Chapter 573: A Great Victory
Su Shi's fleet was getting closer and closer to Yizhou, and at the second watch, a group of people suddenly sneaked over, climbed onto the boat, and lifted the tarpaulin inside. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Stones, stones, all stones!
There is no copper at all!
Hahaha, Wang Ningan is really lying!
The news quickly reached the ears of Jiang Qing, led by the Liu family, and Liu Ping's face showed a strong flush, looking extremely excited!
"Everyone, Wang Ningan's lies have been exposed, and he is finished!"
Liu Ping proudly announced that he had decided to go to Wang Ningan early tomorrow morning to settle the account.
In the hands of major families, there are enough 8 million new Jiaozi...... Wang Ningan released 30 million new Jiaozi before and after, and he returned 18 million Guan by selling copper coins, excluding the people, and some businessmen's Jiaozi, the 8 million Guan is the largest amount.
Wang Ningan can't take out the copper coin, and Jiaozi is about to collapse in an instant!
In order to prevent Wang Ning'an from jumping off the wall in a hurry, Liu Ping asked people to notify Zhang Fangping, and also asked people to tell Wang Su, the prefect of Yizhou, that these two must arrive and support him.
Liu Ping didn't dare to be sloppy in the slightest, the more at this time, the more careful he became, and he also asked people to spread the news and mobilize manpower, as if he wanted to finish his work......
In the early morning of the next day, the sun was full of sunshine, and Jinguan was in the city.
Liu Ping deliberately changed into a brand new dress, and the rest of the Peng family, the Wang family, the Bai family, and the Tian family ...... Hundreds of people followed closely to the left and right, and they rushed directly to the Yizhou branch of the Royal Bank.
As if he had known that they would come, outside the Yizhou branch, there was a heavy guard, hundreds of soldiers, armed with weapons, lined up on both sides, glaring angrily.
Seeing this scene, Jiang Qing was a little frightened, but after thinking about it, it was natural to repay debts, not to mention that they were not without one...... No, Wang Su's sedan chair is here.
The prefect walked over quickly, and Liu Ping hurriedly greeted him.
"The old parents arrived, and I waited for the old parents to salute them."
Wang Su stiffened his face, but he was already smiling in his heart, last night, someone sneaked into Su Shi's fleet and found that the copper material was fake.
After all, there is a time when the trick will be broken, Wang Ning'an, you kid is finally at the end!
Wang Su was so excited that he didn't sleep all night, and at this moment, he was even more eager to see Wang Ningan's fate than these Jiang Qing.
"Princess......" As soon as he spoke, his voice changed tone.
"The old man is worried about the situation, and he can only count it on his fingers, and the situation of most of the year, the old and new friends, have disturbed one after another, making the land of Shuzhong a mess, inconvenient to do business, and the people are damaged...... As a result, the people's livelihood has withered and the finances have dried up, and the old man has written to the court, asking His Majesty to have mercy on the villagers and give everyone an explanation. ”
"Thank you for your sympathy, please let us call the shots!"
Enjoying thousands of voices, Wang Su was very proud, he turned to the direction of the Royal Bank, this time he seemed full of confidence, Wang Ningan, don't think that the old man is afraid of you, speaking of which, I am also from a famous family and have deep qualifications, but I don't want to directly conflict with you.
So far, you have made such a big problem, do you still want to get out safely?
Dream on!
After waiting for a while, Wang Su was a little impatient, and only then did he see Zhang Fangping's carriage coming slowly.
"It's Lord Zhang!"
Wang Su was even happier, "Everyone, with Lord Zhang in charge, what else do you have to be afraid of, what grievances do you have, just tell Lord Zhang." ”
The gang scrambled over again, Zhang Fangping's face was very dark, and he snorted, "What are you doing here?" Rebellion fails? ”
Wang Su grinned, "Lord Zhang, the big guy is just worried that his son can't be exchanged, and he wants to implore Wang Xianggong to give an explanation." ”
Zhang Fangping snorted, "Is it enough to just give an explanation?" Is it okay not to give money? ”
Wang Su was so choked that he couldn't speak, he wondered in his heart, why was Zhang Fangping so rushed? Yes, this old guy is going to act, for fear of colluding with Jiang Qing.
It's really cunning enough, it's all come to this point, and it's still pretending to be garlic!
Wang Su secretly despised himself, but Liu Ping laughed and said: "Lord Zhang, we are here to exchange Jiaozi, and we have no choice but to do it, the court can't be unreasonable, right?" ”
Zhang Fangping snorted, he was more and more disgusted with these Jiang Qings.
Without them to add to the chaos, Jiaozi would not have collapsed at all!
He also heard that the so-called Dali copper material is fake at all, if you don't do it, Jiaozi will be completely finished today! Zhang Fangping complained that Wang Ning'an was still too young and conceited, thinking that he could solve anything, and even the old man hid it...... Anyway, it's a big deal to break the net and arrest all these people, as for Wang Ning'an's fault, he is ready to play Zhao Zhen and ask the emperor to punish him separately.
Zhang Fangping made up his mind and waited here.
Compared with the usual time to open the door, it was a little later than the time to open the door, and finally the door opened, and Wang Ningan followed a few people behind him, and walked out with a smile.
"Hey, Zhang Zhongcheng, Wang Fuzun, you're all here!"
Zhang Fangping snorted and turned his head over, obviously still angry. Wang Su smiled and leaned over: "Wang Xianggong, if the lower officials are coming, it is really rumored by the people that Xinjiaozi can no longer hold on, and the bank can't take out the copper coins and can't exchange them...... The lower officials hoped that Wang Xianggong could clarify the matter and set the record straight. ”
Wang Ningan glanced at him meaningfully, and then smiled calmly.
