Originally, they only wanted to deal with the Qianqiu pledge bank, but it was not only the pledge bank that did the lending business.

If they wanted to implement this decree, Su Shi would definitely use his strength to persuade the Son of Heaven to extend this decree to all acts of lending.

If Zhou Yu still forcibly implemented this decree at this time, the court would not be as calm as it is today, and naturally opposition would rise one after another, and Zhou Yu would also become the target of public criticism.

But if Zhou Yu gave up on implementing this decree at this time, wouldn't he slap himself in the face, and his prestige would be much lowered.

Thinking of this, Zhou Yu couldn't care about his image anymore, his eyes almost burst into flames, and he said angrily: "I can't imagine that this Su Shi is so ghostly!" ”

Immediately, he looked at Qiao Chu and sneered: "Qiao Qing doesn't have to worry, after the detailed rules of this decree are drawn up, it will be reported to His Majesty's court for discussion." ”

Qiao Chu looked at him suspiciously, and asked, "Could it be that His Highness has already thought of a way to crack it?" ”

Zhou Yu said coldly: "Since this decree is from my hand, after the fall of the Qianqiu Quality Bank, it is easy for me to repeal this decree. ”

Qiao Chu shook his head and said slowly: "It is not a wise move to change the order of the day, it will damage the reputation of His Highness, and His Majesty may not agree. In addition, the Qianqiu quality bank will not be so easy to collapse in a short period of time. ”

This was originally Zhou Yu's angry words without thinking, and after Qiao Chu's calm analysis, he also knew that this move was the next step.

"Then Qiao Qing has any way to crack it?"

Qiao Chu's expression was calm as usual, and he said lightly: "The subordinate has not thought of the method of cracking the front for the time being, but it is not so easy for Su Shi to take advantage of the situation to fight back." ”

Seeing Qiao Chu Zhizhu in his hand, Zhou Yu said happily: "Could it be that Qiao Qing has already thought of a countermeasure?" ”

Qiao Chu lowered his eyebrows and smiled: "Even if Su Shi wants to use his strength, we must urge this decree to pass the court." If the flag dies down at this critical moment, it will damage the prestige of His Highness. ”

The Dongyuan Quality Bank was newly defeated, and the Rio Division was investigated, and the household department also lost a right attendant and two principals, which has made him lose face.

If this counterattack ends without a hitch, King Qi's prestige is only afraid that it will fall to the bottom.

Qiao Chu continued: "And after this decree is passed, it will also bring the benefits of winning people's hearts to His Highness. Although the government is out of His Majesty, the root cause is that His Royal Highness is worried that the people will suffer from usury and make this suggestion, and the people will naturally be grateful to His Highness. ”

Speaking of this, Qiao Chu thought for a while, and then said: "To win people's hearts, start with the Dongyuan Quality Library." ”

"The East Source Reservoir?" Zhou Yu was puzzled: "The Dongyuan Plasma Library has been seized by my father, how can I win people's hearts?" ”

Qiao Chu said: "The Dongyuan Treasure Bank has been seized, and the property and property under its name should also be attributed to the national treasury, so it is not good for His Highness, why should His Highness not turn the crisis into an opportunity?" ”

Zhou Yu involuntarily straightened his body and hurriedly asked, "How does this king turn danger into opportunity?" ”

"Your Highness can write to Your Majesty, denouncing the Dongyuan Reservoir for its evil deeds and bloodthirstiness, so that the victims are numerous and the people's hearts are unstable. Now that the Dongyuan Reservoir has been seized, the industries and financial resources it has seized should be returned to the victims to appease the people. And if this matter is handled by the household department, then both His Royal Highness and the household department can regain momentum. ”

When Zhou Yu heard this, he was overjoyed, and couldn't help laughing: "Qiao Qing's plan is very good and wonderful!" In this way, we can really turn a crisis into an opportunity and win people's hearts. ”

He and Zhou Jin have coveted the position of the crown prince for a long time, and they are evenly matched above the court, if they can win the hearts of the people at this time, the balance will naturally tilt in his favor.

