Chapter 1162: Once Defeated
The next day, Cui'er came in and said, "Uncle is here, Mrs. asks Miss to go out." ”
Lu Shufang, who was being teased by Qin Suqiu for talking last night, pretended not to care and said, "What are you calling me for?" Just ask the eldest brother to accompany you. ”
Cui'er explained: "The eldest young master has a guest and has to pack his luggage, so please ask the young lady to accompany him." ”
"Got it." Lu Shufang agreed, but her body didn't move, so the three girls teased: "Go quickly, Hugh has asked my brother-in-law to wait for a long time." ”
Lu Shufang smiled, and only after a long time did he come out and enter the courtyard next door, where his mother Jin was talking to her son-in-law. Xu Kun looked at his wife, who had not seen him for a day, and today he was wearing a purple pearl Han dress, and the white satin plate on the cuffs of the placket was embroidered with palindrome swastikas, and the whole person seemed to be happy, with a shy look on his eyebrows.
He naturally didn't know that most women like to compare, this time Guining, Lu Shufang has both face and lining, and some dissatisfaction with him is gone, although there is still a little regret, but no one is perfect.
Lu Shufang first asked her mother for peace, and then sat down beside her mother as if she was not smiling at Xu Kun, the corners of her mouth slightly curled.
The beauty of a moment made Xu Kun's heart itch, and the wonderful scene of immediately performing Zhou Gong's gift with his wife became a monkey anxious.
As a person who came over, the Jin family laughed, the more affectionate the little couple was, the more relieved she was, thinking about the situation when she first got married, her husband was young and excessive, and he almost had a thought, which cares day and night? But when I get older, I can have sex once or twice a month, and I already have to burn high incense.
Facing her husband's fiery gaze, Lu Shufang subconsciously lowered her head, and suddenly found Jin Ju and the others hiding behind the screen and peeping, and immediately blushed and was a little embarrassed.
Jin asked, "I heard that there is good news for my in-laws, but I don't know if it's accurate?" ”
"Ugh." Xu Kun was asked in a clear sense. Busy Zhengse replied: "My father was ordered to train troops in Henan last year, but due to delays, the commander has already been appointed." Yesterday, the Ministry of War ordered my father to inspect the major barracks in Gyeonggi, and he was about to leave Beijing today, so the son-in-law did not dare to sit for a long time. ”
As soon as the words fell, Lu Shufang's eldest brother Lu Xu walked in, the two said a few words, Xu Kun glanced at his wife reluctantly, and said goodbye to the Jin family.
Lu Xu, who didn't know what to do, said: "What's the hurry? Why don't you have lunch? ”
"Let the son-in-law go." Jin explained a few words on his behalf, and said, "Don't worry. Send Shufang back early tomorrow morning. ”
Seeing that it was a serious matter, Lu Xu sent Xu Kun out immediately, then hurriedly went back to the room to change his clothes, and also rushed to Xu's mansion to see him off, and did not come back until the afternoon.
As soon as he entered the house, Lu Xu said, "Mother! Oh no, do you know that Chengguogong Zhu's family is broken? ”
Kim was taken aback and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" ”
"I don't know what to do." Lu Xu sighed, "At that time, the fourth master was busy leaving Beijing. didn't go into details, only said that he was impeached by the thirteen imperial histories, probably not pleased, and now Cheng Guogong has been dismissed and returned to Beijing to listen to training. I don't know if I can keep my title. ”
"Oops!" Jin suddenly became anxious, "Then the silver that our family put in his place has to come back quickly." ”
Lu Xu rubbed his hands and said: "I'm also anxious about this, but fortunately, the Zhu family doesn't know about this case." It seems that all the gold and silver stored in the Xu Mansion were entrusted to Master Xu San. If there is a good one, Cheng Guogong has no children, and probably the property will be handed over to the third master. I can't talk about this at this moment, in short, our family will ask the Xu Mansion for this money. ”
"It's a good country, how can you say it?" Kim was puzzled, but he was no longer worried that the silver would be gone.
When Lu Xu came out, his wife wanted to go back to their hometown to take care of everything according to the plan, and they couldn't come back for a while.
