Chapter 137: Silver-Walk
Silver! Whitish, small and heavy.
Compared to gold, it is not as valuable as it, but the amount of silver is far greater than that of gold.
This also resulted in silver being the most important currency at any time in feudal society, and silver was far more important than gold......
Ordinary people have a piece of broken silver, and they will collect it with their hearts and put it close to their bodies.
Wealthy people own a silver ingot as a family heirloom.
Even if a person who is extremely rich has a lot of money, he can't help but be greedy when he sees a lot of money.
But how would you feel when a whole cart of silver was parked in front of you?
What about a hundred!
On the straight official road, a hundred carriages loaded with silver nuggets were parked neatly.
Rao is accustomed to seeing gold and silver, and the Kanto landlord, who claims to have a lot of money, couldn't help but widen his eyes.
In an instant, greed blinded everyone's eyes, and everyone couldn't help but take a step forward.
"Drink!" The soldiers of the East Palace shouted, and the weapons in their hands were raised to the top.
The three hundred soldiers shouted in unison, and the shouting suddenly woke up the people who had fallen into greed.
All the soldiers, their swords and guns unsheathed, the landlords had no doubt that if anyone dared to pounce, the guards would not hesitate to skewer them.
Everyone's eyes instantly turned red, but they stopped.
These Kanto landlords usually think that they are rich, but when they see the whole white cart and silver placed in front of them, everyone can't help but feel ashamed.
"Bank!" Zheng Xian whispered thoughtfully.
The sound was not loud or small, but it reached everyone's ears.
Everyone was shocked and couldn't help but turn their heads to look at the plaque of the Imperial Bank.
The four big characters of the Imperial Bank are all silver, and only the bright red Great Seal of the Acting King is scorching.
"Bank!" More people sighed.
It is only now that they truly understand the true meaning of the Imperial Bank.
It turns out that it is not a lie, this is really silver-line.
Was this an unintentional move by His Royal Highness the Acting King, or did he already anticipate the current situation of the bank.
Maybe His Royal Highness the Acting King is not as they imagined, many people thought of Yang Yu's various magical performances, and couldn't help but retreat.
A hundred carts of gold and silver were only opened for twenty breaths, and the guards stepped forward, boom! The doors are closed.
Shang Lu saw the shocked expressions of the landlords, knowing that His Royal Highness the Acting King of the Dao Dao had achieved his goal, he nodded slightly to Dong Yue.
Dong Yue received the signal and shouted: "Get started!" ”
"Drive!"
The hundred carriages started slowly, and each horse was doing his best, and the muscles and bones were tense and unusually laborious, showing the heavy weight of the carriage.
When the last carriage was submerged in the Imperial Bank, the shock and greed in the eyes of the landlords quietly retreated.
Everyone and their companions continued to talk casually, but they all seemed absent-minded, their eyes wandering, and from time to time they looked in the direction where the silver cart had disappeared.
Yan Lai once again appeared in front of everyone with a smile, his face was relaxed at the moment, with this tens of millions of foundations, he was full of confidence in dealing with this crisis.
Thinking of the acting king Yang Yun's generosity, Yan Lai couldn't help but feel broken, and pulled out 10 million pieces at a time, which is not a determination that ordinary people can make.
Domineering and confident, this is Yan Lai's evaluation of Yang Yu, and at the same time, he is secretly glad to be able to follow such a master.
"Ladies and gentlemen, His Royal Highness the Acting King has ordered someone to send enough cash, and the Imperial Bank will work overnight tonight, but according to the old man's estimate, I am afraid that the first hundred cards will only be completed by dawn."
Yan Lai paused for a moment, looked at the reactions of the landlords, none of them moved, did not make a fuss like before, and continued: "Please also ask customers other than the hundred, come back tomorrow morning, and the Imperial Bank will return the full amount at that time." ”
After Yan finished speaking, he bowed.
Everyone couldn't help but be a little moved, looked at the crowded crowd in front of the bank, and then looked at the number plate in their hands, even if they stayed up late, it would not be their turn.
Anyway, the license plate has already been received, and sooner or later he will be able to get the money, and it is not bad for this night, even if he can call Liangshi, he will not be able to break Daxing City overnight.
"Since this is the case, then the old man will retire first!" Guo Yuha of Huaxian County smiled, got up and said, Guo Ding hurriedly got up and followed.
