Europe was actually the silver coupon issued by the bank. Because it takes time for these silver bills to circulate outside, the bank has a time difference. The same silver, mortgaged multiple times. The so-called run means that there is no cash in the bank, and those who hold the 'silver coupons' that are exchanged for silver in the bank go to withdraw the silver, and the bank cannot bear it and falls.

Ding Fei already felt that with the wisdom of the Zhao official family, such things would be difficult for him. Seeing Zhao Jiaren smiling, Ding Fei asked bluntly what was going on. Although under normal circumstances, it should be the official who asks the people below what is going on, what is going on. Ding Fei has never followed other officials, and in terms of his experience in serving the imperial court, Zhao Jiaren, who is high above, is the smartest, wisest and most perceptive person in the Great Song Dynasty. And he's used to it.

After listening to Zhao Jiaren's explanation, Ding Fei thought for a while before saying: "Does it mean that the money bank over there in Guangdong is accumulating silver privately?" ”

Hearing this seemingly abrupt remark, Zhao Jiaren's train of thought was suddenly opened. He really didn't think much about this matter, the Great Song Dynasty is now the largest importer of silver in the Pacific Ocean and Tianzhu Ocean, and these silvers have played a huge role as currency reserves as currency. So the best way for someone to make a fortune out of it is to make the most of silver. Now all kinds of seemingly chaotic things are straightened out.

Although he didn't dare to make such a judgment because of such a simple source, Zhao Jiaren still asked Ding Fei to go back first, and asked Qi Ye, the manager of the Great Song Dynasty General Money Village, to come. I hadn't seen Qi Ye for half a month, and I saw that Qi Ye's face with a little pale hair and beard looked a little abnormally red.

"Qi Ye, if you feel unwell, go to the doctor." Zhao Jiaren's concerned suggestion.

"It's okay." Qi Ye looked at an indescribable spirit, and replied very confidently.

Since Qi Ye himself said so, Zhao Jiaren was embarrassed to say too much to this old friend who had known him for more than 20 years. Qi Ye is already in his fifties, and talking too much is like looking down on him. Zhao Jiaren went straight to the topic, "How much silver did the money bank in Guangzhou buy recently?" ”

Qi Ye was stunned for a moment, and then his expression hesitated. Zhao Jiaren was not in a hurry to ask, as long as Qi Ye did know the news, it meant that there must be a problem.

"What did the officials hear?" Qi Ye said hesitantly.

"I'm sure I've heard something. So I wanted to ask you what you've heard. Zhao Jiaren said with a smile.

"This ...... I've heard...... It seems that the money village in Guangdong is learning the methods of the imperial court. ”

"What to learn from the means of the imperial court. The so-called Guangdong money village was also built after some Quanzhou money houses and Fuzhou money houses went to build in those years. The means of using silver as collateral is not new, and the money banks in Hangzhou and Quanzhou have also done it in the past, but they have not done much. So I just want to ask, as far as you know, how much silver those banks have accumulated in the last two or three years. ”

Qi Ye's heart throbbed for a while, if the boss was a fool, or if he was a fool with the light, Qi Ye had absolute confidence in all kinds of fools. In the face of Zhao Jiaren, the pressure is too great. What's more, Qi Ye himself didn't know how many precious metals the money bank in the south had gotten over the years.

The precious metals of the Great Song Dynasty were mainly obtained from the Wa Kingdom and the islands near the Wa Kingdom occupied by the Great Song Dynasty, because it was originally controlled by Zhao Jiaren and is still controlled by the Zhao official family. But as soon as the sea was opened, a lot of gold and silver were obtained from Tianzhuyang. This part of the gold and silver depends on whether the merchant has this channel, but the imperial court can't control so much. Naturally, the maritime merchants were profit-seeking, and when the price of gold and silver purchased by the imperial court was low, they were willing to sell the gold and silver to a higher bidder.

"Official, the minister will inquire after he goes down."

"Huh. Questioning. Zhao Jiaren did not answer immediately. The so-called inquiry, probably there is no follow-up. Qi Ye would ask, Qian Zhuang had no reason to answer. The end result was still a no-brainer. There were many people who wanted to deal with Zhao Jiaren like this, and Zhao Jiaren found that he couldn't deal with Qi Ye.

