"I tell you, marquis, according to the humble investigation, the big manager of Yuanxiang bank is named Cao Guangqi. However, during our investigation, we found that Cao Guangqi's other information except his name is false. Even the owner behind him is extremely mysterious. I only heard that he is a young man, and there is no other useful information."
In the Mo mansion, Constable Cao came together with the information to explore. The more he explored, the more frightened he became. Who could have thought that there was such a mysterious bank in Chang'an city. In case of an accident, he couldn't finish walking around.
"Sure enough!" Merton was not surprised by the result. If Ziqian family didn't have two sons, how could it exist for such a long time. Yuanxiang bank is just a stronghold of Ziqian family.
"Not only that, but even the shops of Yuanxiang bank are rented. I didn't find the remains of the clerks in Yuanxiang bank. The property counted out was just a few copper coins, and there was no useful clue at all." Constable Cao smiled bitterly.
In people's impression, banks are the richest places. They must be full of gold and silver treasures. However, Yuanxiang bank is like an empty shell.
Merton was also dumb. He didn't expect Ziqian's family to make such a decision.
"However, Yuanxiang bank doesn't have no money at all. It is said that it has also put a batch of printed money outside, but Yuanxiang bank has become a ruin with no list and loan receipt. It's estimated that no one will admit it." Constable Cao smiled bitterly. The bank that borrowed printed money suddenly committed an offence and ran away. It's impossible to urge the account again, just like the world lost pie, I'm afraid no one will admit such a good thing.
"Then issue a notice. Once the people who borrow the money printed by Yuanxiang bank encounter a reminder, they can come to the Mohist school to report, and the Mohist school will be rewarded." Merton sneered.
"Mohou Yingming!" Constable Cao nodded.
"In that case, this case is over. Just want craftsman Liu and the big shopkeeper of Yuanxiang bank! Don't track down any more." Merton waved.
"Thank you! Hou Ye understands!" Constable Cao breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that the case could be closed. Although he had never heard of the Ziqian family, seeing that the other party was so powerful, he naturally knew that it was involved in the battle of hundreds of families. This was not something he could be involved in as a small constable.
"But if the case is closed, what about the remaining fake silver ticket cheaters?" Constable Cao hesitated. These days, he has been entangled by the cheaters and has no temper. According to Merton's previous promise, once the people behind the scenes are found out, he will compensate the cheaters, although it is said that the mojiazi has compensated some people, But the remaining few people are the biggest cheated, which is a million dollars.
According to the plan of the Mohist School and Chang'an County Government, the Mohist school will compensate most of the minor cheated first. When the people behind the scenes are found, they will recover the cheated money and then compensate other cheated people. However, this time, it is found that Yuanxiang bank is just an empty shell. Where will there be money to compensate these cheated people.
Merton took a deep breath and said, "the rest of the money can be compensated by the Mohists."
"Mo Hou is kind!" Cao Chutou said solemnly to Mo Dun when he was arrested. These people were cheated. Some of them were all his possessions. If they became a piece of waste paper, it would be so tragic.
However, in this way, almost all the cheaters were compensated by Mojia village. It was nearly 20000 yuan of money, which was a lot of money for everyone, but Merton didn't hesitate to take it out.
"The fake silver ticket case is closed!"
"Yuanxiang bank is the mastermind behind the counterfeit silver ticket case!"
"Cao Guangqi is wanted, and the imperial court rewards a hundred liang of silver."
With the publication of Ink magazine and the wanted notice of the imperial court, the case of fake silver tickets that had a bad impact on Chang'an city finally came to an end. In the eyes of ordinary people, Yuanxiang bank was the culprit behind it. Coupled with the rumors of Yuanxiang bank fire and the wanted of the chief manager of Yuanxiang bank, the case of fake silver tickets was completely solved.
However, some well-informed people know that Mojia village has suffered a lot this time. Instead of finding the culprit, it will lose 20000 yuan to compensate the victims of fake silver notes alone.
"Shopkeeper Hu, this is your silver note. You must carefully identify the silver note in the future. If you can't identify it, you can directly reject it or turn to the Mojia village bank." outside the Mojia village bank, Shen Hongcai admonished a middle-aged man.
"Thank you, shopkeeper Shen, thank you, mohou." shopkeeper Hu said with tears in his eyes. He was the unlucky guy who was cheated of thousands of taels of silver. He was originally a rich family. He was destitute overnight. If Mohist village hadn't promised compensation, I'm afraid he would have no chance to turn over in the future.
"There are many opportunities for Mojia village to continue doing business!" shopkeeper Shen patted shopkeeper Hu on the shoulder.
"Hmm!" shopkeeper Hu wiped his snot and tears all over his face, which made him out of control under great sorrow and joy.
Subsequently, the cheated people with more than one money and silver ticket received compensation. The case of fake silver ticket was finally settled by the compensation of Mojia village and the reissue of the second-generation silver ticket.
