Because of Cui Wending's combination punch, the people don't need to rush to exchange banknotes for silver. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The people in the hall, you look at me, I look at you, it seems that they are still hesitating to continue exchanging silver.

At the critical moment, Gu Lao Er felt that he should also make some contributions as an old employee of Jin Guogong. He cleared his throat and shouted: "Since counterfeit banknotes can be exchanged for silver, what are you doing in a hurry to exchange banknotes?" ”

"Listen to my second child! Don't squeeze for silver, let's go back and do business! ”

Gu Lao Er was dressed in an ordinary straight out, and his speech effect was very different from that of a clerk in a bank uniform. Hearing Gu Laoer, who was also a common man, shouting, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly became relaxed. Some of the bold people sneered, as if laughing at themselves and as if laughing at the panicked people, waved their sleeves and walked out of the bank, deciding not to exchange the money.

Gradually, more and more people choose to believe in the value of banknotes. Soon, a quarter of the people left the bank hall and went back to work.

Cui Wending glanced at Gu Lao Er appreciatively, and nodded at Gu Lao Er nonchalantly.

However, Cui Wending, an old businessman, still has tricks.

Cui Wending waved his sleeves and said loudly: "Whether to exchange banknotes for silver is everyone's freedom." What the Jinqi Bank should do is to prepare the silver. The president of the bank will go to ask the prince of Jinguo to mobilize enough money to the third branch! I believe that Jin Guogong will not let the people suffer! Rest assured, I will be the father-in-law of the Duke of Jinguo, even if all the people of Tianjin come to exchange for silver, the third branch can hold on! ”

After Cui Wending said this, he came out of the crowd, stepped on his horse at the gate of the bank, and went in the direction of the Tianjin Acropolis.

The people in the hall looked at each other for a while, and gradually relieved their hearts. Grandpa Guo's father-in-law went to Grandpa Guo to ask for silver, and Grandpa Guo will definitely fully support the bank. Not to mention the people of Fanjiazhuang to run on the bank, it is the people of the entire Tianjin who come to run, and it is estimated that they can hold it.

The people no longer had any worries about not being able to redeem the money, and they were relieved about the value of the banknotes, and they left the third branch in groups.

Gu Lao Er looked at these people who left, breathed a sigh of relief, and secretly said that this turmoil had not expanded. These people have retreated from the line of fire, and when they return to various places in Fanjiazhuang, they will spread the news they saw in the third branch, so that more people will have confidence in the banknotes of Jinguogong.

Soon, a person with a counterfeit note walked into the third branch and asked, "Exchange counterfeit money here?" ”

On the evening of the 10th day of November, the generals under Li Zhi gathered in the second hall of the Tianjin Guogong Mansion and anxiously discussed the counterfeit money in the market.

Li Xing arched his hand and said: "Big brother, this time the counterfeit banknotes are menacing. A large number of counterfeit banknotes appeared in Tianjin and Shandong at the same time, impacting the people's confidence in banknotes. Because the third branch of Fanjiazhuang was willing to accept counterfeit banknotes, the people of Fanjiazhuang did not continue to run on the bank. But elsewhere in Tianjin, all the banks were run! ”

"A large number of banknotes have been exchanged for silver, and I heard that in some places in the south of Tianjin, because of the large number of counterfeit money, there are already many shops that refuse to accept banknotes."

When everyone heard Li Xing's words, they all frowned. Over the years, banknotes have developed into a common currency under Li Zhi's leadership, which has greatly facilitated the daily use of the people and prospered the commodity economy. If we go back to the age of silver, many commodity transactions will go back to the old ways, and they cannot be traded because of the problem of fineness.

The bigger problem is that the banks will be run, and if the banks are squeezed, then Li Zhi's prestige in the territory will be greatly affected.

Li Zhichao Han Jinxin asked, "Where did this counterfeit banknote come from?" How many? ”

Han Jinxin replied: "Grandpa Hui, fake money is pouring in from other provinces, and at present, the planners are very skillful and have a strict plan. And because counterfeit banknotes are highly realistic, they often circulate many times before they are discovered, which also makes it difficult for us to detect the source of counterfeit banknotes. ”

"The amount of counterfeit banknotes is huge. Judging from the situation in Tianjin, I am afraid that at least 100,000 taels of counterfeit banknotes pour into the territory of the state every day. Today is the first day that the problem of fake money was discovered by the bank, and it was discovered by the people, and there has been such a big problem, and I am afraid that the situation will be even worse in the future. ”

Yue Shande, the head of the bank, said anxiously: "Grandpa Guo, my subordinates are incompetent, but Jinqi Bank has encountered a big problem this time. The silver in stock at each branch was exchanged in one day. There is not much silver left in the coffers of the localities. Most of our silver is lent out as loans, where can we withstand such a rush from the people? ”

Li Zhi took a breath and nodded.

After walking a few steps back and forth in the hall, Li Zhi said: "President Cui Wending of the third branch of Fanjiazhuang has done a good job, admitting the practice of counterfeit money, and stabilizing the people's confidence in banknotes. ”

When everyone heard this, they all looked at Li Zhi's father-in-law, Cui Wending.

It is clearly more important to ensure that banknotes and the banking system are not washed away than the two pieces of silver needed to exchange counterfeit money.

Cui Wending, who was sitting at the back of everyone, laughed when he heard Li Zhi's words. However, Cui Wen's determination is not small, how can he get carried away because of Li Zhi's praise? He stroked his beard and sat upright without speaking.

Everyone looked at Cui Wending and felt that this old man really had some bearing, and he was afraid that he would do something under the command of the Duke of Jinguo in the future.

Li Zhi said: "Although fake money is rampant, we can still bear it. I announced that all the banks in Tianjin and Shandong would learn from the third branch of Fanjiazhuang and admit that this time it was enough to confuse the real fake money and take the initiative to bear the losses of the people. The shortfall caused by the acquisition of fake money by Jinqi Bank this time was allocated by the company's special financial funds."

Yue Shande, the manager of Jinqi Bank, was overjoyed when he heard Li Zhi's words, and laughed. Since Li Zhi admitted to the fake money, there would be no people coming to the bank to run on the silver, and the security of the banknote system and the banking system would not be impacted.

Li Xing gritted his teeth and said, "Big brother, then we have to bear more than 100,000 taels of fake money every day." And I estimate that there will be more and more fake money, and it is estimated that it will not be enough to absorb all our financial funds when the time comes. ”

Li Zhi nodded and said, "So we can't let the counterfeit money continue to flow into the collar." ”

Hong Chengchou took a breath and said, "Grandpa Guo, the space taken up by counterfeit banknotes is too small, and it is too easy to bring them in." If the crumbs hide the banknotes in their close-fitting clothes, we cannot let all the merchants and people who come and go take off and examine them carefully. Another example is someone hiding money in a dark hole in a cargo such as wood. If we want to control the inflow of counterfeit banknotes, even if we send tens of thousands of soldiers to carefully investigate, it is estimated that we will not be busy. ”

Li Zhi waved his hand and said, "Staff Officer Hong is right, we can't let merchants and travelers in, but we can hold back the counterfeit banknotes. This time the matter was urgent, and we sent 40,000 soldiers to block the roads and close the border, temporarily cutting off trade with other provinces of the Ming Dynasty. ”
