Chapter 342: Ask Him to Vomit Blood
Ma Linger shuddered, her eyes lit up and she said: The depositors will definitely worry about losing their silver, and will definitely rush to redeem their money, and then the Thirteen Shop will be exposed.
Zhao Yulin gave Ma Linger a thumbs up, and everyone looked surprised.
At this moment, the guard reported that the inspection envoy Jiang Ligang and his wife were visiting.
Everyone was confused. Why did Jiang Ligang bring his wife here?
Later, Jiang Ligang came in front, followed by his concubine . When they were still five steps away, his concubine fell to her knees with a plop, shouting to the Third Young Master to save her husband. Then she immediately raised her head and shouted: Ligang, kneel down quickly.
Jiang Ligang fell to his knees in astonishment, begging the Third Young Master to spare his life.
Zhao Yulin and Ma Ling'er immediately stepped forward to help the man up and asked him to sit down and talk. What was going on?
Jiang Ligang's concubine cried and said that Ligang was not clean and Qian Fuxing had caught him and was blackmailing him to do something.
Then Jiang Ligang stammered and told him about the Guanzi money notes issued in Chengdu five years ago. He suspected that the money shop had forged them and printed too much. After he took people to investigate, Qian Fuxing asked his brother-in-law Jiuzi to give him a big golden rat.
Today, Jiuzi came to him and reminded him of the bribery incident that year. He asked Jiang Ligang to send more detectives to ensure safety and take care of Qianpu Street.
He told Zhao Yulin that Jiuzi's words about ensuring his safety were false, but his true intention was to test his opinion, because he had never done anything illegal since he followed the Third Young Master, so how could he leak the secret to them.
Jiang Ligang's concubine hurriedly said that Ligang was very upright. If this happened in the past, every official would have been compromised. They asked the third young master to give Ligang a chance to reform. They were not willing to be manipulated by others.
As she spoke, the woman took out a golden mouse from her arms.
Damn, the casting technology is first-class.
Zhao Yulin looked at the lifelike shape of the golden rat and admired the exquisite craftsmanship of the casting craftsman.
Seeing him staring at it, Jiang Ligang thought that Zhao Yulin liked it, so he immediately said that if the Third Young Master found it interesting, he would give it to him.
His wife immediately scolded him for what he said. The young master has so much wealth that it is impossible to count it, how could he be interested in this little golden mouse?
Aren’t you afraid of humiliating the Third Young Master?
Jiang Ligang immediately began to review himself in panic.
Zhao Yulin smiled and said: He just thought that this item was exquisitely crafted and was indeed a good collectible.
He praised Jiang Ligang's concubine for her sensibleness and consideration of the overall situation. He returned the little golden mouse to her personally and said that the past was over. Ligang was not well off, so the golden mouse would stay at home. In the future, he could decide whether to keep it or sell it, just as a lesson for us to learn from in this life.
The couple immediately thanked him for not punishing them.
Zhao Yulin told them to continue fighting the financial defense battle as if nothing had happened .
At this time, Fire Phoenix called for dinner, which she arranged personally, and prepared several large dishes.
Everyone went to the restaurant to eat, drink and chat.
The next day, Zhao Yulin arranged the issuance of the new currency and invited Lao Cao to go for an outing in Hengqu Town.
Cao was still a little worried, worried that Ma Ling'er and the others would not do a good job and lose the court's money. He asked Zhao Yulin what was good about Hengqu? He refused to go.
He smiled and said that if we stayed in the government office and they were hesitant, we would not be able to do it well. We had to go out and let Qian Fuxing and the others see that they had left, and then they would go ahead and do it boldly.
Let's go to Hengqu. He remembered that there is a place there that is suitable for setting up a training camp. We can select it to be the officer training camp for the Shenwei Army. The general happens to be in Chengdu to take care of it.
Only then did Lao Cao agree to set off.
The money shops in the city were already open. Qian Fuxing's shop posted a notice that the exchange rate of money notes had been raised by one cent, which immediately caused a sensation among passers-by.
Yesterday, they raised the interest rate by one point in the morning and afternoon. Not many people came to exchange money notes, but a few big merchants came in the afternoon and exchanged more than one million taels of silver. He believed that the merchants saw the government burning and destroying money notes, which offset his interest in raising the interest rate to attract depositors and merchants.
Qian Fuxing was depressed. He thought for half a night and then made a decision. Since no one came, he took the opportunity to quickly raise the price. When those people saw the profit, they would definitely come to buy the money he bought.
So, he simply raised his score by one point today.
Some people exclaimed, wow, this is incredible, the money is increasing.
In fact, most of the passers-by are here to play with money. Who would hang around on this street for no reason?
The news of the price increase caused by the money shop spread quickly, and the information was immediately transmitted to the headquarters of Rongcheng Bank. Ma Linger was of course sitting there to give orders.
After hearing the news, she pretended to be surprised, patted her chest and said, "Never mind, just do our job." She arranged for her deputy Qin Qinyao to go and inform Qian Fuxing that although we were following the market, we couldn't make too much noise.
Here, she also went out and took a carriage to check the branches in Caotang and Baihuatan. Zhao Yulin asked him to consider the layout and improve the branches in the city.
After Qin Qinyao relayed Ma Ling's original words to Qian Fuxing, he reminded him to be gentler. He raised the score by one point each time, which was obviously an act of going against the government and singing a different tune.
