Chapter 448 Questions about Gold Bonds
Suhe Money House is losing money every year because the Cai family is too bad. Under normal circumstances, it is impossible to deposit large-scale funds, deposit tens of millions of salt money, and threaten them with soldiers. If it is not malicious, what is it?
"Illegal and unknown storage" means that no matter how the imperial court or local officials store, as long as the money in the storage bank is stored maliciously, it is stored in large quantities. Once it is looted, no matter how reasonable and legal this part of the money seems, Cai Hua will not admit it. It is amazing that he declared bankruptcy if he is insolvent and declared bankruptcy, and all debts will be zeroed. Anyway, all the money houses of Suhe, including the money houses belonging to the Liao Kingdom, were all sealed by the two countries, and gold and silver were stolen by the government. Anyway, there is nothing but a storefront, and bankruptcy is normal.
Debts are not allowed to pay off money in this era. Even if you sell your wife, you have to pay off your debts. Therefore, Zhao Ji instinctively thought that Cai Yan would pay back the money, but he didn't think about whether it was so easy for a fool who made a big fuss in the Heavenly Palace to bow his head?
All the companies did not care whether Cai Yan would rely on the court's debts. As long as the gold bonds were not waste paper, they could do it. After hearing this, Su Mei spoke up and asked the China Banking Regulatory Commission to come again, and they all stood up and folded their fists.
"Mrs. We will do our best to explain the gold bonds to the people, and we will not let some villains mess up my Jiangnan!"
Su Mei signaled the families to sit in Chang'an, and then looked at Zhang Tao and the other four who had lost any momentum. She was silent and sighed before sighing.
"You guys have read the letter and I think I know my son's feelings. My son doesn't want Jiangnan to be too turbulent, so he stops in Yingtian, so he is unwilling to make this matter public to the world. But... you guys, Jiangning and Suhu, you must also give your sincerity accordingly, at least make my Prince Ming's Mansion believe that you will not ignore the lives and death of the people due to political and power disputes!"
"As my son said in his letter, although politicians are shameless and full of lies, they still have to abide by the most basic political ethics and cannot exchange their lives for high officials and generous salaries."
Zhang Tao never thought that the court would bet on the wealth and lives of countless people, nor did he think that he would disturb the entire Jiangnan. The battle for control of 500,000 hectares of land was just a battle for the rich to hold the land, rather than a battle for "one percent taxes and one percent tenant rent". No matter how Jiangning or the court suppressed the Suhu family holding the land, it would not affect the interests of the tenants under the name of the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce, and there was no question of turmoil in Jiangnan. However, gold bonds were different. Even Zhang Tao knew what disaster would cause when moving gold bonds.
After reading the letter, what else can Zhang Tao be able to do in the face of Su Mei’s questioning?
"well……"
"Whether the wife believes it or not, we will wait... we have no idea of disturbing Jiangnan..."
"Forget it..."
"We'll wait... and rushed to Jiangning overnight today. We will definitely give our wife a satisfactory reply."
Su Mei smiled and nodded, stood up and said, "The official issued an order for all prefectures and counties in Jiangnan to investigate the collusion of bad merchants in demons... Since someone reported the Liu and Ma families, the trial still needs to be tried. If there is really a collusion of demons, it should be dealt with by the national law, but it cannot guarantee whether the person who reported the report is greedy for profit and falsely accused others. Therefore,... it is better to be fair. The justice elders in Hangzhou should be watched by, or the justice elders assist the prefect in the trial by the chamber of commerce, so that the people in Hangzhou can convince the people of Hangzhou."
Without waiting for Zhang Tao to nod and agree, after listening to the five words "Use the Law of the Chamber of Commerce", Sun Sui could not sit there, so he hurriedly got up and fisted and said, "The law that the lady said is the most fair. Even though I am old, I am willing to assist the prefect in the trial justly!"
Sun Sui took the lead, Wang Xun, Xiao Baoxuan, Qian Duoduo was unwilling to fall behind, so he hurriedly got up and clasped his fists. The family did not know what the "chamber of commerce methods" were, and they knew how many benefits it contained, so they all stood up and clasped their fists.
"We are willing to assist the prefect in the trial justly!"
Zhang Tao breathed a heavy breath, but when faced with the current situation, he had no choice but to accept that the various companies were involved in the judicial trial.
Zhang Tao, Zhang Yuangan, Wang Shixin, Deng Su wanted to take advantage of the opportunity of Liu and Ma families to run to the Cai Mansion, and forced the Cai Mansion to retreat in one fell swoop, but was completely defeated by a letter sent by Cai Baili in a hurry and had to retreat completely. Not only did the Hangzhou government retreat, but the entire Jiangnan government had to retreat and compromise. No one could bear the consequences of Cai Bai's letter being made public. The court could not bear the complete loss of the people in Jiangnan, and even more so could not bear the doubts of the people in the world.
Sometimes this is true. If you can open a Pandora's box, you can open countless magic boxes. People all over the world know that Cai Yan colluded with the Liao Kingdom. In order to get more time to study gunpowder, he barely pinched his nose and admitted this special existence. But when he entered Jiangnan again, he not only forced the court to quell the rebellion and returned in vain, but also took the opportunity to embezzle countless land. Any literati who had been reading for a few days would want the court to repair the bastard and beat him up.
It is also a matter of responsibility for the literati to be beaten up by Cai Li, and it is necessary to seize Su He's money and confiscate the money of the literati, but no one is willing to riot in the court to borrow money!
There are countless private money shops in the world. There are several lending shops in any county. If they rebel, they will confiscate what should be confiscated and what should be sealed. However, the court must not privately print huge amounts of paper money and maliciously store them, and it cannot use military soldiers to maliciously loot the bandits. Today, this method can be used to deal with Suhe Money House, and tomorrow can also be used to deal with them. This is definitely not what all wealthy businessmen and gentry are willing to see. What's more, the court's private printing of countless salt bills is no longer allowed. Once it is invested in the public, what kind of inflation will it cause?
The people of the Song Dynasty were very good at doing business. They knew very well how much money the imperial court privately printed would cause the price to rise, and they knew very well what kind of disaster they would cause to them. Therefore, whenever the officials wanted to issue more salt notes, countless scholars would always oppose it.
A letter saved Liu Ma and Suhu families, and not to mention it. After the families in Hangzhou left the Ming Dynasty Mansion, Su Mei personally wrote an article titled "Questions on Gold Bonds" that day. Perhaps it was learned from Cai Yan. The head of the Cai family did not have a fancy way, but directly explained the relationship between gold bonds and Suhe Money House through question-and-answer methods, and specially put the importance of "China Banking Regulatory Commission" first.
All Hangzhou companies were afraid that the imperial court would use the same methods to deal with money shops in other prefectures and counties. Countless people rushed to all fourteen prefectures in Zhejiang overnight, using their connections to promote the independence of gold bonds, and making every effort to ensure the credibility of gold bonds.
The actions of each company in Hangzhou are too abnormal. If Su Mei did not specifically clarify the relationship between the gold bonds and the Suhe Money House, let alone other people, even the families in Hangzhou thought that the gold bonds belonged to the Suhe Money House. The independence of the two was spreading around the world. Some people were interested in inquire about the secrets. As a result... countless gentry in Jiangnan changed their faces. Regardless of the heavy snow in the north, they sent people to impeach, impeach Zheng Juzhong, impeach Wang Fu, impeach Tong Guan, impeach... Impulse all those who don't like it. Anyway, they will fall on the heads of Suhe Money House on the heads of the big guys in the court, impeach them to deceive the officials and cause trouble for Jiangnan...
