Kowloon wins

Chapter 536

The people of the country have always been good at booing, but they have never been used to democracy. It is obviously too embarrassing for tens of thousands of people to elect their own representatives at the moment. Disagreements and concessions have become an enduring classic repertoire. After going on and on for nearly two quarters of an hour, the so-called representative is still having a difficult delivery, and the whole scene is in a mess and making endless noises, which makes people's eardrums hurt, but Hong Qing doesn't mind at all, and always has a smile on her face standing.

"Caomin wait to kowtow to the prince!"

After quarreling for more than half an hour, a dozen or so representatives were finally pushed out by the public. Led by the most prestigious Chen Shunchang, they nervously passed through the guard line of the soldiers and came before Hong Qing. Kneeled on the ground.

"No, please be flat."

Even though she waited for so long, Hong Qing didn't show any impatience, she raised her hand with a smile on her face, and yelled warmly.

"Caomin is waiting to thank the Lord Long En."

Maybe Hong Qing has always appeared in front of everyone with a kind face, Chen Shunchang and the others didn't seem too afraid, after thanking respectfully, they just stood up straight like this, but they didn't dare to ask questions easily for a while , the atmosphere is inevitably a little dull.

"If you have any questions, please ask them one by one, but what King Xiaoben can answer will definitely not disappoint you."

Hong Qing smiled softly, waved her hand, and gave a gentle order.

"The prince is so lenient and kind to others, I really admire the old man. I shouldn't bother the prince anymore, but the old man is entrusted by others, but I have to disturb the prince. If there is any offence, I ask the prince to forgive me. "

As soon as Hong Qing said these words, the faces of the dozen or so representatives became unnatural. After looking at each other for a while, Chen Shunchang, as the chief representative, came forward to accuse him.

"It's okay, Mr. Chen has any questions, just ask."

Hong Qing waved her hands graciously, and replied with a smile.

"Well, the little old man is going to be presumptuous. The prince once said that he has transferred 80 taels of silver, and I can withdraw cash at any time after three days. Do I have to pay any fees?"

Hearing Hongqing's words, Chen Shunchang's old face immediately turned red, obviously he felt that it was inappropriate to doubt Hongqing's sincerity, but it was a matter of his family and life, Chen Shunchang would not miss this good opportunity to find out the court's intentions , After pondering for a while, he still asked questions like a cannonball.

"Old Mr. Chen asked a good question. What the king said and the order of the sage, there is no lie. As for the withdrawal ratio, there is no limit. As long as you have evidence in hand, you can withdraw as much as you want. If the 80 taels of silver are not enough , the king promises to transfer again from the Shanxi treasury bank to ensure that all those who want to withdraw cash can return with satisfaction. Of course, all the agreements made between you and the "Risheng Bank" will be implemented as usual. For those who withdraw cash in advance, what percentage of fees should be deducted? , everything is executed according to the contract, does Mr. Chen have any questions?"

Chen Shunchang asked urgently and quickly, but Hongqing didn't show any impatience, and answered all the questions one by one slowly.

"That's good, that's good, hehe, I don't want to talk too much, and I don't know if the 'Industrial and Commercial Bank of China' will have any new measures after it opens?"

Now that the money from "Risheng Bank" can be guaranteed to be recovered, Chen Shunchang is relieved, but at the same time, his curiosity about the upcoming "Industrial and Commercial Bank of China" has aroused, and he obviously hesitated After that, he smiled awkwardly, and asked again tentatively.

"Mr. Chen's question is not easy for me to answer. It's not that I don't want to say it, but I don't know. What's going on, we have to wait for the people sent by the 'Eight Banners Company' to discuss with the 'Japanese After negotiating with Sheng Bank, there was a result just now. However, there is one thing I can guarantee, that is, the original business of "Ri Sheng Bank" will not change, and there will be many measures to facilitate people and business. Chen If the old gentleman doesn't believe it, and wait and see, this matter won't be delayed for too long, and there will be a plan within a month."

Upon hearing Chen Shunchang's question, Hong Qing couldn't help laughing, shook her head slightly, and explained sincerely.

"So that's the case, the old man will just wait and see. Thank you, my lord, for clarifying the confusion. The old man has no other questions."

Chen Shunchang originally planned to withdraw all the money stored in the "Risheng Bank", but now he heard Hongqing's explanation, and his mind was unavoidably shaken again, but he didn't show it, he was just respectful He saluted politely, thanked him, and stepped aside.

"My lord, Caomin is Sun Fushun, the shopkeeper of 'Wangji Porcelain Shop'. I have been entrusted by you, and I have a few questions that I would like to ask my lord to explain to you."

As soon as Chen Shunchang stepped back, a rich middle-aged fat man rushed out from the side, bowed to Hong Qing with a flattering smile on his face, and talked nonsense.