However, although the Mohists tried their best to solve the fake silver ticket case and closed the case as soon as possible, it still inevitably affected the reputation of the silver ticket. In addition to the Mohist village, the acceptance of silver tickets in Luoyang and Chang'an fell into a low ebb.
"Merton, the bill business continues to grow, but although the second-generation silver notes have been replaced, the circulation is still less than that when the first-generation silver notes were at their peak." Shen frowned. It is reasonable to say that the second-generation silver notes have just been issued, which has eliminated the possibility of fake Silver notes, but the acceptance of silver notes is still in the doldrums.
Merton thought for a moment and said, "compared with heavy copper money, silver notes have natural advantages. Banks don't have to be too urgent. As long as they guarantee the credit of silver notes, more and more people are willing to accept silver notes. However, banks can't be indifferent and need to take the initiative."
"Take the initiative to attack?" Shen Hongcai didn't understand.
Merton nodded: "for ordinary citizens, there are enough places to deposit copper money in their homes. Silver tickets are mainly aimed at merchants who settle frequently, and where are the most merchants in Chang'an city."
"East and West!" Shen Hongcai suddenly realized.
Merton nodded: "Mojia village bank can set up two more branches in the East and West cities, directly set up exchange business and bill of exchange business in the East and West cities, and identify the authenticity of silver tickets. In this way, merchants can easily trade without going out of the market. Who can refuse Silver tickets?"
"That's a good idea!" Shen Hongcai said with a bright eye. The two branches only need to use a small amount of money and manpower to solve the bank crisis. It's a cost-effective thing.
"I'm afraid it will be difficult to build the branches in the East and West cities in a short time. There is still a hidden worry for banks that needs to be prevented in advance." Shen Hongcai said seriously.
"Master, please?" Merton said positively.
Shen Hongcai said, "the bank has escorted 300000 Guan to the library in the imperial palace. Coupled with 20000 Guan in the case of compensation for fake silver tickets, the issuance of silver tickets has suddenly decreased, and the bank's cash has been very nervous. If there is another accident, I'm afraid it will damage the reputation of Mohism."
"Cash is tight!" Merton immediately frowned. Now the size of Mojia village is very large and expands rapidly. It needs to ensure sufficient cash flow to operate. Once the capital chain breaks, the impact on Mojia will be fatal.
"The owner is not good. I don't know when the business circles in Chang'an say that Mojia village is short of cash. Now many merchants ask to trade with Mojia cash and no longer accept silver tickets." Xu Jie came in a hurry with bad news.
"This matter is extremely confidential. How could it come out?" Shen Hongcai exclaimed.
Merton immediately gnashed his teeth and said, "son Qian's house!"
"Could it be that Zi Qian's family is making trouble behind this matter?" Shen Hongcai and Xu Jie exclaimed.
Shen Hongcai is a member of a hundred families, and Xu Jie was once an elite in Chang'an city. Naturally, they have heard of the name of the Ziqian family. They never thought that the Mohist family was targeted by this vampire.
Merton nodded and said, "although we didn't catch the real evidence, with all kinds of clues and the case of the golden cicada coming out of the shell of Yuanxiang bank, it must be Ziqian's family."
Xu Jie frowned, but he knew how terrible the Ziqian family was. Once an ordinary merchant was infected, he was afraid that he would immediately fall into a hopeless place. When he was in crisis, some Ziqian family wanted to borrow from him. He avoided him like a snake and a scorpion. Even if he was a strong man, he didn't fall into the trap.
"Since Ziqian family wants to weigh the Mohist family, we have to accompany them to the end. Shopkeeper Xu sent a letter to all the banks in Chang'an City, saying that I have business with the Mohist family." Merton said with a smile.
"All the banks!" Shen Hongcai frowned.
"Boss, the bank has a bad reputation. What are we looking for the bank to do?" Xu Jie didn't understand.
Merton laughed and said, "what else can we do when we find a bank? Naturally, we borrow indian money!"
"Ah!" they suddenly exclaimed. I'm afraid Merton knows the harm to the printing money best. The game of a penny can tell the sinister of the printing money, but they didn't expect that Merton took the initiative to borrow the printing money.
"To be exact, it should be to borrow money from the money house," Merton corrected.
"Are you so sure that these banks are all Zi Qian's?" Shen Hongcai frowned.
Merton shook his head and said, "of course not. As the saying goes, the cunning rabbit three caves, how can the Ziqian family only have the coat of Yuanxiang bank? Among these banks, there must be Ziqian family hidden. The Mohist family has no time to choose one by one, so they have to find them all!"
These banks may not be all Ziqian family, but Merton firmly believes that some of them must be puppets of Ziqian family.
"What, mojiazi wants to borrow money from us!"
As soon as the news came out, the major banks in Chang'an City were in an uproar.
It is natural that the major banks have heard a lot about what kind of people the mojiazi is. In particular, the recent case of counterfeit bank notes and the fire at Yuanxiang bank have pushed the mojiazi and the bank to the forefront of the wave.
