Domineering Daming

Bumbutai looked calm, and asked for a moment: "How much silver do we have now?"

Su Mo'er thought for a while, and said: "From last year to now, the profit of spices is 800 million, tea is 200 million, cloth, silk, porcelain, and other items are 500 million, and firearms are 700 million. There are about 300 million taels, plus the share of the various chambers of commerce, various rents, shop rents, boat rents, and some secret income, as well as deposits, etc., almost 2000 million, of which 1000 million has already ordered food, it is estimated that two It will arrive at the bank in about a month and has to be paid out.”

Bumbutai took a sip of tea and said, "Well, go see the shopkeeper Wu Da, let someone load the car, notify the guards of the government soldiers, and escort it to Yingtian Mansion, 2000 million."

Su Mo'er opened her eyes and said in surprise, "Madam, this is all our cash. If it is given out, there will be problems with our operation."

Bumbutai looked at her, and said with a cold expression: "First, it's not because he thought of this shopkeeper Wu coming to the door. Second, since he came to the door, I can't refuse. Third, if I can't refuse, I will Make sure to give enough silver."

Su Mo'er understood a little bit, but in the final analysis, she still had scruples about the emperor in the capital.

"Well, then I'll make arrangements and make arrangements as soon as possible." Su Morer said.

Bumbutai nodded, didn't care too much, sat for a while and then turned and went into the bedroom.

Her son is the third prince, half a year is coming, and he will be picked up and sent to Beijing soon.

The young man known as the shopkeeper Wu watched the boxes of silver being carried out, and the staff checked them quickly and reported them to him for verification.

Shopkeeper Wu knew that there was silver in Shenlong Mansion, but he didn't see so much. It was white before his eyes, and he was still absent-minded for a while.

"600 million..."

"Eight hundred and fifty thousand..."

"1000 million..."

"Sixteen million..."

"2000 million..."

After reporting the numbers one by one, shopkeeper Wu Da was already numb. He could only blink non-stop as he watched the big boxes being carried onto the carriage, unable to react much.

Not long after, Su Mo'er came over, handed over a letter, and said, "Master Wu, this is a list. If these are not enough, you can borrow from them."

Shopkeeper Wu suddenly came to his senses, and immediately said: "It's enough, it's enough, it won't take much, and I'll send it back to Madam in a few days."

Su Mo'er smiled and said, "Okay, please send my wife's greetings to Mr. Fu."

The shopkeeper Wu naturally knew who this "madame" was, and also knew that His Royal Highness the Third Prince lived here, so he quickly raised his hand and said, "Yes, dare not..."

Su Mo'er laughed, turned and left.

Shopkeeper Wu looked at dozens of carriages, loaded with 2000 million taels of silver, and hundreds of soldiers, with a dazed expression on his face, unable to recover.

2000 million, this lady of the Shenlong Mansion is truly incomparably rich!

Chapter 1064

Jiangsu governor's yamen.

Fang Kongxuan, Xu Jie, Feng Jiangfeng, Shi Bangyao and others gathered together to discuss overnight.

The light shone on Feng Jiangfeng's face, and he looked a little cold. He said: "In fact, the taxes and food from all over the country have been collected, but they have not been handed in for a long time. I have ordered people to seal them overnight, and they will be delivered within three days. When the time comes, the prices will be higher." If it can be calmed down quickly, the situation can be controlled and there will be no more troubles..."

Xu Jie said: "Although there are still some troubles at the Royal Bank, I have temporarily transferred a batch of silver from various places, temporarily diverting it as salary, and distributing it in advance tomorrow, so that officials at all levels can be safe from panic."

Shi Bangyao said: "Sauce, vinegar, oil and salt, etc., Ying Tianfu has received news that someone is maliciously destroying them. They have checked internally and are sure that only a part has been damaged, and most of them are still good. I have ordered them to open the door urgently tomorrow. If the price starts to sell, the chaotic situation will soon settle down..."

Fang Kongxuan nodded silently as he listened.The governor's yamen is not a decoration, and he may be a little flustered if he is caught off guard, but when he turns around, he will be a chicken and a dog, and he will not be his opponent at all!

The lights were beating, and his face seemed calm, but it was also quite ugly. He said, "Have you found out what happened?"

Xu Jie frowned, glanced at the other people, and said hesitantly: "There are indeed many people who have reported to the governor's office. The content is a bit surprising, and the people involved are quite extensive. The lower officials are still verifying."

Fang Kongxuan was still courteous to this old Bi Ge's confidant, and said in a calm tone: "Well, then check it out slowly."

Xu Jie looked up at Fang Kongxuan, the corners of his mouth moved, but he still didn't speak in the end.

