"Your Majesty, Li Qi has been taken down!" Lan Yong said to Zhu Yuanzhang: "Li Qi prepared a fast boat in Liujiagang, and he planned to flee to the Japanese country, but fortunately, we had already deployed, and Zhang Lao personally took action and arrested Li Qi, please send it down!" ”

Zhu Yuanzhang's old face was blue, his clenched fists slammed the table, and he spit out two words from between his teeth: "Tongyu!" ”

Although during the longevity ceremony, Liu Chun's tossing has made the Wa Kingdom choke enough, and the two sides have also begun to trade, Lao Zhu also gave a gold-plated brand, but like Li Qi, fleeing in fear of crime and trying to hide in the Wa Kingdom is still a capital crime, and it is still the kind that still wants to destroy the nine clans!

Lao Zhu was furious, according to his temper, he should have done it a long time ago, he was stunned to wait for so long, especially in disguise, seeing Li Qi's arrogant appearance, and hearing the bold words. Lao Zhu didn't tear him apart immediately, and it was a fluke to be able to live to this day.

"Immediately escort him to the city, cut him with a thousand knives, and execute him with Ling Chi!"

Lan Yong hurriedly agreed, and was about to turn around and go down to do it.

Liu Chun came in from outside, and he walked quickly in front of Zhu Yuanzhang, "Your Majesty, the minister thinks it's not too busy to kill Li Qi now." ”

Lao Zhu squinted at Liu Chun and rushed angrily; "What do you mean? Shouldn't Li Qi be killed? ”

Liu Chun hated and said: "Of course Li Qi deserves to die, life and death are all decided by His Majesty's words." It's just that the minister thinks that it should be based on the affairs of Suzhou. ”

"Suzhou? What else? Banks? "It seems like it's the only big deal.

"Hmm!" Liu Chun said: "At present, the silver deposit in Suzhou Qianzhuang has been exhausted, and there are still a large number of people running outside. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang snorted, "This matter was started by Li Shanchang and Li Qi, I took all their father and son, and then confiscated the property of more than a dozen merchants, and used this money to compensate for the losses of the people and appease the people's hearts, right?" ”

Liu Chun shook his head slightly, "Your Majesty, the minister thinks it's just that I'm afraid it's inappropriate!" ”

"What's wrong?" Zhu Yuanzhang stood up suddenly, and suddenly shouted angrily: "Liu Chun, do you still want me to pay from the treasury and wipe their butts for them?" I didn't! Even if there is, it won't come out, don't think about it! ”

Lao Zhu snorted angrily, joking, his internal money has been emptied, if he is asked to cut the meat again, there is really no way, then he can only copy your Liu Chun's family property to fill the shortfall, anyway, I will not pull out a dime!

"Your Majesty, the minister has carefully studied these days, Suzhou Qianzhuang does not have a very good investment channel, and the interest they promised is actually achieved by absorbing new deposits and over-issuing banknotes."

After this period of baptism, Lao Zhu also basically figured out the tricks of the bank, he gritted his teeth, "So, Suzhou Qianzhuang is a scam?" Is it the conspiracy of the Li family and his son to coerce Suzhou? ”

"Your Majesty is wise, indeed!"

"Phew!" Zhu Yuanzhang smacked Liu Chun fiercely, "Stinky boy, it's all your fault, it was you who suggested that I get some bank, so that Li Shanchang, the old fox, learned it, he backhanded the game in Suzhou, made such a big deficit, and made Suzhou chickens fly and dogs jump, you, how did you let me end?" ”

Lao Zhu sprayed Liu Chun's face, and refused to let him go, "You immediately think of a way now, if you can come up with a way, I will pardon you for your innocence, if you can't come up with a way, I will kill you and Li Qi together to calm the anger of the people of Suzhou!" ”

Liu Chun is wronged, Zhu Yuanzhang, your old thing is really ruthless and unjust.

I'm doing things for you, how can I be compared to Li Qi?

Liu Chun is angry, but he also knows that now is not the time to be angry, and the surname is Zhu, don't think that the master has no idea, there is a pit, wait for your old man to jump into it!

"Your Majesty, now the people of Suzhou are panicked and the situation is in chaos. The minister thought that the chaos and the great rule were a godsend for reorganizing Suzhou's financial order. Suzhou silk is famous all over the world, prosperous business, goods all over the world, the crown of the south of the Yangtze River. There was a huge demand for money, and in the past treasure money fluctuated too much, there was a shortage of gold and silver, and the value of copper coins was too low, all of which were not suitable for settlement currency. Nowadays, the new currency is already very popular in the capital. If it can be promoted to Suzhou, the entire Jiangnan will accept new currency. ”

"The Royal Bank is owned by His Majesty, the growth of the Royal Bank is the growth of His Majesty's wealth and strength, and the money earned by the bank is also His Majesty's, and the minister feels that the Royal Bank should be allowed to intervene in Suzhou and make money for His Majesty!"

Hearing about making money, Zhu Yuanzhang's mood improved a lot, but his face was still ugly.

"Didn't you say before that the Royal Bank's financial resources are limited, and it is not appropriate to take too big steps, it should first set up a branch in Beiping, and now it is going to intervene in Suzhou, what if it exceeds the strength of the Royal Bank?"

Liu Chun said with a smile: "Your Majesty Shengming, the Royal Bank should have waited a while, but now the opportunity is rare, Your Majesty can push the boat down the river and achieve this!" ”

"How do you push the boat down the river?"

