One hundred and fifty thousand taels, this number is neither too much nor too little.
These silver taels may be out of reach for ordinary people, but to the officials of the current dynasty, they are nothing.
Let's talk about Wang Ying, the magistrate of Changping County, who has been a Jinshi for ten years. He usually does not show off his integrity. After serving as an official for five years, he has saved 200,000 taels of silver in his family, which is easy.
Zhang Yi was a Jinshi in the 13th year of Yongle. After serving as an official for more than 30 years, he only saved 150,000 taels of silver.
Gao Zhu, who is also a bachelor of the cabinet, had more than five million taels in cash when his house was raided. This did not include the property deeds of the house, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, etc. that could not be valued in a short period of time.
Not to mention the mountains of gold and silver and countless rare treasures when Wang Zhen ransacked his house...
In comparison, Zhang Yi's savings are really pitiful.
At this time, he only felt that his heart was a little cramped, his face turned pale, and he collapsed directly on the ground.
It's over, my life's savings...are gone!
Cao Nai was still calm, took a deep breath, and then said: "Don't worry, I will report to the emperor right away. If it doesn't work, I will mobilize the Beijing camp. I will definitely catch the person!"
Zhang Yi hurriedly waved his hand and said: "No, you must not use the Beijing camp. It is better to leave it to Shuntian Mansion and the Five Cities Military and Horse Division to control the situation first. If we go into a big fight, I'm afraid, I'm afraid... it will cause turmoil!" p>
Things just happened, so maybe everyone can wait and see for a while. As long as we can catch the person, there may be a turn for the better.
If the Beijing camp is dispatched, it will be equivalent to telling everyone that something big has happened and all your money will be gone!
By that time, many of the murdered people who have lost their fortunes will go crazy and cause big trouble.
He himself is a victim, and of course he knows best how those people feel.
Now it is no longer just a question of how much money is lost, this is the foundation of the imperial court!
Suddenly, he suddenly remembered something, what the emperor said...that's right...
The emperor is really good at predicting things, and his judgment on this matter is particularly accurate. I quickly went to ask the emperor for instructions, maybe there are other countermeasures!
Thinking of this, he no longer hesitated and hurriedly got up and headed to the imperial study room.
However, he was in vain, so he stopped a young eunuch and asked, and then he realized that there were too many people and the imperial study room was almost overcrowded, so the emperor had no choice but to announce that a temporary court meeting would be held.
He hurried to Fengtian Hall and saw that it was even more lively than the previous court, but the emperor hadn't come yet, so no one was in charge of the overall situation.
All the officials were red-faced, filled with indignation, and even cursed. If they were unaware, they would have thought that the Walas had attacked the capital.
Zhang Yi stepped forward, and everyone noticed him. They clasped their fists and saluted indifferently, but everyone was absent-minded, and many people's expressions were extremely ugly.
Beside him, Kuang Ye looked miserable, and his whole person seemed to have grown much older.
Zhang Yi couldn't help but ask: "Kuang Shangshu, did you also invest money?"
Kuang Ye sighed: "Who says it's not the case? It's so good, how could this happen... Oh!"
Among all officials, there are many who have been damaged.
Like Kuang Ye, he has worked hard all his life and is about to retire. He wanted to earn some money for retirement.
Therefore, like Zhang Yi, he took out all his savings and invested them.
Others have similar thoughts. In recent years, it has become more and more difficult to be an official. The current emperor is even more like the Taizu. If a corrupt official is found, whether it is a cabinet scholar or a six-book minister, it will be fine at all. Hesitantly.
The ice and charcoal respects that were popular in the past have also disappeared. Occasionally, some acquaintances give gifts in secret, not daring to meet people.
In this situation, how could you resist seeing such a good opportunity to make money?
Some people have even seen some clues and know that there must be something fishy behind this bank, but they still flock to it just because they want to take a gamble.
Betting on how long this game can last, if you can make a lot of money in a short period of time, and then go ashore, it seems to be a good choice.
However, without any warning, the person ran away!
This made them very upset. As the best among men, they were actually deceived by a businessman.
Not only did I lose my money, I also lost my face...
The matter has fermented very quickly, and now there is a commotion outside. God knows how this matter will develop.
