Eunuch Zhao said disdainfully: "Paper is just paper, how can you make flowers?"
Wei Guogong laughed and said: "You really made flowers! The banknotes made of paper are very weird. They are not broken when rubbed or exposed to water. They are colorful and difficult to imitate! The most important thing is that he made them in front of me. They demonstrated a method on how to hollow out a gold and silver shop, but I still haven’t figured it out yet! If we start the exchange business, we will have to pay the Duke’s Mansion for half a year!”
Eunuch Zhao's eyes widened in surprise when he heard this and said, "Is it so magical?"
Eunuch Wei waved his hand and said, "I know what you want to say! We can also find craftsmen to make paper, and we can also print new banknotes, but it will take time, and he already has the finished product! Other things, well, , other things are also trivial, we can solve them! The most disgusting thing is that this guy also roped in the inner bank as a shareholder, which we can't compare with!"
When Eunuch Zhao heard that all the internal treasuries had taken a stake, he knew that he really couldn't grab this business! If you steal this business, it will be equivalent to taking money out of Emperor Wanli's pocket. That is a very unrealistic idea! So he could only say depressedly: "How many elements does the inner treasury account for?"
Duke Wei said helplessly: "Only 10%!"
Eunuch Zhao couldn't help but said: "Why does he hold so many shares? Doesn't he think he died quickly? Has he forgotten how Shen Wansan died?"
Duke Wei Guogong is no longer twirling his beard, but is actually pulling it hard! Just listen to him say: "How could this little bastard forget such a thing? So he only left himself 10% of the share! By the way, his father-in-law's family only got 30%! As for the other empty shares, he said Leave it to other people who can use it, so that the bank can be promoted to the whole Ming Dynasty as quickly as possible!"
Eunuch Zhao was stunned for a long time before he said: "This little hozen is really slippery!"
Wei Guogong sighed and said: "Forget it, let's not mention him! But if he asks you to do something, just go and tell him quickly! Also, prepare the money. In the next two days, someone will probably come to you to get the money, and you will become A shareholder of Lend Lease Bank!
Eunuch Zhao nodded with a wry smile and said, "That's natural, our family won't delay things!" It’s just that how did this little bastard convince Lord Long Live to only get one percent of the share, so that our family can’t even get more shares! "
Duke Guo of Wei laughed loudly but did not answer! As the saying goes, there is no harm without comparison. With Eunuch Zhao's comparison, Wei Guogong felt that his five-cent share was still very valuable!
Because he knew the news in advance, the shares reserved for Eunuch Zhao were two points! And this share is only valid while he is alive!
Although it seems unreasonable, Wei Guogong understands this approach. Because Eunuch Zhao is just a eunuch, after his death, his power will disappear with his death, and he will no longer bring any profits to Liansheng Bank!
And without his protection, his nephew holding two shares is like a child holding on to gold and living in the busy city. He is afraid of dying without knowing how! If I were smarter, it would be possible for me to live a wealthy life with only the gold and silver accumulated by Eunuch Zhao. If you are greedy, you will probably have nothing left!
Then the two of them discussed the details and went to have a rest. After all, they were both very old and staying up late was very painful for them.
But at this time, their opponents were not idle either, and were also actively planning to deal with it. After all, the momentum created by Liu Haojia was too great, especially the propaganda carried out in the countryside. He was simply shouting to the enemy: "We are coming!"
Those wealthy gentry people know very well where their power comes from? It’s land and population! With the help of land and patriarchal laws, they successfully blocked the imperial power in the city, achieving great success in not sending the imperial power to the countryside, and thus truly controlled most of the countryside. This was one of the reasons why they dared to challenge the imperial power!
As a result, local emperors were formed among them, and a hierarchical pyramid structure was formed according to the power they held! Those at the bottom are the small rural landowners, and those at the top are the aristocratic families!
The small landowners may occasionally show their claws to the common people, but the aristocratic families who really hold the power put their own
Pretending to be a good person who cultivates and educates the family! They are just manipulating their minions secretly to maintain their status, setting up spokespersons in the court to speak for themselves, and holding huge power to maintain their own power and position!
Just eight days after the meeting between Duke Wei and Eunuch Zhao, some people gathered in a teahouse by the West Lake.
This place should have been crowded with literati, famous prostitutes and luther players, and even storytellers telling anecdotes and ancient legends from various places. But it's unusually quiet here today! Because this teahouse has been booked today and will no longer accept foreign guests.
At this time, the first floor of the tea house was full of people, but they were divided into four distinct groups. However, it seems that their clothes are all the colors of servants, but the materials used are very elegant. It can be seen that their master must be a wealthy person! However, these people are obviously not the protagonists in the teahouse. They just gather together according to their respective circles, communicating with each other in low voices, or simply closing their eyes and saying nothing.
The four old men in the private room by the window on the second floor are the honored guests in the teahouse today. These four old men are about the same age and have similar physical appearance. Especially their temperaments are very elegant, and they look like they have read poetry and books!
The biggest difference between them is that two of them are dressed in extremely luxurious and dazzling clothes, and their accessories are priceless! The other two people were wearing very ordinary clothes. But if you look closely, you will realize that this is the extraordinary among the ordinary!
The old man sitting on the east side is one of the representatives. He was dressed like a scholar, and the blue shirt made him look a little gentle. There is a wooden hairpin stuck in the head! Anyone who knows him will know that this person is the contemporary head of the Langya Wang family. But no one knows whether they are the real Langya Wang family, they just keep calling themselves this. .
The old man on his left was wearing a Taoist priest's robe, but he did not have a Taoist priest's bun. The Taoist robe looks very ordinary, and only when the sun shines does it have a faint golden light.
As for the two people opposite them, they seemed to be completely wrapped in luxury goods. Everything from head to toe was of high quality! If ordinary people wore it, they would be laughed at as if they were nouveau riche, but these two people still looked very natural wearing it, which shows that their families must have been rich for generations! Otherwise, how could someone who has been an official for three generations understand how to dress and eat?
