What everyone was most afraid of was that Ding Xi took the opportunity to kill them all, and now it was safe for them to take over, at least for now.

"What is the emperor going to do?"

Lin Qianru frowned and asked.

"Your Majesty came here this time to rescue you specially. Also, please be respectful to Your Majesty."

With a cold snort, Lin Qianru didn't have the slightest liking for Li Wei, who used alienation tactics.

After letting all the proprietors of the bank stand behind him, Li Wei asked with a smile, "Do you know what I am here for today?"

"Hmph, didn't your majesty come to seal He Shengchang?"

"Why do you say that?"

Zhuang Yunxiao said with disdain on his face: "Your Majesty, why bother to ask the question knowingly, not repaying the debt, and defrauding depositors, what a crime, it is enough for His Majesty to have an excuse to attack the banker."

"Oh, you are quite self-aware, so what should you do?"

Facing the emperor's questioning, Zhuang Yunxiao, who was obviously at a loss, seemed to have a big reason, and said arrogantly: "with me, Zhuang Yunxiao, He Shengchang would not be able to arrive. With He Shengchang, all the families in Chang'an City The Qianzhuang will not collapse!"

In the past, there must have been many bank proprietors applauding Zhuang Yunxiao, but in the current situation, everyone looked at him like an idiot.

"Do you have silver?"

"Of course, I already knew that there were ghosts in Heshengchang, so I kept this from everyone. Thanks to my precautions, otherwise my silver car would have been robbed."

As soon as the voice fell, the surrounding immediately became chaotic.

"Young proprietor, have you successfully transferred the money?"

"That's natural. Although there are not many, it is enough to relieve the urgent need. As long as it is delayed for a few days, the follow-up silver carts will continue to arrive."

Those who are in the bank business, who doesn't know that Zhuang Yunxiao is a waste who only knows how to spend money and prodigal. I really didn't expect that he turned the tide today. Could it be that he was pretending before?

Even Lin Qianru was shocked, Zhuang Yunxiao was able to transport the money, it was too unbelievable.

"I'm really sorry, let Your Majesty come here in vain. You have no excuse to seal me He Shengchang today. This kind of opportunity will never happen again in the future."

"How can you be so sure that money will be delivered?"

Zhuang Yunxiao said confidently: "I said yes, so naturally there will be.

Although your majesty is the son of heaven, there is also a word 'law' in this world, you can't do whatever you want, otherwise people in the world may not accept it. "

Hearing Zhuang Yunxiao's words, Li Wei couldn't help but sneer in his heart, it's already this time, this "Emperor of Gold and Silver"

The prince still challenged himself, but he still refused to accept it.

"What if there is no money delivered today?"

"Impossible! If it can't be delivered, I will... I will give the Heshengchang head number to His Majesty, but what if it can be delivered?"

"If it can be delivered, I can promise you one condition."

"My conditions are a bit high."

"As long as you can say it, I will do it."

Finally got what he wanted, Zhuang Yunxiao clasped his hands to the surroundings and said: "Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, he has a constitution in his mouth, and he follows the law when he says it, but I still have the courage to invite you to be witnesses today."

The proprietors of the bank naturally hoped that Li Wei would bow his head and admit his cowardice, and abolish his troublesome reforms. After hearing Zhuang Yunxiao's words, they all agreed to be witnesses.

Being coaxed by the crowd, Zhuang Yunxiao's whole body floated up, and he said proudly: "Abolish the two to change the yuan, and reform the method of harvesting grain. I heard that His Majesty also issued a decree to reject the sample money of the new copper wire. Okay, let's make a drastic move." Come down, let the world have a different atmosphere, but also make the dignitaries feel dissatisfied.

Dare to ask Your Majesty, if I can help the officials of the world keep their money, how will they thank me?How far will my business with Shengchang develop in the future? "

"Bastard, do you dare to threaten His Majesty?"

Ding Xi scolded angrily.

"A grassroots in the lower district, who doesn't understand government affairs, or something, asks His Majesty, how can he become a threat?"

"Zhuang Yunxiao, don't get carried away!"

Lin Qianru persuaded in a low voice.

"Shut up! You're connected to foreign enemies. I haven't settled with you yet. It's not for you to talk!"

When the world is chaotic and countries conquer each other, even the kings of various countries have to treat each other with courtesy when they meet He Shengchang's big boss who holds a lot of wealth. It is the capital that makes the kings of all countries bow their heads, but the root of trouble.

Zhuang Zhiming is not stupid to be able to spread semicolons all over the world. He is aware of this, and after receiving the hint from the courtiers, he took the initiative to take the lead in confronting the imperial power.

