Tongzhou!&1t;/p>

This is a city in the southeast of Beijing. It is also a city with prosperous business. A large number of businessmen who rely on the canal to make their living are settled here. ~ Small,...o&1t;/p>

Most of the houses of merchants in the city are very luxurious, but the most magnificent one in the city is Li Sancai's house. Suzhou craftsmen were hired to design the forest garden, and walked into the house, with pavilions, water pavilions, winding paths, and every grass and tree was carefully planted.&1t;/p>

In the evening, there were guests and guests in the Li family mansion, and there were some wine and chatting.&1t;/p>

Today, a large number of merchants gathered in Li's house. Li Sancai Governor Canal is actually the "general leader" of Tongzhou merchants. Because the emperor levies mining tax (and various other commercial taxes), these merchants also have policies and countermeasures at the top, and they all spend money to name the officials. At that time, Li Sancai Governor Cao Transportation. These Tongzhou merchants, as well as many foreign merchants, were named under Li Sancai, and formed an interest group.&1t;/p>

"Good wine, good wine, or the wine from Mr. Li's mansion!" A businessman in glossy silk drank a glass of wine and clapped his hands and exclaimed.&1t;/p>

But the other businessmen were not so interested, and a few looked like they were dying. Li Sancai looked at the merchants, smiled lightly on his face, then held up the small wine glass with both hands, looked around and said, "Come on, you guys and I drink a cup together, and I will not return until I am drunk."&1t;/p>

"Drink, drink." The merchants raised their wine glasses one after another. Even if Li Sancai was stripped of his official position at this time, he could only be considered a gangster, but he was still their chief leader. Li Sancai's influence in the court cannot be underestimated.&1t;/p>

As we sang, the atmosphere became warmer step by step.&1t;/p>

When we were drinking, a businessman complained to Li Sancai: "Mr. Li, you have to think of a solution! Now the emperor is levying taxes everywhere in the capital, and has already reached his hands to the various prefectures in Northern Zhili. How can we survive if this continues!"&1t;/p>

"This shit emperor is even more greedy than Wanli. I was charged 2,300 taels of tax in Taibai Building in the capital in one month. I still do this business? Now I will lose money in a month."&1t;/p>

"It's a god, my salt shop in the capital has been sealed."&1t;/p>

“My grain shop has no business now.”&1t;/p>

"My antique shop was collected by the tax bureau in a year, and that's a fucking thing."&1t;/p>

"This dog emperor is in power for one day, and this business cannot be done."&1t;/p>

After drinking some wine, the merchants all started to speak without any restraint. Li Sancai didn't care at all, but just cursed the emperor behind his back? There were all those who cursed in person!&1t;/p>

Moreover, Li Sancai is a typical guy who likes to make rumors and slander the emperor out of nothing and comes to gain a reputation for being directly advised. He once repeatedly spread rumors that Emperor Wanli did not fulfill the red tape of sacrifice to heaven and earth every time he caused disasters. Because the emperor was busy with slaughter every day, he pretended to have leg diseases. Later archaeological records show that Wanli did have legs disease, and Emperor Wanli was simply hacked by this guy.&1t;/p>

"Mr. Li, you say something, what should I do now? If this foolish lord continues to do this, no one can do business."&1t;/p>

"Yes! The emperor not only collects taxes, but also starts to do a lot of business. Anyone who does the same business as the emperor will suffer!"&1t;/p>

A group of businessmen looked at Li Sancai with bright eyes, all wanting him to come up with an idea.&1t;/p>

Li Sancai touched his beard, shook his head and said, "He is the emperor, and he is determined to rely on taxes to attack your industry. There is definitely no way to go against the front."&1t;/p>

Everyone felt a chill in their hearts. Li Sancai pondered for a while and then changed his mind: "But... there is still a way."&1t;/p>

Hearing this, a group of businessmen gathered intently and quickly asked.&1t;/p>

"The solution is simple. The emperor now wants to do business and has set up a Royal Bank. I believe you have heard of it. You even deposited money at Royal Bank!" Li Sancai smiled slightly, his expression was extremely calm.&1t;/p>

"Yes, yes."&1t;/p>

"I deposited 300,000 taels at Royal Bank."&1t;/p>

"I saved 100,000 taels, the interest rate is pretty good, you can make money by putting it in it."&1t;/p>

