Today, the people of the capital know what it means to be powerful, especially the Eight Banners Group, which has enjoyed two hundred years of blessings. Their tentacles have penetrated into the five elements and eight industries of the capital. Which of these industries does not have their hidden influence?
In the past two hundred years, they were indispensable for enjoying things, but they were not involved in taking risks. Whether it was famine, disaster or war destruction, all the pain was borne by the Han people!
From ancient times to the present, their bannermen have been robbing the people of the world for their money and food. Today, this knife is a cut on their own head!
Emperor Tongzhi's gold and silver exchange order was said to be for the entire Qing Dynasty, but except for the capital and Tianjin that can be implemented now, who in other places will listen to him?
The actual control area of an empire has shrunk to only half of Zhili!
Some people say that Rehe, the three eastern provinces, and Outer Mongolia are not all the territory of the imperial court? But don't forget that all the direct troops loyal to the little emperor are gathered in the capital at this moment.
Execution! If a region does not have the ability to implement policies, how can it exchange money?
Even in Tianjin, due to the strict control of Chinese forces, no one dares to go to Chinese industries to force exchange!
All the pressure is concentrated on the capital. Zai Chun wants to wipe out all the gold and precious metals accumulated in the capital during the Ming and Qing dynasties!
Starting from Dashilar, the storm of forced gold and silver exchange exploded like a nuclear weapon!
All the merchants were watching the grain merchants’ jokes yesterday, but today it’s their turn!
The pawn shop was smashed open, and each one was forced to exchange gold. They climbed over the wall and smashed the vat to interrogate the clerk, and took out all the golden beans in the rat hole.
Then there are gold and silver jewelry shops. There are many of these industries in Suzhou. Many of them are shopkeepers and masters from Suzhou and Hangzhou who come to the capital to find someone to hug them.
Anyway, there are many wealthy people in the capital, and the business of making gold and silver utensils has always been booming!
This was also the hardest-hit area. The gold and silver shop was in a state of chaos. The proprietress sat on the floor and cried out in mourning. The daughter-in-law from the south of the Yangtze River who used to look like a gentle woman was crying like this before.
"Please, Master... This is the half-finished Kowloon Gold Cup, ordered by Prince Zheng... If you take it, we will be dead..."
"Master Jun, without gold, our business will be impossible..."
"Fuck you... Prince Zheng is nothing. We won't even spare Prince Zheng's mansion in a while, and we have to take away all the gold stickers on the window lattice!"
"The national crisis is approaching. You don't want to share the worries of the imperial court, but you still want your own gold? Don't you care about the two hundred years of kindness from the Qing Dynasty?"
"Fuck...if there is no emperor, then there is no sky! Without the sky, if grains cannot grow and everything cannot grow, then...it will be the end of the world!"
The boss and his wife don’t know why the world will end without the emperor, and they don’t know what the emperor has to do with whether the grain grows or not.
But if the gold for business is gone, then life is lost!
"Master Jun... will you save our lives?" The desperate shopkeeper knelt in front of Liu Peiqi, "We are a gold and silver shop... we make gold jewelry for the nobles to earn some craft money..."
"None of this gold belongs to us, it was left for processing in our shop by noble people... You all took it away, what should we give back to the guests?"
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
"This is the gold we use to order jewelry from our customers... We have to pay it back, please have mercy on me!"
Liu Peiqi held the half-forged Kowloon Gold Cup in her hand and sneered, "I pity you? Who pities the court's difficulties? If I let go, you might say how much gold is your guest's?"
"So what if you return this gold? You still have to ask the court to exchange it for you later, so let's just not go through the trouble twice!"
Liu Peiqi exerted force in her hands and flattened the half-finished gold cup with one stroke, even the golden faucet was squeezed in!
"Ah...kill good people, you are killing good people..." The goldsmith from Suzhou was completely desperate. He screamed and rushed forward, with a snap like a huge watermelon breaking.
The goldsmith hit his head against the wall and died!
Liu Peiqi shook her head regretfully, "What a pity... In fact, the craftsmanship is pretty good, why are you so angry! If you continue to copy the next one, please be polite and talk to me!"
The pawnshop and the gold and silver shop suffered a disaster, and other shops were not in good condition. Even Fu Liansheng, who was famous for making cloth shoes, was surrounded by soldiers. Li Tuo said a few good words first, and then left the matter to the soldiers. .
Can a shoe maker have gold? But these soldiers didn't believe it, so they just kept doing the same thing, and the clerk and the shopkeeper came separately to interrogate him!
This interrogation didn't matter, more than three hundred taels of gold were actually found. Even Li Tuo and Liu Peiqi were stunned. They looked at the gold they found for a long time.
"The cloth shoe maker actually has more than three hundred taels of gold?" the two asked in unison.
The soldier replied, "Sir, sir! These guys were recruited because they couldn't stand the fight... I just found out today that these business people have always had the tradition of hoarding gold for hedging!"
"It's just that the business is bad after a year. Once the business is good, they will secretly hide some gold at the bottom of the box. Fuliansheng is such a big industry, and the prince loves his products. It's not unusual to have a little gold..."
"Okay...just keep copying! Don't miss out every family...even the gold jewelry of their female relatives must be collected. It's not like the imperial court wants it in vain, why not be loyal!"
While they were talking, a woman with white hair and beard rushed out from the alley. I don't know if she was the old lady of that treasure house. Her body was also made of silk and satin, but all her gold, head and face were taken away.
"Bullying the weak and fearing the strong...you know how to bully our small family...The Chinese business is in the most conspicuous place at the front door...you go and rob it!"
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu Go and rob...you're like bandits...I won't live anymore!"
It was such a competition that Liu Peiqi's face turned a little red after saying just one sentence. She stood on Qianmen Street and looked to the north. There were semicolons for a series of big Chinese industries!
Hua Bank, Sihai Trading, Mi Group, and Guangde Bank, which was upgraded by old shopkeeper Fan Lian in his hometown of Guangde. This is the Fan family's industry and is a heavyweight bank in East Asia. .
There are all these semicolons, but most of them have little to do with ordinary people, because these firms are doing big business, doing big business with big merchants, the court, and foreigners.
The people who have been driven crazy have directly targeted the Chinese industry. Aren't you forcing the exchange? Do you honor the Chinese semicolon in the Qing Dynasty? Are you strong?
This was really a mess, even Li Tuo was a little troubled. Seeing so many hateful looks on the street, he stomped towards the gate of Guangde Bank.
