"Five percent of the shares?"
Night, Chongren Lane, Zhangsun Residence.
Zhangsun Chong repeated the words that Li Zexuan said during the day. Zhangsun Wuji listened and couldn't help but frown.
Now that the Tang Dynasty was promoting new mathematics, Zhangsun Wuji knew a thing or two about it. He knew about the concept of five percent.
Zhangsun Chong nodded. "Yes, Father! Yamachō said that there will be many people investing in the Yanhuang Bank in the future. He can only give us this much! I heard that Chang 'an City's Cao Wendong invested 80,000 strings of cash and only got two percent of the shares! "
"80,000 strings of cash, two percent!"
When Zhangsun Wuji heard this, he gasped and said in surprise, "According to this calculation, that Li Zexuan is planning to expand this bank to the scale of over a million strings of coins. This old man's guess wasn't wrong back then. This kid is indeed scheming big!"
"Gulp!"
Zhangsun Chong swallowed his saliva and said in disbelief, "Father! Over a million strings of cash? Where did Yamachō get so much money?? "
Zhangsun Wuji looked in the direction of the palace leisurely and said, "Your mountain head is right. There will be more and more people who want to invest in the Yan Huang Bank! Let's see if he can convince the higher-ups with his glib tongue! "
How could he not see that if the Yanhuang Bank wanted to establish itself in the Tang Dynasty, it needed Li Er's approval and the royal family's participation? At that time, there would be too many monks and too little porridge. Now that Li Zexuan was willing to give him five percent of the shares, it was really a preferential treatment.
…
The next day, morning!
Datang Daily's headlines lit up the entire Chang 'an City!
"Lantian Tycoon is heartless! His sins are too numerous to be recorded! "
"Bai Xiaodie? I seem to have heard of this name before! "
"Isn't this the massacre of White Star Village five years ago? That girl … "
"Tsk! So the culprit is the Fan father and son! Damn it! "
"The Fan family deserves to die!"
"They must die! Marquis is mighty, otherwise the Fan father and son would still be at large! "
"There's nothing to say! Tomorrow, I must go to the Lantian County yamen and personally witness the execution of the Fan father and son! "
"This father and son from the Fan Clan are even more despicable than the Cui Clan. No matter what, this old man must go to the Lantian County's yamen tomorrow to take a look!"
"Let's go together!"
The Confucian scholars, merchants, and common people in Chang 'an City were all filled with righteous indignation and clamored to go to Lantian County the next day.
At the same time, Lantian County was also blown up by the news on Datang Daily.
"So the Fan family has done so many bad things over the years. The father and son of the Fan family deserve to die!"
"Poor father and daughter of the Bai Family! Who would have thought that the bandits from White Star Village five years ago were hired by Fan Tong! God damn it! "
"Devoid of conscience! If this kind of person doesn't die, the heavens must be blind! "
"It's all thanks to the Marquis of Yong 'an! Otherwise, who would dare to capture the Fan family's father and son? "
"Marquis Yong 'an Renyi! Tomorrow, I will go to the county yamen to testify! When White Star Village was looted, this old man was there! "
"I'll go too! I want to see the Fan family's father and son sentenced! "
… …..
The crimes listed in Datang Daily were so shocking that those who read the newspaper were filled with righteous indignation. As for the Lantian County merchants who had complained about Li Zexuan's capture of the Fan family's father and son, they did not even dare to fart now!
Datang Daily had been established for almost a year, and the news it reported had never been false. Since it dared to put the Fan family's father and son's case on the top of the news, it meant that the contents were all conclusive evidence!
In the face of such 'evidence', how would these merchants dare to continue to be in the same camp as the Fan family? Their top priority was to draw a clear line between them and the Fan family!
In Taiji Palace, the morning court was halfway through.
A chamberlain from the Yellow Door suddenly rushed into the Imperial Court with a booklet in his hand. Zhao Song knew that something urgent had happened. He quickly took the booklet and passed it to Li Er. After Li Er finished reading it, he frowned. He patted the Dragon Desk and ordered in a deep voice,
"Aiqing Dai, go to the Lantian County yamen tomorrow morning! There's a big case there that needs your attention! "
The Dali Temple's Vice-Chancellor, Dai Ai, was dumbfounded. Due to time constraints, the officials who attended the morning court usually did not see the latest issue of Datang Daily before the morning court, so it was understandable that he did not understand what Li Er was saying.
"Your Majesty! May I know what's the big case in Lantian County? "
Dai Ai took a step forward and cupped his hands.
Li Er did not want to say too much to prevent it from affecting his mood. He waved his hand and said, "You will know after the court! Aiqing Dai will represent the Dali Temple to preside over the public trial in Lantian County tomorrow. You must give me a clear explanation! "
This was the first time Dai Ai had received such a strange task. How could he preside over a case that he had not even heard of? However, it was obvious that Li Er did not want to say too much, so he could not take the initiative to ask. He could only helplessly cup his hands and reply.
"Your subject obeys the decree!"
He thought to himself. After the morning court, he had to send someone to Lantian County to investigate the big case there. However, that was now the fief of the Marquis of Yong 'an. He had not heard of any big movements from the Marquis of Yong' an recently.
…
"Hyah! Hyah! "
At a quarter to nine in the morning, Dai Ai left the palace after the morning court session. His coachman brought him a newspaper. After reading the headlines, Dai Ai instantly understood what case Li Er wanted him to investigate, especially the massacre of the White Star Village five years ago. It made his expression change. At this moment, he did not even bother to return home. He immediately got on his horse and rushed to Yun Mountain!
"Yo! Isn't this Dai Shaoqing? What brings you here? "
Dai Ai finally arrived at Yunshan when it was close to noon. Li Zexuan, who was eating in the courtyard, could not help but laugh when he saw Dai Ai, who was panting and with disheveled hair.
"Ah! My Marquis! You still have the time to joke around at a time like this! Hurry up and tell me about the Fan family case in detail! "
Dai Ai smiled bitterly as he walked into the front hall.
"What do you mean?"
"Just now, His Majesty asked me to preside over the Fan family case in court. That is why I rushed over in a hurry to understand the situation in advance!"
Li Zexuan was silent for a moment after hearing Dai Ai's answer. He then said, "Since His Majesty asked Dai Shaoqing to preside over the case, then I have no objections! However, eating is the most important thing in this world. Dai Shaoqing must have not eaten since you came in such a hurry, right? Come, come, come, sit down and eat first. We can discuss proper matters after you eat! "
