Chapter 208 Old Zhu's Teaching
"Report to Your Majesty, Li Qi has been taken down!" Lan Yong said to Zhu Yuanzhang: "Li Qi prepared a clutch in Liujiagang, intending to flee to Japan. Fortunately, we have made arrangements. Mr. Zhang took action personally and arrested Li Qi. Please let Your Majesty leave!"
Zhu Yuanzhang's face turned pale, his fists clenched tightly, and he smashed the table hard, spitting out two words from his teeth: "Transport the Japanese!"
Although Liu Chun's troubles during the birthday celebration have already made Japan a terrible situation, and the two sides have also started trading. Lao Zhu also gave him a gilded brand, but like Li Qi, who fled for fear of crime and tried to hide in Japan, was still a death sentence, and he was the kind of person who wanted to destroy the nine clans!
Lao Zhu was furious. According to his temper, he should have taken action long ago. He waited for so long, especially when he disguised himself, and saw Li Qi's arrogant look and heard the bold and bold words. Lao Zhu did not tear him apart immediately. It was already a lucky chance to be able to live to this day.
"Take him to the city immediately, cut him into pieces, and then execute him in a thousand knives!"
Lan Yong hurriedly agreed and was about to turn around and handle it.
But Liu Chun came in from outside, and he quickly walked to Zhu Yuanzhang, "I call you to your Majesty, I think it's not too busy to kill Li Qi now."
Old Zhu stared at Liu Chun with his eyes and said angrily, "What do you mean? Could it be that Li Qi shouldn't have killed him?"
Liu Chun said angrily: "Of course Li Qi deserves to die. He will decide for life and death. His Majesty's words. But I think whether it should be the main thing in Suzhou."
"Suzhou? What else is there? Money House?" It seems that this is the only thing that matters.
"Yes!" Liu Chun said: "At present, the deposit of the Suzhou money house has been exhausted, and there are still a large number of people running outside. If the handling is not done well, thousands of people will lose their wealth, and there will be chaos."
Zhu Yuanzhang snorted, "This matter was caused by Li Shanchang and Li Qi. I have all turned their father and son into Lingchi, and then confiscated the property of more than a dozen merchants, and used this money to compensate the people's losses and appease the people's hearts. Is that okay?"
Liu Chun shook his head slightly, "Your Majesty, I think it's just a matter of inappropriateness!"
"Why is it inappropriate?" Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly stood up and shouted angrily: "Liu Chun, do you still want me to pay money from the treasury and wipe their butts? I don't have it! Even if I have it, I won't be able to do it, don't think about it!"
Old Zhu snorted angrily, kidding, his treasury has been emptied, if he is asked to cut his flesh again, there is no way, then he can only confiscate your Liu Chun’s property and fill the gap. Anyway, I will never lose a penny!
"Your Majesty, I have carefully studied it these days. Suzhou Money House does not have a good investment channel. The interest they promised is actually achieved by absorbing new deposits and over-issuing banknotes."
After this period of baptism, Lao Zhu basically figured out the tricks of the bank. He gritted his teeth, "So, Suzhou Money House is a scam? Is it the conspiracy of the Li family's father and son to bind Suzhou?"
"Your Majesty is wise, that's true!"
"Bah!" Zhu Yuanzhang spat fiercely at Liu Chun, "You are all blaming you, you suggested that I set up a bank and let the old fox Li Shanchang learn it. He made a backhand game in Suzhou, causing such a big deficit, which made Suzhou fucking a mess. You, how do you let me end it?"
Old Zhu squirted Liu Chun's face and refused to let him go. "You can find a way now and find a way to come up with. I forgive you for not being guilty. If I can't come up with a way, I will kill you and Li Qi to calm the anger of the people of Suzhou!"
Liu Chun is wronged, Zhu Yuanzhang, you are really ruthless and unrighteous.
After all, I am doing things for you, how can I compare with Li Qi?
Liu Chun was angry, but he knew that now was not the time to get angry, and the surname Zhu, don’t think that I had no idea. There was a pitfall waiting for you to jump into it!
"Your Majesty, Suzhou people are in panic now and the situation is in chaos. I think that great chaos and great governance is a god-given opportunity to reorganize Suzhou's financial order. Suzhou's silk is famous all over the world, with prosperous business and currency spreading all over the world, and is the best in Jiangnan. There is a huge demand for money. In the past, Baochao fluctuated too much, insufficient gold and silver, and copper coins were too low, and all were not suitable for use as settlement currency. Now the new currency is popular in the capital. If it can be promoted to Suzhou, the entire Jiangnan will accept the new currency."
"Royal Bank is owned by Your Majesty. The growth of the Royal Bank is that the wealth and strength of the Majesty will grow. The money earned by the bank is also His Majesty. I think the current situation should be allowed to intervene in Suzhou and make money for Your Majesty!"
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard about making money, he felt much better, but his face was still ugly.
"You didn't say before that Royal Bank has limited financial resources and should not take too much steps. You should set up a branch in Peking first. Now you have to intervene in Suzhou. What should you do if it exceeds Royal Bank's strength?"
