In any case, the arrival of several carts of silver gave great psychological comfort to the people outside, they no longer worried about not receiving the silver, and the formation began to become orderly, taking this opportunity, Hu Yimin hurriedly discussed countermeasures with Liu Ziguang.

"The silver in the treasury can last for half a day, in fact, the stock of the capital treasury is still okay, but I didn't expect the run to be so bad, there are a large number of counterfeit banknotes, which are mixed with a large number of counterfeit banknotes, and it costs more than 100,000 taels to pay for these counterfeit banknotes, and now the counterfeit banknotes are still pouring in, but we can't afford not to pay, as long as we admit the existence of counterfeit banknotes, the reputation of Shengchang will be over, and it will not be repaired in a year and a half." Hu Da shopkeeper said.

"Try to raise as much silver as possible, I will send someone to trace the source of the counterfeit banknotes, this is not a simple act against your ticket number, but a paramilitary operation that hits the entire Ming economy, I will report it to the cabinet and the emperor, you can rest assured." Liu Ziguang said with relief.

"Alas, the cabinet can't count on them, looking forward to the fall of Rishengchang, and now our Rishengchang is no longer an object that can be used, but a stumbling block that affects them to make money." Hu Yimin lamented, isn't it, now that the Donglin Party controls the government, they no longer need Rishengchang's financial support, and Rishengchang's life or death doesn't matter.

Several guys who cashed counterfeit money many times were escorted to the back hall of the ticket number and interrogated by Nanchang Fanzi, according to their confessions, every time a mysterious person handed over the counterfeit money to them, and they exchanged it for cash, and then drew two percent to them, this one-line connection joint method is difficult to trace the source.

At the beginning, the common people only took ten taels of silver tickets to redeem, and gradually evolved into larger denominations of silver tickets, and also joined the ranks of redemption, one hundred taels of fifty taels of tickets appeared on the counter of the ticket number, and the larger face value of the promissory notes also began to appear sporadically, and there were already rich businessmen in the capital to contact the ticket number.

Requiring the redemption of a large number of silver bills in hand, this line is tantamount to adding insult to injury, the cash that is not abundant, there is no way to pay such a huge amount of bills, although the capital is not as good as the trade in the south of the Yangtze River, but it is a huge consumption and accumulation city, a large number of silver bills gathered here, do not occupy the circulating market value of the rising silver deposit bank, support the circulation of the market is also so-so, if you pay the large amount of promissory notes that the rich merchants in the capital have accumulated for many years, it is really helpless.

"Hold on no matter what! I have already sent a letter to the Hefei General Treasury, urgently allocated a million taels of cash, and opened up the supply, as long as the first two days are dealt with, we can ease up, our Rishengchang is not easy to defeat! Hu Da shopkeeper gritted his teeth and said.

"I have three ways, one is open source, one is diversion, the other is to intercept open source, that is, to increase the amount of cash payment, we do not refuse to divert, that is, to divide these people who run on the bank, for example, now open sale of China Merchants shares, do not accept cash, only accept silver bills, interception is to threaten those rich businessmen not to join in the fun, on the other hand, to block the source of counterfeit banknotes." Liu Ziguang said.

"Very good, you reminded me that the people are crazy about the run, aren't you afraid that the silver bills will become waste paper, I can raise the interest rate, accept the deposit of silver bills and cash silver, and give a high interest rate of 10% per year, are you afraid that they will not save money?" Hu Yimin also threw out his own tricks.

Two huge airships appeared in the sky above the capital, flying slowly over the densely populated area, and two wide red silk cloths hung down from the airships, which were written in big black letters: "China Merchants will sell shares from 1,000 taels on the same day, and only accept Rishengchang silver tickets and promissory notes for the convenience of accounting." As long as you hold a share of China Merchants stocks, future generations do not have to worry, the original is 10,000 taels and a share of the number of restricted sales, now the threshold is lowered, the ordinary solid family can also afford to buy, and people only accept silver tickets, which can't help but make the people queuing at the gate of Rishengchang think that there are many people at the end of the queue today, thinking that it is better to go to the place where China Merchants sells new shares and crash into good luck, so the crowd dispersed in twos and threes, called a tricycle, and rushed over according to the sales place marked on the airship。

Those wealthy people with large promissory notes were even more interested in China Merchants stocks, and they were no longer in a hurry to cash in cash, but on the one hand sent their families to the China Merchants Preparatory Office to line up, and on the other hand, began to contact acquaintances and friends to see if they could buy more stocks.

