In fact, the economic size of Sichuan and Sichuan is also the dead end of this game of beating drums and passing flowers.
It would be okay if this was in peacetime. Sichuan and Sichuan could still carry it for a while, and there might even be poor people among the people who have not been squeezed dry who are willing to take over.
However, after experiencing the economic blockade, the rice riots, and the Sichuan-Shu Uprising, the economic potential of the Sichuan-Shu region has been seriously damaged.
The people have become poor, and the poor have been squeezed dry, or physically eliminated, and no longer exist. Therefore, this game has only lasted for more than three months and is about to come to an end.
The concentration of iron money on the market has almost been completed, and the amount of iron money still circulating in the market has been greatly reduced.
Some people who were hoarding jiaozi suddenly found that they couldn't seem to find so many people who were willing and able to take over.
I just spent a lot of money in exchange for this batch of real friends. I am waiting to make a fortune. I want to find someone to sell it, but I find that no one is willing to take it over. Even if there are people who are willing to take over, it is very small. The large-scale takeover shows no signs of "making a fortune immediately" as their previous batch of handlers said.
The latest leeks are a little panicked.
What was even more panicked was not this group of leeks, but a group of people related to the army.
Because they are well aware of the fact that the value of Jiaozi is unreliable and may be turned into useless paper at any time, the soldiers who received the Jiaozi rewarded by the imperial court are very aware of the crisis. and some of the loot to send home.
On the one hand, he was worried that his trophies would be taken away by the superiors, but on the other hand, he really wanted his family to be safe. Even if he had to sell Jiaozi and exchange it for coins, it would be considered safe.
They specifically told their families that if the official bank of the imperial court was too far away to catch the flowers, they should go to the nearest Jieku and Duibian shops in the surrounding counties as soon as possible to exchange the Jiaozi in their hands for iron money, and then store the iron money. Don't spend indiscriminately.
It is true that soldiers cannot spend money while on the march, but no one stipulates that they cannot entrust money to be sent home. After long-term experience of being cheated, soldiers can be regarded as good doctors after a long period of illness, and they know how to avoid it to the greatest extent. Risks ensure your own interests.
The family members of the soldiers had long heard about the deceitful deeds of the army, and of course they knew very well what Jiaozi was. It was better if there were no rumors. Once there were any rumors, the value of Jiaozi would immediately drop, and he was more accurate than his mother's watchman in telling time.
So they were not hesitant and immediately went to the Jieku and Duibian shops in the county town, trying to exchange the Jiaozi in their hands for iron money and take it home to save.
But when they took the jiaozi and entered the store to try to change money, the game of drumming and passing flowers had reached its final stage.
Starting from the first batch of upstream warehouses and convenience stores, everyone who made profits from them felt a little unsure.
No matter how greedy people are, there will be times when they are afraid. When they find that too many people have passed away in their hands, they also realize that this matter has no way to end.
There are too many Jiaozi flowing into the market, the number is a bit ridiculous, and no one knows when this thing will explode.
They were conscious accomplices before, but now, even they are afraid of the large number of Jiaozi who are constantly being put into the market. They feel that it is a stupid thing to continue to accept the coins given by Jiaozi. If they continue this game, there is no telling when This thing has to be smashed into your hands.
After all, the value of Jiaozi is now close to 90% of its face value, and has even exceeded 90%. There is no point in continuing to speculate in Jiaozi, and the profit margins have been squeezed out.
Continuing to collect coins from the handover at this time is purely stupid behavior.
People who have money will never bleed themselves.
These rich guys often have certain connections in the officialdom, so not long after this inexplicable social craze started, they were looking for people everywhere to try to find out the inside story of this matter, hoping to get some inside information.
But surprisingly, even their official connections didn’t know what was going on.
Therefore, many smart people feel that this matter is very deep and unfathomable. It even concerns the top group of powerful people, and it is something they deliberately brought about.
However, the information they found out showed that the top powerful people, including Shangshu Zuocheng Ma Yongkang, secretly arranged for his family members to secretly buy Jiaozi and then sell them to earn high profits. It is said that Ma Yongkang’s family purchased Jiaozi. The number of children is still very large.
Not only Ma Yongkang, but also people from the families of senior officials such as Jiang Fu, the Minister of Household Affairs, helped them operate Jiaozi, and they also acquired many Jiaozi to prepare to make money.
Represented by them, a considerable number of middle- and high-level officials secretly arranged for family members to eat into Jiaozi, and then resold them. It is said that they made a lot of money.
Now most of them are holding hands and waiting for the price to sell.
When these news reached their ears, they felt at ease for a time, so they relaxed and continued to eat, spit out iron money, and repeat the same thing again and again.
However, as time goes by, the market direction has undergone some irreversible changes, and some senior financial practitioners who are keenly aware of these changes have begun to feel a little unsure.
So starting from the beginning of May in the seventh year of Hongwu, when the last leeks who had a large amount of jiaozi but could not find a suitable successor tried to find the solution library and exchange it for iron money, they showed their fangs. .
Some of the shopkeepers of Jieku and Duibian shops who had a strong sense of crisis began to strictly restrict Jiaozi's business of exchanging iron money in the face of the leeks that came one after another to exchange for iron money.
The first ones to make restrictive rules were the local Jieku and Duibian shops in Chengdu Prefecture. They were basically the first wave of handlers in this game. They were the biggest profiteers besides the Chengdu court, and they were also the most well-informed. A group of people.
They didn't dare to cut off all this business from the beginning. Instead, they prescribed drugs based on people's needs and limited the number.
For example, if dozens of people exchange money in a day, each person has a maximum exchange amount. If you exceed this amount, you will have to wait in line tomorrow.
After all, in this unclear situation, they are not sure that this money will really not be earned anymore. They have made restrictions to avoid risks, and at the same time wait and see the situation to see what happens. Can the heat continue?
If it can continue, they won't mind another last wave of leeks, and they will be bastards if they have money.
However, they did not realize that it was their behavior that sounded the clarion call for Jiaozi to collapse completely.
