Chapter 354: The Run Tide Is About to Rise
"Did he really say that? After listening to Zheng Tong's report, Li Chi knew that Zhou Zhe was reminding him when he said that.
As long as Qianzhuang Yinlou is still not controlled in Dasheng's hands, it will be a day when everyone will divide the fruits of Dasheng's labor with a knife.
Seeing that the emperor was deep in thought, Zheng Tong stopped talking, he was also waiting for the emperor's statement, after all, every day that dragged on now was likely to make the situation worse by one day.
After a while, Li Chicai asked, what does this VAT mean.
Zheng Tong explained: "Our dealings with the four major factions are not necessarily directly based on grain and mineral resources. The grain was made into wine, made into other commodities, and the minerals into directly usable iron utensils, all of which were restricted from the trade in food stamps. Let them buy our things with silver tickets, and we naturally have to collect more silver tickets, otherwise they only need to print and solve the problem. ”
The emperor nodded: "It's not impatient." ”
Indeed, the way is to tighten step by step, first let the food stamps replace the silver stamps in the basic transaction, and then gradually advance. Similarly, if you save water, first plug the gap, and then increase the height and strengthen the embankment.
"This tax rate can be changed, depending on the price in the market. Zheng Tong added.
This is one of the links that Zhou Zhe explained to Fan Wenliang, he can only tell Fan Wenliang part of his understanding and ideas, but not all of them, after all, Dasheng's situation Fan Wenliang understands more than Zhou Zhe, so he can find the most suitable plan. Zheng Tong only perfected on this basis, and finally reported to the court.
The emperor also understood that the good news from Beiyuan at this time was also an opportunity for him, but Beiyuan's lack of soldiers and food was an excuse, and it was also an excuse for him to limit the outflow of resources.
Now that there is a war, food resources are in short supply, and restricting the outflow is a good temporary policy, and everyone understands that the emperor has the final say on how long the war will take, and the policy will be like this, and it will not be changed. When everyone gets used to it, it will be a natural success. The latter hand will control other aspects, and it is only a matter of time before food stamps completely replace silver stamps.
This hand is really beautiful, but Li Chi is also a little unhappy in his heart, he feels that he has been calculated. Militaristic affairs, you are forcing me to make decisions, not convincing me.
didn't say it on his lips, but in his heart, Li Chi left a stalk.
With a stroke of the pen and a big seal, the temporary policy will be decided.
Due to the tight fighting on the Northern Front, all grain, iron tools, spirit grass, and spirit liquid transactions were based on the pricing of food stamps.
When the long and large announcement came out @ Taiwan, countless people rushed to tell each other, some thought that this was good news, because they had a lot of resources hoarded in their hands, and the bad news was that the deacons of the four major factions and the joint money bank silver building, it seems that the purchasing power of silver tickets is declining.
It seems too early, this is a temporary policy, and the war on the northern front is tight. But what if it goes on like this?
Zhou Zhe can't manage so much, Fan Gong's business is also his business, Fan Gong actually took a knife for him, but now, he has no clue, which makes him anxious, but sometimes, the case cannot be solved in a short time.
Once again, Zhou Zhe found Liu Taoren.
"You saw the food stamps, what do you think?"
Liu Taoren looked helpless, although it is true that he is an imperial businessman, but there are shares in the money houses of various sects and relatives. He smiled wryly
"What else can you think, the bottom of the kettle is drawn. Qianzhuang Yinlou is now just surviving. I'm afraid that my hundreds of millions of silver dollars will eventually become waste paper. ”
Looking at his painful expression, you know that this is the case, Zhou Zhe reminded
"This matter, anyway, it is estimated that this is the case, if there is no major military event of the four major factions joining forces to attack Dasheng, the silver ticket will be replaced. If they really join forces to attack, then tomorrow they will be replaced, whether they leave or stay, you can do it yourself! ”
Liu Taoren was silent for a long time, holding his forehead with his hand.
"I didn't expect this day to come so suddenly, is it because of Fan Wenliang?"
Zhou Zhe was stunned, he actually guessed it
"Yes! Not really. ”
"Got it!"
"What will you do if you understand? Die with them, or withdraw in time to stop the loss, at least, the silver ticket can still buy something now. Zhou Zhe didn't want Liu Taoren's last worth, property and even his life to fall into the quagmire, and he would collapse with the collapse of the economic lifelines of the four major factions and his relatives.
Liu Taoren thought for a long time and said: "If the price of the silver ticket drops again, at least you can buy spirit stones, why did you forget this? But it's not like you?"
Zhou Zhe smiled, never expecting that the last bit of thought would be punctured by Liu Taoren.
"Unexpectedly, it was you who couldn't hide it in the end. After speaking, Zhou Zhe took out a box, and after opening it, the brilliance of the room was milder than the light of the artificial spirit stone, but it was even brighter than the natural spirit stone, and it seemed to be something in between.
Liu Taoren took a quail egg-sized one, if it was natural, it would naturally reach the price of 100,000 taels of silver, and now, the purchasing power of the silver ticket has decreased, and it will take at least 120,000 to win such a spirit stone.
"Is this your hole card?"
Zhou Zhe smiled: "It's this." ”
Liu Taoren frowned: "How many spirit stones can you have? Even if you sell 200,000 taels, they can print a silver ticket of 1 million taels with another hand, which is completely wasted." ”
At this time, Zhou Zhe showed his hideous smile like a prehistoric beast
"I don't sell silver tickets, I sell cash, how much do you think is appropriate?"
