Six hundred and fortieth chapters the key to the matter
Li You got up and went to the front hall, where he met a man who claimed to be the owner of Heyuan Yinzhuang. Looking at him, he was thirty years old, wearing coarse clothes, and had no entourage. He was indeed very shabby, and he did not look like a rich man with a fortune of tens of millions.
. He couldn't help but ask: "Are you really He Yuan's boss?"
The man bowed his hands in greeting and said, "It's absolutely true, I am Ye Cheng. You can find out by yourself tomorrow. Because this visit cannot be known to others, I sneaked here late at night incognito. I'm sorry for the rudeness."
Li You was noncommittal, "You said there is something confidential, what exactly is it?"
Ye Yuanwai told the truth: "Today I met with colleagues at the Shanxi Guild Hall. I heard Yuan Yuanwai say that he found out about a major event by chance, and he wanted to use this matter to ask Feng Shangshu and your Excellency for your help to calm the storm."
Li You became interested and motioned to Mr. Ye to continue.
"Lei Yuanwai said that a few years ago, there was a case of stealing and selling seawall spare stones in Zhejiang in the south, but it was never known, and Xujiang County also used this batch of stones at that time..."
When Mr. Ye spoke outside, he secretly observed Li You's expression, but saw that he was as calm as water, without any shock. Over the years, Li You has experienced quite a lot of storms, and he has barely practiced the skill of not changing his appearance.
But being calm on the surface didn't mean that he wasn't surprised in his heart - this matter was finally discovered? Li You pretended to be disdainful and said: "Maybe that person surnamed Lei wants to manipulate people just based on this matter?"
The court and the government, besides, this matter has nothing to do with me, I have a clear conscience."
Ye Yuanwai said carefully: "How could this be so? Lei Yuanwai just wants to use this matter to bargain and tide over the difficulties. How can he dare to be disloyal."
"Then why did you come to tell me tonight?" Li You said calmly.
Mr. Ye implored: "I have nothing to do with reporting the news. I just want you to raise your noble hands and pray for peace and don't suffer the disaster of that fish in the pond. As for the future,"
Li You glanced at Mr. Ye again. "Why did you come to report? I can't think of any reason for you to do this? This is betraying your fellow countrymen."
"Now that my bank is being pointed out by the courtiers, it can be said that it is like a mud Buddha crossing the river. If you are slightly neglected, you will not be able to protect yourself. I dare not place bets on our colleagues working together in the same boat. Only if you are willing to show your noble hand, sir, will you be able to protect yourself."
The real solution." Ye Yuanwai said with a wry smile.
Of course, he had other plans in mind. All things considered, it was difficult to predict the outcome of this dispute in the banking industry, but he could conclude that the Huichang Bank could not lose, and the 21 United Nations could not win.
There is a palace background behind Huichang Yinhao. In other words, unless there is a change of dynasty, who can really bring down Huichang Yinhao? Who dares to bring down Huichang Yinhao?
The essence of the Twenty-one Alliance was just to maximize the right to speak and at the same time create pressure to force Huichang Bank to cooperate with Western merchants, rather than to defeat Huichang Bank. Therefore, Ye Yuanwai concluded that Huichang Bank
The bank account cannot lose. The twenty-one Western merchants cannot win.
If you are on the same boat as Huichang Bank, the current difficulties are no problem, and it may not be bad in the future. People in the banking industry are extremely sensitive to risks. Comprehensive comparison, this is the safest and lowest risk path.
.
Besides, Li You didn't say anything else. He nodded and said, "I know, please feel free." After seeing Mr. Ye off, Li You fell into deep thought.
Li You didn't care about the life and death of Ye Yuanwai and Heyuan Yinzhuang. He wanted to make a difference in the capital's silver industry. It was necessary to unite the majority and work hard towards this goal. Ye Yuanwai was so treacherous.
Speculators will definitely be looked down upon by their peers and fellow villagers in the future. There is no need to offend other giants in the banking industry just for Yuan Wai.
Although Ye Yuanwai saw clearly that Twenty-One wanted to cooperate with Huichang Bank, and also saw that Huichang Bank was unlikely to fail, he did not see that Li You also had a desire to cooperate.
What is being fought for is absolute dominance.
Besides, Li You was a suspicious person, and he was always wary of anyone who speculated casually, even if the person wanted to turn to his side.
At this time, Li You focused on the news brought by Yuanwai. In fact, Li You had little to do with the seawall stones, and he did not participate in the reselling. When the stones were transported to Xujiang County, he was no longer at the River Works Institute and
He went on inspection duty. Anyone who thinks that this batch of stones has anything to do with him is probably the result of rumors.
What's more, he is no longer a small county official. With his current status, it is impossible for others to use him as a scapegoat. There is no need to worry about this aspect. Therefore, if this major incident is revealed, then Zhejiang
The governor, Feng Shangshu, might be in trouble, but he, Li You, thought it wouldn't be a big problem to get through safely.
However, what made Li You worried was not himself, but another person, his nominal teacher Mr. Chen. At that time, Chen Zhixian was in charge of building the Xuhe stone embankment and used this batch of seawall stones. Who knows if there is anything fishy in it?
Although Mr. Chen has a very decent appearance, Li Youzhen cannot guarantee that this teacher is innocent. Li You understands very well that there is no guarantee for this kind of thing in the officialdom. No one can consider the problem based on the innocence, kindness and innocence of others. Rather, he would rather
Think in the worst possible way, think in the most heart-wrenching way.
To say the least, even if Mr. Chen is innocent, the consequences are quite unpredictable. Once the matter of someone embezzling and selling spare seawall stones comes to light, Mr. Chen who has aroused suspicion will still be viewed with suspicion even if it is proven that Mr. Chen was just an oversight.
If you look at it, there are stains on the feathers, and people will talk about it and gossip will spread all over the sky.
Thinking of this, Li You let out a long sigh. This time, he was upright and not afraid of the shadow. No matter what, he was just a small patrol inspector at that time. It was easy to get rid of suspicion. The smaller the power, the lighter the responsibility. But he was only afraid of being dragged down by Teacher Chen.
In a short period of time, I thought about how to deal with it, but I couldn't make up my mind, and I didn't know which one was the best solution.
As he was thinking about it, another question suddenly popped up in Li You's mind. How did the mineman know that the Zhejiang seawall stones three thousand miles away were embezzled and sold?
The stealing and selling of stones was actually done in a relatively covert manner, with the excuse of scrapping unqualified stones used as a cover, and through various tricks. Outsiders couldn't see it at all, and insiders must be tight-lipped to save their lives.
Therefore, this matter has not been known to the public for three or four years. Li You only guessed that there was an inside story based on what he heard and saw, but the specific situation was not much clearer than ordinary people. He only knew that Qian Huangshang of Suzhou Prefecture was involved.
So how did the Leimen who were far away in the capital find out and be so sure? The Western merchants had great wealth, mainly in the north, and the south was not a place where they could penetrate.
Could it be that the key to the matter is here? Li You had a vague awakening. If he didn't consider this and just thought about it from the perspective of bargaining with the minemen, he might be led by the nose...)
