Chapter 407, inside story

Although there are more than 2000 million taels of silver on the books of the treasury, in fact, over the years, more than half of the money has been used to enclose land and store goods one after another. 【】The money that is actually kept in circulation in various banks is only one or two million taels!

Up to now, the order in is still higher than the order out!But in case there is an inversion, it means that the cash in the treasury must be filled in!But where is the silver in the treasury?All the money was spent to generate interest.

Moreover, in the past two years, in order to store more land, more houses, and more goods, Yinzhuang successively issued five or six million taels of banknotes. of.Although these banknotes were falsely issued, they were all invested in the enclosure, and they also made a lot of money.But no one wants to take out the money in the pockets of the bosses to make up for these banknotes.

Once the incoming orders are lower than the outgoing orders, there will be fewer people depositing silver and more people exchanging silver, and there will definitely be problems in the operation of the bank.

Although as far as the current situation is concerned, even if the entry and exit orders are flat or temporarily reversed, it will not shake the foundation of Yinzhuang.But you still have to be careful, such a situation may occur, otherwise the reputation that has been in operation for more than ten years will be lost.

Xu Shijie was about to speak, but Xu Chen continued: "Let me tell you, in a few months, the news of the alliance between Yuanren and the imperial court will spread, and the status of the imperial court's foreign heart will rise sharply. Those wealthy owners no longer have to worry about the fact that people from Beijing will go south. It is not difficult to worry that Yinzhuang has a net surplus of 1000 million taels a year, so there is no need for everyone to worry about the entry and exit of these 10 taels. If you want to have a big picture, if you keep staring at the road under your feet, you will hit the wall."

Everyone was overjoyed when they heard the news!

This is indeed great news.Feng Ren has long been afraid of people from Beijing going south. Many merchants would rather hide large sums of money at home and bury them in the ground than exchange them into bank notes!

Now that the people of Beijing endanger the possibility of sealing the dynasty, the money will not have to be so tightly covered.As soon as the money comes out, it is the most natural thing to deposit it into the bank and exchange it for circulation.If this is the case, Yinzhuang's deposits will increase immediately, and there is really no need to worry about the 10 taels.

Although Xu Shijie was delighted, he was cautious, and would have doubts if it hadn't been for the facts that had already happened.Therefore, Xu Shijie said: "If this is the case, it will naturally be a very good thing for the long-term development of Yinzhuang! But Shijie is still a little worried, the order is so weird, it's fine to pay it once in a while, but if someone secretly It’s not good to deliberately make bad things.”

"Even if someone makes trouble, can a few 10 taels of silver shake the Yinzhuang?" Xu Chen said to the crowd, "Besides, who in the Feng Dynasty would dare to deal with our big families blatantly?"

Representatives of several other aristocratic families took Xu Chen's words seriously!They all felt that they were being too cautious. The situation is so good now that nothing will happen again.In fact, no one in the entire Feng Dynasty dared to make any bad ideas against Datong Yinzhuang!There is no impenetrable wall in the world, whoever tries to make a bad idea, whoever moves his finger in a few aristocratic families, will crush the other party to pieces.So all are relieved.

Xu Chen saw that everyone had nothing else to do, so he only kept Xu Shijie and sent everyone away.After everyone had left, Xu Chen said to Xu Shijie: "In the future, you can come in alone to discuss with me. There is no need to bring them in. Brother, I don't want to see everyone, but the parents of their families want to see me. It's not that we can see each other just because we have something to say. If you have anything to do, please let me know first. If you can't solve it, it's not too late to meet again. You have to understand that we are the big boss. If there are some things that are not absolutely necessary, we should not let them They asked questions one by one very well."

Xu Shijie nodded quickly, yes!Then he retreated from Xu Chen's study.

Every time Xu Chen came in, he had to give him a few words, and Xu Shijie had long been used to this.In fact, if I really don't bring these people in, my eldest brother will say later: Some things still need to be discussed together.Although we are the big boss, we still have to share the responsibilities that should be shared.

My elder brother said before: "Just report big things to the inside, and make up your own mind about small things. There is no need to tell him about some things!"But when he really didn't say it, he wanted to say: No matter how small the things in the store are, they are all big things!To guard against incipient things, even if a matter is decided, it must be discussed inwardly.

I can't figure out which ones are small things and which ones are big things!I don't know which things should be discussed with everyone, and which things should not be discussed.Anyway, if there is anything, I will report it as usual; if I am not dealing with it normally, I will discuss it with everyone.

While walking, he put aside Xu Chen's instruction, but saw Xu Wei walking into the yard from outside.

Xu Wei is the eldest brother's only son. The eldest brother has a son in his year, and he values ​​this son more than his life. Fortunately, Xu Wei is quite smart and has outstanding talent.This spring, Xu Wei's age has come, and it's time to show his skills.I believe it won't take long for Xu Wei to become the leader of the next generation of the Xu family.

