After the wedding wine, Li Guolou said goodbye and left, and Xiao Dezhang was sent to the entrance of Liangziku Hutong. Li Lianying took good care of his subordinates. Xiao Dezhang was transferred from the Ministry of Internal Affairs to the West Palace and was very satisfied with it. He became a eunuch close to the Empress Dowager Cixi and had great living conditions.
It was much better than before, and there was already a young eunuch waiting for him. The two of them spoke respectfully and waved goodbye. There were some words that didn't need to be said, but they were all kept silent.
Wei Xiaoliu said cautiously: "Father, as soon as we opened our business, we grabbed the territory and squeezed into other people's territory. This is against the rules of the business world. People will punish them to death. Besides, people are separated from each other, those eunuchs
There are also people who collude with Wanjia Bank. There are also people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs who are lending usury outside. If we open a bank here, they will be very unhappy."
Li Guolou nodded and said: "I know, Wanshou Lu will know what I just said tonight. Anyway, it is just a joke at a banquet. Can the bank establish itself here if you come in? It's too early to say now. If it can't be opened, I will
There won’t be much loss, but those big eunuchs who want to make money will be unhappy. This is also a power struggle in the palace. I can only give you a golden idea. Will it work? It depends on who has more power."
Wei Xiaoliu shook his head and said: "I don't think anyone is willing to break the rules that have been established for more than a hundred years. Xiao Lizi dare not ask about political affairs. There are so many eunuch leaders with different ideas. No one can dominate the world."
Li Guolou smiled and said: "Xiao Liuzi, are you stupid? We don't dominate the world. If we have one more bank, we won't show off. Who dares to stand up and oppose us? Wait until we rely on strength to become bigger.
, they want to oppose us, but they don’t have the strength anymore. Even a golden idea requires accumulation, how can it directly force people to death? It will take at least four or five years until we become bigger and stronger. You can wait until you have your son."
Wei Xiaoliu scratched his head and chuckled a few times, as if he wanted a son. He couldn't be in a hurry because his wife hadn't married him yet.
"Father, the dead eunuch is too cruel to make money. One position actually costs you 4,000 taels of silver. He doesn't care about success or failure. He will ask you for 8,000 taels of silver in the future. This is too cruel." Wei Xiaoliu was still unwilling to give in, "
"Twelve thousand taels of silver" was a terrifying figure. Li Lianying spoke freely and dared to ask for it without caring.
Li Guolou sighed: "Xiao Liuzi, you don't know, the eunuchs have been spoiled for a long time, and even their masters don't know how rich they are. So I want to defraud their money and let these wastes work for the construction of the Qing Dynasty."
contribute."
Wei Xiaoliu burped from wine and said with a smile: "Father, from the time I met you until now, you have always been wrong. You are the only one in the world who can see that the dead eunuch has a gold mine in his hands."
Li Guolou raised his voice and said: "Hey, you don't even think about it. Who would shed tears in the palace without making money? Xiao Dezhang had himself castrated. He passed out for three days and only got up after five days. Now he
Isn’t spring coming?”
After drinking, Wei Xiaoliu uttered the truth: "You still have more spring."
"Hey, hey, hey!" Li Guolou looked up at the blue sky. The day of reunion was just around the corner. His success was inseparable from women. He suddenly remembered the scene of having fun in the same bed with all the grandmothers, and couldn't help but smile.
The sky was clear and cloudless in the afternoon, and people were in high spirits after happy events. Li Guolou went straight to the Yamen of the Criminal Department. Taking advantage of the free time, he went to see an old friend and wanted to know the latest progress of the theft of treasury in the Ministry of Finance. This was a place with limited information.
The times are like people in Taoyuan. People there do not understand the changes in the world.
Li Guolou also had an ulterior motive, that is, once the theft of silver from the Ministry of Revenue was revealed, the implication would be wider. The emperor and the two empress dowagers would think that the treasurers in the Treasury of the Ministry of Internal Affairs must also have stolen in this way.
For Kuyin, the deficit is filled through the filling in the fire consumption.
Every year, slaves steal the silver from their palace, and they actually hide it from them for more than a hundred years. This change of the silver system circulating in the Qing Empire is targeted. The emperor and the empress dowager above are likely to agree to implement the silver dollar system, completely changing the Qing Dynasty.
