ps: The Dou family's offensive has begun, begging for subscriptions, begging for monthly passes!

The residents of Chang'an queuing outside were calm, but it was not peaceful at all in the money exchange shop.

"One baht pod money is also the official money minted by the Son of Heaven, why can't you exchange huàn one baht pod money! You're talking about it! If you don't say that you have to exchange my baht pod money today, or I won't leave!" ”

A big fat merchant jumped like thunder in the money exchange workshop, he was followed by a few servants pressing dozens of bamboo boxes of copper coins, and the other three baht coins, four baht coins, eight baht coins and half two coins were all redeemed huàn, only one baht pod money encountered huge difficulties, in the merchant Jia heard that a baht pod money could not be exchanged for huàn immediately exploded, he didn't care about the rules of the Shaofu and the Inner History Mansion, only recognized a dead reason, anyway, a baht pod money is the official money minted by your Han court, you must give me five baht new money.

There are 60 windows in the money exchange room, and in each window there is a subordinate official of the Shaofu who presides: "Please don't mess around, the copper content of a baht pod is too low, and the court thinks that receiving a baht pod and minting five baht will make the court lose a lot, so you should bring it back the same way from where!" You'd better leave with the money, or the Northern Army at the gate will arrest you. ”

The big fat merchant Jia was obviously scared, but seeing a lot of one-baht pod money in his hand that could not be exchanged and was unwilling to leave, he knew in his heart that as long as the day passed, the news that the imperial court was unwilling to exchange five baht money for huàn one-baht pod money would also spread, and the person who still held the one-baht pod money in his hand would definitely go crazy to spend the money, and when he saw that the merchant would definitely resolutely not charge a baht pod, then the market price of the one-baht pod money would plummet all the way, such as the degree of downhill skiing.

This big fat man knew very well in his heart that he couldn't leave even if he was killed. As long as he turned around, it meant that all the 18oo one-baht pods in his hand were all in vain, and he had worked hard for decades and returned to Qin before he was destroyed overnight, so you can imagine his complicated feelings of resolutely unwilling to leave.

"Shall I beg you to let me cash out a baht? I don't dare to expect 5 one-baht pods to exchange 1 five-baht coin. But can you negotiate with 6 pieces? Don't go! 7 pieces or 8 pieces, it really can't be more! ”

The movement in the hall of the money exchange shop was eye-catching, and the people present did not have a deposit of thousands of one-baht pods, and the copper coins that were not standardized and messy in the market could be circulated in the past, and they never thought that they would not charge a single baht pod.

In this era of money shortage, no matter how much pod money is not beneficial. But after all, it is the official designated money that Taizu Liu Bang allowed to mint, and the minimum amount of imitation of the folk is also the largest, but any copper material mixed with some lead and tin and other metals can be made into copper coins. The threshold for entry is low, and every household has made pod money.

Da Nong Ling once estimated the currency circulating in the market, and the amount of pods circulating in the market was the largest, conservatively estimated to be at least trillions of pods, and these coins were of inferior quality, and many pods could be broken in two by hand. A worse quality shattered at the touch is simply insulting to one's intelligence. The reason for the circulation of this kind of pod money is that there is a shortage of money, there is no money to use and the market is extremely short of money.

The fat man's asking price has risen to 1o baht pod money to huàn 1 five-baht coin, and the subordinates of the money exchange shop still do not let go, forcing the big fat man to continue to bid up like crazy, and the higher and higher the bidding price until it breaks through the psychological limit price of 15 one-baht pod money to huàn 1 five-baht coin, and the fat man yelled: "15 pieces, don't let it be exchanged for huàn." I just crashed to death outside the gate, and I didn't live! ”

"Good! Deal! Open your case and let our professionals inspect it. I realize to warn you, the quality is too poor and still not accepted. ”

"No problem, as long as you redeem it, I will admit it all." The fat on the face of the big fat businessman trembled with pain, although the quality of a baht pod is far from being able to exchange 5 for 1 for 5 baht, but the psychological defense line of falling below 1o still makes the fat businessman very uncomfortable, more than 1o is almost not much oil and water, after 12 is equivalent to passing the stop loss point, to 15 can not be said to be a huge loss of vitality, but at least a penny does not earn a lot of upside down.

It didn't take long for him to redeem 12o thousand five-baht coins with 18oo one-baht pods as he wished, and the capital he lost was 3o million five-baht coins.

Sometimes the market is so strange that as long as the first person eats the crab, the followers behind it will pop up all at once.

Once the opening for pod money is opened, more and more people come to exchange pod money in hand, and there is a long queue in front of the money exchange shop every day, and even farmers from ten miles and eight towns carry bags of pod money to exchange huàn.

But more people still choose to continue to wait and see, the harsh requirements of the money exchange shop are unacceptable, and the refusal to accept the pod money that is too poor has attracted a lot of criticism, and the price comparison of 15 pod money is better than 1 five-baht coin In the words of Shang Jia, it is like a robbery, so they are frantically minting and acquiring pod money hoarding on the market, while waiting for the market to lack money to guide the change in the price of pod money.

If you ask to buy expensive goods with a far currency value, you will immediately be severely rejected by the merchants in the two cities, either according to the exchange rate of 15 pods to 1 five-baht coin, or please take out five baht coins according to the official currency value.

