Chapter fifty-seven opening storm (5)
Seeing Deng Tingzhen pondering and saying nothing, Wu Bingjian was not in a hurry, and kept calm and said nothing. When he said this, he would be over. The pros and cons of this need to be weighed and decided by himself. At this time, the most taboo is to interfere and guide.
After a long time of silence, Deng Tingzhen said, "Can Yuanqi Bank eat elephant more polite?"
After hearing this, Wu Bingjian's heart that had been hanging steadily fell back into his stomach, and immediately bowed and said, "It depends on the master of the ministry."
Deng Tingzhen showed a smile on his face. If he could take it easy and not cause local turmoil, it would be a great thing. Although this move would cut off the financial path of many officials and gentry, compared with the huge interests of Yuanqi Bank, it is really not worth mentioning, not to mention that this is a very popular and good policy.
After pondering for a moment, he smiled and said, "You can't be too hasty about this matter. Our department will discuss it with Qi Fuyuan before you can decide." As he said, he said, "Come on, come and invite Lord Qi to come and meet."
Nanhai County Government Office, Guangzhou Prefecture.
The market turmoil caused by the opening of Yuanqi Bank and the distribution of leaflets has long attracted the attention of Liu Kaiyu, the magistrate of Nanhai. However, it was found that Yuanqi Bank was indeed run by the children of the Thirteen Banks. He pretended not to know that it was better to have less than more things, and he did not know anything. Anyway, he did not cause any trouble. However, he still kept paying close attention to the development of the matter.
Nanhai County is located in the provincial capital, and there are more officials who are higher than him, the magistrate of Nanhai, who are better than him, the magistrate of Nanhai. What's more, the Thirteenth Army is not a good-for-nothing lamp. All the merchants are all officials, and the donated officials are higher than those of him, the seventh Army. That's fine. The problem is that merchants are all very good at hand and eyes. If you have nothing to do, you can get to the Governor, Governor, and Guangdong Customs Supervisor. Now Thirteen Army is in trouble. He doesn't want to provoke Thirteen Army at this time.
However, Liu Kaiyu didn't want to cause trouble, but the trouble came to him. After hearing the news, Zhang Shixin, the manager of the bank mansion, came to visit, and he knew that the trouble was coming. He was unwilling to provoke the Thirteenth House. He was also unwilling to offend the bank mansion. These people have close ties with local officials and aristocratic families.
To put it bluntly, whether it is an incumbent official or aristocratic family on the ground in Guangzhou, they openly or secretly set up a bank shop with a ticket account or pawnshop. The bank mansion is not something he, a small seventh-grade sesame official, can easily offend.
Zhang Shixin walked in quickly. After seeing the ceremony, he did not exchange greetings and said directly: "Mr. County Zunzun, the Yuanqi Bank opened by the 13th Bank's children has malicious competition, disrupting the market, and has triggered a large-scale bank run. Now the market is turmoil, people are panic and terrified of chaos. I hope that County Zunzun will quickly send people to ban Yuanqi Bank's semicolon in the county."
Check the Yuanqi Bank semicolon? Isn’t this catching lice and putting it on your head? Liu Kaiyu didn’t dare to reject him openly, so he could only be perfunctory and shouted loudly: “Come here!”
A servant quickly flashed out and bowed and said, "What are the instructions of the great master?"
"It is reported that Yuanqi Bank is maliciously competing, disrupting the market, so we can quickly find out."
"Little one obeys the order."
"Go and go back quickly, don't disturb the people, and don't cause riots."
"Small understand."
Zhang Shixin rolled his eyes, what does it mean to not disturb the people or cause riots? The waiter retreated, and he spoke: "The Xiguan Piao Bank is crowded with money houses, and there is no need to make it clear. If there is a run and causes market turmoil, the county master, as a parent, is afraid that he will not be able to shirk it."
Liu Kaiyu listened with a smile. He was responsible for something that was going to happen, but if he really sent someone to ban Yuanqi Bank, his troubles would be even greater. After pondering for a moment, he said, "Manager Zhang has come all the way, have you heard that there is a rumor outside that the Governor went to Yuanqi Bank."
"Nonsense." Zhang Shixin immediately refuted: "The Governor General is busy with all his life, how could he leave to the small Yuanqi Bank? Is this kind of rumor that the County Lord believes?"
"I naturally don't believe it." Liu Kaiyu said with a smile: "However, it is not difficult for the Thirteenth Businessmen to meet the Governor." After a pause, he continued: "In recent days, Xingtai Bank has owed more than 2 million foreign businessmen's debts, which has caused a lot of controversy..."
Seeing this situation, Zhang Shixin knew that this guy was willing to shirk responsibility. He was afraid that it was impossible to rely on the Nanhai County Government to investigate the ban on Yuanqi Bank. He did not have the leisure to listen to his nagging, so he hurriedly bowed his farewell.
Zhang Shixin thought that Panyu County was not reliable, so he did not go back to the bank mansion and turned straight to the Guangzhou Government Office. Then he turned to the bottom of the double doors. He heard a noise, opened the curtain and saw that the street was in chaos, so he quickly got out of the sedan chair and grabbed someone and asked, "What's going on before?"
"Yuanqi Bank has been sealed!" The man said a word and quickly left.
Zhang Shixin was stunned and was seized. Who ordered the seal? Shuangmendi Street was under the jurisdiction of Nanhai County in the west and Panyu County in the east. Could it be that Panyu County Government took action? He quickly walked up to him.
When he got closer, he realized that the situation was more serious than he expected. The Yuanqi Bank branch was located on East Street, which was the territory of Panyu County. More than a dozen yamen soldiers were blocking the gate of the yamen, and hundreds of people surrounded the surroundings and made noises. Judging from the situation, it seemed that the people did not allow the yamen to seize it.
Seeing that more and more people were coming up around, Zhang Shixin took a few steps back when he was afraid of an accident. Seeing a young fat man cursing, he asked quickly: "People from Panyu County Government?"
This fat man is no one else, Yan Shikuan. He was placing his feet and stretching his neck to look in, while he cursing. When he saw someone asking, he said impatiently: "On the government office."
Yan Shikuan was responsible for inquiring about information outside this semicolon. When he saw a group of yamen soldiers coming forward, he stepped forward to handle things, hoping to delay the time, but unexpectedly, the other party took the money and drove him away. After sending the servant back to report, he became more and more angry as he thought about it. However, when the situation was chaotic, he did not dare to go forward, so he jumped and scolded on the outside.
In the middle of the two-door sub-collection of Yuanqi Bank, looking at the chaos outside, Kong Jian'an was heartbroken. The secron was sealed by the government, which means that Yuanqi Bank was finished and comforted the shopkeeper and the clerk in the store, he said to the soldier who led the team: "Official, if there are too many people outside, it is easy to get into trouble. Can you please comfort them?"
"Who are you?"
"The following is the second shopkeeper of Yuanqi Bank."
"Ha, the relationship is good, hurry up and drive them away."
Kong Jian'an carried a chair, walked out of the gate, put it on, stood up and whispered: "I am the second shopkeeper of Yuanqi Bank, everyone is quiet!"
