Lu Lingxiu then talked about the current situation at home.
After her brother Lu Zhao came back from the North, it seemed that the Sixth Prince knew that he had an old relationship with Su Luoyun and sent him to Gueyiyuan.
It was a blessing in disguise. He just escaped this disaster and was not caught as a confidant of the Sixth Prince.However, because of the old relationship with the Hengshan Palace, the job at Queyi Yuan could no longer be maintained, so like Lu Ying, he followed his father in business.
From Lu Lingxiu's mouth, Su Luoyun heard many new things.
After all, the Lu family's business is still there. Nowadays, the capital is in dire straits. Many shops have started doing business before their storefronts have been repaired. The same is true for the Lu family.
When Lingxiu was talking about the money turnover at home, she accidentally mentioned Maoxiang Bank.
Due to the turnover of business, the old man of the Lu family had to exchange some silver notes.However, after visiting several nearby states and counties, the bankers all said that due to the previous war, the bank's bank vaults had moved the money away, and that shipping restrictions would have to be lifted before the money could be transported back, allowing him to come back in a few days.
When Lu Lingxiu talked about this, she originally wanted to ask Luo Yun when the shipping ban in the North would be lifted.
Without money to exchange, many transactions in Lu's shop will come to a standstill.
After hearing this, Luo Yun thought: If there is a war, it would be understandable for the bank to close its doors.
But now all kinds of businesses are waiting for prosperity, and many shops have begun to open one after another.But this bank cannot pay out money because of poor cash flow, which is simply unbelievable.
You must know that even during the month of war, the business of Maoxiang Bank was still open. At least when King Dongping was short of money, he could go to Maoxiang Bank to receive money at any time.
Moreover, King Dongping also sent soldiers to guard the money shop to prevent refugees from robbing.
At that time, there was an endless supply of money in the bank. Why was it that when the world was settling down, there was no money left?
And when was shipping in the Northland closed?That bank clerk is just talking nonsense!
Luo Yun narrowed his eyes slightly as he listened.
Suddenly she had a flash of inspiration, and she thought that maybe the wandering God of Wealth had noticed something was wrong and was ready to take the money and run away at any time.
After sending Lu Lingxiu away, Luoyun quickly went to the study to find Han Linfeng and told him about the matter.
Han Linfeng pondered for a moment after hearing this. In fact, he had been sending people to keep an eye on Youshanyue.
When Lao Cui sent him a letter, revealing the truth about You Shanyue's duplicity and double-dealing, he placed spies at the nearby Maoxiang Bank.
However, the old man continued to go fishing in the mountains as usual, and there was nothing unusual.After all, he didn't fall out with Han Linfeng. No matter what, he was still the hero who funded the Iron Mask Army in the first place.
But Luoyun's analysis makes sense.The bank suddenly closed its doors for some reason, and there were indeed signs that it was about to withdraw.
It was beyond his expectation that You Shanyue was so alert and wanted to escape so early.
Because just yesterday, You Shanyue's letter was delivered to the capital, congratulating the prince on achieving his wish and supporting his father as emperor.
Moreover, in the letter, the old man also expressed his feelings to Han Linfeng, saying that he would continue to support the prince and achieve great achievements in his ascension to the throne.
Thinking of the old man's frivolous remarks to Luoyun and his double-dealing with him, Han Linfeng's face tightened and he was ready to send people to outflank him overnight and pin the fat rat into the pot.
But Luo Yun said: "Maoxiang money shops are opening all over the place, and many merchants have stored most of their wealth in money shops. It is easy to catch that old man. He is in his dying years, but he is not afraid of death. If the jar is broken, it will be hidden."Hiding the family property and causing the bankruptcies of various places to go bankrupt will probably cause an uproar among the people.It is all because the people are short of food and clothing.Now that the emperor has just ascended the throne and his great achievements have been completed, we cannot cause such a big chaos."
She was born as a merchant, so she naturally knew the importance of this bank.
Since You Shanyue attracted her attention, she also sent many old clerks at the counter to investigate, and gradually discovered that You Shanyue not only controlled the bank, but also river transportation, salt sales, and other things, which were all related to people's livelihood.
Luo Yun didn't know much about governing the country, but she still remembered the book Han Linfeng had read to her when she was blind. There was a saying in it that "governing a big country is like cooking a small fish." She had to be careful, just like turning fish, so as not to break the fish.
When she was young, she was in the market and saw some banks going bankrupt and killing small businessmen.
Although You Shanyue has always been hidden behind the scenes, he actually controlled the money and lifeblood of half of the country in the Wei Dynasty. Such a bumpy situation would hurt the people the most, so it had to be dealt with carefully.
Although rats are fat, they have hijacked people's livelihood, so we have to be more cautious about rats.
Han Linfeng listened to Luoyun's soft analysis and pondered for a long time.
In terms of money, the staff under his command may not be as knowledgeable about money and accounts as the Crown Princess, so Luo Yun's worries are not unfounded. Instead, as she said, he should be cautious in handling You Shanyue.
"Then what do you think we should do with this cunning fat rat?"
Luo Yun thought for a while and said: "He is good at managing connections, and he must have spies in all the major government offices. It must have been beyond his expectation that King Dongping was destroyed so quickly. The old gambler was panicked, fearing that he would lose everything. In this case, we have to give him a bright card, hook him, and prevent him from playing at the gambling table."
Speaking of this, Luoyun thought for a while and said firmly: "Not only can we not neglect You Shanyue and severely punish him, we must also reward him heavily, and we must reward him sincerely. Beat the gongs and drums and tell the world!"
After hearing what she said, Han Linfeng understood immediately.
A sober rat is difficult to catch, but a full-fed rat thrown into a rice vat will turn its belly and not even know it is running away!
Thinking of this, Han Linfeng snorted coldly: "I have all the letters between him and the rebel king. Collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country, intending to commit rebellion, will inevitably lead to death. But a merchant has evil intentions and wants to subvert the imperial court. If such a person is allowed to run away, there will probably be chaos. But doesn't he know that his deeds will be exposed and he will easily fall into a trap?"
Luo Yun thought about You Shanyue's character and said softly: "Although he is old and very shrewd, he still has a rough and tumble heart - he holds grudges, retaliates, and likes to be flattered. He will spend the rest of his life.To cleanse oneself of the evil background and long to be affirmed by the right way, as long as you grasp his shortcomings, the rest will be easy to deal with.You must catch such a fat rat by surprise, and you must not waste a drop of oil..."
Now is the time when the national treasury is empty, and the rip-offs of those aristocratic families cannot be taken away for the time being.
