One thousand and sixty one is not a simple thing
Royal Money House encountered a run!
Xu Jie looked solemn and didn't speak for a while.
He has been in the cabinet for many years and is well aware of the background of this royal money house. He also knows the importance of his in the court and in the emperor's heart.
Of course, the royal money house is extremely important to the Jiang and Su Governor’s Office, the Tianfu and even the Nanzhili. If something happens to the royal money house, the chain reaction will be extremely terrifying.
"Let's go and see Lord Fang." Xu Jie said silently for a while.
The senator and the chief officer also nodded and turned to the Governor Fang Kong's squad.
At this time, Feng Jiangfeng, the right-sponsor, was already in Fang Kong's class room and said: "Sir, just now, the news came from the Salt Science Department that the salt storage was contaminated and could not be used. Other places have also discovered that there may be no salt in the entire Nanzhili in the next half month!"
Fang Kong was watching the official ship sinking and was in distress notice, and heard this and said, "How should the Salt Department respond?"
Feng Jiangfeng frowned and said, "It's a continuous rain of plum rain, rivers everywhere are soaring, and there is a risk of breaking the dam. The official ship has sunk once. It's estimated that it will take at least one month to adjust salt."
Fang Kong put down the document in his hand, pondered, and said, "Let the Salt Science Department find a way. By the way, have you heard the news? Some famous scholars and scholars planned to build academy in Jishan, with as many as a hundred people?"
Feng Jiangfeng looked up at Fang Kong, with a thoughtful look on his angular face, and said, "Your Majesty knows... Sir, you still need to be cautious about this matter."
The "Donglin Party" is a three-word that the government and the public dare not mention and do not want to mention, but everyone knows the origin of the Donglin Party. Back then, Gu Xiancheng rebuilt Donglin Academy in Guishan, criticizing current ills and opposing party struggles, but thus developed the largest clique in the history of the Ming Dynasty!
The court now strictly prohibits formation of gangs and associations, and academies are very vigilant about some large-scale cultural and cultural associations.
The problem is that these people are not ordinary and cannot do anything unless they have to. Once they use strong power, there will be slight mistakes that will cause storms and rain in the world. It will be difficult for the governor's yamen to do, and the court will be embarrassed and will be in a dilemma.
Fang Kong thought for a while and said, "Well, you should stare and don't be careless. Also, this year's imperial examinations have some criticism on the Qinhuai River?"
Feng Jiangfeng's eyes flashed with a fierce look and he snorted coldly: "I heard that the Qinhuai River is now lively than a few years ago. There are more people in the gentle village who are rich and rich than in the past. He spends money like soil, and he doesn't know what night this year is. It's really ridiculous and hateful!"
Fang Kong sat there, thinking.
The nine bans in the court were not relaxed at all. At this time, they must be "excited" and "generous speeches". The most lively ones were the banks of the Qinhuai River.
Before Fang Kong could speak, Xu Jie stepped in, looked at Feng Jiangfeng, and said to Fang Kong, "Sir, this year's tax grain and tax silver have not been collected, and the royal bank encountered a run again. The official thinks that things are not simple."
Fang Kong's expression moved slightly and said, "What did you say? The royal money house was run?"
Feng Jiangfeng also turned to Xu Jie, his eyes slightly converging.
The silver from governments at all levels in Nanzhili, including the treasury, is transferred and stored in royal money houses. If this is run, not to mention the influence of the government and the opposition, I don’t know how much movement will be in Nanzhili!
Fang Kong looked at Xu Jie and said calmly: "What do you mean by saying it's not simple?"
Xu Jie actually had no evidence, so hesitated and said, "I think things are too coincidental. Some of the coincidences seem to be someone deliberately plotting behind the scenes."
Fang Kong and Feng Jiangfeng looked at each other, and the two were silent and did not speak immediately.
The confrontation between the imperial court and a large number of scholars was not a day or two. Since the current emperor pursued the concept of governing the country was completely different from that of the current scholars. It not only deviated from the ancestral system set by Taizu Taizong, but also challenged all aspects of "Confucian governance" and attempted to use "pragmatic" to provide another explanation. These will naturally not be recognized by the scholars, and the confrontation will not be held overnight.
"Sit down and say." Fang Kong thought for a while, and suddenly woke up.
Xu Jie and Feng Jiangfeng sat down, still looking at Fang Kong.
Fang Kong is Governor Jiang and Su, and he still needs to nod and arrange these things.
Fang Kong pondered for a while and said, "I did find some inappropriate evidence, but there is no evidence yet. Let's take a look first and don't move lightly."
Xu Jie nodded in agreement. This was a safe way. Jiangnan Shilin had the strongest foundation, and any rash move could lead to a more violent rebound.
Feng Jiangfeng has always been upright and will not compromise easily. He said with a slightly cold face: "Sir, the official is against it. If someone really controls this matter behind the scenes, it must be found out as soon as possible. Now the "New Policy" and other aspects are at the checkpoint, and the rebound in all aspects is very strong. If our governor's yamen is indifferent, we are afraid that more people will come out to cause chaos, obstruct the "New Policy" and destroy the national political plan! The official believes that the governor's yamen should use thunderous means and deal with some personnel decisively to avoid the situation from escalating!"
