Under the order of the government, the major money banks and silver accounts had to open their doors and continue to operate. In front of each money village, the imperial court sent a large number of officers and soldiers to guard it to help maintain order.

The money bank began to exchange money, copper coins, silver coins, and gold coins, all of which were not refused.

Everything is according to the original rules, such as large exchanges, which need to be booked in advance. As for the fixed deposit certificate, there is no interest on the exchange at this time.

For each order, the numbers must be carefully counted before leaving the cabinet, and then signed and other processes.

All counters are open, but the exchange is still quite slow, and there are long queues outside the banks.

"Leader, what should we do now?"

Ke Qing snorted disdainfully, at this time, it is impossible to save the situation. He won't give them this respite," the news came out, saying that there was no money in the treasury of Li Ji Qianzhuang now, and the money was transferred by the imperial court. They are deliberately procrastinating for time, and there is not much money to redeem at all. ”

"Then send people to buy things with treasure money, gold coupons, and silver tickets, no matter what market shops, buy whatever they have, and buy all those banknotes."

How could this run in the capital slow him down.

Take advantage of his illness and ask for his life.

Streets of Hanking.

The mood of the people, which had already stabilized, was ignited again.

Everyone was eager to go to the money bank to cash in, but there were officers and soldiers guarding it, and they couldn't get in at all. And the money bank is very slow, and it takes half a day to exchange one.

"If this continues, our banknotes will be wasted paper!" Someone roared.

Some of the women wept even more, which is all the savings of the family.

"What to do, what to do."

"Please, let me go and exchange it first, my husband is still waiting for this money to buy medicine."

・・・・・・・

But the officers and soldiers had already received strict orders, spears were erected, and horizontal swords were shining.

Whoever dares to rush the money bank, they can kill them.

"Damn, since we can't change it, let's spend it, buy things, buy food, buy jewelry, it's better than turning into waste paper. Didn't the court say that you can buy things with treasure money, and the shops must not refuse to accept them, let's go! ”

Someone took the lead in shouting.

Someone began to leave.

So many people suddenly realized, yes, you can also exchange banknotes for commercial goods.

At this time, everyone doesn't care whether they need it or not, all they think about is how to keep some money.

Even if you fold some, it's better than a waste.

Near the Lee Kee Money Village is Lee Kee's pawnshop, and there is a room in the pawnshop that sells the dead pawn items. Usually, business is average, but pawnshops often hold auctions on a regular basis to auction similar items.

At this time, a crowd of people poured in.

It doesn't matter what is in the pawnshop, you have to buy it when you open your mouth.

"Jewelry, whether there is gold or silver jewelry, I want to buy it!"

"I'm going to buy a hundred!"

"I'm going to buy ten gold jewelry!"

This pawnshop was originally owned by the Li family, and now it is also taken over by people from the government. I wasn't very familiar with the business, but when I saw so many people pouring in, waving banknotes and shouting to buy, buy, buy, buy, my face turned pale with fright.

"Hurry up and get things out, hurry up!"

Everyone shouted impatiently.

There were so many people that they didn't even bargain.

The people in the pawnshop began to collect money and sell things through the high counter.

The imperial court has a strict order not to refuse to accept treasure money, and not to discount treasure money.

In less than a moment, the pawnshop had sold out of the dead pawns.

Gold and silver jewelry, and even various utensils were sold.

Some of them didn't even let go of old clothes and rotten leather jackets.

By the time they got back, there was nothing left to sell.

"Isn't there something over there, I saw it."

"I'm sorry, this guest officer, there is a job received by the trumpet, and the owner will come to redeem it in the future."

・・・・・・・

Grain store.

The shopkeeper of the grain store has not seen so many people queuing up to buy grain in the grain store for many years, and it seems that he has returned to the beginning of the founding of the Tang Dynasty twenty years ago, when there was a war, and the grain store was like this.

"Shopkeeper, what should we do, are we going to close the door?"

In a moment, all the food in the store turned into a pile of banknotes, and everyone knew that the banknotes were worthless now, but they couldn't refuse to accept them.

"Don't you see those errands on the street, how dare we close the door now? Keep selling, and when we run out of food, we can close the store. The shopkeeper sighed helplessly.

At this time, he didn't even raise the price, let alone close the door.

And on the streets, those errand officers sent by the yamen were also shocked when they looked at the fanatical scene on the street.

Do you want to stop it? Why?

Is there anything wrong with people buying things with paper money?

"Brother Wang, why don't we buy some grain too, if this continues, it is estimated that the grain store will be sold out in a while." A young servant looked at the terrifying scene of the grain store and whispered.

・・・・・・・

The rush to buy is booming.

The people who had been waiting outside the money bank to redeem the money began to run to buy it.

What to buy is no longer a question of need and price, but how to exchange the banknotes in your hands for commodities before everyone buys all the things.

It doesn't matter if he is a table, chair or bench, it is better than waste paper.

Shop after shop was sold out.

At this time, it was a complete mess.

Some shop owners finally couldn't bear it anymore, and looked at the goods of their net worth turned into handfuls of banknotes, their faces were extremely white, their clothes were wet with sweat, and their throats were dry.

"Close the door, close the door immediately, no more sales!"