Those who are qualified to fool Zhao Jiaren have to be high-ranking officials and nobles, and the officials fool Zhao Jiaren, and Zhao Jiaren can be removed and replaced. Qi Ye's statement is not a simple substitution. Qi Ye had to face private owners, and those money houses were not opened by the Great Song Dynasty, so of course they would not bow down to the Great Song Dynasty. Just as the U.S. government expects private banks to be obedient, but private banks will never be obedient. It was during the 2008 financial crisis that many banks said that 'Lao Tzu's business is doing very well, and there is no need for the government to interfere and command'. It was also the finance minister at the time who forced the banks to accept hundreds of billions of 'bailout funds' from the government.

There are many debates on the role of the forced increase in liquidity in the financial crisis of that year, but it is at least a testament to the strong dominance of the US government at the time. That level of dominance was much stronger than Zhao Jiaren's dominance over the Great Song Qianzhuang.

Qi Ye didn't know that Zhao Jiaren had a lot of experience in his mind soon, just looking at Zhao Jiaren's expression, Qi Ye knew that Zhao Jiaren was going to do something. Qi Ye hurriedly said, "Please don't worry." ”

Zhao Jiaren smiled: "I'm not in a hurry. I just want to know the specifics. Am I going to rob them? ”

When Qi Ye heard this, he also felt that he was a little too excited. Zhao Jiaren still won't grab money when he is most short of money, because he has a good business and can take out money and materials. It is almost impossible for Zhao Jiaren to directly grab money. After figuring out this joint, Qi Ye simply asked, "But I don't know what the official family heard." ”

"Someone used silver as collateral and learned the methods of the imperial court." Zhao Jiaren replied to Qi Ye with Qi Ye's words.

"What does the official family want to do with them?"

"I just want to know how much gold and silver they have, and I don't want to deal with them."

"I'm afraid that they won't tell the truth."

"Of course they won't tell the truth, but I think they're just afraid they're going to blow it up. The bigger the blow, the more these people were able to roll the silver. When the leverage is high, the problem is big. ”

"Leverage?" Qi Ye was not familiar with the word. Because the proportion of capital profit at this stage is extremely high, it does not need any leverage.

But Zhao Jiaren has this concept. When he was in the United States, he saw some news that in the subprime mortgage crisis of 08, the leverage of the fallen Lehman Brothers was only 20-30 times, which was the lowest among many investment banks. The investment banks that dared to put the leverage to 50 times were spared.

"The reason why I investigated this matter is not because I have a fancy for the gold and silver of those people, and that gold and silver are nothing. Their gold and silver must have been lent to the merchants, and something would have happened to them in that way. If something happens, it will not be them who will suffer, but many people will die with it. Zhao Jiaren recounted his worries.

Although Qi Ye didn't quite know what was going on, he understood that Zhao Jiaren didn't want to rectify people. Qi Ye's cousin Qi Rong is one of those money houses, although Qi Ye is no longer one of the shopkeepers of Jianxian Qianzhuang, but Jianxian Qianzhuang is the Qi family's property after all, and Qi Ye doesn't want the family's property to have an accident. He replied, "Official, I will order to inquire into this matter." ”

Temporarily disposed of the matter. In order to ease his mood, Zhao Jiaren looked at the evaluation of his son Zhao Qian. Agricultural production in Sizhou is doing well, but it is clear that the local agricultural director takes good care of the people he cares about. Therefore, Zhao Qian's name did not appear in the commendation list. However, soybean production in Sizhou was mentioned, and the report said that after the adoption of new technology, soybean production has increased significantly.

Before Zhao Jiaren developed the technology of rhizobia in the Agricultural College, a leguminous crop was able to fix nitrogen by himself, and later learned that this statement was false. Those nitrogen-fixing nodules are not born with soybeans, but legumes are prone to form symbiotic states with these rhizobia.

Looking at the report, Zhao Jiaren felt that the director had done a good job. I think Zhao Qian can personally experience what are the characteristics of the report below. Although there are bosses who do not hide the credit of their subordinates, the number of such bosses is very small. Most of them are officials like the current director of the Sizhou Agricultural Bureau. If Zhao Qian could face this fact calmly, Zhao Jiaren felt that this kid had taken a big step forward. It's close to the level of being able to take over.
