Listening to Zhang Dingbian's words, Liu Chun felt that this guy might indeed be Zhang Sanfeng, after all, crazy words are not something that ordinary people can say, Lan Xinyue was so angry that her little face turned pale, wait for it, this girl must practice martial arts well, and when she has practiced well, she will give your old guy a transparent hole and let you talk nonsense!

Although Zhang Dingbian is unreliable, he is quite capable when it comes to business.

"You kid must want to know, how did the old man know that the person behind the Suzhou Qian Zhuang is the concubine Li Qi, in fact, the old man is staring at Li Shanchang, it's not been a day or two."

Since the eighteenth year of Hongwu, Jin Yiwei commanded Mao Xiang to set off the Hu Weiyong case again, so that this big case, which had been silent for five years, resurfaced.

Five years ago, Prime Minister Hu Weiyong, Imperial Historian Chen Ning, Zhongcheng Tujie and other high-ranking officials were all killed, and Hu Weiyong was wiped out of the Nine Clans.

It wasn't until five years later that people realized that the nightmare was far from over, and perhaps it was just the beginning.

In the eighteenth year of Hongwu, someone accused Li Cunyi, the younger brother of the Korean prince Li Shanchang, and his nephew Li You, colluding with Hu Weiyong to rebel. Subsequently, all kinds of accusations and reports are numerous.

The spearhead is Li Shanchang.

However, Mao Xiang's movements were too big, he was not thoughtful, he showed his feet, and lost his life.

Mao Xiang's death made the investigation of Hu Weiyong's case a lot less momentum, but with Jiang Zheng succeeding as the commander of Jinyiwei, the investigation began again.

As the head of the heroes, Li Shanchang is still their best goal!

"The merchants of Suzhou Qianzhuang were bribed with a lot of money in the early years and were privately released by Li Shanchang. With their hands, Li Shanchang amassed more than 200,000 taels of wealth every year!"

Zhang Dingbian told Liu Chun an astonishing news, if it is true, in the past 20 years, Li Shanchang's accumulated wealth is an astronomical amount!

"Does he really have that much money?"

Zhang Dingbian chuckled: "Who is Li Shanchang?" He knows how to collect money best, hundreds of thousands of horses and horses of military grain and grass, he can command like an arm, if he can stand on the side of King Han, maybe the world will not be Emperor Zhu! ”

Liu Chun automatically ignored Zhang Dingbian's crazy words, and it can be determined that Li Shanchang's financial resources are enough to support the operation of the bank. But the question is, why did he set up a bank?

To make money?

His old life is in jeopardy, and the accumulated family funds are likely to be unable to be saved, and he will continue to accumulate wealth, isn't that making wedding clothes for others?

"This old man can't figure it out, maybe he wants to wrestle with Emperor Zhu, right? Let yourself die a little hero! Zhang Dingbian sneered.

Liu Chun laughed, that's your Zhang Dingbian's idea, with Li Shanchang's old scheming, he won't be a reckless man! Obviously, Li Shanchang wants to use the bank to achieve some goals, so what will be the goal?

Liu Chun felt that he might as well ask himself, what was his calculation when he encouraged Zhu Yuanzhang to set up a bank, maybe Li Shanchang's thinking was the same as his own...... He wants to use this Suzhou money village to save his life!

Liu Chun gradually had an idea, "It seems that this is a big battle, and I have to show three points of energy!" ”

Zhang Dingbian was drinking water and sprayed it directly.

"Boy, what are you bragging about?" Zhang Dingbian knocked on the table and said angrily: "What kind of character is Li Shanchang?" Do you use three points of strength against him? I think you may not be able to get a bargain if you use 10 points! ”

"Hahaha!" Liu Chun laughed loudly, "Why don't we make a bet?" If I can easily solve Li Shanchang, how about you teach me to practice martial arts? ”

Zhang Dingbian looked at Liu Chun and snorted, "Stinky boy, you are not afraid of hardship, what does the old man have to care about!" But I'm just worried, you little fox, you can't fight that old fox! ”

"Then it's not for you old people to worry about."

……

"How's it going? Is there any movement in Suzhou? ”

Zhu Yuanzhang, who was busy with official duties for a day, rubbed his sore eyes, he was really a little old, and he was not so tired when he turned around before!

"Father, since Liu Chun arrived in Suzhou, there has been no movement except for depositing some money in batches." Zhu Biao groaned: "Erchen heard, I heard that he often goes out with Sister Xu to see the scenery, and also learns kung fu with Miss Lan, which is very happy!" ”

"Ridiculous!"

Zhu Yuanzhang was so angry that he jumped like thunder, "This little rabbit cub is really not a good thing." As long as he leaves under my nose, he is so relaxed and slack, he is simply a disgrace to the emperor! ”

What can Zhu Biao say, he also hopes that Liu Chun will stay in Beijing, with him, how much less scolding he can suffer!

"Father, I think Liu Chun has other arrangements, or don't disrupt it. After all, the bank was founded according to his advice, and he knows the key to it best. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang inhaled hard, muttered for a long time, and suddenly said: "No, I can't wait, I'm going to Suzhou!"

"Ahh Zhu Biao was shocked, "Father, do you want to visit Suzhou?" In what name? "The Son of Heaven is not a trivial matter, it must be prepared in advance, the momentum is huge, and it takes a lot of thought just to bring someone.

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "It's not so troublesome, Suzhou is not far away, just serve it." ”

"No, you can't!" Zhu Biao was frightened, "Father, the country can't be without a king for a day, my father has left the capital, what should I do with state affairs?" How should the official affairs of the yamen of various ministries be handled? ”

In the past, Zhu Yuanzhang personally went on a campaign, and he kept Zhu Biao to supervise the country, but if the old Zhu Weifu visited and Zhu Biao stayed in Beijing, his name was not right, and the hundred officials asked where the emperor went? How to say it. And once the emperor's whereabouts are revealed, will there be any accidents?

