Chapter 471: Encircling the Cui Family
Wen Yanbo walked down from above with a face and asked one by one. Although the gentry and wealthy merchants present did not dare to fight against the prime minister, they were unwilling to get involved. All of them had retreated at this moment, including those who had agreed.
The business has achieved their own business, and few people are fools. They have seen the bank's strength, but the problem is that the economy in the northwest is in decline and the resources are poor, so the demand for banks is not so great.
Then, there was a major disaster at this time and millions of people were homeless. The court wanted to do a large project and use labor for relief. No one could be sure whether it could be accomplished.
Once they fail, should they use their wealth to fill the hole?
Take a step back, the bank has done it and the money has been made, can it be distributed to them?
These gentry and businessmen were all worried and unsure.
When the Royal Bank was established, many people did not agree with it.
Any new thing appears, and no one can do anything about it.
The businessmen in the northwest have a conservative personality and are afraid of dealing with the government. They cannot be changed in a day or two. The problem is that the northwest is so chaotic that there is no time left.
Wen Yanbo walked around, returned to Zhao Zhen silently, and shook his head.
Zhao Zhen took a deep breath and looked up at the sky. The sun was already westward.
"Telection to prepare dinner for everyone."
The little eunuch hurriedly and prepared it in a short while. It was simpler than the previous meal, with only one bowl of eight treasure porridge and two plates of side dishes.
These gentry and businessmen stared at each other, and some people were sweating at the forehead. They were not something that ordinary people could do.
Since you are allowed to invest, it is better to invest a little. If you want to invest 10,000 or 20,000, you can still afford it.
Some people wanted to compromise, but they were immediately rolled by others, making it clear that the court wanted to slaughter fat sheep. Who wouldn't hold on to it? Will it harm everyone if they can't hold on?
Anyway, we have time, so let's waste it!
Our uncle Zhao is also a good-natured person. After drinking the porridge with him, he actually gave a decree to let the singing and dancing artists come up.
Although Luoyang is no longer as charming as the capital of the Shrine, as Xijing, it has a large number of frustrated politicians and down-and-out literati, which naturally attracts many famous singers and prostitutes who deal with the literati.
Take Wen Yanbo as an example. He has a big beard, but he is still surrounded by himself, living a life of a god.
There is no way. The scholars of the Song Dynasty had high wages, had a good life, and were greedy for pleasure. Almost everyone was like this, without exception.
The team invited is the most famous Western Regions team in Luoyang. Several fair-skinned and tall women, like spiritual snakes, danced gracefully along with the music.
When the lights are on, they look particularly enchanting in the shadows of the lights.
The gentry and businessmen present gradually relaxed and saw the latest update. According to the principle, the palace was about to close and foreign ministers had to withdraw.
They wondered if Zhao Zhen should let go and leave quickly. This was probably the most difficult imperial meal.
At this moment, someone came to Zhao Zhen's ear and muttered a few words. Zhao Zhen finally smiled.
"All the wise men, you are very wise and worried about state affairs. I am very satisfied with the investment bank, and you will make a fortune. If you don't talk about others, I also have a Royal Bank. You must believe in your choice. Okay, I have no choice. Let Mr. Wen talk to everyone!"
After saying that, Zhao Zhen left without cutting off the stupid people, with his steps light and joyful.
...
The emperor left, and everyone present was stunned. When did we agree? Isn’t this a joke?
They whispered and talked a lot. Wen Yanbo suddenly shouted: "Don't argue anymore. I have a contract signed by your family here. Take it to check it out!"
Wen Yanbo immediately asked someone to take the appointment and distribute it. His old face turned into a chrysanthemum.
Speaking of which, Dasu’s idea is also unethical.
In name, Zhao Zhen invited everyone to the banquet, secretly Chinese, Liuyi students, and officials from Xijing. They divided their troops and directly found various families.
Tell them that your head has agreed to invest in Xijing Bank and has determined the amount of investment.
Wen Jifu had already figured out the background of these families. The price offered was completely within the tolerance limit of each family. It seemed a bit too many, but if you put it together, you can always get it.
The bright official documents registered the names of each gentry, with the amount to be granted at the back, and the seal under the Secretariat was covered with the seal under the Secretariat.
Not to mention the Song Dynasty, even in later generations, if you see this thing, your legs will become weak.
"Sir, why is there no autograph on this?" There was still a calm person questioning.
The responsible person sank his face, "I signed it myself, that's the official document! What should I do if I can't take it out? Cut your head? According to the number above, hand over a list of property. Should I invest in cash or a discount on the land store? Write it clearly. We need to summarize it and determine the equity distribution, so as not to delay the major affairs of the court!"
These people are not stupid. They have opposed the investment before. Why did the emperor summon him? They agreed and have to pay so much money! Everyone was upset, but the problem was that the people in the court were as anxious as the beacon, and they didn't give everyone time to hesitate. The head of the family was in the palace again... Most families had no choice but to make a list and sign and seal according to the requirements.
By the time it was all done, it was already dark. Su Shi grinned and was very proud. Only Lu Huiqing silently patted his shoulder.
