Compared with Zhou Yanru, Wen Tiren has more methods and has established the image of a lone official. Facing the impeachment of the ruling and the public, he has always upheld a state of'justice' without any excuse.
When the Chongzhen Emperor saw this, he naturally favored Wen Tiren. Many people were dragged down by Huang Shaojie, dismissed from office and demoted as many as 30 people.
In the seventh year of Chongzhen, the seventh day of March, Suzhou Mansion.
The first ticket number of Zhou's Chamber of Commerce, Zhou's ticket number, was established in Suzhou Prefecture.
After nearly two years of development, the ticket number has reached a considerable scale and is quite well-known in Suzhou Prefecture. The merchants traveling from north to south are not aware of it.
It is Shang Guanxun's brother, Shen Yunchang, who manages this important ticket number.
At this time, Shen Yunchang was checking the account books in his class room, and there were buddies walking up and down outside, and there was an endless stream of customers coming to the front counter to deposit and withdraw money.
Not long after, a cashier walked in and frowned: "The shopkeeper has recently redeemed a lot, but kept a little, something is wrong."
Shen Yunchang put down his pen and said, "Well, I have noticed that someone is trying to run maliciously. It is estimated that the time has not yet arrived. By the way, a letter from Beijing, let us be more cautious lately. Someone wants to deal with us."
The accountant was surprised and said, "Who is it? Who dares to start the business of the owner?"
Zhou Zheng was dismissed from office, and it had been spread throughout Daming, they naturally knew.
Shen Yunchang silently said for a while, "There are still thirty thousand taels in inventory, which should be enough. You and I know the address of the bank. You should go to the capital to play, and the silver ticket number will be issued. "
The accountant heard the smell, took two steps forward, and whispered: "The shopkeeper, is it really that dangerous?"
Shen Yunchang pinched between his eyebrows and said, "Just in case."
The accountant nodded and said, "I will pack my things and leave immediately."
Shen Yunchang said: "Be careful."
The accountant solemnly responded, and quickly turned and left.
Shen Yunchang stood up, turned around and pushed open the window. Behind it was a river. Many people jokingly called it "Little Qinhuai". It was the famous river of fireworks. Going up, it was the seat of the Suzhou Government Office.
Shen Yunchang looked at the direction of Suzhou Mansion, was silent for a moment, and then continued to write about him with a pen.
At midday, in a brothel on the other side of the river, three businessmen-like men accompanied a middle-aged man who was sitting upright and drinking.
A fat man with big ears and a fat face, his small eyes rolled around, looking at the middle-aged man, and said, "Master Kou, this Zhou's ticket number is really rich, their Ku Yin Shao said. There are also 300,000..."
Another man who looked like a businessman hurriedly continued: "This is nothing, they actually ignore Lord Kou, they don't understand the basic manners, and the money that should be paid is not paid!"
The third said: "Master Kou, Zhou's ticket number and Zhou's Chamber of Commerce are really rich, have you heard? Those salt merchants pay them millions of taels of protection fees every year, just for nothing. , Why are they? You are the prefect of Suzhou!"
Kou Qin looked indifferent, took a sip of wine, and said, "What do you want?"
The three people glanced at each other and hurriedly said: "Master Kou, let's not tell you, Zhou's Chamber of Commerce has a lot of industries under the ticket number. If you want money, please share the industry with us.
Kou Qin glanced at the three of them and said, "Okay."
The three were overjoyed and quickly toasted.
Kou Qin's plain response, the reason why he had to deal with Zhou's Chamber of Commerce and the ticket number was naturally not because of the filial piety of several businessmen.
As soon as Zhou Zhengyun had fallen, Zhou's Chamber of Commerce was still ignorant and didn't understand the rules at all.
Secondly, he also wanted to show his loyalty to some big figures in the capital. Apart from the silver, he wanted to act against Zhou Zhengyun.
Kou Qin drank the wine, and said inwardly: "To blame, I blame you Zhou Zhengyun for being too ugly, and not knowing how to score. '
Kou Qin decided in his heart that after drinking, he returned to the Yamen.
In the afternoon, before the ticket number was closed, a team of Suzhou government officials surrounded the ticket number.
