Chapter 60: Forced to Bow Down (Part 1)
Newsprint? The Pang family and his son looked at each other. If they were afraid of King Qing, they could barely understand the newsprint. They would not understand at all. According to the matter, it was just a piece of broken paper worth dozens of copper coins per portion. What's so scary?
Pang Delu shook his head, "You don't understand. On weekdays, we are not afraid of the Ten Princess, but this time we have occupied the truth, why aren't I afraid? Zhao Guanhou is not simple, he uses a two-pronged approach. Even if there is no Ten Princess, you can't afford to offend this newsprint. Do you know how powerful this axiom is? Master Cape knows this and directly found the General Office of Affairs of various countries, saying that such a thing happened to our Great Jin Kingdom.
You can even lose all the guests as things, which shows that you have no credit and doubt our sincerity in repaying the loan. This incident happened all the way to Lord Lafite, and Lord Lafite has seen this newspaper! If I hadn't been a little too proud of my face in front of Long Sui, and Master Zhen pleaded with him, Lord Lafite would have sent me off on the spot. It's not that the Meng family's things cannot be taken, but that they have to figure out how many backers they have, how many heads do you have to provoke such people who can talk to foreigners?"
Jin Guo issued Zhaoxin shares for the reparation of Goryeo. However, problems arose shortly after the stock issuance. Some people started to short Zhaoxin and sold at an extremely low price. Originally, Jin Guo's reputation was not very good. In addition, this incident, merchants lost trust in the stocks and the stock price fell all the way. Now Zhaoxin stocks can only be sold at 30% off. There are few buyers, so they are more waiting and watching. The idea of paying off debts with stocks is basically bankrupt.
The people who make trouble here are probably the people of Fusang. They don’t want the Jin Kingdom to raise funds themselves, but they are better off borrowing from the Fusang Bank. But knowing who is doing it does not mean there is a way to solve it. If the Jin Kingdom wants to pay the compensation, it is necessary to borrow foreign debts.
Apart from this, there are many places where there are training troops, raising funds, building roads, and borrowing. The Jin Dynasty borrowed debts mostly used mining taxes, salt taxes and other taxes as collateral. As soon as the Five Ochimist Bead incident was reported, the ministers of various countries took the opportunity to express their concern about the reputation of the Jin Dynasty, and the lending was extremely difficult.
If the emperor wants to monopolize power as soon as possible, he will definitely need money. If he wants money, he will have to borrow money. If he fails to trust foreigners, it will not only be difficult to borrow the money, but the previous money will also be required to be returned and investigated. Foreign debts have always been the way for the big bosses in the capital. Whenever foreign debts are borrowed, all officials will embezzle them. Once the matter is serious and the matter involves the entire capital, it will be an irreversible situation.
Pang Jinbiao and his son looked at each other, and no one expected that a mere newsprint would cause such a big problem. Pang Delu sighed again, "Now, Master Long Live is trying to get a new policy and implement a new law. At this time, if you make such a thing, you are hitting the knife by yourself. Do you think you have a long life?"
When the Great Jin Dynasty reached Emperor Tianyou, it was no longer a big deal. Although the revival ministers like Zhang Hefei were released, the country's power was still declining day by day. The new army, which had spent a lot of money, could only give the Japanese people faster. For Emperor Tianyou, who was devoted to governing and wanted to be the hero, it was a blow.
In the palace, although the empress dowager was his aunt, the relationship between the two was not harmonious. He did not like the empress dowager who chose him, and the empress dowager did not like the woman he liked. The relationship between the mother and son was also very embarrassing. Even the emperor went to greet the empress dowager, and every time he gave the eunuch fifty taels of silver to the empress dowager. Otherwise, he would be cursed by the eunuch and scolded by the empress dowager for several days.
Emperor Tianyou, who was in trouble with internal and external affairs, wanted to do something. In Beijing, there was a talented man Kang Zuyikang and his disciple Liang Rengong in Beijing to protect the parliament. It was very popular. He also wrote a book to write a statement, taking the Fusang Reform as an example, with the intention to carry out reforms in the Great Jin Dynasty.
This book has fallen into the hands of Emperor Tianyou. It is said that he placed the book on his desk and must read it every day. He was obviously moved by the contents and wanted to imitate Fusang and carry out reform and reform.
"Although Long Live has taken charge of the rule now, all the major events are in the hands of the Queen Mother. If Long Live wants to reform, it is in vain. If the Queen Mother refuses to nod. Do you think I want this five-ord bead, really for yourself? I'm confused! I'm looking for a few treasures to give to Long Live, and then let Long Live give to the Lord of Buddha! The Lord of Buddha is old and wants to delegate power a little bit. Now it's a good treasure and curious thing. If this bead really makes the Lord of Buddha happy, maybe the reform will be done."
