Chapter 660 If there is profit, there must be supervision
Falling out is faster than flipping through a book.
Zhu Hao thought to himself, this guy is really stupid. It's obviously your money, but I used it to steal the bank account. I made the reputation of the bank account completely, and let people know that it is very safe to store money in the bank account. Then I took the money that originally belonged to you.
If you come back, you can make a good person?
"Marquis Jianchang, please quickly find someone to count the money so that I can go back and recover. But before you leave, you must sign the receipt," Zhu Hao said.
Zhang Yanling burst out laughing: "What's so unbelievable about this? Come on, come find Mr. Accountant!"
The old servant whispered: "Sir, the accountant hasn't come back yet."
Zhang Yanling was startled, and then he remembered that because his accountant was still young, he had dragged him along to rob a bank account. As an accomplice, there is still no trace of him. He does not know whether he was dismissed, in prison, or was punished and exiled.
Guarding the border, it's hard to say.
"Then find someone to do the counting."
Zhang Yanling said angrily.
The old servant said: "Master, they are all high-quality official silver. I think the number should be about the same, so I just pick the copper coins and weigh them with a scale. It will probably be fine!"
"Why don't you hurry up?"
The old servant retreated with disgrace.
There were tens of thousands of taels of silver, part of which were copper coins. For this old servant, it was not an easy task to complete the weighing.
"Zhu Hao, I forgot to ask you, who are you running errands for? This money..." Zhang Yanling was waiting to weigh the money, but suddenly thought of something and asked Zhu Hao, who was waiting nearby.
Zhu Hao smiled and said: "Running errands for the imperial court."
Zhang Yanling said angrily: "I ask you, are you here for Mr. Yang Ge? Could it be that Mr. Yang Ge helped me get the money back?"
"no."
Zhu Hao shook his head, "Mr. Yang Ge was indifferent to this. His Majesty even proposed to let the two marquises go home early, but he was rejected by Mr. Yang Ge. His Majesty also repeatedly ordered the Ministry of Punishment to treat the two marquises well and not to torture them. Your Majesty
In gratitude to the Queen Mother for her kindness, we have decided to return the money of the two princes, and we have also accepted your appeal and told the public that you went to the bank to withdraw money that day, and it was not a blatant robbery."
"Oh, so that's it...but aren't you very close to Yang Jiefu's son?"
Zhang Yanling was a little confused.
Zhu Hao said: "We are all working for His Majesty, what's the difference? Oh, by the way, I was born in Prince Xing's Mansion. I am a native of Anluzhou, Huguang, and are from the same hometown as Your Majesty... I hope that Marquis Jianchang will take good care of me in the future."
"Easy to say."
Zhang Yanling couldn't figure out what was going on.
He secretly wondered, isn't it said that the new emperor and the man named Yang are incompatible with each other?
How could the person surnamed Yang re-appoint a top scholar from Anlu and let his son get involved with him? Is it a moral corruption or a distortion of human nature...
Survive or perish, these are the questions.
Zhu Hao is not worried about what Zhang Yanling goes out to promote.
If you have the ability, go to Yang Tinghe and send a message. Originally, both sides are working, so who is not working for them?
As Zhu Hao said, I am an errand for the imperial court.
If someone named Yang wants to target me, go ahead!
…
…
After Zhu Hao and Zhang Yanling completed the handover, they went to Shouning Hou Mansion again.
The treatment Zhu Hao received in the Shouning Marquis Mansion was much better than that in the Jianchang Marquis Mansion. After Zhang Heling received the money, he took Zhu Hao's hand into the living room affectionately and said he wanted to treat Zhu Hao to dinner.
Zhang Heling said: "As soon as I looked at you, I knew that you were the kind of resourceful and wise person. Don't blame my second brother, he has no brains! If you hadn't had an idea and said that our brothers were going to withdraw money that day, your Majesty would probably
You want to help us, but I don’t know what excuse to use. By the way, what’s your name?”
