Chapter 1658 The official Dali Temple

"But the court was forced to fight, and the war required money. The national treasury was empty, so we could only use the money house as a tool to issue national debts. Even the court borrowed money from the money house and took away 20 million taels at one time. The money and the interest on the national debts all need to be borne by the money house. This is a huge hole."

Liu Sichun felt more and more worried as she spoke. She said: "If the war goes well and the court returns with great victory, then the money can naturally be brought back from the Liao Kingdom with interest. The war compensation is an astronomical figure, let alone other things. But if the war is tight or even a defeat, then the 20 million deposits that have been withdrawn alone will be enough to crush the bank."

"So, those businessmen have a keen sense of smell and have their own information sources in the court. It makes sense to flee in advance. After all, merchants are seeking profits and cannot expect them to lose their wealth and lives to accompany the court."

The shopkeeper smiled bitterly and said, "The problem is that. Now all kinds of rumors among the people are flying everywhere, and there are many people. Nowadays, only the first batch of merchants are taking away money, and there will definitely be more and more in the future. Once the total amount of money is greater than the cash deposited by the money house, the money house will have no money to repay, but it will be troublesome."

“There is still a way.”

Liu Sichun thought of Professor Li Chenzeng's method and said decisively: "If you send the order, the sub-colons across the country will post notices at the door of the money shop. From tomorrow, the interest on the money shop will increase by 10%.

The shopkeeper's eyes lit up and immediately understood, and said in surprise: "Boss Liu means to attract more deposits by increasing deposit interest, and the most important thing is to consolidate the people's hearts?"

Liu Sichun smiled slightly and said, "You can do it according to the regulations."

After Liu Sichun finished the money shop, he was about to go back to take care of the Liu family's business when a team of officers and soldiers came towards him.

Seeing the officers and soldiers heading straight for him with a strong sense of purpose, Liu Sichun frowned slightly and stood there.

"You are Liu Sichun?"

The leader was a middle-aged official wearing a fifth-rank official uniform in the court, but Liu Sichun did not know him.

"It's the little girl, how dare you ask me what advice you have?" Liu Sichun said in a humble and arrogant manner.

The official said with a sarcastic smile: "I dare not take advice, I need to take you back to the yamen to investigate some things."

Liu Sichun immediately became alert when she heard this. She said in a deep voice: "Dare you ask what your identity is and in what name you want to take away the little girl?"

The official seemed to know some of Liu Sichun's background. Although he was tough, he still followed the process and said in a deep voice: "This official, Dali Temple and Qian Kangtai, was ordered to investigate the case of collusion between the Liu family and the imperial officials and corruption and abuse of the law."

"Did you hear it clearly?"

Liu Sichun frowned slightly, realizing that this was definitely a conspiracy against him and even the entire Liu family.

Dali Temple, the Ministry of Justice, and the Censorate, together call the Three Departments. The so-called Three Departments’ Trials is a form of joint trial of cases by these three departments. However, those who can use the Three Departments’ Trials’ Trials are all senior officials of the court and even royal relatives, and all the cases involved are major cases.

However, although the three departments are all real power departments of the laws of the Qin Empire, the Ministry of Justice is more like a real power executive body, while the Censorate is a discipline inspection and supervision body. As for Dali Temple, it is the highest judicial body.

However, there is no clear division of powers between the three, but no matter what, Dali Temple has the absolute right to take on people.
