At the end of May, the rain came with the summer, and the river flow was full and soared. At the backwaters, the duck catchers watched the fluffy ducklings churning for food in the water. Above, there is a shuttle between horses and horses. In the river, ships full of goods come in a line. On the dock, all kinds of goods from the entire Big 6 are stacked on the dock. Merchants from East and West 6 gather here. North and South Accents The sight of the complex, imperial language, and Middle-Arabic language together on the pier surprised the middle-aged man who had just got off a transport ship. The middle-aged man was thin and his clothes were not luxurious, but it was definitely The two rivers and lakes silk with a very good texture, the eyes are plain, and occasionally a sharp luster flashes

"Father, did we come to the wrong place, didn't we say that the prairie people were raging in Dijing and there was no human beings in the air? How could the scene in front of me be even more than I am in Longchang Port" behind the middle-aged man A young man who looks like a guard. At this moment, the young man is looking around with curiosity, with a look of interest,

"The place is right, but the scene has changed so much that people can't recognize it!"

The middle-aged man looked hesitantly and said, "If it weren’t for my own eyes, I wouldn’t believe that the vibrant land in front of me was the Dijing West Road that I passed half a year ago. There are no people in ten miles, and now, just how long ago, I almost thought that the former Dijing prosperity was reproduced again. Now I only hope that person is right, otherwise... "The voice of the middle-aged person stops Live, stop talking

"What if the empire does not see us? In the final analysis, Longchang is still in the Central Biya region." The youth saw that their father was so arrogant, and the curiosity in their eyes was much lighter. They were Zheng Zhi and Zheng from the Zheng family of Longchang Port The two fathers and sons of Dragon, although the Zheng family also has power in Longchang Port, are not considered the most powerful. Zheng Zhi knows that his Zheng family is too weak, afraid that he cannot enter the eyes of the empire, and carefully takes out a letter of introduction from his arms. , Go to a nearby store "Since it's here, just follow the person's words and ask someone to ask. At least I know how much power this so-called Imperial Bank has.

"Imperial Bank has an office on the pier. Turn left 50 meters and see a three-story house." Hearing the two people in front of me and asking the imperial bank, the owner of the shop seemed very hot, but it made Zheng Zhi was surprised once. After chatting with the boss for a while, he learned a news that shocked him.

This place is one of the largest waterway hubs of Dijing West Road. All the shops in this port belong to the Empire Bank industry. Zheng Zhi heard it secretly and took a deep breath. Although he had some expectations for the so-called Empire Bank, he also Unexpectedly, there would be such a strong, his son Zheng Long is even dull, under his eyes, there are a row of shops that can not see the side, there are more than three or four hundred,

"The entire port is owned by the Imperial Bank, so how much financial resources and industries does this Imperial Bank have..." Soon, they found the branch of the Imperial Bank on the dock,

"My name is Sun Hanli and I am the head of the Imperial Bank branch here. Is this letter of introduction yours?"

Receiving them was the person in charge of the branch who was a Central Biya named Sun Hanli. After reading the introduction letter from Zheng Zhi, Sun Hanli looked a lot warmer. After the two sides talked for a while, Sun Hanli said, "Longchang Zheng's family, I have heard before that since you received the letter of introduction, then I will openly and honestly say that for your request to borrow from the Imperial Bank, the Imperial Bank can agree, but this amount..."

"I also know that there are some irregularities. Without any collateral, I borrowed from your bank, so the loan amount only needs two thousand imperial gold." Zheng Zhi blushed and said first

"Two thousand imperial gold?" Hearing Zheng Zhi's words, Sun Hanli almost bit his tongue. He originally wanted to say one hundred thousand imperial gold coins, but did not expect the other party to only ask for two thousand imperial gold coins. . . . This even the most basic bottom line has not been reached. You know, these letters of introduction were sent by the empire to Liucheng Port. They were only issued after confirming that the other party was worth supporting. It can be said that it is hard to buy. A port, As long as a family has such an opportunity, it can be said that it is a once-in-a-lifetime chance to embrace the elephant leg of the Imperial Bank. But in the straight mouth of Zheng Zhi, the value of two thousand gold coins is still hesitant.