"However, there are so many people, and there are still servants outside."

There are still errands outside, and the errand servants have joined the rush to buy the army, they are also people, they also have to eat, drink and Lazar, they also have a lot of paper money in their hands, and they are all worried that the paper money will become waste paper.

Many owners have already begun to forcibly close their shops.

The panicked people became even more panicked and angry.

They refused to leave their shops and did not allow their businesses to close.

But the merchant refused to sell the goods and refused to accept the banknotes.

Someone roared, pushed the guy away, grabbed a handful of goods and ran.

Someone started and the people behind followed. At this time, there is no order, not even law, even morality is degraded, and human nature is distorted.

Everyone fell into a kind of panic and frenzy and lost their minds.

The run on the trend quickly evolved into a rush to buy, and finally it simply became a rush.

The streets of Hanking are full of shops, all kinds of shops, and many specialized markets. At this time, there was chaos everywhere, and people went in groups to rob shops, robbing whatever they saw, and moving to their homes.

Then, there are people who empty the shops and simply rob other people on the way.

Smoke rises.

Someone took advantage of the chaos and set a fire.

There are people fighting for items in the streets, and there are big fights.

Others simply ran out of the city, and they wanted to go to the workshops in the commercial towns on the outskirts of the city to grab things.

One urgent message after another was reported to the door of Zhongshu, and then transmitted to the palace.

The prime ministers were all focused, and Li Shimin also rushed over. 、

"Your Majesty, it's all crazy, Hanjing City is all crazy, and martial law must be imposed immediately!"

Li Shimin also did not expect this situation at all.

"Oh no, someone took advantage of the chaos to break into the prison and release all the prisoners."

Syllable.

Li Shimin slapped the table hard.

His face was distorted.

"Spread my will, immediately mobilize the troops and horses of the north and south, and impose full martial law. Whoever dares to rob, arson, etc., will be killed immediately. Let all the people go back to Beijing separately and not go out! ”

In the afternoon, a large number of officers and soldiers were dispatched.

They poured into the capital from various camps, and the gates of the capital began to close.

The Northern Ya Forbidden Army guarded the palace city and the imperial city just in case.

The 12 guards of the Nanya began to clean up the streets, one by one, first the streets, and then other side streets.

The neat pace made a loud noise in the streets.

The soldiers struck their shields with their knives as they advanced.

The people panicked.

Many threw down what they had snatched in their hands and began to flee screaming.

The soldier advanced slowly.

Li Shimin ascended the gate of heaven and stood on a high place overlooking Hanjing.

In the sky above Hanjing, a lot of smoke rises.

The emperor's eyes were glazed, stunned, and speechless for a long time.

Fang Xuanling and the eldest grandson Wuji and other prime ministers also all had black faces, no one expected that at the foot of the prosperous Son of Heaven, in the first good place of the capital division, there would be such a large-scale riot.

Soldiers and horses from the north and south have been dispatched, martial law has been imposed throughout the city, and the situation is being brought under control.

But what's next?

After this riot, which merchant is willing to accept paper money again?

"Li Chao's vicious methods!" Li Shimin said hatefully.

Without evidence, he was sure that this must have been secretly planned and instructed by Li Chao.

"Immediately, the whole city will search for the rebels."

"Arrest Li Chao's wife, concubines, and children and put them in Dali Temple Prison!"

"Your Majesty, please think twice!" Fang Xuanling persuaded.

Li Shimin said angrily, "He made the first year of junior high school, can't I still be fifteen?" ”

A eunuch rode to the palace of King Zhao to give orders.

"Arrest everyone in Zhao Wangfu immediately?" The general of the Yulin Army frowned.

"This is His Majesty's will, does the general want to resist the will?"

The general sighed, "I know." He waved his hand and called several subordinate officers to explain the task.

The door was pushed open, and the general led people to accompany the eunuch into the palace of King Zhao.

When the soldiers and horses entered the house, they screamed again and again, and the chickens flew and the dogs jumped.

"Report!"

"Report to the general, I didn't find the Cui family!"

"Report, I didn't find Li Chao's family!"

・・・・・・

One after another came back to report it.

The Yulin army who entered the mansion arrested many people from King Zhao's mansion, but they didn't even find a master.

Li Chao's wife and concubines are gone, and Li Chao's children are gone.

"So, they must be hiding." The eunuch was shocked, blushing and screaming. I finally got a will, but the errand was ruined.

Frightened and frightened.

The officers and men began to rummage through boxes and cabinets, not sparing a single place.

Someone began to interrogate the people in the house.

But after asking for a long time, I didn't ask anything.

"Report, report to the general, we have found a secret passage."

The general himself went to inspect it, and this underground secret passage actually led in all directions, connecting many places, including several houses in the city, shops, and warehouses, and even one in a city river, and a well connected to a city temple.

After listening to the report of the person who went to investigate, General Yulin shook his head and sighed.

It seems that King Zhao has already planned and arranged a retreat in advance.

It is estimated that when there was a riot in the city today, the people of Zhao Wangfu fled from the tunnel.

"Hurry up and chase them, they won't be able to escape!" The eunuch still shouted with a sharp voice, pinching his orchid fingers.

General Yulin said with a cold face, "Chase!" ”
