Chapter 24 Candidates for the Administrator of the Money Bank
Qin Chuan's constructive thinking impressed all the clan relatives.
Who would have thought that he was the stubborn drunkard of the past, who would only indulge in the prodigal between women's skirts.
With such an idea, even if Emperor Taizu is alive, he has to applaud it.
Qin Shang and Qin Hui were speechless, not knowing how to refute it.
Everybody thought it was a good idea because they didn't have to do anything but sit back and reap the benefits.
The imperial court added a silver number, and the benefits were many times greater than that of private merchants.
Afterwards, Qin Buyi called Qin Chuan to the tea room alone, and he personally poured tea for Qin Chuan and handed it to Qin Chuan.
"Your Highness, I never expected that you would have such a mind."
Qin Chuan took the teacup: "Uncle has won the award." ”
"Hehehe, you don't need to be humble, if your father is still alive, he will be proud of you. It's just that...... Who do you choose to run this bank? The money village of the imperial court must have a special name. ”
"The name, I've already thought of it, it's called 'Bank'."
"Oh...... Yes, there are tooth shops, pawn shops, and medicine shops among the people, and the silver number is called 'bank', which also complements each other. ”
After a pause, Qin Buyi said: "The key is the person who runs the bank, this person has to be someone you can trust, and he must be honest, and he can't find corrupt officials, who do you think of?" ”
Qin Chuan put down the teacup with a smile and looked calm: "Guo Qilong." ”
What?!
Qin Buyi looked at him in disbelief: "Guo Qilong? You're kidding me. ”
Guo Qilong is the son of Guo Qiu, the secretary of the Ministry of War, and Guo Qiu is Zhou Dewei's confidant, which is obviously an enemy for himself.
Doesn't this mean that the silver horn was completely given to Zhou Dewei.
"Qin Chuan, what the hell do you think, how can you give it to Zhou Dewei's people?"
Qin Chuan was confident: "Uncle, it is precisely because he is Guo Qiu's son that I consider using him." Because Zhou Dewei's power in the court is too great, Lord Liu Zhongping is not capable of fighting against him, but Zhou Dewei is a man with more than 400,000 soldiers and horses. ”
"His advantage is the relationship with the military department, if you want to deal with Zhou Dewei, you have to slowly cut off his wings."
"As far as I know, Guo Qilong is addicted to gambling, owes a lot of money to gambling houses, and lingers among the wine all day long, such a person has too many weaknesses and is very easy to take advantage of."
"Guo Qiu has long been annoyed with him and won't pay him off his debts, because he is a member of the imperial court, and those people in the gambling house don't dare to force him too hard."
"So, at this time, if I give him a little benefit, Guo Qilong can become my wing. What will Zhou Dewei do once he finds out about this? ”
After listening, Qin Buyi's eyes had already emitted light.
This step-by-step plan, the depth of this city, even if Qin does not spare himself, he sighs to himself.
He was relieved that the Great Xia Dynasty could be regarded as a wise monarch.
is not only to love the people like a son, but also to regulate the clan relationship, but also to secretly accumulate strength and try to eradicate the ministers.
So many cumbersome and important things were said so easily by Qin Chuan, as if they were at ease.
Qin Buyi couldn't help but be ashamed: "Qin Fangjing gave birth to a good son, you are really a dragon and phoenix among people, hehehe, today's matter, the people in the clan are afraid that they will be persuaded by you, so you can rest assured and do it boldly." I will support you. ”
"Thank you, uncle, however, Qin Shang and Qin Hui don't seem to be satisfied."
These two are Zhou Dewei's iron loyalties, and it is even more difficult to get them to support Qin Chuan.
But it doesn't matter, the Great Elder of the Sect and so many people below support it, and it doesn't hurt to dig up the two of them.
……
The next day, at noon.
Qin Chuan walked on the streets of the capital, changed into civilian clothes, and followed by his personal guard Yao Cheng.
They came to the door of a gambling house.
This gambling house is very famous, it was opened by the famous boss of the whole capital, Black Whirlwind, up to the dignitaries, down to the peddlers and pawns, all like to come to play.
In ancient times, the place where men could entertain, except for the gambling house, was the Qinglou.
Yao Cheng: "Your Highness, this kind of place, how can you come here with such an identity, if you have any matter, even if you give an order, the last general will do it for you." ”
"There are some things, you can't do it, remember, call me Gongzi now, don't call me Your Highness."
"Yes...... The end will know. Did you bring 10,000 taels of silver just to gamble? ”
"Why, everyone else can play, but I can't?"
"This, if this is known to outsiders, the traitors in the court will definitely make a big splash."
Qin Chuan patted his arm: "Hehe, rendering is rendering, I was originally a light and thin prodigal, my reputation has long been stinky out of the capital, I'm still afraid of these, go." ”
Entering the gambling house, there is a miasma of smoke inside, all kinds of gambling tables, large and small, dozens of large and small.
Except for the capital, there is no such big gambling house in any other province, and the people of the three religions and nine streams are messy, and there are countless people who gamble bare-chested.
What he is looking for is Guo Qilong, he inquired before he came, Guo Qilong is a frequent visitor here, every time he comes, he pays on credit, and the boss here has long annoyed him, but in the capital to do business, who dares to offend the son of a big man.
On the table not far ahead, it was Guo Qilong, who took off his coat and was angry.
"I'm betting big!"
The person in charge of the gambling table on the opposite side had an embarrassed face: "Master Guo, you have already lost more than two thousand taels of silver, it's time to go back." ”
Guo Qilong squirted: "Horse, I'm afraid that Lao Tzu won't have any money to give?" Said to pay on credit first! My father is the secretary of the military department, and he can still do without your money! Hurry up! ”
"Master Guo said that he doesn't care about your gambling debts, you still ......"
"You step on a horse, the dog's eyes look down on people, my son has been tight recently, and when it is relaxed, I will give it to you, come again! Maybe Ben Gongzi can win it back! ”
"But ......"
At this time, the gambling house owner Black Whirlwind came.
The black whirlwind is five short figures, with a big beard and a split in his face, and a round waist with big shoulders, like a drunk.
He swayed over, pushed away the two people who were in the way, and put out a smirk: "Guo Gongzi, you have lost too much, according to the rules of our gambling house, losing five hundred taels is the highest credit, you can lose two thousand seven hundred taels of silver, and if it continues like this, my gambling house will not be able to open." ”
"Do you know who I am, you ride a horse?!"
Guo Qilong didn't have the style of a rich son, he stepped on the bench with one leg and picked his nose with his thumb.
Black Whirlwind nodded, his arms propped up on the table: "I know, but have you ever heard of a saying that you don't owe gambling debts if you owe debts, and you don't invite drifters when you treat guests." We don't dare to go to your house to ask for the money you lose, and we don't want you to pay back the money you owe, but you can't gamble anymore. ”
"You who step on a horse, look down on people!"
