Chapter 535: Qian Zhuang's counterattack
As the business of the 19 Daming Central Bank gradually stabilized and became proficient, the common people and businessmen believed that the Daming Central Bank, which was supported by the national treasury, was too rich.
After all, the money bank is only private, and the more ones are supported by millions of taels of silver, and the less ones are even only two or three hundred thousand taels, and there are often some fake tickets, and the money bank goes bankrupt and the people suffer losses.
The central bank of the Ming Dynasty is different, with the current emperor and the court as a guarantee, as long as the court does not fall, the central bank will not fall.
Because of the strong advantages of the central bank, the money bank has almost no competition power in front of the central bank, and a large number of people and businessmen take out the money originally stored in the money bank and transfer it to the central bank, so the money bank has been squeezed, and the money merchants who are at the helm behind them are almost forced to a desperate situation.
Originally, the people and businessmen just took back the money they had originally deposited, and the money bank spit it out, it was not the money bank's own. However, when these banks used to absorb real money and exchange it for silver tickets, they would also over-issue silver tickets and invest more money elsewhere, and the denomination of the bank's silver bills was often more than the customer funds he actually owned. This would be nothing in normal times, but now that the people are withdrawing the original money from their bank, it will be a big problem, and the real money that the bank has is not enough.
The largest money bank group in Daming is Huitong Money Zhuang and Datong Money Bank, the controller behind Huitong Money Village is the Tang family, and the control behind Datong Money Village is the Song family, the two have developed for more than 100 years, relying on the two big money to absorb real money and silver and turn to continuous investment, earning a huge amount of gold and silver for the two families, the two are the rich businessmen of the wealthy businessmen, almost the existence of the rich rival country.
However, at this moment, the wealthy businessmen of these two wealthy businessmen have been forced to be anxious by the central bank of the Ming Dynasty.
In a teahouse of the Song family.
"Brother Tang, in order to deal with the merchants and people who keep coming to exchange real money, my Song family has begun to sell part of the property, if it goes on like this, it won't take ten days, even if my Song family doesn't fall directly, it will be greatly damaged, and it will be reduced to a second-rate merchant from then on. As far as I know, your Tang family is probably no better, right? The head of the Song family said to the head of the Tang family.
The two were originally in a competitive relationship, and they were all dead and alive in the mall, but at this moment, facing life and death, both families abandoned their previous suspicions and faintly united together.
"Yes, the situation of my Tang family is similar to that of your Song family, and it will last for ten days." The head of the Tang family did not hide that since the two families intended to unite, they had to be honest with each other, which was a matter of principle for them as businessmen.
"In the past few decades, my two families have risen by relying on the hidden gold and silver gathered by the money bank, and in order to expand more industries and become the wealthy businessmen in the wealthy businessmen, there are not a few people who have offended my two families, once my two money houses can not continue, the family will also be greatly injured, and the enemy who was afraid of the financial resources of our two families and did not dare to act rashly will definitely take the opportunity to attack it, and then the head of the Tang family did not continue, but he and the head of the Song family both understood that once that situation occurred, the two families would not end well, Not much worse than death.
When the two heads of the family said this, they glanced at each other.
"In short, if there is no countermeasure, both of us will die!" The head of the Song family said with a gloomy face.
"Yes, my two must not sit still, the Ming Central Bank is the lifeblood of my two families, as long as the Ming Central Bank is still there, my two will die! The court is unkind, if you want to force my two families to death, then our two families can't be benevolent, we must do something to save the current unfavorable situation! The head of the Tang family also said with a ruthless face, and his words revealed the meaning of going to war with the Central Bank of Daming, which was arrogant.
The head of the Song family nodded, and the two families reached a consensus.
"You and I have been running a money bank for more than a hundred years, although the money printing technology is not as powerful as the central bank of the Ming Dynasty with the support of the imperial court, but there is no problem with imitating seventy percent, the bank may be recognized, but ordinary people contact the central bank's silver dollar banknotes for the first time, but they may not be able to recognize, as long as counterfeit money is flooded in the market, it will inevitably cause panic among the people, and the situation encountered by the central bank will be worse than that of our bank, and at that time, even if the central bank has the support of the imperial court, it will only fall down if it loses its credibility." The head of the Tang family said with a smile.
Both families knew that letting the Daming Central Bank fall was the only way to save the two of them. It's just that the imperial court has strictly ordered anyone who dares to make counterfeit money of the central bank to be killed once caught, once the two of them really do that, it is almost equivalent to a direct confrontation with the imperial court, the so-called people do not fight with the officials, not to mention the entire imperial court, there are many dangers, it is like fighting with the lives of the whole family, once the incident happens, I am afraid that it will be beheaded all over the house, and the consequences will be serious.
Thinking of the serious consequences that might occur, the head of the Song family hesitated a little.
"Brother Song, what else is there to hesitate about, could it be that your Song family has some other clever plan?" The head of the Tang family asked.
The head of the Song family shook his head, apart from this method, where else is there any other strategy.
"Brother Song, isn't he afraid that the court will investigate and find out that my two families will come out, and my two families will inevitably die?" The head of the Tang family asked.
The head of the Song family glanced at the head of the Tang family, and asked helplessly: "Since Brother Tang knows the possible consequences, isn't he the slightest worried?" ”
The current Ming Dynasty is not the Ming Dynasty during the Chongzhen period, the current Ming Dynasty has just re-unified the world, and even conquered Mongolia, it can be seen that the strength of today's court, as well as the current emperor, that is the majesty of the killing, although they are the two Tang and Song Dynasty merchants among the wealthy businessmen, it also takes a lot of determination to dare to touch the tiger's beard, and to gamble with their lives.
The head of the Tang family sneered: "What's the use of knowing? Could it be that without my two hands, the Ming Central Bank will fall by itself? Brother Song also said just now, sit back and wait to die, my two families also have no good end, not much worse than death, so why don't you dare to give it a go! ”
"After all, the imperial court also needs evidence, without evidence, even if the imperial court suspects my two families, it will not do anything to my two families in full view, sit back and wait to die, and only by taking the initiative can there be a glimmer of life!"
The two have risen for a hundred years, and their subordinates have a certain strength, as long as they are operated properly, they will not be easily caught with evidence, without evidence, the court will not be able to block Youyou's mouth, and they will not be moved, the head of the Tang family thinks so.
"Okay, the court is unkind, and it wants to force my two families to death, rather than sit and wait to die, it is better to give it a go!" The head of the Song family paused, and said with a ruthless face, which can be regarded as firmly agreeing with the idea of the head of the Tang family.
At this point, the two families have reached a thorough consensus and are ready to rely on the technology of their own money banks to imitate a large number of silver dollar banknotes of the central bank, so that they will flow into the market on a large scale and cause panic among the people, and eventually destroy the credibility of the central bank.
