Chapter 824: The Cabinet Must Fall
Ye Xi left angrily, and the rest were very embarrassed. What was particularly uncomfortable was that Kou Zhun, as the prime minister, was actually overturned by the second minister. His old face turned into pig liver color and his lips kept trembling.
After being silent for a quarter of an hour, no one said anything, Kou Zhun waved his hand. The other ministers were as if they were pardoned and fled in a panic. In the end, Li Changling was left.
He smiled and wanted to talk to Kou Zhun, but before he could speak, Kou Zhun started cursing!
"Are you brainless? Not to mention Mr. Ye, even I can't agree!" Kou Zhun said angrily: "Who doesn't know that the banks are doing their own thing, making the stock market collapse and the public opinion is fierce. Now, they are not punished at all. On the contrary, they have to get money from the treasury and overseas to fill holes for them. If this matter is spread, can you afford it or can I afford it?"
Kou Zhundian pointed at Li Changling's forehead and roared: "Don't forget that my master has arrived in the capital. With him here, your little tricks will not work at all! If you really annoyed Master, don't blame me for not being able to protect you!"
After being scolded by Kou Zhun, Li Changling's face turned pale and white. After all, he was the prime minister of the cabinet. He was taught a lesson like a student, and Li Changling was speechless.
But he also knew that now was not the time to act voluntarily. Without Kou Zhun blocking him, he would be a big fuck! He didn't even sound when he was released!
"That... Mr. Kou, you said that the plan of the subordinate is not good. I wonder what strategy Mr. Kou has?"
In one sentence, Kou Zhun was also asked.
He knocked on the table and said, "I asked you to make an idea, but you asked me instead? If so, I'd better give you the position of the Prime Minister to you, and I'll go home and hold my grandson!"
"Don't!"
Li Changling waved his hand quickly. He didn't have Kou Zhun's ability and courage, so how could he suppress the scene!
After pondering for a while, Li Changling sighed, "Grandpa Kou, let's change our thinking... What if we don't save the bank?"
Kou Zhun thought about it: "Kaifeng Bank is probably not guaranteed!"
"It's not just Kaifeng Bank, but also Dazhou Bank, Wells Fargo, Zhongyuan Investment Bank... In total, there are seven companies, and they will all close!"
Kou Zhun's face became darker and he said angrily: "What if they were asked to close the door?"
Li Changling smiled bitterly and said, "King Kou, it doesn't matter if the bank closes, but don't forget that when the bank is over, the stock market will collapse... and there is still a billion-dollar military reward in the stock market!"
"ah!"
Suddenly Kou Zhun was shocked and sweated in cold sweat, his face turned pale, and his hands and feet kept trembling!
How did this reward of 100 million yuan come from? It can be traced back to the Ye Hua era.
During Ye Hua's administration, he continued to use troops to the outside world and established seven governor territories. It was also stipulated that anyone who killed a barbarian could receive rewards ranging from five to ten taels.
Kou Zhun has also participated in this matter.
Over the years, these rewards have exceeded 100 million yuan.
At that time, the court could not afford so much, and those who received the reward might not use money immediately... Therefore, Ye Hua got a special fund to manage the money.
During Ye Hua's tenure, his investment direction was very conservative, mainly treasury bonds and infrastructure... The average interest rate of treasury bonds was about 7%, and the return rate of infrastructure was 12%. Compared with other products, it was more than twice as bad.
Fortunately, Ye Hua did not do anything to seek stability.
However, when Kou Zhun was in office, especially when the stock market soared and his profits rose one day, many people had the idea of this money. Especially under Li Changling's instigation, Kou Zhun finally nodded and allowed to take out part of the investment in the stock market.
Once the hole is opened, you can't hold it back.
The funds that had accumulated a total of one billion were continuously invested in the stock market and bond market... At its peak, the stocks were worth 3.5 billion!
But with the collapse of the stock market, there is only a pitiful 1.5 billion left, and it is just the account number, and no one takes over it!
"Mr. Kou, think about it, does it work if the stock market is not resurrected? Those Mr. Qiu Ba are different from the people of Cao Guo. They have guns in their hands. Once they make trouble, who can restrain them?"
Kou Zhun glared at Li Changling fiercely, "Are you all you? If you followed the rules of your master, how could such a big mess be caused? Otherwise... I went to discuss with those people that it was a reward of about 100 million, but it turned into a billion during the master's tenure. I gave it to them according to 100 million. I would be so famous, I will bear it alone!"
When Li Changling heard this, he waved his hand quickly, "Grandpa Kou, let alone whether those people would agree, even if it is 100 million, the court cannot take it out! Moreover, all banks are facing a bank run. If you don't make a decision quickly, we will collapse first!"
Kou Zhun was completely furious... Why did the bank run? It wasn't the gold in the treasury suddenly turned into fake, so why did the gold in the treasury disappear? It wasn't someone who stole it by stealing it, and using the method of carrying the five ghosts, he got the futures market!
After all, the problem lies in finance!
Those behind the banks are to blame!
Including the Li Changling in front of him, maybe he is the culprit.
Kou Zhun saw the matter clearly, clearly... But the question is what can he do? Will he let it go? Then let the bank collapse and the billions be destroyed?
Maybe the teacher has the courage and prestige, but he can't!
