At this time, another crisis arose within the Free City.

This crisis came from the merchants of the Free City, and with the retreat of the residents of the Second Outer City into the city, the rapid movement of the city's army, and the attack of the White Feather Legion could no longer be hidden.

The merchants who knew the news were all worried, and a considerable number of merchants ran to the Franklin Bank and demanded to redeem the huàn bank notes and take away the Mithril coinage.

The teller of the bank was clogged up by the crowd of people, and the manager of the bank, the position of Wang Qinianming, was constantly wiping his sweat, because he knew that it was impossible for the bank's current Mithril coinage to support the exchange of bank bills at the same time.

The appearance of bank notes is something that Franklin and his team did in order to force the Mithril standard when the current production of Mithril coinage could not keep up with the actual needs, and the bank notes relied on the fact that there would not be a large number of merchants who would demand the exchange of Mithril coins at the same time to make up for the temporary lack of money.

The Mithril standard did not collapse, and the role of bank bills was not small, and the bank notes were able to play a role in the circulation of the Free City, relying on Franklin's reputation for many years and the deposit of Mithril mines.

Because the people who accept the bank notes believe that relying on the Mithril Mine, the Free City can continue to mint Mithril coins, so the bank notes in their hands will not be reduced to waste paper, as long as they always maintain this infinite exchange ability, the bank notes on a certain amount of dù are equal to the Mithril coinage.

But now it's different, a sudden war almost instantly destroys the bank bills and threatens to destroy the Mithril standard.

Because of the war, the merchants would be worried that the Free City would lose the Mithril Mine, so if the bank notes in their hands were too late to redeem the huàn, they would turn into waste paper, so they all ran to redeem the huàn.

And all come to exchange huàn, which will form one of the things that banks are most worried about, a run.

"Get out of the way, I'm going to redeem the bank notes in Huàn's hand. ”

"What's the matter, let me come, I'll also huàn. ”

"I'm going to redeem huàn too, let's hurry up and redeem huàn, maybe I won't be able to change it if it's late." ”

There was a crowd of people in front of the bank counter, and hundreds of businessmen supported it, holding bank bills in their hands, and asked for redemption.

"Gentlemen, you are arguing like this, I don't even know who to give huàn first. "At the counter was a young female magic apprentice from the magic school in Liberty City, and after knowing that she didn't have enough wealth to become a real mage, she chose to accept the invitation of Franklin Bank, at least her basic knowledge of magical mathematics to work here.

But now she had a black line, and the Franklin Bank had never been so noisy since it opened, and she was overwhelmed by what to do with the current madness, only that she was in front of her a crowd of people sticking in from the iron fence, shaking the bank notes with Chris's mark in her hand, and the sound of foaming at the mouth, demanding redemption.

"Oh my God!" the apprentice magician screamed with her hands over her ears.

And the manager sweated even more on his head, because he knew that more businessmen and even citizens were on their way.

Since the birth of the bank, the implementation of the means of storing interest, the inhabitants of the city of commerce have been very quick to accept this thing, after the beginning of the Mithril standard, as long as the deposit of a Mithril coin, it is converted into Mithril coinage, because according to the decree of the Free City and the Mithril standard, in this city, only Mithril coinage is eligible for unlimited legal repayment, if the debt is repaid in the currency of other countries, the creditor can refuse, and if any disputes arise from this, it will not be protected by the city.

The gold and silver coins of Asturias that qualify as auxiliary coins are only used as auxiliary coins, and the amount of the value of a Mithril coin must be paid in Mithril coinage, otherwise the part can also be rejected or not protected by the city.

Therefore, many citizens have long converted their property into Mithril coinage and deposited it in the Franklin Bank, and now that they heard that the war was about to break out, they naturally came to ask for exchange with their passbooks or bank bills.

The manager was roughly aware that the Mithril coinage in the bank's vault in the underground base would not be enough to cover the current run, and if it did, it would not be necessary to make bank bills at all.

The previous coinage was all used to prepare for war.

His body slowly shuttled to the ground against the wall, and he didn't even have the strength to wipe his sweat.

Fortunately, at this time, a turning point appeared, and the two teams of personal guards rushed from the inner city to maintain the scene in time and control the situation that was about to get out of control.

The guards did not forbid any exchange of huàn, but asked the merchants and citizens to line up and exchange huàn one by one.

At the same time, someone quietly woke up the manager who was about to pass out, and secretly told him to reduce the teller, leaving only the previous female magic apprentice to be in charge of the counter, so that the amount of redemption was reduced.

The most important thing is that Franklin actually came out of the inner city, and when the White Feather Legion was about to enter the city, he did not appear in the city for the first time, but appeared here.