The couple went to the courtyard next door to say goodbye to their sister, and specially explained a few words to Qin Suqiu, asking the Qin family to take care of their own house, and wait for him to come back to thank him, and even ask Qin Suqiu to take care of the trivial matters at home, Qin Suqiu agreed.
Lu Xu said to Jin Ju again: "I went to the tent just now to bid farewell to my maternal uncle, his old man is busy, and he asked his sister to confess his guilt when he goes back." ”
"Yes." Jin Ju also agreed.
Lu Xu turned around and said a few words to Shi Zuoqin asking for attention, and Shi Zuoqin also nodded.
In the study of the Xu Mansion, Mu Yun and Qin Cheng and the others all arrived, Xu Hao frowned and listened to them.
What happened without warning was also caused by Xu Hao's negligence in this regard. It turned out that with the establishment of the Qian Zhuang Bank by the Xu family, it was inevitable that all parties would follow suit, and the Zhu family opened a large silver village no less than the scale of the Xu family.
Therefore, it is the most basic financial thing, and there is no stock market or anything, so Xu Hao did not take it to heart, in fact, he has no way and ability to carry out macro intervention and construction, so many silver villages began to compete disorderly, he is very strict with his own silver villages, the problem is that he can't manage other people's silver villages.
The Zhu family relied on the dukedom of the country, and the business of Yinzhuang expanded rapidly, almost all over the north and south of the river in just ten years, but the Zhu family itself was in chaos, lack of supervision, and all the aunts and aunts had ghosts in their hearts.
In the end, Xu Hao weighed it again and again and decided to let the next development continue, after all, there was no manipulation and interference by foreign forces. To put it bluntly, he still only knows a little bit about financial knowledge, and can only go with the flow.
At this time, the Zhu Mansion was completely messed up, and the Xiao family, who came to visit, saw that a room was crowded with people, the aunt and the two young ladies, and the wife of the Zhu family was crying in a mess.
Xiao said: "Don't cry, don't mess up, the sky hasn't fallen yet." ”
Mrs. Zhu cried and said, "What else is there to say? ”
Xiao Shi frowned and said: "Our family is a martyr, this son is on fire, naturally it is not good-looking, not to mention that it has to go through the ministerial meeting and the court meeting, and there will definitely be a turnaround when the will comes." ”
"You don't know, ma'am." Mrs. Zhu sighed, pointed to a stack of letters on the table, and said miserably: "Yesterday, Beiping came to expedite eight hundred miles, saying that the gold number over there had fallen, and the branch of Henan, Hebei, and Shandong had escaped, and I don't know how much silver money was stolen by the guys." Then I received the Zhu Jiayin number from Songjiang Mansion, and the dozen semicolons in Jiangsu and Guangdong were also completed. There are also Hubei Fufeng, Hunan Yongkang, Fujian Hongyu, and Sichuan Deji, and the four silver numbers are also forced to crumble. Even the three families in Jinling couldn't support it, and they were flocked by the people to extract silver. Alas! There was a deficit of millions of taels of silver before and after, and public opinion was boiling, and this time my family was really in a catastrophe. ”
Xiao Shi suddenly gasped, only then did he know that the Zhu family was not only a silver number, but had opened so many families behind his back? No wonder the son had a wry smile on his face and a look of powerlessness.
What the bank is most afraid of is the run tide, Xu Hao has no intention of saving it at all, this is a very vivid financial lesson, so that people can see the fate of arbitrary operation. It seems that the most important thing for a bank is a good business reputation and sound financial regulations.
Xiao Shi hurriedly said: "At this time, I can't take care of it, quickly send out all the silver hidden in the house, and all the silver owed should be repaid." If it is not enough, the private savings of each house will also be sent out quickly, and try to make up for the holes, and if the people around the country make trouble, it will be really bad. ”
The wife of the Zhu family also knew the stakes, and hurriedly instructed the internal and external account offices to hand over all the account books and check all the property. I don't know if I don't check. I was shocked when I checked it, and those aunts actually had a lot of IOUs for heavy profits, which was a big crime.
Qianqing Palace.
Emperor Xuande Zhu Zhanji was furious, and the imperial history impeached Chengguo Mansion for twelve crimes. What is greedy, selfish and uncultivated, exploiting the small people, and the house slaves are acting recklessly. forcibly taking people's women, seeking money and killing people, and so on.