Qin Qinyao was a little nervous .
Damn, these vampires are so greedy and they won't stop until they achieve their goals.
Qian Fuxing had already received the news: the bank had no response. After listening to Ma Ling's message, he judged that the bank was unwilling to lose money and had stopped following the order, and warned them not to make any moves.
This is the bank admitting defeat.
Humph, what Ma Ling'er said is right, this is determined by the market, he can set the exchange rate as high as he wants, and the bank doesn't have to pay for the win or loss.
Therefore, Qian Fuxing did not take Ma Ling's words seriously at all. He laughed and said that they had estimated that Qian Yin was worth the price, which could be regarded as giving benefits to the common people and supporting the government.
Damn it, this guy speaks in a very righteous and reasonable way.
The two of them were close friends, and although Qin Qinyao was nervous, he still smiled and drank the fine new tea and left.
As for Qian Fuxing, just do whatever he wants.
Money Shop Street gradually became lively, and ordinary people began to run there, taking out their own money and exchanging it for silver to deposit in the shops, but most of them just exchanged the silver and left.
At the end of the day, Shisanpu had paid out another two million taels of silver and collected a lot of money.
The shopkeepers gathered at the home of the third shopkeeper Ma Chenggui for a drink, saying with mixed feelings that the exchange rate had been raised, but more money was sold than bought. The silver was not kept in the shop after changing the account, and there was always something wrong with the business. In order to balance himself, the shopkeeper of the Thirteenth Shop had stopped buying money notes and only sold them instead of buying them.
Qian Fuxing smiled and said that this was just the beginning and the good days were yet to come.
Continue tomorrow and increase by another point.
Everyone exclaimed "Wow", and after discussing for a while, they decided to listen to his decision.
Ma Linger was also happy in the mansion. Master Lu arranged for someone to take the money received from the cooperative to the Thirteenth Shop to exchange it for cash, and he took it back without leaving a single ounce.
Si Niang said it was good , but it had not yet been sold at the highest price.
Zhao Yulin's fourth wife is an expert at doing business. She could tell at a glance that this was a scam by Shisanpu and that the price would definitely rise for a few more days before the goods were shipped.
Master Lu introduced to her: This is what my brother said about helping the money to revive. We are not going to attract popularity. Without big investors investing money in transactions, those people can’t go crazy.
Ma Linger went up to support Si Niang and said, "Why is the cooperative short of this little money? Our mother is teaching the daughters-in-law how to do business."
Si Niang smiled and said that she was just a sweet talker.
Fenghuang immediately went over to support her and said, "I'm still here."
Si Niang's happy face turned into an orchid.
In the government office, Lord Ding became restless and ran to find Li Zhongmian to drink and talk. Then Zhao Yan went to find Lord Ding, and when he disappeared, he chased him to Lord Li's house, and the three of them toasted each other.
Mr. Ding said the same thing about Yulin. At this critical juncture, he and Mr. Cao fled to Qingcheng. Did they really trust several women to do things?
Mr. Li said with a smile that young man Yulin must have made all the arrangements, and that this was just a plan of playing the empty city trick, which was fine.
Why did Mr. Ding say angrily, "It doesn't matter?" The money shop went up by one cent today. Just one cent, my heart starts beating fast just looking at it. The money market in Chengdu is going to be in chaos.
Zhao Yan also put on eye drops and said that he came all the way here because he was worried about this matter.
If the bank doesn't respond, the people will probably make trouble. Someone has already complained to the Supervisory Office, saying that our bank is lowering the exchange rate for notes, which is a naked sucking of the people's blood and sweat.
Damn, this hat is quite big.
Mr. Ding asked him: How does Hua Yue explain it?
Zhao Yan said angrily that there was no explanation at all. The Inspectorate did not accept the case, saying that the money market was all clearly marked and there was no forced buying or selling. The government did not order the money notes to be invalidated, and the money notes that were destroyed were those collected by the Transportation Department. How could it be said that they were sucking the blood of the people?
Ding Gong thought about it and realized that this was the truth. At the moment, the imperial court was only exchanging the currency notes, and did not declare the old Jiaozi and Guanzi to be invalid. Why should I care about them?
After the old man figured it out, he immediately put down his bag and started drinking very relaxedly, which made Zhao Yan look at him with new eyes.
The next day, the exchange rate of Qianyin increased by another cent, and the exchange rates of silver, copper coins, iron coins and other coins also increased rapidly. Qianpu Street became the most lively district in Chengdu. Jiang Ligang quickly dispatched more people to patrol and perform duties, which made the shopkeepers of Shisanpu feel relieved and happy.
In the evening, the shopkeepers gathered together to discuss countermeasures. Ma Chenggui thought that the goods could be shipped. Today, many strangers came to exchange money notes. These people already believed that the money notes would increase in price.
He also spent nearly 500,000 taels of silver, and each family must have spent a lot to buy money.
Qian Fuxing said confidently: "Why are you panicking? We should stop when the heat has just started. There must not be much buying money. We will continue to raise the price by one cent tomorrow. Those who don't have much money can buy and sell a batch of goods by themselves. This will not only liven up the market, but also keep the cash."
The hungry wolves nodded with green eyes, saying yes, yes, yes, let’s keep going.
Late at night, Ma Linger made an emergency visit to Zhang Xiangyang's residence at Caotang Academy.