"Lord Castle, I heard that an army is going to attack the Free City, is the war about to break out?" someone immediately shouted.

"Ladies and gentlemen, my dear subjects, and faithful merchant friends. I am here to confirm the news and avoid unnecessary rumors and panic. It is true that an army from Mordor is preparing to attack us, but do not panic, believe me, trust the warriors of the Free City, for the sake of you, for the sake of this city, we will repel the enemy. Franklin shook his fists and said loudly, surrounded by the guards.

The crowd immediately buzzed like bees, and Franklin looked at everyone calmly, "Don't you believe me, have you forgotten how this city was founded, how I was with you and led you to fight off the enemy during those hard years? ”

The crowd quieted down, and Franklin's words had some effect, especially the inhabitants of the city, their parents, and even the slightly older youth of the younger generation, who had experienced attacks from the orcs when they were young, and it was only after the orcs began to trade with the Free City more than ten years ago that the peaceful era came, so in their memories they believed Franklin's promise.

But the merchants were not so easily fooled, many of them came from far and wide, and did not fully trust Franklin to such an elevation as the inhabitants of the city, at most based on years of fairness and justice, but in the face of war, this trust was far from enough to dispel their fears.

"So, Lord Franklin, can we continue to redeem the bank bills in Huàn's hand indefinitely?"

But to everyone's surprise, Franklin had no intention of stopping it at all, "Of course, when I did this, I promised that there would be no limit to the minting of Huàn Mithril." ”

He waved his hand, and the guards walked into the Franklin Bank with bags of heavy coins, and cut open one of them, and the Mithril coins rolled out and scattered all over the ground.

"Look, the production of Mithril coinage in the past few months is all here, and you can exchange huàn light without restrictions, but the insufficient part can only be exchanged after this war is over, and the subsequent production can continue to be exchanged for huàn. ”

"But Lord of the City, you just said that there is no limit to the redemption of huàn. ”

"I said there is no limit to the redemption, but there is only so much coinage, and I have put all the coinage of the previous few months here, doesn't that show my sincerity?, or do you think I will lose in this war?" Franklin looked at the man who questioned him.

At this time, the citizens of the city who were present shouted: "The city of freedom will win, the city of freedom will win!"

This crazy love suddenly suppressed the suspicions of the foreign businessmen like the autumn wind sweeping away the leaves, although it was impossible to eliminate it, but at least the momentum was suppressed.

Taking advantage of the cheering of the citizens, Franklin exclaimed: "These coins will always be kept in the bank's vault, waiting for you to exchange them at any time, and the insufficient part will continue to be exchanged after the victory of the war." But you must understand that you must believe and support me to victory, and if I fail, will not the money you give to Huàn be robbed by the invaders from Modo?"

The merchants' faces immediately changed, and they suddenly understood, in this situation, even if they could redeem all the money, where could they flee?

Barely out of the city, you might encounter Modo's army on the way, and then be killed and robbed of all your money.

Compared to this, there is only the expectation that Franklin will win, in this case, there is no need to rush it now, because if Franklin wins, the Mithril Mine will still be in his hands, which is enough to ensure that the Mithril coins in the bank notes and passbooks in his hands can be exchanged for huàn.

Seeing that the merchants and citizens were finally appeased, and left the Franklin Bank one by one, eliminating the turmoil of the run, Franklin breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

The biggest external crisis is the upcoming attack of the White Feather Legion, and the biggest internal crisis is that if there is a run on the war in the future, and the Franklin Bank cannot fulfill its promise, then the civil strife will occur immediately, and sweep the whole city, and the internal and external crises will explode together, then the war will be lost, and even if the run is forcibly suppressed in the way of military management, and then the external war is won against the sky, the free city will still be a dead word in the future.

Because if it evolves like this, the Mithril standard will die, and with it, Franklin's credibility will be buried, and the Free City will be ruined and abandoned by the merchants.

Without the support of the merchants, the value on the orc's side will also decrease, and it is difficult to say whether it will continue to support it, this is a chain reaction.

Fortunately, when they were preparing for war, Franklin and the others discussed it and prepared some countermeasures.

For example, only the bag of the large pile of coins brought in just now actually contained Mithril coins, and the other bags were full of iron coins.

This move was Wang Qinian's idea.

At this moment, Franklin suddenly missed the young man, and Agatha.

But when Bernhard at the head of the city sent someone to inform him that the White Feather Legion had appeared in the city, Franklin could only temporarily put aside his worries about his daughter and Wang Qinian, and put all his spirit into the upcoming war.