Sun Hanli had a feeling of crying and laughing

"If there are too many problems, a thousand dollars will do. My Zheng family suffered this time. As long as we can get through it, we will definitely return it as soon as possible."

Zheng Zhi's face changed slightly, and he looked at Sun Hanli nervously. It was obviously wrong. After seeing Sun Hanli embarrassed, he thought that his request was too high, and quickly reduced the two thousand imperial gold coins to one thousand.

This time when I came to Dijing West Road to find the Imperial Bank, it was also because of the unavoidable difficulties that Zheng Zhi proposed to borrow two thousand imperial gold coins, which was already a considerable loan. Returning south, the latest iron pouring money is too inferior. Even in the south where the war has not been affected, no one wants iron pouring money, but the government has to use this worthless iron pouring money to force purchase The materials on the market, this is naked strong buying and strong selling. As the center of southern commercial trade, Six Port City is naturally the most affected by this forced transaction.

This time, the Zheng family was affected by this

The Long family withdrew to the southwest and took away the food purchased by the Central African Republic from the empire. Therefore, the Chaotang side sent officials to the port city to buy food under the pretext of buying food to help the refugees go south. The purchased officials only used iron money to pay the bill. Whoever sells the last official will simply force the distribution of the major households, and the Wujia, as the largest household, has the sign of the family members of the court ministers. In this allocation, there is no money and one thing, but it has also won the official award list. No.1, and the Zheng family was directly pushed to the point where they had to pay more than one-third because they did not rely on it. Don’t look at the Zheng family as a rich businessman in Longchang Port. In fact, it is only based on assets, that is, one. Around 10,000 imperial gold, the refugees went south, and the food price rose. If the Zheng family completed the assigned task, they might be able to do so by selling most of the industry. At that time, the Zheng family was not far away from being swallowed by the Wu family.

"You stay first, I will report this matter immediately"

Sun Hanli hesitated, and promised Zheng Zhi to report to him as soon as possible, and sent someone to take them to a nearby inn to stay. The other party took the letter of introduction. It was not as simple as borrowing money. It even related to the empire. The bank's control of the southern six-port city, Sun Hanli, as the person in charge of this place, naturally knows that the most powerful force in the south of Longchang Port is not the Zheng family, but the Wu family, but This is exactly why the Zheng family was found

Behind the Wu family is the Diwumen Diwu valve in the Chaotang. The Wu valve has always regarded Longchang Port as its source of financial resources. Now that the empire wants to join in, it is impossible for the Wu family to agree, but Zheng The family is different. Since the Zheng family has been approved by the sent people, it proves that there is no repulsion for the empire. From the matter of opening loans to the Empire Bank, it can be seen that the other party is in trouble and the Empire Bank is completely It is to push the boat along the river, and then take the opportunity to intervene in Longchang, one of the six port cities. As long as the funds of the empire can enter Longchang, what a Wujia counts!

Sending Zheng Zhi and them away, Sun Hanli immediately boarded the carriage and disappeared in the distance

In the night, Zheng Zhi stood at the window and looked at the bright lights in the direction of the port. His eyes were full of worries. The two thousand imperial gold was not a small amount. You must know the purity of the imperial gold coins. 6 All places do not recognize the low-grade iron money of Centralbia, only the imperial gold coins, so the value of imperial gold coins is not affected by fluctuations in prices. In the Central Abia region, you can buy hard currency, Even in the black market, it only recognizes imperial gold coins. One imperial gold is enough to buy thirty so-called slaves transformed from the refugees. Such slaves signed a deed of slavery with the main family, which can be said to regard themselves as A piece of goods was completely sold to the main house, even if the main house killed it, the government will not manage it.

The Zheng family, in Longchang port, may be considered to have a head and a face, but in front of a huge empire, what is a Longchang port, what can the Zheng family do! Even this port is owned by the Imperial Bank. It can be seen that the Imperial Bank is powerful. If you are a small person like yourself, you want to borrow two thousand. It is good for the other party not to shake your face directly. The so-called report is just an excuse, tomorrow. I’m afraid I won’t even see you again. I took a chance. The next morning, Zheng Zhi and his son were in the branch of Imperial Bank. Sure enough, they didn’t see Sun Hanli. There was only one receptionist. He brought two cups of hot tea and said, “The two came It’s too early, Master Sun Hanli went to the city yesterday, I’m afraid it didn’t come that early.”

