The run on the storm is not over yet.
All the people in the capital, who have anything to do with the Zhu family's bank, are all panicked.
"The Zhu family is about to collapse."
Here are the thoughts and concerns of all
"I have fifty taels of Zhujia Qianzhuang Tongchang bank note in my hand, and I sell it for forty taels. Do you want it?"
"don't want."
As night fell, countless people holding banknotes from Zhu's bank were looking for a way out.
When everyone's attention was focused on Zhu's Bank, a businessman surnamed Li brought his buddies to Zhu's shop to buy goods.
He supplies the Zhu family all the year round, and also participates in the Zhu family's sea trade.
Now seeing that the money will be wasted, it is possible to recover a little bit.
"Quickly, quickly, take all these goods away."
"You can't buy goods. These are all goods from our Zhu family."
"Fuck your mother, these are all products from our Li's House."
"Our Zhu family will settle the bill."
"Closing the fart, expecting you to settle the bill, it is better to expect me to be faster. Move them all, and leave nothing behind."
In a certain house in the capital city, the clerk hurriedly came to the owner's house, "Master, the master of the Li family is taking people to Zhu's shop to move goods."
"Is this true?"
"It's absolutely true. I saw it with my own eyes."
The middle-aged man who is called a master has a dignified expression.
Today, he went to Zhu's house in Cheng Enbo's mansion with everyone to ask for an explanation.
Thinking carefully about Cheng Enbo's attitude, it seems that the Zhu family has no money.
The middle-aged man made a decisive decision, "Gathered people and went to Zhu's shop overnight to move the goods. All our goods, regardless of whether they have been paid or not, will be removed, and nothing will be kept."
"Little one understands."
This night, many merchants stayed up all night, they were all doing one thing, they were organizing people to move goods.
One shop under the name of the Zhu family counted as one, and one after another was emptied.
Shops that used to be filled with goods in warehouses became empty in a blink of an eye.
The buddy of the Zhu family wanted to stop him, but he was powerless.
By daybreak, the shops under the name of the Zhu family had been emptied out in sevens and eighties.
Xu Xianzhi woke up early in the morning, and the people below reported that those people moved like ants last night, one after another.
Fortunately, the capital has recently been peaceful and there is no martial law. Otherwise, these merchants would never want to come out for activities in the middle of the night.
Xu Xianzhi spat out the mouthwash from his mouth, "As long as there is no violence or looting, don't worry about them."
"The shops under the name of the Zhu family are almost being evacuated."
Xu Xianzhi chuckled, "It's none of our business to evacuate the empties. Remember, our Embroidery Guards are only responsible for the security of the capital, and we are not their Zhu family's thugs. We have no obligation to guard the goods for their Zhu family."
"Humble job understands."
"Let's go! Let the younger ones cheer up, Zhu's bank is going to run out today."
When it was daylight, the market became lively, and people found that Zhu's shops that opened early in the past, seemed to be negotiated today, and all the doors were closed.
Someone yelled, "All the goods in Zhu's shop have been emptied!"
boom!
This roar was like a signal of gunpowder explosion.
Those who still had a little confidence in the Zhu family all rushed to the gate of the Zhu family's bank, beating on the gate, clamoring to cash in.
General Tie of the Zhu family's bank guarded the door and remained motionless.
The sun is shining on the buttocks, and the bank has not yet opened.
Obviously, Zhu's Bank decided to pretend to be dead to survive today, and would not open the door no matter what.
"The Zhu family is too deceitful. Let's go to the Earl's Mansion to ask for an explanation."
"Yes, go to the earl's mansion to ask for an explanation. Even if you are a noble, you can't bully good people and cut off our way of life."
"We not only have to go to the Earl's Mansion to ask for an explanation, but also to report to the officials. The Zhu family cheated the common people out of money and forced their families to ruin, so why not ask the court to take care of it?"
"Report to the officer, report to the officer."
Compared with those in other places, the people in the capital have the biggest characteristic that they are knowledgeable and they are not so afraid of officials.
Master of the third rank
Pooh!
It's a fart on the border of the capital.
Lao Tzu, a member of the royal family, has also seen a lot.