The outflow of imperial silver.
Li Guolou presented two new statements from Li Hongzhang. One was about betraying national sovereignty and could not escape criticism from the people and would be nailed to the pillar of shame in history forever. The other about the reform of the silver dollar system was likely to be passed in court.
, and as an advocate, he is likely to be given an important position by the court.
At the same time, an earth-shaking event is taking place in the Ministry of Finance, and an operation to capture the criminals who stole the treasury banknotes is imminent.
The door of the treasury was slowly closed. Thirty bald and shirtless treasury soldiers filed out, doing somersaults as usual, so that the guards next to them could see clearly that they did not go out with any silver ingots. Six people outside the door
The officials each picked up a seal to seal the door of the treasury, and everything went according to plan.
The water did not leak. There were more than 20 soldiers staring at them, some of them were snakes and rats, colluding with the 30 soldiers, such as the six officials who posted the seal. And those holding muskets
The soldiers were unaware that someone was stealing money from the treasury in front of them.
Suddenly, a voice came from outside the courtyard door. Yuanwai Lang Ma Zhijun led a group of people into the courtyard and shouted: "Everyone stop here, the Criminal Department is investigating the case. Mr. Yu and Mr. Bao are here;;;;;;"
But he saw a hundred heavily armed criminal policemen, led by Bao Yiyi, surrounding the people in the compound.
Ma Zhijun, the foreign minister, did not dare to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead. He knew in his heart that the Treasury Bank case of the Ministry of Finance had been solved. Yu Shuzhen, the Minister of the Ministry of Finance, and Shubao, the Minister of the Ministry of Justice, came together, catching him off guard. Looking at the gang of policemen, sure enough,
The few times I dealt with him, the police were there, and the bald guy was particularly eye-catching, but I didn't see Li Guolou.
Ma Zhijun has long figured out that there is a big difference between the crime of accepting bribes and the serious crime of stealing treasury money. He doesn't care about the life or death of his subordinates. As long as he keeps his mouth shut, no one can give in.
Yu Shuzhen said: "Master Bao, please!"
Bao and Bao stroked their beards together, walked into the courtyard, paced, looked at the group of frightened guards, and said: "The sky net is vast and there is no leakage. Since I am here, I am here to arrest the thieves of the treasury money."
If any of you have violated the law of the country, you will not be punished according to the truth."
Looking at the police officers with live ammunition around them, their guns were pointed at them. Zhao Youguo, the official who posted the seal, turned pale and hurriedly confessed: "Mr. Bao, Mr. Yu, Mr. Ma, we do things according to the rules here, and there is no favoritism.
fraud."
The other five officials next to him also echoed and loudly said that they were wronged. Bao remained silent and listened to the complaints of several officials from the Ministry of Household Affairs. He knew very well that these officials could not be good people. This benefited everyone from top to bottom, but he and he
Yu Shuzhen, the Secretary of the Ministry of Household Affairs, had already discussed it. It was enough to catch the current criminal who stole the treasury money. The big tree where the group of macaques was hanging was to spare their lives and give them a way to survive, so as to save some face for the Manchus and not embarrass the court.
Bao Datong waved his hand to interrupt the speeches of several officials, and said thoughtfully: "Of course I know the right and wrong when I come here. Those who are clean will be clean. No need to say more. Whoever wants to deceive the superiors will not be able to do it. The guilty ones will not be able to do so.
If you don't kneel down and plead guilty." After saying that, Bao and Bao sat on a chair of the Grand Master, took a cup of tea, and drank the tea with their official airs down. They remained motionless and looked at the thirty anxious soldiers with a sneer on their faces.
I thought to myself: How long can the silver ingot be hidden in the chest? If it is not taken out, life is at stake. Now let’s see who can spend more money than whom?
The six officials were spying on each other, and they already knew that they could no longer hide anything. They all lowered their heads, with extremely ugly faces, and cold sweat on their heads. No one dared to speak. This silver is poisonous to the human body, and heavy metals are
How can it last long in a person's stomach? If he continues to hold it in, he will fall to the ground and die.
At this time, the thirty Manchu soldiers knew that the case had been discovered. The unique skills that had been hidden for hundreds of years since the Ming Dynasty were about to be revealed to the world. Suddenly, like an old hen laying eggs, a soldier
A silver ingot was born, and with a clang, three silver ingots fell down in succession, landing on the bluestone floor.