The collapse of the stock market has caused the cabinet to be in turmoil. If the warriors start to make trouble again, internal and external troubles will be in danger, and no one needs to say anything, he will have no shame to stay in the cabinet.
Kou Zhun is different from Wang Pu, Fan Zhi, and even Wei Renpu. He has ambitions and means. In the dynasty for many years, he has accumulated huge power.
The cabinet, various ministries, parliament, and local ranks are countless of them from the Kou family. To be honest, his men and women are still above Ye Hua!
It is better than the best!
Even if Kou Zhun risked his downfall and did not save the bank, could the people below agree?
Kou Zhun looked at Li Changling again, his eyes full of anger and helplessness!
Why did I accept these fools?
...
"Grandpa Ye, it is said that the Prime Minister and Grandpa Li have been discussing for three consecutive days. What should this cabinet do?" Lu Mengzheng shouted anxiously: "Grandpa Ye, if you don't come up with a solution, you can't even pay the salaries of all officials!"
The stock market collapsed, many large factories had funds broken down, production and operation stopped, logistics was blocked, and commercial taxes were sharply reduced... The treasury was also at the end of its reach.
Lu Meng was so worried that his hair turned white. He tentatively said, "Ye Xiang, if you still can't come up with a solution, can you ask the Marquis to come out?"
Lu Mengzheng is fifty years old this year. When he was young, he heard stories about champion Hou. The crises of the Great Zhou Dynasty were all resolved by champion Hou.
The situation is worse than ever now. Only Champion Hou can clean up the mess!
Ye Xi took a deep breath. After his father returned to Beijing, he met his old friend, the emperor and the queen, but he did not see his son.
My father would not sit idly by, but Ye Xi was not sure how to deal with this endgame, let alone the cabinet officials were unwilling to delegate power at all. Could it be that my father would launch a mutiny?
"Oh, I'm also indifferent now, let's take a look... If Mr. Kou can come up with a plan to save the situation, we will cooperate with all our strength to stabilize the crisis!"
As soon as Ye Xi's words fell... Suddenly, a clerk came over and sent a plan!
Ye Xi and Lu Mengzheng got together and watched together... The more they looked, the more angry they became. When they saw the end, Lu Mengzheng slapped the table with anger!
"Crazy!"
It's indeed crazy!
The cabinet actually followed Li Changling's plan completely... While increasing taxes overseas, it allocated huge sums of funds to inject funds into banks.
Although the importance of the bank was repeatedly mentioned behind the document, saying that the bank could not collapse, otherwise the losses would be too great and could not be dealt with... But in the eyes of discerning people, as the initiator of the crisis, the banker not only was not punished, but also received support from the court, and used the hard-earned money of the people to fill the black hole!
Right and wrong are reversed!
No distinction between black and white!
"They are seeking death!" Lu Mengzheng turned to Ye Xi suddenly and said to him: "Ye Xiang, at this point, I have to ask the Marquis to come forward. Only he can stop the cabinet!"
Ye Xi sighed, "My father is not a god. Kou Zhun dares to do this, just to bet on his own. He is too bet!"
Lu Mengzheng smiled helplessly, "If he uses his own wealth and life, he can bet at will! The problem is that he bets on the Great Zhou Dynasty! His heart is punished!"
Just after this plan was launched, the world was in full swing!
More than 100 scholars from Imperial University jointly issued a letter... They believe that the Cabinet's actions are equivalent to rewarding bad things and causing trouble. Not only will they not have to be punished, but they will also be rewarded!
The moral norms left by ancient sages and wise men have disappeared at this moment.
If the cabinet cannot withdraw the plan, the school will automatically stop teaching. The reason is very simple, and they can no longer teach students!
Don’t underestimate the scholars of Imperial University. They are all famous all over the world, including the emperor and the queen’s teacher. This article is like a super bomb, which detonated all dissatisfaction!
Kou Zhun also knew that his plan would be criticized. After discussing with Li Changling, he decided to convene an interim parliament... You should know that many parliamentarians do not live in the capital every day. Except for the formal meeting period, they have to go to various places to investigate the situation and understand the people's sentiments. This is an iron rule set by Ye Hua's period, in order to avoid politicizing parliamentarians.
Li Changling took advantage of this loophole and passed the plan with a slight advantage in the absence of 40% of the members of parliament... You should know that as many as 45 of the members of parliament were opposed to the plan!
This time, not only Wei Xianmei was angry, but also Lu Duan, who had always been at the same time, was furious!
This is the darkest day in history since the establishment of the parliament!
The cabinet has stolen power and destroyed decades of rules!
The East and West House immediately issued an order to summon absent members of parliament and jointly reject the cabinet plan... Their speed was fast, and some people were faster. Zhao Kuangyi, who had been dormant, decisively left Beijing. He took the train to Haizhou. Before boarding the ship to Tianzhu, he swore to everyone as the governor, that Tianzhu did not recognize the cabinet's orders and decided to temporarily cut off all contacts.
"There is no doubt that the subjects of the territory of India, including myself, are all loyal to the Great Zhou Dynasty and upright Han people! We will not rebel now, and we will never rebel! But we cannot sit idly by and watch the traitors in the cabinet and corrupt this country! They are not allowed to act against each other and harm the people!"
"In a word, the cabinet must fall!"
Chapter completed!
