Looking at the group of people around them nodding their heads, the two masters were too addicted, "You are also well-informed, that's right, Xiao Lotian is indeed competing with the court again, but this time it was not Xiao Lotian who made trouble in advance, but the court took the initiative to provoke him......"

"Originally, Lotte Bank's issuance of household bonds was formed by using the tax white slips owed by the governors to the imperial court to demolish the small ones, and the household department gave Xiao Lotian 10 million white strips, and Xiao Lotian issued 10 million bonds......"

"Some people will say, what is Xiao Lotian's picture? It costs more to print bonds...... You don't understand this, the household department gives Xiao Lotian bonds are all discounted, I don't know how much the specific discount, but one and a half is still no problem......"

"In this way, you should understand, the court gave Xiao Letian 10 million taels of white strips, and Xiao Letian gave the court 8.5 million taels of cash silver, of course, you can also use the materials urgently needed by the imperial court, such as the foreign guns needed by the Xishan New Army or something......"

"This is actually a happy situation, the court white slip turned into money, Lotte Bank earned silver, and the hundred officials got a lot of money...... Don't talk about the run, since it is the tax that the local governor owes to the imperial court, then they have to admit it, so these bonds issued by Xiao Letian should also be collected as tax silver......"

"It's like Boss Tian's teahouse, you can go to the street to buy grain with bonds, you can also go to the south to buy new tea, and you can even pay it to the court as tax silver, so there is no difference between this bond and silver, what do you say?"

The teahouse couldn't stop nodding, "Isn't it, when someone first took out this bond to spend it, I didn't dare to ask for it, and then I saw that the grain merchants in Nancheng had collected these bonds, and I saw that people were not afraid of selling grain, what am I afraid of, so I collected it...... Not to mention, it's really easy to use, at least you don't have to use scissors to wring silver slag back and forth......"

"Right...... It was a very good thing, but someone was going to smash the pot, and what the court did this time was really a bit unauthentic, and actually bribed a Ryukyu official who could print bonds, and stole the process of printing money, and the court wanted to steal the seal by itself!"

"You all know that this bond itself is a piece of paper, he is not silver, why people believe in him, it is because they believe that in a few years this thing can be exchanged for silver, and the court can accept this thing as tax silver......"

"If there is no silver tael in the treasury of the imperial court, but you can print as much as you want, then what will be the result? Sooner or later, it will end up with the treasure money of the Ming Dynasty......

"What is a treasure banknote......?" someone in the crowd asked.

Ding Sanye squeezed the last bit of ink out of his stomach, and only then did he roughly explain it to people, and when they knew that the purchasing power of the bonds in their hands was likely to drop sharply, they were all angry all of a sudden.

"How good is this, it's easy to loosen up a little bit at hand, why is there a moth again......"

Second Master Ma sneered, "Now I know why we eat and drink so much, right......?

"I'll tell you this, my family's bonds have already spent more than half of it, and the food saved is enough to eat until next autumn, and the New Year's goods have been prepared early...... God knows what kind of bond market it will be in the future!"

"No, I also have to go shopping, or the second master is right, it's safe to put things in your hands......"

Just when the shopkeeper urged Xiao Er to hurry up to the street to spend money, suddenly there was a burst of noise on the street, and many people trotted all the way to the entrance of the street, and the people in the teahouse didn't understand what was going on, and looked out of the cotton curtain one by one.

"Cow ...... What's the matter? Is this the other way around......

"Second Master Ma, don't drink tea...... Let's go to the street corner and take a look, the Daqing Minbao of the year has begun to print again!"

When people heard it, they were fried, and the Daqing Minbao was an indelible memory in the hearts of the people of Sijiu City, when the imperial court and Xiao Letian started a war in Tanggu, the sky was full of small leaflets and Daqing Minbao.

Later, I heard that the court and Xiao Lotian had reached a reconciliation, and the first condition of the court was that Xiao Lotian was not allowed to print such demagogic things again.

"It's bad, Xiao Letian is going to fight back, I'll just say that he is not a good bully, how can he suffer this dumb loss!" A group of people rushed out without even settling the tea money.

All the streets of the city were crowded with people, and the literate man was in the middle of the recitation aloud, "...... The imperial court, as the co-ruler of the Qing Dynasty, acted as a villain...... On the surface, it seems to be to clean up the household and pay off the debts, but in fact, it is secretly to steal people's property...... The disaster of Yuanming treasure banknotes is not far off......"

"After the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs, the people of the Central Plains who wantonly enclosed the land were not able to make a living, and the people were miserable...... How the rebellion of the three feudatories arose was not unrelated to the harm of the Manchu enclosure...... Now that the Manchus are trying to make money, they can't do it? Without the collateral of physical gold and silver, what is the difference between indiscriminate issuance of paper money and robbers......

......

No matter how the Manchus whitewashed, the root cause of the rebellion of the three feudatories was also inseparable from the previous imperial court's expropriation and extortion.

The enclosure was to rob all the interests of the Han landlord class, no wonder the three feudatories dared to mess up, at that time there were indeed a large number of victimized landlord class in that environment, and Wu Sangui and others did not dare to really make trouble without that popularity.

Of course, there are many interpretations of history, and there are very complicated reasons for the major decisions made by historical figures, but this does not prevent the people's newspapers from taking things out of context.

Sure enough, this half-literate newspaper style is too down-to-earth, and even the illiterate old man next to him can understand it when he reads it.

The officials of Shuntian Mansion rushed in from the crowd, "Get out, get out...... Whoever looks at it and eats the board carefully! Get out of the way and go home, don't find yourself unhappy ...... in the big wax moon."

was booming, and suddenly there was a loud bang in the sky, and a large leaflet flew down like snowflakes, and the big words "enclosure and money" on it were shocking.

The whole Sijiu City was completely chaotic, and the people did not dare not believe such rumors, and all the people who had bonds in their hands began to desperately rush to buy goods, from grain to cloth to oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, and the atmosphere of the good Laba Festival was all destroyed at once.

The price of goods in Beijing has soared, the price of grain has risen by 30 percent a day, the price of meat has soared to 50 percent, and other daily necessities such as cloth have also increased by 3 or 4 percent.

At the extraordinary meeting of the Forbidden City in the afternoon of the same day, the empress dowager of the two palaces had a rare unanimity, condemning Xiao Letian's demagogic behavior, and ordered the whole city to post notices to refute the rumors, saying that the imperial court had not stolen the formula from beginning to end.

He urgently met with the Ryukyu officials stationed in Beijing, but the answer he received was that he did not know anything, and that night the newspaper had begun to spread throughout Gyeonggi.

The whole Zhili was in an uproar.
