Chapter 1722, 100 Million Gold Coins Were Robbed
After Wu Hai made the deal with his cousin, he went there to report to Li Cong. Li Cong smiled. This price is okay, but the real money went to Li Cong. It is impossible to ask this guy to take out the wallet, but these things are necessary in the army now. Li Cong smiled and said a few words in Wu Hai's ear, and no one would I know what it is, but Wu Hai's eyes are already smiling and he can't find it. He keeps saying thank you, lord, thank you lord, etc. I really don't know what this guy means. I was in a hurry, and bumped into several people in a panic, which made the people in this room so troublesome, I couldn't wait to go up and ask what was going on, most people knew from Wu Hai that it must be Lu Xi Is it possible that Li Cong has the ability to eat so many horses directly? This Li Cong's financial resources are also a bit surprising. You know, the new army only paid a little money to build the empire, and the rest of the money was paid by Li Cong himself. But first of all, the part of the national treasury that exceeds the budget will not be reimbursed. Otherwise, the annual fiscal revenue of more than 30 billion gold coins may not be enough for Li Cong to spend so much? Good guy, three million troops eat more than tens of millions of troops. Those with a lot of salary will scare people to death. There are many people with an annual salary of 1,000 gold coins. The annual salary alone is worth billions of gold coins. As for things, if this is called the imperial financial support, the entire financial system may go bankrupt in a few days. Although Li Cong has made a lot of money recently, he can’t just spend it so generously. No, the new army’s The cost is not a small amount, and many people are now starting to play small 99.
Although many people have ideas, but these people have no way out. Now they all went over to drink with Lucy with their cups. The family may be weakened by this money. Who knew that this kid would survive like that? Why didn't I have such a good cousin? Look at my cousins, they are all proficient in eating, drinking and having fun, and their tongues are bent when it comes to serious things Hey, if you can't do any serious things, your life is not as good as this kid.
Lucy drank half a catty of wine in a short time. This kid's drinking capacity is very strong, but he can't hold on after drinking like this for a while. But fortunately Wu Hai came over at this time and pulled this guy out. Otherwise, Lu Xi might be sacrificed in alcohol today. The people were shocked, no one knew what Wu Hai said to Lu Xi, they just knew that this kid immediately drank after coming back, it seems that he never thought that such a good thing would happen, until today The secret was not revealed until a month after the banquet. This Lucy not only gave all the horses in his hands to the new army, but also had a profit point, that is, this guy did not charge Li Cong a gold coin, but paid the price with Li Cong's goods. When the batch of goods was sold, not only all the money from the bank was returned, but there was also a profit of less than one million gold coins. If someone said it, it would feel that the profit of one million gold coins was too little. It's not interesting at all, but this kid is going to face a loss of hundreds of millions of gold coins. Now he doesn't need to pay out a single gold coin. On the contrary, he can still get 100 million gold coins into the account. I didn't expect this guy to have such a result. Another point is that after many people knew that Li Cong had taken his horse, they more or less dared to offend this guy.
The banquet was still going on, the second prince and the other princes left after saying a few auspicious words while waiting for the old lady to come out. They had lost enough of this person today, so they didn't want to stay here any longer It means that the Liangzi between several people and Li Cong has just been formed like that. When they went out, they saw Li Cong's smug smile. They were really uncomfortable. They are the most noble people in this empire. The boy who was not very prominent a few months ago has now become an empire. The first person with power, this is really unimaginable, many people don't know how to say it, but the current big form is that no matter how people get up, don't they all pay attention to speaking with facts now, don't worry about others What did you do in the past? Anyway, he is now the first prince. If he were the prince, he might let you go. After all, you are the future prince of the country, but it is completely different now. Although you are all princes, you On the surface, your name is not as good as that of a prince, even if you all add up, it is useless. A prince is a prince, and a prince is a prince. The gap between the two is really too big.
