The promotion of Qian Zhuang was carried out for another period of time.

But the banknotes have not yet been promoted, for Yang Zhao, the money village is not yet successful, and he needs to make the next plan, but at this time, he has a special idea.

"Who should I ask to do it?"

Yang Zhao pondered for a moment and said, "Please Wen You come to see me." ”

Soon, Li Ru came to the General's Mansion.

"My lord, what do you command?"

"Help me arrange a group of people to check which businessman in our business district is the most unclean, or has a criminal record, especially tax evasion, and robbed all the money they get from trading."

"Robbery?"

Li Ru asked in disbelief: "Lord, you let me go to rob?" ”

This is still an official robbery!

Yang Zhao nodded and said: "That's right, anyway, it's against those profiteers, you can just grasp the proportions yourself, and the money you robbed back will be put in the treasury, and you don't need to return it, but you have to keep it secret." ”

Li Ru's mind thought quickly, and he asked in surprise: "The lord doesn't want to use this method to promote those banknotes, right?" ”

Yang Zhao laughed and said, "Wen You can also see it?" ”

Li Ru knew Yang Zhao's recent thoughts, it was easy to guess, and nodded: "The transaction of our big Han, even if it is carried out in gold and silver, the amount is large, it is also a huge amount of money, and you need to pull dozens of carts of money back at will. ”

"That's exactly what I thought!"

Yang Zhao nodded and said: "Paper money is better than metal money, and the use of money is not only to issue currency, but also to gradually develop in the future, you will know, right!" After robbing the money of those merchants, you should properly publicize it so that more people know that metal currency transactions are easy to be robbed. ”

Li Ru asked: "If the matter is big, and those businessmen ask us to suppress the bandits, won't they beat themselves?" ”

"Then slash!"

Yang Zhao said: "I will arrange a group of soldiers to make a show, and when it is almost over, let the people who pretend to be bandits return, and the bandit suppression is over, and at this time I can boldly promote paper money." ”

"Good!"

Li Ru felt that Yang Zhao's method was too bold.

But he liked it, such a bold approach.

Li Ru's actions were still very fast, and the arrangements were also very fast, and three days later, news came back to Luoyang that two businessmen had been robbed on the way back.

Five days later, seven more merchants were robbed.

All the money they brought home after the transaction was robbed, and not even a copper plate was left.

Under Li Ru's deliberate support, these news soon spread throughout Luoyang, and many businessmen who had not yet left the business district were panicked and did not even dare to go out of the city.

But if you don't go out of the city, you can't stay in Luoyang for a long time.

They have to do other business, they can't stay there all the time, and they also need to bring funds back to turnover.

Yang Zhao got Li Ru's result, and he couldn't sigh, there are still a lot of unclean businessmen, but deal with them slowly, and then investigate these people when the banknotes are promoted.

During this period, he received some requests, hoping that the imperial court would send troops to suppress the bandits.

Yang Zhao immediately arranged a group of troops to walk around outside Luoyang, and finally couldn't find the bandits.

The merchants saw that the general had already sent troops, and they thought it was safe, so many of them took the risk of leaving, and it was obvious that several more merchants were robbed.

This frightened them so much that they had to ask for another crackdown.

But this time the bandit crackdown is over, and no one dares to go out of the city again, they are all very afraid.

Li Ru reported these results to Yang Zhao.

"Well done!"

Yang Zhao nodded with satisfaction: "Now those businessmen in the business district are getting more and more afraid, right?" ”

Li Ru said: "I'm so scared that I don't even dare to go out of the city gate." ”

Yang Zhao said: "I will arrange a few more people to go to the money village to publicize it, publicize the banknotes, and Wen You will sort out a list of those who have been robbed, and then thoroughly investigate them in the future, these people with unclean foundations." ”

Li Ru did as requested.

Next, Yang Zhao called Zhen Yan and Lu Zhu over again.

The plan to promote banknotes is going on perfectly.

——

Two more days passed.

In the business district, those businessmen who were about to leave were so anxious that the imperial court sent troops to suppress the bandits, but the result was not good, it is said that those bandits were very shrewd, and the officers and soldiers ran away when they came, and the officers and soldiers left and killed back.

There's no way to take them at all.

Many merchants were waiting to send money back, but they didn't even dare to go out of the city gate.

At this time, the money bank was much more popular than before, but most of them were exchanged for silver and gold coins, or gold and silver for five baht coins, and no one wanted paper money.

Today, though, there is one exception.

There was a merchant who pulled ten carts of coins, came to the gate of the bank, and said loudly: "I want to exchange banknotes!" ”

As soon as these words came out, people inside and outside Qian Zhuang were shocked.

"Are you sure you want to exchange banknotes?"

The staff of the money bank ran out as soon as possible and asked in disbelief.

The merchant nodded, "Didn't you hear what I said?" Ma slip a little, hurry up and exchange it for me, I have to go out of the city and go back to Xuzhou tomorrow, those damn bandits outside, just waiting for us to bring money out of the city, if I bring paper money out of the city, those thieves will definitely not know that I have money, see how they can rob it. ”

As soon as these words came out, some nearby businessmen who were also waiting to leave the city couldn't help but light up.

They believe that the man is right.

A carload of money can easily attract thieves.

If the money is exchanged for pieces of paper, those thieves will not know that they have money on them, and they will naturally not be robbed.

"You're crazy, those are all paper, worthless paper."

Immediately, someone else said it was not feasible.

The merchant didn't care and said: "The money village belongs to the imperial court, I believe that the imperial court will not be greedy for my money, even if it is greedy for the imperial court, it is better than being robbed by thieves, we also have a money village in Xuzhou, just change it when you go back." ”

Others listened and thought it made sense.

The imperial court should not be greedy for their money.

What's more, the money bank is in the business district, they have exchanged paper money, as long as there is this certificate, they can come back to the money bank at any time to ask for money, they should not dare to be greedy for money.

Unless this imperial court is really so corrupt.

"Hurry up and exchange money for me."

The merchant said again.

He is the trust that Yang Zhao found.

The staff of the money village pulled the money in, and then arranged for someone to count it, so much money, the workload of counting was also very large, and it was not until the afternoon of the next day that enough banknotes were handed over to the merchants.

This merchant no longer stayed, and went straight out of the city to go back.

There are large amounts, small amounts, and large amounts, which are specially given to these merchants, as a large amount of storage and trading, more like a storage certificate, and small amount of paper money is the normal circulation in the market.

At present, most of the promotions are large, because the transaction amount of merchants is very large, and the situation must be opened from them first.

Since yesterday, many people have been paying attention to this merchant who exchanged banknotes, watching him really take money out of the city.

The hearts of other businessmen are a little impatient.

"I'm going to exchange banknotes too!"

At this time, another businessman came over with money, he was not a trust, but really wanted to exchange it, and wanted to leave Luoyang.
