Academies related to stereotyped writing began to be inspected. xinwanben
In fact, even if the imperial court did not search, the Confucian scholars would all have escaped.
Who dares to stay.
Overnight, more than a dozen fires broke out, killing many people.
Many ministers in the court heard about Fang Jifan's assassination for the first time, and they were secretly happy, but soon, they wanted to cry without tears.
In fact, these are the people who hold the most stocks and mansions, but suddenly, they find that what they hold in their hands has become waste paper.
So they wanted to sell it like crazy, but obviously, it was too late.
Because at this time, no one cares about stocks and mansions anymore, no matter how cheap the price is, no one will pay attention to it.
Immediately afterwards, all the projects in the new city came to a halt.
Those who previously had tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of taels of silver worth had nothing in the blink of an eye.
The most frightening thing is that although their mansion is worthless, they are still burdened with heavy loans.
These loans must not be less than a penny.
In the Town God's Temple outside the new city, corpses wearing Confucian fir scarves are often found in Shuntian Prefecture.
Many people rumored that this was done by the students of Xishan Academy.
In a Zhuangzi outside Beijing, some people objected to the imperial court's deprivation of their fame, and they would never allow tax collectors to come to the door. They came to calculate this year's grain tax with them. A group of students from Xishan appeared and razed the Zhuangzi to the ground.
Even Tuntian Wei, who has always been kind to others, has begun to be agitated locally.
The government is often unable to ask the gentry to pay taxes, because the land needs to be re-measured, but this... is exactly what the Tuntian Guards are best at. They have already counted the land everywhere and sent it directly to the local government. Even though the parents and officials in this place wanted to cover up, they had no choice but to order the land tax to be cleared. Behind the tax collectors was the Tuntian Guard, and behind the Tuntian Guard was the Xishan Academy. They were good at riding and shooting, and they were especially cruel. Not only that, they Behind him is the support of the Zhen Guo Mansion, that is, His Royal Highness, and behind His Royal Highness... is the emperor. www.xinwanben.com
His Majesty has issued several decrees in succession, forbidding scholars to talk about things, and demanding that the gentry pay their bills together...
Among them, the one who suffered the most has become a hundred officials in the court.
Not only do they have a mansion, but they also have a lot of land in their hometown.
Their relatives in the local area, relying on their relationship, have already mastered an unknown amount of land. This is a large piece of land. Once the grain tax is paid, it will be lost.
Some people began to write letters, but soon, Jingcha came to the door.
Here in the Ministry of Officials, Ouyang Zhi issued official documents one by one to dismiss officials.
It even reached the point where more than a dozen people were dismissed in one day.
Ouyang Zhi hadn't slept well for several days, and after finally dozing off for a while, he dreamed of his mentor and burst into tears. Although he was slow, he realized later, but his emotions were actually the most abundant. All the officials, at this moment , no one dared to contradict Ouyang Shangshu.
The first seven days are coming in a blink of an eye.
There are no longer people wearing Lun scarves on the street, and all businesses are in depression. Xishan Qianzhuang has generated a lot of bad debts. In order to collect money, a large number of people have been recruited to confiscate a large number of mansions and properties.
Wang Jinyuan endured the grief. He seemed to have lost his soul. He felt like the sky was falling, like a walking corpse. In a trance, he didn't know what he was doing, but...in this most urgent time, he knew...Xishan The bank has a share of Fang's family, the young master and the two young masters, so they can't ruin their family fortune at this time.
So... the bill must be collected.
So he cheered up, and he compared the accounts one by one to find out who didn't pay the money and how much property was mortgaged, and then ordered someone to come to the door with the bills.
But now, people who refuse to repay their loans are like crucian carp crossing the river.
Zhou Tao, a member of the Ministry of Industry, is one of them.
At the beginning, he was one of the most happy to see Fang Jifan assassinated. Xinwanben website www.xinwanben.com
He also has a son, who is pinning his hopes on the imperial examination. He claims to be a disciple of a sage, and has a deep-seated hatred for Xinxue.
But when the mansion and the stock price plummeted, and this momentum was unstoppable, even causing the local land price to fall crazily, at this moment...he was shocked like many people, and then thought of his own The mansion is getting cheaper and cheaper, so he refuses to repay the debt for his own mansion.
The mansion he lives in has a total of seven acres, and it cost nearly one hundred thousand taels of silver at the beginning. Of course...he couldn't afford one hundred thousand taels of silver, only a down payment of ten thousand taels of silver, and now he has paid back more than ten thousand taels of silver. , still owes a mortgage of 80,000 taels.
But now, the price of the mansion plummeted without warning, and now there are people who are paying 30,000 taels of silver for such a mansion, but no one cares about it.
After all, Wailang, a member of the Ministry of Industry, knows how to settle accounts. When the people from Xishan Bank came to collect the money, he greeted him with a sullen face.