The more Zhou Yu thought about it, the more he felt that this plan was wonderful, and he couldn't help but sigh: "Qiao Qing is talented." ”

However, Qiao Chu's face was still as calm as water, and he continued: "Winning the hearts of the people is only one of them, and more importantly, it can also win the hearts of the ministers of the family and the wealthy nobles. ”

"Can you also win the hearts of the ministers of the family and the wealthy nobles?" Zhou Yu was surprised and delighted, and he couldn't believe it: "This decree will inevitably damage their interests, and it's too late for these people to oppose it, how can they still win their hearts?" ”

Qiao Chu smiled slightly and explained: "As soon as this decree is issued, someone must supervise it. Since the decree was proposed by His Highness, the responsibility of supervision naturally falls on His Highness. With the word in charge, those ministers of the family and the nobles of the wealthy families are willing to give up this piece of fat easily. Since His Highness has the responsibility of oversight, it is easy to grasp the pain points of these people. Now that he has caught the sore spot of these people, His Highness is smart and naturally knows what to do next. ”

Zhou Yu's expression was changed at this time, and his eyes were shining, because he had fully understood Qiao Chu's meaning.

Although the decree was issued, those ministers of the family and the wealthy nobles may not follow it, and they will privately lend money at usurious rates. Since he supervised this matter, as Qiao Chu said, it was easy to catch these people.

Since they have the handle in hand, if these people do not return to their hearts, they will naturally be ruthless and strictly dealt with according to the law. If it returns to its heart, it will naturally open the net and take it for its own use.

Zhou Yu nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile: "Qiao Qing's meaning, this king has already understood, and now the burden falls on Qiao Qing's shoulders." ”

Qiao Chu bowed slightly and said, "Weichen understands. In the past few days, Wei Chen will definitely go to great lengths to make this decree thorough and meticulous, and the punishment will be harsh and severe, so as to warn those who are young. ”

Zhou Yu couldn't help laughing, then got up and walked to Qiao Chu's side, patted Qiao Chu lightly on the shoulder, and said, "Qiao Qing knows my intentions very well, and he is worthy of being the humerus of this king." ”

Immediately, his voice was like ice, and he said slowly: "As soon as the decree comes out, the first knife will cut off the Qianqiu quality storehouse." If Su Shi wants Qianqiu Quaku to live, he will definitely violate the law in secret, as long as he makes a wrong step, I will never show mercy. ”

At this time, Chu Qiao frowned slightly, and couldn't help asking, "What if Su Shi obeys this decree?" ”

Zhou Yu laughed loudly and said: "Even if Su Shi abides by this decree, the Qianqiu Qualitative Library will still be a dead end in the end. ”

However, Qiao Chu seemed to have a different opinion, and he said slowly: "Your Highness is only afraid that he is a little optimistic, Su Shi is by no means the kind of person who is tied up. ”

Zhou Yu was slightly stunned after hearing this: "Why did Qiao Qing say this, could it be that Su Shi has other conspiracies?" ”

Qiao Chu sighed: "Has Your Highness ever thought about why the Qianqiu Treasure Bank wants to make money with usury?" ”

"Lending requires principal, and the financial resources of the general's mansion naturally cannot support the Qianqiu Treasury, so Su Shi had to make money with usury."

Qiao Chu pondered: "Before the Dongyuan Reservoir fell, it was reasonable for Su Shi to use usury to make money. However, in the past ten days, Qianqiu Pledge Bank has once again collected more than 10 million taels, which has far exceeded the scale of its lending, and it has no intention of stopping, which is incomprehensible. ”

Zhou Yu was also silent for a while after hearing this, and he really couldn't figure out why Su Shi wanted to gather such a huge amount of money.

"Qiao Qing has a clue?"

Qiao Chu replied: "It's really hard to guess the intention of Su Shi's move, and the lower officials don't know. However, it should not be long before the plan is known. ”

Zhou Yu hurriedly asked, "Why is Qiao Qing so sure?" ”

Qiao Chu said lightly: "When this decree was passed, those who deposited the money in the Qianqiu Quarantine's Treasury knew that the Qianqiu Quarantine's Treasury was no longer profitable, and the result would definitely be to go to the Qianqiu Quarantine's Treasury to get back the money. ”
