Take the warehouse back to the end of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 245 Issuing Silver Coins
When this group of soldiers rushed into the British government, the entire British government fell into panic again.

The entire British government seemed to have been ravaged by countless locusts, and countless things were removed by this group of people.

Even the clothes of those people in the mansion were stripped off by this group of people.

When Cao Huachun led this group of plundered soldiers to leave, the entire British government had lost its former glory.

Just like the slums, the foundation of the British government for more than 200 years disappeared on this day.

When Cao Huachun returned to the palace, the British Duke Zhang Zhiji and his son Zhang Shize were kneeling in the imperial study, crying to Chongzhen.

"Your Majesty, you must vent your anger on the old minister. This group of people came from nowhere, and they rushed into my mansion directly, killing anyone they saw, and robbing everything they saw. Your Majesty must send an army to kill this group of people." Everyone gave me a hard meal."

Zhang Zhiji knelt on the ground, crying bitterly with snot and tears.

Chongzhen looked at Zhang Zhiji in such a state, and sighed: "I have already asked Cao Huachun to lead the Beijing camp to the British government. You don't have to worry, the result will be there soon."

At this moment, Cao Huachun slowly walked in from outside the imperial study.

Chongzhen looked at Cao Huachun who came in, his eyes lit up, and he asked slowly: "Brother, how is the matter going? Have you found out the identities of those people?"

Cao Huachun saluted Chongzhen, and said slowly: "My lord, when I went to the British government, those people have already run away, I didn't keep them.

Moreover, the goal of this group of people is very clear, they only went to rob the British government, and did not attack other places.

It must be that someone in the British government has offended these people. "

When Chongzhen heard this, he immediately felt relieved.

It seems that this group of people is not coming for me, as long as they are not coming for me, then everything is easy to say.

It's just that some people here dare to attack the capital. This matter must be investigated clearly, otherwise, the capital will be unstable.

Chongzhen asked slowly: "Then do you know the origins of these people?"

Cao Huachun pondered for a moment, then said nonsense without blushing, heartbeat, or panting: "Return to the emperor, these people are not soldiers, they look more like bandits.

Although this group of people were all wearing armor, the style of the armor was quite different from that of the army, and only a small number of these people wore armor, and the rest did not wear armor.

It may be that the British Duke offended a certain gangster, and was hated by these gangsters. "

When Zhang Zhiji heard Cao Huachun's words, he instantly became angry, "You stray dog, what do you know, what the old man saw were soldiers with armor and armor, not some thugs.

The old man sees that you are definitely in collusion with these people, maybe the address of the old man was revealed by you, a stray dog. "

The distraught Zhang Zhiji was like a mad dog, biting anyone he saw.If this wasn't the Imperial Study Room, Zhang Zhiji might roll up his sleeves and go straight up to beat Cao Huachun.

Chongzhen looked at Zhang Zhiji who was extremely furious, his brows were slightly wrinkled, and dissatisfaction appeared on his face.

No matter how unbearable this Cao Huachun was, he was also Chongzhen's great companion, the eunuch in charge of the Sili Supervisor, and Chongzhen's confidant.

As the saying goes, a big dog still depends on its owner. Zhang Zhiji scolded Cao Huachun like this. From Chongzhen's point of view, wasn't he scolding himself in a roundabout way?

Chongzhen looked at Zhang Zhiji, his face gradually turned cold.

"My lord Yingying, is there anything you don't want to talk about? You make such a noise, don't you take me seriously?" Chongzhen's eyes narrowed, and a gloomy look appeared on his face.

Although Zhang Zhiji played a great role in Chongzhen's ascension to the throne, this does not mean that Zhang Zhiji can be presumptuous in front of Chongzhen.

Cao Huachun was an old man in Chongzhen's latent residence. If Zhang Zhiji scolded Cao Huachun like this, wouldn't he be slapping Chongzhen's big mouth?

Cao Huachun looked at Zhang Zhiji, who was like a mad dog, and said with a sneer, "Hehe, Lord Guo really knows how to joke. You said that the miscellaneous family was with those, so what evidence do you have?
Although the miscellaneous family is very sympathetic to what happened to the Duke, it doesn't mean that the Duke can spit out blood because of it.

The emperor has his own conclusions on this matter, the Duke of the State does not need to do this to the miscellaneous family. "

"You dog slave, you are just an eunuch, how dare you speak like that in front of this old man?"

