Chapter 343: Supervising the Royal Bank

In front of the Royal Bank!

The old Jewish man waited anxiously and kept looking around.

Now this group of Jews is desperate, and Fan Zheng's recruitment is their last hope.

Their country perished, many countries expelled them, and they could only wander around, because their branch was thousands of miles away, along the Silk Road to the Great Song Dynasty, and wanted to settle down in Kaifeng, but how difficult it was to survive in a foreign land.

Although the Song people are tolerant, but today's Great Song Dynasty is not the grand occasion of the Tang Dynasty, the Hu people are still rare, coupled with the continuous wars of the Song, Liaoxia and Xia Kingdoms, the Silk Road is often interrupted, and it is not easy to live in Kaifeng, which also makes the survival of this group of Jews extremely difficult.

If it weren't for their extreme unity and mutual help, they would barely live at the bottom of the Great Song Dynasty.

The Royal Bank is the center of the world's wealth, and the money deposited in it alone is worth tens of thousands, which will be a shocking wealth for the Jews who make a living in business, and if they can enter the Royal Bank, then their Jews will get out of their predicament.

Not to mention, Fan Zheng also promised them the opportunity to take the ships of the Maritime Silk Road to worship in the Holy Land in the future, which was also a temptation they could not refuse.

However, after a long time, Fan Zheng was nowhere to be seen, and a young Jew worried: "That noble man should not come!" ”

The old Jewish man at the head said calmly: "The reason why noble people are noble people is that they never do meaningless things. Since the noble man wants us to come here, it means that there is a place where we are needed. ”

When the Jews heard this, they breathed a sigh of relief.

However, a group of blond, blue-eyed, ragged Jews stood in front of the richest royal bank in the world, which immediately attracted the prying eyes of many people, and even the guards of the royal bank stared at this group of people with scrutiny, and as soon as they had any trouble, they immediately blew the alarm whistle and brought them to justice.

The Jews were on pins and needles, but no one left, they had already heard of the name of the evil doctor Fan Zheng, and they would not give up even one in ten thousand hopes.

A neighing of horses came,

At this moment, a carriage quietly stopped outside the Royal Bank, and Fan Zheng jumped off the carriage.

Seeing Fan Zheng's figure, all the Jews breathed a heavy sigh of relief, this time they made the right bet.

The old Jewish man stepped forward and said respectfully, "Michester has seen Master Fan!" ”

"I've been waiting to see Master Fan!" Behind Michester, more than a dozen Jews spoke in unison.

Seeing this, Fan Zheng nodded with satisfaction, and casually threw a thick household registration book to the leader of the Michester and said: "This is your Kaifeng household registration, from today on, you are a Song person, and you can live normally in Kaifeng City, but in order to go to the Great Song Dynasty household registration." ”

Michester couldn't help but be shocked, before that, the Kaifeng household registration was their dream item, but without the household registration, they had many restrictions, and even it was difficult to move an inch, and even because of the household registration, even Yizhuang was unwilling to help them.

Now the household registration they can't ask for was easily obtained by Fan Zheng.

"Thank you for your great kindness, the Jews will never be ungrateful!" Mitchstein led a group of Kaifeng Jews to bow deeply to Fan Zheng.

"This is a trivial matter, but the household registration of the Great Song Dynasty does not have a surname such as Stan, but the surname is in front, if you want to successfully go to Kaifeng household registration, you need to take a surname of the Great Song Dynasty with the Tang envoys of the past dynasties." Fan Zheng proposed.

This was the second step in Fan Zheng's preparation to assimilate this group of Jews, that is, as is the tradition of all countries coming to China to study, they would take the name of a Han Chinese.

Michester consulted with the Jews, and soon wrote his surname on the household register and handed it to Fan Zheng.

Fan Zheng took a look, only to see that this group of Jews actually wrote the surnames Ai, Zhao, Zhang, Shi, Jin, Gao and Li on the household register, and it was obvious that they also understood the tradition of not marrying with the same surname in the Great Song Dynasty, and prepared to intermarry internally to preserve the Jewish blood, which made Fan Zheng's third-step assimilation plan fail.

Fan Zheng didn't think it was impressed, he naturally didn't think that he would be able to assimilate the most conservative and stubborn Jews in a short period of time, and true assimilation would require the accumulated influence of Chinese civilization.

"Since you are willing to change, this official is also willing to support you, as long as you do your best in the future, you can come with me!"

Fan Zheng led a group of Jews into the Royal Bank.