"The old man's ninth concubine is about to give birth, you are one step ahead." Zheng Xian also hugged his fists.
"Mr. Zheng is about to grow old and have a son. Congratulations to my brother. Guo Yu said with a smile.
"Thank you Brother Guo for your kindness, I'm happy today, why don't you and I go have a drink!" Zheng Xian's words changed, and he no longer mentioned his concubine, and even proposed to drink.
Guo Yu was stunned for a moment, and then replied: "The little brother is disrespectful." ”
The two left together, Zheng Lu and Guo Ding smiled bitterly and left with them.
"There is still something to do in the next house, so I will leave."
"The three boys of my family didn't go to school today, so the old man will bring him back."
……
"My stove is still burning, and if I don't go back, I'll be confused!" The last person saw that others had told them all the reasons, and they had an idea.
Soon, the originally crowded crowd disappeared after a while.
Yan Lai couldn't help but smile when he saw the personnel leaving, and most of the matter had been decided.
"Humph! The villain has a will. The head of the Liu family snorted angrily.
The sound was so loud that it came directly to Yan Lai's ears.
Yan Lai's face was solemn, and he looked at the head of the Liu family, he had a deep memory of the head of the Liu family, although the Liu family was a top family in the Kanto region, but he came to Daxing City late, and the rise of Li Mi made him suffer heavy losses.
When the head of the Liu family came to Daxing City, he only saved a small amount of money in the Imperial Bank.
The head of the Liu family, who suffered heavy losses, saw the prosperity of Daxing City and wanted to make a comeback here, but he suffered from no capital. I even wanted to take out a loan of 100,000 yuan without collateral.
After Yan Lai refused, there were many officials who coerced and lured Yan Lai to let Yan Lai loosen his mouth, but Yan Lai rejected them one by one.
"Master Liu!" Yan Lai shouted loudly.
"The old man doesn't associate with the cheap merchants." The head of the Liu family looked disdainful and spat out wild words.
Without waiting for Yan Lai to react, he threw his sleeves and left.
The head of the Zhang family snorted coldly and left immediately.
Some of the other family masters were expressionless, and some left in a hurry with their fists clenched.
Yan Lai's face was cold. It's not because of the vicious words of the head of the Liu family, he has heard even more ugly words.
What really worries him is the attitude of the other family owners, who are not the same as the small landowners who came before him.
There is a world of difference in status, savings, and influence, and if it receives the influence of the head of the Liu family, I am afraid that things will have twists and turns.
Perhaps, this matter is not over yet!
Yan Lai couldn't help but have such a thought in his heart.
With the departure of these family landlords, everything that happened in the Imperial Bank spread throughout Daxing City in the shortest possible time.
Hundreds of four-wheeled carriages pulled truckloads full of silver, all the way from the imperial city to the gate of the Imperial Bank.
All of this happened in front of the eyes of the citizens of Daxingcheng, but they did not realize what an astonishing wealth they had passed in front of them.
"A hundred carts of silver! How much should that be worth? Anyone who heard the news had their eyes wide open.
The super load capacity of the four-wheeled carriage has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of Daxing citizens.
A four-wheeled carriage can carry a weight of 2,500 catties. A hundred carriages were two hundred and fifty thousand pounds of silver. In ancient times, one catty was exchanged for sixteen taels, that is, four million taels of silver.
In the Great Sui Dynasty, copper coins were the most widely circulated currency, but copper coins were too heavy and not conducive to large transactions.
Among them, the amount of gold is small, the amount of silver is the largest, and the value is expensive, which is called the best choice for well-deserved block trading, and the value of silver has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
"Alas!" Many people are saddened that so much money has floated in front of their eyes, but they have not been able to take a second look, what a great regret.
"My Daxing City is the richest city in the empire!" Someone proudly said that this statement was immediately agreed by everyone.
Throwing out a hundred cars of silver for the first time, Yang Yun's generosity stunned all those who paid attention to the Imperial Bank.
The run frenzy cooled down instantly, and compared to the huge wealth of the Imperial Bank, his little savings seemed a bit ridiculous.
Tonight, the entire Daxing City was in a state of agitation because of the hundred carts of silver from the Imperial Bank, and I don't know how many people in the road tossed and turned tonight, and had no intention of sleeping.