The current British Duke has long been dominated by anger, and at this time he doesn't care where this place is.

Cao Huachun glanced at Zhang Zhiji lightly, and then said to Chongzhen: "My lord, when I led the troops to the British government, those people had already left, and there is almost nothing left in the British government today." That group of people were like locusts, removing everything that could be moved from the British government.

There is only an empty shell left in the British government today, and everything in it is gone. "

Hearing this, Chongzhen frowned tightly, "This group of people are really courageous, companion, I think I will leave this matter to you."

"As for the Duke of England, I think you should go back first, clean up your Duke's residence first, and see if anything has been robbed, then write me a note, and I will make up for you when the time comes Yes." Although Chongzhen said this to Zhang Zhiji, his eyes revealed disdain and anger.

If it is not the British government, but a family that has been passed down for more than 200 years, and Zhang Zhiji contributed a lot when Chongzhen ascended the throne, just because of the moment he scolded Cao Huachun just now, Chongzhen did not want to pay attention to Zhang Zhiji .

Zhang Zhiji looked at Chongzhen with helplessness and pain on his face.

From the beginning to the end, he didn't know what was going on.

After all, Zhang Zhiji didn't know that Zhang Shize owed Daming Bank money.

How could Zhang Zhiji accept such a disaster for no reason?
"Thank you, minister!" Zhang Zhiji knelt weakly and whispered to Chongzhen, and then led Zhang Shize outside.

Zhang Shize followed behind Zhang Zhiji without saying a word.

At this time, his heart was already panicked. In all likelihood, this group of people came to collect debts.

After all, I have been here for a while, except for the money owed to the bank, I have never provoked anyone else.

And no one else in the British government has offended anyone recently.

When Zhang Zhiji led Zhang Shize back to the British residence, Zhang Zhiji looked at the almost ruined British residence, and spurted out a mouthful of old blood.

"It's a crime, it's simply a crime, who the hell wants to deal with my British government like this?"

Zhang Zhiji walked into the front yard, saw the scattered debris everywhere and the collapsed door wall, and instantly became furious.

Zhang Zhiji's eyes were scarlet, and his body was trembling unceasingly. If Zhang Shize hadn't hurriedly supported him, Zhang Zhiji probably wouldn't even be able to stand still.

Zhang Shize supported Zhang Zhiji, and walked slowly towards the inside.

Zhang Zhiji walked to the backyard, and when he saw the stripped naked man hanging upside down on the door, he couldn't help it anymore.

He pointed at those people, spurted out a mouthful of old blood, and passed out.

"Put these people down quickly, and get some hot water quickly. By the way, clean up the whole mansion!" Zhang Shize looked at the fainted Zhang Zhiji, and hurriedly yelled at the servant behind him.

Everyone hurriedly carried Zhang Zhiji who had fainted to a bed in a room that was still intact, and covered him with a quilt.

The quilt on Zhang Zhiji's body was picked up from a collapsed house, and it was covered with dust and cracks.

When night fell, Zhang Zhiji also woke up slowly under the service of everyone.

Zhang Zhiji opened his eyes, looked at the people around him, and said in a weak tone: "What is going on? What is the origin of this group of people? Why do they treat my British government like this? My British government When did the government provoke them?"

A middle-aged woman surrounded by Zhang Zhiji looked at Zhang Zhiji with a sad face, and said slowly: "This group of people said that our British government owed them tens of thousands of taels of silver and did not pay them back. Billed."

When Zhang Zhiji heard this, he immediately became angry, "Why do you not pay back the money owed? When did my British government not pay back the money owed to others? It has always been the money owed to my British government. Ever owed money to others? This is slander, blatant slander."

The middle-aged woman looked at Zhang Zhiji, then at Zhang Shize, and said slowly: "Grandpa, this matter seems to be related to the young man, why don't you ask him."

When Zhao Wen left, he explained to these people the reason for coming to rob the British government.

Zhang Shize looked at the woman with a flustered expression, "I said, Sanniang, why are you spitting blood? What does this matter have to do with me? I don't even know where these people come from. Don't talk about it." Get on me."

This middle-aged woman is the daughter-in-law of Zhang Zhiji's third brother, Zhang Shize's third wife.

