Chapter 175 I’m just a clown! (Here comes the first update!)

Xia Anqi's face was a little gloomy, and he immediately walked out and out of the room. His gloomy face was gone and replaced with a look of joy. Halfway through, he felt disgusted that he was walking too slowly, so he lifted up his skirt.

He started jogging and ran all the way to the central bank gate.

Outside the central bank's external business hall is a large square. It was originally used to park cars for customers who came to the central bank for business, but now all the vehicles have been vacated outside.

Trucks carrying goods kept coming in from outside. Truckloads of copper coins were placed in piles. Mountains of money, large and small, rose up in the huge square. It was very shocking to see.

The government officials of Kaifeng Mansion maintained order on the periphery and prevented the common people from getting too close. The common people stretched their necks one by one to see the spectacle that they would never see many times in their lives.

Xia Anqi just stood there for a moment, and then calculated with his extremely fast mental arithmetic ability that there were already about one million coins in the pile of money in the square, and there were a large number of vehicles waiting to come in behind. It was estimated that there were several million coins.

.

Xia Anqi turned around and saw Zhang Heng looking at him with a smile under the eaves of the central bank's service hall. Xia Anqi's scalp suddenly felt numb.

But when he saw Zhang Heng waving to him, he could only wave with a smile on his face, then he picked up his hem and trotted up to Zhang Heng. He looked very enthusiastic, even a little... flattering!

"Great! Great! With this money, the central bank's crisis will be solved. Hahahaha. Quanzhou Maritime Business is really a patriotic backbone, hahaha..."

Xia Anqi smiled very happily, looking happy after the crisis was over.

Zhang Heng looked at Xia Anqi calmly. Xia Anqi's smile became stiffer and stiffer. He finally couldn't help but asked: "Governor Zhang, why are you looking at Xiaguan like that? Did Xiaguan say something wrong?

Or are there some things I didn’t do right?”

Zhang Heng still didn't speak, just looked at him steadily. When Xia Anqi reached the point where it was almost unbearable, he smiled: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I was so happy just now that I lost my mind and lost my composure.

I lost my temper."

Xia Anqi suppressed the mania in his heart. Although he forced a smile, his face could not be too good after all. It was a bit livid, and paired with his forced smile, it was like wearing a clown mask, which was very disturbing.

It looks chilling.

Xia Anqi asked tentatively: "Governor Zhang, isn't the Quanzhou Commercial Bank in Quanzhou? Why did it come to Bianjing to save money? It's so far away and unreasonable!"

Zhang Heng smiled and said: "I'm not sure, but people from their Quanzhou Commercial Bank are here too, so I'll ask."

Zhang Heng waved to the distance. A man with a tough-looking face that looked like a pirate was originally directing the unloading of coins. When he saw Zhang Heng greeting him, he quickly ran over.

When he got closer and saw this man's face, Xia Anqi was suddenly a little frightened.

This man was probably a real pirate, and the patina-like complexion on his face was actually the rust left by years of drifting on the sea.

This man is so tough. He is a sea trader on land, but when he goes to sea, he probably also has to do pirate work sometimes.

A man with a strong face like a pirate trotted over, grinned with him, and then bowed respectfully to Zhang Heng: "I've seen you, sir!"

Xia Anqi looked at Zhang Heng suddenly.

It is not easy to call someone "Lao Sir". Those who can be called like this are usually those in high positions with high moral character and high prestige. Only then will they be called so respectfully by the people below. Moreover, it has a very respectful meaning and means to obey what is said.

But this Zhang Heng was young, and even if he was somewhat benevolent to Quanzhou maritime merchants for opening up the sea, it wouldn't be like this, right?

Zhang Hengwen and Xia Anqi looked at each other: "Governor Xia, if you want to know anything, you can ask Zhang Mazi, the representative of Quanzhou Commercial Bank.

Ah, someone still needs to keep an eye on it over there. I will go on a patrol over there, and you can have a casual chat.

We are all our own people, Zhang Mazi, this is Governor Xia, don’t dare to neglect me, answer Governor Xia’s questions properly.”

After saying this, Zhang Heng Shi Shi Ran walked away with his hands behind his back.

Xia Anqi looked at Zhang Heng who was walking away, and then at Zhang Mazi who was standing beside him with his hands down, looking as if he was harmless to humans and animals. He had a lot of thoughts in his mind and had many questions to ask.

Zhang Mazi saw Xia Anqi looking at him and smiled: "Governor Xia, do you have anything to ask?"

After Zhang Mazi said this, Xia Anqi became rude and asked: "Manager Zhang, your Quanzhou Commercial Bank is in Quanzhou, why did you transport so much money all the way to the central bank?"

He thought Zhang Mazi would talk about him, but Zhang Mazi spoke frankly and said with a smile: "Master Zhang needs it, so we are here."

Xia Anqi's heart skipped a beat again: "When did Governor Zhang tell you that we need it?"

"A month and a half ago." Zhang Mazi answered honestly.

Xia Anqi breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this. A month and a half ago, that was before he set up the trap, which meant that this matter was not aimed at him.

But Zhang Mazi's subsequent words set off huge waves in his heart.

Zhang Mazi said: "...To be honest, Mr. Zhang already mentioned this matter years ago, but he only asked us to set off a month and a half ago..."

Zhang Mazi and Xia Anqi smiled slightly and said, "...Master Zhang had already anticipated what would happen today a few months ago."

Xia Anqi suddenly lost his composure and said in a loss of voice: "Were you expecting a run a few months ago?"

Zhang Mazi chuckled: "When the central bank opens the world, it will definitely become the world's number one bank. This is inevitable, because money is deposited to pay interest. Therefore, if other banks do not follow suit, then the other banks will only gradually die out.