An earl's mansion, which drives people to death, is still fucked.
All the way to the earl's mansion, all the way to the government.
There are more and more people in these two teams.
Some are related to vital interests, counting on the Zhu family to exchange the stub bank notes in everyone's hands under pressure.
Some are purely watching the excitement.
There are also a small number of people who belong to the rhythm of fishing in troubled waters, and want to make things worse.
It is best to alert the emperor and let the emperor take action to clean up the Zhu family.
The Zhu family has been the richest man in the capital for so many years, and they have offended many people.
Now that the Zhu family is in bad luck, I don't know how many people are waiting for the opportunity to make trouble and bite off a piece of meat from the Zhu family.
The Zhu family's partners and relatives and friends of the Zhu family are always paying attention to the movement outside.
Knowing that the people in the capital have organized a group to report to the officials and attack the Earl's Mansion, everyone has one thought: Zhu's family is finished!
What are you still doing in a daze, and continue to evacuate Zhu's shop and all its businesses.
Whether it's your own goods or not, move them away first.
For a while, the Zhu family was almost deserted.
Hundreds of ordinary people stormed the earl's mansion.
They are not the same as the refugees last time.
The refugees who attacked the Earl's Mansion last time were organized, disciplined, and strategic. Basically, it was just intimidation and did not cause substantial harm to the Zhu family.
But this time is different.
These small people are disorganized and undisciplined, and they only want to grab profits.
They are irritable and impulsive.
The harm they caused was far greater than organized riots.
They work together to climb over the wall, climb the window and climb the window...
They used various means to attack the Earl's Palace.
They overturned the guards of the Earl's Mansion, and opened the gate to welcome everyone.
Countless people rushed into the Earl's Mansion, like locusts crossing the border.
Xu Xianzhi led people to arrive in person.
A look at the scene, I rely on!
This is serious.
"Disperse the crowd. Arrest all the rioters inside."
Hundreds of embroidered clothes guards dispatched to disperse the crowd with sticks, knives and guns, and closed the doors to arrest people.
Fortunately, the embroidered guards came in time, these mobs only caused the property loss of the Zhu family, injured a few guards, and did not harm the female family members in the inner courtyard.
Xu Xianzhi secretly wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, thankful that he arrived in time.
MMP, the Zhu family must be guilty of Tai Sui this year.
Being attacked twice in a row, how much public anger has been committed.
"My lord, everyone has been arrested, how to deal with it?"
Xu Xianzhi had a sullen face, "Throw them all into the prison, no punishment is required. Let's wait for what the palace says."
"Humble job understands. Take them all away."
Hundreds of people were tied into a string with ropes and taken to the Xiuyiwei Prison for guarding.
Xu Xianzhi straightened his collar, and walked towards Cheng En Bo Zhuci who was standing under the eaves.
"Uncle, you are shocked."
Cheng Enbo Zhu Ci's face was flushed, it was obviously abnormal.
"Uncle, you have to take care of your health." Xu Xianzhi said with concern.
Cheng Enbo Zhu Ci coughed lightly, "I still can't die."
Xu Xianzhi smiled, "Uncle really knows how to joke. Today's matter is of great importance, and the officials will report the truth to the palace. His Majesty will probably summon Uncle. Uncle should make preparations early."
"Why were your Embroidery Guards not there when those people stormed the Earl's Mansion? Why did your Embroidery Guards just come when those people rushed into the Earl's Mansion? Master Xu, you really know how to seize the moment."
Xu Xianzhi put on a straight face, "Is the uncle suspecting that the subordinates deliberately indulged the ordinary people to attack the Earl's Mansion?"
Cheng Enbo Zhu Ci snorted coldly, "Isn't it, you know it best in your heart."
Xu Xianzhi chuckled, "Uncle doubts the dismissal, and I have nothing to say. On the contrary, Uncle, your Zhu family bank didn't even have a notice, and suddenly closed down, causing panic among the people in the capital. Uncle, think about this crime quickly. How to bear it."
"you… "
"What are you? Close the team and leave."
Xu Xianzhi had a sullen face, extremely impatient, and led the people away directly.