The treasurer of the Royal Bank immediately stepped forward to greet him, looked at the crowd of Jews and couldn't help but ask, "Lord Fan, what are these?" ”

A group of ragged Hu people wandered outside the Royal Bank, which naturally alarmed the shopkeeper of the Royal Bank, and he was about to expel these Hu people, but he didn't expect that these Hu people were brought by Fan Zheng, the Royal Bank is the important place of the Great Song Dynasty, what use can these Hu people do.

Fan Zheng introduced: "These are the Jews of the Far West, the most proficient in arithmetic and business, the Royal Bank is the place where the wealth of the Great Song Dynasty is concentrated, it is inevitable that there will be people who are greedy for profit, this group of Jews know Chinese, and are proficient in arithmetic and business, responsible for independently reviewing the books of the Royal Bank." ”

"Ahh Let them review the Royal Bank? The shopkeeper of the Royal Bank couldn't help but suspect that the Royal Bank was so important, and Fan Zheng actually asked a group of outsiders to supervise it, which would cause an uproar if it was spread.

Mitchstan, it shouldn't be Amiche, he just gave himself a Han Chinese surname.

Amiche was also shocked, he didn't expect Fan Zheng to give them such a heavy task to review the entire Royal Bank.

"Like the officials of the Royal Bank, you will receive a minimum of five dollars a month, and if you perform well in your work, you will be rewarded with another." Fan Zheng turned to Amiche and the other Jews and said aloud.

The Jews gasped, such a generous reward was enough for them to survive in Kaifeng City, and they no longer had to wander around.

"Of course, Fan gave you a lot of money, and your task is also very important, money is messing with people's hearts, and the Royal Bank is the center of wealth in the world, there will definitely be people who will take risks, and your task is to find out everything that may damage the interests of the bank, even if it is possible, it must be sideways to the end." Fan Zheng said with a serious face.

Amiche said solemnly: "We will definitely live up to Lord Fan's trust!" ”

Fan Zheng shook his head and said: "Don't think it's so simple, countless people can take risks for money, when the time comes, you may be co-opted, even threatened, and even lose your life, it's too late for you to quit now." ”

Amiche and the others suddenly changed their faces, but they did not hesitate at all, and assured Fan Zheng one after another.

It was already extremely difficult for them to survive as a Jewish force, and in the face of such a rich fortune, they had to hold on to this opportunity, even at the cost of their lives.

Fan Zheng said again: "I heard that the Jews are trustworthy and abide by the covenant, which is also the reason why Fan is looking for you, once it is found that you have broken today's agreement and done something against the Royal Bank, everyone will lose their positions in the Royal Bank, and even the Jews will be deported." ”

"I'll understand!"

Amiche was suddenly shocked and bowed deeply to Fan Zheng.

The shopkeeper of the Royal Bank looked at the scene solemnly, in his heart Fan Zheng was the founder of the Royal Bank, but he forgot Fan Zheng's other identity, that is, the evil doctor Fan Zheng.

The appointment of Jews to oversee the Royal Bank was indeed an evil formula, but the evil method was immediate, and even the most respected Confucian could not guarantee that he would abide by his heart in the face of such a huge wealth temptation of the Royal Bank.

This group of Jews, who were proficient in arithmetic and business, and had no roots in the Great Song Dynasty, were the best candidates, and for the sake of the community, they would be a group of people who could never be bought, and no mistake in the royal bank would escape the eyes of these Jews.

"Alright, let's take them to work next!" Fan Zheng waved his hand.

"Yes!"

The treasurer of the Royal Bank, Awe, left with Amiche and the others, and he could foresee that the Royal Bank would definitely cause another storm.

Fan Zheng couldn't help but smile when he saw this, the appearance of the bank in Da Song was originally a premature baby, forcibly appearing in an inopportune era, and one day something would go wrong.

The Jews, on the other hand, were the most proficient in money and had no roots in the Great Song Dynasty, so they could only serve the royal bank conscientiously for the benefit of the community. In this way, it can not only allow the premature baby of the Great Song Dynasty Royal Bank to grow up healthily, but also take the opportunity to assimilate this group of Jews, so as to avoid the situation of doves occupying the magpie's nest in the future or controlling the economy of the Great Song Dynasty.

………………

Fan Zheng inserted a large number of Jews into the Royal Bank, which immediately attracted the attention of the court, after all, the Royal Bank was the cornucopia of the Great Song Dynasty, and the Great Song Dynasty itself was still heavily guarded, and suddenly let a large number of Hu people go to supervise the Royal Bank, which naturally made many officials suspicious.

"Qi Qi official family, Wei Chen impeached Fan Zheng for wantonly installing Hu people into the Royal Bank, I'm afraid he has ulterior motives!"

"The origin of these Hu people is unknown, how can they be reused."

