Chapter 151 Crazy treasure money! The appearance of all living beings who speculate on coins in Jinling! Are the feudal princes being taken advantage of?
Xihuamen.

The First Bank of Ming Dynasty.

It was the time when the sun was the hottest in the afternoon, but no matter how hot the sun was, it could not withstand the enthusiasm of the people of Jinling. People from all directions rushed over, and the Governor's Mansion had to send troops to maintain order, which made the people's queues even longer. It's two or three miles away.

This scene was even more lively than during the Jinling crisis a few days ago.

Liu Haiyuan and the others did not queue up, but they were able to stand at the front and intuitively saw the grand spectacle of money speculation all over Jinling.

"Each person is limited to purchasing five taels of silver notes..."

"Can treasure notes be sold as well?"

They also knew about the policy on purchasing limited treasure banknotes. They were even more confused when they saw the people who bought the treasure banknotes were so happy, as if they had won a big prize.

At some point, treasured banknotes that would be considered as toilet paper by others can trigger such a scramble situation.

Did they stay in the country for too long and couldn't keep up with the times?
They even saw that some people couldn't afford five taels of silver, but a few people worked together to buy it.

"Haha, I bought it! I bought it! One thousand, six hundred and sixty-five taels! One price, twelve taels of silver! Whoever wants it, if you don't want it...it won't be at this price tonight!"

"I want I want!"

"Twelve taels and five cents! I want it!"

"Thirteen taels! I want it!"

They quickly understood why the people of Jinling were so crazy.

Because after a common man bought 1665 taels of treasure banknotes for five taels of silver, he actually hawked them on the spot. As soon as he changed hands... the five taels of silver turned into thirteen taels.

Then, several people happily took the cash and divided it directly.

Another one, run to the back and continue queuing.

"This...this, why is this? Why would any fool be willing to pay more than twice the price?"

The scene of this live transaction immediately made Liu Haiyuan and his group of merchants shrink their cerebellum, and once again suspected that they did not know the world.

"Idiot? Haha... I still don't know who the fool is!"

"You must be outsiders at first glance. You know why it is so outrageous to double the price, but there are still people rushing to get it... Of course there is a bigger fool!"

"Look, the treasure banknotes they collected for thirteen taels will definitely be sold for fifteen taels when the feudal princes come! On the contrary, the princes will rush to get it!"

Fortunately, their doubts were quickly solved. There is no shortage of experts in this currency speculation scene.

These experts immediately gave them popular science on the necessity of the feudal king collecting treasure banknotes.

"So...the current treasure note is definitely not a treasure note! It is a chicken that can lay golden eggs..."

"Brothers, do you want to give it a try? I just bought it, fourteen taels per lot, and I only earn you one tael. You only need to wait until the evening, when the lords come to collect the treasure money, and you can add it to the resale value. Sell ​​it to them for fifteen taels per lot!"

Naturally, after the experts completed their popular science, they began to sell them precious money.

The financial market is so magical, even though these people don't know about stocks.

But now the terms one-hand and two-hand transactions have also been invented.

"First hand? What is it?"

Liu Haiyuan and the others were confused again.

"One hand is 1665 guan! It is the amount stipulated by His Majesty that one person can redeem it. 6 hands is almost guan! By then, you can make five or six taels of silver by changing hands!"

"If you have a lot of money, you can buy six hundred lots in one go, which is exactly one million guan! If those princes think that you are a round number of one million guan, they will increase the price! Yesterday, a prince offered seven thousand taels At a price of one million dollars!”

"With this change of hands, I will make a net profit of six to seven hundred taels! Where in the world can there be such a great good thing!"

Experts immediately popularized a complete transaction chain.

"Their lord... isn't a fool, right? Why do they have to pay more to buy it? They can just collect it separately!" Liu Haiyuan didn't understand the lord either.

"Haha! If you say that, you don't understand our Ming princes! How troublesome it is to spread the collection! It's nothing more than saving one or two hundred taels of cost! We, the Ming vassal kings, are so rich, with more than a hundred years of wealth... …The difference between six thousand six hundred taels and seven thousand taels is only four hundred taels of silver…”

"If you were a prince and a rich man, would you be able to slowly collect them one by one like us Qiu Ba?"

"What's more... now do you know how many vassal kings there are in Jinling? It is conservatively estimated that there are thirty!"

"Thirty of them, Your Majesty seems to have stipulated that each of them must burn one million gold coins to express their filial piety to Taizu!"

"The treasure banknotes currently circulating in Jinling are your Majesty's ten million, plus the conservative ones from the private sector... at most five million."

"This means that half of the feudal lords may not receive it!"

"You are the vassal king, do you dare to be unfilial?"

"On the other hand... worshiping ancestors costs at most one to twenty thousand taels of silver. Is it a lot?"

Expert Dong Ge seemed to understand the mentality of rich people very well. His theories were like an old sow wearing underwear, one after another, which frightened Liu Haiyuan and the others.

But they did understand the truth... The rich people really found it troublesome, and the vassal king didn't care about the gains and losses of these hundreds of taels, not to mention that it was such a grand thing as ancestor worship. In places like Quanzhou, Fuzhou, Fujian, they spent a whole day to worship their ancestors. Twenty thousand taels is considered commonplace.

