I am the cook, but I am Li Er's son-in-law

This group of people in Tongfu Academy is the most intelligent group of people in Datang.

They can often see the subtleties, and a little wind is enough for them to capture the information contained in it.

嗏

There are always very few smart people. Although most of them feel the wind, even... the sound of the wind is fermenting in their ears, they still hold a little bit of luck.

Most people did not withdraw their deposits in Datang Bank.

The main reason is that the merchants in Chang'an City didn't move much, they kept their own law and order, and didn't go to Datang Bank to withdraw their savings.

Of course, everything is not as simple as it appears on the surface.

The so-called law-abiding is just an appearance.

Those merchants started to make trouble when the magazine first came out, but Li Tai came forward to discuss with these merchants one by one before they got to the public.

Those who were persuaded and trusted him left the money in the bank.

If he couldn't persuade them, Li Tai had no choice but to let them take the money away, but... at the same time, he also used his identity to coerce them, not to tell about the money taken away.

Under Li Tai's methods, Chang'an and Luoyang seemed to be calm.

But outside of these two places, it is not.

Especially Chengcheng, they were the first to know about this matter, more than [-] guan of money was defrauded - at the very beginning, the people of Chengcheng regarded it as a spectacle.

The lord was cheated, it was just a big commotion.

Until this issue of the magazine came over, it woke up the people of Chengcheng.

What kind of money does Datang Bank have?It just has a name, and the money in it is all deposited by you.

In fact, the prince was indeed cheated, but it was your money who was cheated!

only…

It is not clear who deposited the money that was defrauded.

So Chengcheng exploded.

All the common people, merchants, and even gentry who had deposited their money in the Datang Bank waved their deposits and rushed to the Datang Bank to withdraw money.

But... the money in the bank in Chengcheng is not enough for these people to withdraw.

The gentry came first, but they were not even given enough money.

In the past, they could still use the same excuse as Fengchao's - it took some time to prepare for a large withdrawal, but now this kind of rhetoric doesn't work.

The person who said he was going to prepare before had fled to nowhere with four hundred guan.

It was a big deal.

The county government brought people over to obstruct the two county lieutenants who wanted to use violence to suppress them. The people rushed up and broke their legs.

This matter was regarded as a civil disturbance by the county magistrate, and a memorial was submitted to the court overnight.

The next day, in the courtroom.

The matter was brought out.

"Oh? Is this really the case?" Li Shimin looked at his son with a cold voice.

Li Tai is currently in charge of offering sacrifices, so he doesn't often go to the court. He was hurriedly summoned this morning, and he had a bad premonition, and his words became a prophecy.

Li Tai bit the bullet and nodded: "It's true."

"The county magistrate of Chengcheng said that this is a civil disturbance, what do you think?" Li Shimin asked again.

Li Tai pursed his lips and didn't speak.

Changsun Wuji was still doing his best for his nephew, he stood up, cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, I dare to say something."

Li Shimin nodded noncommittally.

Changsun Wuji continued: "I believe that although there is a reason for this,...it is not His Royal Highness Wei's greed for ink, but the poor supervision of his subordinates, which caused people to swindle money, which led to such a trouble."

"These people have such extreme behavior for their own money, and it should be justified. It is really wrong to judge it as civil disorder."

"But... the county lieutenant was violent... It is also a fact that he was injured by civil violence, so the mob who broke the county lieutenant's leg should be dealt with."

Li Shimin didn't speak, just sneered.

What Changsun Wuji said can be divided into two parts.

The latter part has something to say, and it talks about how to deal with this matter, but... this thing is correct nonsense, and everyone knows how to deal with it.

But the key to this matter is not how to deal with it, but... why such a thing happened.

These people in the court hadn't heard the word "civil unrest" for a long time.

In other words, this word is almost insulated from Datang.

But this incident happened anyway, and there was a conflict with the county government, and two county lieutenants were injured.

The nature was so bad that Li Shimin was so angry that he didn't get a good night's sleep all night.

Now he is even angrier.

The previous part of Changsun Wuji's words was to excuse Li Tai - the implication was that Li Tai's death was a crime of ineffective supervision.

But the reason for these faults is not Li Tai's fault.

In fact, it is true.

Li Tai had no experience in running a bank, so it was inevitable that there would be some mistakes, but the mistakes could not be stopped, which caused a huge bitter fruit.

But what about responsibility?

As the owner of Datang Bank, Li Tai is not responsible for this responsibility, who else is qualified to undertake this responsibility.

However, Changsun Wuji's defense was not to defend Li Tai, he just put these things on the bright side, so that Li Tai could see clearly what he should do now.

These words finally made Li Tai calm down a little bit. He also thought of the things Li Shimin was thinking about, before his father said anything.

He took the first step and stood up, full of guilt: "Thank you, Mr. Zhao, for your kind words. The Datang Bank made such a mistake. I cannot absolve myself of the responsibility. I should take full responsibility for this matter."

"The matter of supporting the injured county lieutenants will be handled by the son-in-law."

"As for the common people... I also implore my father to forgive me and not to pursue it any further. A few hundred or a few thousand is a small matter, but to the common people, that is all they have."

To be honest, it seems that he is such a person who cares about the country and the people.

Li Shimin nodded his head, restrained his temper a bit, took a deep breath, and said softly: "In that case, I have agreed to your wish."

"You failed to supervise this matter and caused such a disaster, I will demote you as King Xu."

Fang Xuanling stood up and coughed twice: "Your Majesty, King Xu is still alive."

Li Shimin was stunned for a moment, and after thinking for a while, he remembered that there really was such a person in Datang.

His own younger brother is fatter than Li Tai. Originally, he was also appointed as a minister of the clan of Xinjiang, but...except for someone like Yin Xuan, after the gentry was suppressed, Li Shimin no longer cultivated him. The power of the clan.

Xu Wang has almost no sense of existence.

"Then I will demote you as King Jiang." Li Shimin quickly changed his words, and looked at Fang Xuanling while talking.

Fang Xuanling didn't make any movement, so he felt relieved.
