Some people are very good, and some people are very bad. This has nothing to do with moral quality. At this moment, Qiu, the censor of the city inspection, and Wan, the commander of the Nancheng Army and Horse Division, are very bad in the eyes of Mr. Li.
.
They could have formed an offensive and defensive alliance to minimize losses, but one of them just wanted to pretend to be crazy and escape, and the other just wanted to take responsibility for his oversight. After a few words from Mr. Li, they ended up in such a mess that nothing could be hidden.
But it is said that Mr. Li plowed the courtyard to sweep holes, and brought the Nancheng Army and Horses Division into a pot, causing a sensation in the whole Nancheng. On the day when the cane torture was demonstrated in the street, the streets outside the gate of the Army and Horses Division were filled with officials, and countless people helped the old people.
When I was young, I came to see this once-in-a-hundred-year spectacle, and it was all the talk in the streets and alleys.
After the notice was posted, more than a hundred merchants reported to the General Procuratorate and accused the Nancheng Army and Horses Division in just three days. Li You basically achieved his goal. If it had been a few months earlier in autumn, during the peak period of goods entering the capital,
This number is probably higher.
Li You wrote a memorial to impeach Nancheng Bingma. The main contents are three-fold. The first is the confession he saw and heard in the Bingma Division, comparing the Bingma Division to a black shop that buys and sells by force.
The second one said, "The Nancheng Army and Horses Division exploited and forced merchants to do business, and the abuses have continued to this day, which has caused the people to boil and complain. One hundred and thirty-seven merchants from Beijing have come to this government office to complain. Seeing the fierce public opinion, if the court had not acted sooner
I am afraid that the businessmen outside Chongwen Gate will be restrained and all businesses will be depressed. I am very worried that prices in the capital will be high at that time, the country will be unstable, and the emperor will be restless!"
Third, he strongly praised Lu Yuanguang, Ambassador of the Chongwenmen Propaganda Branch. Ambassador Lu was upright and dared to fight against corruption and perversion of the law. Not only did he bravely report to the authorities, but he also actively cooperated with the authorities to investigate the case. He was regarded as the person who solved the major Nancheng case.
It was the first step, and he, Li You, just did some of the work that was expected of him.
After the contents of the memorial and various gossips spread, the Nancheng censor and the commander of the Nancheng Army and Horses Division became the laughingstock of the capital official circles.
How can there be such a stupid person? He actually arrested his immediate boss Li Jinxian into the Yamen to extort money. This is equivalent to handing over a witness for an innocent offence. Do you think he died not fast enough? Then Li You, ghosts and gods, can be posted soon.
If the portrait is placed on the door panel to ward off evil spirits, how can it be easy to get along with it?
Mr. Peng Ge has been in so much trouble recently that he is still in the mood to protect Yushi Qiu. Now there must be powerful enemies secretly watching him. As soon as he reaches out his hand, there will be another impeachment memorial flying in the sky.
However, the one who was most caught off guard in the whole incident was Ambassador Lu, who was pushed to the front desk by Li You without realizing it.
Until one day, he saw his name and his image as an anti-corruption hero in Di Bao, and he couldn't help but be shocked. In other words, this was the first time that Ambassador Lu had appeared in Di Bao except for the routine announcement of official selection and appointment...
What Li Qianxian was going to do? Lu Yuanguang, no matter how stupid he was, could still sense what was going on.
Ambassador Lu thought about his situation again. He had no support among the civil servants, and the big shots would not look down on a ninth-grade miscellaneous official who was born in Juren. So if there is a chance to join Mr. Li, who has great hands and eyes, it seems to be not bad...
It's just that Mr. Li seemed to treat him too simply and roughly. He was not subtle, gentle and delicate enough. He also didn't give him a process of tangle, struggle and submission.
After all, he still relied on Eunuch Duan to get the official position. From a humanistic point of view, he had to give a proper explanation.
Li You's memorial was just the beginning. Not long after, the palace approved that the Metropolitan Procuratorate be responsible for a thorough investigation and the preparation of a criminal report. This is in line with the practice. This is what the Metropolitan Procuratorate does. Generally, cases involving officials in the capital will eventually be prosecuted.
Submit it to the Metropolitan Procuratorate for trial.
Mr. Li's previous actions were equivalent to detecting and preliminarily interrogating officials, as well as reporting and impeaching officials from the two yamen. The final judgment was not within his authority. Because the disposal of officials above the eighth rank required the approval of Emperor Zhu, and the current procedure is correct.
It was authorized by the emperor to be tried by the Metropolitan Procuratorate.
Regarding this case, some people are concerned about the progress of the case, while others are concerned about other aspects.
After Mr. Li's legal propaganda during the court trial of the Lianghuai Salt Case last month, everyone in the imperial court, from the first-rank governor to the ninth-rank miscellaneous officials, understood that corruption does not involve bending the law, but rather punishing the stolen goods and recovering them. Corruption involves bending the law, then
Departure options including citizenship and property.
This case is not just about embezzlement, it is obviously a case of embezzlement and abuse of law. Needless to say, gold, silver, jewelry, silk and satin, etc., were directly confiscated and put into treasury. Most people would not be able to think about it, and the risk of daring to think about it is too great.
However, real estate such as real estate deeds and shops are difficult to put into storage. If there is no emperor's edict to dispose of it separately, it is customary to put it into storage after being sold.
Therefore, many people are concerned about these industries. The industries that officials can keep in their hands must be profitable. Even if they are bought at the market price, they are still profitable.
What's particularly interesting this time is that Yushi Qiu actually secretly owns a silver shop in the capital, which is very rare among courtiers.
This rarity does not mean that he violated the law that ministers are not allowed to engage in business. Many capable ministers are often full of tricks, which is not surprising.
