The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 2125 Posture

"It's a bit difficult." Xuan Shijing groped his chin and said, "I don't have any good ideas for now."

Xuan Shijing thought about it in his mind, this question is indeed a difficult problem.

Trust is such a thing, once lost, how difficult it is to regain it.

This is not something that can be solved by just taking the stage and then bowing and apologizing in front of everyone.

???

Bow down and apologize?

A flash of inspiration flashed in Xuan Shijing's mind.

This trick, no one has used it this time, right?

Although it seems too superficial, it’s enough to be useful. This is not a businessman apologizing to the people, but an official apologizing to the people. Even, this official is an imperial envoy, representing the court and the emperor.

As long as Fang Yiai is willing to make a fool of himself, maybe it will really work. As for the effect, you have to try it to know.

Li Jue sat on the side, quietly listening to his uncle and teacher talking to Fang Yiai. He was also thinking of a way to solve the same problem. Now Li Jue does not interfere with the political affairs of the court, but In two years, he will also go to the Hanyuan Hall to listen to the government. There is no harm in getting in touch with him earlier and getting to know him better.

Xuan Shijing saw Li Jue from the corner of his eyes, and saw his expression was also deep in thought, so he spoke.

"If Jue'er has any ideas, you might as well say so."

"This..." Li Jue murmured, "Then the student is making a fool of himself."

Fang Yiai and Xuan Shijing nodded to Li Jue.

"The common people don't trust the bank, because the honorable officials in the court are in the bank, wantonly making money, the court's supervision is not effective, and they have power and connections in the local area, and the system of the bank is not good. There are a lot of loopholes, which is why we have today's situation. The students have heard a saying that it is necessary to be hardworking by oneself. Those who committed the crimes have almost been wiped out and dealt with. They want the bank to recover. Even To go further, should we first solve the most basic problems from the bank? If the bank cannot come up with a reasonable charter to convince the people, no matter what they do, it will be futile. Over time, the original problem will still arise. If it is revealed, when the time comes, will we kill another group of people? Repeatedly like this, the bank will only go downhill more and more." Li Jue said.

This is something he thought of when he was in the palace.

A while ago, the case of the bank was full of turmoil. The servants in the face palace, the maids, and the imperial army were all discussing it. Li Jue listened to it and discussed it with his teacher on weekdays. That's why he thought of it. over these.

If the bank does not fundamentally reform, even if the imperial envoys work hard to restore the trust of the people, after a long time, accidents will still happen, and the people will trust you once or twice, and they will still believe you. Are you the third time?
"What Jue'er said is right on point." Xuan Shijing said.

Fang Yiai nodded: "The people in our household department have also considered this matter, so we re-enacted the rules of the bank. I also plan to take it with me when I leave Chang'an this time and go to the local area. Your Majesty also said , This matter cannot be resolved overnight, so I plan to try it in some places now, and if the result is really good, then spread it out. Regarding this, I have also submitted it to His Majesty for review, and His Majesty also agreed."

"The rest is how to make the people trust the bank." Xuan Shijing said: "Since the bank is going to make a change, the change should also be seen by the people, otherwise, how can we easily believe it?" ? In addition, I thought of a way, I don't know if it will work, but this way, you have to make the officials of your household department feel ashamed to do it."

Although the affairs of the bank were not dealt with by the household department, in the end it was the people from the household department who cleaned up the mess.

Who let the Ministry of Households be in charge of the world's money and food?The money in the bank is also money, and it is also related to the national treasury.

From the establishment of the bank to the present, the national treasury has been losing money, that is, so many companies have been copied before it can be made up.

Not only did I get it back, but I also made money.

The aristocratic families involved in the case took one tael of silver from the bank, so when the house was ransacked, the treasury could confiscate two taels of silver, or even three taels or four taels of silver from their homes.

The way for those people to get money is not just from the bank. Once the incident happened, the money earned by the bank was spit out, and by the way, even their own family property was confiscated and handed over to the imperial court. a sum.

If the treasury has money, the household department will be tough, and the waist will be straight.

"As long as this matter can be handled clearly and quickly, what's there to be ashamed of?" Fang Yiai said.

He took this pick and has been worrying about it all the time.

"Really?" Xuan Shijing asked.

"Of course I take it seriously." Fang Yiai said: "I'm so worried that my hair will turn gray because of this matter, but if there is a way, it will be a life-saving straw for me."

"I can say this method, and you can do it too, but it doesn't necessarily work." Xuan Shijing said: "For the common people, I think that as long as they go to deal with it, their attitude is more sincere, and their attitude is lowered. The people are hostile to you, so you can try to set up a high platform, bow down and apologize, and apologize for the mistakes made by the bank. As for how to word it, you have to decide for yourself. The most important thing is that you must lower your figure , let people feel your regret and your sincerity."

"Is this possible?" Fang Yiai asked, frowning.

"I can't tell." Xuan Shijing said: "But if you do it like this, the people will definitely have less resistance to the bank. The more you can win the sympathy of the people, the next thing will be easy to do, and everything starts. It’s hard, it depends on how you do it.”

Anyway, in a word, you must not put on airs, you must be friendly, you must make people feel your sincerity and regret, and your determination to re-establish a new bank.

Only by doing this can we win the trust of the people a little bit, and then consolidate this trust.

The follow-up matter also depends on the specific actions of the bank. Nothing can happen. The follow-up actions of the bank determine whether the bank can survive.

This is a time-consuming and labor-intensive project. Fang Yiai’s trip will not be completed. It will take at least three to five years before the bank will return to its previous heyday. Make a slight mistake, otherwise the common people will be like frightened birds.

In this case, it will be even more difficult for Qianzhuang to promote it in Datang.

Those aristocratic families who secretly embezzled money from the bank almost destroyed the entire bank of Datang.
