Chapter 26: Grievances
"Steward Han suddenly visited, I really missed the distance!"
"Your Majesty is gracious!" Walking in with a smile, Han Wenyuan didn't have the slightest sense of restraint, and said directly to the point, "This time I came to borrow money from Taizheng Kingdom, I don't know when Your Majesty is going to return it?" β
"Taejeongkook's borrowing?" The corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and he knew that Han Wenyuan, who was unprofitable and couldn't afford to be early, was definitely here for that money. Although this money was borrowed by Shen Yuan, it was to be exchanged for Dazheng Guo after all. Zhao Yuan had expected this, but when Han Wenyuan really stretched out his hand to him, he really couldn't help but feel distressed!
"What's the matter, Steward Han is afraid that I won't be able to repay the account?"
"Don't dare, don't dare!" Waving his hand again and again, Han Wenyuan glanced at Zhao Yuan with a smile, and then said softly, "It's just that I got the news a few days ago, it seems that Dazheng Guo can't come up with so much money, I don't know how Your Majesty is going to pay it back!" β
"How is that possible?" Although his face was ugly, Zhao Yuan still said strongly, "I still have some savings in Dazheng Kingdom over the years. It's only 10 million taels, and I can still get it! β
"That's good, I'll just say, these rumors on the street are not credible!"
"Oh, I don't know what rumors Steward Han has heard?"
"It's just some gossip, it can't be true!" Glancing at Zhao Yuan with a smile, Han Wenyuan said slowly, "It's just that it's all spread all over the street, and the Taizheng Kingdom has already been in deficit, and the treasury can't come up with a penny." Why, haven't all these Your Majesty heard of it? β
"What? Is there such a thing? Since Han Wenyuan said so, he would never come out of nowhere, and Zhao Yuan's face suddenly darkened. You must know that now that this Taisho Kingdom has just stabilized, and the front line is still at war in Chase Kingdom, it is the time when money is needed everywhere. If there is no money, then the whole country will have to be in chaos.
Such rumors have actually spread in the streets and alleys, and they will inevitably spread to all localities, and it is inevitable that the morale of the army will fluctuate and the localities will be restless. The matter of the deficit of the Taisho State treasury is known to the ministers of the entire court, and they can be clear as long as they inquire a little. I don't know who used this to disturb the hearts of the people and the army of the entire Taisho Kingdom, what a good move!
For the first time, Shen Yuan's figure and the three Shen family members who disappeared faintly appeared in Zhao Yuan's mind. With such a handiwork and such intentions, I am afraid that only they will do it!
"I can give money, but there is one thing I still don't know!" Looking at Han Wenyuan quietly, Zhao Yuan said lightly, "I just don't know, without my order and approval, how did Shen Yuan lend so many silver taels in the name of my Dazheng Kingdom?" β
"This matter is the fault of my Tongzhou Commercial Bank!" Admitted it without hesitation, Han Wenyuan showed an indignant look and said, "It was someone in the firm who abused his private power to deceive the superiors and subordinates, and now it has been disposed of." But rest assured, Your Majesty, such a thing will never happen again! β
"That's good, since it's a problem with Tongzhou Commercial Bank, is this money not?"
"Your Majesty, aren't you going to pay it back?" His eyes narrowed slightly, his smiling face instantly drooped, his eyebrows raised slightly, and Han Wenyuan said coldly, "Your Majesty should know that our Chamber of Commerce has lent out this money, whether it is Shen Yuan or Dazheng Guo." But this money is collateralized by the taxes of the TaishΕ Kingdom, so we can only reach out to Your Majesty! β
"If Your Majesty doesn't pay it back, something bad will happen next, and even I can't predict it!" With a light snort, Han Wenyuan continued, "Your Majesty, I advise you to look at it better and not make senseless struggles!" β
"Heh, Steward Han misunderstood, how could I repay the debt!" If it is replaced by a big force, this account will be gone. But Zhao Yuan's Dazheng Guo is obviously not taken seriously, even if this matter is their fault, this account should be repaid. No matter how angry he was in his heart, Zhao Yuan endured it on the surface, and he still had a gentle smile on his face.
"Chen An, go to the inner treasury and take the money and hand it over to Steward Han!"
