"return?"
Zhu Tai had a look of pain on his face, but he said: "It's not a matter of paying it back now."
"What's the problem?"
Lin Bai said in surprise.
This is all your own fault. To be precise, it was Lao Zhu’s fault. Xiao Qi was evacuated, Xiao Buyi and others were also forced to leave, even Xiao Wu was transferred, and all the Commerce Department was left. A bunch of half-baked stuff.
These people themselves do not know the exchange deeply enough, and the consequences are not very clear.
I really thought that the exchange was the chicken that laid golden eggs, and I could claim unlimited amounts.
Nothing is so cheap. Sooner or later, you will have to pay it back.
Now that the people have been hollowed out, there can be no thunderstorms.
It’s time to behead everyone, it’s time to raid homes! We can still do it.
A group of great talents are calm. Anyway, this is not his fault, it is none of his business.
Zhu Tai said: "Because the impact is too great, even if you kill corrupt officials, you can't make up for these losses. My uncle said that the second brother gathered some officials to prepare for your majesty to allocate funds for the construction of Ezhou New City to stabilize the stockholders for the time being..."
grass!
Lin Bai almost cursed, and couldn't hold himself together.
Those bastards in the court really don't have any good ideas, and they actually want to use Ezhou New City's funds to support the market? Mmp, these gang of lords who eat people without spitting out their bones are so awesome!
There is no money left in Ezhou New City. It has long been a mess. The so-called money came from Zhu Tai auctioning some new city projects owned by the Ministry of Commerce to southwest businessmen after he took over the new city.
And this blood may not be enough to make up for the workers' wages.
The talented man saw that Ezhou New City was in difficulty now, so he did not mention the wages for the time being, and let Ezhou New City get on the right track first, and then talk about it later.
Fortunately, he was targeted by those bastards in the court.
"This is simply unreasonable. This is all my king's money. Who dares to touch it!"
The talented man went crazy, and Zhu Tai was a little trembling.
He said solemnly: "When the news came, those officials had not made a formal proposal, but according to the current situation, it is probably very suspenseful. As the news fermented, the movement became louder and louder, and most of the officials in the court were trapped. It is related to their own Benefit……"
Except for the people of Ezhou and some people who care about what will happen to Ezhou New City, no one else cares at all.
The same goes for the officials in the court.
At the very least, it is not worth mentioning compared to their own interests.
These officials are trapped and just want to get rid of the trap and transfer funds from Ezhou to relieve the trap. As for what happens to Ezhou, it has nothing to do with them.
The key is that countless people are involved, and they can confidently say that they are thinking of the people.
Faced with such a situation, Lao Zhu might as well...
No wonder Zhu Tai is so anxious.
Lin Bai glanced at him and said, "Tell me honestly, how big is Lei in the Ministry of Commerce?"
Zhu Tai naturally didn't understand what thunder was, but the general meaning was clear.
He hesitated and said: "Ju...I don't know the specifics. During this period, the imperial court has launched many projects to suppress the southwest, but all ended in failure. However, the money was not spent at all. I am short here, because there is no way to intervene." If only a few people join the Ministry of Commerce, it will only cost more than 10 million."
"The really powerful ones are Lao Er and the others..."
Good guy!
Even if it is small, it is more than 10 million! Including the people who handle it up and down, 20 million people may not be able to escape.
This is Zhu Tai who still can't get help, let alone Zhu Kun, which will definitely double.
There are also so many people hiding behind it, and as Zhu Tai said, the shortfall in many projects undertaken by the imperial court is probably immeasurable. This is definitely a huge hole.
I'm afraid all the people's money has been drained away.
Lao Zhu, the emperor, is simply...
Lin Bai was unable to complain.
Wasn't he very wise before?
Could it be that wanting to destroy yourself has gone to your head? Or is it a new thing like the exchange that you can’t play at all?
Thinking about it carefully, it seems that there are really not many useful people around Lao Zhu. His father-in-law has resigned, the left and right ministers have been vacant, and the princes are fighting openly and secretly.
Now such a huge scandal has been revealed.
You know, this is not just a matter of money, but also a matter of people's confidence.
It's like a bank run.
Not to mention banks. Although banks do not have that much cash flow, the assets are there, and the money is lent out, perhaps invested in major industries, and continues to produce output. The Ministry of Commerce is different. It is a bunch of junk stocks that cheat money. An empty shell that explodes when touched.
Those officials in the imperial court wanted to mobilize funds from Ezhou to rescue the market.
This is just like when the Su family was in crisis and Sihai Qianzhuang came out with 200,000 taels.
But the vacancy in the Su family was only 100,000 taels, and Sihai Bank brought 200,000 taels, which naturally easily dispelled the debtor's concerns.
But the situation on the exchange is different. No amount of money may be of use.
Not to mention, the officials in the court are waiting to get away, which makes it even more impossible.
How does this end?
Even great talents feel headaches. If he is like this, others can imagine.
At this moment, in the Jinluan Palace.
Zhu Tian's face turned livid, and Ezhou stabilized himself, which made him feel a little relieved. As a result, something happened to the exchange again, and the commotion was getting louder and louder than expected.
Although he had known it for a long time, he didn't expect to reveal it so quickly.
Subconsciously, he glanced at Zhu Kun, his eyes cold.
Zhu Kun's heart skipped a beat and his face turned blue.
"Your Majesty, the exchange has been besieged, as well as the government offices in Beijing, and countless people are asking the imperial court to make decisions for them."
"The Ministry of Commerce's inaction has resulted in huge losses and must be severely punished."
"I agree that the Ministry of Commerce colludes with businessmen to issue junk stocks to make money, and spends the hard-earned money of investors wantonly. Now all the stocks in the hands of ordinary people have become waste paper. Such behavior is simply unacceptable."
"That's right! Your Majesty, please make the decision for the people!"
"..."
The sounds coming from above the court were more intense than before.
After all, it is related to vital interests. Not to mention all the people standing in this court, at least 80% are more or less trapped.
Just because when the exchange was first established, many people made a lot of money, leading to countless followers.
These officials are no exception, they are officials! There are some problems with the source of money. If you keep it at home, you are afraid of being copied at any time, but it is completely different in the stock market. Stocks can be traded at any time and you can make money. For them, it is an excellent place.
But now, the exchange has gone crazy, and all the stocks in their hands have turned into waste paper.
One can imagine.
Each one of them has become a good official who prays for the people, and they all give advice.
Zhu Tianzheng said with a gloomy face: "How is the investigation by the relevant personnel from the Criminal Department and the Commercial Department going?"
Sun Yanqing, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment, walked out quickly and said, "Your Majesty, the relevant personnel have been detained, but the amount of silver seized is only more than one million taels, which is a huge difference from the book."
"How is it possible that it's just this little? The Ministry of Commerce has embezzled an unknown amount of money. Your Majesty, please investigate thoroughly!"
"There are also businessmen who colluded with the Ministry of Commerce, and all their money was divided by them. They must be arrested and brought to justice to seek justice for the people."
"..."
The huge court hall was like a vegetable market, and all the officials were filled with indignation.
"enough!"
Zhu Tianzheng scolded angrily, and then looked at Sun Yanqing, "How much money did the Ministry of Commerce lose?"
…
