Chapter 319: The Original Form Is Revealed
150,000 taels, this number is not too much, and it is not too much to say less.
These silver taels may be out of reach for ordinary people, but for the officials of the current dynasty, they are nothing.
Let's say that Wang Ying, the magistrate of Changping County, a Jinshi who has been orthodox for ten years, does not show mountains and does not leak water on weekdays, has been an official for five years, and his family has 200,000 taels of silver, which is easy.
Zhang Yi has been a Jinshi in Yongle for thirteen years, and he has been an official for more than 30 years, and he has saved 150,000 taels of silver.
Gao Hub, who is also a cabinet scholar, when he copied his house, he had more than 5 million taels of silver, which is not counting the property that cannot be valued in a short period of time, such as house title deeds, antiques, calligraphy and paintings.
Not to mention the mountains of gold and silver when Wang Zhen raided his house, as well as countless treasures......
In contrast, Zhang Yi's savings are really a little pitiful.
At this time, he only felt a little cramping in his heart, his face turned pale, and the whole person sat directly on the ground.
The calf is finished, and the savings of a lifetime ...... Without!
Cao Nai was quite calm, took a deep breath, and then said: "Don't worry, I'll go and tell the emperor immediately, if you really can't move the Beijing camp, you will definitely be able to catch people!" ”
Zhang Yi hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Don't, don't use the Beijing camp, or hand it over to the Shuntian Mansion and the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses, control the situation first, if you make a big move, I'm afraid it is, I'm afraid it is...... will cause unrest! ”
It has just happened, and everyone may be able to wait and see for a while, as long as they can get people back, there may be a turnaround.
If you dispatch the Beijing camp, it is equivalent to telling everyone that something serious has happened, and your money is gone!
At that time, many of the murdered bankrupts will start a madness, and there will be a big mess.
He himself was a victim and certainly knew best how those people felt.
Now it's not just a matter of how much silver is lost, it's the foundation of the imperial court!
Mengdi, he suddenly remembered something, what the emperor said...... That's right......
The emperor is really like a god, his judgment on this matter is particularly accurate, hurry up and ask the emperor, maybe there is something else to deal with!
Thinking of this, he no longer hesitated, and hurriedly got up and went to the imperial study.
However, he pounced, so he stopped a little eunuch and asked, only to know that there were too many people, and the imperial study was about to burst, so the emperor had to announce that a temporary court meeting would be held.
He hurried to the Fengtian Hall again, only to see that it was more lively than the previous court, but the emperor had not yet come, and no one was in charge of the overall situation for the time being.
The officials were blushing and thick-necked, full of righteous indignation, and even scolded, if they didn't know, they thought that the Warat people had hit the Jingshi.
Zhang Yi stepped forward, and everyone noticed him, clasping his fists and saluting without saltiness, but they were absent-minded one by one, and many people's faces were also difficult to see.
Beside him, Kuang Yu's expression was miserable, and the whole person seemed to have aged a lot all of a sudden.
Zhang Yi couldn't help but ask, "Kuang Shangshu, did you also invest in silver?" ”
Kuang Yu sighed and said: "Who said it wasn't, it's so decent, how can this be...... Alas! ”
Among the hundreds of officials, there are not a few who are damaged.
Like Kuang Yu, he has worked hard all his life, and now that he is about to retire, he wants to earn some money for retirement.
Therefore, like Zhang Yi, he took out all his savings and invested them.
Other people's thoughts are similar, in recent years, it has become more and more difficult to be an official, and the emperor is even more like a Taizu, and he finds a corrupt official, whether it is a cabinet scholar or a scholar of the six books, and he does not hesitate at all.
The ice and charcoal respects that were prevalent in the past have also disappeared, and occasionally there are some acquaintances, and the gifts are all sneaky, and they dare not meet people.
In this situation, how can you endure seeing such a good opportunity to make money?
Even some people have seen some clues and know that there must be something behind this bank, but they still flock to it, just because they want to gamble.
Betting on how long this game can last, if you can make a big profit in a short period of time, and then go ashore, it seems to be a good choice.
But, without warning, the man ran away!
This made them chagrined, as the human spirit of the human spirit, they were even deceived by a businessman.
It's not just the silver that is lost, it's also the face......
