Inside the Hall of Mental Cultivation.
Xu Wenshu stood in front of Emperor Jing's desk and said, "I pay my respects to Your Majesty."
Emperor Jing asked, "What is your family doing?"
Xu Wenshu said: "I came here for the money shop."
Emperor Jing raised his eyes and said, "Why? Are you still against the bank now?"
The incident at Jingxing Money House was a hot topic and was reported in the newspapers every day.
When the matter became serious at the beginning, many court officials wrote to the court requesting a suspension to avoid causing unrest among the people.
He suppressed it for a few days, and then things started to change miraculously.
Jingxing Money House's reputation among the people became better and better, and some people even exchanged silver notes for 100 taels and kept them at home.
Many people hid the silver notes with the emperor's pictures on them as treasures.
Later, some ministers even began to try to deposit money in Jingxing Money House, and memorials criticizing the money house gradually disappeared.
Now everything is fine and no major problems have arisen. Do you, Xu Wenshu, want to go against the grain again?
A trace of bitterness appeared on Xu Wenshu's face: "This is not the reason why I came here."
Thinking back to the past month...
I had originally decided to observe for a few days and then report to His Majesty, but Fang Zhengyi resorted to a series of attacks.
It completely numbed him.
Fang Zhengyi is like a monster. The amount of power and the wide range of forces he can mobilize in the capital are astonishing.
That would be fine, moving people around to do things is nothing, but those crooked and weird tricks really showed off to him.
I didn’t expect that money houses could play like this?
Is this how you can attract deposits?
Is it possible to attract customers in this way?
Thinking of that series of operations, his brain was buzzing...
This young man, damn!
He must be the reincarnation of a monster. Those things are not something a normal person would do.
I have searched through history books page by page, and have never found anything like this!
Fang Zheng had an unexpected trump card in his hand.
Taoyuan Medical Clinic and Zushi Association.
Taoyuan Clinic is already the top Chinese medicine clinic in Beijing, and countless dignitaries and common people are willing to go there for medical treatment at the first opportunity.
As for the Patriarchs' Association, it is related to most of the powerful medical clinics in the capital.
Matters of life and death can only be treated with silver bills, and this move alone is enough to promote the money house and establish its position.
But unexpectedly, Fang Zhengyi was still not satisfied and kept making moves...
It takes an ordinary money house decades of accumulated reputation to achieve some success, and a hundred years to gain a firm foothold.
But once he made a move, he almost wiped out all of his century-old peers in the capital within a month... Now other money houses in the capital are complaining, their old customers are running away, and only the last one is hanging on.
Some money houses wanted to seek redress from the imperial court through their connections and contacted the Ministry of Revenue, hoping to slightly halt the crazy development of Jingxing Money House and give other money houses a break.
But can Xu Wenshu stop it? !
The more I look at Fang Zhengyi, the more he seems like a freak... If he keeps doing this, he might be played so hard that nothing will be left of him.
Furthermore, Fang Zhengyi had already given him the bank's charter in its entirety, and even shared a copy of its internal account books with him from time to time.
This is enough to show his magnanimity. If I were still worrying about those trivial things, it would be tactless.
"Then what do you want to say?" asked Emperor Jing.
"What I want to say is that the status of Jingxing Money House has been established and cannot be shaken, and your Majesty's reputation among the people is unprecedented. Therefore, in order to deal with the impact of Jingxing Money House in the future, the court should make plans early and stop watching from the sidelines." Xu Wenshu said.
Unprecedented!
"Oh?" Emperor Jing was happy. "So, your family is not going to object?"
"No objection, no objection." Xu Wenshu said with a red face, "It is my fault that I am blind. The Marquis of Jianye is as creative as ever... It is far beyond my imagination."
Emperor Jing curled the corners of his mouth.
As the largest shareholder, he naturally paid close attention to the development of Jingxing Bank. Fang Zhengyi's extraordinary operation really shocked him.
But it wasn't like Xu Wenshu was paralyzed by the shock. Fang Zhengyi always played some tricks, and he was almost immune to paralysis...
"You are right. The great success of the bank is a matter of great importance to the whole country. The imperial court cannot take it lightly. Do you know how much money Jingxing Bank has collected from the people now?"
Xu Wenshu hesitated and said, "Marquis Jianye once showed me the bank's account book. I remember that there should be more than 19 million taels... But that was some time ago. I really don't know how much there is now."
Emperor Jing smiled slightly and said, "Let me tell you, the total is now 27,230,000 taels! And it is still growing rapidly at the moment, with no sign of stopping."
"This..." Xu Wenshu was so shocked that he was speechless.
The growth rate of deposits has far exceeded his imagination.
Emperor Jing sighed, "Zhengyi is definitely a rare genius. He has such an amazing efficiency that he created such a huge company in just one month. If he continues to set up branches across the country, I think in a few years, people will only know Jingxing Bank and not other banks."
"If we can gather the financial resources of the world, nothing will be impossible for the imperial court!"
As soon as these words came out, cold sweat flowed down Xu Wenshu's forehead.
A wave of fear surged in my heart.
It was not for the money house, but for the emperor... His Majesty was behind Fang Zhengyi's founding of the money house!
Then Your Majesty can do whatever he wants, right?
Xu Wenshu swallowed his saliva and said, "Your Majesty, I suggest that this matter be brought to the court for discussion with colleagues as soon as possible. Jingxing Bank is just established, and more stringent regulations are needed to protect the people's wealth."
Emperor Jing looked at him and said calmly, "Are you afraid of the chaos that may happen to me?"
Xu Wenshu's heart tightened: "I dare not."
"You don't dare?" Emperor Jing smiled calmly, "But Fang Zheng dares. He has reported to me for three consecutive days since the day before yesterday. The money house he founded is more afraid than you. He even wants the court to enact new laws to restrict money houses."
"What did Marquis Jianye say to Your Majesty?" Xu Wenshu slowly relaxed.
Fang Zhengyi was so proactive, it seemed that he had anticipated the hidden dangers, which was good news.
Emperor Jing sighed, "When you were young, you always spoke directly to me. Why do you become more and more timid as you grow older?"
"Zhengyi told me that money houses are related to people's wealth. If they are used recklessly, it will cause panic among the people and a run on the bank. If something happens, it may be a national disaster. Even if I don't use it recklessly, I can't prevent my descendants from doing evil in the future."
"He's right. This world belongs to me, so I naturally hope that my country will last forever, not fall into chaos."