"It is to take over Suzhou Qianzhuang, let Suzhou Qianzhuang become a branch, and resume business. As long as Suzhou Qianzhuang is back up and running and returns to its previous situation, it will be fine. ”

It sounds easy, Zhu Yuanzhang nodded slightly, but hesitated: "To put it simply, didn't you say that Suzhou money was squeezed, and so many people chased after it for money, don't they all admit it?" ”

"This ...... The arrears still have to be repaid, and if they don't admit it this time, there will be a next time, which will hit the people's confidence in paper money hard, and the Royal Bank will have a lot of trouble if it wants to enter Suzhou in the future. So this time, for the sake of the long-term plan of the Royal Bank, His Majesty must also take action to save Suzhou Qianzhuang, which is the most important! ”

Zhu Yuanzhang thought for a while, and suddenly frowned, and sure enough, the fox tail was exposed!

"Yoo Chun! How dare you deceive me! Zhu Yuanzhang asked sharply, "What you said is good, turn around, don't you still let me pay the money to wipe the butts of the Li family father and son?" Who have I become? Is your kid's money bag? I, I'm going to kill you, and I'm going to make you die a miserable death! ”

His Majesty the Emperor is red-eyed, Liu Chun, a rabbit cub, again and again, took money from him, try to ask the entire Ming Dynasty, is there such a bold courtier?

This little rabbit cub is even more angry than Li Shanchang and Li Qi combined!

Kill! Be sure to kill!

"Your Majesty, please allow the minister to finish the words in his stomach before he dies." Liu Chun said pitifully.

Zhu Yuanzhang snorted angrily, "Speak!" ”

"Your Majesty, Suzhou Qianzhuang has no deposits, and has a lot of debts, facing a run. But there is a very important thing in Suzhou Qianzhuang, that is, tens of thousands of depositors! ”

"Your Majesty, please think about it, wasn't it because the Royal Bank was unable to absorb depositors' deposits that it was difficult to operate in the first place? Now Suzhou Qianzhuang has passed the most difficult hurdle, as long as a little money, along with the purchase of Suzhou Qianzhuang's shares, to be transformed, you can become a branch of the Royal Bank. ”

"Your Majesty, the Suzhou Money House can absorb the deposits of silk merchants and salt merchants, and as trade with the vassal kingdoms increases, it can also absorb deposits from maritime merchants. According to the most conservative estimate, the value of Suzhou Qianzhuang is also more than 10 million. Your Majesty only needs to give one or two million to stabilize the overall situation, and the property of tens of millions will not fall into your hands, the minister is really for the sake of His Majesty, the minister is sincere, why should Your Majesty doubt the minister, the minister, the minister is even more wronged than Dou E......" Liu Chun said, and touched his tears, looking really sad.

Lao Zhu also calmed down and pondered carefully, it seems that Suzhou Qianzhuang really can't be abolished.

When he came to Suzhou, he saw thousands of people, crazy crowding, crowds, how terrible...... In case this torrent rushes towards the imperial court, it will not be good.

It seems that this money really can't be spent...... But what's this called, I came from the capital to send you money?

The more Zhu Yuanzhang thought about it, the more he felt wronged, and the more he thought about it, the more angry he felt!

"Liu Chun, you ask me to pay the money, and I can give the Royal Bank an order, but the question is if you can't clean up the mess, what should you kid do?"

Liu Chun frowned slightly, what else can I do, it's a big deal to learn from Li Qi, get a ship to go to sea, don't worry, I won't go to the Japanese country, I will cross the Pacific Ocean, go to the Americas to be the emperor of the soil, and then lead the Indians to colonize Europe and carry out a great counter-killing...... In the end, I only left a small reservation for the Europeans, and as for Thanksgiving, it depends on my mood.

Liu Chun was slightly stunned, and hurriedly said: "With the support of His Majesty, how can there be any reason not to succeed?" The minister thought that His Majesty should return to Beijing immediately, and officially issued a decree, announcing that the imperial court would go all out to maintain the stability of Suzhou. ”

"Just one will, that's enough?"

"Your Majesty's decree is naturally extraordinary. However, the minister also has a suggestion, that is, from the first to the fifteenth day of the new year, the bank will suspend trading. Set aside half a buffer period, and the minister will definitely do things satisfactorily and properly. ”

Listening to Liu Chun say this, Lao Zhu realized that he had taken the time to come to Suzhou for several days, and it was not far from the New Year, and he should indeed return to Beijing for the New Year.

"Alas, it's not easy for you to stay in Suzhou! This year, you kid has done a lot of things, and he has also been scolded a lot. Of course, I scolded you for your own good, and you are not allowed to complain. If you dare to be dissatisfied with me, then next time, I won't scold you, I will kill you! ”

Lao Zhu suddenly smiled and said: "Since you can't leave Suzhou, I will give your father a holiday and let him come over, and your father and son will have a reunion year and have a reunion dinner." Go back and wait for you to clean up the mess of Suzhou Qianzhuang, and I will give your father a marriage. Of course, if you have the ability, I would like to give you a marriage sooner. ”

Lao Zhu waved his hand at Liu Chun and asked him to go over with his ear.

Liu Chun could only be obedient, and Lao Zhu said in a low voice: "Xu Miaojin's girl, as well as Lan Yu's baby daughter, don't fall into the eyes of money all day long, don't you think about it all day, can't you really cook raw rice and mature rice!" Anyway, I support you, and they don't dare to do anything to you! Set a lifelong event early, this is the right thing to do! ”