For Zhuang Zhiming, ensuring the power of his ministers is to keep his property safe. It is a pity that Zhuang Zhiming is old and weak and unable to direct this financial war in person. However, Zhuang Yunxiao listened to his father's purpose and knew to fight this financial war. The need for battle.

Knowing this, Zhuang Yunxiao completely let go of himself, even if he admits he can't keep his wealth, he might as well be tough to the end, even if he loses in the end, he can still fight for the name of a hero.

As for Lin Qianru's persuasion to ease the relationship, she couldn't listen to a word.

"You are so confident, are you not afraid of any mishaps along the way?"

"impossible."

As soon as he finished speaking, a man hurriedly ran up to Zhuang Yunxiao and whispered a few words, Zhuang Yunxiao staggered, if the guards behind him didn't help him, he would definitely fall to the ground.

"Young proprietor, what happened? Did the silver car have an accident?"

"Shut up! You crow mouth!"

Hearing Zhuang Yunxiao's words, everyone understood that there was indeed something wrong with the silver car and it couldn't be delivered.

"Zhuang Yunxiao, are you wondering why your people have robbed Lin Qianru's silver car, why can't it be transported into the city?"

Lin Qianru asked in shock: "What did your Majesty say? It was Zhuang Yunxiao who took the silver car?"

"You, don't listen to his nonsense! How could I rob my silver car? Ah..."

Just as Zhuang Yunxiao was about to explain, he felt a pain in his head, and Ou Weijian hurriedly protected him, "Your Majesty is the ruler of a country, how can you plot against others?"

"Open your eyes and see my hidden weapon before speaking."

Looking down, Ou Weijian couldn't help being taken aback. Li Wei's hidden weapon turned out to be a silver ingot. He picked it up and said immediately, "Miss, look, it's our silver, and there is a mark of Heshengchang on it!"

"I want it, it's all in the silver car behind me."

Speaking of this, everyone understood that the one who robbed the silver car was Zhuang Yunxiao, his own family, but he was unlucky, and was cut off by Li Wei's officers and soldiers as soon as he succeeded.

After arguing for a long time, it turned out that it was Zhuang Yunxiao who ruined their last hope, he was the one who ruined his family and property, and the owners of the bank looked at Zhuang Yunxiao almost bursting into flames.

"Since the silver car was saved by the officers and soldiers, the little girl thanked His Majesty Long En, will the silver car be returned to He Shengchang?"

"I want to give it back to you, but do you dare?"

Zhuang Yunxiao refused to accept it and said: "Why don't you dare, the money belongs to us He Shengchang!"

"Okay, Ding Xi, let me announce now that the Heshengchang silver car was robbed by Zhuang Yunxiao. Thanks to the officers and soldiers, the silver car was taken back, and the culprit, Zhuang Yunxiao, was arrested by the way."

"Wait a minute! Your Majesty misunderstood, the person who robbed the silver cart was not from Zhuang Yunxiao, and the silver cart was not sent back by the officers and soldiers."

"you sure?"

Lin Qianru gritted her teeth and said, "Sure."

Compared with He Shengchang's life and death, Zhuang Yunxiao's life is not so important, but this news cannot be spread.

During the run, the news of He Shengchang's internal strife would only cause a bigger run on. Even if they were lucky enough to pass this hurdle, few people would dare to do business with He Shengchang in the future.

Today, Li Wei dared to come directly with the silver cart unscrupulously, because he was sure of this point, and put everything on the table, but he made He Shengchang suffer and couldn't say it.

"This is not ten taels, one hundred taels, but one million taels of silver, really don't want it?"

"No, no more."

Chapter 6 and Seven

"Haha, okay, since the money in the silver car was not stolen by you, He Shengchang, then it belongs to me, and I won't embarrass you. I will deposit the money in He Shengchang!"

Hearing this, the whole audience exclaimed, the reason why the commercial tickets in the Royal Department Store were out of stock was because of Li Wei's reputation.

If the depositors know that the current emperor has deposited millions of taels of silver in Heshengchang, it will not only provide Heshengchang with much-needed silver taels, but also restore the depositors' confidence in Heshengchang.

All in all, even giving the emperor 100 million taels for nothing would be a lucrative business.

"You have no jokes?"

"Nonsense, when will I stop talking? Will I accept it or not?"

"Accept, accept! Record the account, today's holy majesty, deposit 100 million taels of silver!"

As soon as Lin Qianru finished shouting, all the proprietors of the bank, who had found a way out in the desperate situation, shouted together. When the voice came out, the crowd exclaimed. silver.

"Don't be dazed, just enter the account."

The folks of Heshengchang knew what Li Wei's deposit meant, so they gave ten times more warm reception, and even the proprietors of the bank took the initiative to come to the account room and ran to help.