The criminal department discussed the crime after the imprisonment and beheading, but fortunately, it was millions of taels of silver. The Zhu family smashed the pot and sold iron to make up 500,000 taels, and the Xiao family forcibly withdrew 200,000 taels from Zhu Qiaoqiao's side despite his son's opposition, plus the help of the major princes and uncles, and reluctantly made up for it.
Xu Hao, Zhang Fu and others entered the palace to intercede on their behalf, and the emperor ordered to raid the house, and Zhu Yong was immediately sent to the frontier to serve. Zhu Yong's wife, who actually ran those silver villages, felt shameless and committed suicide at night.
In short, the title of the Duke of Guo is gone, but it can be inherited by Zhu Yong's eldest son from generation to generation, which is the bottom line of Xu Hao and other meritorious nobles, and it must not be destroyed.
Zhu Yong was not involved in rebellion, and Wenchen did not want to be enemies of Xu Hao and other meritorious achievements, so Zhu Zhanji took back the Zhu family's iron scroll Danshu.
As a result, Xu Hao has transformed from a person who cares about his family and country to a feudal aristocrat who only cares about his own selfishness, regardless of the family's door and gradually growing, and will become an obstacle to the progress of the country and the nation in the future.
For Xu Hao, what else can't be seen through when he is old? He is now also pursuing the prosperity of the country, because when the country is prosperous, his descendants will enjoy prosperity. As for the well-being of the Lebanese people? I'm sorry, Master Xu San, who enjoys the service of domestic servants and the people's fat and anointment, has long been disdainful.
The Criminal Department and Jinyiwei were ordered to confiscate the Zhu family, and hundreds of people searched out all the belongings, opened a list, and sealed the boxes and cages. Even if the Zhu family smashed the pot and sold iron, the amount copied out was still no less than 200,000 taels of silver, not to mention the goods that everyone transferred out in advance.
The waiter of the Criminal Department was secretly speechless, and did not speak up because he was entrusted by Zhang Fuzhi. Seeing that there was nothing forbidden on the list, he ordered most of the Zhu family's mansions to be sealed and moved out within three days, leaving only the main house and the inner garden.
In the blink of an eye, the wealth came to an end, and Mrs. Zhu and the aunts cried a lot, and some even fainted from crying. The trees fell and scattered, and the people surnamed Zhu scattered with their families and mouths, each looking for a way to survive.
Once the family was defeated, the disheartened Mrs. Zhu sighed: "Now our family can't afford to support these people, those who are willing to stay stay, and those who are willing to disperse will disperse." ”
Such a tragic scene, two generations of aunts have shed sad tears, in fact, who doesn't have a few small money to put outside? Except for a few of Zhu Yong's concubines, most of them had no intention of staying in the Zhu family to suffer and be widowed.
If they don't say it, can the wife of the Zhu family see it? At this point, I can't care about maintaining the dignity of my deceased husband and my deceased son, otherwise God knows what will happen to these old disgruntled girls?
So she called the aunts and allowed them to marry or fend for themselves, and the old lady was still looking forward to a miracle. As a result, including Zhu Nephrite's biological mother Lu, more than a dozen women knelt down and kowtowed without hesitation, and left overnight with their personal maids and subordinates.
The Lu family, who is bent on pursuing happiness, doesn't even want a daughter, and since he has committed adultery with his subordinates, he has already seen it.
However, Zhu Ruizhu's mother was reluctant to leave, and there was also a concubine Su, and the old lady knew that she had always been good-hearted. Seeing that Su couldn't stop crying, he nodded with tears in his eyes, and ordered to bring the roster of all his subordinates, and asked who was willing to be dismissed? As a result, most of the subordinates planned to fly away.
In the end, there were only a dozen big girls left, and there were only about 20 housekeepers left.
Within a few days, Mrs. Zhu, who didn't want to stay in Jinling, ordered the whole family to pack the few remaining luggage, hired a big boat, and prepared to return to her hometown.
Zhu Yong went to the frontier, and the second son Zhu Kui lost his spirit after being hit by this. Therefore, he asked the Xu Mansion to send someone to escort him back to his hometown, and the Xiao family agreed, and sent Xu Hai to take care of the Yiqiē, while Xu Hao quietly prepared the land and real estate for the Zhu family.
