I'm playing tricks in Daqin

"Wei Chen is here!"

"let's start."

"Yes!"

Chen Yuzhou replied excitedly.

As soon as Chen Yuzhou left, Li Wei saw Tian Ce walking over with a dozen people including Wu You and Wen Zishan.

"What's the matter, ladies?"

"Your Majesty is here to plead guilty, Your Majesty. I hope Your Majesty will forgive me. I am willing to atone for my crimes. Together with Your Majesty, I will fight against the traitors in the court!"

As soon as Tian Ce finished speaking, Wu You and others also echoed, expressing that they were loyal ministers of the emperor and vowed to stand by the emperor's side to the death.

Li Wei's words in the palace really scared Tian Ce to death. Looking through the history books, the founding emperor had an unchanging action after he sat firmly on the dragon chair, and that was to kill the ministers of the dragon.

Li Wei's words made Tian Ce feel a strong killing intent. He knew that the emperor's ambiguous attitude towards them had reached the limit, and if he didn't make a decision, no matter whether Li Wei continued to implement reforms or gave up reforms, they would not do well. end.

"Okay, okay, you didn't disappoint me. You are still old brothers who follow me to fight the world. The clown thinks he can force me to bow his head. Okay, if that's the case, then let's fight against the clowns."

"What's your majesty's order?"

"You don't have to do anything, just watch the show."

Hearing Li Wei's words, Tian Ce and the others looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that the emperor had already found a way to deal with it. Fortunately, they were not in the wrong team, otherwise the consequences would be unpredictable.

After returning to Zhuang's mansion, Zhuang Yunxiao and Lin Qianru went directly to Zhuang Zhiming's study.

"Father, this time it's a complete victory!"

"Oh, the emperor bowed his head?"

"Not yet, but it's a dead end now. The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty are fighting against the emperor. He will not bow his head unless he doesn't want to be the emperor anymore."

Chapter 599 Prohibition of Business

Zhuang Zhiming had expected this to happen a long time ago, so he didn't react too much.

"Father, my child suspects that Lin Qianru is in collusion with the dog emperor!"

Zhuang Zhiming glanced at Lin Qianru, and angrily said: "You bastard, you have said this a long time ago, and I have told you, don't doubt it anymore, have you ignored my words!"

"Father, Lin Qianru is clearly on Li Wei's side this time, and she even demolished me!"

After waving his hand to shut him up, Zhuang Zhiming turned his head and said, "I don't believe what he said, I'll listen to you."

With a wry smile, Lin Qianru's face was filled with desolation, "Father, Zhuang Yunxiao ruined Heshengchang today, we should sell the property as soon as possible, maybe there is still a glimmer of life."

"Shut up! You stinky woman, if I don't listen to the dog emperor, I can destroy Heshengchang? Heshengchang is in my hands, and it will only become more prosperous. Are you trying to trick my father into selling his property and giving it to you? Your concubine, the emperor!"

"Idiot! You are still not awake when you are about to die!"

For Zhuang Yunxiao's stupidity, Lin Qianru couldn't bear it anymore.

"You dare to scold me? Well, if He Shengchang doesn't die today, I'll kill you!"

Just as Zhuang Zhiming wanted to stop the quarrel between the two, the housekeeper ran in without notifying him. Zhuang Zhiming realized that something serious had happened.

"what happened?"

"My lord, something serious has happened! There are crowds of people in front of the main office, all scrambling to get the money!"

"Quick, send someone to each semicolon to ask about the situation."

Lin Qianru persuaded: "Father, don't ask, the situation is the same. There has been a run, and the cash in our hands can't last. Let's find a way to get some cash."

"What the hell happened? What did this evil boy do?"

After Lin Qianru told what happened on the school grounds, Zhuang Zhiming picked up the inkstone and slammed it on Zhuang Yunxiao's head.

Regardless of wiping the ink and blood off his head, Zhuang Yunxiao roared: "Father, why did you hit me?"

"You, you bastard! Do you know what is the most important thing in a bank? It's reputation! Don't say we have money, even if we don't have money, we have to pretend to have it! But what about you? You rebellious son, you actually said in public that I am He Shengchang There is a shortfall of 800 million taels! Everyone knows that I, He Shengchang, have no money, so they will come to get the money as soon as possible. Are you afraid that He Shengchang will not die! Why did I give birth to such a wicked person as you!"

Zhuang Yunxiao finally understood why Lin Qianru said that he killed He Shengchang, it turned out to be the case.

If outsiders say it, even if it is Li Wei, the emperor, others will take it as a joke, but only him, He Shengchang Shaodong, everyone will believe it.