Fang Kong's expression shook, his body was straight, and then his eyes were sharp and his eyes were bright.
Feng Jiangfeng is right. The "new policy" is to sail against the current, and if you don't advance, you will retreat. If the governor's yamen is silent at this time, the rebound will be even greater!
Xu Jie was thinking about something, but he didn't speak. He had a very similar personality to Bi Ziyan, who was more secure and less pioneering.
After a while, Fang Kong said: "Okay, we will convene the heads of various departments and let's discuss it. Let's start with the appointment and removal of officials!"
Feng Jiangfeng stood up and said, "Yes, I'll go now!"
Feng Jiangfeng had long been unable to withstand the chaos of governments at all levels in Nanzhili, but he had been unable to make progress due to the insecure situation. This time, it could be solved at one time!
Xu Jie did not object, and Nanzhili's "New Deal" has indeed gone a little slow.
At the same time, Yingtian Mansion was a street across the Governor's Yamen, and the front of the Royal Money Branch of the Jiangsu Province was already crowded, and there was a long line of line.
"We want to exchange the silver, we want to cash the silver..."
"Give it to us quickly, don't delay, do you have no money..."
"What you promised at that time is here, and you can repay it at any time. Give us the money..."
"Don't delay, don't try to run away. Our money is hard-earned money, please give it back to us..."
Hundreds of people were shouting, crowded, yelling, and almost crazy.
The door of the money house was already crowded with people inside and out, waving silver notes, desperately squeezing inside, shattering the threshold.
The money shop has opened nine counters, and dozens of guys are back and forth in it, sweating profusely and busy.
A young man on the counter looked anxious and said firmly, "I don't want silver dollars. This is fake. I want cash silver. I want to deposit it in the past. The quality must be the same..."
"Yes, I want cash silver, don't have silver dollars, the quality must be good..."
"We are too. Don't fool us, hurry up and repay us, otherwise we will demolish your money house!"
"My fifty taels, don't there still interest? Hurry up and give it to me in one breath, hurry up, do you have no money anymore..."
The guy inside nodded repeatedly and said, "Okay, it's all cash, not at all. Don't worry, repay it, repay it immediately..."
The guy was dizzy and was already confused.
The account inside was also very nervous. Standing behind the branch owner, looking at the situation outside, he said with a sad face: "Shopkeeper, according to our current deposit of the bank, it will be exchanged for an hour. There are not many people outside, and we can't hold on. This is a big deal. The shopkeeper can make strict demands, and the credibility is the first..."
This shopkeeper is a relatively young man, only twenty-seven or eight years old. He is one of the first people trained by Fu Tao six years ago.
He was very calm and said, "How many more can each prefecture and county be transferred?"
The accountant shook his head and said, "People have been sent to ask for help from all over the country, and they have also runs in bankruptcy and are asking our provincial bank to support it."
The young man looked outside and thought silently, saying, "Are there any loans that can be collected in advance?"
The accountant still shook his head and said, "Even if there is, it won't be delivered in one hour."
The young man's expression did not change much, and he said for a while: "The tax bank should be coming this year, right? How much can the governor's yamen support us?"
The accountant smiled bitterly and said, "I just inquired, but most of them didn't collect them. I still wanted to borrow money from us..."
The young man put his hands on the shelf, and his heart suddenly moved, saying, "Go and see where these people's silver notes are from."
The accountant was stunned and said thoughtfully: "Shopkeeper, do you suspect that this run was not caused by rumors, but someone deliberately messed with us?"
Before the accountant could answer, a supervisor came over at the counter and said, "The big shopkeeper, don't have to look at it. Zhejiang, Jiang, Shanxi, Huizhou, and seven of them are theirs."
There are almost only a few business gangs in the Ming Dynasty.
The young man nodded understandingly and said, "Tell all counters, send messages to all places, delay time, and then borrow some from Huitong Trading Bank. Some of our old customers also open their mouths and hold on for a day. After a day, they can repay as much as they have to!"
The business network of the Royal Money House is extremely large. Even if someone manipulates this matter behind the scenes, it is impossible to cover up the situation with one hand, and it can still borrow a considerable amount of emergency response.
The accountant looked at him and said, "There will be silver in a day? Where will this silver come from?"
The young shopkeeper smiled and said, "These people have revealed some things. I'll go out and come back one day at most. You can hold on, the governor's yamen... don't disclose anywhere. By the way, have the secret notes of silver done?"
The account was a little unclear, so he said, "It's done, that, can you really have money in one day?"
The young shopkeeper looked confident and said, "Well, you support me, I will go out immediately, and let everyone in the world pay attention to the most lively people and write it down."
Seeing him like this, the accountant looked slightly calmer and said, "Okay, I will support you here, go early and come back soon."