"Brother, you will become the most annoying person in Xijing gentry in the future! Don't doubt it!"
Su Shi snorted, "Who said, I am helping them make a fortune! Xijing Bank will make a lot of money in the future, maybe they will thank me!"
After saying that, Da Su ignored them and hurriedly sent the list in.
When I saw the list, the gentry present stopped doing it.
"Mr. Wen, this doesn't count!"
"Yes, we don't know!"
"It's written on it, not a formal letter."
"Yes, yes, we won't admit it!"
...
These people were so verbally talking and wished they could tear the list.
Wen Yanbo sneered, "You just want to tear it up. Anyway, the court has already had a file. You are the first one in the world who dares to joke with His Majesty! It is not an exaggeration to deal with your crime of deceiving the king!"
These people were almost crying, "Mr. Wen, where have we deceived the emperor?"
"I still have the face to ask me!"
Wen Yanbo suddenly stood up, walked to them, raised a list, and said sternly: "Didn't you say you don't have money? Look, which one is less than 50,000 yuan? Hundreds of thousands of yuan, million yuan, and many more! It's really eye-opening!"
The gentry became even more unfair, "Mr. Wen, you are deceiving this, it doesn't count!"
"Don't count? Then I will follow the list above and confiscate all the property!"
In one sentence, all the gentry were suppressed.
Everything is fake, but those properties are real!
Da Su's move made these gentry and businessmen reveal their true colors, and they were all depressed, not to mention being too disappointed.
Wen Yanbo suddenly chuckled, "Everyone, I strongly advocated the establishment of Xijing Bank, and I also saw the success of the Royal Bank and wanted to catch up. You may not understand now, but after a few days, I will only be grateful to me and regret investing less. You all know that the Cui family is in chaos everywhere and even sent people to open the dam, causing more than a dozen counties to suffer disaster. They have committed a sin, and they deserve to be punished by God! The court will never let them go! Not only the Cui family, but those who collude with the Cui family are guilty of unforgivable!"
After changing the subject, Wen Yanbo said again: "However, the Cui family has been passed down for thousands of years and there are many people who have a relationship with them. So the court has its own accounts if they should be dealt with and who should not be dealt with. I believe that you are all good people. Even if you have a past with the Cui family, you have not been involved in major cases of rebellion and rebellion. You can take the overall situation into consideration, solve the problems of the court, and take a good move for yourself!"
The threat of red fruit!
Join Bank of Xijing, everything is easy to say. If you don’t join, you will be a member of the Cui family!
Ruthless, really cruel!
Wen Yanbo held the property list of each family, as if he was holding Tai Abao's sword, and he would cut down whoever he wanted!
These gentry and businessmen were finally stunned. Seeing that Wen Yanbo had taken the initiative, his tone eased a lot. "Everyone, I know you still can't figure it out and think I'm harming you. Then I might as well tell you that the Imperial Street opposite the palace is a good place with every inch of land. Your Majesty has transferred it to Xijing Bank at a low price. As long as it is done, the real estate on that street alone will be more than tens of millions of yuan! Don't worry, you can't lose."
In this way, he cheated, bullied the weak, threatened, and tempted all kinds of despicable tricks.
Finally, I collected enough 30 million guan of equity and absorbed 15 million guan of deposits.
With the funds in place, you can do a big fight!
...
"I really didn't expect that even His Majesty has changed. Are there a few good people left in this world?"
Wang Ning'an sighed for a while. With the establishment of Xijing Bank, no matter what, the northwest gentry mainly in Luoyang was pulled over.
Nothing for anything else, once Xijing Bank is over, their property will be wasted and no one dares to joke.
Now that things are ready, everything is ready, it’s time to start with the Cui family!
As Wen Yanbo said, the Cui family has created chaos and is willing to open the weir to anger everyone, and even their former allies can't stand it.
Moreover, Wang Ning'an and the Imperial City Department are not just a vain person. I didn't pay attention to it before and couldn't find out the Cui family's industry. Can I still run away with my heart?
With Qingzhou as the core, Wang Ning'an sent out his troops and attacked from multiple ways. The industries related to the Cui family were blocked, the land of the countryside was handed over, the school funded by the Cui family was closed, and officials who colluded with the Cui family took it directly. Those who participated in the destruction of the dam and weir were killed and executed immediately...
The whole process was as fast as lightning. Wang Ning'an took action, and Wen Yanbo was not polite. The gentry in the northwest should have the final say. What is the Cui family? He is worthy of being the emperor?
At the same time, Lu Huiqing was sent to Jingzhao Prefecture, Zhang Dun went to Weinan, Zeng Bu went to Huayin, Su Da was sent to Hezhong Prefecture, and Su Er went to Shaanxi...
They arrived at the place, recruited local villagers, repaired roads, and found a way out for everyone... The desperate people saw hope again. The people sent by the Cui family to instigate were actively caught by the people and sent to the government. The top and bottom worked together to attack. The Cui family's power melted quickly like the remaining snow in spring...
