Chapter 193: The Government Closes the Shop
Yu Ren showed a wry smile and said to everyone, "You don't have to hug it. We have long stated that all the banknotes printed and distributed in our store can be exchanged at any time when you come to our store, and it is not necessarily a money bank, and other stores can also be exchanged. As long as it's a store opened by my Shen family.
I understand everyone's thoughts, but I am afraid that the government will seal the money bank in three days, and your silver will have nowhere to redeem.
You can rest assured. Don't say that his prefect may not be able to seal my store, that is, it is really sealed, and you can also take the banknotes to my house to redeem them. The Yu family's money village can't be opened, but the Shen family is still there. As the saying goes: if you run, the monk can't run the temple. What are you afraid of! ”
After hearing this, everyone's mood stabilized a little. But they are still not reassured. "Yu is in charge of the house. This official document was signed by the prefect himself, so why do you dare to say that they dare not do this? ”
Yu Ren sneered, "Everything can't escape a single word, not to mention that I, Yu Ren, am not a soft persimmon that is easy to pinch." The former governor of Su Song, Lord Xiong, is still going to invite me to dinner! He dared to touch me with a small prefect? There are no doors! ”
Yu Ren originally didn't like high-profile people like this, but he also knew that if he didn't make a high profile at this time, how could these people in front of him leave.
"But Lord Xiong has been transferred! As the saying goes: people are in favor, and people are selling. At this time, Yu Dangjia still wants to rely on the power of Lord Xiong to suppress the Ma Governor's Mansion, but I'm afraid it's not realistic! Someone questioned it on the spot.
Yu Ren sneered, "What you said is certainly good. But I'm not alone, Bear is not alone. I don't say that I know all the adults in Susong's officialdom, at least I know most of them. There is a good saying: without diamonds, there is no porcelain work.
Since I, Yu Ren, dare to open a money bank, how can I easily let people be closed. ”
The onlookers listened to Yu Ren's words, and then they were relieved a little. As a result, everyone was not as crowded as before, and many people saw that they were too crowded, so they went back temporarily.
In order to facilitate everyone's exchange, Yu Ren dispatched almost all the manpower, not only opened several more exchange points in the bank, but also set up many temporary exchange points outside the bank, specifically for people to exchange banknotes.
Everyone saw that Yu Ren not only did not hinder them from exchanging silver, but also opened many more exchange points for everyone's convenience.
This trick was much more effective than Yu Ren's words, and many people were no longer so anxious. Although there are still a lot of people at each exchange point every day, there is no longer chaos, and everyone is patiently queuing.
On the third day, the silver in the treasury of the Yu family was suddenly seventy or eighty percent. But Yu Ren's heart was not in a hurry, because he knew that the banknotes outside had already been collected, at most only one or two percent, even if they were all redeemed, he would be able to cope with it.
Three days later, there were no more guests from Yu's money to exchange the money. But many people came to this street early with curiosity, and they wanted to see if what Yu Ren said that day was the truth or if he was blowing.
At the right time in the morning, the head office of Yu's money on Zhengyang Street opened on time. After a while, I saw a group of twenty or thirty people, hurrying over with knives. Behind these people are a large number of miscellaneous gangsters, and together they are afraid of no less than a hundred.
When the pedestrians saw this, they were busy giving way, and many people followed this gang from afar to catch fast, to see the excitement.
Among these catches, the leader is a middle-aged man in his forties. Everyone in Matsue Prefecture knows him. He is Sun Qing, the chief catcher of the Songjiang Mansion.
Sun Qing led this group of people to the head of Yu's Qianzhuang on Zhengyang Street with a menacing attitude, and then surrounded the place with a wave of his hand. Sun Qing took five or six of his subordinates and entered the shop majestically.
The onlookers from a distance began to talk.
"This Sun Laohu actually dispatched in person, it seems that Yu Xiaoxianggong is going to suffer a loss this time."