"Business Manager Sun just ask if you have any questions, my king is listening."

Sun Fushun's self-righteous nonsense is really a bit nondescript, but Hong Qing didn't mind it, but saw him smiling and raised his hand, and said kindly.

"My lord, Caomin's money exists in the 'Remittance Bank'. Now, the bank is closed and out of business. Caomin and others can't get it after searching for shopkeeper Xiao. They have no choice but to come here to find justice. Now the 'Risheng Bank' 'The matter has come to an end, but the grass people and others still don't know when they can get back the deposit silver, and ask the prince to make decisions for the grass people."

Hearing Hong Qing's words, Sun Fushun's eye circles turned red, and he called Qu Lai in a tearful voice.

"Treasurer Sun, please rest assured, this king will make the decision for you, but now the whereabouts of shopkeeper Xiao of the 'Huicun Qianzhuang' is unknown, and this king is also a little embarrassed. That's all right, this king will immediately ask the governor's yamen to issue an announcement. If you search for this person, if you haven't seen him within ten days, the king will order his bank and family property to be sealed up and auctioned off together. Lose it."

Xiao Lufeng, the owner of "Huicun Bank", is a member of Baye's party, and he is currently hiding in the mansion of the treasury seat of the Shanxi Fantai. Hongqing has known this for a long time, and the reason why he doesn't move it is not because he doesn't want to. It's about waiting for the right time. Now, with tens of thousands of creditors surrounding the Governor's Yamen to petition, the time has come. Hong Qing will not be polite to Xiao Lufeng. Using Sun Fushun's words, he made it clear that he will "Huicun Bank" put to death.

"My lord said so, there is no reason for the grassroots to feel at ease, it's just time..."

Perhaps it was because Hong Qing was easy to talk, Sun Fushun really had a heart to look forward to Shu, trying to get more benefits from Hong Qing, but before he finished speaking, he suddenly saw the evil spirit on Hong Qing's body, and he was shocked to realize that the person in front of him The master is not an ordinary official, but a well-known "official butcher". He couldn't help but shivered, and the unreasonable thoughts that he hadn't uttered turned into nothing in an instant. stepped aside.

"My lord, my lord, Zhang Daquan, the treasurer of the 'Wancheng Company' in Liaocheng, Caomin, has saved 10 taels on the 'Heshun Bank'. Now 'Heshun Bank' has been closed for a long time, and the Caomin have nowhere to ask for help. I heard that the lord was ordered to go to Shanxi on business. I came here from Shandong, and I ask the prince to uphold justice for the grassroots."

The sudden burst of evil spirit from Hong Qing's body not only frightened Sun Fushun, but also stunned several representatives who were ready to move. Trembled and begged for permission.

"The king has already known about this matter, and he has written a letter to the Shandong Governor's Yamen a few days ago, under his supervision. When shopkeeper Zhang returns to Shandong, maybe the matter should come to fruition."

The "Heshun Bank" in Jinan Prefecture, Shandong Province is not large in scale, and it only ranks at the bottom of the six major banks, but its operating conditions are not bad. The reason why it will be closed this time is entirely caused by the financial turmoil , itself is not a serious problem, but as soon as the news that the "Risheng Bank" issue has been resolved is sent back to Shandong, "Heshun Bank" can almost open for business. On this point, Hongqing has already passed the "Kirin Firm" Shandong The investigation of the semicolon is clear, so there is no need to worry too much about the bank. However, Hong Qing did not intend to reveal the strangeness inside, but gave Zhang Daquan an explanation in a positive tone.

"That's good, that's good, the grass man rushed back immediately, I hope everything goes well, the grass man won't disturb the prince, the grass man will leave."

Hearing what Hong Qing said was so affirmative, Zhang Daquan had no reason not to believe it. After he was relieved, his heart became stronger. After bowing and saluting, he hurriedly went out. It doesn't matter, Chen Shunchang and the others didn't dare to stay any longer, they asked Hongqing to resign one after another, returned to the petitioners, and informed the people gathered outside the cordon of what they had obtained from negotiating with Hongqing, but they heard loud cheers At this point, tens of thousands of people have dispersed like birds and beasts, and the turmoil of a civil uprising has come to an end.

"My lord, the matter is over, please come in and rest."

Seeing that the crowd gathered outside the yamen disappeared, Li Quan, who had been following Hong Qing all along, finally felt relieved, and after letting out a sigh of relief, he approached Hong Qing with a smile on his face, fawning on him. Ask for instructions.

"Ah."

After a busy morning, Hong Qing was indeed very tired, so she would not be hypocritical, she nodded her head in response, and was about to turn around and walk into the yamen, but before Hong Qing could turn around completely, she listened for a while. Amidst the clatter of horseshoes, a group of people rushed towards the Governor's Yamen in a hurry. Seeing this, Hong Qing immediately frowned...