The merchants are not stupid, completely ignore the hoarding of wealthy businessmen, their own small business can not follow the gang of wealthy businessmen, the exchange rate does not go up to the exchange of money Fang price naturally can not go up, the rich businessmen do not redeem pod money, does not represent the small and medium-sized businessmen in the market, and more foreign merchants to the capital do not exchange new money, in order to get the latest batch of five baht money, directly push all the official money in their pockets to the money exchange shop for conversion, this unreasonable way completely disrupted the arrangement of the wealthy businessmen.

The exchange rate is dead or alive after several heads up, the business of the money exchange shop is booming, every day from dawn to midnight three watches there are people queuing, the wealthy businessmen have collected a lot of pod money and become chicken ribs, rushing to sweep the pod money on the market must be higher than the price comparison income of the money exchange, at least 14.5 pod money to huàn 1 five-baht money, otherwise people might as well line up to the money exchange shop to get the official five-baht money to feel at ease.

The wealthy businessmen can't compare to the money exchange workshop to take out a steady stream of five baht money, and there is not enough five baht money in their hands, so they have to use the goods and land in hand to mortgage out to borrow money to sweep the goods, and the amount of pod money hoarded in their hands is getting bigger and bigger, but the official price comparison of pod money has never moved, and they have been dragged into a dead end and cannot get out.

The huge blow made many businessmen who had saved pod money panic, and they were originally gritting their teeth and waiting for the opportunity to operate, maybe the exchange rate would rise back to the era of 1o to 1 or even 5 to 1, but now that luxury is completely gone, and the exchange room suddenly raised the standard.

"Due to the recent exchange of a large number of inferior pod money, the consumption of five baht coins in the Guizhì Ben Qian Fang is huge, and the cost of melting pod money is high and the procedures for cashing pod money are complicated, so it was decided to suspend the large-scale exchange of pod money, if there is an urgent need to exchange the price of the pod money is 2o pod money to 1 five-baht coin, do not disturb the sincerity, thank you for your cooperation."

Now the wealthy businessmen can't hold on, and if the Shaofu doesn't collect pod money, the pod money on the market will soon be reduced to illegal currency that is not recognized, maybe in a few months, only the old farmers in the countryside will use this kind of light money, and then the family's pod money will not be able to go out and spend it, and if they can't buy things, they will lose the meaning of saving the currency itself, and they will all have to go bankrupt and commit suicide.

The creditors who lent money also panicked when they saw that the situation was wrong, and the loan sharks they lent to the wealthy merchants had tens of millions of dollars, and the most amounted to hundreds of millions of dollars, and the end of the wealthy merchants meant that the usury they had released could not be recovered, and even if they ate all the property of the wealthy merchants, they might not be able to recover the capital, so the creditors were also angry.

"How can this be! If you say that the ratio of huàn will fall, take us as monkeys, Shaofu is too much to do! ”

"No! We can still use the pod money, there is no need to exchange the new five baht money. ”

"We must not cheapen Shaofu for nothing, we must resolutely protest!"

"Yes, if we don't block the gate, we just shout outside the door, and the Northern Army can't do anything to us!"

The merchants of the eastern and western cities, as well as the powerful people near the Jingshi, organized themselves one after another, claiming to resolutely resist the barbaric acts of the money exchangers, and the protesting crowds gathered outside the gates of the eastern and western cities, and the atmosphere at the scene was enthusiastic.

Such a big movement, in the blink of an eye, spread to 75 counties in Guanzhong, not only the powerful businessmen want to see the jokes, but the people of Guizhou are also happy to watch the excitement, the good show of the gods fighting is not every year can catch up, of course, there is a good show can not miss the onlookers.

Every day as soon as the sun rises, three or four thousand people come to the outside of the money exchange shop, shouting slogans to protest against the money exchange shop regardless of the life and death of the people, and the onlookers gradually come over to see the excitement, the people who were going to line up to exchange money are watched by all the time, and there is a pair of protesters who speak badly to each other, and many people who are frightened do not even dare to redeem the money and flee with their faces.

The protests lasted for three whole days, and the business of the money exchange shop fell by 80%, and the protesters became more and more emboldened when they saw that the business of the money exchange shop was crowded.

In three days, the officials of Shaofu came out and expelled several times, and the crowd dispersed and regathered, and they had to turn to the northern army to drive away the troublemakers several times in a row, and it didn't take long for them to gather back, and there was really nothing to be done about it.

The strange calm in the court, the little emperor could not ask the government within the mourning period, the empress dowager and the queen mother did not have time to meddle in government affairs, the hundred officials and ministers turned a blind eye to the big movements in the east and west cities, and even the Shaofu Cao Shi himself did not react, and the money casting workshop outside the city increased the amount of coinage, and more four-wheeled freight carriages entered and exited several money casting houses every day.

The fact that many people do not move does not mean that the main messengers behind the storm will not move.

Zhang Wuhou Dou Wan put down the curtain: "Cao Shi, that kid is still a little tender, if you can't do anything, you have to do something about the money method, and he can only blame himself for being played to death by us today." (To be continued!)
