Domineering Daming

Shi Bangyao sat on the chair without panic, and after thinking for a while, he said, "These are trivial matters. Will there be troubles in a while? How about the Royal Bank?"

The Royal Bank is not only the third-rank yamen of the court, but also one of the emperor's most valued institutions. If something happens, it will definitely be destroyed, and the sky will be thundered!

But these are still in the future. If the royal bank is run and goes bankrupt right now, the whole Nanzhili's money and grain operation will be affected, especially when all kinds of taxation are stagnant and the governor's office is short of money and food, the consequences will be unimaginable!

Wei Jinyu and Zhao Yaocheng are both Prime Ministers of Yingtian Mansion, and they still have at least some sensitivity. Hearing that his face was more worried, Wei Jinyu said: "The official just came back from there, there are hundreds of people waiting to exchange, and the number is still there. Increase, I went in and asked, the semicolons of the Royal Bank in Nanzhili are running, and the total may exceed 2000 million taels!"

Shi Bangyao opened his eyes sharply and said, "How much did you say?"

Wei Jinyu smiled wryly, and said: "This is still a conservative estimate. The people in the semicolon told me that someone planned behind this matter, and there may be more. There are currently less than 1000 million silver deposits in the provincial village, and the gap is quite large. Even with all kinds of loans, there may still be a shortfall of more than 1000 million..."

Shi Bangyao looked dignified and frowned.

The situation was more serious than he expected, such a large amount, let alone Ying Tianfu, even the Governor's Yamen couldn't afford it at this time.If the Royal Bank is run to bankruptcy, the subsequent impact will be unimaginable!

Shi Bangyao's eyes flickered for a while, and he said, "Is there any way to get everything together at the semicolon?"

Wei Jinyu shook his head and said: "They are vague, and the officials feel that they have nothing to do. If you give them ten and a half months to calmly allocate, it should not be difficult, but in such a short period of time, even the gods can't change so much money. "

Zhao Yaocheng went on to say: "If the royal bank is run out, the governor's yamen can't even pay the officials' salaries in Nanzhili, let alone other affairs. Now rumors are flying around outside, and people are panicking. Let alone ten and a half months, even three Two days can turn the sky upside down..."

Shi Bangyao stood up, looked at the two of them and said: "Now you all stay in Yingtian Mansion, don't make any trouble, I'll go to inspect the yamen."

"Yes!" The two said quickly, not daring to be careless.

When Shi Bangyao went to the governor's office, Fang Kongzhang's methods were quite fierce, and he carried out a large-scale dispatch to the Tianfu officials in one breath. The prefect was "promoted", and the Governor, Dali Temple, and Prison Division quickly advanced to the prefectural level.

The movement in the governor's yamen was astonishingly large and quite rare. In the turbulent Yingtian Mansion, which was turbulent like boiling, huge waves were stirred up, and the discussions were heated and turned upside down.

On the Qinhuai River, an exquisite, gold-encrusted, and ordinary-looking flower boat was swaying slowly.

Inside sat three handsome middle-aged men who looked like romantic talents, accompanied by three famous prostitutes, talking loudly, with hearty laughter, which spread far away, rippling endlessly on the waves.

"Right now, the entire Yingtian Mansion must be clean here. The Qinhuai River is still so relaxing..."

"That's natural. Don't look at the governor's yamen as powerful and supercilious. In fact, it is like the current imperial court. It is a castle in the air. As long as you hit the vital point, it will be vulnerable and it will collapse easily!"

"That's right, but it's a pity to say it. If Senior Dong Lin could see this, how could he end up in today's end..."

"It's not too late for us to find out. If the Yingtian Mansion is in chaos, it will inevitably affect the whole of Nanzhili. Nanzhili is the court's money and grain warehouse. If Nanzhili is in chaos, the court will inevitably be in a hurry. In addition, the prairie fire in Shaanxi has already become... "

"The foolish ruler must change course, restore the ancestral system, pardon Donglin, and the day when all the people will be prosperous is not far away!"

"As far as I know, hundreds of people have already prepared the memorandum and will send it to Fang Kongxuan at any time. These will appear in the cabinet soon!"

"I heard that Fang Kongzheng's movements are not small. This time, he rose up and down, and changed a lot of people..."

"What's the use of it? It works from top to bottom. Once the governor's yamen is replaced, everything will remain the same..."

"What I'm saying is, even if they try their best, it's futile, I'll just wait and see what happens!"

"Come on, this is my newly brewed apricot blossom wine. Come and taste it. We are here today. It won't be long before we can go to the capital..."

"Okay, let's make an exception and have a drink today..."

"Haha, I won't be able to drink this kind of wine in the future..."

"A great event can be expected..."

"Cheers to Daming!"

The three of them laughed and laughed, as if they had seen many wonderful scenes in front of them, they couldn't help laughing, and as the boat moved forward, waves stirred up.