But understanding is understanding, and understanding is understanding.

They still can't accept this money-making model, it's too advanced and subversive.

"How about, try..."

"Shall I try Jushou?"

Some people in the group were immediately impressed, and soon became infected by the atmosphere of nationwide currency speculation, and wanted to spend money to participate in this feast.

"Wait a minute... What if the feudal lord doesn't accept it? These treasure notes are actually worth five taels of silver at most..." Liu Haiyuan stopped his companion and asked a key question again.

"Haha, the feudal lord won't accept it... then, brother, don't worry! If you can't sell it today, come to me again, and I'll take it all back at this price! I just happened to be stocking up on the last day, maybe I can make a lot of money !”

The transaction forms a closed loop again.

"Try..."

"I'll do ten hands!"

"I'll do ten hands, twenty hands too!"

With this worry solved, a group of officials from the Municipal Shipping Department became even more excited, and some immediately took out their banknotes.

"Hey... wait... do you still have banknotes? Dazheng Bank? Where did you get Pheasant Bank? Sorry... we only accept cash transactions here!"

However... Expert Dong's rejection of the banknote once again confused the officials of the Municipal Shipping Department.

"What, this is a banknote!"

"Aren't banknotes just money?"

Their outlook was refreshed once again.

"Haha, brothers... you should come in later. Take a look at this money-making business first, and then exchange your banknotes for silver. By the way, you can either go to Daming Bank and take a look... this Do we, Da Ming Bank, recognize the banknotes from Dazheng Bank? I heard that the mortgage function was launched just this afternoon. Maybe... you can also exchange the money."

Brother Dong just smiled and walked away, and then went next to them and used the same words to attract customers.

And they witnessed directly that there was really a big customer who took a lot of money and collected a lot of precious money in one go...

Both buyers and sellers smiled with satisfaction.

"I...I think it's better to visit Lin Han first."

Liu Haiyuan turned to look at his companions. What he had experienced in just a short time today had completely subverted their perceptions.

"Okay... let's go."

Several people could only reluctantly leave this place, but this grand occasion was destined to be unforgettable for them.

……

"Yes, Mr. Li, your money can now be deposited in Daming Bank! The previous situation will not happen again. If we don't have your money, we can give it to you with treasure banknotes of the same face value!"

"If that doesn't work, you can go directly to the Ministry of Household Affairs to pick up grain of the same value with the bank notes from our Daming Bank! Anyway! We represent the imperial court! If you don't believe the imperial court, who else can you trust?"

"Similarly... isn't the treasure trading outside so lively now?"

"It's dangerous to carry money around!"

"We have issued regulations, and the transaction of treasure banknotes is within the scope of Daming Bank!"

"If there is a loss, the court will make up for it! Isn't this more convenient?"

In Daming Bank, Xu Yunmiao has already taken charge and started to collect deposits for Daming Bank. "Yes! Very convenient!"

"The court shouldn't be like the boss of Dafa Bank who escaped!"

"Miss Xu, I believe you!"

"No, I believe your Majesty! In all these years, this is the first time I have seen your Majesty handing out money to the people!"

"On this point, His Majesty is a good emperor! Better than Li Shimin or Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty!"

The deposit acquisition went smoothly. Under the stimulation of banknotes, Daming Bank completed the deposit acquisition and the establishment of the trading market. The depositors gave full trust to Daming Bank and Zhu Houzhao.

"Haha... How can I be so good?"

In the inner room of the bank, Zhu Houzhao heard these words completely, and he couldn't help but touch his nose with guilt.

"Your Majesty, you are indeed so kind... You just heard it yourself. The people really made money. In all dynasties, how could your Majesty give money to the people like this..."

Huang Bao was waiting by the side, even more flattering.

"Okay, you did a good job... Now that the Daming Bank has been officially established, I will return to the palace. You guys do a good job!"

Witnessing the prosperity of the currency speculation market and the complete transaction chain with his own eyes, Zhu Houzhao was naturally completely relieved.

Accompanied by Huang Bao and Zhu Youqian, he quietly left Daming Bank.

……

"boom!"

"That's unreasonable!"

"Dear relatives! Listen! What do people outside call our vassal king? Fool, and the one who is taken advantage of!"

"We clearly gave them the opportunity to make money, but not only did they not thank us, they also took us as their scapegoat! Can you bear it?"

"Today, I have found out the news! Those hateful businessmen, before we went there, had already discussed that the asking price for six hundred hands of treasure banknotes was eighty taels! For less than eighty taels, they still Not for sale!”

"This, this is simply outrageous!"

Prince Ning's Mansion.

Prince Ning slammed the table suddenly and cursed with an angry look on his face.

"Yes! Dear relatives... Prince Ning is right, we shouldn't let them look down upon our vassal king like this! We are still the princes of the Ming Dynasty after all! They actually unite to bully others and kill us like pigs, really This is unbearable! I propose that from today on... we should not be taken advantage of again!"

"They want to copy the high value of the money! Let them copy it!"