Liu Chun smiled and said, "Your Majesty is wise. Originally, Royal Bank should have waited for a while, but now the opportunity is rare. Your Majesty can follow the flow and accomplish this!"
"How to go with the flow?"
"It is to take over the Suzhou Money House, turn the Suzhou Money House into a branch, and restore business. As long as the Suzhou Money House re-operates and returns to its previous situation, it will be fine."
It sounds easy, Zhu Yuanzhang nodded slightly, but hesitated, "To put it simply, you said, Suzhou money house was run, and so many people were chasing for money, don't they admit it all?"
"This... the debts must be paid back. And if you don't admit it this time, there will be a next time that will severely damage the people's confidence in banknotes. In the future, Royal Bank will be much trouble if it wants to enter Suzhou. So this time, for the long-term plan of Royal Bank, Your Majesty must also take action to save Suzhou money houses. This is the most important thing!"
Zhu Yuanzhang thought for a while, and suddenly his eyebrows moved, and indeed, the fox's tail was exposed!
"Liu Chun! You dare to deceive me!" Zhu Yuanzhang asked sternly, "You said nicely. After a while, don't you let me pay and wipe the butts for the Li family's father and son? Who did I become? Are you a boy's money bag? I, I must kill you and make you die miserably!"
His Majesty the Emperor had red eyes. Liu Chun, the bastard, took money from him again and again. Could you tell me if there were such a bold minister in the entire Ming Dynasty?
This little bastard is even more angry than Li Shanchang and Li Qi!
Kill! Be sure to kill!
"Your Majesty, please allow me to finish my stomach before I die." Liu Chun said pitifully.
Zhu Yuanzhang snorted angrily, "Tell me!"
"Your Majesty, Suzhou Money House has lost its deposits, and has owed a lot of debts, and is facing a run. But Suzhou Money House has another very important thing, that is, tens of thousands of depositors!"
"Your Majesty, please think, wasn't the Royal Bank's initial operation difficult because it could not absorb depositors? Now Suzhou Money Bank has passed the most difficult level. As long as you spend a little money, buy the shares of Suzhou Money Bank and renovate it, you can become a branch of Royal Bank."
"Your Majesty, Suzhou money houses can absorb the deposits of silk merchants and salt merchants. In addition, as trade with the vassal states increases, they can also absorb the deposits of maritime merchants. I use the most conservative estimate that the value of Suzhou money houses is more than tens of millions. Your Majesty only needs to pay one or two million to stabilize the overall situation, and the property of tens of millions will fall into your hands. I am really thinking about Your Majesty. I am sincere. Why should you doubt me? I am even more unfair than Dou E..." Liu Chun said, touching tears, looking really sad.
Old Zhu also calmed down and thought about it carefully. It seemed that Suzhou money houses could not be ruined.
He came to Suzhou to see thousands of people, crazy crowds, crowds of people, how terrible... If this torrent rushes to the court, it would be a bad thing.
It seems that this money really has to be spent... But what's the matter? I came from the capital and gave you money?
The more Zhu Yuanzhang thought about it, the more unfair he felt, and the more he thought about it, the more angry he felt!
"Liu Chun, if you ask me to pay, I can issue an order to the Royal Bank, but the question is, what should you do if you can't clean up the mess?"
Liu Chun frowned slightly. What else can I do? At worst, I can learn from Li Qi and get a boat to go out to sea. Don't worry, I won't go to Japan. I will cross the Pacific Ocean and go to America to be the local emperor. Then I will lead the Indians to colonize Europe and carry out a great counter-killing... In the end, I will only leave a small reserve for the Europeans. As for whether to celebrate Thanksgiving, it depends on my mood.
Liu Chun was a little stunned and hurriedly said, "With Your Majesty's support, how can you fail to succeed? I think Your Majesty should return to Beijing immediately and issue a formal decree to announce that the court will do its best to maintain the stability of Suzhou."
"Just have one will, just?"
"Your Majesty's imperial edict is naturally extraordinary. But I have another suggestion, that is, from the first day to the fifteenth day of the day, the bank will suspend transactions. Leave a half buffer period, and I will definitely do the work in a complete and proper way."
After hearing what Liu Chun said, Lao Zhu realized that he had been in Suzhou for several days and was not far from the end of the New Year. It was indeed time to go back to Beijing for the New Year.
"Oh, it's not easy for you to stay in Suzhou! This year, you have done a lot of things and been scolded a lot. Of course, I scold you for your own good. You are not allowed to complain. If you dare to be dissatisfied with me, then next time, I will not scold you, I will kill you!"
Lao Zhu suddenly smiled and said, "Since you can't leave Suzhou, I will give your father a vacation and let him come over, and you father and son have a reunion year and a reunion dinner. I will wait for you to clean up the mess in Suzhou money house and I will give your father a marriage. Of course, if you have the ability, I want to give you a marriage sooner."
Old Zhu waved his hand at Liu Chun and let him pass by.
Liu Chun could only be obedient, and Old Zhu whispered: "That girl Xu Miaojin and Lan Yu's baby daughter are here. Don't fall into money all day long. Use more thoughts. Can't I really cook the rice and cook it thoroughly? Anyway, I support you, and they dare not do anything to you! Setting up a lifelong event as soon as possible is the right way!"
