Chapter 181 The Creditor Emperor
Chapter 181 Creditor Emperor
The courage of the Turks had long been smashed by Li Shimin's iron fist.
In front of Mo Daojun, they chose to surrender without resisting for long.
Tang Jian's speed was as fast as a storm, and in an instant he took down countless officials involved in this matter, and for a moment the prison was overcrowded.
When the confession was presented to Li Shiming, Li Shimin did not choose to confiscate and exterminate the families involved in it, but chose a more vicious means.
Need a account!
If you ask who is the most ruthless in Chang'an, it must be His Majesty Li Shimin, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty.
He has countless energy and capitalized money-catching Lingshi (official credit department manager).
These people began to lead their troops to attack frantically, regardless of whether you are a family or not, you will come to the door to ask for money.
These crazy money-catching Shi immediately caused the entire Chang'an to panic.
The aristocratic families began to wail everywhere.
Of course, those who want to take the opportunity to make a fortune and hoard charcoal are not much better.
Because he had enough information in his hand to catch money, he knew exactly who borrowed money to hoard charcoal.
The Wei family has borrowed money from Shizi for half a year.
After all, just by hoarding charcoal, you can earn a steady stream of wealth, and it is far more than the interest you need to catch money, so why not borrow it?
What's wrong with borrowing money from the court to make money for yourself?
They even forced a lot of money-catching Lingshi to borrow money from him.
In this world, people with power are always so unreasonable! Ordinary people who want to borrow money from Lingshi may not even be able to get in, and they only need a note, which is enough.
The Wei family once used the money from the court to make countless wealth.
But overnight, catching money, Shi began to block the door and ask for money, and the entire Wei family fell into panic in an instant.
Suddenly, many families with good relationships in the Wei family came to ask for money. After all, the business was getting more and more, and the Wei family also borrowed a lot from the families with good relationships.
You should know that the wealth of the Wei family occupies almost half of Chang'an.
But in one day, there were a lot of creditors, which made the Wei family, whose life had become difficult since the coal began to be sold, even worse.
There were even a fight between lenders, fearing that the Wei family would pay back other people's affairs first.
Of course, not only the Wei family, but many aristocratic families in Chang'an are facing this embarrassment.
When borrowing money, it was not borrowed in the name of the Wei family as a whole, and the family could not borrow such a great amount of grace. Instead, the entire family borrowed it in the name of each house, and then operated it as a whole. After obtaining profits, each house was distributed according to the profits.
But now, when the creditor comes to the door, no one will let go of it.
Now it is not just the creditors who come to the house. They hoard charcoal at high prices and owed a lot of money from charcoal merchants. These people also come to the house to urge money every day. In this case, the Wei family holds a lot of charcoal in their hands, which is useless at all.
Of course, Wei Ting also knew that the situation was very critical. Once it was really serious, he had to auction the ancestral property, and even needed to sell it at a low price. In this way, the industries accumulated by the ancestral family will be destroyed.
If it were the past, Wei Ting would definitely take other measures. The Wei family was also a wealthy family, a family with former disciples and officials all over the world, and with Concubine Wei as a backer, it was not comparable to ordinary families.
But now, he is really suffering. The aristocratic family has just attacked Furong Garden. Any actions at this time will be done mercilessly by Li Shimin.
At this time, Wei Ting felt more and more terrifying about the monarch Li Shimin.
Because you don’t know which move is real or which move is virtual, it is often true or false, false, and false, which makes people unable to defend against.
Now, I can only bite the bullet and pay back the money first.
"Find a way to sell some gold and silver and pay back some of the money."
Wei Ting called all the officials in each room, then looked at the brothers and uncles in the clan and said coldly: "We are one of our clans, and we must overcome the difficulties together at this time, otherwise when we reach the point of auctioning property and real estate, the family will be really ruined."
The officers in each room looked pale and knew the seriousness of the problem.
They were also anxious at this time, worried that if this continued, the family would be destroyed.
In theory, they have to raise money to solve the current difficulties.
After all, the family is a branch, and everyone is a branch above it. Only when the family is strong can everyone have a good life.
Sure enough, the next day, the Wei family gathered 200,000 yuan of copper coins and handed them over to the Lingshi who caught money.
But the cruel thing is that because the Wei family repays it, more debt collectors began to come to the door.
At this time, these people don’t care whether you are from the Wei family or not. Everyone knows that if you don’t have the money, you may not be able to get it back.
What’s even more terrifying is that with the promotion of coal stones, no one in the prefectures outside Chang'an City collected charcoal. Everyone was waiting for new coal stones to come and buy cheap coal stones.
But if the price is really reduced, it is really a real discount on the money.
Who is willing to do this kind of thing?
The coal stone is really low.
But what can charcoal be compared with others?
Charcoal cannot be sold, so it can only be piled up in the family's warehouse, but how do you live?
You should know that aristocratic families also need to eat, drink, defecate, and maintain their pomp.
Do you all live a hard life like civilians?
Once even the dignity of a noble family cannot be maintained, what kind of noble family is called?
What's more... the Wei family owes so much money, so this hole cannot be blocked.
Almost everyone could see that the Wei family was going to be finished.
Because I don’t pay back the money, I die.
If you pay back the money, you will die.
Moreover, everyone also found that even if you go to some areas in Guanzhong, the Wei family’s charcoal cannot be sold.
Because there will be a secret caravan following them, wherever they go, the caravan will sell coal stones.
Even the Wei family began to sell some marginal industries, no one cared about it.
Because all the aristocratic families are in difficulty and cannot afford to spend extra money, poor families dare not participate in such matters.
A discerning person can see that this is a battle between aristocratic families and emperors, and that is not something that their people can participate in.
Although the Wei family is a wealthy family.
But Li Shimin is even more difficult to mess with.
The Wei family members were so panicked.
The huge family spends astronomical almost every day.
And they still cannot repay the huge amount of debts on their backs.
The family lived an extremely luxurious life because of selling charcoal. Now they are reluctant to even eat meat because once they smell the aroma of meat, they will come to catch money.
The soldiers stayed at the door, and the catching money would look humble, and told the Wei family members, "What's the reason for this if you have money to eat meat, but if you don't have money to pay it back?"
Could it be that we don’t know that we are doing business in the court?
You Wei’s family is so rich that you can’t owe money and not pay it back, right?”
What’s scary is that the more this time, all parties began to have selfish intentions, and some houses began to sell their ancestral property and migrate to the south of the Yangtze River.
The result made the Wei family even worse.
The money-catching Lingshi led the soldiers to the door and scolded Wei Ting in front of Wei Ting, "Why are you repaid all the money in your family, but you are determined not to repay it?"
Could you ask me to go to the court to file a complaint with the contract?"
Thinking back to the time, the Wei family was so glorious. Who would have thought that they would be so depressed because they wanted to make a disaster.
"I can't stand it anymore."
At this time, Wei Ting's cousin, Wei An. He looked pale and said to Wei Ting with a solemn expression: "Now, every day, Shi Deng asked for money, and the family couldn't even pay the interest. What's even more terrifying is that some tribe members could not stand this kind of life and began to flee.
If this continues, the family will be defeated and we must fight back."
Wei An was so angry that he trembled all over. The counterattack he was referring to was Li Shimin. At the critical moment, the aristocratic family really dared to break up with the imperial power.
