Chapter 60: Opening Turmoil (8)
In the blink of an eye, the street in front of the county government became empty, and there was no one in sight.
Yi Zhizu walked quickly onto the street with a gloomy face, looked at both ends, and saw seven or eight figures crawling on the street, some were struggling, some were motionless, a team of officers and soldiers trotted in a neat formation, he was not scared, he stood aside, gesticulating to Yan Shikuan to close the door quickly, and there were many people hiding in the restaurant.
Seeing this situation, Yi Zhizu stepped forward boldly and said to the military attache who led the team: "My lord, there are many ...... who have been trampled on. β
"Want to save people?" The military attache looked at him with interest and said, "Go ahead, let's not care about those things?" β
Seeing that he was easy-going, Yi Zhishu asked casually, "Why don't you see someone send it?" "There is a cell in the county office, and it stands to reason that if the officers and soldiers arrest someone, they must be detained nearby, and if no one is escorted, Yi Zhixin can't help but be a little curious, so he asks casually.
The military attache smiled and said, "We are only responsible for dispersal, not hurting or arresting." β
Don't hurt or catch? Yi Zhi's heart jumped, and he hurriedly asked, "I don't know which adult's order your ministry is under?" β
"We are the Inspector Battalion, who else can we obey?"
It was an order from Deng Tingzhen, the governor of Liangguang! A sentence of not arresting or arresting is enough to explain Deng Tingzhen's attitude, Yi Zhixin was secretly happy in his heart, and hurriedly ran back to the restaurant, and said loudly: "No need to hide, come out, the officers and soldiers will not arrest people." β
As soon as I heard this, twenty or thirty people hiding in the restaurant suddenly appeared, and some people asked in disbelief: "Really don't arrest people?" β
"If you don't arrest it, the officers and soldiers are just afraid of gathering a crowd to make trouble, so they came to disperse." Yi Zhishu said and said, "Please also help send the injured people on the street to the largest pharmacy nearby, and Yuanqi Bank will be responsible for all expenses." β
"Are you really the big shopkeeper of Yuanqi Bank?"
"It's like a fake." Yi Zhishu said and turned around and instructed a few small servants: "You are divided into two groups, count how many casualties, treatment, and compensation, Yuanqi Bank has the responsibility to do ......." β
"The big treasurerβ." Kong Jian'an walked in quickly with a small servant, and said with a happy face: "It's okay for the big shopkeeper to be fine." β
Yi Zhishu caught a glimpse of the little guy behind him being Wu Changqing, and hurriedly said: "Shopkeeper Kong came just in time, and the aftermath here is still bothering you." β
The little guy stepped forward and bowed down and said, "Young Master Yi, the young master asked the little one to tell you that the matter is done, and the old lady wants to see you." β
Although he had expected from the attitude of the governor that the governor's palace was supportive, but after hearing this with his own ears, Yi Zhizhi was still in ecstasy, and in just one day, although it was a twist and turn, he still won the bet in the end! He patted Kong Jian'an on the shoulder excitedly, and said, "Notify the branch managers to go to the general meeting, and the branch guys will have dinner on their own, which can be regarded as a shock." β
Seeing that he was so happy, Kong Jian'an had already guessed, but he still asked, "Can Yuanqi Bank open as usual?" β
"That's right! Business as usual. Yi Zhizu said and walked out of the restaurant quickly, he was also anxious to know how much the Governor's Mansion would support Yuanqi Bank.
