After returning from the prefect's yamen, Tang Yi locked himself in the study, and what he urgently needed to figure out was how much ammunition he still had in his hand to use.

Since the tea crisis, Tang Yi's capital in his hands is about two million taels, and during the entire food crisis, Tang Yi has made three major profits, and the first is to sell grain on the black market.

At the beginning of the food surge, Zhao Xu and others began to buy grain, Tang Yi's actions were not slow at all, almost spent one million taels, and bought 250,000 stones, with an average of four taels and one egg. Different from Zhao Xu's hoarding, Tang Yi secretly threw it out, with an average price of about twelve taels, and he made a huge amount of two million taels at once.

In addition, before the final sell-off, Zhao Xu's men and horses had made a short resistance, Tang Yi seized the golden opportunity, and decisively threw out 150,000 stone of grain, with an average price of 221 stones, and earned 3 million taels in a short time.

Secondly, the traffic bank dumped cotton, coal, charcoal, etc., and also made a profit of 800,000 taels.

In the end, it is to attract large households in Suzhou to join the traffic bank, obtain the coupons in their hands with a three-fold discount, and then merge the stores of the commercial banks, all of which add up to more than five million taels of silver......

Add up one by one, and in three or four months, Tang Yi's wealth in his hands has increased by more than 10 million taels, which is comparable to the income of the Ming treasury for two and a half years, and the profits are staggering.

What is more valuable is that the transportation industry has obtained the opportunity to integrate Suzhou's business, and the value of a Suzhou is simply immeasurable. With Suzhou as the core, the rise of the traffic gang has become unstoppable.

As long as the southeast is integrated, the Japanese are eliminated, and the shipping route is unblocked, Tang Yi is sure that it will be within ten years. The southeast completely overrode the Jin merchants.

After all, the border trade and salt run by Shanxi people have reached a bottleneck, and it is very difficult to increase them. This is not the case with sea trade, Tang Yi knows that there are at least two or three hundred years of good times, and the wealth of the southeast will exceed everyone's imagination.

To say that Tang Yi is really a last resort, he takes advantage of everything. Didn't you suffer at all? Not really.

Because when he was helping Jiang Yuequan exchange dim sum coupons, he found a problem, that is, there were far more people who came to redeem than the number of food stamps issued.

In order to deal with these extra coupons, Tang Yi also called Jiang Yuequan and scolded him bitterly.

And Jiang Yuequan was also full of grievances, he swore to the sky that he had issued a maximum of 30,000 taels of coupons, and the extra coupons of more than 10,000 yuan were definitely not his.

Tang Yi saw that Jiang Yuequan didn't look like he was lying, so he hurriedly brought the exchanged coupon. Upon closer inspection, it turned out that about a third of the coupons were fake.

Jiang Yuequan was so angry that he scolded loudly, but Tang Yi seemed very calm. Ever since the advent of pen and paper, counterfeit money has been popping up one after another.

Even if the anti-counterfeiting measures of future generations are still inevitable, counterfeit money is still inevitable, not to mention the tickets printed by small shops. When prices are high, it's a ghost not to cheat. Just like the Jiaozi of the Song Dynasty, including the treasure banknotes of the Ming Dynasty, the reason why they will eventually collapse has a great relationship with the emergence of counterfeit money.

Tang Yi was keenly aware that an even bigger storm, a storm ten thousand times more terrible than the food crisis, was coming!

The people of Suzhou were tortured by the coupons and became frightened birds. If there is news that there are fake coupons again, even if he has the power to return to heaven, don't try to save the credibility of the coupons, then he will really be swept into the garbage heap.

Tickets, such an advanced financial tool, Tang Yi would never watch it fall.

Therefore, Tang Yi decisively ordered to adopt the means of exchanging old coupons for new coupons. Resolutely swept away the old tickets, and eliminated the big crisis without knowing it.

Since there are fake tickets, will the others be the same!

Tang Yi suddenly remembered one thing, that is, at the last moment of the competition, a large number of people waving silver tickets to buy food appeared. According to his and Zhou Qinyun's estimates, Zhao Xu should have been unable to take out the silver a long time ago, but he refreshed the upper limit again and again, and at first Tang Yi just thought that he was clever and had a deep money bag.

After seeing the fake coupon, Tang Yi became alert, could it be that Zhao Xu used a fake silver ticket?

If this is the case, it is a catastrophe, for the money in Suzhou, it is definitely a catastrophe, Tang Yi did not dare to make a noise, quietly investigated, sure enough, as he expected, there are indeed a large number of fake silver tickets, and there are a lot of them in his hands!

It turned out that during the final battle, Tang Yi played a little trick and made the grain ship wait for a while before entering Suzhou, while he threw grain wildly, caught three million taels, and was proud.

However, after counting, there were more than 1.2 million silver tickets in the three million taels that were problematic.

No need to ask, it must be Zhao Xu who did this.

Tang Yi really admires this guy, usually people don't use many silver tickets, but the price of food has skyrocketed, often more than ten taels, twenty taels, how much is it with ingots, and the silver in the Suzhou market is not enough. The ticket numbers of major money banks have frantically issued silver tickets during this period to make up for the lack of cash.

The big guys are all focused on tickets, so they naturally ignore the problem of silver tickets. Now that the food crisis is over, a financial storm has returned.

Tang Yi seemed to see Zhao Xu hiding in a corner, and laughed proudly.