The threshold of China Merchants Bureau has dropped to 1,000 taels, there are still a large number of people who can't afford to buy, and the people have no money left at home, and they don't have the conditions for investment at all, they still focus on exchanging the silver tickets in their hands into cash, but the large advertisements at the door of the ticket number inevitably attracted their attention, the deposit interest rate of one percent per year is very high, one hundred taels of silver is deposited in it, and one hundred and ten taels can be taken next year, so the middle class who are good at careful calculations began to use their brains, and the silver will not be small at home, it is better to store in the ticket number to eat interest, and the certificate of deposit is not more than the silver ticket is a registered bill, and there are fingerprints and stamps, not afraid of the ticket number, and the account is very high, thinking of this, some people have changed their minds, and they are willing to beThe silver note in his hand was exchanged for a one-year certificate of deposit instead of withdrawing cash.

On the roof of the ticket number, a man wearing a robe with fragrant cloud gauze and money pattern held a loudspeaker and shouted: "Don't worry, everyone, everyone has a share, our ticket number is silver, and it will be the same tomorrow." Someone in the team responded loudly: "Don't listen to his nonsense, Rishengchang is about to go out of business, everyone hurry up and exchange the silver, one night later, the silver ticket in your hand will become waste paper!" "The common people are ignorant and blindly obedient, and when they heard that someone was bewitched, they began to think again, no matter what, it was the most reassuring to hold the cash in their hands, so there was another flow of people.

Dressed in civilian clothes and mixed in the ranks of the common people, Nanchang Fanzi looked coldly at those guys who were making a fuss, these people were hidden Manchu spies, and they had already been on the blacklist of Nanchang, but they didn't come out to make trouble under normal circumstances, and now it seems that the shadow of the Manchu military aircraft is inevitable in this run.

All the men and horses of the Wucheng Terracotta Division were mobilized, and they formed a human wall at the gate of the Rishengchang ticket number, and used knives and guns to protect the smooth progress of the exchange work, and at this moment Liu Ziguang had already entered the palace to face the saint, and he wanted to persuade the emperor to open the treasury of the household department to save Rishengchang.

"I can't help it." Zhu Youxiao spread his hands and said helplessly. This kind of matter involving specific government affairs, the emperor has no right to speak, the cabinet said no, no, the cabinet elders do not know about today's run, but they say that Rishengchang is just a private ticket number, the imperial court has no responsibility to save the market, let alone interfere with this normal economic activities, if this head is opened, any shops have to come forward, which is very detrimental to the healthy development of the market economy of the Ming Dynasty.

Liu Ziguang had no choice but to find another way, and just wanted to say goodbye and leave, Zhu Youxiao said: "I can still be the master of my internal money, and there seem to be some old big ingots in the library, and it is estimated that there are hundreds of thousands of taels of Qing's family that can be used for emergency relief." "There is a special gold and silver inventory in the inner treasury, where the emperor's family foundation is placed, these fifty or one hundred and twenty-one big ingots have been left in the treasury for many years, and they have oxidized, and the fineness is indeed excellent.

Liu Ziguang brought a group of internal guards to the inner warehouse, but the big iron door of the warehouse was closed, the huge iron lock was rusty, and the officials who managed the warehouse did not know where to go.

"Someone, get it for me!" Liu Ziguang's thunder ticket number is already very insufficient, if it can not be replenished, the common people want to make trouble and suppress it by force, it is absolutely impossible, just like the way of the Manchu spies, in addition to wanting to cause financial turmoil, creating civil antagonism is also one of the purposes.

Finally found the warehouse clerk, this bold guy actually said that he couldn't open the warehouse without Dai's father-in-law's warrant, Dai's father-in-law was Liu Ziguang's old acquaintance, he had supervised it twice when he was auctioned in Qishuyan Machinery Factory, and there was some unpleasantness in it, Liu Ziguang knew that this was the rule of the Internal Affairs Office, and he didn't want to be in danger, so the little official suppressed his anger and asked them to hurry up and find Dai Yi.

"Grandpa Dai is not here, you can come back another day." This is the answer of the little eunuch in Dai Yi's room to Liu Ziguang, this thirteen or fourteen-year-old little eunuch obviously didn't know the famous Zhenwu Marquis, and regarded them as ordinary guards.

"Where did Dai Yi go? He's not here, the key is always there. Benhou was ordered by the emperor to open the treasury and take silver, who would dare to slack off? "Liu Ziguang is really hot, so much silver can't be accessed through an iron gate, this mood really makes people angry.

"Gonggong Dai has a lot of opportunities, who knows where to be busy, you are on the emperor's orders, why don't we, this is the royal family's internal funds, not a penny. I'll talk about it another day, I'm not available today. "The little eunuch is not very old, but he speaks very well, quite Dai Yi's demeanor.

With a snap, the little eunuch had five more finger prints on his face, and a big internal guard withdrew his slap and said viciously: "What bullshit, Father-in-law Dai delayed the big event of the Hou Ye, none of you can escape from it." Fast turnkey. The little eunuch covered his face and was terrified, and suddenly became excited again, looked at Liu Ziguang behind them, and shouted: "Cousin, these people are scolding you." ”

"Who said that our family is a bullshit Dai father-in-law?" An ugly male duck's voice sounded behind the crowd.
