Chapter 837: Cao Jia

Cao Zhengyang was a little panicked. Just as the merchant ship he was on set off, a group of soldiers in silver armor boarded the ship and surrounded him.
"Treasurer Cao, I'm afraid you will come with us." The leading guard held the helmet with one hand around his side, and pinched his waist with the other to look at Cao Zhengyang.
"Di Ying!" Cao Zhengyang's eyes narrowed.
The visitor was Di Ying, a general who once stationed in Bashu. There were many deaths and injuries in the Bashu battle. The Manchu civil and military were indignant, and Di Ying could only bear the blame.
After the North Korean meeting decided, he was dismissed from the army and moved to the guard post, where he became a fifth-grade commander.
The guard station official system, each state’s guard station has one superintendent, three ranks, two admirals and four ranks, two commanders and five ranks, and there are thousands of households and hundreds of households under commanders.
For this rank, Di Ying did not complain, because he knew very well that he was able to stay in the court because the emperor and those old friends were merciful, and he could not resist the barbarians even if he was stationed in Songzhou.
It's just that someone must be responsible for the battle of Bashu, otherwise it will be difficult for the common people to be angry. He can only drink this glass of bitter wine by himself.
"I didn't expect the shopkeeper Cao to remember it. It's really an honor, but even so, this commander still wants to take you back." Di Ying had a straw stalk in his mouth and looked wild.
Cao Zhengyang's heart seemed to be held in his hand, and fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead. He argued loudly, "I didn't break any laws. Why are you arresting me? Don't you be afraid that I will personally sue the emperor?"
Di Ying curled his lips and said, "You were lying in a woman's arms and breastfeeding when I was killing the enemy on the battlefield! Frighten me? You are not qualified, come, take me away, and detain this merchant ship!"
"Yes!"
After receiving Di Ying's order, a hundred guards immediately rushed aboard.
Cao Zhengyang fell into despair. He understood that the court had been monitoring them, and the current sage never really trusted him.
"Do it!"
When the guards were boarding the ship, Cao Zhengyang suddenly yelled that he had to make the last fight, otherwise he would never be able to leave Qingzhou again.
His words fell, and the crew members who had been busy on the ship suddenly picked up swords from various places on the merchant ship and killed them at the guards. Cao Zhengyang also put his hands into the sleeve cage.
Di Ying was tempered from the war. Such an emergency was just a small scene for him. As Cao Zhengyang moved, he pulled a Mitsubishi thorn from his waist and pressed it on Cao Zhengyang's chin.
"This thing is called Mitsubishi thorn. It was produced by the military workshop not long ago. As long as you stab it lightly, your blood will flow like a stream until you die." Di Ying said with a sullen face.
Cao Zhengyang is just a businessman, and at the moment of life and death, he is not comparable to a person like Di Ying who is used to life and death. His actions immediately stopped.
Di Ying laughed twice, put his hand into Cao Zhengyang's sleeve cage, and he took out a short-barreled musket.
"Muskets! The imperial court strictly prohibits civilians from carrying guns, Cao Zhengyang, it seems that you are plotting this time."
Di Ying said that he saw words on the musket that he didn't recognize. In his opinion, the musket was not produced in the country of Da Yu.
As he spoke, the guards wrapped in armor easily dealt with the crew members who tried to resist.
Although these guards are not part of the army, they can only serve after receiving strict training. It is easy to deal with ordinary villains.
Cao Zhengyang closed his eyes when he heard this, and this time the Cao family's operations in the north were all over.
While arresting Cao Zhengyang, the postman rushed day and night to transmit the order to intercept the merchant ship to Jinling City. Immediately, Jinling Mansion immediately sent guards to the river to intercept the merchant ship Cao's family who was about to enter the riverway of Jinling City.
Immediately the news spread to Qingzhou, and the Cao family's conspiracy was completely shattered within six days.
"The emperor, the total amount of silver seized by Jinling City is 8 million taels, and this silver is now returning to Qingzhou."
In the Imperial Study Room, Li San reported to Xiao Ming on the current implementation status.
"Eight million taels, this Cao family can really do it, this is equivalent to hollowing out a small half of the cash on the market." Xiao Ming snorted.
"Indeed, fortunately, the emperor kept the secret guards staring at him, otherwise the Cao family would really succeed this time." Li Sanxin had lingering fears.
Xiao Ming frowned. In fact, this is a headache. The backwardness of this era makes the court's supervision of the people very weak.
After all, even modern capitalists who flee with money can't stop it, let alone here.
"I only found that Cao Zhengyang was a little abnormal. His remarks were almost the same as those of his father in Lin'an." Xiao Ming said lightly: "By the way, how is the Cao family's property seized?"
"Back to the emperor, the Cao family's mines, banks, and workshops were all sealed up. It was just that this incident caused many businessmen and people to panic suddenly, and now many people are going to the Cao family bank to ask for money exchange." Li San said.
Xiao Ming had anticipated this problem a long time ago, "I have my own way to do this. After you go back, continue to follow the line of Cao Zhengyang. The king of Chu and Cao Jiaru are deliberate here. Dig as much as you can?"
"Yes, the emperor." Li San bowed in response.
Asking Li San to leave, Xiao Ming immediately called Pang Yukun over. The Cao family has a lot of assets in the north, and these assets must be dealt with in time, especially the Cao family bank, otherwise trouble will easily occur.
Pang Yukun quickly arrived at the Imperial Study Room, and he was relieved when he learned that Yinzi was stopped.
"Fortunately, this time the emperor asked the old minister to come for the Cao family's property." Pang Yukun said.
Xiao Ming nodded ~EbookFREE.me~Pang Yukun has always thought of a piece with him. He said: "I don't want to affect the development of industry and commerce because of the Cao family. In this way, for the Cao family's mines and workshops, you immediately Officials were sent to take over, instead of Cao’s management, and after it was stabilized, they would be auctioned to other merchants for operation. As for the Cao’s family bank, it was directly renamed Qingzhou Bank and existed as a branch of Qingzhou Bank.
Pang Yukun and Xiao Ming thought about the same, he said: "As for the people and businessmen who demanded the exchange of silver, the lower officials thought that they should publicly tell them in the newspaper that the silver bills in their hands would not affect the use, so as to avoid chaos."
"Well, it can be handled like this." Xiao Ming groaned.
In fact, he made Pang Yukun come this time with a more important thing. This is the monetary system. Now Qingzhou Bank has entered Korea, and his goal is to make Dayu a world-class currency in the future.
So after completely erasing the Cao family bank, he felt that the time had come.
After a pause, he said: "In fact, I have an idea, that is, to take advantage of this incident to issue the unified banknotes of the Great Yu Kingdom."
