Six hundred and fortieth chapters drunkard's intention is not in wine
The owner of the famous Heyuan Yinzhuang in the capital, whose surname is Ye, has only one name. He inherited the family business before he was thirty. He is a well-known young and promising person in Western business circles. Standing among a group of old owners who are at least forty or fifty years old, it is quite strange. To be eye-catching.
Mr. Shang, the former magistrate of Xuyi County, borrowed several hundred taels from five families in total, of which the two hundred taels borrowed from Heyuan Bank was the largest amount. From the perspective of Heyuan Bank, two hundred taels was not a small account. When I heard that Mr. Shang might have to become an official after failing in the election, Yinzhuang was worried that the money would be wasted, so he sent people to the door to collect money, but he was afraid that he would get nothing if he arrived too late.
Mr. Ye likes to do things by himself. He does not entrust all matters concerning the bank to the shopkeepers. He himself often appears at the bank to guide the business. On this day, he was taking stock of the accounts at the bank and heard a report from his long-term follower: "Meng Wucong Back over there…”
Mr. Ye was very unhappy to be disturbed. He raised his head and yelled: "Ignorant thing! Such trivial matters are used to bother me, sir. Just do whatever you have to do!" In such a large bank, there are countless things to do every day. , if he has to report every debt he has, what else can his employer do?
After being scolded, Chang Sui had no choice but to continue to report: "Meng Wu and I had a conflict and were both seriously injured. We are waiting in the hospital now."
Ye Yuanwai threw down his pen, stood up and left the room. He saw Meng Wu and the others in a miserable state, with blood on their bodies, and one of them was lying on the ground, breathing heavily.
Seeing his boss come out, Meng Wu cried and recounted what happened when he went to collect the debt today with added detail.
It turns out that they met powerful people who couldn't stand it, so it's normal for little people like Meng Wu to be beaten. Meng Wu and others are just market thugs hired by the bank to collect debts. Whether they are dead or alive, except for Mr. Ye He didn't take it to heart, focusing on other aspects, and asked: "Do you know who the other party is?"
Meng Wu replied: "The other party didn't tell me his name, and he started fighting with the younger ones without any explanation, so the younger ones really didn't know."
Ye Yuanwai secretly thought that what happened today should be regarded as an ordinary emergency. When extorting debts, you encounter a powerful person. It is not unusual for the people sent to be beaten back, but why does it always feel ominous?
At this time, Mr. Ye didn't know that Shang Zhixian had thrown himself into the river at Jinshui Bridge before, otherwise he would have been even more frightened. He threw himself into the river and went to press for debt. It sounds so inhumane that others can't tell whether it is a coincidence or not.
But it was said that Emperor Jinghe was ignorant about the official debt matter, and no one in the court clearly explained the inside story to him. But nowadays, the emperor who has developed the habit of reading newspapers is not easily deceived by courtiers!
The big news on the front page of today's Mingli Daily is that a certain county magistrate was forced into a river by his creditors in the capital. By the way, the origin of the phenomenon of official debt is explained clearly and clearly, which is an eye-opener for the emperor.
There is also a short follow-up report: After a county magistrate drowned in a river and was rescued that day, Yuanhe Yinzhuang still came to collect debts, and even started a fight unscrupulously, resulting in a serious tragedy. An official named Li, a friend of the magistrate, happened to be present, and out of anger, he stepped forward to fight with The villain tried to reason, but was later involved by mistake.
Finally, a commentator from this newspaper said: The world is bright and clear at the feet of the Emperor. A seventh-grade official only owed his debt for one month and had not defaulted on his debt before he fell into this situation. I threw myself into the river first and was attacked later. His situation is pitiful. If officials don’t feel safe, then do civilians still have a way to survive? This newspaper will continue to pay attention!
After reading it, the emperor, who was very knowledgeable, wrote in the newspaper: "The truth must be revealed" and forwarded it to Feng Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice.
