"A little to the right!"
"A little to the left!"
"Yes, a little higher, a little higher."
The four big characters 'Huitong Commercial Bank' with gold borders are hung high, with red lanterns on both sides and long couplets in italics.
The sun is shining in the sky, bright and beautiful, and everything is very festive at the turn of spring and summer.
In the teahouse diagonally opposite, in the private room on the second floor, Zhu Xu was standing at the window and watching.
Feng Zhu also smiled, and said flatteringly to Zhu Xu, "Your Highness, what do you think?"
” "That's good."
Zhu Xu also smiled, no matter what, the façade is quite like that.
Wei Liangqing was busy and shouted loudly from time to time.
"Do you know who he hired?"
Zhu Xu took a sip of the teacup and asked.
Feng Zhu shook his head and said, "The slave maid doesn't know, it all started last night, Wei Liangqing hasn't come to tell the slave maid yet, presumably there will be no less people." ” "Then we'll see."
Zhu Xu smiled more, and after a series of flips and beatings, presumably Wei Liangqing would use all his strength to surprise him.
Feng Zhu had a smile on his face, but he was secretly shocked in his heart, this little master seemed to be careless and did whatever he wanted, but in fact, everyone had a purpose, and he had to be more careful in doing things.
"Hurry up, the chairs are moved, the tables are moved, and the food and drinks are served quickly."
"Clean the door, lay out the blankets, and prepare the firecrackers."
"Neighbors, fellow travelers, today is a festive day, you might as well come in and have a few glasses of wine."
Wei Liangqing shouted at the door, and there seemed to be people around him.
"This is Wei Liangqing?
I heard that he went to the official position......"
"Yes, I didn't expect him to dare to open a money bank, isn't he afraid of being settled by others?"
"Can't you see it, this is obviously supported by someone, otherwise how could it be so fanfare."
There was a lot of talk, but few of them dared to go in.
Wei Liangqing didn't really expect them to come in, so he called someone and asked, "Are the carriages ready?"
” "Big shopkeeper, ready."
This little guy was sent by Zhu Xu, trained for a while, acted quickly and well-behaved, and hurriedly appeared in front of Wei Liangqing.
Wei Liangqing was in a good mood and said, "Okay, are the invitations all out?"
Is there an echo?
” The little guy said, "It's all gone, and there aren't many replies." ” Wei Liangqing straightened his chest, looked up at the sky, and said with great ambition, "Okay, then let's start." ” "Yes!"
The little guy agreed.
Not long after, from behind the Huitong Commercial Bank, red carriages rolled out and rushed to all directions.
Gongs and drums are noisy, and firecrackers are ringing in unison.
At the same time, the entire capital seems to have been stirred, Wei Liangqing is originally a person of right and wrong, coupled with his actions today, it is not an exaggeration to say that everyone is in the limelight.
The Office of the Minister of Works.
"Master, are you going today?"
"He has my handle in his hand and has to go."
Overseeing the Imperial Historian's Office.
"Your Excellency, are you going out?"
"Well, Lord Ni's face can't be shirked, and if you go in and come out in a moment and a half, it must be no big deal."
"My lord, be careful, don't tell the truth."
Honglu Temple.
"Ladies and gentlemen, are you going to a banquet?"
"This, just walk, walk around."
"Yes, go and go."

Wei Zhongxian gained power, I don't know how many people stammered back then, but now these are all handles, and Wei Liangqing is not soft to use, although their rank is not high, but they are better than many people.
Yang Huaizhong Inn.
As soon as the gatekeeper saw the big red carriage stop, he immediately entered the house and said to Yang Huaizhong, "Shopkeeper, the carriage sent by Wei Liangqing is here." ” Yang Huaizhong has almost investigated Wei Liangqing's affairs in the past few days, and he knows that Wei Liangqing is indeed embarrassed.
Standing at the door of the room, he thought about it for a long time in his heart, and said, "I won't go, you let Shopkeeper Li go on my behalf, and bring it, 50,000 taels of silver." ” "Fifty thousand taels?"
The gatekeeper was shocked, they had promised 300,000 taels.
"Well, that's it, if Wei Liangqing asks, he will say that the silver can't be turned over for the time being, and the rest will be offered another day."
The gatekeeper hesitated, but said, "It's the shopkeeper." ” Pawn shop.
Qiu Yuehou looked at the big red carriage parked in front of the door, a sneer on the corner of his mouth, and said to the guy next to him: "You, go to the counter and pay five hundred taels of silver, get on this carriage, and go for me." ” That guy was stunned, is he suitable for such a big formation?
But Qiu Yuehou didn't talk nonsense, waved his hand directly, turned around and entered the house.
Such scenes are everywhere in the capital, and it is obvious that the original promises have changed and will not come, and the money promised before has also been greatly discounted.
"Lord Zhang, please inside."
"Lord Zhao, please."
"Oh, Lord Han, long time no see, please, please."
In front of Huitong Commercial Bank, people came and went, Wei Liangqing smiled and couldn't close his mouth, and welcomed the guests who came one by one inside.
Few people who came had good faces, but they all had straight faces and walked in.
The Ming Dynasty's emphasis on agriculture and suppression of commerce can be said to have reached an extreme, especially in the late Ming Dynasty, because the Qingliu official eunuch group swelled to the extreme, coupled with disasters year by year, the more attention was paid to taxation, which also gave rise to greater pressure on commerce.
Especially in the court, all those who are contaminated with the smell of copper will resign for fear of impeachment.
Although these people are willing to come, they all have the intention of coming early and leaving early, and do not give people a handle.
"Since you're here, you can't leave."
Zhu Xu put his hands behind his back and looked at the people who came and went into Huitong Commercial Bank with a smile.
"Feng Zhu, you take a pen and paper, take a look at everyone who comes in and out, write down their official positions and names, check them when you go back, and mark their resumes clearly and present them to me."
Feng Zhu was stunned for a moment, and then secretly thought, 'Your Highness, is this trying to catch these people's handles for your own use?'
’ Thinking so, he picked up the pen and paper and said, "Yes, Your Highness." ” "The Great Shopkeeper," The man who received the carriage hurriedly came to Wei Liangqing and reported: "Big shopkeeper, no one on your list has come, and besides, most of the silver they have invested has been discounted. ” Wei Liangqing was walking between the tables, frowned when he heard this, stepped aside, and said, "Give me the account book." ” The little guy hurriedly brought the account book, Wei Liangqing opened it and looked at it, his face turned green in an instant, and the hand holding the account book was trembling.
Originally, according to his plan, plus their own people, 600,000 taels basically didn't run, but now it adds up, it is less than 250,000 taels, which is more than half!
"These killers!"
Wei Liangqing's face was distorted, and his eyes were red with hatred.
He has been displeasing to the nobles recently, and if this most important matter is not handled well, he really doesn't know what the nobles will think.
The little guy asked, "What about the big shopkeeper?"
” Wei Liangqing's expression changed, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Take care of what is in front of you first, and I will settle accounts with them in the future!"
”
