Seeing that Deng Tingzhen was silent, Wu Bingjian was not in a hurry, he was calm and silent, at this point, it was over, the pros and cons of this had to be weighed and decided by himself, and interference and guidance were most avoided at this time.

After being silent for a long time, Deng Tingzhen spoke: "Can Yuanqi Bank's elephant be more gentle?" ”

Hearing this, Wu Bingjian's heart that had been hanging fell back into his stomach steadily, and he immediately bowed and said: "It's all up to the master of the department." ”

Deng Tingzhen showed a smile on his face, if he could be more leisurely and not cause local turmoil, this would be a great thing, although this move would cut off the financial path of many officials and gentry, but compared to the huge interests of Yuanqi Bank, it is really not worth mentioning, not to mention that this is still a good governance that is very popular with the people.

After a little hesitation, he said with a smile: "This matter can't be rushed, the headquarters will discuss it with the Qifu Yuan before it can be decided." As he spoke, he raised his voice and said, "Come on, hurry up and invite Lord Qi to come and meet." ”

Nanhai County, Guangzhou Prefecture.

The market commotion caused by the opening of Yuanqi Bank and the distribution of leaflets has long attracted the attention of Liu Kaiyu, the magistrate of Nanhai County, but after finding out that Yuanqi Bank was indeed opened by the children of the Thirteenth Bank, he pretended not to know about it in line with the principle that more things are better than less, and nothing happened anyway, but he still kept a close eye on the development of things.

Nanhai County is located in the provincial capital, and there are more officials than him who is the county magistrate of Nanhai, not to mention that the thirteen lines are not fuel-efficient lamps, all the merchants are officials, and the rank of the officials who donate is higher than that of his seven counties, which is fine, the problem is that the merchants are all hands and eyes, and the big thing can be stabbed to the governor, the governor, and the supervision of the Guangdong Customs.

However, Liu Kaiyu didn't want to cause trouble, but the trouble came to the door, and he listened to the report for a long time, and Zhang Shixin, the manager of the bank mansion, came to visit, he knew that the trouble was coming, and he didn't want to provoke the thirteen lines, and he also didn't want to offend the bank mansion, these people are inextricably related to local officials and families.

To put it bluntly, whether it is the incumbent official or the big families on the ground in Guangzhou, they have openly or covertly opened a pawnshop printing bureau with a ticket number, and the bank mansion is not something that he, a small seven-grade sesame official, can easily offend.

Zhang Shixin walked in quickly, and after seeing the salute, he didn't greet him, and said directly: "Lord County, the Yuanqi Bank opened by the children of the Thirteen Banks has maliciously competed and disrupted the market, which has caused a large-scale run. ”

Ban the branch of Yuanqi Bank? Isn't this self-catching lice on the head? Liu Kaiyu didn't dare to refuse him openly, so he could only be perfunctory, and immediately shouted: "Someone is coming!" ”

An errand officer hurriedly flashed out, bowed down and said, "What do you command?" ”

"It is reported that Yuanqi Bank has malicious competition and disrupted the market, so we will quickly go to find out."

"The little one obeys."

"Go and come back quickly, and don't disturb the people, and don't cause a commotion."

"The little one understands."

Zhang Shixin rolled his eyes, what does it mean not to disturb the people and not to cause riots? After the errand officer retired, he spoke: "Xiguan ticket number money village is piled up, and the involvement is wide, there is no need to say it clearly, if there is a run, causing turmoil in the market, the county lord, as a parent, I am afraid that it will not be able to shirk." ”

Liu Kaiyu listened with a smile on his face, if something really happened, he was responsible for it, but if he really sent someone to ban Yuanqi Bank, he was afraid that his trouble would be even greater, and he groaned a little before he spoke: "Steward Zhang came all the way, have you heard that there are rumors outside that the Governor went to Yuanqi Bank." ”

"Nonsense." Zhang Shixin immediately refuted: "Your Excellency the Governor has a lot of opportunities, how can he take a break to the small Yuanqi Bank? Such rumors, the county lord also believes it? ”

"Naturally, the official doesn't believe it." Liu Kaiyu still said with a smile on his face: "However, it is not difficult for the Thirteen Merchants to meet the Governor. After a pause, he continued: "Recently, Xingtai Bank owes more than 2 million debts to foreign businessmen, and it is a lot ......of uproar. ”

Seeing this situation, Zhang Shixin knew that this guy had the intention to shirk, and he was afraid that he would not be able to rely on the Nanhai County Government to ban Yuanqi Bank, so he had no leisure to listen to his nagging, and hurriedly surrendered his hand.

Out of the Nanhai County Ya, Zhang Shixin estimated that the Panyu County Ya was afraid that it was also unreliable, and he did not go back to the bank mansion, and went straight to the Guangzhou Mansion, only then turned to the bottom of the double door, he listened to a noise, opened the sedan curtain to see, but saw that the street was in chaos, he hurriedly got off the sedan chair and pulled a person and asked: "What's going on in front?" ”

"Yuanqi Bank has been seized!" The man dropped a sentence and walked away quickly.

Zhang Shixin was stunned for a moment, it was seized, who ordered the seizure? Shuangmendi Street is under the management of Nanhai County in the west and Panyu County in the east. He hurriedly hurried up to meet him.

When he arrived, he found that the situation was more serious than he expected, the branch of Yuanqi Bank was on East Street, which was the territory of Panyu County, and more than a dozen soldiers were blocked at the gate of the branch, and hundreds of people were surrounded by noisy noise.

Seeing that there were more and more people coming up around, Zhang Shixin was afraid of an accident, so he took a few steps back, and saw a young fat man scolding, and hurriedly asked, "People from Panyu County?" ”

This fat man is none other than Yan Shikuan, he is looking in with his feet stretched out his neck, scolding while watching, and when someone asks, he said impatiently: "The government office." ”

Yan Shikuan is in charge of investigating information outside this semicolon, and he saw a group of government service soldiers coming violently, he stepped forward to make a point, hoping to delay some time, but the other party took the money but drove him away, and after sending the little servant back to report, the more he thought about it, the more angry he became, but seeing the chaos of the situation, he didn't dare to step forward, so he only jumped and scolded on the periphery.

In the double door of Yuanqi Bank, looking at the chaos outside, Kong Jian'an was unspeakably worried, the semicolon was seized by the government, which means that Yuanqi Bank is finished, and after appeasing the shopkeeper and guys in the store, he said to the soldiers who led the team: "Official, it is easy to have an accident when there are too many people outside, can you let me appease them?" ”

"Who are you?"

"Below is the second shopkeeper of Yuanqi Bank."

"Heh, that's a good feeling, quickly disperse them."

Kong Jian'an lifted a chair, went out of the door, put the chair down, stood up and said loudly: "I am the second shopkeeper of Yuanqi Bank, everyone is quiet!" ”

He shouted in his voice, and the whole door immediately fell silent, and Kong Jian'an raised his voice: "Yuanqi Bank is opened by the children of the Thirteenth Bank, and it will definitely not hack everyone's hard-earned money!" Even if it closes down tomorrow, everyone's deposit will be refunded! And even if you calculate the interest for one month, Yuanqi Bank, reputation first! Please rest assured. ”
