One by one, academies related to the eight-legged essays began to search.

In fact, even if the court did not investigate, the Confucian scholars would run away.

Who dares to stay?

Overnight, more than a dozen fires broke out, burning many people to death.

Many ministers in the court were secretly happy when they heard about Fang Jifan's assassination, but soon, they were in tears.

In fact, these people hold the most stocks and mansions, but suddenly, they find that what they hold in their hands has become waste paper.

So they wanted to go to sell it like crazy, but obviously it was too late.

Because at this time, no one cares about stocks and mansions anymore, no one will pay attention to it no matter how cheap the price is.

Immediately afterwards, all the projects in the new city paused.

Those who had previously had tens of thousands of tael silver worth hundreds of thousands, in a blink of an eye, had nothing in it.

The most terrifying thing is that although their mansion is not worth a lot, they still bear heavy loans.

These loans cannot be lost in a penny.

In the Chenghuang Temple outside the new city, the body wearing Ru Shanlun scarf is often found in Shuntian Prefecture.

Many people rumored that this was done by students from Xishan Academy.

In a village outside the capital, a juren opposed the imperial court's capture of their fame and honor, and never recognized the tax collectors coming to calculate the food tax this year with them. After the officials were beaten out, a group of students from the West Mountain appeared and razed the village to the ground.

Even the military farm guards, who have always been kind to others, began to be motivated locally.

The gentry often fails to pay taxes because the land needs to be measured again, but this... is exactly what the Tuntian Guards are best at. They have long calculated the land in various places and sent it directly to the local government. Even if the local parents want to cover up, they have no choice but to order the land tax to be paid. Behind the tax collectors are the Tuntian Guards, and behind the Tuntian Guards is the Xishan Academy. They are good at riding and shooting, and they are particularly cruel. Not only that, they are also behind the Zhenguo Mansion, which is the support of His Royal Highness of the Crown Prince, and behind His Royal Highness of the Crown Prince... is the emperor.

Your Majesty has issued several decrees in succession, forbidden the scholars' words and demanded that the gentry pay the food together...

Among them, the one who suffered the most was the officials in the court.

Not only do they have mansions, but their hometowns also have a lot of land.

Their relatives have already mastered countless lands in the local area, relying on their relationship. This is a large area of ​​land, and once they pay the grain tax, they will be incomprehensible.

Someone started writing a letter, but soon Jingcha came to the door.

Here at the Ministry of Personnel, Ouyang Zhi issued official documents one by one and deposed officials.

It even reached the point where more than a dozen people were dismissed in one day.

Ouyang Zhi had not had a good sleep for several days. After finally taking a nap, he dreamed of his mentor, so he cried. Although he was slow, he realized that his emotions were actually the most abundant. At this moment, no one in the Ministry of Personnel dared to contradict Ouyang Shangshu.

The first seventh day comes in a blink of an eye.

There are no longer anyone wearing Lunqian scarves on the street. All industries are in turmoil. Xishan Money House has generated a large amount of bad debts. In order to collect debts, a large number of people have been recruited to confiscate the mansions and land.

Wang Jinyuan endured the grief. He seemed to have lost his soul. He felt that the sky had collapsed, like a walking corpse. In a daze, he didn't know what he was doing. But... at this most urgent time, he knew... Xishan Money House had a share of the Fang family, the young master and two young masters, and he could not ruin their family's fortune at this time.

So... the accounts must be collected.

So he cheered up and compared the accounts one by one to one. Whoever can't pay the money or the mortgaged property is then ordered to send someone to the door with the bill.

And now, those who refuse to repay the loan are like crucian carp trees crossing the river.

Zhou Tao, a member of the Ministry of Works, is one of them.

At the beginning, he was one of the most popular ones to see Fang Jifan assassinated.

He also has a son, and he hopes to be the imperial examination. He claims to be a disciple of a saint and has a deep hatred for new studies.

But when the mansion and stock prices plummeted, and the momentum was unstoppable, it even caused the local land prices to fall wildly. At this time... he was shocked like many people, and then he thought of his increasingly cheap mansion, so he refused to pay off his debts for his mansion.

The mansion he lived in total was seven acres, and he spent nearly 100,000 taels of silver at the beginning. Of course... he couldn't afford 100,000 taels of silver, but only received a down payment of 10,000 taels of silver. Now he has paid more than 10,000 taels of silver and still owed an 80,000 taels of mortgage.

But now, the price of a mansion has plummeted without warning. For such a mansion, there are now 30,000 taels of silver, but no one cares about it.

After all, this Ministry of Works is good at settle accounts. When the people from Xishan Money House come to the door and start collecting debts, he greeted him with a calm face.