However, now Xu Wei has a face full of alcohol, and he doesn't know where he drank so much wine.

He didn't call Xu Wei and said: "Where did you go to eat so much wine? Lunch is too early, and dinner is still some time away. The smell of alcohol in your body clearly shows that you have been drinking since noon! Let your father come , I feel better with you!"

Xu Wei saw that it was the third uncle who hurried forward to salute, but he didn't hold back, he just smiled and said: "Because it's raining, there's no place to walk around. A few colleagues made an appointment to comment on poetry, and they had a drink while discussing." , In fact, I didn’t eat much. It’s not that the third uncle doesn’t know about my nephew’s face, but after drinking a little wine, he will turn red. Please don’t tell your father, or you will have to train for another half an hour.”

Xu Shijie rolled up his sleeves and said with a smile, "I'm training you for your own good too! How is Chunwei's preparations going?"

Xu Shijie was actually just asking casually. According to his thinking, Xu Wei's answer must be full of confidence!But when Xu Wei heard Xu Shijie's question, he sighed emphatically.Now, Xu Shijie became a little curious, and asked, "What's the matter? What's the matter with sighing?"

"It's not for Chunwei's main exam!"

Only then did Xu Shijie remember that the chief examiner for Chunwei this year had been selected a long time ago, and it was Su San, the hottest official upstart.The Su family has found a lot of talents. Back then, when Su Yi first debuted, he was also a hit.It took only a decade or so to be promoted to be a servant.Now, even if Su San is dragged down by the treason case and loses his status, he is still a big official in the frontier!

This Su San is also terrible, and when he gets up, the momentum is even stronger.I heard that a few days ago, Su San was newly appointed as the head of the Nine Gates Inspection Department.Compared with Su San's eldest brother, this speed of becoming an official is like heaven and earth, and the promotion of this official is really too fast.

But, what does this have to do with Xu Wei?Who cares who is the examiner?Who is the main examiner and not all the examiners?As for sighing?

Xu Wei saw the puzzled expression on Xu Shijie's face, so he explained: "This Su San is just a student at best, but because of the emperor's favor, he took the exam. He didn't have any fame, so he suddenly took the exam. It's already a bad name. Besides, this Su San is younger than his nephew, and he is from a businessman's family background. Compared with him, he is definitely not as sophisticated as his nephew. As far as Su San's temperament is concerned, he will help those gangs Wuling students, that’s the way to call out ghosts. If this happens, it’s bound to be unfair, and everyone should be admitted, so why should Wuling people take advantage of it!”

Seeing Xu Wei's indignation, Xu Shijie couldn't help but think carefully before saying: "The candidates' birthplaces and names must be sealed! He is just an empty-handed examiner, how dare he openly follow his own interests and cheat the imperial examinations? "

Xu Wei said with a bitter face: "Even if he is an empty-handed examiner and has no influence at all, as long as Su San recognizes the characters of the Wuling Mansion's candidates and insists on ordering their papers, no one else can do anything about it. Besides, he can't do anything now." He's not just an empty-handed examiner, if he wants to take out the front of the paper, who can do anything to him? My nephew doesn't understand the things in the imperial examination, don't you, third uncle?"

Xu Shijie thought about it for a while, and felt that what Xu Wei said made some sense. This kind of thing is very likely to happen!Su Sanben is the student who took the exam this time, so he naturally knows a lot about the students from his hometown, so he doesn't use handwriting, he only needs to tell from the chapter that the student is from Wuling, and he will take care of everything he says.Even if Su San has no foundation at all, as the chief examiner, he still has the ability to force a few papers.

It's no wonder Xu Wei is so worried. There are more candidates in Wuling, and fewer candidates from other places will naturally be selected. This is an inevitable reason.

Seeing that the third uncle didn't speak, Xu Wei said again: "Furthermore, my nephew and this Su San have some issues. If Su San recognizes my nephew's handwriting, then my nephew's death will be in vain!"

"Ah!" Xu Shijie didn't expect such a layer of joints to exist, so he couldn't help but have some doubts.

Xu Wei recounted the plot of the poetry gambling meeting in detail!

Xu Shijie listened to it quietly, although he thought it was just a dispute between emotions, which was not worthy of elegance.But Su San is at the age of emotional conflicts, if Su San only wants to find Xu Wei's shortcomings, it will be really troublesome.

Xu Wei is the future of the Xu family, and the imperial examination is a major event, so he has to think about it for Xu Wei anyway.Besides, the elder brother didn't seem to deal with Su San much in the court, otherwise there would be no reason for 'Farewell My Concubine' to fall into the Feng family.

The eldest brother is also true, but he is just a new rich man, that is, a coaxing thing, why are you so stubborn, put on an old-timer face, and don't want to get close to Su San?Otherwise, these things are nothing!