Pang Delu looked at Pang Jinbiao and his son with a look of regret. He looked at Pang Jinbiao and his son, "To be honest, I don't know what reform is, but as a servant, you must understand a little bit. The master is happy, which is more important than anything else. If you want to reform, we have to let him do things. Long live it and become a thing, and we will not forget my contribution. Do you think that at that time, we are still worried about money and women? Taoist priest Gao from Tai Chi Palace in Beijing was able to speak in front of the empress dowager. He sold a salt tea ceremony in one sentence and lost 20,000 yuan in silver! When Long live the law and the empress dowager handed over the power, our family is the number one celebrity in front of Long live. 20,000 taels. Why can't I make money? But all this was ruined by you!"
He glanced at the two of them, "The Pi Ni Li in the palace is wrong with me, you all know. This time, the tenth princess told her father directly about this matter, and her father told Pi Ni Li again. In addition, the envoy Cape also came out to make trouble. He caught it and made a real trouble in the palace. He went to the empress dowager and said that Long Sui was unknown to employ people, so he told the empress dowager not to delegate power. He also blamed Master Zhen for saying that the bead was loved by Master Zhen, and insisted that the bead was loved by Master Zhen. Long Sui finally saw the light and was about to be lost again. In anger, he almost killed my life. Tell me, why did you make the matter like this!"
The Pi Ni Li he mentioned was Li Lianying, the eunuch in charge of the empress dowager. He was the first-class person to hide his luxury in the current Dajin Jin Dynasty. Although he was a eunuch, he was more powerful than the civil and military ministers in the court. However, he and Pang Delu were not very compatible, and they fought openly and secretly, and had stumbled against each other several times. This time, such a big handle fell into Li Lianying's hands. He thought about it and knew that Pang Delu would not have a good life.
Pang Yutang looked ashamed, "Grandpa, this is a child, it's not that I didn't expect the power of the newsprint to be so great. This bead?"
"Repay him! Repay it quickly! Also, you must prepare the compensation. In my opinion, Meng Siyuan can do such a big business, so he will not be a fool. He will not accept the compensation. But whether to collect it or not is his business, and whether to give it or not is our business. In short, what we should do must be done. We have done something wrong before, and we can't make any mistakes in the future. If the Ten Princess catches the handle again, I am afraid that I can't protect myself."
This time he was sent out of the palace by Emperor Tianyou to take care of the aftermath, and he had a task. If the situation could not be calmed down, he would not be able to go back and explain. If the overall situation of the reform was damaged, he had to fill it in with his own life. Therefore, no matter how much the bead was worth, he had to take it out.
He pointed to Pang Jinbiao again, "And you, the woman you like, I heard that she has a master, so that's nothing. But she is not a woman who lives at home, but a talented woman who can write articles. What kind of story does Cape have to read. Just based on your short future, dare to mess with Cape? Besides, what kind of temperament is the Lady Buddha now? She loves to watch dramas in the palace, and only loves to watch the stories of the talented man and beautiful woman. Li Lianying took the stage to stage the Taohuazhuang and said this. Lady Buddha almost treated you as the little overlord Zhou Tong, and directly handed it to the Governor of Zhili. Finally, I have a few friends in the palace. When I talked about your contribution to the country in Goryeo, the Empress Dowager said to delay the task. In short, don't mention this matter anymore, and don't think about that woman."
Pang Jinbiao turned red, and a man in his forties caused a storm over such a thing, he was naturally not very glorious. But when he thought of the fairy who appeared in front of him when he was in a coma, he couldn't help but say, "Dad, this woman didn't force her to rob her, but gave her betrothal gift..."
"That's useless! The Ten Princess has not left in Tianjin. If you still want to marry that woman, she will tell her father about this matter, and it's not a force robbery or a force robbery. Don't worry about this woman for now, let them give up the betrothal gifts, and let them put it aside. The things you are preparing to get married are sent to the Little Shoe House, and let them do this. If you do this, the Ten Princess will not be able to pursue her. Anyway, she can't stay in Tianjin for the rest of her life. The Lord Buddha will forget about this matter for three or five days."
The Pang family father and son thought that this time they were defeated, and their face would definitely be thrown on the ground and they would be trampled on by others, but after hearing Pang Delu’s words, there was obviously a deep meaning behind them and their eyes lit up again.
Pang Delu sneered, "The people of our Pang family are not so easy to bully! If you offend us, you have to wait to take our moves! If you can't fight against the wind and fight with them, it's like challenging the old Buddha. That's almost like seeking death. Let this go first, let them think we have admitted defeat, and the pawnshop should be closed, and the business should be closed. After this, a mere gangster, a woman who can write and a businessman, you will crush them to death with one finger. Are you still afraid that you can't take revenge?"
Pang Jinbiao was overjoyed when he heard this, "Dad taught me a lesson, my nephew will do it now!"
"This is just like that. The great heroes can bend and stretch. Let them have fun for a few days first. When Long Live bring the power over, the new law is implemented. I will see how they cry! Whether it is King Qing or Pi Ni Li, they will be dealt with by then!"