The famous prostitutes who accompanied them didn't know whether they understood or not. They all smiled reservedly, poured wine for them, and occasionally echoed a literary remark, which attracted a lot of praise.

Although it's not red sleeves to add fragrance, it also has a unique charm. The laughter and laughter on the flower boat lasted for a long time.

On the Qinhuai River, famous prostitutes and talented women danced and danced endlessly, and romantic celebrities sang in harmony.Yamen at all levels in Jiangsu were jittery and responded quickly.The people were frightened like small animals and panicked.

Chapter 1063

Ying Tian's mansion became a mess, and everyone was involved.

The sky will Huan Feijiu push to steal Mu Dastool locusts �

The Akabane Firm, which had been renamed the Royal Firm, was brightly lit, and Duke Zhang Guoji came out of it and left silently.

In the bedroom on the east side of the third floor, Bumbutai gently rocked the cradle, and there was a white and tender little guy with his eyes closed, sleeping.

Su Mo'er walked in quietly, and whispered behind her: "Madam, is Your Highness asleep?"

Bumbutai smiled, stopped slightly, looked at it for a while, made a gesture, and quietly left the room.

Su Morer then said: "Ma'am, my grandfather said that the Wa Kingdom is willing to pay tribute to the imperial court to express their admiration for Daming."

Bumbutai sat down, with a tired face, and said, "I guess it's not that simple?"

Su Mo'er poured a cup of tea for Bumbutai, nodded and said, "Well, the Wa people hope that the imperial court will stop secretly supporting the rebels in Jiuguo Island, Shimabara and other places, and sever relations with Satsuma."

Bumbutai took a sip of tea and said, "What does the Lord mean?"

Su Mo'er said: "My lord said that Zuo Liangyu and Satsuma's behavior was too obvious, which aroused the vigilance of the Wa Kingdom. Their counter-insurgency war on Shimahara has stopped and they are under observation. , a strategy to weaken the national strength of the Wa Kingdom. Therefore, our side can agree, but the request can be raised, it doesn’t matter how high it is, it will be delayed first, and the imperial court also wants to see how the Wa Kingdom will respond.”

Bumubutai has been in business for so long, so he understands Zhang Guoji's meaning very well, and said: "Well, I will invite shopkeeper Tao to talk about it tomorrow. Money and food are the key points. First, we will set 500 million silver, 200 gold, and [-] million stones per year. For food and commerce, you can open a few points, and you must strictly limit the trading items and the scope of contact. For other things, you can ask the seven shopkeepers to discuss and get a charter."

Su Mo'er nodded, and said, "Yes." After the words fell, she hesitated to speak.

Bumbutai turned to look at her and said, "What else is there?"

Su Mo'er opened his mouth to speak, then sighed again, and changed the subject, "Ying Tian Mansion suddenly became chaotic today, prices skyrocketed, and all kinds of chaos happened. I heard that the governor's yamen can't pay the salary. There was also a run on the provincial number and local branches of the Royal Bank, which smacks of conspiracy."

Bumbutai shook his head, his face was quite calm, and said: "It's not surprising, those people on the Qinhuai River are not really addicted to wine and sex, they have been silent for several years, and it is normal for them to jump out and do something."

Su Mo'er frowned and said, "Ma'am, this incident is unusual. Nanzhili's money and food accounted for more than half of the national treasury. If it was really chaotic for half a month, the imperial court would definitely be alarmed, and many things would be tied up, especially the 'New Deal'." It will definitely be interrupted, and maybe it will affect the emperor's state affairs plan."

Only this time did Bumubutai feel that the matter was serious, and he thought for a while, and said for a while: "The problem of prices is easy to solve. As long as the governor's office operates a little, the price can be quickly stabilized. As long as the governor's office does not have any problems, these are small things. , the background of Nanzhili is deeper than we imagined, and the methods of the governor's office are more than we know, and it can be settled in three to five days. The crux of the problem lies in the royal bank, which is the governor's office, and the court's money bag. All the banks in Nanzhili have been run and bankrupt, and the whole of Nanzhili will really be in chaos, that would be terrible..."

Su Mo'er looked slightly startled, and said: "Then what should we do? If Nanzhili is in chaos, the emperor will definitely not let it go easily. Nanzhili will definitely be a bloodbath, and it may even affect the normal operation of Shenlong Mansion... "

Bumbutai shook his head and said: "Shenlong Mansion is mainly for the outside world now, even if the emperor angers Nanzhili, it will not have any impact on us. Fu'er will soon enter the capital, it's okay."

Su Morer was about to talk about this just now, and seeing that Bumbutai didn't react much, she felt relieved. In fact, she didn't care much about the chaos in Nanzhili, but the third prince's entry into Beijing.

"Madam, the shopkeeper Wu Da from Shengzhuang is here, please see Madam." A maid appeared outside the door and said softly.

Bumbutai was stunned for a moment, then sighed, "Please come to me."

Su Morer came to her senses and said in a low voice, "Then, shall we help or not?"