There are many reasons why the second prince and Li Cong are not happy, and the other is the problem of the Huaxia Bank that popped up recently. This thing had never appeared before, but it suddenly came out in the past few months. The place is also the best place on Qianmen Street. The second prince also asked someone to find out that there are fifteen shops in a row there for the little princess's dowry. If I thought about it, I would be too inhuman. I still have to hang out in the imperial capital in the future. This thing can't be done. I thought it was the little princess who played around with her. Who knows that this matter will become more and more serious. Now there are at least three people in the imperial capital bank. One-third of it is that they can't continue to mix, and it's not a good thing that they can't let the money out of their hands. More than half of the banks have entered a half-dead state, and they are basically busy every month. Only this Huaxia Bank is very well-run. It released tens of billions of gold coins in a month. You must know that it can be returned at a profit of 40% in one year. This is a business where money makes money. It will be the most profitable at any time. The princes used to control the most profitable business in the imperial capital, but now someone has reached out. Although it is their little sister on the surface, everyone knows that in fact, This thing is Li Cong's business. Speaking of Li Cong, these brothers are all gnashing their teeth, but there is no way to do anything to this kid.
"Damn it, this damn Huaxia Bank has caused our brothers a lot of losses. In the past, the monthly interest was worth millions of gold coins, but now it's better, and hundreds of thousands of gold coins are gone in a month. , these damned guys. They all know that the interest rate there is 40%, and they all ran there. In fact, why don’t those fools understand that our interest rate is higher, but we can pay according to the daily I came to calculate with them, these bastards will have to pay back the interest for a year, and they think they have taken advantage of it." On the way back, I passed by a Huaxia Bank. In this era, many people do not have the concept of opening branches. When Li Cong opened Huaxia Bank, he opened twelve stores in the whole city at once. The twelve rooms are all in good locations, so they have attracted the attention of the people in the city since they opened.
"Hehe, second brother, I'm not talking about you. We are all princes. It's better to pay less attention to these business matters. Although money is very important, the most important thing to us is not the money issue." , if the second brother keeps looking at the money issue, something will happen. We princes all have their own sources of income. Although the bank is a big project, we can't take it so seriously. We can't follow the Like Lucy, he became the laughing stock of the people in the entire imperial capital. Nobles are nobles, and they cannot be like ordinary businessmen. Only those nobles in the Southern Empire who are not genuine can take business so seriously." Fourth Emperor The prince said with a smile, money is something that their princes value more, but it is still very easy for them to get some money to buy and sell, so they don't care much if the money is lost. After all, this thing is important to them It is also dispensable.
If someone else reprimanded Huang Er Er like that. It is estimated that the big-eared melon seeds have passed away long ago, but this fourth son of the emperor has always been a person who is not very prominent in the guise, but after the prince was abolished this time, the fourth son of the emperor suddenly became the leading figure among the entire princes No matter whether it is in the court or under the court, this guy's connections are amazing. No one knows that this guy who usually looks like a smile has such a huge power. The second prince just smiled like that and didn't say anything. This younger brother has been different since he was a child. This guy will only smile at you when he hates you. In the past, this Jiahui treated the prince The smile was very bright, but what happened to the crown prince? Although he did not die at the hands of this guy, he still had a certain relationship with this guy. I knew that the prince would definitely fail, but instead of persuading the prince not to continue, this guy helped the prince to do a lot of preparation work, and finally left the prince with nothing left.
"Fourth brother, don't you always say that the economy may affect the direction of a country? Didn't we also think about giving the financial industry of the imperial capital to our own hands? If there is no Huaxia Bank, maybe we Maybe it has already been done?" Since the empress's Wu Ya family was unlucky, Huang Qizi is still in the middle stage until now. In the past, it was said that if the prince is finished, this kid will definitely be the prince. It's a pity that not only did this kid not become the prince, but he was disgusted by the emperor. After the establishment of the Prince Alliance, this kid jumped out again. It seems that this kid is the best in the entire alliance. Huanshi, he looks harmless to humans and animals, but in fact, this guy has a lot of thoughts in his mind, and the fourth son of the emperor also knows that if someone competes with him for that seat, this kid must be a big enemy.
