Chapter 2747
"Is he so courageous?" Wu Kaidi said in surprise, "Guanshi Qiao is from the Qiao family in Pingyao! Even though he is a collateral branch, the Qiao family will not give up."

"So the force behind the kidnapping is probably not Shanxi House. First of all, the Xia family does not deserve to be such a villain; secondly, Shopkeeper Shen does not have such courage."

"So, this is the force behind what you always say."

"That's right. It's probably because Shopkeeper Shen got some kind of promise or benefit from the other party." Leng Ningyun knocked on his head, "The things here are very complicated. Let the people from the Foreign Affairs Bureau worry about it. We should still consider opening the business. Bar."

The 10 taels of silver that Eunuch Yang originally saved has been prepared.As usual, for large withdrawals from large households, you only need to give a notification and the bank will send someone to deliver it to the mansion. There is no need for someone to come.Eunuch Yang specially sent Baoyu here.

"The money is all ready." Leng Ningyun said with a pleasant expression, "Finally, I can live up to Eunuch Yang's trust."

"That's right, that's right." Bao Yu was full of flattery, "I also told Eunuch Yang: Shopkeeper Leng is the most honest person and handles things properly. Originally, I didn't even mention the money. It's just that Eunuch Yang needs it urgently. It's a last resort, a last resort. "

"Did I load the money into a mule cart and transport it to my house immediately, or..."

"I'm not busy. Mr. Yang has taken the photo. He needs to take a look first and check it out. It's a process. Haha, haha." Bao Yu laughed a few times.

"Okay, this is what it should be."

Leng Ningyun immediately led him to the backyard, where a hundred silver sheaths had been placed.During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, boxes were not used to transport large amounts of silver. Instead, logs were sawed in half and hollowed out. 50 Two silver ingots are interlocked and embedded in it.Each tile contains ten ingots and 1000 taels of silver.After it is filled, it is closed and bound with iron hoops so that it will not fall apart no matter it is bumped or dropped.

The silver stiles were all open, and the yard was filled with bright silver light. As soon as Baoyu walked in, his legs suddenly became weak.

"Brother Bao, please take a look."

Baoyu had never seen so much money piled together, and he felt his heart swaying.He barely composed himself and walked to the courtyard to take a look.

Leng Ningyun looked at the matter with cold eyes. The original inspection was just a formality: the bank's large sums of money were never deceived. Otherwise, the bank's sign would not stand. Seeing how seriously Baoyu took it, it was obviously Eunuch Yang's special order.

Is the reputation of our bank suddenly so bad?Eunuch Yang will have to deal with it carefully in the future!
However, based on the clue that "father and son are not getting along", we can start looking for opportunities to bring down little Eunuch Yang.

After Baoyu finished inspecting it, Wei Xiangli immediately ordered people to close the silver lattice, put on the iron hoop, and seal it.Baoyu handed over the deposit receipt, Leng Ningyun asked the person to write it off, and stuffed another red envelope into his hand:

"Thank you for your hard work, Third Brother Bao!"

"There, there," Baoyu himself felt quite embarrassed, "It's not that I'm a meddlesome person. I just eat a bowl of others and be sent around. Don't take it personally, Mr. Leng."

"Brothers will settle accounts clearly. How can this be said?" Leng Ningyun said with great sincerity, "I will ask Brother Bao for more support in the future."

This is not a polite statement.For such a big matter, Eunuch Yang did not send his personal eunuch to handle it, but instead called Bao Yu, the footman, which showed that this person's status among Eunuch Yang was high.He will be of great use in the future.

"I don't dare, I don't dare. Mr. Leng has something to do, and I will try my best." After saying that, he left.Wei Xiangli directed the men to load the silver into trucks one by one, and He Liansheng escorted it to the place designated by Eunuch Yang for storage.

"Eunuch Yang and his son are really unreasonable. They took thousands of kickbacks for a hundred thousand silver, but in the end they only let it go for less than two months, and they still have to calculate the interest!" Wei Xiangli muttered, "It's better to grab it! "

Leng Ningyun smiled and said: "Isn't this Quan Eunuch just trying another way to steal money? Let's tolerate him for a while. It won't be long before he comes to save money again."

On the eighth day of the first lunar month in 1637, Delong Jingshi Bank finally unloaded its shares and opened for business amidst much attention.Leng Ningyun asked people to buy more [-]-word whips, and hundreds of them hung the [-]-word whips, dyeing the entire street red.

The deliberately created joy cannot conceal the nervousness of Delong's opening.Shuntian Prefecture, Wanping County, and Daxing County sent brigade of government officers to the scene early to suppress the attack. Official Liu Tui of Shuntian Prefecture came directly to the scene and placed the public case on the steps of the store across the street.

"Someone, put the notice up!"

The huge official notice was posted, which immediately attracted many people to watch.

After hearing the news early in the morning, there was a large crowd waiting in front of Delong Gate. The streets in front of Delong Gate were completely crowded with darkness. If the government officials hadn't kept shouting to clear the way, the entire street would have been blocked.

Inside the Delon Gate, although the blockers had already held a meeting and knew that the biggest threat had been eliminated, when they first saw the crowds outside, the slightly experienced blockers still took a breath of air. "Xiao Xiangli! Is this, this, sir, okay?"

