Chapter 58: Opening Turmoil (6)
Most of the people who were besieged at the door were worried that the money they had saved would be lost, and when they heard Kong Jian'an's words, they were all relieved, even if Yuanqi Bank closed down, the Thirteen Banks would not close the door, what were you afraid of? It's a big deal to find the thirteen lines to withdraw money!
Just when people's hearts were floating and ready to disperse, Yan Shikuan shouted in a loud voice, "Such a good money bank, you all have to ban it, is there any royal law?" Is there a heavenly principle? ”
If this sentence is a hornet's nest, Yuanqi Bank absorbs small deposits at high interest rates, and regardless of the object, as long as you deposit in Yuanqi Bank, you can borrow at low interest, it is indeed a good money village that has never existed, and there has never been such a money bank before, even if there is such a money bank, now it is finally a good money bank, but it was seized by the government as soon as it opened, which is really infuriating.
The crowd that had just been pacified immediately became agitated, and they all scolded the unscrupulousness of the government, and the crowd was excited for a while!
Someone excitedly took off the straw sandals and hit the soldiers, everyone followed suit, and for a time all kinds of straw sandals and linen shoes flew all over the sky, and the scene was out of control in an instant!
Kong Jian'an hurriedly jumped out of the chair and hid in the house, and a group of soldiers also retreated into the house, and hurriedly closed the door.
No one in the angry crowd wanted to impact the Yuanqi semicolon, seeing that the door was closed, they were a little dazed for a while, seeing this situation, Zhang Shixin, who was watching the excitement, was clever, and shouted, "Go, go to the yamen to comment!" Why was Yuanqi Bank seized? ”
The crowd in the midst of excitement roared away like a flood had found a breakthrough, leaving a mess in its wake.
Looking at this situation, Kong Jian'an's face was pale, his hands and feet were weak, he knew that today's disaster was a big one, not to mention that Yuanqi Bank could not be good, even the thirteen banks were afraid that they would all be implicated.
Yan Shikuan was also very surprised, and after being stunned for a while, he came back to his senses, and wanted to follow him, but the little guy next to him hurriedly pulled him and said, "Young master, I'm afraid that something big will happen, let's just follow from a distance to see the excitement." ”
Zhang Shixin smiled proudly, and followed all the way, only one gathering to make trouble, it was enough for Yuanqi Bank to drink a pot, and I was afraid that even the thirteen lines would have to follow to eat.
The head office of Yuanqi Bank is in Xiguan, Xiguan is under the jurisdiction of Nanhai County, the crowd who went to complain went forward for a while, came back to their senses, and turned back, flocking to Nanhai County, Yuanqi Bank's three measures can be said to be deep people's hearts, along the way people continue to join in, and there are many people who look at the excitement and follow the coaxing all the way, and the crowd is getting bigger and bigger.
Yuanqi Bank General Number, Backyard.
Listening to the little guy's report, Yi Zhixin couldn't help but be shocked, he never thought that things would come to this point, he was not afraid of making things bigger, but he didn't want to stir up a group incident, things really couldn't end up, the people suffered losses, Yuanqi Bank and the Thirteen Banks didn't have good fruit to eat.
Things have reached this point, and they have completely lost control, and after a little hesitation, he said in a deep voice: "The general number and the branches that have not been seized are all closed, and they will be closed for half a day." After speaking, he commanded again: "Prepare a small sedan chair immediately, and I will rush to Nanhai County." ”
The news spread to the bank mansion, and the shopkeepers of the various ticket numbers were all happy, and immediately scattered, Yuanqi Bank caused such a big mess, and it was the Guangzhou prefect who came forward to seize it, and I am not afraid that Yuanqi Bank can still turn the sky!
The shopkeepers walked away in a blink of an eye, Liang Jiemin shook his head a little speechlessly, stood up and said, "Let's go, let's go to Nanhai County to see the excitement." ”
Selling Ma Street, Liangguang Governor's Palace.
Qi Gong, the governor of Guangdong, who was obviously blessed, hurriedly entered the governor's palace, he was a jinshi in the first year of Jiaqing, successively served as the director of the Criminal Department, Henan Grain and Salt Road, Zhejiang according to the inspection envoy, Guizhou political envoy, the right servant of the Criminal Department, and the governor of Guangxi, Daoguang was transferred to the governor of Guangdong in 13 years, and he has been in Guangzhou for five years.
When he entered the signing room, he caught a glimpse of Wu Bingjian's seat, and he reacted, what was the matter with the Governor's urgency to summon him, and after bowing down to salute, he asked directly: "The Lord of the Ministry summoned the officials to come, but for the matter of Yuanqi Bank?" ”
Deng Tingzhen said with a smile: "Zhu Xuan doesn't need to be formal, sit down and say." ”
"Master Xie." After Qi Gong thanked him, he slowly sat down and said in a deep voice: "Yuanqi Bank has greatly increased the interest rate on deposits, reduced the interest on loans, maliciously competed, and disrupted the market, so that the whole city was panicked by the ticket number money and pawnshop printing bureau, and the people were panicked. ”
Yuanqi Bank has been seized? Deng Tingzhen glanced at Wu Bingjian quietly, he didn't care about it, he could not only seal it up, but also unseal it, this was just a matter of one sentence, he groaned slightly, and then he smiled and said: "Zhuxuan's seizure of Yuanqi Bank is for the sake of official debts?" ”
The so-called official debt means that the government officials at all levels, from the governor's yamen to the prefectures and counties at all levels, all have varying amounts of 'breeding silver taels' for lending money for profit, but the general amount is not large, and the governor's treasury of Guangdong is considered rich, and the 'breeding silver taels' used for lending are only 70,000 or 80,000 taels of silver.
"It's not just for official debts." Qi Gong said in a deep voice: "It's also for the sake ......of local tranquility, not to mention the ticket number of the money village, just say that there are more than 400 pawnshops in Guangzhou, if you don't seize Yuanqi Bank, all pawnshops will close down." ”
"It's been said, it's been said." Deng Tingzhen said with a smile: "Yuanqi Bank is a low-interest loan, but it is a deposit and a loan of two, and it is necessary to deposit first and then lend. ”
Seeing Deng Tingzhen's obvious protection of Yuanqi Bank, Qi Gong was secretly surprised in his heart, although he didn't want to be unhappy with the Governor, but the influence of Yuanqi Bank was really too great, so he had to bite the bullet and say, "What about Qianzhuang?" ”
"I was about to talk about the bank." Deng Tingzhen said: "Yuanqi Bank wants to unify Guangzhou Qianzhuang. As he spoke, he looked at Wu Bingjian and said, "Chengzhi, you tell him." ”
After listening to Wu Bingjian's narration, Qi Gong didn't say anything for a long time, the benefits promised by Yuanqi Bank are indeed too tempting, disaster relief, fundraising, minting silver dollars, increasing income by tens of thousands of taels every year, clearing the debts of thirteen merchants, he can't be moved, there may be losses in official debts, but it is not big, compared with profits, it is nothing, the problem is that so many money banks have collapsed....
"Your Excellency." A Goshha reported loudly outside the door: "Because the Guangzhou government's seizure of Yuanqi Bank aroused the dissatisfaction of the people, thousands of people in the city went to Nanhai County to complain about their grievances, and Nanhai Zhixian County urgently asked for help." ”
Hearing this, Deng Tingzhen's face sank, and he said, "Yuanqi Bank is so bold? ”