"Seventh brother, you underestimate the economy of this country. There are billions of people in our empire. Now that the savages have been defeated, there are so many more places. There are too many people and things. Let alone us, even the emperor dare not say that he can control the economy of our country. First of all, how many gold coins can we mobilize? How much is Li Cong? These are not things we can decide. Sometimes the money can decide big things. A few days ago, I heard Li Cong say that being an official for thousands of miles is only for money. Maybe many of us would not agree with this sentence before, but now It should be a good thing to think about it. You see, many nobles among us have lost their power now. They just have a name. What are they worried about now? It’s not something in the court at all. Worrying about their own three meals, they will try their best to make money for themselves, just like our brothers, we are now princes, to say something disrespectful, if the father passes, most of us will become The prince and county king. The worst thing is to be a duke. Our life should be fine, and our son’s life should be fine, but after two or three generations? Our descendants may not have a prince at that time. The duke, at that time they will all enter a more embarrassing time. I am too good. The emperor at that time will be suspicious of them and will not give them a chance to stand out. If I am not good, the expenses of the whole family will be a problem , Maybe you will say that the imperial court has to give them tens of thousands of gold coins for food every year, but you have to think that they are not ordinary people, and they are happy for a long time with a single gold coin. They are happy with a little money. All of them came out of Fugui Township with golden spoons in their mouths. They don’t want to live the life of ordinary people. They all want to live that kind of life. It’s like we say that some of our children of the same generation want to lose face if they have no money. It was the same for our children and grandchildren at that time. If we leave some business for them at this time, the business that can make money. Maybe It’s different, even if they are all down, they can still have a good life, the title will change, and he will still have the money at any time, hehe. This is far from what I said, I just want to say If we really fight together, we won't have the advantage." The fourth son of the emperor has only recently come to this realization. In the past, many things were not very clear, but recently he understood it from a sentence from Li Cong.
"Hmph, isn't Li Cong just selling tea and perfume? Those things are not what ordinary people eat every day. That is to say, nobles can have something to use. Although they make a lot of money, they don't have much. We are different, we have the largest grain and cloth in the empire, and this is the most profitable business, at least 500 million people in the entire empire are waiting for our grain to eat and our cloth to make clothes." The emperor The second son said disdainfully, when it comes to money, the boy is really a bit of a spectator, among other things, if the horses in Lu Xi's hand are handed over to them, they will pay the bill with food, even if they kill them If they are willing, they have no place to put the food worth billions of gold coins. If it is not well preserved, there will be nothing left after a rain. This tea and perfume are different. There is not much cargo, and a slightly larger cargo compartment can be put down.
"Second brother, this is your fault. As far as I know, this Li Cong's business is really good. Although our grain, oil and cloth business occupies a relatively large market, our profit is also low every year." There are only one billion gold coins. The amount of this thing is huge, but the profit is not very high. It is normal for the tea produced by Li Cong to sell for 100,000 gold coins per catty. His cost is at most about 40,000 gold coins. As for the 50% profit, this is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that there are more people selling food in the entire empire. Although the strength is not as strong as ours, they are also doing this business. We are just better than others It’s just a little bit bigger. Li Cong is different. You see, the things he sells are not what we can produce. Didn’t we ask our people to study those things for a long time? What a pity. What's more, we don't seem to be able to make it, especially the perfume, among other things, the glass bottle alone is beyond our reach." The emperor's seventh son can be said to know the most about Li Cong. Sometimes I also want to win over Li Cong, but what can Li Cong say to you, a prince who is about to die, and when it comes to hating Li Cong, this guy is also the most.
"Lao Qi is right. In the past, we still had our own place in the bank of the imperial capital. Now it seems that we are not as good as this Huaxia bank. We are also caused by disunity. The money in this bank It’s all like our own, and we use a lot of it every year.” The third son of the emperor has never said a word, this guy is not very famous in the royal family, and his mother is not very prominent, so good things can’t happen to this Boy, the bank was managed by his subordinates in the past, but the few princes here have no money at every turn, so they ask someone to withdraw some. Until now, these people owed the most money, but Can you press them for debt? It seems that it is not very possible, today it is just a resentment.