"Wang Fuzun, the news you got is basically true."
"What?"
Wang Su was really frightened, and his heart almost jumped out.
"Wang Xianggong, I heard you right, right?"
"Nope." Wang Ningan said simply: "At present, the Royal Bank does not have a single copper deposit. ”
"So, what about the ships? What about the ship from southern Sichuan? Isn't there copper in it? ”
Wang Ningan shook his head, "Wang Fuzun, you are mistaken, those ships are transporting stones, and in order to build roads, they have nothing to do with copper. ”
Hearing Wang Ning'an's clarification, everyone couldn't care about why they were transporting stones from afar, and there were only two words left in their minds: It's over!
The copper coins are gone, and the copper materials are gone!
What is used to maintain the stability of Jiaozi, does it depend on the face of your Lord Wang?
In the crowd, Liu Ping was ecstatic!
"Wang Xianggong! Where has all the hard-earned money of our Bashu people gone? Everyone listened to your demagogy and changed to a new friend? Now Xinjiaozi has been scrapped and has become a piece of waste paper! What do you have? ”
The others also followed suit, asking loudly, all with red faces and thick necks.
Wang Ningan could still keep his composure, he smiled faintly, Zhang Fangping was already furious.
"You are so bold!"
Zhang Fangping simply reprimanded angrily: "You are buying copper coins behind your back, selling Jiaozi, disrupting the market, and making Bashu uneasy...... Now he is insatiable and wants to run the Royal Bank! Which one is not a capital offense! Come! Take them all down for me! ”
Yes!
Liu Ping suddenly felt that his eyes were dark, this, this...... Got the wrong script!
Lord Zhang, aren't you on our side?
How can you turn your face and not recognize people?
They were all confused.
Wang Ningan stopped Zhang Fangping with a smile, "Master Zhang, don't be impatient, they come to exchange, just give it to them." ”
Zhang Fangping shook his arm angrily, "Xianggong Wang, haven't you seen it yet?" These people are all thieves in trouble, the old man, as a messenger, should uphold the holy will, eradicate the traitor and eliminate the evil, don't stop the old man! ”
"Don't be busy!"
Wang Ningan smiled: "I still have a few words to say, and when I finish speaking, it won't be too late for Master Zhang to have another seizure." ”
Wang Ningan smiled and took two steps forward, glanced at Liu Pingren, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, no anger, no disdain, just looked at it, how to describe it, it was like a person, looking at a monkey...... Is there such a big difference, don't deceive people too much!
"Folks!"
Clearing his throat, Wang Ningan said loudly: "Recently, the Royal Bank has indeed faced a run, and there has indeed been a problem of capital breakdown...... But rest assured, it was resolved a few days ago. ”
Wang Ningan turned around and pointed to a person behind him.
"This is a well-known salt merchant in Fushun, his name is Zheng Hongtu, and I am sure some people will know him...... The Imperial Bank, the Imperial Court, and the Salt Merchants agreed to use Jiaozi as the sole settlement currency for well salt after urgent consultations...... That is to say, although the Jiaozi in your hands cannot be exchanged for copper for the time being, it can be exchanged for well salt. ”
Zheng Hongtu hurriedly stood up, and he didn't pay any attention to Liu Ping's cannibalistic gaze.
"Folks, Wang Xianggong is indeed for the sake of the people of Bashu, we promise that every time you make a handover, according to the calculation of 1000 Wen, you can buy well salt as much as you want! Folks, everyone is worried that Jiaozi will become waste paper, but there is no need, as long as the brine in Yanjing does not dry for a day, Jiaozi will not depreciate! ”
was silent for a while, and suddenly there was strong applause in the crowd, and those Jiang Qing were all stupid!
Issuing Jiaozi, using copper coins as reserves, the copper coins are gone, and Jiaozi will naturally be finished...... Who would have thought that salt could be used as a guarantee?
Will this work?
Of course it works, Bashu's well salt is a necessity for every household, and binding Jiaozi with well salt is really a double win.
First of all, the salt merchants of Bashu, they can get the shares of the Royal Bank, smoothly sell the well salt outside Sichuan, and can also purchase more goods into Sichuan...... Cooperating with the Royal Bank is equivalent to helping them open up the entire Great Song market, people go to high places, who wants to be limited to Bashu!
If you master the salt trade, you will also be able to master other commodity trades, such as grain, tung oil, timber, medicinal herbs, and raw silk...... All large transactions are completed in the bank, which can save the cost of doing business and reduce the use of currency, which is something that Wang Ningan has long pushed in Kaifeng, but it is just promoted to Bashu.
The common people still can't think of so much, they only know that if they want to buy salt, they need to use jiaozi, and it is cheaper than copper, which is enough!
Liu Ping was like a gambler who had lost everything, he pulled his throat and shouted frantically: "I don't want well salt, I want copper, exchange it for copper for me immediately!" ”
Wang Ningan smiled contemptuously, what a fool, he still can't understand the situation!
"Open the door!"
In an instant, the Royal Bank opened 128 windows, all of which handled deposit and exchange business, Zheng Hongtu and other salt merchants were the first to jump out and take the lead in depositing 3 million copper coins, and the rest of the merchants and ordinary people followed suit...... The empty treasury was full all at once.
Su Shi rushed to the dumbfounded Jiang Qing and said with a smile: "Come with me to exchange copper!" ”
