Lan Ziyi was shocked when he heard this, he looked at the bustling crowd in front of him, and his jaw was about to fall to the ground. After closing his mouth again, Lan Ziyi grabbed the shoulder of the person in front of him and asked:

"Whose money bank is running out of money?"

The man turned back and said:

"It's Cao Ji Qianzhuang, the Cao Ji Qianzhuang opened by Cao Jinbao, who is known as the richest man in the world."

The person who spoke was originally a good person, and he liked to join in the fun, and now he was squeezed at the end of the line, and he couldn't get to the front, so he happily explained to Lan Ziyi when he had nothing to do. Although it is now the cold winter season, there are too many people crowded on this street, in the crowd, people actually have to roll up their sleeves and tear off their clothes to be cool, the person in front of Lan Ziyi is hot and keeps raising his hand to wipe his sweat, and the other hand is also holding a large handful of silver tickets to fan his chest, maybe this person is firepower, easy to sweat, anyway, he has to use his big hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead to the front of his head every time, maybe it is because he wipes sweat so much, the hair on his forehead is gone, and his forehead is smooth and greasy under the sunIf you pour some sesame oil and polish it, it can be used as a mirror.

Lan Ziyi looked at the person in front of him, estimating his identity in his heart, and the person was not seen, after Lan Ziyi took the initiative to talk, he gushed endlessly:

"This son, at first glance, you are a noble son, how about it, is there any silver in this Cao Ji Money Village? Did you make a fortune by reselling Cao's banknotes a few days ago? If you have it, hurry up and exchange it into cash, Cao Ji Qian Zhuang is finished. ”

Lan Ziyi wanted to ask about this person carefully, but he couldn't bear the bustle of the crowd on the street here, so Lan Ziyi said:

"Dissatisfied with the elder brother, the younger brother I did pinch a lot of banknotes in my hand, but I went to other places, and I just returned to Beijing by water today, I don't know what is going on. If the elder brother is willing to tell the younger brother about it, then please move the elder brother, let's find a restaurant and talk slowly, this is not the place to talk. ”

The man wiped a handful of sweat from his neck again, and he smiled:

"Childe, it's not that I don't want to go to the restaurant with you, it's just that you look around you, where is there a way out?"

Lan Ziyi looked back and found that he was already surrounded by people at some point, and he really had no way out. The man was very proud when he saw that his words shocked Lan Ziyi, and he said:

"Childe, you have not been in the capital for the past few months, and you don't know the details of the capital. In the past few days, the capital has been like this every day, and every day the gates of Cao Ji's major money houses are crowded with people, and the entire street is not allowed to pass, all in order to squeeze into the money houses to exchange paper money for silver. ”

Lan Ziyi couldn't get out at this time, and he also felt the heat of the crowd, so he asked while wiping his sweat:

"Then why do you do that?"

The man replied:

"Childe, don't you even know the news of the capital when you leave the capital? Cao Jinbao fell out of favor with the emperor! ”

Lan Ziyi asked:

"What do you mean by that?"

The human:

"In the past, when the imperial grain was distributed, the court only borrowed money from Cao Jinbao's family, but now it is different, now the court is borrowing silver from the newly opened Longsheng, so what is the origin of the Longsheng? The merchants who became shareholders in the Longsheng were all in dealings with the head of the dynasty, Zhang Mingyue, and they were all famous imperial merchants in the capital. ”

The father and son of the enemy family who were following Lan Ziyi and Tao Zhutu were also interested when they heard this person's words, and Tao Zhutu asked:

"I said this old brother, is it still a good thing for the court to borrow money? What if the court borrowed money? ”

The man patted his thigh and replied:

"What this master said is reasonable, I used to think so, so I didn't believe Cao Jinbao when he first issued banknotes, but then I believed it, why? It was because Cao Jinbao's banknotes could be exchanged for grain, and they could be exchanged for silver, and the difference between silver and grain could be earned, so I resold banknotes over there. Later, I also found that this banknote was quite good, and then I looked back and understood that the imperial court took a fancy to Cao Jinbao with such financial resources and ability, so he borrowed money from him, and also used Taicang's grain to give him banknotes as a guarantee. ”

Qiu Xiao smiled and said:

"So the court suddenly changed people to borrow money, which means that Cao Jinbao's financial resources have been damaged, and you won't be at ease if you take his banknotes again, right?"

That's humane

"This pedant, what you said is only one side of the truth, on the other hand, who the court borrows money from is actually who to support, he Cao Jinbao is no longer the only businessman in the court to borrow money, then he must have fallen out of favor with the emperor."

Lan Ziyi smiled:

"Brother, you can see people quite accurately, as soon as you open your mouth, you can recognize the identities of these us."

The man laughed:

"Childe, I'm a businessman, and I can't recognize people. I've said so much, so how much cash are you going to exchange today? ”

Lan Ziyi said:

"I came back in a hurry today, and I didn't bring the banknotes with me, so I'll go back and get them later. How much cash are you going to exchange, brother? ”

The human:

"I exchanged one hundred taels the day before yesterday, I exchanged two hundred taels yesterday, and today I plan to exchange another two hundred taels."

Lan Ziyi asked:

"You're so far in line that you can still redeem the silver?"

The human:

"Yes, as long as you get to the window, you can exchange the money."

Lan Ziyi said:

"In this way, Cao Ji Qian Zhuang is opening his mouth to exchange cash for everyone, so his family is not bad at all, why are you in a hurry to exchange money?"

The man waved his hand and said "hi":

"It's all pretended."

Lan Ziyi asked:

"Pretended? How do you say that? ”

The human:

"There is nothing to show, you can't show your ability, it's an old trick, there's nothing you can't see through. He Cao Jinbao is because the silver in the warehouse is almost bottoming out, so he has to let go of his hands and feet to repay the money and calm people's hearts. But so many people come to him to exchange silver, how many days can he last? Don't you know, childe? Cao Jinbao's silver vault was burned by the borrowed Yin soldiers on the day of the Winter Clothes Festival, and he had no silver. ”

Lan Ziyi was dumbfounded when he heard this:

"Huh?"

The man said:

"So I persuaded my son to hurry up and exchange the silver, no matter how late it is, there will be no chance."

Lan Ziyi said:

"I still don't think Boss Cao will be so finished, brother, I'm afraid you're not thinking too much."

The man said:

"Childe, don't joke about your own family, believe me, his Cao family will be doomed."

As he was talking, a convoy suddenly came from the front of the current, and the bustling crowd met the convoy and automatically separated like a mountain split by a divine sword, and people looked at the passing vehicles, which were full of boxes, and each box was covered with a wide open cover, and it was neatly stacked with silver, and the handlebars of the car shouted as they walked:

"Let's let go, let's let go, the silver that Longsheng picked up from Cao Ji is going home, let's let go."

People looked at the silver ingots that were brighter than the sun in the sky, and everyone did not relax until the convoy left, and when everyone finally realized that it had passed, they finally boiled, and the crowd flocked to the lonely boat-like silver trumpet in front of them with a more turbulent wave than just now, and everyone shouted with all their might:

"Let's go, Cao Ji's silver has been taken out!"
