Otaku Engineer in Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 2162 Slander!

"It's so good, why did Li Ke suddenly feel bad about Kang Guo and Anguo businessmen?"

In the side hall, Zhangsun Wuji put down the tea cup in his hand, looked at Ma Cheng who was sitting next to him, and asked in a puzzled way.

"...I don't know about this Zhang! But this time, Yanhuang Qianzhuang is aimed at the merchants of Kanguo and Anguo, and the plan should only be for profit! The old man should know that this Zhaowu surname has been in business in the Central Plains for many years, with strong strength and shops. Lin Li, perhaps His Royal Highness the King of Shu wants to use this to suppress the nine Zhaowu surnames, and under this situation, the businessmen of the Yanhuang Chamber of Commerce will gain a greater advantage!"

Ma Cheng's eyes flashed, and he bowed his hands to Zhangsun Wuji and said.

He naturally knew a little about the reason why Yanhuang Qianzhuang "banned" Anguo and Kanguo merchants, but at this moment he couldn't tell Changsun Wuji too clearly, otherwise, after Changsun Wuji knew the truth of the matter , his plan would fail; secondly, if he explained in detail the reasons why Yanhuang Qianzhuang "blocked" the merchants of Anguo and Kanguo, wouldn't it mean that he knew the inside story of the matter? At that time, with the wisdom of the eldest grandson Wuji, it is hard not to think that he himself is also the interested party in this matter.

He can only be an outsider and tell Changsun Wuji such a news, so that he won't make him suspicious!

"Yanhuang Chamber of Commerce? Are you saying that Li Ke made this move to secretly help the Yanhuang Chamber of Commerce?"

Changsun Wuji's eyes narrowed, and his face instantly turned ugly, he asked in a deep voice.

After more than a year of vigorous development, the Yanhuang Chamber of Commerce has gradually grown in power, and its limelight is not even lower than that of Zhaowu's nine surnames. People like Qin Qiong, Cheng Yaojin, Niu Jinda and others, because of Li Zexuan's relationship, are all in the Qiqu Pavilion workshop. For those who have dry shares, each moonlight dividend is not a small sum. Originally, the eldest grandson's family was considered a wealthy family because of the relationship between the royal family and the state, but because of Li Zexuan's relationship, the Qin family and the Cheng family were already richer than the eldest grandson's family!

It's not that his eldest grandson Wuji is greedy for money, it's just that he gets angry every time he thinks about it.

Now that Li Ke is likely to use the Yanhuang Chamber of Commerce to suppress other businessmen and raise the Yanhuang Chamber of Commerce, Zhangsun Wuji is even more unhappy.

Hearing this, Ma Cheng hurriedly stood up "with sincerity and fear" and said, "This... this is just a private guess by Ma, and there is no evidence. Elder Ge doesn't have to take it seriously!"

Zhangsun Wuji glanced at Ma Cheng angrily, thinking to himself, if you have no evidence, why are you talking nonsense in front of this old man? Is it possible that the old man is going to complain to the Holy Master just because of your speculation?

But of course he couldn't say these words in front of Ma Cheng, that is, to complain!

"Elder Ge, Ma believes that the reason why Yanhuang Bank issued this order is not important. His Royal Highness's use of Yanhuang Bank to rashly suppress the merchants of Anguo and Kanguo is greatly inappropriate!"

Seeing the sullen look on the face of the eldest grandson Wuji, Ma Cheng knew that he could no longer betray him, so he simply said bluntly.

"how do I say this?"

Zhangsun Wuji asked blankly.

Ma Cheng replied: "Elder Ge, since the sage allowed the establishment of Yanhuang Bank and promoted Tang Yuan, the Yanhuang Bank was managed by the imperial court, under the Ministry of Household, and Yongan Hou was appointed as the bank manager. At the beginning of the establishment of Yanhuang Bank, The major families that invested their money held a certain number of dry shares in the bank according to the proportion of the money they invested. Therefore, this Yanhuang bank is not owned by the Marquis of Yongan, let alone by His Royal Highness the King of Shu, but by the court, and some of them belong to the court. It belongs to the eldest grandson family!"

Hearing this, Zhangsun Wuji's heart moved. Indeed, when the Yanhuang Qianzhuang was first built, under the influence of Qin Qiong, Cheng Yaojin and others, the honorable and royal family members of Chang'an City all took out a certain amount of real gold. The silver was invested in the bank, and the eldest grandson's family also invested 100,000 qian. Later, Yanhuang Qianzhuang was "nationalized, and Tang Yuan became the official currency of the Tang Dynasty. Those individuals and families who first invested in Yanhuang Qianzhuang also obtained a corresponding share of dry shares. Of course, most of the dry shares belonged to the imperial court. After all, Yanhuang Qianzhuang is now an institution under the Imperial Household Ministry!

That is to say, Li Ke rashly sanctioned Kanguo and Anguo businessmen, which also harmed the interests of the Changsun family. After all, they held shares in Yanhuang Qianzhuang!

"Humph! As you said, this Yanhuang Qianzhuang is not owned by Li Ke alone, but it is not the old man's. Behind the Yanhuang Qianzhuang are the generals and honors of the court, let's see what others say!"

Zhangsun Wuji is an old man, and he has already passed the age of blood. How could he impulsively go to Li Ke because of Ma Cheng's few words? Not to mention that this will cause Li Er's suspicion and dissatisfaction, just in terms of the current situation, Li Ke, the king of Shu, is no longer something he can move, because behind Li Ke, it is very likely that Li Zexuan is standing. , he does not want to have a head-on conflict with Li Zexuan, the upstart of the court.

"But the old man..."

Ma Cheng hesitated for a moment, then cupped his hands and said, "The Marquis of Yong'an is in the army and is busy with official business, and the Yanhuang Bank is now all tied to His Royal Highness the King of Shu. I heard that there is a guard of thousands of people inside the Yanhuang Qianzhuang, which is specially used to picket the illegal things in the Qianzhuang. His Royal Highness is now in real power, and if things go on like this, the situation will probably be unfavorable to His Royal Highness!"

"shut up!"

Changsun Wuji interrupted Ma Cheng coldly, but his old face was gloomy and dripping with water. Changsun Wuji knew far more about Jinyiwei than Ma Cheng. He knew that this army not only There are civilian staff and military staff. They were organized by Li Junxian, the commander of the Baiqi. The standard is not high. When he heard the news of Jin Yiwei, he was stuck in his throat.

The worry in his heart surged into his heart in an instant, but the matter involved the prince, he had to be cautious. After a moment of silence, the eldest grandson Wuji waved his hand at Ma Cheng and said:

"The old man already knows about this! If there is nothing else, go back first!"

"Yes! This subordinate retire!"

Seeing the gloomy expression on Changsun Wuji's face, Ma Cheng bowed and retire "with sincerity and fear", but an inexplicable look quickly flashed from the corner of his eyes.