Feng Dasikou was in a dilemma over this matter. If he didn't investigate carefully, he would definitely be despised by the scholars and his reputation would be damaged; if he took it seriously, those money-lending Western merchants would secretly have many supporters, at least openly they would occupy "
The principle of "repaying debts and repaying debts is fair and just", besides, having money can make you go around. I'm afraid you will make enemies inexplicably for irrelevant things.
Feng Shangshu couldn't help but be overjoyed when he saw today's Mingli Bao and the emperor's instructions. First of all, with this stronger public opinion atmosphere, his pressure was relieved. The situation was like this, and no one else could blame him.
Secondly, Mingli Daily named Heyuan Yinzhuang as a model in a big way. He could naturally use this as his main focus to focus on the model to avoid hitting too hard and making enemies on all sides.
Heyuan Yinzhuang also published Mingli Newspaper. That day, Yuanwai Ye also saw the newspaper. When the words Heyuan Yinzhuang appeared in front of his eyes, he was immediately shocked, as if he had been struck by lightning. He was not stupid. If he still reacted at this time
But come on, you don't deserve to be praised for being young and promising.
The matter of official debt was in the newspapers, and there was a bizarre incident such as jumping into the river on the Jinshui Bridge. The court was bound to seek a solution. And as soon as today's issue of the newspaper was published, the two incidents of jumping into the river and committing murder were combined, and there was bound to be an uproar in public opinion.
, causing public outrage among bureaucrats.
The appearance of Heyuan Yinzhuang in the Mingli Newspaper is like adding fuel to the fire. If not, it may become the target of hatred and venting by the bureaucratic class who have the same hatred and hatred. And his colleagues are unpredictable and will inevitably have abandonment.
Che Baoshuai’s thoughts.
It doesn't matter what the truth is anymore. Words of mouth are worth the weight of money. Newspapers are much more powerful than words.
When Ye Yuanwai thought about this, he was so anxious that he didn't want to be the victim of solving the problem. He shouted to his subordinates: "Quick! Quick! Send people to find Mr. Shang and forgive him of all the debts. From now on, the money and debt will be cleared!"
Mr. Liu, the big shopkeeper of Heyuan Silver Village, knew how powerful it was, so he quickly got on the carriage and ran towards the Huaisi Guild Hall. He was speechless all the way, and arrived in less than half an hour.
But the house was empty, and Shang Zhixian was no longer there. According to the steward of the guild hall, Mr. Shang paid off the rent early this morning and went to join his friends in Beijing.
"Which master did you defect to?" Shopkeeper Liu of Heyuan Yinzhuang asked hurriedly.
The steward of the guild hall answered truthfully: "I heard that he is the famous Mr. Li Tanhua."
Shopkeeper Liu said nothing and sent someone to report to his employer. He got on the carriage and continued running towards Xiaoyongfang. He heard that Li Tanhua lived in Xiaoyongfang, west of the imperial city.
After asking around all the way, when they arrived at Li's house, shopkeeper Liu was turned away. No matter whether he asked to see Mr. Li or the magistrate of Shang County, the answer he received was three cold words: "No visitors!" Even if he handed me a red envelope, he didn't.
Willing to accept.
In the end, shopkeeper Liu had no choice but to return to Yinzhuang and report to his employer in person. Mr. Ye sat blankly in the hall, dazed for a long time. At this time, even a fool could see that Li You definitely wanted to take the title of Shangzhi County.
Things are brought into play based on the topic.
The drunkard's intention is not to drink, this sentence came to Ye Yuanwai's mind.
Shopkeeper Liu asked: "My boss, why don't you go to the Shanxi Guild Hall to ask for help from your fellow villagers?"
Ye Yuanwai was very upset at this time and said angrily: "What can they do to help with this kind of thing? I'm afraid they have to stay away. It's better to withdraw from the 21 Western Merchants Alliance and invest in Huichang Bank!"
Shopkeeper Liu found it hard to imagine this situation and hurriedly said: "My boss is really angry."