What's strange is that among the businesses that the courtiers secretly intervened in, I haven't heard of anyone opening a bank shop on the ground, because industries such as bank banks and silver shops are too professional for ordinary people to play. This Qiu Yushi is a strange person. Rumor has it that there are people in his clan who do it.
He is in this business, so he can recruit people.
When he returned home that day, Master Li went to Aunt Guan's room and announced the good news: "You must be ready to open a bank account in a while!"
Guan Xiuxiu put down the account books at home and wondered: "Husband, don't tell me a joke. I don't have much capital, not many manpower, and no place. How can I open a business? If you want to make money as soon as possible, it's better to do something else.
, it’s too difficult to open a bank account.”
Li You then told the story about Qiu Yushi, and finally said: "My husband has taken down the Qiu family's silver shop this time, which is a good foundation."
Guan Xiuxiu became even more confused, "There are so many powerful people in the capital. There are many people who are interested in this silver shop. Husband, can you do it?"
Li You patted his chest, "There is nothing that my husband can't do!"
Seeing her husband trying his best to show his pride, Guan Xiuxiu couldn't help but chuckle and said: "It's not that there is nothing impossible for my husband, but he never does anything that is hopeless."
Li You burst out laughing. After her husband finished laughing, Guan Xiuxiu asked again: "But are you sure you can beat your royal mistress? She is a cannibal."
Li You often talked to Guan Xiuxiu about his concerns about running a bank account, and discussed related matters. After all, he still had to rely on Aunt Guan to take care of business matters at home, so Li You couldn't do everything by himself.
Therefore, Aunt Guan also knows that the eldest princess Guide has the same thoughts. Now that there is such a ready opportunity, the husband can see it, and so can the eldest princess Guide. The husband may be able to compete with others, but he can win the relationship.
A special eldest princess? You really have to be suspicious.
Guide Chitose may not lack anything, but it is better to have a good foundation than to start from scratch. This is what normal people want.
"Then you have to give it a try, don't let the opportunity go in vain!" Li You said without fear of hardship.
Aunt Guan curled her lips. She was very doubtful about her husband's fighting ability in the face of beauty and power. If it was beauty alone or power alone, she believed that her husband could handle it. But with the combination of beauty and power, he would be afraid.
Have to suffer.
The next day, Li You asked his chief attendant to go to the Tenth Prince's Mansion and send a message to Princess Guide asking for an audience. In the afternoon, an internal supervisor came to the Office of the General Procuratorate and asked him to go to the Tenth Prince's Mansion.
When the two met, Princess Guide was in high spirits and said to Li You with a little excitement: "It's a good idea for you to come. I was just about to summon you."
Li You observed her words, saw her smiling, and asked jokingly: "What's the happy event for Your Highness?"
"After my hard work for the past few months, yesterday the Shaofu opened an office in the imperial city. The location is just north of Guanglu Temple. It originally had three divisions, namely the Huangzhuang Division, the Huangdian Division, and the Huangsalt Division. This is it.
It's a pity that the Weaving Department didn't bring it over. But after you mentioned the bank account, another Imperial Bank Department was added."
Listening to the name, village, store, and salt, it almost wipes out all the royal money-making industries. The main task of the Weaving Department is to supply royal supplies. It is not responsible for making money. It doesn't matter if you don't have it. Li You handed over his hand and said: "Then first
Congratulations, Your Highness!"
Princess Guide accepted Mr. Li's congratulations and asked, "Then please give me some inscriptions."
The inscription... Li You was shocked and said modestly: "The words I wrote are not visible to others. You'd better ask a bachelor to inscribe them."
His Highness Chitose glanced at his lover suspiciously, as if he had never seen him write before. However, he had finished talking about his family affairs, so he asked again: "I don't go to the Three Treasures Hall for anything. Why did you come to see me today?"
"Have you heard about the case in Nancheng recently?"
Princess Guide smiled and said: "Of course I know that you, Mr. Li, broke a corrupt and fraudulent bill and made new contributions to the court. But that Qiu Yushi actually opened a bank in private, which is very interesting."
"Then do you want to eat it? After thinking about it, if you want to open this bank account, the cost is easy to get, but the talent is rare. From calculation to anti-counterfeiting, to interest setting. Without a group of specialized personnel, it will be difficult to operate the bank account
Get up."
His Royal Highness Chitose thought about it secretly. There is indeed a shortage of talents in this field. Should he take over the Qiu Family Silver Shop and use this foundation to make things happen?
However, the eldest princess suddenly had an idea. Her lover must not have brought this up for no reason. He must be trying to persuade her to stay in the bank. She asked Li You, "In your opinion, what should we do?"
Li You said categorically: "You can't lose time and never come back. I heard that although the Qiu Family Bank is not big, it operates very well. Of course, you can eat what you can. Borrowing their experience, it is better than the two of us who are laymen."
It’s better to wander around in the dark.”
To be honest, Li You came to the residence of the eldest princess of the Tenth Prince's Palace this time just to urge Chitose Guide to take action. Only by raising the banner of the eldest princess can he deter others and let others have the same evil thoughts about the bank.
He retreated when faced with difficulties. Otherwise, Li You's reputation wouldn't be enough to make things happen.
"Yes, that's exactly what it should be." Princess Guide acknowledged Mr. Li's persuasion, "I will petition the emperor tomorrow to bring the silver shop owned by Qiu directly into the Shaofu in the form of stolen goods, so there is no need to forcibly sell it.
."
Seeing that the eldest princess had made up her mind, Mr. Li suddenly smiled and discussed in a flattering tone: "Well... if it is changed to our bank account, how many shares should I hold? How about six for me and four for you?"
Princess Guide couldn't help but stand up, glared at Li You and shouted: "Just talking nonsense!"
