The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 2013 grievance
"Okay, tell me, what happened to you at the local bank?" Xuan Shijing asked.

It's no wonder that merchants from all over the world came here, because the merchants had the closest and most frequent contact with the bank, and the merchants used the bank the most, because they dredged the north-south freight and did business in the territory of the Tang Dynasty. When the business gets bigger, it can involve all the state capitals of Datang. In the case of long distances between the state capitals, it is the most convenient to exchange cash into the bank notes of the bank, and most businessmen, among the bank, All have deposits.

If something happens to the bank, they will definitely be involved.

Because the money in the bank is also theirs.

If someone reaches out to the bank, the biggest loser must be the treasury, and the second is big businessmen like them.

"Xuan Gong, in fact, the problems we encountered are roughly the same. Most of the problems are caused by the collusion between the local government and the local nobles and tycoons to embezzle the money of the bank, which caused us to take the bank note to the bank to exchange the silver. We have been delaying and procrastinating about the transfer of money. Grandpa, we are all in business, and money is the capital of our business. Without money, without capital, how do we do business? If the money cannot be raised in time, The business we have accumulated over the years will be destroyed once. This kind of thing has not happened once or twice. We really have no other choice. We all came to Suzhou City when we heard the news that the father-in-law is in Suzhou City. After we arrived in Suzhou City, under the arrangement of Mr. Zheng, we met each other. After we inquired about it, it turned out that we all came to Suzhou for the same thing. His wealth is about to be ruined, and now our business is already at an impossibility."

"Yes, my lord, there are dozens of people in our family. If the business stops, how will we support the family? Most of our wealth has been accumulated in the bank. When the imperial court set up the bank, we All the money was put in the bank out of trust in the imperial court, and no one thought that such a thing would happen to the bank." Fang shopkeeper said.

Xuan Shijing frowned and listened to them tell the story of what happened to them. It wasn't just that their money was embezzled by some officials from the local government and powerful nobles. What's more, they even threatened the families of these people in front of them. , the purpose is to keep them from speaking out after they have suffered a disadvantage, and not to tell them about the matter.

Now that they came to Suzhou City, they were indeed forced to do nothing.

If they waited any longer, their families would be destroyed. In the local area, they didn't dare to offend those local people, so they could only make a desperate gamble and come to Suzhou City to find Xuan Shijing.

At least Qi Guogong Xuan Shijing really rectified the bank in Luoyang City and Dengzhou City, and killed many people.

Now, Xuan Shijing is their hope.

"The Qianzhuang was promoted by the imperial court in the whole Tang Dynasty. Everyone trusted the Qianzhuang and also trusted the imperial court, but now the Qianzhuang collapsed because of corrupt officials in various places. This is also an inspection by the imperial court. Now, the imperial court has asked me to come to the local area. Check the bank, the issue of the bank, the guild will solve it as soon as possible, as for your matter, now I am in Suzhou, and you all come from different places, although the issue of the bank needs to be resolved, it needs to be dealt with , but I am also weak at the moment, so I will give you an idea." Xuan Shijing said.

"Please speak, Mr. Xuan."

"You write all the things you have encountered into a complaint, sign it and put it on paper, and submit it to my mansion. I will keep it for you first. As for you, don't leave Suzhou for the time being. I have other arrangements. "Xuan Shijing said: "As for the money and family property embezzled by local officials through the bank, I will definitely return it to you after a detailed investigation."

"Thank you, Duke Qi."

All the shopkeepers clapped their hands in response.

They didn't expect that Xuan Shijing would be able to set off to the state capital where they were to clean up the moths in the bank immediately. It is already very good to have the current result, and they are also satisfied. At least they have a The attitude said that this matter will be dealt with, which gave them hope in their hearts.

The matter is clear and clear, then this banquet has simply become a banquet. A group of businessmen came forward to offer Xuan Shijing a drink. , Therefore, everything during the banquet is also to the point.

After the banquet was over, the businessmen left the restaurant, but Xuan Shijing and Zheng An were the last to leave. After everyone left, there were only three people left in the room, Xuan Shijing, Gao Jun, and Zheng An.

"Grandpa, today's banquet, the officials wanted to come, it was still a bit abrupt, but those businessmen came to find the officials, one after another, it is not good to push all the officials to the Lord's side, there are so many of them, even Grandpa only sees one person a day, and it will take a long time, so I have arranged the banquet for today, and please forgive me for the abruptness."

"Zheng An, you arranged it well." Xuan Shijing said.

After participating in this banquet, Xuan Shijing also had a new idea in his heart, this banquet is an opportunity.

Prior to this, Xuan Shijing didn't know that there were still such businessmen in various state capitals of the Tang Dynasty, businessmen who were about to be ruined by the money.

With them, the management of the bank can be regarded as a big step forward.

"Grandpa, in fact, it's not just the businessmen you saw today who came to Suzhou to find you." Zheng An said.

"Why, there are others?" Xuan Shijing asked.

Zheng An nodded: "The lower officials have counted, there are about thirty people in total. The few people who came here today are just representatives among them. Taking Yangzhou as an example, they are just businessmen from Yangzhou. Five, Yangzhou is a rich place, and there are many business people in Yangzhou City, and they are all involved in the Yangzhou bank case, and they are the victims.",

"So that's the case." Xuan Shijing nodded slightly and said, "Your Majesty is determined to rectify the money houses all over the Tang Dynasty. It is indeed the right choice. Now it is harming the merchants, because the merchants Li Gao, they will dare to stretch out their hands when they go down. When it comes to ordinary people, the aristocratic families are still yelling grievances in the court, and they have the face to cry grievances for doing such a thing."

Whether it is the Zheng family or the Wang family, although they have been reorganized into what they are now, they still do not realize their fault in their hearts, and they still feel that the court is too strict and the emperor has treated them poorly.