My father has always been old and steady, why this time, he was a little reckless.

Zhu Yuanzhang saw that his son was puzzled, so he said patiently: "The founders of the country have always fought on the battlefield, coming and going in the wind and rain, born and died, and only then did they have the foundation of the country." The descendants of later generations, born in the palace, do not know the sufferings of the people, are most susceptible to the bewitchment of the people around them, corrupt the ancestors into the law, make the country chaotic, and the society changes hands, you must not ignore it! ”

Zhu Biao hurriedly said: "My father is wise, this is the reason why my father established the ancestral system!" ”

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, "But I've seen everything, but this bank can't figure it out." However, the bank has endless wealth, implicating thousands of people, and once something happens, the consequences are unimaginable. I can't leave a disaster for my children and grandchildren, I must go to Suzhou myself and see for myself how much movement there will be! ”

Lao Zhu is well-thought-out, not hot-headed.

"You have to follow, too." Zhu Yuanzhang said to Zhu Biao: "Now immediately pass the decree, just say that the longevity ceremony, the ministers are busy and tired, after the ceremony, the autumn harvest is paid, and the various yamen are tired of running for their lives, the New Year is approaching, and the days of rest are ten days in advance!" While the officials are resting, let's go to Suzhou, remember, don't alarm anyone, not even that little rabbit cub, don't reveal the news, I want to see what kind of heart he is! ”

Zhu Yuanzhang governs the country strictly, which is reflected in all aspects, take vacation as an example, other dynasties have a mid-month holiday, and every holiday, there is also a rest, a year is counted, less than dozens of days, more than hundreds of days, the official's life is not too comfortable!

But when it comes to Emperor Zhu, how can there be such a cheap thing, every year there is only the Spring Festival, the winter solstice, and Lao Zhu's birthday, and three days off.

Later, the officials really couldn't stand it, they tossed so much every year, and they didn't even have time to marry their daughters-in-law and have children, didn't this make the big guy die?

After some struggle, Lao Zhu was finally moved, and he rested for half a month from the first to the fifteenth day of the new year every year. So at this time of year, officials are extremely busy, celebrating the New Year, visiting relatives, meeting friends, marrying wives, and having babies...... It's a lot of fun.

No one expected that Lao Zhu would be extraordinarily gracious.

But this year is an exception, stunned by the extra ten days of vacation, thank God, which Bodhisattva appeared?

The officials happily put down their heavy official duties, and one by one they were like birds out of a cage, completely unaware that their Emperor Majesty was coming to Suzhou day and night.

In order to alleviate the fatigue of the journey, Zhu Biao specially arranged for ships, they set off from Jinling, landed at Liujiagang in Taicang, and then crossed Taicang and came to the capital city of Suzhou.

Along the way, Zhu Yuanzhang paid attention to the people's livelihood along the way from time to time, and he found that on both sides of the road, there were mulberry trees, and there were a lot of carriages coming and going. There are many more hawkers, pushing wheelbarrows, hawking around, which is prosperous and lively. But it was very different from what he imagined.

What Zhu Yuanzhang likes is farming, farming to support his family, living a peaceful and stable life, and everything related to business makes him instinctively uncomfortable.

But there is no way, business just can't stop it, especially in the bustling city of Suzhou.

When they entered Suzhou City, the feeling was even stronger.

On both sides of the road, there are rows of shops, and everything from all over the world can be found. Pastries and dim sum, restaurants and restaurants, very lively.

Zhu Biao liked this feeling very much, and he secretly said to Lao Zhu: "It seems to be more lively than the capital!" ”

Lao Zhu just snorted!

At this moment, suddenly from outside the city gate, a horse rushed in, extremely fast, almost knocked people down, many people pointed and cursed, "What are you doing? Grab the hat of filial piety? ”

The people on horseback were panting and embarrassed.

"Bad, bad! One of our ships caught a storm and sank into the sea! ”

"What?"

The ship sank?

It doesn't seem to be a big deal, but it's strange if you don't sink the ship by the sea!

I just don't know how many people can live, and someone else has to do a funeral.

The people panicked for a short time, but soon calmed down again, but at this moment, the second messenger arrived!

"Folks, it's broken, it's a big deal, it's the ship of Suzhou Qianzhuang that has sunk, and a lot of silk and silver on the ship have sunk into the sea!"

"Ahh

This sentence frightened everyone.

Something happened to Suzhou Qianzhuang?

The most important thing is that the silver is still sinking?

So, what about our money?

What to do?

Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao, father and son were dumbfounded, they saw with their own eyes what kind of plague-like panic was...... Soon rumors spread that Suzhou Qianzhuang relied on trading with the Japanese to make huge profits in order to pay interest. Well, now the merchant ships are silent, and the way to get money is blocked.

If you go early, you may be able to get the principal and interest back, but if you go late, there will be nothing.

Just when everyone was at a loss, a news came from the Suzhou Mansion like a thunderbolt, exploding in the air.

The Suzhou government had already taken away 300,000 taels of silver in the morning.

The yamen have all taken action, they must have known the news in advance, this is a bitter pit! The originally busy and lively street was like a clean street, and all the people, like a demon, ran home, took the deposit receipt, and rushed to Suzhou Qianzhuang.

That momentum is simply like a tide, unstoppable.

Even Zhu Yuanzhang, who was accustomed to seeing strong winds and waves, couldn't help but accelerate his blood.

"Liu Chun, Liu Chun, you really put on a good show for me!"
