Outside the cloth gate, the crowd was already excited.
Seeing that the angry crowd was about to break through the obstruction of the government officials and rush forward to rob, at this critical moment, several more crisp sounds of horse hooves sounded on the street.
"Folks! Don't crowd in here! You can also exchange money at Yangzhou Yahang! You can go there to exchange money!"
Before the horse arrived, the voice of the people came first!
Following his voice, several people traveling with him also shouted loudly:
"Yangzhou Salt Store! We also accept redemptions!"
"Yangzhou Shipping Line! We also accept redemption!"
"Yangzhou..."
After several shouts, the bustling entrance to the cloth shop finally became quiet. Countless people turned their heads and looked at the people on horseback with red eyes. The look in their eyes was so frightening that the horses stopped and paved. The hoof refused to come forward.
"That's the boss of our salt store!"
"The one on the black horse is the big shopkeeper of Yaxing! I was lucky enough to meet him before..."
Finally, someone with good eyesight in the crowd recognized the men on horseback first and shouted out.
Celebrity effect, no matter what era, has its own uniqueness.
Under the current circumstances, everyone is asked to leave here and exchange money elsewhere! If this were said by an unknown person, no one would pay attention.
But coming from the mouths of these prominent figures in Yangzhou, it adds seven points of credibility.
"Let's go! Go to another place to exchange it! As long as you give money, won't it be the same wherever you give it?"
After a pause, someone in the crowd finally lost his temper. He looked at the crowds of people in front of him, stamped his feet, grabbed the banknotes and ran to several other stores.
And with him taking the lead, many of those crowding behind followed him and ran out.
Soon, half of the people who were crowded at the entrance of the cloth shop were gone, and the crowded street suddenly became much freer.
"Hahahaha... Shopkeeper Xue, do you still want to cash in?"
Everything happened so fast!
Several other shopkeepers jumped out to take orders, and it only took a cup of tea before everyone left! At this time, the big shopkeeper of Buhang finally put away his angry look and put on a proud expression again, as if everything in front of him was under his control.
In front of him, Manager Xue frowned deeply, and Xiaodong behind him looked even more furious!
A pair of clenched fists trembled slightly, as if in the next moment, they would cross the space and fall directly on the face of the shopkeeper!
As if he felt something, Manager Xue raised his hand to block the angry Xiaodong, then sighed deeply, as if out of anger, and slammed the wooden box on the table, making a loud "bang" sound.
"Change it! Why don't you change it!" Manager Xue said through gritted teeth.
When the shopkeeper of the cloth shop saw this, he smiled even more happily! Twisting his gray beard, he slowly told the people next to him: "Okay, just listen to Shopkeeper Xue! Come here, prepare some money for Shopkeeper Xue! Well, Shopkeeper Xue, do you want all of these 50,000 coins in copper coins, or... Want a mixture of gold and copper?”
Manager Xue stood up straight, flicked his sleeves heavily and said, "Copper coins! Not even a penny less!"
The big shopkeeper of the cloth shop straightened up, still smiling: "That's right, that's right! Our Yangzhou cloth shop has always done business with integrity! Accountant, go notify the bank and send some more copper coins to shopkeeper Xue Take stock and understand clearly!”
"Here!"
As soon as the big shopkeeper of Buhang finished speaking, the skinny accountant immediately jumped up, bent down towards Manager Xue and made a gesture of invitation, with a professional smile on his skinny face: "Businesskeeper Xue , please count the copper coins with me!"
"Hmph!" He snorted coldly, but Manager Xue's face turned livid.
The people in this cloth shop all talk politely, but in fact, they are full of bad blood from head to toe!
Fifty thousand dollars! If converted into copper coins, that would be 50 million copper coins. Let the two of them, the master and the servant, count them. They may not finish counting them until next year's New Year!
Seeing Lao Xue and Xiaodong leaving angrily, the shopkeeper of Buhang glanced upstairs inadvertently, his eyes full of smiles.
Everyone knows that this run is almost over at this point.
After the most dangerous concentrated run, those people were finally successfully transferred to several commercial banks.
In this way, even if they don't have that much cash to recover all the banknotes on the market, they can slow down the redemption speed and wait for the money from Shuzhong, Hangzhou and other places to be sent, and then repay the money they owe. The holes were filled up one by one.
In fact, things were exactly as they imagined.
In the following period, although the major shops in Yangzhou City were still crowded with people exchanging money, order had been established and there was no longer the chaotic situation at the beginning.
Xiao Han also sent people to visit various stores in the past two days.
After calculation, he could vaguely conclude that the gap in Yangzhou's cash supply was actually not that big.
Except for the 50,000 to 60,000 yuan that I mobilized, everything else is basically correct.
This discovery made Xiao Han feel disappointed and relieved at the same time.
What is disappointing is that the run he planned has completely failed. Facing people who can all get their own money, he can no longer make any other moves.
What is gratifying is that what happened this time has a much smaller impact on a new thing like banknotes than I initially expected!
He used to be most afraid of the fact that these commercial banks were not issuing banknotes based on cash, but printing and issuing banknotes at will! If so, once he detonates it this time, the trust of the bank note will immediately be thrown into the cold cellar, and no one will dare to use this kind of thing to embezzle their property!
"In the past few days, people are rushing to exchange all their copper coins back. This is because we have artificially created a crisis of trust, so that they cannot trust the commercial banks that issue banknotes! They all want to keep their money close to them to be safe.
So this time, if they can all exchange all their money back! The form of banknotes will naturally give birth to a seed in their hearts. In the future, we can use the name of the court to issue banknotes again! I believe that with Datang’s endorsement, they should believe even more. "
Sitting in the pavilion at home, Xiao Han explained his thoughts to Manager Xue and Ziyi in detail.
Manager Xue's hands were shaking subconsciously.
Today was his first day back home. In the past few days, he had been counting money at the cloth shop almost every day, and it felt like a layer of skin on his fingers had been worn away.
"Master Marquis, after all this calculation, we don't seem to have taken advantage..." Manager Xue sighed as he held his trembling fingers.
When Xiao Han heard this, he chuckled: "Who said you didn't take advantage? Taking this opportunity, I took the silver notes out of their hands. This is already the biggest profit!"
Having said this, Xiao Han paused for a moment, then his eyes flickered and said: "Besides, this matter is not over yet!"