Zhu Hao smiled bitterly. He even forgot my name. He is not as good as your brother. What are you doing with me here?
Zhu Hao smiled and said, "Zhu Hao, whose courtesy name is Jingdao."
"What a good name. I will definitely promote and use you in the future. If anything happens, just come and send a message! Oh, by the way, how do I remember that Meng Zai mentioned you in front of me? It's Jiang Mengzai, Uncle Yutian, do you know him?"
Zhang Heling didn't know which string in his heart was touched, so he suddenly asked.
Zhu Hao said: "I am also an old friend of Uncle Yutian. They are both from Anluzhou, Huguang."
"Oh, that's it, that's good. Call him later and let's have dinner together. If you have something good to do, remember to call me... Come on, come on, I'll have someone arrange a banquet for you. We brothers have a good time.
A meal."
Zhang Heling was a bit stupid, but he could still be reasonable. Zhu Hao helped him, so he wanted to reciprocate the favor.
Zhu Hao, however, had no intention of dining at Shouning Hou Mansion.
Zhu Hao said: "I'm on an errand for the imperial court. I can't delay. I have to leave as soon as I finish my work. Hou Ning, if you have the opportunity in the future, I'll entertain guests."
"How can I be embarrassed to ask you to spend money? Then we can make an appointment later." Zhang Heling said politely, but in fact he didn't want to spend money to treat Zhu Hao to dinner.
He was not familiar with Zhu Hao, and in his eyes Zhu Hao was just an errand, so he didn't think he could get much benefit from Zhu Hao.
…
…
When Zhu Hao finished his work and came out, Lu Song was waiting outside.
"Okay, it's okay. Everything is in place. Let's go back now."
Zhu Hao smiled.
Lu Song said: "Dongzhu Su came back from Xuan Mansion and said he wanted to see you."
Zhu Hao nodded and went to see Su Xigui with Lu Song.
After going to Xuan Mansion to settle everything, Su Xigui returned to the capital and completely let go of all the burdens in his heart. He seemed much more energetic. When he saw Zhu Hao, he came forward to salute and greet him.
"I have specially prepared a small gift..."
Su Xigui didn't say what he wanted to give, but he was anxious to express something.
Zhu Hao helped him a lot this time. He notified him in advance to fix the loopholes in the previous Xuanfu. In this way, even if Yang Tinghe sent people to check the old accounts over the years, no clues would be found. He would give him all the witnesses and material evidence at once.
All wiped out.
Zhu Hao raised his hand to interrupt Su Xigui's words and said with a smile: "Mr. Su, you are so polite. No need for gifts. It's a matter of mutual benefit. I don't want Mr. Huang to be unable to continue serving the court because of the criticism from the villains in the court, otherwise he will be killed."
It will be a loss to the Ming Dynasty."
Su Xigui said: "Gifts still have to be given. The young master has contributed a lot this time, so I have to accept them no matter what, otherwise I will feel uneasy!"
Zhu Hao shook his head: "I really didn't do much...Besides, let's wait until the matter calms down completely before talking about it."
"Yes Yes."
Su Xigui said he was submissive, but it was clear that he gave the gift not only to thank Zhu Hao for helping him before, but also to allow Zhu Hao to continue to play a role in front of the new emperor, to ensure Huang Zan's status in the six southern divisions, and to ensure that Huang Zan could go to the north in the future.
The Ministry of Revenue came to prepare as Minister.
"Little Master, let's have some tea... After I returned to the capital, I learned how powerful you are. In the past few days, the number of people who came to the bank to deposit money was not less than 100, including those from wealthy households, not to mention those from wealthy private households.
How many! This time, it can be said that everyone in the world knows that the silver number is protected by the imperial court, and the safety of the money deposited is absolutely guaranteed. The young master is really a god."
Su Xigui complimented Zhu Hao again.
Zhu Hao said: "Now that there is more money, the risks are correspondingly greater. All accounts must be clear. Regarding bad debts..."
