"In Xia Shi Congbin, I came to withdraw all the silver taels stored in your account, a total of eight thousand three hundred taels. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ”

Shi Congbin entered the account bureau with difficulty, took out his silver ticket and sealed it, and handed it to the financial staff of He Yusheng at the counter.

The other party stared at Shi Congbin deeply, and began to verify the silver ticket seal and other things.

There were dozens of merchants around Shi Congbin who were waiting to withdraw the silver, and everyone's faces were anxious.

Since Shi Congbin was summoned by Wang Wenyan five days ago, after Wang Wenyan asked some details, he asserted that He Yusheng was not enough silver, and delayed the time to withdraw the silver to fold the transfer.

For Wang Wenyan, He Yusheng is a hard thorn that has been stuck in his throat, it is not cost-effective to take it if it really hurts his muscles and bones, but it is uncomfortable to put it in his throat, Shi Congbin undoubtedly brings an opportunity, and he does not need to make any big moves, it is enough to add a lot of trouble to He Yusheng.

Wang Wenyan didn't think that a group of businessmen taking silver would bring ruin to He Yusheng, the strength of this business house is so great, the depth of the layout has made Wang Wenyan feel terrible, those branches in the north should only be part of the source of interests for He Yusheng, but even if he can't kill He Yusheng, it is good to be able to make a small stumbling block for Zhang Han, who has always been proud of the spring breeze.

At least for Wang Wenyan, he didn't need any effort at all in this matter at the moment, he just hinted to Shi Congbin first, and then persuaded and encouraged Shi Kefa, and the situation in front of him appeared in front of Yusheng's account.

The big businessmen who heard the rumors gathered more and more, and small and medium-sized businessmen began to appear.

He Yusheng's Beijing account bureau is the largest, and the deposit of silver is also the most, and the businessmen who rushed over after hearing the news are of course the most.

Liu Ji and Li Guobin were both sweating profusely, and their expressions were very nervous.

They watched more and more crowds in the back hall, and Liu Ji said: "I don't know who made Shi Congbin release such a rumor, and the crowd together just can't be pressed anymore." ”

"Will the plan be released?" Li Guobin said: "Do you want me to go to the Five Cities Terracotta Division and try to 'suppress the order'?" ”

"Absolutely not." Wang Faxiang, who was sitting on the side, said: "If we invite the people of the Terracotta Division to drive the merchants away, tomorrow we and Yusheng's brand will be completely stinky." If you can't afford to pay the silver and collude with the government, our reputation and Yusheng's reputation will be completely stinky, who will dare to do business with us in the future? ”

Li Guobin wiped his sweat and said, "Yes, yes!" It's that I'm thinking wrong, and I'm in a hurry for a while. ”

Wang Faxiang said to Liu Ji: "How much silver is there here?" ”

"It's good that I just sent a batch of silver yesterday." Liu Ji smiled bitterly: "There are about 70,000 taels." ”

"The guy out there to take the silver, I just listened to the numbers and did the math." Wang Faxiang said: "At least 200,000 yuan should be taken, which is too far away." ”

"And we have to prepare for a run outside of the capital division." Liu Ji said with a calm face: "Jingshi has to prepare a maximum of 300,000 yuan, even Zhending, Baoding, Linqing, Dezhou, and then Kaifeng, and all the silver deposits should be more than 800,000 yuan." ”

Li Guobin said: "You don't have to prepare the full amount of silver taels, right? ”

Wang Faxiang retorted: "Lao Li, you are a little weak in trouble, it seems that you have not been stormy. If you were an ordinary merchant and we and Yusheng had insufficient silver to cause a run, would you leave the silver in our account? ”

Liu Ji said: "And this trend will definitely spread to Shanxi and Shaanxi, but that side is the foundation of us and Yusheng, the image is much stronger than in Zhili and Shandong, Henan, a little rumor may lead to a small amount of cash withdrawals in advance, but there should be no large-scale run." ”

"I've sent a cavalry to report to the military commander and ask them to prepare in advance." Wang Faxiang looked at the two people in front of him, in fact, the affairs of the account bureau had nothing to do with him, but he and the two people in front of him had a good relationship, of course he had to help if he could, and everyone was in the same boat, and it was really sunk, and it didn't do him any good.

The branches here in Jingshi are getting bigger and bigger, and the semicolons in many places in the north are controlled by the Jingshi side, and the greater the power of Liu Ji and Li Guobin, the more important the personnel on the Jingshi side is also rising, and the same is true for Wang Faxiang.

"It's the beginning of the Shen season." Wang Faxiang said: "Today, you can't use the method of making an appointment to delay, you can only come one to one, but you have to go through the formalities, delay the time, and strive to redeem about 70,000 yuan at most when it gets dark at night." We went to the Zhangjiakou account bureau overnight to transfer the silver, so we had to squeeze 180,000 yuan over, and we will talk about it tomorrow. Then, it depends on how the military department coordinates the promotion and arrangement. ”

"That's all it can be." Li Guobin woke up and said: "This time is really the biggest crisis since the establishment of He Yusheng...... Let's grit our teeth first! ”

The crowd of people gathering outside the store is increasing, and some people are already getting anxious.

Shi Congbin had the most people around him, and a bearded man said to Shi Congbin: "Brother Shi, I have always believed to you, is it true that this is not enough to Yusheng's silver?" ”

"Someone told me too." Shi Congbin hesitated, but still said: "It should be true!" ”

"That's good." The bearded man scrambled forward and scolded: "Hurry up and get Lao Tzu's silver, Lao Tzu belongs to the British government!" ”

"I'm from the Marquis of Funing's mansion, and I'll withdraw three thousand silver!"

