What made Luo Jian worry was after reading the report sent by the Ministry of Security, which showed that someone had now begun to calculate the government's bank.

After reading the report carefully, Luo Jian felt that it was impossible to say that these people wanted to overthrow the Nanjing government, but it could only be said that they had an instinctive sense of smell, and they had already felt the extreme importance of the right to issue currency.

Seeing this, Luo Jian really admired these businessmen who had just come from the Ming Dynasty, it was only a few years, and it was really not easy for them to have such an understanding.

However, the way they want to bring down the central bank is still extremely primitive, and it is nothing more than a large amount of exchange, and if the real money and silver of the central bank are exchanged for nothing, there will naturally be no credit, and the currency without credit will inevitably not last long.

Although the method is primitive, it is the most difficult to deal with in the early days of the bank's operation, especially when it is deliberately dealt with.

After receiving the report, Luo Jian did not dare to take it lightly, and immediately convened a special meeting to report the situation.

Shi Kexue has learned some knowledge in this area, but he can understand it, Ren Minyu lowered his head and pondered, Yuan Jixian couldn't help but shake his head, Zhu Yujian had words in his mouth, and he didn't know what he was muttering.

Lu Zhenfei slapped the table and scolded: "These people are really too much! Is it true that our government is easy to bully? Xinghua, I think we must send someone to keep an eye on it to see who is specially here to exchange maliciously, and we will also have a post-autumn accounting! ”

Shi Kefa was about to stop Lu Zhenfei, but Luo Jian spoke: "Minister Lu is reasonable, we really can't be soft on those who maliciously disrupt the financial market. Take advantage of this opportunity. Let's just introduce the relevant laws. Regulate the behavior of the financial market, and we need to turn bad things into good things! ”

There are not many people who really want to bring down the central bank, most businessmen still want to make money with peace of mind, and they don't think about it so long-term, which is why Luo Jian dares to make up his mind to rectify it, if it involves too much and too widely, then it really has to be considered.

Shi Kefa was a little surprised, he thought that Luo Jian would only deal with it passively. At most, he will take some economic means to deal with it, but I didn't expect him to suddenly become tough today.

"Xinghua, what are you going to do with them?" Surprised, Shi Kefa still asked.

"Administrative means and economic means go hand in hand, if someone really has bad intentions, we have to clean him up and go bankrupt!" Luo Jian said this extremely seriously, obviously made up his mind.

"Good! This is the Luo Xinghua I admire! You just can't be soft on this kind of person. Lu Zhenfei stroked his palms and smiled.

"There is a problem of careful screening here, some people are following the trend, and these people should be educated first, supplemented by punishment." Luo Jian added. Everyone nodded their heads again and again.

"Shi Ze, you can spread our meaning. Let these people know that our government is not weak and can be bullied. Shi Kefa explained to Ren Minyu.

The tone was set, and everyone carefully discussed the criteria for screening and punishment, and now they are waiting for some people to take action.

It has been five or six days since the issuance of the Chinese dollar, and I don't know if the news from Ren Minyu played a role, or if these people are brewing a bigger conspiracy, in short, these days have been quite calm.

According to the statistics of the six branches and temporary issuance points, there are more than 100,000 taels of Chinese yuan exchanged for cash every day, and this figure is completely expected, and there are some people who exchange Chinese yuan for cash, but the amount is not large, with an average of about 70,000 or 80,000 taels per day.

The issuance of banknotes has indeed brought great convenience to the circulation of goods, and it used to be a headache to eat in a restaurant and pay the bill.

People who go out can't carry a lot of copper coins on their bodies, they can only bring silver, and the disputes caused by the weighing and fineness of silver are countless, and silver needs to be cut, and it can't be seen once or twice, but the losses caused by a large number of cuts are not a few.

The use of banknotes does not exist at all these problems, the quality of the banknotes issued by the government is very good, some people have tried, put the banknotes in water for an hour or two, take them out to dry, and the new Jiaozi issued by Hangzhou Qianzhuang can not do this, soaked in water for less than half an hour to completely soak.

If the banknote is accidentally damaged, it can also be exchanged for new currency at the bank, which makes the people feel a lot more relieved.

Just when Shi Kefa and the others felt that some people had already stopped, the situation changed suddenly on the seventh day.

At half past ten in the morning, all the more than 500,000 taels of cash prepared at all the temporary issuance points were exchanged, and at two o'clock in the afternoon, the cash of the six branches began to tighten, and you must know that each of the six branches had prepared 500,000 taels of silver.

The temporary issuance point has closed the business of exchanging cash, and there are already long queues in front of the three branches in Nanjing, and people are still rushing to exchange cash.

No one noticed that there were two men standing in front of the glass window on the third floor of the branch closest to the Central Bank, both of whom were frowning and looking down from the window.

"Xinghua, it's time to do it, right?" It was Shi Kefa who spoke, and he was already pacing in a hurry.

"No hurry, wait." Luo Jian was very calm.

There was already a noisy noise in the hall downstairs, and many people who had not exchanged for cash began to make a fuss.

"Let's go, let's get out of the way."