Zhou Tao sneered at the person who was urging the bill in his heart and showed his official manner: "Why are you here?"

The person who received the bill said, "In the meaning of the money house, the master has not paid the mortgage from last month for three days."

"Ha..." Zhou Tao sneered on his face. Why was he still desperate at this moment? Just because of a hateful Fang Jifan, his wealth had shrunk by more than half.

He said with resentment: "Who is this mansion worthless now?"

"This... the villain doesn't care." The person who came to collect the bill was obviously experienced and said calmly: "The contract for the loan was clearly understood and was returned on time every month. If there is a breach of the contract, Xishan Money House has the right to take back the mortgaged mansion and land."

"Cake it, collect it, collect it, I will get out of here! I won't even give you a copper coin now."

Zhou Tao was furious, he was so angry that he vomited blood.

The person who collected the bill said: "Since Mr. Zhou no longer repays the loan, according to the loan he borrowed, Mr. Zhou had mortgaged his current mansion and more than 900 acres of land in his hometown in Shanxi..."

When I borrowed money from a bank, I needed mortgaged items. The higher the money I borrowed, the more mortgaged items. This person meant that if he did not repay the loan, then the Zhou family’s mansion and land would be confiscated.

The more than 900 acres of land are not a small amount, but it can cost more than 20,000 taels of silver. But now... the plummeting of the mansion and the turmoil in the market have also affected Shanxi.

The more the crisis comes, the more people are willing to keep the real money and silver. No one dares to buy land, mansions, or stocks. Because of this... the land in Shanxi is now worthless.

That is Zhou Tao's ancestral land.

But now... in black and white, what method does Zhou Tao have?

What's more, the Xishan Academy behind Xishan Money House sharpened its knives. I heard that because a minister privately said that Duke Qi was good to die, someone rushed into his house that night and dragged the minister out and beat him to death.

But Shuntian Mansion was actually partial.

Zhou Tao had a gloomy face. Thinking about the current situation, he could never pay back the loan.

He calmed down, as if he had made a big decision, and gritted his teeth and said, "Take it all, haha...haha..." He wanted to say that the thief would still harm others even if he died, but these words were finally swallowed back into his stomach under the guidance of reason.

"Since that's the case, I'll be disturbed, and there will be a period of time later." The bill collector didn't say anything anymore because he was still in a hurry to go to the next house.

Countless mortgages have been converted into countless mortgages, land deeds and land deeds, filled with dozens or hundreds of boxes every day and entered the Xishan Money House for sealing. More and more people directly chose not to repay the loan, so that the Xishan Money House fell into a huge dilemma.

Wang Jinyuan still tried his best to maintain the credit of Daming Baochao, and he could not lose it anyway. Although the money shops everywhere had begun to cause a run, Wang Jinyuan still gritted his teeth and allocated gold and silver, constantly maintaining the situation.

Wang Jinyuan knew better than anyone else that once people could not exchange gold and silver in the money shop with treasure banknotes, the consequences would be even more terrifying.

Fortunately, over the years, the money shop has absorbed a large amount of gold and silver, especially the gold and silver brought by the Golden Continent and European tulips, as a deposit, so it can barely support it.

What's more, a large number of Daming treasures have all flowed overseas, and the overseas bank has not yet started to run, so I can breathe a sigh of relief for the time being.

But even so, Wang Jinyuan still felt that it was not easy. The news outside was too complicated and messy.

"Young Master, why did you go? Haven't you always been smart?" Wang Jinyuan couldn't help but murmur. Without the young master, he felt like he had lost his backbone.

If the young master is here, as long as he slapped someone twice, there will be nothing that cannot be solved.

But now... it's really hard... it's really hard.

What are the bad debts?

The money house has recovered so many house deeds from the mansion, as well as the mountainous land deeds and land deeds. Now... these things are no longer worth a penny. If this continues, I am afraid that their value will continue to plummet. The real money and silver loaned by the money house are exchanged for these things that are not worth a penny. This money house... I am afraid that there will be no other way to maintain it in the end. I am afraid that I will be sorry for the dead young master. The young master in the sky will not slap himself in the dream.

…………

At this time, the Fang family was already covered in plain silhouette.

Zhu Xiurong was just a weak woman. She fainted when she smelled the bad news.

But... Fang Jinglong, the king of Xinjin County, suddenly collapsed after hearing the news.

At this moment, Zhu Xiurong remembered her responsibility as a daughter-in-law. She forced herself to stand up and with the help of Fang Jifan's disciples, she began to set up a mourning hall...

It’s a pity... my deceased husband was about to die and did not even leave a complete body, which made Zhu Xiurong even more sad. His pretty face seemed to be covered with white veil, bloodless and pale.