"Third brother, what do you mean? Why do I feel that you are angry? Yes, brother, I borrowed a lot of money, but it's not that I don't want to give you an IOU. Besides. The bank also has my shares. If I spend my own money, do I still have to pay interest?" The second son of the emperor immediately became unhappy, although all of them have debts under them, but when it comes to the most debts, the boss of the Prince Alliance has the most debts Yes, this guy owes tens of millions of gold coins in debt, do you want him to pay back the money? That's no drama at all, this kid just wants to use my dividends when he opens his mouth. Their bank has a scale of one billion gold coins, and it is jointly run by dozens of people. One year's profit is worth 500 to 600 million gold coins, but it would be good to have 200 million gold coins left over from various expenses, and the maximum 10 million gold coins that can be distributed to Huang Er Er, if he takes money In terms of interest, it is estimated that this kid will have to repay the dividends for decades, and the other people also have debts. Hearing what the third child said, although they are not as big as the second child Angry, but also full of dissatisfaction in his eyes. Now I have to go up and talk to the third child, what's wrong with taking some of my own money, and what's wrong.
"No, second brother, why would I talk like that? Our brothers can use it casually, but those little ones. And those princes and sons in the palace also came out to share a share with us. Isn't this a bit too much? These guys are useless at ordinary times. These people are like parasites. They are all counting on the shares that their ancestors bought in, just like Ann. Like a county king, who could see that he is a prince in the early years. Who in the imperial capital can buy his account? Good guy, it’s amazing now, and he has followed Li Cong. We will treat such a person He should be kicked out of our bank. He didn’t make a lot of money. When the bank was established, his grandfather paid 5,000 gold coins and took 1% of the shares. Such a person has two It’s nothing special, but shareholders like this in our bank can add up to more than 15% of the shares. We might as well find a way to tell them to go away. The 15% a year is almost a year. One hundred million gold coins." The youngest thought for a while and said, he certainly didn't have the confidence to offend his brothers, but his mind was wandering fast, and in order to make up for his mistakes, he quickly thought of such a way to kill the chicken and get the eggs , Although there are many shareholders in their bank, those shareholders are also very powerful. If anyone offends them, they will not be able to die well, so their bank has a lot of business, and no one dares not to pay back the money, but If they don't have these shareholders, it will be hard to say what they will be like in the future. The fourth prince originally wanted to oppose this matter, but he didn't expect that the princes would all agree after the third son finished talking. These people There is no long-term vision at all, each of these people is very ignorant, and they are happy to do the killing of chickens and eggs one by one. No one thinks about their tomorrow, everyone thinks about them How much money will be divided, this amount of money is not a small amount.
Soon the decisions of the princes came to Li Cong's table, Li Cong was really dumbfounded, what was going on in the minds of these princes, they would have such thoughts, maybe they all felt that they were already very powerful No, there is no need for the help of these palaces and dukes at all, they can run their own businesses completely, for many palaces and dukes, they were dumbfounded when they received this notice, although the income Not a lot, just like King An, one hundred thousand gold coins per one percent per year, which is certainly not a lot for the current King An, but in the past, King An did not follow Li Cong's lead. At that time, the 800,000 gold coins were a very important income of the Anjun Palace. At that time, the Anjun Wang had a prince's sign, and there was nothing left, and there was no filial piety from the servants below. Now the money is gone. It’s nothing to the Anjun Palace, isn’t it just hundreds of thousands of gold coins? Now the Anjun Palace has also got some business from Li Cong, and it also gives millions of gold coins every month. It's in the account, so the money is not so serious, but what about the other small shareholders? Not everyone can share some food with Li Cong. Many people are still the same and have no other sources of income at all. The way the princes do it will kill them.
Just like Prince Qing's family, the old man didn't care much about the affairs of the court a long time ago. Although Prince Qing's mansion was well-off in the early years, after so many decades of waste, the whole mansion is a mess. It's very desolate, Prince Qing has 2% of the shares, and now he can get two million gold coins every year. Counting other income, Prince Qing's mansion only earns five million gold coins a year. This money is absolutely crucial to the mansion. If so much money is lost all of a sudden, it will make things worse. The palace of the second prince is even more difficult, so the actions of the princes directly angered the clan and nobles headed by Prince Qing, and they all came to the gate of the second prince's residence in groups. They want to ask if this Prince Alliance is established, can they swallow everything regardless of the favor of their relatives. Are all people so heartless?