"It seems that we are too ignorant of ourselves" Zheng Zhi stood up with an ugly face, and smiled bitterly, what went to the city, but he didn't see his pretext, he was really naive, even if there is an introduction letter, what can I do, just one The letter of introduction lends money to himself, who would be so stupid, but he just believes it, really damn, came here with hundreds of miles of waterway, come and go one by one, fearing that there will be more than ten delays God, before the deadline, where to raise so much money to buy food, the Wu family would also take this opportunity to drop the well and expel the Zheng family from Longchang! "

"Please tell Master Han Hanli that his kindness is ours"

Zheng Zhi stood up and sighed, so it's meaningless to wait for the dead skin to wait. It's better to rush back immediately. Although he can't hide this time, it may be enough to keep some foundations, and it is difficult to say a little hope for Dongshan to rise again in the future.

"Your Excellency, please wait, Master Han Hanli specially told me, if the two come, you must wait for him"

"Is that true?" Zheng Zhi blinked when he heard this, didn't he leave intentionally because he was avoiding himself? If so, what would you do to stay here?

"Father, since the master Sun Hanli said, let's wait." Zheng Long also said beside him

"Okay, wait." Zheng Zhi nodded.

At this moment, Li Yuehua stood respectfully in front of a desk. A black-headed young man's eyes fell on a report about the Zheng family in Longchang. His finger lightly struck the desk. After ten seconds, the black youth Raising his hand and pressing the report on the table, he said with a condensed voice: "The people sent by the South, who value this Zheng family very seriously, think it is a great opportunity for the Imperial Bank to intervene in Six Port City. He said that the Longchang Wujia wanted to exclude the Zheng Jia, so it was deliberately so. If the Imperial Bank can lend money to the Zheng Jia to overcome the difficulties, it is equivalent to giving the Imperial Bank an outstanding publicity in Liugang City, but I think it is only one time. Propaganda has not achieved the effect that the empire needs"

"What does your majesty mean?"

Li Yuehua raised her pretty face~lightnovelpub.net~ It looked a little haggard and pale. The person in charge of Imperial Bank in Centralbia was actually Princess Mingyue, but in order to raise funds, Princess Mingyue rescued the refugees who were still stranded on the river. For more than ten days, she has not managed the affairs of the Imperial Bank, so now she is actually in charge of Li Yuehua, not to mention the infiltration of Liugang City, which was her original plan.

"One million pressed into Longchang, and another three million was used to take this opportunity to fully intervene in the market of Liucheng Port and simply buy all the industries of Liucheng Port!"

Black Youth stood up, touched his nose with his hands, a black imperial uniform with a sharp sound, and a golden falcon inlaid in the cuff position, which showed a strong and capable masculinity. Since there is a gap that can be entered, then simply use The huge enough capital flow completely covers the market of Liucheng Port

"Buying Liucheng Port, your majesty is not afraid of the intervention of the Central Asian court?" Li Yuehua shuddered slightly. She did not expect the emperor to use such a large amount of handwriting. It is conceivable that so much capital flowed in. The city and the city will collapse. Those so-called giants, in the face of such financial resources, are definitely swept all the way.

"Intervention? Haha, what does Central Biabia use to intervene? Just rely on their iron money that cannot be bought by the root grass?"

"And we are not in the name of the empire, but princess Mingyue, the princess of Central Abia, who is running around the big river channel to save more than one million refugees, and is rich!" The black youth smiled indifferently, holding his hand. That report patted on "Tell the people of the Empire in Liucheng Port to fully promote this matter, and it is necessary to completely take down the actual power of Liucheng Port with a thunderbolt.

"Your Majesty did this, if Her Royal Highness knew it, I'm afraid..." Li Yuehua looked at the forceful smile in the corner of the fat man's mouth and couldn't help but hit a chill 8