I even heard that the stock exchange seemed to be affected by this, and many stock prices began to fall.
The stock market has absorbed a large amount of private money. If this is not a good thing, it will shake up the country and the country!
Zhang Yi was not only worried about his 150,000 taels of silver, but also worried about the subsequent incidents caused by this incident. He looked very anxious.
Finally, a sharp voice came: "The Emperor has arrived!"
All the officials hurriedly kowtowed and saluted, but Zhu Qizhen calmly came to the hall, waved his hand and said: "Ping Shen!"
Immediately afterwards, Zhang Yi took the lead and said: "Your Majesty, that Longsheng Bank..."
"I know everything!"
Zhu Qizhen raised his hand to interrupt him.
"Gentlemen, don't be anxious. I have already made arrangements. The owner of Longsheng Bank cannot escape. However, I cannot guarantee how much money you can get back."
After hearing this, the officials' faces became even more ugly.
Why did you let someone run away if you had plans?
Besides, since people can’t run away, why can’t we get our money back?
Kuang Ye stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, I think this person has been planning for a long time and has been fully prepared. I'm afraid that by this time, he has already changed his appearance and escaped!"
For the imperial court, it should not be difficult to find someone.
But the owner of Longsheng Bank has obviously expected such a day. In addition, he has a lot of money in his hands, and he doesn't know who is behind him. With such complete preparations, if he wants to find it again, he can't find it. It’s very difficult.
Money, all our hard-earned money was taken away by him!
All the officials are big investors. Thinking of this, they want to catch this man immediately and chop him alive with one knife.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
Zhang Yi took a deep breath, tried to calm down, and said: "Five days ago, the emperor warned me that Longsheng Bank must be a scam. I still didn't take it seriously. Now it's too late to regret it. This thief is trying to In the past three months, the name of the bank has been swayed by everyone from high-ranking officials to common people. It can be seen that this thief is deliberately planning to shake the foundation of our Ming Dynasty. I asked for orders and the factory guards intervened in this case. Thoroughly investigate the relevant persons!"
Behind him, all the officials looked ashen.
The emperor once gave advice. This matter is not a secret. They all know it, but like Zhang Yi, they don't take it seriously.
They still enjoyed it and invested their hard-earned money into Longsheng Bank.
Many people looked ashen and pitiful, some of them were elderly. At this time, their bodies could no longer hold on, and two of them fainted on the spot.
Although Zhang Yi's words are a bit sensational, they are what everyone wants to hear.
Only by making things more serious can we attract enough attention.
In this way, the emperor will spare no effort to arrest people.
Otherwise, with only Shuntian Mansion and 50% of the troops, there is probably no hope.
It is not a good idea to dispatch the Beijing camp, as it will cause panic among the people and lead to unrest.
The only way is to use the power of factory guards.
Listening obediently, Zhu Qizhen naturally understood what they were thinking.
However, this is understandable.
To be honest, not many people really know the ropes here. Unless they have experienced severe beatings in later generations, it would be difficult not to be tempted by such a huge temptation.
At this time, Kuang Ye couldn't help but ask: "Your Majesty, did you...know this beforehand?"
As soon as these words came out, many people couldn't help but widen their eyes and looked at Zhu Qizhen on the dragon throne, and they also had such questions in their hearts.
The bank manager was very trustworthy on weekdays and cashed in his dividends promptly at the beginning of every month. How did the emperor know that?
At this time, Zhu Qizhen naturally would not hide anything, and said: "When I first heard that the dividend ratio of Longsheng Bank was too high, I felt it was unreasonable. Even if the owner of Longsheng Bank has connections,
Guang, the business is big, but it’s a bit too high.”
"Let's just talk about the railway business. It is one of the hottest industries at the moment. How much profit can they make? Can those who are really involved in it guarantee such stable profits every month? If even the people who actually do engineering don't
I can guarantee that if you just participate in investment, your profits will be higher and more stable. Is this reasonable?"
Zhang Yi and others still couldn't understand, so they had to ask their questions: "But, the cash was paid in time in the first three months..."