When Zhang Zhiji heard this, he pondered for a while, and after a while, he pointed at Zhang Shize and cursed, "I finally understand what's going on. It turns out that the person who came to the British government to ask for a bill was not here to cheat money." , but you owe others money.

At that time, you told me that these people were blackmailing my British government, but I didn't expect it to be true.What the hell is going on here?You tell me clearly! "

"Father, this matter has nothing to do with me at all, it must be the slander of this group of people." Zhang Shize said in panic.

Zhang Zhiji sneered twice, "Take me out and beat him to death. The 200-year-old foundation of my British government has been destroyed in the hands of this little bastard. The family is unfortunate."

"Father, please forgive me!"

Zhang Shize looked at the servant who was coming towards him, turned around and ran away hastily.

But how could a pampered playboy run past these servants?
After a few breaths, Zhang Shize was pinned to the ground by his servants and tied up with a rope.

Zhang Zhiji stood up with the support of several servants. He pointed to Zhang Shize who was tied up, and said angrily, "Hang me on the beam of the house, and beat me hard with a shovel!"

……

When the news spread that the British government was robbed, the entire capital was in an uproar.

Xungui, like the British Duke, became nervous for a moment without knowing the reason.For a time, almost all the nobles in the capital closed their doors tightly every day, and even kept recruiting servants in the capital, or getting a group of soldiers from the capital camp, and patrolling the mansion non-stop .

As for the civil servants in the court who have always been uncomfortable with these nobles, they competed to celebrate with each other.

And the branch office of the Ming Pao in the capital also seized this great opportunity, and the headlines on the front page for several days in a row were talking about this matter.

In an instant, Da Ming Pao pushed the heat of this matter to the peak.

Under the explanation of Da Ming Pao, everyone in the capital understood the whole story of the robbery of the British government.

At the same time, the reputation of Daming Bank in the capital became more and more popular.

For a while, countless people who had the idea of ​​not wanting to pay back the money gave up this idea.

It's a joke, people even dare to rob the British government, are they afraid of other people?
"It turned out that the British government didn't pay back the money owed to the bank. Let me just say, how could the British government be robbed for no reason."

Chongzhen sat in the imperial study, holding a newspaper, heaved a sigh of relief, and said slowly.

"But this Daming Bank is too arrogant, no matter what, this British prince is a nobleman of the imperial court. If they do this, what is the majesty of the imperial court?" Chongzhen put down the Daming Newspaper in his hand, and looked at Cao Huachun beside him.

Ever since the Da Ming Pao came out of the capital, Chongzhen also fell in love with the Da Ming Pao.

This Ming Pao not only occasionally publishes important news about politicians, but also some folk tales and ghost stories, and there are also serialized novels.

When you have nothing to do on weekdays, you can read newspapers to pass the time.

Cao Huachun looked at Chongzhen, and explained in a slow voice: "Your Majesty, I don't know the origin of this Daming Bank, but this business is all about integrity. It is always immoral for the British government to borrow money from others and not return it. matter."

"That being said, we have to investigate this matter, otherwise we won't be able to explain to these nobles. In the past few days, I have received countless papers requesting a strict investigation.

How about this, I order you to thoroughly investigate the details of this Daming Bank, I want to know the origin of this Daming Bank.

What kind of person can be so unscrupulous in the capital.By the way, you have to reprimand the British government. If they didn't owe others money and didn't pay it back, how could such a thing happen? "

Chongzhen looked at Cao Huachun, pinched his chin, and said in thought.

"Observe the order!" Cao Huachun bowed to Chongzhen, and then walked outside.

When Zhao Wen returned to Xuan Town with the looted things, he found Zhang Helang, who was in charge of the financial house.

Zhao Wen looked at Zhang Helang standing in front of him, and said slowly, "Where are our Daming Banks established now?"

Zhang Helang said: "My lord, almost every important city in northern Daming has our Daming Bank.

And our Daming Bank has begun to develop towards the south. "

Zhao Wen nodded, and said slowly: "After this incident, the influence of Daming Bank will probably be raised to a higher level. Have you minted the silver coins that you were asked to mint last time?"

"My lord, it's already been cast. It's just that it hasn't been released yet."

Zhao Wen nodded, and then said: "Now is a good time to issue silver coins. Now you can put some of the minted silver coins outside, let's see the effect first."
