Water Margin farming to become powerful

Chapter 363 Eunuch Du Introduces Blackmail Law
Sun Xin tidied up his clothes and hurried down the hill with Jiang Jing. When they came to the city wall, they saw a luxurious team.

Three beautiful carriages and a baggage cart were so full of goods that there were ruts on the ground, a dozen miserable migrant workers were squatting beside the road in the snow and ice, two servants were serving an eunuch, and that Under the eunuch, there were three officials-like figures who kept talking to the eunuch to relieve boredom.

Sun Xin took a look at Du Cai. Du Cai didn't look feminine, on the contrary, he was quite handsome, with no beard under his chin. He was in his early twenties, with shrewd eyes and a strong body. He probably entered the palace when he was young.

Sun Xinying stepped forward to introduce him, and Du Cai looked at Sun Xin curiously.

He originally thought that the author who could exchange letters with Zhao Ji and write "The Resurrection of Chuan Xiaolang in the Tang Dynasty" should be a middle-aged man in his 50s or [-]s, but Sun Xin in front of him is not very handsome, but he is also heroic. Vigorous, especially when he is tall and looks like a warrior, but he is actually younger than him, in his early twenties at most.

Facing Sun Xin, Du Cai didn't hold up too high a shelf, patted the leather jacket covering his legs and stood up with a smile: "I don't want Mr. Sun to be so young and promising."

"Inspector Du has worked hard on the road."

Du Cai's face changed slightly, and he said to Sun Xin, "Just call me Du Cai."

Sun Xin realized in an instant that the eunuchs didn't like people calling him special, so he nodded and said, "I see, Mr. Du has worked hard for you, so go sit in the tent first."

Du Cai nodded, and the three servants under him asked the peasants to start moving things down from the car, they were all household utensils such as washbasins and clothes, and asked Sun Xin where the barracks they lived in were .

When he heard that Sun Xin had come from Dengzhou to Qinzhou to defend the city, Du Cai was naturally surprised at first, and then showed a proper look of admiration.

After a few conversations, Sun Xin understood that this fellow was definitely not an idiot.

As soon as he heard that Sun Xin and the others lived outside Qingzhou City, Du Cai took the initiative to say that he would live in the barracks with the soldiers first, discuss the details with Sun Xin before leaving, and don't rush to Dengzhou. Not so greedy for enjoyment.

Walking all the way up the mountain, Du Cai took the initiative to smile and said: "I have heard about the method of issuing banknotes, Mr. Sun, and thought about it along the way, and I feel that this is really a fantastic idea."

"If this banknote can be used in the whole Dengzhou and even in the third Dongfu, I don't know how big the benefits will be."

"This time the officials attach so much importance to it, we can rest assured in our actions. I will also cooperate with Mr. Sun Xinzhuang and you two. We are all here for money, and we have no other motives."

He smiled and pointed to his subordinates: "The three people I brought this time are all capable people in the West City Institute, and it is the best to search for one of the various activities."

"Send them to various checkpoints to search for vendors, or let them go to various checkpoints to open money exchange offices, or ask them to promote banknotes between villages, and it will definitely help Sun Zhuangzhu. Banknotes are widely issued!"

Jiang Jing was taken aback when he heard that, according to Du Cai's idea, he basically went to the countryside and among the vendors to forcefully distribute the money.

If checkpoints are set up on the commercial roads and Zhao Ji's identity is used to forcibly promote banknotes to all merchants, this will definitely make many merchants afraid to come to Dengzhou to do business.

This is also completely inconsistent with the original intention of the Bank of the Supervisory Committee. The purpose of the Bank of Supervisory Committee is to promote the commercial prosperity of the enterprises under the jurisdiction of the Supervisory Committee. .

What's more, Du Cai still wants to go to the countryside to share among the rural people, and exchange their copper coins and silver into banknotes. Maybe it is possible to stir up civil uprisings.

What's more, the paper circulation of the Bank of the Supervisory Committee is determined by the Supervisory Committee through discussion, and cannot be issued at will. If the secret method is to expand the use of banknotes as much as possible, the direct result is that Sun Xin has repeatedly emphasized at the chamber of commerce. Inflation and the excessive circulation of banknotes caused the value of banknotes in the market to plummet, which would directly destroy the reputation of banknotes, and even collapse the Bank of Supervisors and the entire Supervisory Council system.

As soon as Jiang Jing heard it, he knew that Du Cai's approach would definitely cause problems, but he didn't know what Sun Xin thought when facing the eunuch in front of him. He knew that Sun Xin attached great importance to the relationship with the official family, and he didn't dare to directly talk to the eunuch sent by the Zhao official family. contradict.

He quickly looked at Sun Xin, begging him to speak in his eyes.

Sun Xin smiled, gave Jiang Jing a reassuring look, and didn't say much, but first took Du Cai into the tent for discussion.

While ordering the farmer to arrange a place for Du Cai and others to live, Sun Xin asked the farmer who was serving him to serve tea to everyone, set up a brazier in the tent, and asked Du Cai to sit down first.