"If it is not my race, its heart will be different, and it must not be guarded against, how can it be easily entrusted with important tasks."

……………………

All of a sudden, the court was boiling, and they impeached Fan Zheng for reusing Jews.

"Fan Aiqing, what is your explanation for this?"

Zhao Xu also asked solemnly.

After all, the Royal Bank is the money bag of the Great Song Dynasty, and it is related to his plan to dominate the world, so he naturally attaches great importance to it.

Fan Zheng stepped forward and arched his hand: "Qiqi official, it is the Royal Bank that has a great relationship, so it needs to be supervised by a third party. ”

"Third-party supervision?" Zhao Xu was puzzled.

Fan Zheng nodded and said: "The wealth experienced by the Royal Bank is too huge, no one can rest assured, and there are even people who rely on the power in their hands to get benefits for themselves, and the independent supervision of the third party can ensure the fairness and justice of the bank." ”

"Nonsense! The Royal Bank is all officials sent by the Ministry of Households, and they are all people of high moral character, so how can you be allowed to slander wantonly. Cai Jing scolded angrily when he heard this.

The Royal Bank is the top priority, and the New Party has been infiltrating the Royal Bank, and now Fan Zheng is openly questioning the officials of the Royal Bank, which naturally makes Cai Jing extremely dissatisfied.

Fan Zheng sneered and said: "This is a lot of money, there will be more in the future, the wealth is confusing to people's eyes, such a huge amount of money Fan will never believe in human nature, nor will he believe in a person's morality, including Fan himself." ”

Zhao Xu bowed slightly, he agreed with Fan Zheng's concept, even if he trusted Fan Zheng so much, he didn't feel at ease to put thousands of dollars in his hands.

The officials of the Manchu Dynasty were suddenly silent, and they naturally knew that what Fan Zheng said was reasonable.

Yang Weizheng Ling Ran said: "Since a third-party supervision is needed, then Yushitai is naturally the most suitable person, and there is no need for Hu Ren at all." ”

The new party covets the Royal Bank, and the old party is not, and the Imperial Historical Observatory is controlled by the old party, and now that there is an opportunity to meddle in the Royal Bank, it is natural that he will not let go of this great opportunity.

Fan Zheng shook his head and said: "The so-called third-party supervision, then it is necessary to ensure fairness and justice, Yushitai is still an official of the Great Song Dynasty, it is difficult to ensure that the officials and officials will protect each other, I am afraid that Yushitai will not be able to stand alone."

The officials of the Manchu Dynasty couldn't help but twitch, they didn't expect Fan Zheng to be directly above the court and openly talk about the protection of officials and officials.

"You're not ............." Yang Wei angrily reprimanded Fan Zhengdao.

"Okay, then I'll put it another way, that is, I treat the scholars well, the cost of officials making mistakes is too low, and no matter how big the mistake is, it is just to degrade Lingnan, so for the safety of the Royal Bank, I think the helpless and extraordinarily united Jews are the best choice for third-party supervision." Fan Zheng spread his hands.

Su Song came out in support and said: "The old minister thinks that Fan Zheng can give it a try. ”

Lu Dafang and Zhang Dian did not object, after all, it was a lot of money, and naturally the more insurance, the better.

Moreover, the use of Jews is Fan Zheng's evil method, and if something goes wrong, Fan Zheng can take the blame, and take over the Royal Bank.

"Accurate!"

When Zhao Xu heard this, he waved his big hand and said, he could doubt Fan Zheng's character in the face of thousands of money, but he would not doubt Fan Zheng's evil party, because Fan Zheng's evil side had never been defeated.

Sure enough, as Emiciet led a group of Jewish businesses to supervise the Royal Bank, they soon reaped a lot of results, and Fan Zheng's evil recipe was once again immediate.

This group of Jews understands that if they make a mistake once, not only will they suffer, but they will also be liquidated, and they have no way out, no chance to make mistakes, and one mistake will be lost.

With the Jews entering the Royal Bank, they quickly found a lot of bad debts and bad debts, and even premeditated fraud of the young people.

And the people in the shadows were indignant to find that, no matter how covert they were, they could not escape the eyes of these Jews, and in order to cover up the evidence of their crimes, they were coercive and inducement, which was their usual method.

However, in the end, it was found that these Jews were not moved at all, and even bribed them, but would become evidence of their own crimes, and even in desperation, some people jumped over the wall and directly killed a Jew, in a vain attempt to die without proof.

However, this immediately aroused Fan Zheng's vigilance, and Fan Zheng directly used more manpower and force to mobilize all the Jews to investigate, not only did he have nowhere to hide, but pulled out the radish and brought out the mud, which led to a big case. (End of chapter)