Two carts passing at the gate of the branch attracted people's attention, and even the people in the hall waiting to exchange money turned their eyes to the door.

The two carts were accompanied by nearly 100 heavily armed soldiers, and as soon as the carts stopped, the soldiers lined up in two rows and separated the people.

Then dozens of soldiers began to carry the boxes down from the cart, and the boxes looked heavy, and the four soldiers felt a little difficult to carry one of them.

"What are they carrying? Is it silver? ”

"Wouldn't it? Doesn't it mean that the government has run out of money? ”

Seeing a dozen heavy boxes being carried in, the people in the hall were already talking.

"Who says the government has no money? Come, open it and show it! ”

An officer directed the soldiers to drop the box and opened it in the hall.

"Wow, it's really all silver, just a dozen boxes. I'm afraid it's tens of thousands of taels. Who came out and said that the government had no money? ”

"Such a person is waiting to be replaced. Where is there enough for these dozen boxes? ”

"Let's change it quickly, it'll be done again in a while."

Listening to the people's discussions, the officer smiled disdainfully and said:

"I said you're all stupid or something? This thing is dead and heavy, how can it be convenient for the Chinese dollar? Think the government is really out of money? Let me tell you, I am only escorting the first batch here, and there are more than a dozen more batches to come. ”

"What you said is true?" Some still don't believe.

"What am I lying to you for? If you don't believe me, wait here to see if I've lied to you? The officer said confidently.

Listening to the officer's words, the people in the hall began to look at each other.

"You can't trust him. I heard that all the silver prepared by the government has been exchanged in the past two days, where are there more than a dozen batches? Just as everyone was hesitating, a voice rang out in the crowd.

The officer's eagle-like gaze was fixed on the person who had just spoken, and when he saw that the officer was staring at him, this person quickly shrank behind the crowd.

"Take it for me!" The officer shouted.

The crowd moved out of the way to both sides, and the person who had just spoken quickly appeared in front of everyone.

"Take it away!"

The same scene was playing out in six branches at the same time, and the security department began to interrogate the men urgently.

As a cart of cash was pulled into the branch, the hearts of the people were finally settled, and just when everyone thought that the matter was over, another group of officials came. A few posters were posted in front of the branch.

When the people who had slowly dispersed saw it, they gathered around one after another.

"Huh? Will there be a 50% tax on cash transactions in the future? ”

"Look carefully. The notice said that more than 500 taels or more is it, and it scared me, my small shop is a small business, if this is half of the tax, how can I live? ”

"What about this, if there are merchants who come to exchange more than 2,000 taels of silver, the government will not give them any preferential policies in the future, what does this mean?"

Several of the provisions on the proclamation have little to do with the common people, and they are only aimed at the wealthy.

In this small courtyard, not far from the branch, the doors and windows were closed, and four or five men who looked like merchants sat around a table in front of the window, even though it was daylight.

"Do you think we're going to be able to bring down their so-called bank this time?"

"I think it's a bit choking, I'm really worried that I'll push them into a hurry, and they will be ruthless to us when the time comes."

"No, you're too careful, when did the Nanjing government kill us Han people? I don't think it will be this time. ”

Several people whispered, and a middle-aged man in his early thirties sat in the direction of the window, but at the moment his face was gloomy and did not speak.

"Master Fan, what do you say? What the hell are we going to do? You came up with the idea. Seeing that the middle-aged man didn't speak, someone began to say to him.

"What else can I do? It's up to who makes it to the end. The man named Fan Ye finally spoke, and when he finished speaking, the room fell silent again.

"It's been so long, why haven't you reported it yet?" A businessman finally couldn't help but break the silence.

Before anyone else could speak, there was a "bang" in front of the courtyard gate, and the courtyard door was kicked open.

A group of soldiers, led by an officer, ran into the courtyard and soon surrounded the courtyard.

"Don't panic, we are all serious businessmen, forgive them and don't dare to do anything to us." The merchant surnamed Fan stood up, and although there was a panicked look on his face, he was better than the others.

The soldiers surrounded the courtyard but did not move, and after waiting for a while, several men with straw hats on their heads came over, and the officer came forward to salute and led them into the house.

"Master Fan Sanba, you can make it easy for us to find it!" It was Lai Fu who spoke.

"Aren't you Fan Sanye? Are you Fan Sanba? You've made us miserable! When several businessmen heard this, they were taken aback, and only when they reacted did they scold Fan Sanba.

"If you don't have the intention of harming others, how can you listen to Fan Sanba's picking? Take the blame for yourself, and blame others! Take them all back! Lai Fu said coldly, listening to Lai Fu's words, the hearts of several businessmen sank.

Luo Jian and Shi Kefa have returned to the office, the origin of the matter has been clarified, and the mastermind behind the use of Chinese dollars to grab the cash has been found out, and it is Fan Sanba who picked out a group of businessmen.

"Xinghua, who is this Fan Sanba?" Shi Kefa was still a little confused.

"Hehe, I didn't expect to catch him. Fan Sanba, you may not know, but you always know his father Fan Yongdou, right? Luo Jian said with a smile. (To be continued.) )