Leave a mess to the Zhu family.
The sons of Cheng Enbo came out, also standing under the eaves.
Everyone was afraid for a while.
"Father, you can't go on like this."
"Hurry up and sell the seafood from Jiangnan."
"The bank must find a way to calm down as soon as possible."
"Uncle, something is wrong. All the goods in the store have been emptied by those partners."
"What? Why didn't you report such a big thing until now?" Cheng Enbo Zhu Ci turned pale with shock.
Without the goods, how can the Zhu family's shops have experience, how can they make money, and how can they make money flow.
The steward was wronged, "I reported it once last night, and at that time the elder said he would solve the matter."
Cheng Enbo Zhu Ci suddenly turned his head, looking at his elder son fiercely.
Master Zhu was very calm, "It was already late last night when the steward reported the matter, and my father was in a state of health, so no one disturbed me. Too much time has happened today, so my son didn't come to report the matter in a hurry."
"The shop was evacuated. How could you hide such a big thing."
"So what if we don't hide it? Is there a way for my father to stop those merchants? They emptied the goods, and our Zhu family has a legitimate reason not to return the principal of the sea trade."
"You, is this your idea?"
Master Zhu said confidently: "It is good to reduce some of the losses. The goods in the shop are gone, but the shop is still there, and the foundation of the Zhu family is still there. When we get through this difficult time, one day our Zhu family will be able to regroup. .”
"You are simply ridiculous. Why don't you discuss such a big matter with the old man?"
Master Zhu said: "Father, do you know how much money those partners have raised in total? Nearly two million taels. So much money, I can't afford it. Give up some goods, so that they have no reason to come to ask for debts, and our Zhu family can do the same." Take the opportunity to catch your breath."
Cheng Enbo Zhu Ci gritted his teeth, "Don't say any more."
"Father, this is the end of the matter, why don't you think about how to use ordinary people to attack the Earl's Mansion and seek some benefits for the Earl's Mansion."
"Do you think benefits are so easy to obtain? You are simply naive."
"Is it naive, you will know after trying."
The Zhu family's father and son had different ideas, so they turned their faces directly.
…
On the other side, Xiaomin, who complained, went directly to Dali Temple.
Ask Dali Temple to give everyone justice.
Dali Temple received the pleadings, excited!
They like to plead for the people's life in big cases, and they can gain merit and fame.
Dali Temple took over this case.
And promise to give everyone an explanation.
Xiuyiwei and Dali Temple, both yamen are working hard. This matter was soon placed on the emperor's desk.
Because Jiang Shuyi gave birth to a ghost fetus, the emperor's mood was extremely depressed during this period, and he might explode at any time.
Seeing such a big disturbance in Cheng En Bo's mansion, the emperor's backlog of anger could no longer be suppressed.
"Are you courting death?"
This was the first sentence the emperor said, and all the servants in the hall were frightened into silence.
"After all, I'm old!"
This is the second sentence the emperor said.
Chen Dachang's heart twitched slightly, is the Son of Heaven ready to attack Cheng Enbo
But Cheng Enbo is old after all, maybe the emperor would not want Cheng Enbo's life because of blood relationship.
The emperor put the copy aside, "I will pass on my order to strictly investigate the Zhu family's bank. I want to know how many banknotes the Zhu family has put outside? How many small families are involved?"
Chen Dachang bowed to accept the order, "This old slave complies."
He walked out of the hall, it had been cloudy for many days, but today it finally cleared up.
A small yellow door came in front of him, "Report to Eunuch, Concubine Li De sent someone to contact Shen Changshi."
Chen Dachang laughed, "Concubine Li De can't wait to regain her favor?"
"Eunuch, do you want to stop it?"
"Don't stop me. Without Jiang Shuyi, His Majesty must have someone who knows and is interested."
"But… "
Chen Dachang glanced at Xiao Huangmen's cheek, Xiao Huangmen's heart skipped a beat, he was terrified, just said "but", and swallowed the rest of the words.
"The little one understands, and the little one listens to the father-in-law."
Chen Dachang snorted coldly.