"We have been reviewing the qualifications of all the people who come to borrow money. Currently, we will not lend money without collateral. Don't worry, little master. I also understand. This is related to the internal peace of the Ming Dynasty. If there is any deviation...I am afraid that I will lose my entire family and cannot afford to pay for it!"
Although Su Xigui didn't say anything about it, he knew very well that if there were any problems with the accounts, he would definitely be responsible.
Zhu Haohe and Zhu Si behind him are actually mainly providing policy support and realizing it through policies.
Su Xigui is responsible for the specific operations and relies on personal connections and specific operations to obtain profits.
Zhu Hao nodded: "After this matter is settled, the bank has officially moved from behind the scenes to the front. I believe that someone will make a fuss about this next step and propose to supervise the bank. But from a certain point of view, the relationship between the bank and the bank is
It is a spontaneous act of private merchants, and profits and losses have nothing to do with the court!"
"We must grasp the appropriateness of this. I
All we can do is not to involve the Ministry of Revenue, but the Ministry of Internal Affairs may play an important role in it."
"Yes Yes!"
Su Xigui nodded one after another.
Zhu Hao said: "Your Majesty's original intention was to use Dongchang to supervise the bank..."
"Ah, this..."
Su Xigui was obviously reluctant.
Even if Dongchang is also a member of the new emperor, those eunuchs with mutilated bodies are mostly vampires. The Zhengde Dynasty has seen too much about Su Xigui, and an extra layer of jurisdiction means an extra layer of exploitation. In addition, can the people of Dongchang act like
It's really hard to explain how Zhu Hao talks about rules and efficiency.
Once a bank is tainted with bureaucracy, it will be difficult to operate it for a long time.
Su Xigui has always believed that only Zhu Hao is the best business partner. The most important thing is that Zhu Hao understands the rules of businessmen, which is honesty and trustworthiness.
Zhu Hao said: "Of course, I told Your Majesty that as long as the bank operates normally, there is really no need to add more people to it. At most, you can allocate a few accounting people to me and calculate the accounts clearly."
"That's true..."
Su Xigui understands.
Now Zhu Hao will not be involved in the daily operations of the bank, but he does not want to relax his supervision of the bank.
You, Su Xigui, put profit first in everything. Who knew you wouldn't use some conspiracy in managing accounts?
The amount involved is not tens of thousands taels of silver, but millions or even millions of taels, and in the future it will exceed tens of millions of taels of silver.
Zhu Hao smiled and said: "Dr. Su, don't be so formal. Tell me about the current situation in the south and Xuanfu. I'm in the capital and don't know much about things outside. How is your business doing now?"
"well enough."
Su Xigui sighed: "The young master also knows that I am mainly engaged in official salt business. There is a severe drought in the south this year, especially in the coastal areas. It has not rained for several months. Continuous high temperature exposure is not a good thing for the people, but official salt
However, the output has increased significantly. Kitchen households can now make salt without using firewood, and their enthusiasm for production has increased a lot. Many households who have fled have returned to work obediently. Nowadays, the establishment of kitchen households is not what anyone wants."
In the past, despite the hard work of Zaohu households, they could not earn much money. In the end, many people deserted.
But since the Ming Dynasty changed the method of drying salt, kitchen households have become popular.
Su Xigui sighed again: "It's just that the situation in the southern household is not very good, but in the past few years, disasters have continued in the south, natural and man-made disasters have occurred one after another, and the northern household has been constantly urging people to turn in grain taxes, which has made Mr. Huang very anxious. It's Huang.
You are a great talent, and now you are thinking of quitting, but I don’t know when..."
He was vaguely making excuses for Huang Zan again.
Su Xigui is a political broker, and he has two purposes.
One is to make money, and the other is to make the backers more powerful and make more money.
Although the new emperor is also his backer, his real backer can only be Huang Zan. Only if Huang Zan rises high will he be able to succeed in the business.
"Come soon, next year."
Zhu Hao gave a relatively reliable time.
This is tantamount to telling Su Xigui that the old school of civil servants will collapse in the coming year.
