Chapter 95: Lu Bu is angry
First of all, Queen Guo asked the printing department to immediately print the newspaper to prove that the matter was deliberately rumored by someone with intentions and was to cause the Xuzhou riots.
I believe that after the people of Xuzhou understand that this is the enemy's conspiracy, they will return to Lu Bu and no longer follow the trend.
Of course, in order to make the people feel at ease, the bank's money must be released.
It's just that the efficiency of the bank has to be slowed down a little.
At the same time, gold, silver and jewellery were deliberately swaggered across the street and transported to the bank in the open air to prove that the bank definitely had sufficient reserves.
Paper money is absolutely equivalent to the purchasing power of copper coins and gold and silver jewelry.
Queen Guo's series of strategies, everyone felt that it was feasible and followed it one after another.
However, at this time, Xuzhou was already in turmoil.
Under the impetus of well-intentioned people, the news spread ten, ten, hundred, and million. In just one day, the whole of Xuzhou knew about it.
All of a sudden, the workers went on strike and went to the banks to withdraw money.
And even if the bank does not deliberately slack off, it is impossible to release a large amount of money.
The people couldn't get a penny for half a day, and with the encouragement of those who had a heart, they rioted all at once.
The bank is so slow, then they will take it themselves.
Soon, there was a conflict between the people and the officers and soldiers, and a bloody case broke out.
What's more, even some officers and soldiers and soldiers were unsettled, thinking that Xuzhou was short of money, and all the money was eaten by Lu Bu.
If it were not for the long-term training of military orders, the officers and soldiers and non-commissioned officers would have to make trouble.
Transportation and communications were backward, and when the news reached the ears of Chen Gong and others, there had already been a bloody case.
But if we don't stop it, it will lead to an even greater disaster.
Pang Tong had to give the order for all military suppression.
In particular, those who take the lead in making trouble will be killed.
In extraordinary times, it doesn't matter if you are instigated by someone with a heart, or if you are a conspirator yourself, you will be killed if you dare to make trouble.
All of a sudden, Xuzhou was full of blood, and the people were panicked.
Queen Guo couldn't wait for the newspaper to be printed, so she went around with limited manpower to publicize and persuade the people to disperse and return to their posts.
As for the money that is stored in the bank, it can definitely be withdrawn.
Everyone is making such a fuss, how do they still work, how do they withdraw money.
After all, the common people are a vulnerable group, and as soon as they were suppressed by the military, some people soon retreated.
After all, the bank didn't say that it wouldn't give money, it was just slow.
With so many people going to pick it up at the same time, how can it be possible.
In addition, the people of Xuzhou are grateful to Lu Bu and have considerable cohesion. If it were not for the fundamental interests involved, the people would never have rioted.
Paper money is equal to copper coins and can still be used to buy a variety of items. So many of the people were scattered.
Besides, it's getting dark, so what can I do if I don't disperse.
Although there were no bigger riots, there were still long queues in front of the banks every day.
Workers are passive and worried about the loss of their money.
Such a big event was naturally transmitted to the Han country by speedboat.
Lu Bu, who learned the news, was not very angry.
Damn it!
Lu Bu immediately ordered that Xuzhou had a special precept, and those who made trouble would be killed.
In addition, he decreed that all the goods under his rule could henceforth be purchased only with paper money.
Whoever wants to run out of paper money will be left to fend for himself.
Yes, Lu Bu was furious. In his opinion, he was too good to the people and forgot what he had done.
If you dare to make trouble with him at any instigation, you will die.
The law does not blame the people, and it does not exist with him.
He didn't believe that under his iron blood, paper money could not be promoted.
You must know that the current Han country is Daxing banknotes.
Why, it's not that I'm scared by his army.
The vanquished, where there are still human rights.
If you don't listen, you die.
All along, Lu Bu didn't want the Han people to die too much.
But the condition is that all of them must support him, not rebels and thieves who oppose him.
Although an iron order was issued, LΓΌ Bu hurriedly transported a large amount of gold and silver back from Han.
Without these gold and silver as the base, let alone the people, I am afraid that the army and officials will also make trouble.
Paper money is so short that many people still don't think it's real money.
Lu Bu's order came to Xuzhou, and the people instantly became dumbfounded.
Without banknotes, they can't buy goods, so how can they live.
Once again, the common people treated paper money as copper coins.
Besides, it's much more convenient to use paper money than copper coins, so why not use it.
So the people dispersed and returned to their posts.
As for foreign depositors, Lu Bu still released money.
Because the bank's reputation cannot be damaged, everything has to be done according to the rules.
It's just that if you have saved a regular amount of money, although you can withdraw it, you have to put it behind.
Although the riots subsided, in just a few days, it brought huge economic losses to Xuzhou.
Not to mention the money, more than 1,000 people died and countless were injured.
In Lu Bu's eyes, the loss of people is greater than the loss of money.
There are still a large number of people at the door of the bank every day to withdraw money, or exchange money.
There are certainly no copper coins, and they all have to be paid with gold and silver.
Therefore, the people can only exchange for the same amount.
Without a small amount of copper coins, how can you live?
In this way, paper money still passed.
The rest are foreign depositors.
Although the funds of foreign depositors are far less than the local number in Xuzhou, they are still a huge amount of money.
Once again, banks are running out of cash.
Lu Bu had no choice but to mobilize the officials and soldiers under his rule to take out the gold, silver and jewelry at home first to offset the urgent need.
Now that the riot had subsided, everyone was breathing.
Chen Gong took the lead in exchanging all the gold, silver and jewelry in his home into paper money. Because he believed that following Lu Bu, it wouldn't be long before he would get more.
Then Pang Tong, Xu Shu, Qiao Xuan, Chen Deng and other ministers took the lead in donating gold and silver.
In this way, I finally persevered.
After the incident subsides, it is natural to investigate the source.
Soon, the spearhead was pointed at Cao Cao in the north.
Knowing that it was the Cao family who was in turmoil again, how could the officials not be angry. Not only were the officials angry, but Lu Bu was also angry.
He is not angry when he fights with a knife and a gun, and he plays conspiracy methods, which is the most irritating to him.
Lu Bu summoned a group of ministers to the study and asked, "Zhuqing, if we attack and merge now, can we capture and defend it?" β
How could everyone not be surprised, knowing that Lu Bu was really angry and wanted to attack Cao Cao.
The crowd pondered, all sorts of considerations.
After a while, Chen Gong said: "If the Divine Marksman Battalion returns, we have a great chance of winning with our military strength. It's just that since it was an attack on Cao Cao, why did the king choose to merge with the state instead of Jizhou. Isn't this a reluctance to go far? β
Knowing that everyone would ask, Lu Bu said: "Cao Cao now has 300,000 armor, and there are many generals under his command. Cao Cao's foundation is set in Jizhou, and it is very difficult to defeat Cao Cao in a battle. And if the battle stalemate lasts too long, the southern candidates will definitely take the opportunity to attack. Therefore, this battle must be resolved quickly. And the reason for attacking and annexing the state is for three reasons. β
Lu Bu paused: "First, this king is familiar with the annexation of the state, and it is easy to formulate a strategy. The second is that the annexation of the state has just experienced war, and Cao Cao has not yet fully consolidated the annexation of the state, so it is easy to seize the attack at this time. And the third is the most important reason! β
