Chapter 131: Age of Madness (2)
Xu Ping straightened out his robe belt and said to Wang Yaochen: "Let's go to Jianchun Gate and take it away, it's been very lively there recently!" After a year of hard work, now that it's time to bear fruit, I have to go over and take a look. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Wang Yaochen said with a smile: "Yunxing has been busy with official business recently, and he has gone out less often, and I have been there a few times!" β
While speaking, the two went out of the yamen of the transfer division together.
As soon as he went out, Tan Hu hurriedly ran over and handed over a letter and said: "Du Cao, when Sun Wei left Henan County, he wrote this letter, saying that it must be handed over to you. β
Xu Ping took it, opened it casually and looked at it, it was nothing more than regret for his gaffe in front of Xu Ping yesterday, and hoped that Xu Longtu would have a large number of adults and not remember the old evils. Xu Ping saw it and received it in his sleeve.
Wang Yaochen shook his head and said, "This Sun Wei is disrespectful in front of you, and he really loses the dignity of a scholar!" Why did he write a book again, is he still unconvinced? β
Xu Ping shook his head: "Bo Yong thinks badly, Sun Wei is evil, not stupid, he can always think things through." Coming to this letter is nothing more than an apology for yesterday's faux pas, one is not to offend me too hard, and the other is to let me know that he understands the grievances. β
Wang Yaochen nodded when he heard this, and smiled: "In this way, he is really not stupid!" β
Yesterday, Xu Ping's treatment of Sun Wei was quite heavy, but the face of the scholar was still reserved for him. Sun Wei fell to this point, first of all, he was entangled with the officials of the branch department who pretended to be sick and made trouble, and was arrested by Wang Yaochen. The place is the place, and the authority of the state and county must be guaranteed, and if he offended Wang Yaochen and Sun Wei, he became a loner on Jingxi Road. The most important thing is that Tong Dalang's absconding left a huge deficit, and if he doesn't fill this deficit, no one can support Sun Wei. In the end, there was no choice, Director Tong used his life to block the mouths of a group of debtors, but whether he could block it or not, he said.
Although the person in charge of the family and the person who helps in the business in the store are all called supervisors, they are very different in nature. One is just a pure employment relationship, doing things for a day and getting paid for a day, and the master and servant are just customary concepts, which are not applicable in law. There is also a kind of living with the master, taking care of all chores, and many times directly representing the master, which is the real master and servant.
Director Tong is undoubtedly the second type, and in law, his relationship with Sun Wei is "cohabitation and common wealth". Using the legal relationship of Xu Ping's previous life as an analogy, the most common "cohabitation and common wealth" relationship is husband and wife, and the joint debts of husband and wife obviously will not be relieved by the death of one party and the other party. Since Director Tong is a slave of Sun Wei's family who "lives together and shares wealth", even if he dies, the debt should be recovered from Sun Wei, and he is not so easy to get out.
Xu Ping only demoted Sun Wei's official, but did not break his home, which is clear to everyone who is an official, and he still leaves room for him. When facing each other, Sun Wei has always been worried about being chased for his remaining debts, and because of his personality, he has always been unruly and unruly, so he never bows his head. Xu Ping ordered him to leave the city before dark, which was of course a punishment for him, but also a precautionary measure to prevent him from being entangled by creditors. Now that he is leaving, he must write a letter to Xu Ping to explain that he knows this. If you don't do even a little bit, you're really stupid, and there's no cure for stupidity.
In this era, it is not uncommon for customs officers to be dealt with by slaves who are involved in joint and several relationships. Wang Mengzheng's son Wang Qixiong killed the veteran, under the pretext that it was a slave in the family who killed him, and Cheng Lin's statement was that "the slave has no self-control, and makes the order the same as his own offense." In the end, Wang Qixiong was ordered to be removed.
The master cannot blame the slave for his own sin, and the joint relationship cannot escape. Xu Ping deliberately let Sun Wei go because he wanted to teach the people who invested money to Tong Dalang a lesson, so as to preliminarily rectify the financial order. As for those branch officials and powerful families who have suffered losses, there is no such thing as the imperial history to give them a head, so they can only suffer this dumb loss.
Riding a horse with Wang Yaochen, bringing Tan Hu and a few other entourages, Xu Ping came all the way to Jianchun Gate.
At this time, the sun is three poles, the street of Jianchunmen is crowded, the traffic is busy, it is as lively as the Great Xiangguo Temple in the capital.
Dismounted in front of a tea shop, Tan Hu led the horse to the side and tied it, Xu Ping said to Wang Yaochen: "It's only been a few days since I got here, why is it so lively?" Has this been the case every day lately? β
"How can this be done every day? It's getting more and more lively day by day! Wang Yaochen sat down on the stool and unfolded the folding fan in his hand. I didn't feel much about the cotton in the first few days of entering the city, but since the cotton cloth was woven and began to be sold, the city was like boiling water, and it was about to catch up with the capital! β
Xu Ping sat down opposite Wang Yaochen, looked at it for a while, and asked, "How many places in the city are like this?" It can't be everywhere. β
"Jianchun Gate here, mainly merchants from the east and north, plus spinning, weaving, printing and dyeing, clothing making and other industries are all here, the most lively. The second is Changxiamen, where merchants from the south come, and cotton is also transported from there, and the freight yards are all there. Elsewhere, it's not so obvious. β
Xu Ping said: "Then you have to be more careful, places with many people from other places are most likely to have accidents." Especially these people who come to Xijing City to do business, they have a lot of money on them, and they are easy to be targeted. β
Wang Yaochen said with a smile: "Thanks to the blessing of the money bank, most of the transactions are now delivered in the money bank, and the people who do business do not have much money on them, and there is a lot less chaos." Fuli and the county are still concerned, and the city is still calm. β
"That's good, the establishment of a money bank is for the convenience of trading, and everything else is secondary."
Wang Yaochen sighed: "It's good that your money is set up, but there is one inconvenience, and there are some tricks." β
Xu Ping was taken aback: "Which one is inconvenient?" I've never heard you mention it beforeβ"
"Money, now the transaction is delivered in the bank, the goods are shipped out, and the county has also collected taxes, but there is no money, only a number on the account of the bank! Although I also know that the money is indispensable, I am always panicked when I am not in my hand! β
Xu Ping smiled and waved his hand: "How can you be like a rich man in the countryside, you have to see the yellow and white to feel at ease!" As long as you don't miss the money, you don't lack money for anything, why do you care about that! β
"Yunxing, I can't help but care! Now the merchants from other places, those who carry gold and silver light goods, most of them are using flying tickets. I sell cotton cloth in Henan Province, not only can I not see copper coins, but the money on the flight ticket has to go in a lot! How much cotton is sold now? The ticket of Kaifeng Mansion already owes me hundreds of thousands of dollars! Fortunately, now there is more cotton, and the silk is not a light goods, plus this one, all the surrounding states and counties are owing money to Henan Province! β
Merchants all deposited copper coins in the local area, and received flight tickets to exchange at the destination, and Xijing City was the place where they came to redeem. In the past, the scale of the transaction was small, and there were contacts and could not be felt, but now cotton cloth is a large transaction, and every day because of the exchange of tickets to other state capitals, Henan Province does not know how many copper coins are out, and there is no money Zhuang, and now Wang Yaochen has gone bankrupt.