A group of businessmen said that the financial resources of these businessmen are naturally very considerable. In this era, China, as the most productive country in the world, is a non-industrial era where there is not much investment in construction. The industries that can be invested have long been invested with the development of the Ming Dynasty in the past two hundred years. Therefore, today, the phenomenon of "capital overcapital" has occurred.&1t;/p>

To put it bluntly, you have money and nowhere to spend it.&1t;/p>

So letting the banking market has become a good choice for many businessmen. As for investing and making money! There are not many new investment points. Traditional industries have formed an inherent pattern. In addition to the power can bring about major changes, there are generally reshuffles. Therefore, most of the business needs to maintain the operating working capital.&1t;/p>

Li Sancai nodded and continued, "The Emperor is taking everyone's money to do his own business. He is the emperor and can use taxation to attack you. He has enough capital in his hands, so you naturally can't play with him. But what if there is a run for the Royal Bank?"&1t;/p>

"Oh! Why didn't I expect it!" A businessman immediately clapped his hands and shouted.&1t;/p>

"It's still Mr. Li who has unique vision. If this foolish lord doesn't have the money from the bank, his business will not be big."&1t;/p>

The merchants present are not fools. They naturally know what the bank is doing. After all, there were money shops in the Ming Dynasty, and the Shanxi merchants who issued invoices did this. However, the Shanxi merchants' money shops did not store interest. After all, merchants are more dependent on money shops when doing business these days, and the Shanxi merchant bill accounts have formed an alliance, which will not form fierce competition. It occupies a favorable position in the market buyers and sellers, so they are naturally unwilling to pay interest.&1t;/p>

The money bank run incident was also born in the Ming Dynasty, and these merchants are not unfamiliar with this concept.&1t;/p>

"Royal Bank has taken a lot of money to open up wastelands and repaired water conservancy. Once a run occurs, the bank will inevitably go bankrupt." Li Sancai said loudly, with a very affirmative tone. A group of businessmen couldn't help but nod. One of the merchants, who was fat and looked a little stupid, asked in confusion: "How can the Royal Bank run?"&1t;/p>

A businessman next to him sneered: "You are really stupid. Isn't this simple? Just spread rumors that the Royal Bank's operations have lost money and if they don't take out the money, they will be gone. Those mud legs will just fool them and they will go crazy to run the bank. As long as the bank can't get enough cash, the scale of the run will immediately expand. Once the funds are cut off, they will naturally go bankrupt."&1t;/p>

For a moment, all the merchants became excited. Although the emperor began to collect taxes, they were still very rich and had capital. As long as the emperor's bank was closed, the emperor would be in a state of great difficulty and would have to sell the industry to pay back the money. In this way, the emperor's "Hand of An Lushan" that the emperor had crossed the border would be directly chopped off by them.&1t;/p>

Making up the idea, a group of businessmen and Li Sancai began to drink happily and eat. The table was filled with various delicacies, and the slaves were constantly bringing various dishes, fruits, and wine from the kitchen.&1t;/p>

Wealth is of course necessary to enjoy it, especially the merchants in the late Ming Dynasty. Eating is undoubtedly one of the eternal themes, and eating is extremely luxurious.&1t;/p>

With Li Sancai's financial resources, even if he eats like this every day, he will never finish it until he dies. His family is even more fashionable and bought a bunch of royal glass. The "Supreme Deluxe Edition" fitting mirror with 100,000 taels per side, and he bought two sides. The houses in the house were replaced with glass windows.&1t;/p>

After a lot of wine and meals, a group of merchants stood up and said goodbye. The sky was already very dim. After seeing off a group of merchants, Li Sancai's housekeeper prepared to close the door to prevent fire and theft.&1t;/p>

But at this moment, a "fire dragon" appeared on the street. The housekeeper looked at it strangely and carefully and found that it was a group of people holding torches. From the faint firelight in the distance, the cold light of weapons could be vaguely seen.&1t;/p>

"What the hell is going on this big night?" The shopkeeper muttered, not realizing the problem. When the group of people approached, the housekeeper suddenly found something was wrong. The group of people actually came straight to Li's house. After getting closer, the housekeeper saw it much more clearly.&1t;/p>

"Jin... Jinyiwei." After seeing the outfits of the people in the team, the shopkeeper shouted in shock, and his hands were busy and yelled: "Quick, close the door quickly. Quick! stupid pig."&1t;/p>

While shouting, he saw a slave watching the fun, and he was so anxious that he slapped him.&1t;/p>