"Slow!" Looking at Zhao Yuan's movements, Han Wenyuan stretched out his hand to stop it, and explained under Zhao Yuan's puzzled eyes, "Your Majesty doesn't know, our Tongzhou Commercial Bank has always been a fool of our Tongzhou Commercial Bank. Taizheng Kook borrowed 10 million taels, and according to the rules, he had to pay 10% of the interest within a year. Now His Majesty wants to repay the debt, and I am afraid that he will have to pay an extra one million taels! β
"You!" As soon as the words fell, Chen An, who was serving on the side, couldn't help but scold: "You guys are simply robbing!" β
"Presumptuous, don't go and get the money quickly, don't let Han Steward wait!" Snorting coldly at Chen An, Zhao Yuan said with a smile: "The subordinates are not sensible, and I hope that Han will not blame him!" β
"No, no!" waved his hand and glanced at Chen An with a little caution. With his eyesight, he could naturally see that the eunuch in front of him was a master, although he was under his momentum, he faintly gave himself a sense of threat, and it seemed that he was by no means good.
Then Han Wenyuan looked around with some fear, and just now two inexplicable breaths suddenly appeared, always lingering around him, making him a little uncomfortable. He knew that there were masters, and they still had to be better masters than him
Thinking of this, Han Wenyuan's eyes changed when he looked at Zhao Yuan. I didn't expect that there would be such a master by this little emperor's side, and it was no wonder that Shen Yuan was not his opponent. But fear is fear, but he is not afraid. Don't say that it is an acquired master, even if it is a congenital master, they have a lot of Tongzhou commercial banks.
However, those masters are the ones he looks up to. If something happens to him, these people won't stand up for him, he's just a small branch manager, and he's not a big deal. As long as you have any background, you won't be assigned to such a small place!
"Come, Steward Han will see if the money is enough!" After waiting for a while, Chen An walked in with several large boxes and put them on the ground with a bang.
"That's all" Looking at the box in front of him, Han Wenyuan couldn't help frowning. Taizheng Guo owes 11 million taels even with interest, but these big boxes in front of him, not to mention more than 10 million taels, at best, there are more than 100,000 taels.
Thinking about the masters in the palace, Han Wenyuan held back the impatience in his heart, and slowly stepped forward to open the box impatiently. Suddenly, the golden light was so dazzling that his eyes hurt, and Han Wenyuan couldn't help but exclaim, "This, this is gold?" β
"110,000 taels of gold, with a total value of 11 million taels of silver, Steward Han, let's see if it's enough!"
"I can trust Your Majesty's character, no need to order!" Looking at the slow gold, Han Wenyuan smiled from ear to ear. I thought it would take some effort to come here to ask for money, and I would have to meet each other with swords, but I didn't expect this little emperor to be so generous, and he gave such a handful of gold, which is really magnanimous!
"It's good that Steward Han is satisfied!" Nodding slightly, Zhao Yuan said slowly, "Steward Han is in charge of the Dazheng Branch of Tongzhou Commercial Bank, and we will have more exchanges in the future!" β
"Your Majesty, rest assured, our Tongzhou Commercial Bank wants to come to Tongsuo without deception, as long as Your Majesty can afford the price, we can meet any strange conditions!" Nervously closed the box, and his originally gloomy face immediately became smiling, "Since the money has been settled, then I will go to write off the account for Your Majesty, and I will take my leave!" β
"Steward Han go slowly, I'll see you off!!"
"Don't, don't, Your Majesty should stay, you can't afford to be sent by Your Majesty!" Grabbed the box with one hand and held it up effortlessly, revealing a deep kung fu. Several people around Han Wenyuan also started one after another, and several large boxes were carried away by them effortlessly.
"How's this guy?" After Han Wenyuan left, Zhao Yuan's face became gloomy, and he said softly behind him.
"It's a little weaker than us, but it's not too much, it's really a master!" The two old men slowly walked out from behind them, stood respectfully beside Zhao Yuan, and whispered, "But these people are so insatiable, Your Majesty just let them go!" β
"Or else?" Sighing helplessly, Zhao Yuan said unwillingly, "Qu Yang, you should know that now that my Taizheng country is not as good as others, I can't do anything!" β
"Humph!" Snorted coldly, then Zhao Yuan secretly clenched his fists, and said coldly, "But one day, I will let them spit it out!" β
