After Wen Wan gave a few instructions, he concentrated on his work. The bank matters are almost finished. Wen Wan is already preparing for the next step. Guangyuan Bank has now spread all over Daqi's state capitals, and accounts for two-thirds of the county towns. Guangyuan Bank has become the number one bank in Daqi. The next step for Wenwan is to step up cooperation with various banks.
Wenwan¡¯s purpose is to make Guangyuan Bank a regulatory function like a modern central bank. It is not limited to making money. As long as it develops smoothly, this step can be completed within a few years. By following the gentle steps, Guangyuan Bank will be equivalent to controlling the economic lifeline of Daqi (now only half). You think, she is like controlling all the money banks in the world. If she has any bad intentions, Daqi will be in chaos. Wen Wan had told the emperor long ago that she was doing this to make the economy prosperous. The emperor is fully supportive.
Originally, Wen Wan wanted to merge Guangyuan Bank into the national treasury when the time was right. But the emperor didn't want it, and Wen Wan didn't want more than ten years of hard work to go to waste. So I gave up the idea.
The emperor knows it, but others don¡¯t! Others only know that Guangyuan Bank is now acting as the first bank, allowing other banks to become its partners. When you think about it, if you control all the banks, you will really become a veritable God of Wealth. Well, if she is unhappy, she doesn¡¯t know what will happen! Therefore, everyone is watching closely what Wen Wan does.
That night, Wen Wan looked bad. During the meal, the four children looked at each other with gentle faces, and then ate honestly.
After dinner, Mingrui followed Wen Wan: "Mom, what's wrong?" According to Mingrui's experience, it was definitely not a business matter. But something else.
Wen Wan rubbed her temples, thought for a moment and said to Mingrui, "It's not a big deal. Ping Shang Tang has been involved." The details haven't been found yet, and Wen Wan can't say anything.
Mingrui had a look of disgust on his face: "Mom, you must not interfere. Going to prison is the best place for this person. Raise an unfamiliar white-eyed wolf." As for Ping Shangtang, Mingrui already knew who it was. I also knew what Ping Shang Tang had done to Wen Wan. According to Mingrui's words. Such white-eyed wolves would have been thrown into the cesspit long ago.
Wen Wan smiled and touched Mingrui's head: "By the way, I haven't told mother yet, how are things going with your cousin?" Speaking of which, Prince Hao was too generous. I don¡¯t know what the picture is.
Mingrui pondered for a while and then said: "He has a deep mind. But he is very kind to us. I haven't found any bad intentions at the moment." It has only been a few days, but he can't draw a conclusion. But this kid does have a plan. Just a few days after arriving, Mingjin was already captured.
Wenwan is at ease.
Mingrui thought for a while and then said: "Mom, last time you only told about Zhuge Liang crying and killing Ma Di, and there was no more. When will there be more? I want to hear it." How could such a beautiful story be cut off? Woolen cloth! This sounds a hundred times better than stories such as Journey to the West!
Wen Wan has a big head. In the past, it was the teacher who urged, but now it is the son's turn to urge: "Mom has already asked people to collect materials. After the New Year, I will use the holidays to sort it out. I will tell you one by one. So, there is no rush now. of."
Mingrui whispered: "Mom, you can only tell it to me and my brother, not to anyone else." He had to keep such a good story to himself.
¡°You think Mingjin can control his mouth,¡± she said with a gentle smile. Mingjin was so showy. As soon as I have something proud, I wish that everyone in the world would know about it. Wenwan doesn't control it, it's a child's nature. Wen Wan doesn't want to erase it prematurely. As you get older and experience more things, you will learn to restrain yourself.
Mingrui pursed his lips. It was possible for Mingjin not to tell outsiders, but it was a bit difficult not to tell Ling Chang and Qi Zhe. But if Wen Wan were to tell him, it would definitely be impossible. Well, it seems like Mingjin needs to learn to keep secrets.
Su Zhenzhen went to the Su Mansion and discussed the matter with Haishi. Now besides Heide, she didn't know who else to talk to.
Haishi can¡¯t do anything about it, the old man has already spoken. Don't do anything before my uncle arrives in Beijing. The more you do, the more you make mistakes.
Su Zhenzhen's eyes were red and swollen from crying: "Sister-in-law. Wen Wan said she would not care about this matter. What should we do?" I thought Wen Wan could settle the matter by stepping forward. But now it seems that Wen Wan is planning to sit back and watch.
Heidegger was speechless about this. It's normal for Wenwan not to help, but it's abnormal for him to help. But it was hard for her to say this to Su Zhenzhen. This doesn't add fuel to the fire.
After Su Zhenzhen left the Su Mansion in tears, the maid next to her couldn't help but said: "Madam, no matter how many grievances were before, the princess is just standing by and watching my uncle's affairs at this time. Isn't it too unfeeling?" Anyway. They are all brothers. Watching my brother-in-law go to jail, he coldly??Looking on, this is not a good look.
Hai Shi shook his head and smiled bitterly: "What's so heartless? This is the retribution Ping Shangtang deserves. Ping Shangtang is not Ping Xiangxi." Ping Xiangxi is the biological father of the princess, so he has to save him. There is emphasis on filial piety, but that is only filial piety to parents. If you are unfilial to your parents, you will receive countless spits, and your future and your children will be affected. But for my brother, I have no requirements.
The next day, Wen Wanna saw the content of Ping Shangtang being involved. The censor's impeachment was relatively small. Because the emperor has not yet given a clear attitude, and Wen Wan has not taken any action, everyone is holding a wait-and-see attitude.