Things are fermenting very quickly, and now there is a lot of uproar outside, and God knows what the situation will become.
I even heard that the stock exchange seems to be affected by this, and many stock prices have begun to fall.
The stock market has absorbed a large amount of private silver, if this is not good, but it will shake the society and the country!
Zhang Yi not only felt sorry for his 150,000 taels of silver, but also worried about the follow-up incident caused by this incident, and the whole person seemed very anxious.
Finally, a sharp voice came: "The emperor has arrived!" ”
The officials hurriedly bowed and saluted, but Zhu Qizhen was calm, came to the hall, and waved his hand: "Flat!" ”
Immediately afterwards, Zhang Yi took the lead and said: "Your Majesty, that Longsheng Qianzhuang ......"
"I know everything!"
Zhu Qizhen raised his hand and interrupted him.
"Don't worry, you guys, I have already made arrangements, and the owner of Longsheng Qianzhuang can't run away, but I can't guarantee how much of your silver can be recovered."
Hearing this, the faces of the officials became even more ugly.
Why do you have a plan to let people run away?
Besides, if people can't escape, why can't we get our money back?
Kuang Yu stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, I think this person has been planning for a long time, and he has already made complete preparations, but I am afraid that at this time, he has already changed his appearance and fled!" ”
For the imperial court, it should not be difficult to find someone.
But the proprietor of this Longsheng Money Village obviously expected such a day, plus people have silver in their hands, and I don't know what kind of support there is behind him, under this kind of perfect preparation, it will be difficult to find it again.
Money, our hard-earned money, all swept away by him!
All the officials are big investors, and when they think of this, they can't wait to immediately catch this person in front of them, and slash him alive.
Zhang Yi took a deep breath, tried to stabilize his emotions, and said: "Five days ago, the emperor had a warning to the ministers, saying that Longsheng Qianzhuang must be a scam, and the ministers still disagreed, and now it is too late to regret it, this thief is in the name of Qianzhuang, in the past three months, up to the dignitaries, down to the people of Limin, all of them have been on his way, it can be seen that this thief is scheming, and wants to shake the foundation of my Ming Dynasty. ”
Behind him, the faces of the hundreds of officials were like ashes.
The emperor once gave advice, this matter is not a secret, they all know it, but they are all the same as Zhang Yi, they don't take it seriously.
They are still happy to do it, and they put the hard-earned silver into Longsheng Money.
Many of them looked like ashes, miserable and miserable, some of them were old, and at this time, their bodies could no longer hold on, and two fainted on the spot.
Although Zhang Yi's words are a bit sensational, they are what everyone wants to hear.
Only by making things more serious can we attract enough attention.
In this way, the emperor will spare no effort to arrest people.
Otherwise, with only Shuntianfu and Wucheng Soldiers and Horses, it is estimated that there is no hope.
It is also not a good idea to dispatch the Beijing camp, which will cause panic among the people, which in turn will cause unrest.
The only way is to use the power of the factory guards.
Obedient and listening, Zhu Qizhen naturally understood what they felt in their hearts.
However, there is nothing wrong with that.
To be honest, there are not many people who really understand the way here, and unless they have experienced the beating of later generations, it is difficult not to be tempted to see such a huge temptation.
At this time, Kuang Yu couldn't help but ask, "Your Majesty, ...... you Knowing beforehand? ”
As soon as these words came out, many people couldn't help but widen their eyes, looked at Zhu Qizhen on the dragon chair, and had such a question in their hearts.
The shopkeeper of the money bank is very creditworthy on weekdays, and at the beginning of every month, he will cash out the dividends in time, how did the emperor see it?
At this time, Zhu Qizhen naturally did not hide it, so he said: "When I first heard that the dividend ratio of this Longsheng Money Village was too high, I felt that it was unreasonable. Even if the proprietors of this Longsheng Money Village are well-connected and have a big business, it is a bit too high. ”
"Let's just say that the railway business is one of the hottest industries at the moment, how much profit can they make? Those who are really involved in it dare to guarantee such a stable profit every month? If even the people who actually do the project can't guarantee it, then just participating in the investment, the profit is higher and more stable, is this reasonable? ”
Zhang Yi and the others still couldn't understand, so they had to ask the question in their hearts: "However, the first three months have been cashed out in time......