Zhou Tao sneered at the account reminder in his heart, and put on an official gesture: "Why do you come to the door?"
The person who reminded the account said, "According to the bank's request, the master has not paid last month's mortgage for three days."
"Heh..." Zhou Tao sneered on his face. Why is he not desperate at this moment?
The hateful Fang Jifan, his wealth has shrunk by more than half.
He said with resentment: "Now that this mansion is worthless, who does it belong to?"
"This... villain can't care about it." The person who came to collect the debt was obviously experienced in many battles, and said calmly: "The original contract for the loan was clear and clear, and it will be repaid on time every month. , Xishan Bank has the right to take back the mortgaged mansion and land."
"Take it, take it, take it all, leave it to me! I won't give you a copper now."
Zhou Tao was so angry that he vomited blood.
The person who reminded him said: "Since Mr. Zhou will not repay the loan, according to the original borrowing, Mr. Zhou mortgaged his current mansion and more than 900 mu of land in his hometown in Shanxi..."
When borrowing money from the bank back then, collateral was required. The higher the loan amount, the more collateral. What this person meant was that if the loan was not repaid, the house and land of the Zhou family would all be confiscated.
The more than 900 mu of land is not a small amount, and it is worth more than 20,000 taels of silver, but now... the sharp drop in the mansion and the turmoil in the market have also affected Shanxi.
When the crisis comes, people are more willing to guard their real money. No one dares to buy land, mansions, or stocks anymore. Because of this... the land in Shanxi is now worthless.
That is Zhou Tao's ancestral land.
But now... black and white, what can Zhou Tao do?
What's more, the Xishan Academy behind the Xishan Bank is sharpening its knives. I heard that just because a minister said a few words in private that Duke Qi died well, someone rushed into his house that night, dragged the minister out, and beat him to death. up.
But Shun Tianfu is actually partial.
Zhou Tao had a gloomy face, thinking about the current situation, this loan must never be repaid.
He collected himself, as if he had made up his mind, gritted his teeth and said, "Take it all, ha...haha..." He wanted to say that the thief would still harm people even if he died, but these words, after all, Driven by reason, he swallowed it back into his stomach.
"Since that's the case, why bother, there will be a later date." The account collector didn't say anything, because he was still in a hurry to go to the next one.
Countless mortgages have been converted into countless house deeds, land deeds, and field deeds. Every day, dozens of boxes are filled, and they are put into Xishan Bank for storage. More and more people choose not to repay the loan directly, so that Xishan Qianzhuang is in a huge predicament.
Wang Jinyuan is still trying his best to maintain the credit of the Daming Banknotes, and he must not lose it no matter what. Although the banks in various places have begun to cause runs, Wang Jinyuan still gritted his teeth and transferred gold and silver, constantly maintaining the situation.
Wang Jinyuan knew better than anyone else that once people were unable to exchange gold and silver in the bank with precious banknotes, the consequences would be even more dire.
Fortunately, in recent years, the bank has absorbed a large amount of gold and silver, especially the gold and silver brought by the Golden Continent and European tulips, as a deposit, so it can barely support it.
What's more, a large number of Daming banknotes have all flowed overseas, and the overseas run has not yet begun, so you can breathe a sigh of relief for the time being.
But even so, Wang Jinyuan still felt that it was not easy. The news from the outside world was too complicated and chaotic.
"Young master, young master, why did you go there? Aren't you always the smartest?" Wang Jinyuan couldn't help muttering to himself, without the young master, he felt as if he had lost his backbone.
If the young master is here, as long as he slaps others twice, there will be nothing that cannot be resolved.
But now...it's difficult...it's really too difficult.
And those bad debts, how can we deal with them?
The bank has taken back so many house deeds, as well as the piles of title deeds and field deeds. Now...these things are worthless. If this continues, their value will continue to last. The real money that the bank loaned out was exchanged for these worthless things. This bank... I am afraid that there will be no other way to maintain it in the end. I am afraid that I will feel sorry for the deceased young master. The young master is in the spirit of heaven, so he wouldn't slap himself in the dream.
…………
At this time, the entire Fang family was completely plain.
Zhu Xiurong didn't know anything about it, she was just a weak woman, and when she heard the bad news, she fainted.
It's just...Fang Jinglong, king of Xinjin County, immediately collapsed after hearing the news.
At this time, Zhu Xiurong just remembered her responsibility as a daughter-in-law. She stood up and started to decorate the mourning hall with the help of Fang Jifan's disciples...
It's a pity... my deceased husband was about to die, and even the intact body was not left behind. This made Zhu Xiurong even more grief-stricken. His pretty face seemed to be covered with a layer of white veil, bloodless and terrifyingly pale .

The second chapter is delivered, and there is.