Li Wei cheated him of buying national bonds before, and many people suspected that Heshengchang was emptied out. Now Zhuang Yunxiao said in person that no matter whether it is true or not, there is nothing wrong with taking out his own money first.

Even the big businessmen who were in the same boat as Zhuang Yunxiao on the school grounds just now will become the main force of the run.

"Here, Dad, what should we do?"

"What, why... poof."

"father!"

"Father!"

Zhuang Zhiming, who was already in poor health, couldn't bear such a big blow, so he vomited a mouthful of blood and fell directly to the ground.

"Father, father! Wake up, Lin Qianru, what should I do now?"

Lin Qianru also knew that she couldn't count on this good-for-nothing young master, "You help your adoptive father to rest, go to the doctor, and I'll take care of the matter of He Shengchang."

Zhuang Yunxiao was eager for someone to wipe his ass, so he nodded in agreement.

"Miss, what should we do now?"

The butler asked with a worried look on his face.

"Notify the main number and each sub-colon to take out all the deposits and exchange them for deposits. However, it is necessary to use the excuse that there are too many people and the order is too chaotic. Each shop only opens two exchange windows, so that the guys can try to delay the withdrawal time. , I’m going to find a way to get money now.”

"Hey, that's all I can do, young master... Hey, I'll go down first."

On the school grounds, Lin Qianru had expected this kind of situation to happen, so she was mentally prepared and thought of a way to deal with it. Now she will not be in a hurry. After a simple arrangement, she asked Ou Weijian to escort her with a dozen guards Go out of the house to collect money.

As the number one bank in mainland China, even the rich and powerful used to treat Lin Qianru with three points of courtesy, but now, Lin Qianru has realized what it means to be overwhelmed by everyone, and found five banks in a row. .

Colleagues are enemies, and now Heshengchang is facing a crisis, and all the banks are sharpening their swords and guns, preparing to divide Heshengchang and eat it.

Lin Qianru's heart is full of sorrow, now that the emperor is going to attack the bank industry, this group of short-sighted guys are not sincerely united but thinking about internal strife, how can there be any reason for invincibility?

The noise from the street interrupted Lin Qianru's contemplation, and hurriedly asked the driver to stop.

"What happened?"

"Miss, it seems that the officers and soldiers are having a quarrel with Li Dongzhu of Yunyue Silk and Satin Village."

Proprietor Li is also a wealthy businessman. He has more than 60 silk and satin factories in Chang'an and other places. He himself has just been to the school yard. Now the officers and soldiers came to the door, which made Lin Qianru feel that something was wrong and walked over immediately.

"What are you doing! Are you being unreasonable! Just seal up the store casually? Do you know who I am!"

"Grandpa cares who you are? Get out of the way!"

"Don't let me, seal up my store, and give me a crime!"

"This is your silk and satin shop? Your surname is Li?"

A chief asked immediately.

"That's right, Mr. Li is the owner of this silk and satin shop, and he is related to Mr. Li from the household department. If you know each other, get out immediately!"

Being able to expand the business in the capital naturally has a backing, Li Dongzhu is not afraid of these Qiuba.

"Hehe, grandpa doesn't know what bullshit Mr. Li is. In grandpa's eyes, only the emperor is the emperor. You have committed the crime of deceiving the emperor. Come here and let me take it down!"

Bullying the king is not a small crime, Li Dongzhu hurriedly shouted: "Stop! What are you doing! Why did I bully the king?"

"You used to keep telling the emperor that you have no money and can't open for business, but now you want to open for business. Isn't it bullying what is it?"

"I, I'm not in business, I just open the door... I open the door to let in the air, and I don't sell anything! As the saying goes, catching thieves and taking stolen goods, which eye of yours has seen me doing business!"

"Hehe, okay, what a thieves and stolen goods, grandpa is standing here watching, you think a single business is deceiving the king! Brothers, don't be idle, two people, whoever dares to do business, Which one is bullying the emperor, arrest it directly, dare to resist, kill it directly!"

The soldiers echoed and dispersed to watch. There were soldiers standing at the door of every shop along the street.

Li Dongzhu was thinking about whether to bribe the officers and soldiers, when Chen Yuzhou suddenly came with a group of soldiers and more than 30 carriages.

"Is your surname Li?"

"Yes, it is the villain. Do you still remember me?"

"Not only I remember, but the emperor also remembers."

Upon hearing this, Li Dongzhu was so frightened that he almost knelt down. Could it be that the emperor wanted Qiuhou to settle the score? "Don't be nervous. The emperor is a benevolent emperor through the ages. Knowing that your capital turnover is not working well, he is very anxious, so he ordered me to buy some things, which can be regarded as helping you."