"Long Wu, come out to me. I want to see what you have become. You are too courageous. I just beat the prince of Dingjun yesterday, and I will drive us out of the bank today." Damn, this bank has become what it is now, is it because of us? It’s not because you brothers are borrowing money everywhere and causing famine everywhere.” Prince Qing is already in his fifties, but now the relationship To live your own life, this is something you cannot back down from.
"Yes, what's wrong with you being princes? Princes can't just swallow our money like that. There's no such thing as a stock withdrawal plan. We all paid for it at the beginning. It's not like empty-handed wolves go in, You gave us as much as we invested back then, you fart." Another guy in duke uniform also said, it seems that he is also one of the victims of this incident, look at the look on his face, If Long Wu was here, he would have to go up and beat him.
"Yes. Hurry up and explain to us, otherwise don't blame us for not being sympathetic..." Everyone was really excited.
The princes in the yard did not expect the reaction of these people to be so big. In fact, this is a very normal thing. You ruined the guys who eat, do you still expect them to treat you well? Besides, others dare not How about the prince. They are not afraid, anyway, the laws of the empire stipulate that if the children of the royal family really fight, they will fight, and they will not be sentenced. Everyone is not very afraid, as long as they come out, they will really beat them up.
The people outside want to call in, and the people inside also want to go out, mother, this incident today is beyond everyone's expectations, the third brother who came up with this idea is almost about to be beaten to death by these brothers , What the hell kind of idea did this fucker come up with? The shopkeeper of the bank came to report this morning. The few of them just wanted to discuss with the second child how to divide the spoils. After all, hundreds of millions of gold coins were produced in one year , This is not a small amount, how many people are watching it, it must be properly divided, although their bank is not very good now, but the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, how many people can still have every year A lot of profits come down, everyone needs to eat and live, so they all came early, I didn't expect that this serious matter they thought hadn't started to discuss, and they were blocked here one by one. Ordinary people would just ask the city guards to come and pull them out, but this is not allowed here. People from outside can walk into Suzaku Street, which one has no foundation? There are still a few officers from the City Guard Army outside, or their elder brother or brother-in-law is the City Guard Army. Since the City Guard Army is no longer available, it is also impossible to use your own bodyguards. It seems that there are hundreds of people, but there are more people outside. It is absolutely impossible for the hundred people to disperse them. Otherwise, there will be bloodshed. I just offended Li Cong recently. Well, if this continues to offend people, it is no joke. Even if their alliance is very strong, it is impossible to face so many enemies at the same time.
"Third brother, you came up with this idea. You go out and explain it clearly to them, and quickly give them the compensation money you gave them and tell them to fuck off. The one who told them is dizzy. Why are they all so unhappy? Open up." The second son of the emperor said with his mouth wide open. When he said that before, the third child must have gone to work immediately. The third child is relatively honest, but today the third child did not speak. He is honest, but he is definitely not a fool. He is very aware of the power of those people outside today. If he really can't handle it well, the crime may be his own, which he cannot bear.
"Second brother, I was the one who came up with the idea at the beginning, but everyone seemed to be there when I said the idea. Everyone didn't say anything about our opinion. Many people said it was very good. This came out. You can't just let me take on this matter when things happen. I don't think it's helpful to ask me to go out as a scapegoat now. Everyone should be honest and think of a way. I think it's better to avoid other messy ideas. "The youngest said something neither soft nor hard, damn it, you didn't see me when I was distributing the money, now one by one saw something happened and wanted to get me out, there is no door, I am not a fool How could it hurt this block? You are so childish.
As soon as the second child heard this, he became angry, so he wanted to come up and grab the third child by the neck and beat him up. This guy is really too much, when did he become so courageous, dare to challenge the second brother, but before this guy gets up, the fifth and the sixth will go up after receiving the eyes of the fourth. Pulled away, "When is it, the fire is on the house, can you two talk about something specific? Don't be so unreal, I called you here to do business. I don't want you to talk nonsense here Yes, the imperial capital never has any secrets. Even if the third child is pushed out, it is useless. Who doesn’t know that this decision was made by us brothers together. If you say such things again, the second child, it will hurt brothers feelings." Although the fourth child is the fourth child, his strength is considered to be the strongest at the moment. Therefore, many people nodded at his words. Indeed, at this time, someone has to stand up and stop the fight between the second child and the third child. Otherwise, before it even starts, the position on his side will be in chaos.