But I saw a group of soldiers kneeling on the ground, shouting: "Sir, spare my life!" "Sir, please have mercy!" "I will explain everything!"
While kowtowing to confess his crime, he gave birth to silver ingots. There were thirty treasury soldiers. The capable ones gave birth to three silver ingots, and the weak ones also gave birth to two silver ingots. Thirty old hens laid eggs. It was absolutely weird and ridiculous.
The scene was very moving, with wild laughter and kowtows and confessions. Of course, the six officials were not exempt from guilt. Their knees went weak and they all bowed their heads and confessed. They were stripped of their official robes and hats on the spot, and it was inevitable to wear the hat of a revolutionary official.
Bao Yiyi shouted loudly: "Come on! Give them all to me and escort them back to the Prison Department Prison."
"Zha!" Ai Hai and other detectives shouted loudly. They had solved the largest case in the Qing Dynasty. This honor would shine on their career.
Ma Zhijun pretended to be impressed, knelt on the ground, and said, "Master Yu, this subordinate deserves to die. I didn't know he raised a bunch of villains who were guarding and stealing from others. Please punish me, Master Yu."
"Hey!" Yu Shuzhen let out a long sigh and glanced at the large number of household officials behind him. The law does not punish everyone, and no one is innocent. They usually receive filial piety money, and they have this "silver egg" income. Now they are all pretending to be stupid.
He said, "I never thought that this trick could be used to steal treasury money!" He distanced himself from the relationship with the case of missing treasury money and said that he had been deceived.
"Master Bao will investigate the case. Who is guilty and who is not guilty? There will be a time when the truth comes out. If you have anything to say, you must tell the truth. The so-called leniency for those who confess and those who are strict, our laws in the Qing Dynasty are fair and selfless. You
Take care of yourself. Don't slander others. I'll look at your own performance.
Now, this time something like this happened in our household department. Those servants were really unscrupulous and brought shame on their ancestors. I am embarrassed to see them and feel ashamed for them! The lesson is profound and the consequences are disastrous. Mr. Ma
Immediately make corrections to me and plug the loopholes;;;;;;"
Yu Shuzhen talked eloquently and non-stop, using the treasury compound as a stage for his speech. Hundreds of audiences listened to his speech. When Bao and a group of policemen escorted the criminals away, Yu Shuzhen was still talking. He said at least two words in a speech.
For more than an hour, none of the full-time staff in the household department listened to him.
Give him a stumbling block. From this moment on, Yu Shuzhen knew that those Manchus would only kneel in front of him and be scolded. Whoever he wanted to die would be overthrown. The Manchu officials in the Ministry of Revenue were now honest, and the stabbing general
After eradicating them all, with "Jai Zi Liu" as the backstage and fellow sect "Bao Yiyi" as allies, he cannot be defeated.
The people on the street were watching the excitement. More than 30 criminals were escorted out from the Ministry of Household Affairs. There was a formation of hundreds of people. What was it like? The street had already exploded.
"Bao Qingtian is out!" "Master Bao makes the decision for the people!" "Down with the corrupt officials!" "Bao Qingtian is a literary star descended to earth!"
Crowds of people swarmed over and knelt down on both sides of the street. The Qing Dynasty needed Bao Qingtian and could not do without Mr. Qingtian, who made decisions for the people.
After greeting each other with fists, Bao Yiyi finally sat in the carriage. The car was driving forward. Bao Yiyi had a lot of thoughts, a mixture of joy and melancholy. He murmured to himself, "Bao Qingtian! I am Bao Qingtian! I am Bao Qingtian!"
It’s Wenquxing who descends to earth
! Hey, how difficult it is to be a Qingtian! I can’t be corrupt anymore, I can’t take bribes anymore, I really want to be a clean official, I think I’ve made enough money. I should learn from Zuo Zongtang and turn a blind eye to my subordinates.
Only by focusing on one's own eyes can one be promoted to a higher level."
Thinking of the 200,000 taels of silver he invited to invest in the bank, the money will roll in, the silver will roll in, and there will be no need for corruption. Bao Yiyi's ideological realm has made a huge leap. He upgraded to Buddha, undisturbed by the worldly world, and shut up.
Close your eyes to meditate on your thoughts and morals.
