Five Hundred and Eighty-Six: Spendthrift Woman, Where Did the Money Go? (3)
The Meng family and the Liu family have no hatred?
Of course there is, and it is an irreconcilable hatred!
When Meng Yu died tragically, Meng Zhan, who was old, sent his son to his death. He vomited blood several times. After the grand funeral, he fell seriously ill and stayed on the sickbed.
After finally recovering, he felt that Meng Yu's death was very strange.
He knew Meng Hun. Although he was promoted to the commander of Meng County, Meng Hun did not change his grassroots temperament. He was honest and dutiful. He did not have the ability to make a careful layout, not to mention that he made several provocative remarks and revealed the word "cheap" in his words.
Not only that, intercepting food and ambushing also requires a large number of people. When Meng Hun fled Meng County, he brought a lot of people with him, but they were all remnants and defeated generals. Some died and some were injured along the way. How could he have the ability to annihilate the elite of the Meng family? He also teased and humiliated them many times in the process?
When Meng Zhan was recuperating, he repeatedly pondered and felt that things were not that simple at all. There must be a mastermind behind Meng Hun.
As soon as he recovered from his illness, he sent people to Hejian County to investigate the news carefully.
However, Cangzhou Meng County is very far away from Hejian County. It takes a month to go back and forth, and the information is too slow to be transmitted.
When Meng Zhan shifted his suspicion to Liu She, he had already been the chief examiner in Shangjing, resigned from the post of Hu County Governor, and was promoted to Chongzhou Mu. He took office as soon as the assessment was over and went to the border of Dongqing, one south and one north, spanning the entire Dongqing territory.
As for Meng Hun?
At that time, Meng Hun had already taken more than a thousand troops to Chongzhou to hide, just avoiding Meng's spies.
Meng Zhan originally wanted to attack Liu and test Liu She's reaction. After all, he had no evidence to prove that Liu She was the culprit who ordered Meng Hun to kill Meng Yu. However, Hejian Liu only had ordinary clansmen. The most important Liu She was in Chongzhou, and the younger one was studying in Langya County.
Coincidentally, at that time, the emperor had completely suppressed the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion, and the vacant military power always had to have a confidant.
Meng became the best choice, which also diverted Meng Zhan's attention to some extent.
Until half a year ago, Meng Zhan received news that there was a fierce general named Meng Hun in Fengyi County, who led troops to conquer Maolin County!
Meng Hun? He is not dead yet?
Meng Zhan was like a chicken blood, and hurriedly sent people to investigate. After a long time of going back and forth, he finally found out the dry goods.
Meng Hun is still the same Meng Hun,
The former Meng County Commander, now the Vanguard Camp Captain under Liu Xi.
Who is Liu Xi?
Liu She's only son.
Who is Meng Hun?
The culprit who killed Meng Yu, played tricks on Cangzhou, and defrauded food.
When these two people got together, Meng Zhan didn't need any evidence, he could conclude that the culprit behind the murder of Meng Yu was Liu She!
Four or five years have passed, and he dared not forget the revenge of his son's murder. When he thought of his beloved son being bled to death, and his corpse lying in a cold coffin with a stinking corpse, he was filled with hatred... Although he had a dirty relationship with Liu She, how could this man dare to be so cruel and take Meng Yu's life?
Meng Yu is no less to Meng Zhan than Liu Xi is to Liu She!
The revenge of killing a son is irreconcilable!
Meng Zhan originally wanted to stay away from the war between the emperor and Prince Changshou, but now he intervened, preparing to use this as a bargaining chip to help one of the parties win, and then attack Liu She's entire family. Who knew that the emperor agreed to it on the surface, but was bewitched by the treacherous concubine behind his back.
As a last resort, Meng Zhan could only change his target, abandon the emperor, and turn to cooperate with Prince Changshou.
Liu She killed one of his sons, so he wanted to destroy the entire Liu family!
The innocent Liu She took the blame for Jiang Pengji, but the family harmed by Jiang Pengji was more than just the Meng family.
In the far north, another storm is brewing.
The King of the Imperial Court is the King of the Imperial Court after all. He fought his way out of the ordinary royal family and became the king of the northern border. He still has some means.
The loss of the horse farm is irreparable, and the large number of war horses that died is even more heart-wrenching. But at this moment, the most important thing is to find a way to stabilize the situation and reduce the losses of various tribes and herdsmen. When it comes to making up for the losses, money is naturally indispensable.
When it comes to money, the managers of the northern border business firms all turn pale.
In order to resist foreign merchants and ensure the interests of the northern border, the King of the Imperial Court, under the advice of the "wise man" Wuliba, integrated various industries and formed a business alliance, which can not only benefit each other, but also increase the competitiveness of local business.
However, the business alliance has the advantages of the alliance, and naturally there are certain disadvantages.
They saw the value of "Tiangong Colored Lithium", waited for a while, and then jointly swallowed up the stock of Guxin Jubaozhai, preparing to learn from Guxin's methods of "waiting for valuation and selling" and "hunger marketing" to maximize the characteristics of "Tiangong Colored Lithium" that is rare and valuable.
However, before they made much money, horse plague occurred, and then there was the death of war horses and the loss of horse farms...
Now they need real money to fill the gap, and they were shocked to find that the circulating gold, silver and copper coins were less than a quarter of the usual amount.
Beijiang Commercial Bank does have money, but most of their money comes from the business of various shops, horse farms, war horses, stallions, colt caravans, precious goods... These things are converted into gold, silver and jewelry. Beijiang Commercial Bank is certainly rich enough to rival a country, but when it comes to real gold and silver...
Papapapa——
"Where is the money? Did someone embezzle it privately?"
The general manager slapped the table with a crackling sound, and his beard was so angry that it was about to fly.
The young steward stammered tremblingly, "Even if I had ten guts, I wouldn't dare to do this..."
The chief steward was furious and snatched the account handed over by the other party and read it through ten lines at a glance.
The accounts all matched, but where did their company's money go?
Seeing the back, the general manager's face turned green, and he said helplessly, "Let's find a way to sell all the 'Heavenly Palace Colored Glaze'..."
The little manager hurriedly said, "But-"
The general manager interrupted him, "No buts, the most important thing now is to come up with a sum of money, the people above need it."
Everyone knows that "Heavenly Palace Colored Glaze" is extremely precious, and gold and gems dare not compete with it. If it passes a few years, it may be even more expensive. After all, they cheated Gu Xin with 30% of the price, even if they sell it at the original market price, it is a sure profit.
Not only will they not lose money, they can also make a lot of money.
Everyone understands the truth, but time is not enough, and they can't wait.
Helplessly, they can only sell "Heavenly Palace Colored Glaze" in exchange for real gold and silver.
At this time, they found something very embarrassing.
Most of the noble ladies in Northern Xinjiang are of noble origin, and most of the business houses are opened by the families of these noble ladies.
When they bought "Heavenly Palace Glass", they didn't give gold, silver or jewelry at all. Instead, they "recorded", "owed first", "took directly"... What's more, some said they bought it with money, but they directly paid with the money of the merchant bank. What's the difference between this and putting the money in the left pocket into the right pocket?
Among them, Wuliba's wife was the most generous, and she bought ten sets of headwear in one breath.
However, the merchant bank didn't get a penny, but a stack of IOUs.
For the ladies, the merchant bank was opened by their mother's family, and it was their own money bag. Do they need to pay for buying something?