"I think what Yu Xiaoxianggong said a few days ago is just a big sentence. No matter how capable he is, he is still a small citizen, how can he fight the prefect! ”
"I think so, didn't you see that Sun Laohu brought so many people here today? This Sun Laohu is the guy who can bully the soft and fear the hard, if Yu Xiaoxiang really has a big backstage, how dare this Sun Laohu be so arrogant. ”
"Alas! It's a pity that this Yu Xiaoxianggong is a young talent, I'm afraid that it will be difficult to pass this level again! ”
"We won't have such a good banknote in the future. Don't say it, now that we're used to using paper money, it's really unaccustomed to letting us use back the silver. It's really inconvenient to carry this bulky thing on your body. It's a pity that there will be no more such good days in the future!
I heard that Xu Sanshao on the other side also opened a new money bank, and he also printed money, I don't know how"
"Do you mean the Xu family money village opened by Xu Sanshao? I changed. Not only are their banknotes of poor quality and easily damaged, but they also have an even more important drawback. When you go to change the banknotes, the guys in their shop are very enthusiastic, and when you take the banknotes to exchange for silver, they suddenly change their faces, as if you owe them a lot of money in your previous life, and they have to try their best to deduct some money and not give you the full amount. I'm not going again. Even if I don't have any banknotes, I won't go. ”
In the crowd, there was a lot of everything. But everyone unanimously agreed that this time Yu Ren must be closing.
However, what surprised everyone was. Sun Laohu, who has always been fierce, was beaten out this time with a blue nose and swollen face. A big man who looked like Li Kui walked to the door with Sun Laohu in one hand, and then slammed him to the ground.
"Boy, don't open your dog's eyes wide. What kind of place is this, and is this also the place where you go wild? What is the identity of our little father-in-law, you dare to be rude to him. Go back and tell you that the man surnamed Ma will say that if he knows each other, he can be the prefect for a few more years, and if he doesn't know each other, I'm afraid that in less than two months, he will have to go home. ”
Sun Qing was hit by the big man and almost broke his bones, but he didn't dare to say anything. He just got up silently, then waved his hand to the men who came with him, and walked away.
This one was a surprise to everyone. As a result, everyone's confidence in Yu Ren has increased a few points. However, they are also well aware. This Sun Qing is just a pawn of the Ma Governor's Mansion. Yu Ren can get Sun Qing, but he may not be able to get the prefect of Ma. Since he has beaten Sun Qing, this Ma prefect will come soon.
Sure enough, after a while, I saw that the prefect of Ma came here with a bunch of officials.
Ma Juren must be the prefect after all, and he is different from Sun Qing. He came to the door of the money village, calmly got off the sedan chair, and then walked in with only two entourage.
Ma Juren entered the money village and saw that there were no guests in the money village at this time, not even the shopkeeper man, only one person sitting in the main hall. This man is in his twenties and handsome. Although he is only a young man with a weak crown, his eyes are calm and spicy, and he is not moved at all when he sees the pomp and circumstance of his prefect.
When Ma Juren saw this person's eyes, his heart jumped a little, knowing that he was afraid that this matter would not be easy to handle today. When Sun Qing came back, Ma Juren saw that he was beaten and his nose was swollen, so he asked him how he came back. Sun Qing only said that he hadn't seen the main owner yet, so he was beaten by a big black man. Then he pretended to be seriously injured, and he didn't go out anymore.
asked a few of his subordinates, and everyone said the same thing as Sun Qing. Ma Juren was furious when he heard this, so he only went out in person and brought people here. He knew that he had just arrived in Songjiang, and these officials did not buy his account much. For him, it is often a matter of yang and yin. In addition, there has been no prefect in Songjiang Mansion for more than ten years, and only one Jiao Tui official presides over the overall situation.
Now that he is here, it is tantamount to robbing Jiao Tuiguan's job, at least he can no longer be the boss of this Songjiang Mansion, and he can no longer collect money as unscrupulously as before. As a result, this Jiao Tui official did everything possible to secretly embarrass him. And this Sun Qing is Jiao Tuiguan's confidant, so Ma Juren has never been very at ease with him.
Seeing the young man in the hall, Ma Juren arched his hand. "Dare to ask, but Yu is in charge?"
"Don't dare to be, the villain is Yu Ren." Yu Ren said, standing up from his chair.
"I don't know if the official proclamation sent by this government three days ago, has Yu Dangjia received it?" Ma Juren was not polite when he came up.
"Roger."
"Why do you knowingly commit it when you receive it?" Ma Juren feigned anger.