Ya Ya kicked the door open, Kou Qin personally took the lead, and walked into the ticket number surrounded by the crowd with an arrogant expression on his face.
It is difficult to keep secrets in the merchant circle. Before Kou Qin came, many people came around the ticket number.
Yang Huyi and Yang Huzhi brothers sat in the teahouse, quietly looking at the gate of Zhou's ticket number.
Yang Huzhi still had that zombie face, watching Kou Qin enter, and said lightly: "Big Brother, do you think Zhou Zhengyun has the ability to fight back?"
Yang Huyi didn’t know why his legs were lame in recent years. He leaned on crutches and looked at the gate of the Zhou’s ticket number surrounded by yamen, and said: “We have never lost the money we should give, and we have never exceeded the rules, even if Zhou Zhengyun paid it back. There is a counterattack, and it has nothing to do with us."
"What if he doesn't?" Yang Huzhi asked closely.
Zhou Zheng squeezed them too hard. For several years, the Yang family couldn't breathe, and Zhou Zheng took away the big head. How could they be reconciled.
Yang Hu leaned on the crutches in both hands, his eyes were quiet and indifferent, but his tone was very calm and flat and said, "Don't worry, wait for half a year."
Yang Huzhi nodded indifferently. They were terrified by Zhou Zheng. They had repeatedly taken advantage of Zhou Zheng's failure to take advantage of Zhou Zheng's failure. As a result, Zhou Zheng made a strong counterattack.
It is not just the Yang family. Almost all of the heads and brains of more than a dozen salt merchants controlled by Zhou Zheng are present. Some are smiling cheerfully, some are gloomy, some are plain, some are smug, and some are sharpening their swords. .
They stared at the ticket number, as if staring at a piece of fat, their eyes flashing with greed.
In the ticket number, the shopkeeper Shen Yunchang watched Kou Qin lead the people in, without any panic, raised his hand, and said: "Cao Min has seen Lord Kou. I don't know why Lord Kou is surrounding my ticket number?"
Kou Qin did not speak, and the torture book beside him snorted coldly, and said sternly: "The Zhou's ticket number was set up without approval, tax evasion, and deception of depositors. In fact, it is a lawless deception of wealth. It must be sealed today!"
Kou Qin sat on the chair and blew the tea gently, as if he hadn't heard the words of Xing Shu.
Shen Yunchang looked calm and said, "Our ticket number is approved by the Ministry of Household. If Lord Kou doesn't know, I can show the approval letter to the adults."
Xing Shu sneered, and said, "This is Suzhou, treasurer Shen, I advise you to be more acquainted. Hand over the account books and open the door of the library. Don't make it too ugly."
Shen Yunchang looked at this torture book, glanced at Kou Qin, who was with the old god, and said lightly: "Master Kou, what are the conditions? Let's say it clearly. Our ticket number can do it now, and there is no one on it."
Kou Qin looked indifferent suddenly, put down his tea cup, stood up, and stared at Shen Yunchang and said, "This mansion does things according to the law, even if there are people on you? This mansion will copy your Zhou's ticket number now, and then join in. There is a copy of the person behind you. Tell this mansion, who is the person above you?"
Xing Shu sneered, and secretly said that Shen Yunchang was really ignorant, and at this time, he even dared to pull tiger skins.
The three businessmen outside who persuaded Kou Qin to take action were waiting in a teahouse not far away with a smile.
Zhou's Chamber of Commerce is such a big piece of fat, if they take a bite, their net worth will at least double!
There are still many people who are also ready to move, and are already discussing how to get a share of this gluttonous feast.
Shen Yunchang saw that Kou Qin had made up his mind to eat them, his expression was a bit ugly, and he said, "Master Kou, do you really think our boss has fallen like this? How was the castration party back then? Didn't our boss come over? You? Just flew and decided that our boss would not make a comeback?"
Anyone who understands knows who is behind the Zhou Chamber of Commerce.
Naturally, Kou Qin was very clear, and snorted a little impatiently, and said, "This mansion will say once again, this mansion is acting in accordance with the law, and even if it makes trouble to the court, this mansion will not be afraid! Hand over the account books and open the silver vault. Let this mansion come!" (End of this chapter)
