In this spring that should be picturesque, Yangzhou City is a sense of storm.

There is no doubt that what caused all this was the shopping mall war that Xiao Han set off in order to retaliate against Yangzhou.

Nowadays, although the business war has passed, many people can still be seen on the streets, either carrying blankets or driving cars.

These people, no matter what means of transportation, have one thing in common, that is, in the car, or on the back of a bulging pocket.

In the pockets, all of them were heavy copper coins.

"Today? Did you redeem it? ”

This sentence seems to have become the opening sentence of Yangzhou people greeting each other.

Compare that with the words, "Did you eat today?" "I guess no one cares about you.

Those who were still waiting in line outside a few shops to redeem the money were worried, and those who had already redeemed the money did not see much joy on their faces.

The fluttering silver ticket has become a heavy copper coin again, which has no impact on ordinary people.

After all, all their belongings are only a few dozen, and anyone who can have a hundred or so dollars can be regarded as a wealthy family.

These people are not very keen on travel and money. Silver tickets, or copper coins, actually don't change much, they are just money that can be spent.

However, this change is undoubtedly a heavy blow to the merchants in Yangzhou, especially those in large and medium-sized businesses!

It is said that it is easy to go from thrift to luxury, and it is difficult to go from luxury to thrift.

In the same way, from complex to simple, from simple to difficult!

In the past, a few silver tickets could be done with a single slip in your pocket.

Now, it has returned to the point where you have to count the copper coins one by one and make a slightly larger transaction, and your tired wrists hurt!

Copper smells, copper smells!

finally used the silver ticket, stained with a little ink fragrance, and in an instant, it was re-typed again.

"Hey, Boss Ma, what do you say this is called? I got the copper coins back, but I had to pour out a room to store them! And you say save it, this day and night, you have to worry about thieves stealing! ”

Today, on a painting boat in Slender West Lake, several familiar faces sighed and drank together, and even the dancing dancing girls lost their former attraction to them.

Ma Lao Liu picked up the wine glass and drank the wine in the glass in one gulp.

In the past, the wine here was his favorite!

But since that day I drank the taste of the spirits, the taste of this wine has really become light as water.

"Phew!"

turned his head and spit out all the residual wine in his mouth into the lake, Ma Lao Liu raised his sleeves, wiped his mouth, and said angrily:

"Alright, you're done! Yesterday, the landlord of that village came to exchange a cart of money in a hurry! As a result, I was robbed by thieves on the way back! Tsk, even the cart and the donkey were robbed, and not even a whip was left! Fortunately, those thieves only seek money, not death! No, the landlord and the servants together can be regarded as picking up a small life. ”

One of the people at the same table nodded when he listened, and when Ma Lao Liu finished speaking, he also said, "I also heard about this!" Those thieves tied the landlord and the servants to the trees, and they froze all night, and almost didn't freeze to death! It was only this morning that he was discovered, and he was sent home to recuperate! This incident is said to have caused a lot of trouble, and even the county lord was furious, and personally ordered the head catcher to catch the thief, but I don't know if he can catch it. ”

"I don't know if I can catch it?" Ma Lao Liu's eyes widened, and he snorted coldly: "Do you still need to ask?" Yangzhou is so big, where to arrest people? Those thieves are all masked, and after robbing, they bury the money and take off their masks, even if they are standing in front of the head catcher, can the head catcher still recognize them? ”

"Hey, that's what I said!" When the person who spoke just now heard this, he also sighed, arched his hand and said: "But there is no way, no one dares to use the silver ticket now!" If a few bosses do business and bring more money out, it is best to hire a few more people, and the province will be remembered by thieves. Hey, I don't know if there will be any more silver tickets in the future. ”

A sigh, everyone was speechless.

Ma Lao Liu glanced at the wine jug on the table and nodded gloomily: "No one can say for sure about the silver ticket, but it's always right for the brothers to pay attention!" As for hiring people, you still can't save the money you should spend, damn it! Who would have thought that now everyone is losing money, but the martial arts hall alone is making money, and in the past few days, the cost of hiring a person has risen by 30%! Blacker than all of us! Phew! ”

The only one who can do business so confidently is Ma Lao Liu!

When several people at the same table heard this, they could only twitch the corners of their mouths and look at each other and smile bitterly.

Under the great tide, there is no one who is not affected!

Even if it doesn't even look like it can hit the martial arts hall, isn't it also implicated?

Of course, the martial arts hall was implicated, and it was quite positive! Like other industries, most of them don't have such good luck, so they can only be unlucky together.

Yangzhou cloth line.

As the most affected point this time, these days, I haven't done a single transaction!

Now, the run has almost passed, and people's hearts have gradually stabilized.

While breathing a sigh of relief, the shopkeeper of the cloth shop is also hurriedly putting the delayed business back on the agenda, after all, even if their family has a big business, they can't wait to sit and eat.

"Now, it's time for the spring silkworm! Don't look at the business that is not good now, but the imperial court is seeking stability this year, so the year must be better than last year, so this year's silk ......"

In the cloth shop, the big shopkeeper was sitting in a precarious position, and he was assigning tasks to the shopkeepers under his hands with a serious expression, but he didn't expect to say a few words, when he heard a sudden footsteps outside, which disrupted what he was about to say.

"Big shopkeeper!"

The footsteps stopped when they reached the door, and then soon, a steward didn't even bother to say hello, and hurriedly pushed the door in!

Seeing this, the big shopkeeper of the cloth shop who was sitting at the head of several people frowned, suppressed his anger and shouted at him: "What! Are there any rules, what are the things that make you not even announce? ”

The steward who had just entered the door was drunk by the big shopkeeper, and his whole body trembled, and he replied with fear in his eyes: "Yes... I'm sorry for the big shopkeeper! But outside, something big happened! ”

"Huh?" The shopkeeper of the cloth shop was obviously taken aback by this, and stood up with a "Teng" and said sharply: "What's the matter!" Is there another run? ”

"It's not!"

The steward hurriedly waved his hand to deny, and then did not wait for the big shopkeeper of the cloth store to relax, but then followed: "It is the silk on the market that has been purchased first!" ”

"All bought?" The shopkeeper of the cloth shop was stunned for a moment when he heard the news, and then glared at the steward and asked, "Who is it?" ”

The steward raised his head tremblingly and replied in a low voice: "It's the Xiao family, and it's all accepted by the Xiao family!" ”