Zhu Qizhen shook his head and said: "It's too simple, he only needs to tear down the east wall to make up the west wall, and use the newly absorbed silver to pay the dividends of his predecessors, that is to say, your silver has not appreciated, the so-called dividends are actually just your principal, so down, your principal will be less and less, and one day, he will run away with the money." ”
Zhang Yi also had a question: "How did the emperor confirm that he would flee in just a few days?" ”
"It's simple, just throw a sum of money into it, let him feel that he is actually ripe, and then just wait, he will definitely run."
After a pause, Zhu Qizhen said again: "What this person uses is just people's greed, and greed will breed people's thoughts of getting something for nothing." Of course, this can't be blamed on others, everyone has greed, you have it, I also have it, it's just that you are greedy for the petty profits in front of you, and I am greedy for this world! ”
When they heard this, they couldn't help but feel ashamed.
Everyone is a scholar, and they claim to be the disciples of the saints, and they speak on behalf of the saints, but the saints also have to eat.
No one is too much silver, not to mention, this is legal income, not greedy or appropriate, why not?
It is precisely because of this that the shopkeeper of the money bank can control tens of thousands of people in the palm of his hand.
The scariest thing about a scam is that it disguises itself as a legitimate business.

The operation of the money bank is to absorb savings and lend money, other money banks can, why can't Longsheng money bank?
Before the owner fled with the money, no one could be sure that this person was a liar.
If it is directly seized just because the dividends given by others are more than those of other banks, it shows that the imperial court still refuses to approve the industrial and commercial behavior under the new policy, and the new policy becomes a joke.
Therefore, the biggest difficulty in striking at is how to identify.
People absorb the deposit silver and pay dividends on time, a lot of points, what can you do?
What's more, there are so many victims, these people can wait to receive dividends, as long as the owner doesn't run, how can you say that people are liars?
Faced with such a situation, the use of force just gave them an excuse.
You see, I do business in a proper manner, but some people are angry and deliberately frame me, and now I am a prisoner, and if you can't get your money back, no wonder me.
In this way, the anger of these thousands of people will naturally be transferred to the imperial court.
Zhang Yi asked again: "May I ask the emperor, how much silver was invested?" ”
Zhu Qizhen smiled and raised a finger: "Ten million taels!" ”
Thousand...... Ten thousand!
Everyone gasped.
That's a lot of money!
Under the whole world, if you want to come, you can only get it from the treasury or the treasury.
If it is an ordinary family, even if there are really 10 million taels at home, do you dare to take it all out?
At this point, Zhang Yi finally understood why the emperor wanted to bet with him.
If the owner of the money bank is really as the emperor said, he has been tearing down the east wall and making up the west wall, then the principal in his hand will be less and less, and when the right opportunity comes, he will definitely flee with the money.
Therefore, when this 10 million taels of real money suddenly came into the account, the time came!
If you don't leave at this time, the next dividends will be less than a penny, just this investment of 10 million taels can drag him down.
The emperor saw this, so in the name of betting, in fact, he helped Peng Qing and Bei Lin exonerate, these two fought in public, and they still fought in Shuntianfu Yin, no matter whether they were right or wrong, they could not escape punishment.
Thinking of this, Zhang Yi couldn't help but gasp.
As soon as you make a move, it's tens of millions of taels of silver, which is really a big deal!
It's just that......
Zhang Yi glanced at the emperor cautiously, and in addition to admiration, there was sympathy in his eyes.
People are gone, but your money is gone!
"The ministers regret not listening to the emperor's words, but now that hundreds of people have been victimized, and this thief is still carrying a huge amount of money, he is missing, how to arrest him next, please make it clear to the emperor!"
Zhu Qizhen smiled and said disapprerovingly: "This person wants to escape, where is it so easy, don't worry, I have already sent Jinyi Wei to search, if nothing happens, I will recover the people and the stolen money tomorrow, after you go back, try to appease the people around you, and then wait for the news!"
Zhang Yi looked a little dazed, since he had already made arrangements, why did he send someone to search after letting people run away?
Wouldn't it be good to ambush early, wait for him to escape, and arrest him directly?
However, since the emperor said so, there is nothing to worry about, just obey the order.
As for reassuring others...... Hehe, in this situation, it's good to be able to appease yourself, who can control others!
