Chapter four hundred and fortieth second ticket number dispute

"Your Majesty, I think that we can ask those from aristocratic families and wealthy people to open bank accounts and banks." Bi Ziyan's answer obviously exceeded Emperor Chongzhen's expectations.

What he meant was that the bank would block the bank accounts that the court considered unreliable, in order to prevent this situation from happening again.

"Your Majesty, I think it should also include those bank accounts and banks that have been open for many years without any accidents and have a good reputation." Xu Guangqi added after hearing Bi Ziyan's words.

Emperor Chongzhen frowned when he didn't hear the answer he wanted. He couldn't help but look at his chief minister, Wen Tiren.

Wen Tiren saw Emperor Chongzhen's gaze and understood. He turned to look at Bi, Xu and the two of them and said: "Wouldn't the bank have problems if it's a wealthy family or a bank with a good reputation? Did the Shanxi merchant's bank have any bank accounts before the incident?

With bad deeds, the capital is not that much?"

When asked about this, Bi Ziyan and Xu Guangqi were a little unconvinced. This was actually an accident. Who would have thought that their boss was doing such treason and was discovered by Zhongxing Hou and raided.

The assistant minister He Ruchong was a little disapproving after hearing this, and said before Bi Xu, "This is just a case."

Wen Tiren had obviously done his homework beforehand. He didn't wait for others in the palace to agree with He Ruchong, and then asked him: "In the 28th year of Wanli, a bank in Qiantang, Zhejiang Province suffered losses due to its owner's business in sea trade, and the money in the bank under his name was stolen.

All of them were misappropriated, causing local riots; in the second year of the Apocalypse, a similar incident occurred in another bank in Suzhou. There are two cases that I know of, not to mention how many are unknown to me? Are these all isolated cases? "

After Wen Tiren said this, he took a breath, turned to Bi, and Xu and continued: "The reason why people deposit their hard-earned money into bank accounts and banks is because they believe in their credibility. If bank accounts and banks have criminal records and bad records,

, who would be so stupid to save his hard-earned money!"

Everyone in the hall couldn't help but nod when they heard what the chief minister said. Generally, only those who spend a lot of money on business will deposit their silver into bank accounts and banks. These people are all stupid, this is for sure.

As for the official families like those in the Wenhua Palace, except for those who have business in different parts of the country, generally no one is willing to pay others to keep their money for them. They hide it in secret places and get it when they need it.

come out.

Moreover, in the minds of people in this era, fields are the most valuable asset, and the first choice of most people is to exchange money for fields.

This is actually a tradition of the Han people, and it can be said to be deeply ingrained. Even hundreds of years later, many people still think so, until it was publicly owned.

"Excuse me, Chief Assistant, how should we deal with it in your opinion?" Xu Guangqi couldn't think of a way, so he asked Wen Tiren directly.

Wen Tiren was waiting for this sentence, and he immediately replied: "Once something goes wrong with the bank, the amount of money involved is not small, and the harm to the people is particularly great. What happened in the past few days is enough to prove it. Therefore..."

When he said this, he turned around and faced Emperor Chongzhen and said: "Your Majesty, I suggest that the private sector should not open bank accounts and banks privately. However, since it is indispensable, the court can open the bank accounts and bank accounts. It can be said that it kills two birds with one stone."

Emperor Chongzhen was satisfied when he saw that Wen Tiren had brought the topic back and had taken control of the situation. He cooperated and said: "What the chief minister said makes sense."

After hearing this, the assistant minister Qian Xiangkun frowned and went out to report: Your Majesty, we need to be cautious about this matter. The imperial court is issuing bill numbers and banks are something that has never happened in ancient times!"

Wen Tiren's suggestion was indeed shocking, and others also agreed with Qian Xiangkun's statement.

Only Cao Yubian, the censor of Zuodu, had a different view from them. He had been holding back his energy for a long time and said loudly: "Isn't salt and iron also a monopoly of the imperial court? What about the bank if there is one more ticket number? This move has

It is conducive to protecting people's money, which is what we do to make decisions for the people."

At this point, he turned to face Emperor Chongzhen, and still loudly and firmly said: "I agree with the proposal of the first assistant."

The reason why Cao Yubian made such a statement was not that he was flattering his chief minister and Emperor Chongzhen, but that he had no choice but to do so.

In the previous anti-corruption case of the Metropolitan Procuratorate in the capital, censors at all levels were dismissed one after another, giving the Metropolitan Procuratorate a resounding slap in the face that prided itself on being honest, and its reputation plummeted.

Although Emperor Chongzhen granted a general amnesty to the whole world and absolve everyone of their guilt, the selfish and corrupt label on the head of the Procuratorate is not so easy to take off. When they met their colleagues, they all felt that they were dwarfs and could no longer supervise others as before.

The confidence of the time.

This situation has been worrying officials at all levels in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and they are thinking about how to reverse the situation.

The now-raging ticket account incident in the capital has given the Metropolitan Procuratorate an opportunity. If they can stand up forcefully and give an explanation to the people, they can gradually build up their previous image of making decisions for the people among the people, and slowly regain their image.

The dignity of the past.

Therefore, Cao Yubian, the censor of Zuodu, made such a high-profile performance.

Qian Xiangkun did not agree with his statement and argued with him on the spot: "The monopoly of salt and iron has existed since ancient times, and it is understandable that our court will continue to follow the old practice. But if the court manages the ticket business, it will compete with the people for profit."

Don’t be careless!”

"Qian Ge is mature and prudent, and what he said makes sense. I second my opinion." He Ruchong stood on Qian Xiangkun's side and told Emperor Chongzhen.

Several other people in the hall agreed with Qian Xiangkun's views and seconded their opinions one after another.

When Cao Yubian saw it, he became even more energetic. He had the courage to fight even if tens of thousands of people went there. He argued loudly: "Which will benefit more people, or will it harm more people? What is good for the majority of the people, the court will do.

It should be done!”

Now Xu Guangqi even came out to object: "Although there are troubles with the bank accounts, they are in the minority after all. All the bank accounts have been blocked. It is hard to say whether the bank's actions have benefited more people or harmed more people."

Cao Yubian was dissatisfied and insisted on the current affairs of the capital, and began to quarrel with those who had different opinions.

Wen Tiren had not spoken since he made the suggestion. He watched Zuo Du Yushi eloquently quarrel with the scholars and stand in an invincible position, as if it had nothing to do with him.

When Emperor Chongzhen saw this situation from above, he was not in a hurry and secretly praised the censor for his iron mouth.

The Wenhua Hall seemed to have turned into a vegetable market, with constant quarrels.

Emperor Chongzhen opened his eyes and wandered for a while, and saw that the sky was almost dark. He knew that if they continued to quarrel like this, he would never know the result.

So, he sat up straight, and when he was about to speak, Xu Guangqi suddenly waved his hand to stop everyone's discussion, and then turned to Emperor Chongzhen and said: "Your Majesty, I think it is not possible to argue like this. Why don't you send Marquis Zhongxing to come over and see him?"

Any suggestions?"

When he said this, he added another sentence, which was more to explain to his colleagues: "I think that Marquis Zhongxing is knowledgeable and has many ideas. Maybe he has a way to get the best of both worlds."