Governor Xia, if you were a banker, would you allow the central bank to continuously erode your bank’s share, and in the end would your bank end up with losses?”

Xia Anqi didn't speak.

Zhang Mazi didn't care and said with a smile: "Of course it's impossible, so they will definitely take action.

But after all, the central bank is an institution of the imperial court. It is a national policy decided by the second government, the third department and the officials. Even if they are dissatisfied, what can they do?

However, officially they had no way to resist, but in the business world it was their territory, so Mr. Zhang had long expected that they would not give up.

As for the most effective trick against a bank, or money bank, it is of course to make the bank lose its trust. Even if the central bank is the central bank of the imperial court, once it is run on and stops paying, it will still lose its trust.

Credit is difficult to establish, but easy to destroy. If the central bank really refuses to pay, even if the court takes action later, it will be difficult for people to trust it again.

Therefore, Mr. Zhang asked our Quanzhou Commercial Bank to provide full assistance and send emergency funds to the central bank.

Well, and for today's show, a full five million copper coins will be transported in a steady stream by nearly a thousand trucks.

And all this will be seen by the people of Bianjing. Do you think that after they see this, will they still doubt the strength of the central bank?"

Xia Anqi was a little lost.

This was a big blow to him.

Originally, he thought that Zhang Heng would be defeated by his scheme, the central bank would break its trust, Zhang Heng would be dismissed, and then he would have a dark future and leave sadly.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Heng had already predicted what would happen today a few months ago. His clever plan by Xia Anqi didn't even have the slightest effect, and was completely destroyed by Zhang Heng's casual plan.

net!

This secret hand wasn't even targeting him, Xia Anqi!

This was a particularly heavy blow to Xia'an Qi's confidence.

Before that, he had underestimated the world's heroes, but in a blink of an eye, he discovered that he was the clown, the clown standing opposite the hero.

Oh, and not even the hero's final opponent.

The hero galloped on the road on a white horse. He jumped out from the side of the road and shouted "I drive this road...", but he could only shout this half of the sentence, because the next moment he was killed by the hero with a sword.

Lying cowardly in the grass beside the road, becoming the food of wild dogs...

Xia Anqi was so lost that he stood there blankly. He didn't even notice that Zhang Heng had come back in a circle.

Zhang Heng secretly shook his head in disdain. How could anyone achieve great things without a persevering heart? No wonder Xia Song left a name in the history books, but Xia Anqi could only stay because of the sentence "Xia Songzi"

name.

Zhang Heng quietly made a gesture to Zhang Mazi, and Zhang Mazi stepped back.

Zhang Heng gently patted Xia Anqi's shoulder, and Xia Anqi came back to his senses: "Ah? Governor Zhang, are you back?"

Zhang Heng chuckled: "I checked over there and everything went well, haha, I'll come back to see how you guys are chatting."

Xia Anqi kept saying: "It was a good chat, it was a good chat, Governor Zhang has a clever plan to bring peace to the world..."

Zhang Heng said quietly: "Governor Xia, I have some good news for you. Han Yixun has been arrested."

Xia Anqi's whole body trembled, and his face turned pale to the naked eye, and then drops of sweat appeared on his forehead. The weather in Bianjing in early spring was actually quite cold, and there were even residual dirty snow on the street corners, but in summer

Anqi was sweating profusely.

"Ah? Han Yixun...who is Han Yixun?" Xia Anqi said in panic.

Zhang Heng smiled: "Xia Anqi, that's it. No need to pretend. The evidence of Han Yixun's manipulation of the bank run is already conclusive. The relevant personnel have been controlled. Well, the big shopkeeper of twenty-seven banks."

, there is no mistake or omission, everything has been controlled, you don’t have to deny it.”

Xia Anqi pretended to be calm and said: "I don't know what you are talking about. Oh, Han Yixun, I remembered it. He borrowed more than one million yuan from the bank, but so what, I am just executing your order."

It's just an order, what does this have to do with me!

Governor Zhang, although you are my boss, you cannot falsely accuse me for this, otherwise I will impeach you to the officials for colluding with cronies to eliminate dissidents..."

“Cheyenne period!”

Zhang Heng shouted loudly, causing Xia Anqi to tremble all over.

"...You can complain to Dali Temple about these things. The big shopkeepers of the twenty-seven banks will disclose everything. This matter is not something you can handle just by trying to quibble. I am impatient.

Talk to you more!"

As he spoke, Zhang Heng waved his hand, and a Kaifeng government official rushed over to control Xia Anqi. Xia Anqi became anxious and shouted: "Who dares to touch me? I am the son of Xia Song, the economic envoy of Shaanxi Province."

!My father will return to the court in the near future, and the position of Prime Minister will be stable by then, aren't you afraid of my revenge?"

The Kaifeng government official stopped when he heard this and looked at Zhang Heng with some hesitation.

Zhang Heng laughed so hard that he almost fell over.

Xia Anqi looked at Zhang Heng with anger on his face, gritted his teeth and said, "Why are you laughing!"

Zhang Heng's laughter stopped and he said seriously: "Today at the court meeting, the Censor, Prime Minister Gao Ruona, impeached Prime Minister Jia [if Yin and Yang are not in harmony, it is the Prime Minister].

Prime Minister Jia immediately resigned, but His Majesty refused. Prime Minister Jia asked again, but His Majesty refused. Prime Minister Jia asked three times, but Your Majesty refused three times.

Your Majesty has something to say: "There is a severe drought in the world, and I am to blame. The Prime Minister is responsible. However, the disaster relief matters still need to be planned by the Prime Minister. I should avoid the main palace and reduce my regular meals to apologize to heaven. The Prime Minister will take my place and run around the countryside to help people in danger."

Disaster……】

Xia Anqi, do you understand?"

Xia Anqi collapsed to the ground.