Food, tickets, silver tickets!

Perfect triple hit!

You solve the first one and you are complacent, you think that Lao Tzu is defeated, no! Not at all! Wait for Lao Tzu's revenge!

What a ruthless man! Tang Yi shuddered, he exchanged the new coupons for the old coupons, and resolved one of the crises, but for this he also had to pay an extra burden of one or two million, and then solve the problem of silver tickets, I was afraid that the benefits he got would be compensated.

After a night of hard thinking and meditation, Tang Yi gave up, he didn't want to be a savior anymore, he was too tired, the continuous fighting made him tired, and if he continued to hold on, Tang Yi suspected that he would explode.

And this fight also exhausted Tang Yi's few consciences, he walked out of the study, and decisively ordered that all the silver tickets in question should be taken to the four major money banks of the Jin Merchants to be saved, or exchanged for cash. At the same time, he also sent letters to large households in Suzhou, asking them to strengthen the management of bank tickets and prevent crises.

After everything was done, Tang Yi took the fake silver ticket, went to the prefect's yamen, and told Wang Chonggu the news.

Returning home again, Tang Yi looked at the brand-new glass mirror, the palm-sized mirror reflected him in the slightest, in the mirror, was a handsome young man, in his prime, scolding Fang Xuan, like a jade man in the world.

Regardless of men and women, everyone wants to be more beautiful, right?

But Tang Yi couldn't find a trace of kindness from the young man in front of him, and even felt fear and hideousness.

Millions of soldiers and civilians, in his eyes, can be sacrificed without scruples, the day before was a close master and apprentice, and the next day is the enemy who secretly attacked, knowing that it would explode at any time, but despicably stuffed the Jin merchant ticket number......

Tang Yi could find countless excuses for himself, such as for long-term considerations, for the interests of Suzhou, for the protection of hard-won achievements, and for the expulsion of greedy Jin merchants......

But no amount of excuses can change a fact, since he entered the circle of fame and fortune, since he chased power and desperately strengthened himself, invisibly, he has become the same as Wang Chonggu, Zhao Xu, and even Zhao Wenhua, Yan Song and others. The world is as black as a crow, don't laugh at the eldest brother.

Tang Yi is sick, he is really sick, he hasn't eaten for a whole day, he is lying on the bed, his head is splitting, his eyes are red and swollen and dry, he wants to close his eyes, as long as he falls asleep, he can forget everything, but unfortunately he can't do it, he can only endure it silently,

The door was gently pushed open, a gust of fragrant wind wafted in, and two elves, one big and one small, arrived in front of Tang Yi.

Tang Yi struggled to turn his head, barely squeezing out a smile, "Yueying, Xiuxiu, are you here?" ”

Xiuxiu ran over, looked carefully at Tang Yi's red eyes, shook his little head, and said in an old-fashioned manner: "Big brother is not well-behaved, not a good boy, he wants to spank his ass!" ”

Tang Yi laughed and said, "Why is the big brother not well-behaved?" ”

"Your eyes are so red, you must not have slept, grandma said, you have to sleep more, you will look smart, like, just like Xiuxiu."

Wang Yueying smiled, pushed Xiuxiu and said, "Little girl, big brother is tired, you go to Shen Lin to play, let him invite you to eat rock sugar gourd." ”

When it came to the sweet and sour rock sugar gourd, Xiuxiu suddenly came to her senses and ran out of the room.

Wang Yueying sighed slightly, turned around and pressed her two thumbs on Tang Yi's head, slowly rubbing it, the soft jade hand, just the right strength, and the fragrance like an orchid musk, gradually calmed the irritability in Tang Yi's heart. His eyelids kept fighting, and he muttered, "Yueying, if I become a bad person, will you marry me?" ”

Wang Yueying was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "Brother, my mother said that as long as there is good and evil in your heart, you are not a bad person." ”

"What if something bad is done?" Tang Yi asked unwillingly.

"That's a last resort, there are too many unsatisfactory things in life, brother, sleep, forget it when you wake up!"

After being stunned for a while, Tang Yi nodded obediently and slowly fell asleep......

A group of big men, surrounded by gorgeously dressed middle-aged people, strode into Hou Ji Qianzhuang, and saw that their leader was a big customer, and the shopkeeper hurriedly ran over.

"Sir, please sit down and serve tea." He sat down and asked, "Sir, what is your business with the shelter, is it to exchange or deposit silver?" ”

"Redeem, call your host."

The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "Sir, the small one is the shopkeeper's, and the small one can be exchanged for eight thousand taels of silver." ”

"Humph!" The middle-aged man turned his head, he didn't bother to take care of him at all, and those big men scolded: "Open your dog's eyes and see clearly, we are from the Confucian Mansion, eight thousand taels, and we have a long opening?" ”

Hey, it's from the Yansheng family.

The shopkeeper's legs ran back, and after a while, Hou Yunlai hurriedly came, he had seen Kong Shangwen twice, and hurriedly trotted over and gave a deep salute.

"Okay, okay, Hou Yunlai, you know what the temper of the third master is, these are two boxes, a total of four million taels of silver tickets, you can redeem it for the third master!"

"Four, four million taels?"

Hou Yunlai's tongue is not good, "Third master, you're not joking, are you?" There aren't so many silver tickets on the market combined? ”

"Don't talk nonsense, don't believe it, open the dog's eyes and see if it's yours!" (To be continued.) )