Because of Jiang Shuyi, His Majesty thought of Concubine Li De again. Stopping Concubine Li De from accepting favor at this time is tantamount to going against the emperor.
Is he stupid
Unless there is a second Jiang Shuyi who can satisfy His Majesty.
However, there are so many beauties in the palace, and none of them can really replace Jiang Shuyi.
Pity!
Jiang Shuyi originally had the strength to compete with Concubine Li De, but she didn't live up to her expectations. What happened was not good, but a ghost was born, which made His Majesty extremely disgusted.
…
Bai Zhong hurried back to the palace.
"Mrs. Qi, the Zhu family is secretly selling their properties."
Gu Jiu let out a sigh of relief. After planning for so long, the Zhu family finally came to the step of selling off the property.
"Is it an industry in the capital?"
"It's a foreign industry."
Gu Jiu smiled, "It seems that the Zhu family still wants to preserve their strength. Add more firewood to force the Zhu family to sell their properties in the capital."
Bai Zhong took the order.
After thinking for a while, he said, "Ma'am, the Zhu Family Bank probably has no money."
"If you don't have money, you don't have money, don't worry about Zhu's bank."
"Ma'am, what do you mean, don't buy Zhu's bank?"
Gu Jiu nodded, "Yes, we don't need to buy the Zhu Family Bank. The Zhu Family Bank without money is just an empty shell, and it is useless to buy it. Others such as grain shops, mines, and farms are all bought. There are many shops in the Zhu Family , are located in the golden location where every inch of land is expensive, and buying a shop alone is also a good deal."
"The little one understands, and the little one will deal with it now."
Bai Zhong leaves.
Gu Jiu called Xu Yousi again, "Take my greeting card and send it to the Minister of the Household Department. Ask him if the old grain in Jingcang is sold?"
The Zhu family was unable to protect themselves, unable to digest the old grain in the Jingcang.
If the old grain does not go out of the warehouse, the new grain cannot enter the warehouse.
If the new grain could not enter the Beijing warehouse, the household department had to be criticized and attacked jointly by several other ministries, halls and yamen.
But in the entire capital, there is no other grain merchant except the Zhu family who can eat hundreds of thousands of taels worth of grain at one go.
It is estimated that the household department is also having a headache for the old grain that is full of warehouses.
Give food to the Ministry of War
If the Ministry of War doesn't pay, why give it to the Ministry of War for nothing.
Is it true that the household department's food is dropped from the sky
The Ministry of War has so much budget for a year, and food has already been included in the budget. If you want surplus food, you can buy it with money.
Unless there is a war, the Ministry of Households will never give food to the Ministry of War for free.
Moreover, the income from selling the remaining old grain every year is also a fixed input of the Ministry of Households.
Whether the officials of the household department can receive their salaries on time, and whether they can live a life with oil and water in winter, all depend on the sale of old grain.
This part of the benefits, the household department, no matter what, it is impossible to give it away for nothing.
Just like the armory of the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Officials has the right to appoint officials from all over the world, the Ministry of Punishment has the right to punish life and death, the Ministry of Rites has the right to take the imperial examination, and the Ministry of Industry has the right to build and build. .
It doesn't work when the Son of Heaven comes.
Even if the emperor who is sitting on the throne now is an emperor with arbitrariness and power, which is rare in all dynasties, he can't let the six yamen give up their private land.
This is the power structure, as strong as the emperor, and he can only recognize it by pinching his nose.
The emperor will never easily touch the private land of each yamen, at most the people in the yamen.
Xu Yousi came to the household department with Gu Jiu's greeting card, and relying on Gu Yu, he successfully delivered the greeting card to the household secretary.
Hubu Shangshu looked at the content on the greeting card and felt his teeth ache.
"Is Mrs. Zhao planning to blackmail you?"
"My lord is just joking. My wife is dedicated to the public, and she took the initiative to solve the big problem for the household department. But if the old grain in Jingcang has been solved, it will be treated as if I haven't been here today."
Hubu Shangshu snorted, "When will your wife be born?"
"Come on, just a few days."
"I'll talk to her after she has given birth and finished confinement."
"Can you make it?"
"It's a big deal to slow down the people collecting grain below."