Zhu Qizhen shook his head and said: "It's too simple. He only needs to tear down the east wall to repair the west wall, and use the new money to pay the dividends of his predecessors. In other words, your money has not appreciated in value. The so-called
The dividends are actually just your principal. If this happens, your principal will become less and less. One day, he will run away with the money."
Zhang Yi still had a question: "How did the emperor confirm that he would flee in just a few days?"
"This is simple. You only need to invest a sum of money to make him feel that he is actually mature. Then you only need to wait, and he will definitely run away."
After a pause, Zhu Qizhen continued: "What this person is taking advantage of is just people's greed. Greed will make people develop the mentality of getting something for nothing. Of course, you can't blame others for this. Everyone is greedy. You have
, I also have it, but what you are greedy for is the petty profit in front of you, while what I am greedy for is the world!"
When everyone listened, they couldn't help but feel ashamed.
We are all scholars, claiming to be disciples of saints and speaking on behalf of saints, but saints also need to eat.
No one has too much money, what’s more, this is legal income, neither greed nor embezzlement, why not?
It is precisely because of this that the shopkeeper of the bank can control tens of thousands of people.
The scariest thing about a scam is that it disguises itself as a legitimate and legitimate business.

The business of a bank is to absorb savings and lend money. Other banks can do this, so why can’t Longsheng Bank?
Before the owner takes the money and flees, no one can be sure that this person is a liar.
If a bank is directly closed down just because it pays more dividends than other banks, it means that the court still refuses to recognize the industrial and commercial behavior under the New Deal, and the New Deal becomes a joke.
Therefore, the biggest difficulty in taking action is how to identify.
People have taken in deposits and paid out dividends on time. Every penny is a lot. What can you do?
What's more, there are so many victims, and these people are waiting to receive dividends. As long as the owner doesn't run away, how can you say with certainty that he is a liar?
Faced with such a situation, the use of force just gave them an excuse.
You see, I do business in a disciplined manner, but some people are jealous and deliberately frame me. Now I have become a prisoner. If you can't get your money back, you can't blame me.
In this way, the anger of thousands of people will naturally be transferred to the imperial court.
Zhang Yi asked again: "May I ask, Your Majesty, how much money was invested?"
Zhu Qi Zhendan smiled and raised a finger: "Ten million taels!"
One thousand...ten thousand!
Everyone took a deep breath.
This is a huge sum of money!
In the whole world, if you think about it, you can only get it from internal funds or the national treasury.
If you were an ordinary person, even if you really had ten million taels at home, would you dare to give it all?
At this point, Zhang Yi finally understood why the emperor wanted to bet with him.
If the owner of the bank, as the emperor said, has been demolishing the east wall to repair the west wall, then the principal in his hand will become less and less, and when the right opportunity comes, he will definitely flee with the money. p>
Therefore, when these ten million taels of real money suddenly came into the account, the opportunity came!
I'm afraid there will never be another such huge investment in the world. If you don't leave now, the next dividends will be one less. With just this investment of tens of millions, you can
He's down.
The emperor saw this, and in the name of a bet, he actually helped Peng Qing and Beilin to excuse themselves. The two fought in public, and the one they beat was Shuntian Fuyin. No matter they were right or wrong, they could not escape punishment. Thinking of this, Zhang Yi couldn't help but take a breath.
It’s tens of millions of taels of silver in one move, what a generous deal!
Just...
Zhang Yi glanced at the emperor cautiously, with admiration and sympathy in his eyes.
The person ran away, but your money is gone too!
"I regret not listening to the emperor's words, but now countless people have been harmed, and this thief is carrying a huge sum of money and is missing. I would like to ask the emperor to clarify how to arrest him next!"
Zhu Qizhen smiled and said disapprovingly: "This person wants to escape, how can it be so easy? Don't worry, I have sent Jin Yiwei to search. If nothing happens, we will recover the person and the stolen money tomorrow. Dear Sirs
After returning home, try to comfort the people around you, and then wait for the news!"
Zhang Yi looked a little confused. Since he had already made arrangements, why did he send people to search again after letting people run away?
Wouldn't it be better to ambush him early, wait for him to escape, and arrest him directly?
However, since the emperor has said so, there is nothing to worry about, just follow the order.
As for appeasing others... Haha, in this situation, it's good to be able to appease yourself, who can care about others!