"You, Your Majesty, why are you like this?"

"The reform of the currency system is not aimed at destroying the banks, but to allow the banks to operate in an orderly manner. If I don't take action this time, I will even add fuel to the flames. Banks will go bankrupt one after another. The reform of the currency system will lose the biggest obstacle, but what will the people do?"

"People?"

"You declare bankruptcy, and the certificates of deposit in the hands of the common people become useless paper. How many common people will be damaged, and how much money will be lost? You are a big man who can afford a meal for ordinary people for a lifetime, and you don't care about the common people. life and death, but they are all my people, and I care."

In the past, Li Wei used to say that he loves the people like a son. Li Wei just said it casually, and Lin Qianru listened to it casually. But today, Li Wei is willing to forgive the bank alliance that can be pushed down so that the people will not be harmed. It really makes Lin Qianru With admiration.

"Don't you know the danger of killing a snake?"

"I know, if I can beat a poisonous snake half to death once, I can do it the second time, and the third time."

"You and your father are really different."

"My dad? What's the matter?"

Realizing that she had made a slip of the tongue, Lin Qianru shook her head hastily, "It's nothing, I'm talking nonsense, thank you this time, I, I'm leaving."

Looking at Lin Qianru's lost back, Li Wei felt that this woman's background seemed very complicated.

"Ding Xi."

"The minister is here."

"Go and find out about Lin Qianru's background."

"Yes, Your Majesty is going back to the palace now?"

"The officials and I are having an awkward fight, why go back, look at their stinky faces? I haven't run a horse for a long time, let's go outside the city."

Li Wei provoked all the officials several times, slashing the officials' wealth with knives and knives. It is inevitable that some people will jump over the wall. Even the city of Chang'an is full of dangers, but Ding Xi did not dare to discourage Li Wei's interest. He could only urgently dispatch cavalry to strengthen the guards. strength.

You are not joking, Li Wei has promised to deposit 100 million taels into Heshengchang, and naturally he will not go back on his word. With the emperor as a big depositor, the run on has begun to subside, and even other banks have followed suit, increasing the number of depositors Great reduction.

In the Zhuang mansion, Zhuang Zhiming, whose condition had improved, looked at his eldest son with cold eyes after listening to Lin Qianru's narration.

"Father, I don't have any other thoughts. There are too many money houses in Chang'an City, each of which is supported by powerful officials, and they have robbed us of a lot of business. My son just wants to take this opportunity to bring down other money houses and let us unite with Shengchang." Chang'an Bank Industry..."

"Shut up, cough cough..."

Seeing Zhuang Zhiming coughing, Lin Qianru hurriedly brought some tea.

Zhuang Yunxiao's thoughts, Lin Qianru knew, and Zhuang Zhiming knew right away that he wanted to take the opportunity to squeeze other banks, but he also wanted to take the opportunity to kill Lin Qianru and consolidate his position as the young owner of Heshengchang.

"Stupid! People can tolerate the mighty He Shengchang, but they can't tolerate the He Shengchang who dominates Chang'an. You are taking death, not to mention that you have lost the general name, the general name of more than 100 years!"

"Father, now that the difficulty has passed, should the money shortage plan be postponed?"

Shaking his head, Zhuang Zhiming said with some difficulty: "There is no turning back when you open the bow. Li Wei can't tolerate us. If you don't fight him, he will clean us up sooner or later. If you fight him, even courting death is better than waiting for death."

"But once the copper shortage breaks out, the interests of the people will suffer... I mean, we will also suffer a lot."

"Ever since I decided to fight Li Wei, I never thought that He Shengchang would be able to get out of it. Losing some money is nothing. As long as He Shengchang is kept, the money will be earned back sooner or later. The copper shortage must not stop."

Hearing Zhuang Zhiming's determination, Lin Qianru's complexion couldn't help but change. For the sake of the people, Li Wei was willing to spare the bank that obstructed him, but his adoptive father made the people of Chang'an suffer for his own benefit.

"Ru'er, there is something that I shouldn't have said now, but my father's body... I am worried about my father, and I can't see that day."

"Father, you are in good health, and you will surely live a long life."

"My body, I know it myself, I want to talk to you about your marriage to Yunxiao."

Upon hearing this, both Lin Qianru and Zhuang Yunxiao couldn't help being taken aback.

"Father, I have always regarded Shaodong's family as my elder brother, and I never thought of..."

"We are a family. You and Yunxiao are married. It's a good thing to get closer. Why, don't you agree?"

Lin Qianru had never looked at Zhuang Yunxiao, a playboy, so she naturally didn't want to marry such a waste, but now that Zhuang Zhiming proposed that Lin Qianru couldn't say no to her adoptive father who raised her.