Liu Taoren's previous doubts and worries turned into fear at this moment, and he asked tremblingly
"You're going to do something big. ”
Zhou Zhe laughed: "You know, they don't have so much cash!"
It's true that there isn't that much cash.
No matter how big a bank is, it is afraid of one thing, a run.
The spirit stone in Zhou Zhe's hand was obtained from the physical array left by Qi Xin, and the spiritual energy reserves were no worse than the natural spirit stones.
The entity large array is a complete skeleton structure, and the spiritual energy is compressed into spirit stones through the large array through the special spirit guide with an intact skeleton made of gold water, and all it takes is a huge spirit gathering array and a small pebble as a template and time. It can be described as inexhaustible. Completely turning stones into gold.
With so many spirit stones, you can do anything with half the effort, and Zhou Zhe chose the most ruthless path.
Arming the army, manufacturing equipment, and always strengthening themselves, but Dasheng's blood is flowing to various sects every day, rather than this, it is better to finish the battle, directly draw wages from the bottom of the kettle, and break their blood vessels.
Once these spirit stones are auctioned, 100,000 taels of cash silver will inevitably cause the cash silver to flow to Dasheng, if Zhou Zhe flows out of a large amount, then the run will be unstoppable. More people holding silver tickets will also realize the falsity of silver tickets, and they want to hold the hard currency of Lingshi in their hands, and when the time comes, under the frenzy of runs, the four major factions will inevitably lose their reputation.
Nothing could be scarier than that.
Liu Taoren was speechless, at this moment, he looked at Zhou Zhe's eyes were extremely complicated, with sighs and sympathy, more like, looking at a dead person.
"If you do this, you will become the target of everyone, and the Book of Heaven will not be able to protect you. ”
Zhou Zhe smiled
"At the most difficult juncture, the Book of Heaven accepted me. I've done so much, and it's kind of repaying the favor. I don't blame anyone if one day. ”
Liu Taoren looked at Zhou Zhe in shock, and pointed at him, you.
Zhou Zhe waved his hand: "One hundred in the box." If you don't want to, I'll have to sell it on the street. ”
Liu Taoren knew at this moment that he couldn't persuade this friend who had been dealing with him for many years. When I talked about business with him before, it was really a verbal bargain, bargaining, and no concessions. At this moment, he understood that some people, in addition to competing for interests, are also willing to sacrifice their lives and forget death for their own Taoism.
A few days later, the auction house, even when it was June, sat sweating and did not discourage everyone's enthusiasm.
Because, at this time, silver tickets, only some things can be bought at the auction house.
The sophisticated weapons produced in Hexi, the spiritual liquid and spiritual grass in Hedong, and the elixirs of various sects are all available, and one by one they have been auctioned at a higher price than before.
Until the end, the auctioneer shouted
"The next one is the long-awaited spirit stone. ”
The news of the sale of a large number of spirit stones was released before the auction, which was an inevitable operation of the gladiatorial auction, but this time, the internal guard joined the ranks of spreading the news, which was not considered to be Zhou Zhe's private use, in fact, it was also regarded as the work of the internal guard, weakening the world.
Therefore, before this, there were already many sects that wanted to get the spirit stone to exchange it for silver.
Now there are not many sects in Dasheng, there are only a few of them, three in Hexi, and almost zero in Hedong, if it is hard to calculate, the transport team headquartered in Fengcheng Mansion can be counted as one, and Shandong is the Mountain League, there are so many dozen, but they can't become the climate, and they are managed by Si Shengnan.
The rest, Henan Dao in the last war has been swept away, and the rest are all sects from the realm of the four major factions.
The silver ticket was exchanged for cash, which made the shopkeeper of the money bank very speechless, and now it is exchanged for cash, and when the time comes, won't it have to be exchanged back?
But as soon as the auction of the gladiatorial arena came out, all the people in the money bank were not calm.
for the money they exchanged did not come back.
Naturally, it was Liu Taoren who collected the cashier, and the final result was that the silver was dragged to the Blood Moon Hall in Xin Chase by several carts, and there were only so many empty houses there.
One hundred thousand taels of silver, one hundred, is ten million taels of silver, and the money that can be exchanged in the capital is almost two layers less.
This is the first cut.
The second knife was five days later.
The weapons in Hexi, the spiritual liquid in Hedong, and the spirit stones that were auctioned again began to be traded in cash.
This time, public opinion was in an uproar.
Isn't this a reversal of history? Isn't it convenient for him to have a silver ticket?
Once again, the inventory silver of the Qianzhuang Silver Building in the capital was missing a few layers. Several shopkeepers were not calm, and they found Liu Taoren to ask who the seller was. He also reported the unusual news to the deacons of the various sects.
Liu Taoren naturally did not expose that Zhou Zhe was the mastermind behind the scenes, but several sect deacons had eyeliner.
Every time, the cart comes in, the cart goes out, and the heavy objects are dropped, and it is all escorted by the magic dragon rider, what is the silver?
In the end, the person found it, but he didn't dare to act rashly, it was Xin Chai's mansion, and if he moved easily, he would pick up the tiger's beard.
But you can't sit idly by, eventually.
Although Ye was the first to find Zhou Zhe.