Xia Ying showed Wen Wan the information, which showed everything that happened during Ping Shang Tang¡¯s tenure in the past few years. After Wen Wan finished reading it, she didn't know whether to laugh or be depressed. In fact, anyone with a brain will not be dug into a hole. In one word, stupid.
The first one is a weathering case. The then-prefect of Jiangnan was one of his former colleagues in the Ministry of Household Affairs, with whom he was very close, named Zhao Jian. At the beginning of the year, I invited him to my house for a drink. Ping Shang Tang got the post and went there. But somehow, after waking up, I was lying next to a woman.
In the officialdom, it is normal to give women away to curry favor with their bosses. Ping Shangtang didn't care and took her back to the mansion. The woman was promoted as a concubine as a matter of course (this happened after Su Zhenzhen returned to Beijing). This woman also has the surname Su and is called Aunt Su. This Aunt Su was very favored by Ping Shangtang and often went in and out of the study to serve her.
According to intelligence, it was Aunt Su who was responsible for the storm in this incident. Because Aunt Su did accept a heavy gift from others.
Wen Wan warned many years ago that the woman sent here cannot be trusted and is probably someone else's arrangement. It's a pity that someone didn't take it seriously at all. It¡¯s unclear whether he was careful this time, but he deserved to be tricked to death for allowing an aunt to enter the study.
The second thing is that in the six years since Ping Shangtang took office, he has embezzled and accepted bribes amounting to more than 600,000 taels. The information contained the time, location, and who sent it.
After reading these two, Wen Wan can no longer stand the next one. Throwing the information on the ground: "It's really greedy." Not to mention other things, the convenience door she opened for Su Zhenzhen alone earned her an annual income of 40,000 to 50,000 yuan. In recent years, I have accumulated a lot of wealth. If the family is poor, that's fine. But if the family is rich, they still engage in corruption and accept bribes.
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? How dare you imitate others to engage in corruption? This is really a clear excuse to give to others. I just feel like I can¡¯t die fast enough.
After getting angry, Wen Wan said, "You should pay more attention to this matter." It doesn't matter if you ignore Ping Shang Tang's affairs. If she is involved, don't blame her for being rude. And Wen Wan is very sure that this matter will definitely involve her. Who knows that she is Pingshangtang's biggest supporter to the outside world? Even if everyone believed that she would not take this little money seriously, she would still have to bear this reputation.
Xia Yao thought for a moment and then said: "Princess Princess, what are your plans?"
Wen Wan sneered: "If they want to plot against me, I will muddy the waters. I will let them lose their wives and lose their troops." If the goal of these people is really him. She will also take advantage of this opportunity to bring down some of the people in Jiangnan.
"The strange thing is that the emperor did not adopt a gentle idea. Instead, he directly issued an imperial decree and escorted Ping Shangtang back to Beijing. Not even an imperial envoy was sent.
Wen Wan had a bad premonition after hearing the news. The emperor hates corrupt officials the most, so why doesn't he rectify them this time?
Xia Ying said with a smile: "Princess, you are overthinking it. The Emperor said that it is now the New Year. There is too much trouble and no one can have a peaceful New Year. The Governor of Jiangnan is the Emperor's confidant. When the New Year is over, all the accounts that should be settled will be settled." Forget it. The emperor will not show favoritism. "
Wen Wan curled her lips. This is just a lie to a child, she doesn't believe it. Wen Wan is very sure that the emperor is hiding something from her: "Xia Ying, tell me honestly, what's going on with the emperor's uncle? I always feel that the emperor's uncle has been acting weird lately."
Xia Ying said everything was normal: "Princess, the Emperor is in good health, you don't have to worry. As for the rest, I will tell you what I know and will never hide it. What I don't know must be highly confidential, and Princess knows a lot." It's too much trouble." Wen Wan doesn't like keeping secrets, and she also hates hearing confidential things. If you say this, I'm sure you won't ask any more questions.
Wen Wan thinks about it too. Since the emperor was not going to tell her, there must be a reason for not telling her. Wen Wan stopped thinking about it. You will know what it is when the time comes.
Three days before the Chinese New Year, all the children have to go back. But Qi Zhe didn't want to go back: "Cousin, I don't want to go back." In the princess's mansion, he didn't have to worry about being plotted or when that vicious woman would kill him. Three meals a day are normal, and there are other small meals. Even Wen Wan saw that this kid had a little rub on his face.
??????????????????????????????? With a gentle smile: "How can you be in my mansion during the Chinese New Year? The palace will be laughed at by others.words. Don't worry, I have already repaired the book for the prince. When you go back, you will never be the same again. When I go to Zhuangzi, I will send someone to pick you up. "Now that we have arrived at our own mansion and we have a close relationship, we will definitely help those who need help.
Qi Zhe nodded: "My cousin is kind to Qi Zhe, Qi Zhe will remember it in my heart." Qi Zhe didn't say much, and now he said the reward was too little, and he couldn't protect himself. Just keep this kindness in your heart. It won't be too late to repay him when I need him in the future.
Wen Wan smiled softly. Although she said she didn't care about kindness or kindness, Qi Zhe's words made Wen Wan feel comfortable.
PS: I highly recommend the author Lost Dragon¡¯s new book, "The Taming of a Young Lady and Her Husband", a story about a shrewd young lady and an arrogant young husband, and a happy little white novel. Reading it will make you relax, smile, and feel good.