Yi Zhizu hurried back to the Yuanqi General Number, only to learn that Wu Bingjian was already waiting in the backyard, he hurriedly rushed to the backyard, as soon as he entered the room, he saw Wu Bingjian sitting on the main seat with a serious expression, he hurriedly took a few steps, bowed down, and said: "The kid is reckless, it affects Pinghu Gong, and I hope Pinghu Gong will forgive me." β
Wu Bingjian looked at him coldly and said, "Why do you have to hide it beforehand? β
Yuanqi Bank's opening move, Yi Zhizu hid from everyone, including Wu Bingjian, hearing his question so directly, Yi Zhizu raised his body to look at him, and said: "The kid is presumptuous, dare to ask Pinghu Gong, if you know these three measures in advance, will you allow it?" β
Wu Bingjian glanced at him and said, "Do you know what the most profitable business in the Qing Dynasty is?" β
Without waiting for him to answer, Wu Bingjian said directly: "It's not **, it's not tea, it's not silk, porcelain, cloth, cotton, etc., it's usury." The usury of the Qing Dynasty, from the imperial debt to the official debt to the business debt, from the royal family to the officials to the squire, from the capital to the poor countryside, is everywhere, and the measures of Yuanqi Bank are tantamount to challenging the entire usury system of the Qing Dynasty, do you think I will allow it? β
Is the Qing Dynasty usury so terrifying? Yi Zhi's heart is a little hairy, doesn't it mean that things are done? Is it a mess? Wu Changqing couldn't lie to him! Soon he reacted and said, "Your Excellency the Governor agreed?" But the interest on deposits and loans is restricted? β
Wu Bingjian didn't answer him, but asked, "Are you so sure that you can impress Lord Deng?" β
Yi Zhisuff smiled and said: "Although Lord Deng doesn't know much about finance and economics, he dares to do anything, and he may not be tempted by other benefits, but he must be interested in minting silver dollars. How can you not be tempted by the self-minted silver dollar? β
Wu Bingjian nodded and said, "Sit down." β
Seeing him give up his seat, Yi Zhizhi was very relieved, and only after thanking him did he sit down calmly, Wu Bingjian continued: "Absorb small deposits, low-interest small loans, Lord Deng is the ...... agrees." β
After repeating Deng Tingzhen's original words, he continued: "Small deposits and loans, benefiting the country and the people, is the foundation of Yuanqi's life, we must make a good plan, large loans, involving too wide interests, even if the situation in Guangzhou is special, we must also be cautious."
Another point, Guangzhou is a provincial capital, no matter how you swallow both, you can't cause local turmoil, Yuan Qi offended a lot of officials and gentry, I don't know how many people are waiting to fall into the well, don't give people a handle. β
"Juniors understand." Yi Zhixiang hurriedly bowed to his body.
Wu Bingjian bowed slightly, took out the remaining five 10,000 yuan tickets, put them on the coffee table, and said: "Your kid is a little bigger, remember, officials will never be fed, and the appetite will get bigger and bigger, how to send money, how much to send, this is also a knowledge, learn more in the future." β
Yi Zhixiang smiled and nodded again and again: "The kid must remember the teachings of Pinghu Gong." β
Wu Bingjian stood up and said, "Your preparation, Your Excellency wants to see you, and you will talk about it after these few days." β
Deng Tingzhen wanted to see him, which was naturally a good thing, but he had done enough homework, Yi Zhizhi nodded with a smile, sent Wu Bingjian out of the gate, and watched him get out of the sedan chair and leave, Wu Changqing, who had been stuffy like a gourd, smiled and said: "Okay, you are content, and you will hide all of us from the past." β
"Love has to be a last resort, love has to be a last resort." Yi Zhizu laughed, turned around and saw two small sedan chairs falling at the door, and when the sedan curtain opened, it was Kong Jian'an and Yan Shikuan.
Yi Zhifen hurriedly smiled and asked, "What about the casualties?" β
"Thankfully, no one was killed." Kong Jian'an hurriedly replied: "Twenty-three people were injured, nine of them were seriously injured, but there is no fear of life. β
Yan Shikuan interjected: "Fortunately, we evacuated a small half of the people, the street entrance was not blocked, and the officers and soldiers did not intercept it, otherwise it would be difficult to say." β
It's good that there are no lives, otherwise there will be a few lives when Yuanqi Bank opens, and it is really difficult to be content.