"Anyway, on the last day, if we don't buy, the price of the treasure banknotes will drop to 20 lots! If we want to achieve this alliance, we must not be taken advantage of!"

King Anhua also issued a timely initiative.

The rumors outside really hurt their self-esteem.

"But... King Anhua, as far as I know... the person who raised the price of the treasure banknotes to seventy taels in one go last night must be from your Prince Anhua Palace. You have collected enough treasure banknotes. ...But I don’t have any treasures in my hands at the moment. Do you want me to be unfilial on the anniversary of Taizu’s death in five days?”

It's just that...the two people's suggestions were of no use. Zhu Youbin, the sixth son of Emperor Xianzong, directly exposed King Anhua's face.

"That's right! King Ning... King Anhua! As far as I know and what I have discovered, you must have deliberately raised the price of these treasure notes... Our people noticed that Prince Ning secretly ate it. Thirty-five taels of treasure were resold for 60 taels. If you can do this business, why can’t we do it?”

Naturally, the vassal king cannot be of the same mind, and... they all have Crouching Dragon and Phoenix, and they know more. Some of them have even copied the operations of Prince Ning and others, and they all want to be the banker.

As soon as these words came out, King Ning and King Anhua felt a little embarrassed.

"Ahem... This, how do you say this!" Prince Ning was choked for a moment.

"What happened in the past was indeed something we did wrong!"

King Anhua wanted to be more diplomatic and stood up again to admit his mistake, and then said generously: "To express my apology! King Ning and I are willing to take out two million Guan treasure notes and share it with everyone! Everyone only needs to pay fifty Just pay the price of two, and then... everyone must form an alliance and never indulge in those hateful businessmen!"

"Fifty taels..."

"Two million strings?"

As soon as these words came out, the excited feudal princes calmed down, and then many people showed suspicious eyes.

"By the way, Prince Ning and Prince Anhua, I am now doubting how many treasures you already have in your hands."

King Yi Zhu Youbin asked directly: "So generous? How much money did you get for the treasures in your hands? We are all a family, can you be more honest? You can't still want to make money from us, right?"

"Yes... you can easily take out two million yuan... how much is it? You have so much, so don't panic, but we currently only have one or two million yuan in hand, which is not even as much as some businessmen have. When the time comes, if we really can’t stop it, we will be drowned in the saliva of those censors!”

This time, the feudal kings once again formed a chain of suspicion.

"No more! That's really all I and King Anhua have. Moreover, we paid for it with sixty taels of silver. We also see that we are a family, so we would rather suffer a loss." King Ning suddenly said I was smart enough to deny it immediately.

"Yes! King Yi, you just said that I bought one million guan at the price of 70 taels yesterday, but I took it out today and lost 20 taels. It was because everyone was For our own sake, how could we cheat our own family?" King Anhua said sternly.

"is it?"

"I don't believe it!"

However, if the Zhu family did not cheat on their own people, the Zhu family would not cheat on their own people. Naturally, these vassal kings did not believe it.

So... King Ning and King Anhua had to conquer one by one, talking until their mouths were dry. Then the fifty taels of treasure notes dropped to forty-five taels, and the vassal kings ostensibly agreed to advance and retreat together.

"Your Majesty!"

"Oh no!"

"I don't know where this guy came from! He actually bought treasure banknotes at a price of one hundred taels today! He is about to buy five million banknotes!"

"Go and see, everyone is going crazy!"

However... just when they finally signed to move forward and retreat together, someone came in a panic and reported unexpected news.

"what?!"

"Who is it? Who is it..."

"It can't be you, King Yi!"

Their first reaction was shock, and then... they looked at each of them with suspicious eyes, and suspicions arose out of thin air, forming a new chain of suspicion again.

"I don't even bother to do this kind of thing!"

"It must be someone else!"

"Okay, I still suspect it's Prince Ning and Prince Anhua. You deliberately summoned us all and secretly asked people to raise the price!"

"You are planning too hard! I won't play with you anymore!"

King Yi's words directly changed the direction of the wind.

Suddenly, everyone looked at the two people suspiciously again, and followed King Yi to get up and leave one after another.

Naturally, when they walked back, no one forgot to take away the treasure they had just traded, which was all money in vain.

"King Anhua, you didn't do this, did you?"

King Ning couldn't help but doubt King Anhua.

"Shit! Is this king a fool? He would raise the price so much all at once! Prince Ning, you are a thief. Catch the thief!"

King Anhua was so angry that he quickly ran away from the scene. Suddenly, King Ning was the only one left in Prince Ning's mansion.

"Mr. Muzhai, this is you..."

"Your Majesty, how could I dare to do it without your orders!" Mu Zhai also smiled bitterly.

"What should we do now?"

"Your Majesty... Since there is someone who has been taken advantage of, I feel like we should take action first with the treasure in our hands!"

Mu Zhai gritted his teeth and said: "Obviously someone pushed it up on purpose! Then let's give him a ride and see how much money he has in his hands!"

"Okay! Let's throw it out first and see how much money we can make."

Prince Ning and Muzhai hurried out without saying a word.