He was not the only one who received the report letter, and there must be no less than him present. Although Fang Kongxuan didn't say much, he was silently warning him.

Feng Jiangfeng saw it clearly, changed the subject calmly, and said: "My lord, there are continuous rainstorms, and the Yangtze River and the Yellow River are in danger of bursting embankments. The north-south water transport can only be suspended for the time being. The water transport department has not yet checked the specific situation. , but the rescued boatman was found, according to them, they heard the sound of an explosion, there was a huge flame, and they were sure that there was a large amount of gunpowder, and the two large ships were sunk with two consecutive bangs!"

"True?" Fang Kongzheng's eyes darkened suddenly, and the cold light flashed.

Gunpowder is something that is strictly forbidden to be leaked by the imperial court, and ordinary people have no access to it. That is to say, people from the army may be involved!

He didn't care much about blowing up a ship and destroying some food, but if this was brought into the cabinet and brought into the Qianqing Palace, it would be terrible!

As Fang Kongzheng spoke, his back felt cold.Daming's "Jingzheng New Deal" is at the most important juncture. If something happens at the top, the whole of Daming may fall apart!

Feng Jiangfeng's expression was calm, and he said: "It's not difficult to find gunpowder, and other things are also easy. What I'm worried about now is the Royal Bank."

Xu Jie looked down for a moment, and said, "The Royal Bank has already adopted procedural delays. Although it was barely delayed today, tomorrow, I'm afraid it will be even more turbulent. Those people don't know what else they can do. The governor's office still needs to deal with it." .”

Feng Jiangfeng also said: "Well, all the money in Nanzhili is circulated in the royal bank. If this run cannot be stopped, once it goes bankrupt, the governor's office may not have much money to do things, and the subsequent impact will be unpredictable."

Fang Kongzheng frowned, and said: "Is there no action at the Royal Bank? This Royal Bank was built by Mr. Fu. He has always been cautious, so there will be no back-ups, right?"

Xu Jie smiled wryly, and said: "This run has exceeded their expectations. Divide and break down one by one. There are so many people, and now it has exceeded 2000 million. Many semicolons have been run off... No matter how much reserves are in place, they can't resist such a run. It’s a large amount, and it needs to be cashed in cash, the provincial number can’t hold it at all..."

Fang Kongxuan nodded slightly. It was normal for the Royal Bank to be caught off guard when this happened suddenly.

"My lord, this matter is very important. It concerns the court, the emperor and the state affairs. It must be handled properly and cannot be left alone." Feng Jiangfeng said solemnly.

Once the royal bank is run and closed, the emperor and the court will be furious. According to the emperor's temperament, it is possible to "wash" Nanzhili again!

Fang Kongxuan remained calm, glanced at the few people present, and said in a deep thought: "Actually, there has always been a large warehouse in Nanzhili. You all know this, but there are still some things in it that are kept secret. Now I will tell you You guys, if the Royal Bank can't hold on tomorrow, you can use it."

Xu Jie and Feng Jiangfeng were both startled, and looked at Fang Kongxuan in astonishment.

Fang Kongxuan said slowly: "The emperor exterminated the Jiannu, and confiscated a large number of various antique calligraphy and paintings, rare and rare treasures, plus some treasures in the palace, and the Donglin Party, etc., all stored there... …Originally, what the emperor meant…was to open a 'museum', if the situation is urgent, you can take it out as a pawn and use it as a mortgage."

Xu Jie and Feng Jiangfeng looked at each other. They had no idea that there was such a big treasure hidden in Nanzhili under their noses!

Although they don't know the details, according to what Fang Kongxuan said, the value of this "museum" will be immeasurable and inestimable, which is astonishing!

Xu Jie, however, pondered secretly. He had vaguely seen the records in the cabinet, and said, "My lord, these belong to the emperor. If we pawn, is it wrong..."

Fang Kongxuan shook his head with a smile, and said: "Don't worry about it, it's just an emergency. I have obtained the approval of the emperor. Don't spread this matter to the outside world, lest someone with good intentions will make up their minds. It is my Daming's treasure, and I must not lose it!"

Xu Jie and Feng Jiangfeng both heaved a sigh of relief. With such confidence, why should they be afraid of running out.

After this incident, Feng Jiangfeng's eyes flashed sharply, and he said: "Sir, since this matter is no longer embarrassing, should we take action? When the court sends someone, we can only wait for the 'dereliction of duty' to go to prison." gone."

Fang Kongzheng's expression became colder, he looked at Xu Jie closely, and said, "Master Xu, you have received so many complaint letters, should you hand them over to me?"

Xu Jie's expression was tangled, his brows were wrinkled, and he said after a while: "Yes, I obey."
