Chapter 211: There are always so many who don't have eyes
The money bank ticket number of the Ming Dynasty has nothing to do with the ordinary small people or even small and medium-sized landlords, and there are naturally two kinds of rich people in this era, one kind of noble officials, and another kind of gentry and wealthy merchants.
The nobles have just returned their money, and they have money and great power at the same time. Naturally, there is no need to store money in the bank to facilitate turnover, but the officials rely on that kind of meager income, if they have the money in their hands to deal with the bank, this source must not be very clean.
As for the gentry and wealthy businessmen, this is especially the case, the businessmen in this era are all concerned about making money, and after making money, they buy land around the money in their hands, and become landlords, which is a normal development path, and the world's taxes are so heavy, there will be too much silver left in the hands of serious businessmen, not to mention dealing with money villages.
Therefore, if the silver stored in the money bank's ticket number is not clean on every tael and every centimeter, it must be an exaggeration, and if it is said that half of the silver is from a legitimate source, I am afraid it is also false.
Accepted bribes and stolen silver, private salt profits, maritime turnover, these money in the money in the stock is really a lot, Yangzhou is now one of the most prosperous places in the world's commerce, silver money turnover, procurement of goods are the most convenient places, the only one that can be compared with him is Suzhou and Songjiang.
Therefore, those people who have a large amount of foreign wealth in the coast choose to store their money in Yangzhou and Suzhou, and it is quite convenient to turn over each other. There are also vague rumors that even the pirates at sea use their agents to store their money in these places and use it to trade and store goods.
The same is true of the Xia family, although they are in the maritime family in southern Fujian, but Fujian does not have such an accessible money village, but the huge maritime trade, as well as the procurement of goods, sometimes it is really inconvenient to carry too much cash, just with Jiang Feng agreed, in Yangzhou, Suzhou, and Nanjing to find a ticket number that can be exchanged between the north and the south, and exchange it for silver tickets to settle profits, so that both sides are also convenient.
Jiang Feng went to Zhejiang this time, and his original plan was to buy a boat to build his own fleet, thinking that this thing is indispensable for silver, and the silver tickets in his hands are some of the Datong money houses in Nanjing, which are the money houses of the Xu family of Wei Guogong as the backstage, but they did not pass through Nanjing on the way, that is, these silver tickets of the Xia family were on the way to the canal, so they simply withdrew them this time.
Although he has basically integrated into this era, the inertia of Jiang Feng's thinking brought from modern times still makes him follow some of the views of his previous life when thinking about certain things.
For example, he always regarded this money bank as the same thing as the bank, so he was quite relieved and bold after withdrawing the money, and he didn't think about so many things at all.
The sky gradually got dark, and although the various Qinglou tea shops in Yangzhou City were still brightly lit, singing and laughing, other places were still slowly quiet. After midnight, except for the painting boat on the Slender West Lake, which is still open, the other places are gradually closed for rest.
Dozens of soldiers patrolling the city walked silently on the street with lanterns, which was actually similar to the nature of the police cars we are patrolling the street at night, dozens of soldiers walked to the door of the inn where Jiang Feng was, the front one blew out the lantern, and the rest of the people quickly gathered in front of the door.
During the day, the guards at the gate of the Daping were all among these soldiers, and the Daping naturally knew what the Xia family was doing, and such silver often did not dare to make a noise. The Xia family is a bunch of outlaws, and Daping naturally doesn't dare to provoke easily, but Jiang Feng, a wealthy man like Jiang Feng, who looks like a rustic foreigner, they are not afraid, your money is originally from the wrong way, even if I rob the money, you don't dare to say anything.
Did you go to the official and say that the silver smuggled in the hands of the villain was robbed, and asked the master of Qingtian to be my master, since the two years of Jiajing's two years of the Wakou Ouchi and Hosokawa fought for tribute and killed the Ming officials, even if it is a big crime to go to sea to fish. If you still dare to go to sea to smuggle, wouldn't it be a killing person?
Daping was originally a medium ticket number in Yangzhou, and it slowly became so big, because the heart was ruthless and dared to eat black, and the merchants who did not have any background and did not have the right way to come from the silver, in the hands of the Daping number, they did not know how much they had suffered. However, as the Daping gets bigger and bigger, there are some things in Yangzhou City that can't be done without finding the Daping, and the Daping also knows that the things he does are too angry and resentful, so although there are more and more outlaws under his hands, he is becoming more and more cautious.
However, people with real backgrounds in Yangzhou know in their hearts that the boss behind the Daping is a certain nobleman in Nanjing, so even if many things go to the government, they are naturally biased.
The Da Ping strongman dressed as these soldiers outside the door began to bang on the door vigorously, and after a while, he heard a vague shout from inside:
"It's so late, it's closed, and I don't accept guests......"