"Hmph, kid. Wait for me." The second child snorted and glanced at the third child, and the third child over there returned a glance not to be outdone, saying that he is a prince and that his mother is useless. Don't dare to compete with other princes. Don't think that I'm easy to bully.
"Fourth brother. Today is my elder brother giving you face. Otherwise, I will definitely beat this kid up. I said, this will not work, and that will not work. What should we do? These people are so popular at this time There is no humanity at all." The second child glanced at the excited eyes of the crowd below, and each of them was about to burst into flames, telling himself to tell them these things would be to kill himself will not go down,
"If we ruin their fortune, they will naturally make trouble with us." Lao Qi said gloomyly. Anyway, he is the least worried about it. He doesn't have any shares in this bank. He has his own. Empress, that money can’t be said to be too much to spend, but those who are as poor as them have to find their own pocket money. The old Qi has tens of millions of new year’s money every year, although it’s not very much, But it's not a lot, besides, after the queen's mother lost the prince, she sent things out twice in three days, a small part went to the queen's maiden's house, and a lot of it went into the hands of this guy.
"It's not good, it's not good, it's not good for the masters, the convoy that transported gold coins from our bank from the southern provinces was robbed, and more than two thousand people were all killed, just fifty miles outside the city. There." Just as they were trying to find a way, a guy in charge came in and said, his words made everyone dumbfounded, damn, how could this happen, it was supposed to arrive at the convoy transporting gold coins yesterday, but today there is no It was delayed for several days and they didn't arrive, so they asked people to search along the road, but they found such a result, which killed them.
More than two thousand people were killed? Their brains are a little dumbfounded. In the past, such things often happened in the empire, but it has been so many years, and this kind of thing has long since disappeared. At most, dozens of people died. This time they transported The gold coins are not a small amount. More than 300 carriages pull nearly 2,000 boxes of gold coins, which is a total of 100 million gold coins. This is gone. The coachmen and guards of more than 2,000 people are all dead. What happened to the gold coins? They are not fools, so they didn't ask this question. Looking at the shopkeeper, you should know that this guy must have run back. He didn't dare to stop for fifty miles. My sweat is still ticking.
"It turned out to be like this. Since all 2,000 people died, I don't care if one more person dies. You follow along." The fourth child glanced at the shopkeeper, his eyes became sharper, and the shopkeeper suddenly thought of why he I'm about to die, I know too many things, if this news is spread, the bank may not be able to continue, so these princes must block the news, and how to block the news, naturally This guy was killed, otherwise the news might have spread.
As soon as the fourth brother finished speaking, the shopkeeper felt a pain in his back. Looking back, the second child had stabbed a knife in his back with a hideous face. This guy's life is like this It's come to an end. If he knew that something like this would happen, he might not come back. Maybe it would be the best thing to run away in Tiger Gorge. He would send such important news back to him in exchange for it. With such a knife, my twenty years of hard work will be in vain. These people are simply not human. In the past, I always heard them say that they would sacrifice some small people in exchange for huge benefits. I thought I was not a small person. Now it seems I am the kind of little person who is too boring to talk about.
"This news must not be spread. If it is really spread, many people who deposit money with us may come to withdraw money. We will not be able to pay that much. Now is not the time to quarrel. To solve the problem, ask all the shareholders below to come in. 100 million gold coins is one-third of our liquidity. It’s no problem for them to be shareholders. At this time, they have to pay, and you too, have to make up the money Come back, everyone has to pay according to their own shares." Everyone was still depressed just now, and now they are even more depressed. You must know that today they are here to collect money, so why did it become a waste of money? And the cost is not a small amount, Huang Er Er thought about it, damn it, I have to pay five million gold coins, this money can't be divided into five million gold coins, the money is so much, this will This kid isn't in such a high spirit anymore, what he's thinking about is how to get away. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