Du Cai was quite satisfied with Sun Xin's hospitality. He felt that Sun Xin was also a person who knew how to wink. He was most afraid that Sun Xin was a literati who was in harmony with the government and completely opposed his plan. Grades are not easy.

Du Cai sat down with his teacup in his hand, and said with a smile, "Master Sun doesn't need to be so polite, let's talk about things."

"Alright."

Sun Xin then turned to Jiang Jing and said, "Brother Jiang, please show Duke Du the regulations you wrote."

Jiang Jing glanced at Sun Xin uncertainly, saw him smiling and nodding, so he gritted his teeth and gave Du Cai the introduction charter for the next stage of supervision and management of Hui Bank that he had sorted out in the past two days.

Du Cai's eunuchs from Xicheng are generally educated, and they are very capable of reading this kind of report. He took the report and glanced at it, and found that the format of the report written according to the requirements of Sun Xin's descendants was a bit strange. It went well, so I didn't say much, just regarded it as a special reporting method for businessmen in Dongsan Prefecture, and watched it silently.

But the more you look at Du Cai's eyebrows, the tighter they are.

He found that the supervisory bank's operation method seemed to be not just to make money, but to act cautiously, which seemed to be very inconsistent with his philosophy.

Du Cai had some bad feelings in his heart.

Du Cai's face finally changed when he saw that the main task of the next stage was not to expand the amount of money issued, but to strengthen the assets of the Bank of Supervisors, clear bad debts, and even prepare to reduce the amount of money issued and loans.

"I'm afraid this report is not good, right? Why is it so lukewarm? You know that there are official shares in it. I think Jiang Jing, you might as well write a new one!"

Du Cai directly threw the report back on the table, not saying Sun Xin's fault, but saying that it was Jiang Jing's poor writing. Jiang Jing was sweating instantly, wanted to speak but didn't dare to open her mouth, and looked at Sun Xin who was beside her. Xin, I saw that Sun Xin didn't seem to understand the meaning of Du Cai's words, and he was drinking tea there as if the matter really had nothing to do with him.

Jiang Jing understood that Sun Xin was asking him to stand up for a while, so he respectfully smiled and said, "I don't know what Mr. Du thinks is not satisfactory?"

"How can you do business like this? Put aside the money you can earn and don't earn it, what are you doing? Do you think you are a government? Even the government doesn't look like you who don't know how to make progress!"

Du Cai pointed to the item in the articles of association to reduce the loan amount and said, "You made so much money lending in the past two months, why don't you make money this month?"

Jiang Jing explained: "There are already some bad debts in the Bank of the Board of Supervisors. Those people have not settled their accounts and ruined their property, and our money will not be recovered. If there are more loans, it will not benefit the bank's operation."

"If Duke Du has any doubts about the specific situation, I can write the detailed figures to Duke Du."

Du Cai frowned more and more. Looking at Sun Xin, Du Cai saw his smiling face, and then suddenly realized that Sun Xin in front of him was not as talkative as he thought just now. Instead, he sent Jiang Jing out to talk to Sun Xin. He is awesome.

Du Cai suddenly felt troubled in his chest. This was what he was most afraid of. If Sun Xin didn't cooperate with him, how could he make political achievements for the officials to see?

Why does he care about whether the loan recipients of the supervisory board bank can pay back the money?Can't you sell your sons and daughters and wives if you don't pay the money?How did their Xicheng office earn so much money?

Since Sun Xin didn't cooperate here, he was tougher than Sun Xin.

Considering the relationship between Sun Xin and the officials, Du Cai could not directly refute his face, so he said eccentrically: "Master Sun, I think you, brother of the Jiang family, don't know much about business. Find someone who can do it."

"The three people I brought with me are all for money, why don't we let the brother of the Jiang family hand over the project figures and let the three of us go up."

Jiang Jin was so angry and angry in an instant, Du Cai actually wanted to change him?This eggless thing is really black-hearted!
Du Cai said this specifically to provoke Sun Xin, but after he finished speaking, he saw that Jiang Jing was angry with Sun Xin but he didn't look angry at all, and said calmly: "This brother Jiang is a good brother under my subordinates. He must not be replaced."

Du Cai chuckled, looked at Sun Xin and said, "Master Sun would rather not have a future?"

Sun Xin nodded: "Brotherhood is naturally more important than money."

Du Cai was furious: "You, good!"

Sun Xin shook his head and said with a smile: "And I'm afraid my future is not bad. In just one month, the Supervisory Exchange Bank run by my brother has already sent [-] guan in silver to the officials."

"Du Gong said to change people, but he didn't know that my brother is very famous. If you change people, the supervisory committee bank may not be able to operate at all. It will be delayed for a day. There are dozens of people in this official family. loss of money."

As soon as this remark came out, Du Cai's eyes widened instantly. Unexpectedly, Sun Xin would threaten his business with him.

"Du Gong insists on changing people, and I can't stop here. Since he is sent by the government, Du Gong's words are naturally reasonable."

"It's just a forced replacement. If the Bank of the Supervisory Committee accidentally disbanded, I don't know how Du Gong will explain it to the officials."