The strong people outside were obviously familiar with such a situation, and one person shouted in a thick voice:
"The inspection of the patrol soldiers and horses, someone on the dock said that you have bandits living here, hurry up and open the door!"
There was a knock on the door, and the voices of the people inside became clear, and he hurriedly said:
"This is coming, this is coming."
The door of the inn creaked open, and the dozens of soldiers outside were covered with black cloth on their faces, and as soon as the door opened a crack, the five or six people in front of it crashed into it. The door of the inn was slammed open, and people outside swarmed in, only to realize that something was wrong after entering.
It stands to reason that when he rushed in, the guy who opened the door was about to be knocked over, but the person didn't know where he had gone, and the entire lobby of the inn was pitch black. The people of the Daping quickly reacted in the back and took out the fire fold and lit the lantern, and the dark lobby space suddenly brightened.
Five or six paces away from them, there stood two rows of people, and in the middle of them sat the rich man surnamed Jiang, who had gone to take out five thousand taels of silver during the day.
Jiang Feng looked at the soldiers in front of him who were covered in black cloth and wearing terracotta uniforms. With a smile on his face and some remorse, he said:
"Why didn't I think of your way to make a fortune, or this is the fastest way to make money!"
Speaking of which, in the modern economic system, banks are at the top of the economy, banks make money from businesses, and businesses make money from workers and consumers. I didn't expect that in the Ming Dynasty, there was such an advanced way, as a bank's money bank directly grabbed money in the hands of customers, eliminating all kinds of procedures in the middle, which was really ahead of the times.
According to the previous experience, their faces were covered with black cloths, and they rushed in with knives in their hands, and the other party was either frightened, or knelt on the ground and begged for mercy and shouted for help, and the acquaintances took out the silver as required.
So the Daping has been doing this kind of black and black business for so long, and there are really not many lives in his hands, and he doesn't dare to say anything anyway.
After being stunned for a while, these people from the Daping reacted, and one of the leaders shouted in a low voice in the middle:
"There are a lot of us, rush up and fight first!"
The people standing in the first row had no weapons in their hands, and the people who saw this Da Ping suddenly became emboldened, raised their knives and rushed over.
Jiang Feng and the people in the first row all squatted down, and the one in the middle of the iron ding behind them was holding a long torch with a thick pipe, and the fire rope had been lit to the primer.
The muzzle of the gun was pressed very low, and the few people who rushed to the front directly felt severe pain in their lower bodies, and one of them threw themselves on the ground. The reaction of these people on the Daping is not slow, and when they look at this firecracker, they know in their hearts that this rich man can't afford to offend, so run. But even if the front team becomes the back team, it will be too late.
Outside, there were dozens of men in strong suits holding bright weapons, looking coldly at the Daping guards covered in black cloth......
Whenever there is such a black and black operation, the shopkeeper and the account office of the principal are waiting here, because the stolen silver money and silver tickets must be dealt with as soon as possible, so as not to show the horse's feet.
However, this kind of business has been done for nearly ten years, and there has been no stubble, and they are all coming back soon, so the shopkeeper and the account room are quite leisurely drinking tea and chatting in the backyard living room. Black and black business, they can have a lot of oil and water left in their hands, so these people are also very interested.
There was a knock at the back door, and the tent waiting in the back stood up at once, and someone outside shouted in a low voice:
"It's done, open the door."
The people inside the Daping were all smiling, and the tent hurriedly went over to open the door, muttering in their mouths, 'I did it today, and I will come back quickly'. As soon as the door opened the tent, he was stunned, and the leader of the guards who went out stood next to a person with his head bowed, and the person next to him said with a smile:
"Some of your people are injured, after all, we also have business friendships, so I sent them to you."
In the courtyard of the Daping, the shopkeeper and the rest of the people were frozen there, and they couldn't run if they wanted to. Seeing that the guards of the Daping were either carried or sent in, Jiang Feng, who was standing at the front, clasped his fists and said with a gentle smile:
"The business is a little urgent, and I urgently need cash turnover, so please exchange my silver ticket for 200,000 taels of silver!"
While taking out the silver ticket, the Daping account room standing in front of him took the silver ticket in Jiang Feng's hand with trembling hands, counted it in the light of the lights, and suddenly screamed, but suddenly stopped his voice and whispered:
"This is only a silver ticket of 150,000 taels!?"
Jiang Feng didn't speak, he looked at the shopkeeper on the side with a smile, the shopkeeper's face was pale and uncertain, looking at the wailing guards on the side, as well as those silent but murderous men, he gritted his teeth in a trembling voice and said:
"Redeem, redeem it, don't delay Master Jiang's affairs."