"What the hell are you worried about! The master has taken care of all the old ladies, and there are just some retail investors out there, with a maximum of 50 taels of notes. What the hell are you afraid of!"

Even so, Xiao Xiangli himself was unsure.Indeed, he and Wei Xiangli collected nearly 10 taels of notes from each of the seven Shanxi houses on the list without any hindrance.In addition to the money raised by shopkeeper Leng, there is no big problem in dealing with the store.But the fact that Bai Huahua's 10 taels of silver was taken away yesterday still made him heartbroken.

It would be nice if the money could be delayed for a few more days.

My heart was in turmoil, but I still had to force myself to stay calm.Maybe Master Leng is watching me secretly!So he kept yelling loudly and finding faults everywhere, wishing that there was not a speck of dust on the counter.

Seeing that the preparations in the store were completed and the government officials outside were in place, he immediately shouted: "Get off the plate!"

Following his shout, the two apprentices opened the side door and began to remove the door panels.

The crowd outside suddenly became commotion and swarmed toward the store door, including many women and elderly people.The officials from Shuntian County and the two counties immediately threw away their long whips and kept waving them in the air, cracking the whips and forcing the crowd back.

As they advanced and retreated, someone was already being squeezed to the ground, making screams of being trampled.

Liu Tuiguan sat on the steps and quickly ordered his subordinates to direct the government officials to separate the crowds, leaving only one passage, one in and one out. He also separated the crowds who were coming one after another, and let them out one by one. Only then did the order be restored. Maintain it.

"Go down the order, but anyone who takes the lead in making noise or inciting will be taken down on the spot and the shackles will be displayed to the public!" he ordered.

After a powerful blow, the order at the entrance of the store was finally maintained.It's just that the depositors are vying for the first place, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, and one by one, almost to the point where their chests are touching their backs.Many of the women had no time to rush back to cash in because their husbands were working outside, and they didn't care about the differences between men and women. They were crowded in the queue at this moment, and some people took the opportunity to harass the crowd.Some people had their shoes stepped on, others had their hair tied up in buns, and some were so squeezed that they fainted.There were cries and curses in the team, mixed together with the roars of the government officials, the swishing sounds of whips, and the screams of pain.

Leng Ningyun looked out the window on the second floor of the bank and sighed secretly.He is no longer worried about the run at the moment, but the chaos outside is really worrying.

Ninety percent of those who came to line up for a cash run were ordinary citizens from the capital with some assets. They had a few taels of silver in their hands, which they used to collect interest on their deposits to supplement their family income.To wealthy people, this amount of money is nothing more than an ingot of ink, a jar of "Fresh Nanyang Fruits", a piece of jewelry... but to them, it is the hard-earned money accumulated over the years.

If the bank really goes bankrupt, many of the people who came to bank would have to hang themselves in the river!

He called Wei Xiangli and asked him to take a few apprentices outside to build a temporary shed, put on a stove and prepare hot sugar water, so that the old, weak, and fainted people could have a place to rest.

"Tell Xiao Xiangli to put up all the barriers and open all the windows. After these two days of busy work, we will treat everyone to a treat."

After arranging all this, there is actually nothing left to do.Leng Ningyun had not slept well for several days, but he was not sleepy at all. He just sat and watched on the second floor.

Fortunately, the crowd gradually decreased with all the efforts, and the crowd no longer increased at noon.The amount of silver and banknotes exchanged was also within the estimate.

Xiao Xiangli did not dare to slack off and did not stop the window. He only asked the kitchen to make more steamed buns, pies and the like, and put them on the counter for the waiters to satisfy their hunger.Eat and fuck at the same time.

The expected large-scale run did not occur. The largest ticket was only more than 500 taels, and the amount was only 5000 taels of small deposits and notes.It was not until noon that someone came to exchange a large amount of silver notes at once, which was only more than [-] taels.

As the money continued to be redeemed, the number of people queuing up became smaller and smaller. By the time the money was put on the board, the crowd that came to redeem it had already dispersed.Only then did everyone let go of their hanging hearts.Wei Xiangli came out to thank the government officials for their hard work and gave each of them a red envelope.

I checked the accounts in the evening and found that only over 9000 taels were exchanged throughout the day.Checking the deposit catalog again, it was found that except for the deposits of "affiliated enterprises" such as Shanhai [-]th Road, [-]% of the original fixed deposits had been paid.More than [-]% of the tickets sent out were returned.There is more than enough silver left.

No one in Delong, from Leng Ningyun to the apprentices, had any intention of eating.I just ate steamed buns and sesame cakes and drank strong tea.When the accounting was completed, everyone was relieved.The whole place was filled with joy.Leng Ningyun immediately asked the kitchen to prepare a sumptuous supper.

"Except for not drinking, everyone has a good time. Just don't go to bed too late and miss tomorrow's business."

"Don't worry, shopkeeper, nothing will happen to you!" Wei Xiangli said happily.Not to mention, my annual salary of 180 taels of silver and bonus at the end of the year are completely guaranteed.

Leng Ningyun returned to the inner house, hurriedly washed and went to bed, and snored as soon as he touched the pillow.