"The shop is out of stock."

"Really? Do you want me to go in and take a look?"

Glancing at the precious saber at Chen Yuzhou's waist, Li Dongzhu said with a smile: "There are still some, I wonder how much the general wants to buy, and what price?"

"The emperor loves the people like a son, so naturally he won't lose you, so he bought it at the market price, but I want a large quantity, shouldn't you make it cheaper?"

"I, all the goods in my store have been ordered out..."

"Booked out? Are you still open?"

After finishing speaking, Chen Yuzhou deliberately pulled out a part of his waist knife.

Seeing this scene, Li Dongzhu almost knelt on the ground in fright. If he was open for business, he would be deceiving the emperor, but if he did not open for business, he could not refuse the emperor's "benevolent act"

.

"I, I sell, sell to His Majesty."

"Okay, since you can't continue your business, how about I take away two guys, just to lighten your burden?"

Facing a group of officers and soldiers with swords and guns in their hands, Dongzhu Li dared not say a word, so he could only nod in agreement.

What he didn't expect was that Chen Yuzhou kept his word, moved a lot of silk and satin, and actually gave him money. Although the price was discounted for a large quantity, he saved himself from hoarding the goods, and he made a lot of money after all. .

Weighing the money in his hand, Li Dongzhu couldn't help but wonder, could it be that Li Wei is really a benevolent king, helping himself out of his own pocket?

Dongzhu Li was thinking wildly when he suddenly saw Lin Qianru and ran over in a hurry.

"Miss Lin, take a look, this, this is what to do!"

"What are you in a hurry for? Just wait. You can't die if you don't do business for five days, but if Chang'an goes on strike for five days, the emperor won't be able to sit still. Li Dongzhu, do you have any money? The streets are not smooth now, so it's better to save it to Let's go with Shengchang."

When Zhuang Yunxiao yelled that He Shengchang had a shortfall of 800 million silver, Dongzhu Li was listening by the side, and he secretly sent his clerk to withdraw the deposited silver, how dare he save any more money now, just typed haha ​​and went straight leave.

"Miss, these businessmen would rather believe in something than nothing, or go to those powerful officials, they take our money every month, and now we have trouble, they can't just watch. "

"Hmph, those bastards can't be counted on. For now, the only way is to go to the emperor."

"To the palace?"

"The emperor likes micro-clothes, so he must be in the palace now... Who are those people?"

Ou Weijian went to get a flyer and came back, "Miss, there is a royal department store opening."

"The Royal Department Store? What's that?"

After receiving the leaflet and glanced at it, Lin Qianru felt as if struck by lightning, and the leaflet fell directly to the ground.

Daqin had never heard of the Royal Department Store, but the leaflet introduced it in great detail. The Royal Department Store sells all kinds of department stores. It will open tomorrow with a [-]% discount for the entire store.

"Miss, what's the matter with you?"

"It's over, this time, it's really all over, let's go, go to Ritai Bank to try your luck."

After a busy day, Lin Qianru got nothing. Now He Shengchang has become a street mouse. Everyone just wants to get the money out as soon as possible, and no one is willing to take the risk of pulling He Shengchang.

As soon as she returned to the mansion, Lin Qianru took a look at Zhuang Zhiming who was still unconscious, and after searching around but couldn't find Zhuang Yunxiao, she dragged her exhausted body back to the room to rest.

Chapter 600 Royal Department Store

After a sleepless night, Lin Qianru took Ou Weijian straight to the newly opened Royal Department Store early the next morning.

The merchants in Chang’an went on strike, even if they bought some salt, saucers and vinegar. Now there is a shop for shopping, the people naturally flock to it, and a shop that claims to sell everything has also aroused everyone’s suspicion. Even if you don’t buy anything, go and have a look Lively is also good.

Seeing Lin Qianru approaching with a cold face, Li Wei signaled Chen Yuzhou to let her go.

"Your Majesty is very scheming. On the school grounds, Zhuang Yunxiao and all the wealthy merchants will be wiped out!"

Now Lin Qianru has figured it out, Li Wei is a master who never wants to suffer, even if he was caught off guard for a moment and was slapped in the face by Zhuang Yunxiao for lying about borrowing money, he will never speak big again and send his face over for them to slap him again.

This is clearly a trap set by Li Wei, not only to lead Zhuang Yunxiao to say that He Shengchang has no deposits, but also to make the major firms afraid of the crime of deceiving the emperor and dare not do business.

Li Wei, on the other hand, took advantage of the opportunity when the various stores were afraid to open, and launched the Royal Department Store, intending to take away the business of the major stores.