"The copper coins below are to be used for the payment of salaries by the Liaodong Governor, a total of 31,000 strings, and the silver money paid in advance, please pay the copper coins as soon as possible."

"Pay five hundred taels in advance to buy ironware, and either pick up the goods today or return the silver."

Sure enough, it was not as expected by Liu Ji and others, there were more and more people, and the rumors became more and more evil, from the beginning of the tension of the silver book to the silver capital was misappropriated and transported away, the warehouse was empty, or the share capital was poured down, and Yusheng was only left with an empty shell, in short, there were thousands of strange rumors, the more and more they spread, at first there may be people arranged by Wang Wenyan to make trouble in it, and then it was a false rumor, and around dusk, hundreds of people have surrounded the store outside the store, and there are more people crowded over on Zhengyangmen Street to see the excitement.

Later, the Nancheng Terracotta Division really sent someone over, of course, it was not arranged by Li Guobin, but because the government was afraid of accidents, it could only send troops to suppress it.

As soon as the whip of the street was drawn, there were a lot fewer people watching the jokes, but there were still many people who came to ask for the goods and silver.

The commander of the Liupin Soldiers and Horses Division personally stood on the street to maintain order, originally this person was fed with Yusheng, but at this time he was killed and refused to enter the store......

"I'm afraid of getting wet." Liu Ji smiled and said: "If you want the goods, you will give the goods, and if you want silver, you will give silver, in short, the table cannot collapse, and the spirit will also be lifted for me." ”

The people in the account bureau are desperately playing abacus beads, and the accounts are not leaking, but it is as long as possible to drag out the time from the accounting to the cash, and the businessmen outside see that they are busy inside, and it is not good to turn their faces again, just watch the people of Yusheng and Yusheng carry the silver out.

Sure enough, according to the calculations of Liu Ji and others, after dark, more than 60,000 silver would be exchanged for the general, and some scattered small households were still hugging and not leaving, Liu Ji ordered to light lamps and candles, and work overtime to exchange silver for these small households.

……

Wang Wenyan is a scholar in the cabinet, he has no merit, in the cabinet of the scholar is divided into several kinds, and the unmeritorious scholar is just transcribed and transcribed, and he is just doing miscellaneous work in the cabinet.

Ordinary people have worked in the cabinet for ten years, and the elders may not know a few, Wang Wenyan is significantly different, he almost does not do any chores in the cabinet, every day is to watch the folds sent from all over the country, read it before pasting the yellow, and then make suggestions to Ye Xianggao and Han Yi and other cabinet elders, after the cabinet sticks the yellow, send the ceremony to approve the red, it becomes the official document of the state, and the six ministries and the temples, the governors of the provinces and even the prefectures and counties follow the implementation.

Many people secretly called Wang Wenyan "Xiaoge Lao", which was Yan Shifan's nickname in the court, and now it has fallen on Wang Wenyan's head, and the person who gave Wang Wenyan this nickname must have bad intentions, which can be regarded as a punishment of the heart, but Wang Wenyan not only did not mind, but on the contrary, he accepted it calmly.

This also attracted discussions: "Sure enough, it is a character like Yan Donglou, smart and changeable, but too arrogant!" ”

Wang Wenyan really doesn't care about these floating discussions, what he pays most attention to every day is the country's major policies.

"Elder Ge," Wang Wenyan entered the middle hall, turned east, entered Ye Xianggao's public house, and reported: "What's the matter with the summons?" ”

"I heard that you asked Shi Xianzhi's uncle to run on Yusheng?" Ye Xianggao knew the temper of this Donglin Party mastermind...... Wang Wenyan doesn't like to speak in a roundabout way, and likes to be straightforward.

"That's exactly what I was told." Wang Wenyan said calmly: "This matter is a rare opportunity to hit the door, Zhang Han hated me Donglin, and I planned the layout several times, and I have the opportunity to return the opportunity today, of course I will not let it go." ”

"The battle with the eunuchs is in full swing." Ye Xianggao smiled bitterly: "Now that he is dealing with He Yusheng again, will he be troubled?" ”

"It's already done below." Wang Wenyan said with a smile: "It's never wrong again, Elder Ge knows that he has some wisdom and strategy, and he will never be untargeted." In the past two years, I have been inquiring about the scale of Heyusheng's various branch account bureaus in Zhili, Henan and Shandong, and there is still a number of how much money they have deposited, and they have long been unable to make ends meet! ”

Ye Xianggao frowned and said: "He Yusheng can also be called the first merchant in the country, and his family is big, how can it come to this point?" ”

Wang Wenyan smiled and said: "Zhang Han fought so fiercely with the Beiyu in the north, even Qingcheng was captured, he said that he was lucky, and the Beiyu was weak and picked up a cheap, is Ge Laoxin?" There is no big amount of silver smashed down to raise soldiers, Qingcheng is so light in his hands? If he didn't hurt his feet, in order to reduce the trouble, Zhang Han would not have taken He Yusheng before revealing his back, since there is a shortage of silver, if he doesn't use it, it will be a pity to be in the future. ”

Ye Xianggao said helplessly: "Since this is the case, it's up to you, just don't delay the business." ”

"How could that be?" Wang Wenyan said proudly: "The left and right are just a businessman, and it's just a convenient thing." ”
