Jiaozi is about to collapse.
The handover is over.
The initiator of all this was the supreme ruler of the Chengdu court.
The shopkeeper was shocked when he heard the news.
He thought about many possibilities, but he never thought that Zhao Buxi would take the initiative to figure out a way to take the initiative to completely destroy Jiaozi.
Are you really crazy?
"But...but I heard that many high-ranking officials are also using Jiaozi to make money!"
"I don't know the specifics. We keep this matter secret internally and are never allowed to say more. Several people who talk too much have been killed. But maybe these senior officials also have their own ideas, and they may even be deceived. "
After venting his anger, the junior official realized what he had said was a rebellious thing, but at this moment he could no longer control himself.
He covered his head with a bitter look on his face.
"Now I hope that Su Yonglin will call me soon and let him die. What's more terrifying than a family going bankrupt and being separated from his wife? What the hell is this imperial court in Chengdu!"
He printed Jiaozi to deceive his own people, and he didn’t care about everyone’s life or death! If I had known this, I would have been better off fleeing to the north or east to join the Ming Dynasty, and just plow the fields and farm the land. It would be better than cheating the court and having my wife and children separated and my family destroyed!
I’ve finally seen through it all, what nonsense Song Dynasty orthodoxy is, it’s all a fucking lie! It's all a lie! All these high-ranking officials and dignitaries only think about making money, making money, and nothing else!
Compared with them, Su Yonglin is a saint! He is the real saint! He kept what he said, and he liquidated everything he said. Even if I gave up all my property and farmed the land in the Ming Dynasty to eat coarse grains, it would be better than being deceived by these bastards and losing my wife and family! "
The petty official's miserable howl kept stimulating the shopkeeper's heart.
The shopkeeper forced himself to calm down, took a deep breath for a while, and his brain was spinning rapidly.
In the end, the petty official's demands were met.
The shopkeeper allocated a sum of money to him and bought all his friends, which he regarded as payment for intelligence fees.
The junior official said that he would resign immediately after returning, and then immediately take his family back to his hometown in the countryside to avoid the limelight. If he did not leave, he would definitely be picked out and executed.
He also advised the shopkeeper to quickly pack up and run away, to a safe place, preferably in the mountains, and to hide carefully and not to stay in Chengdu, otherwise he would definitely die.
The shopkeeper ignored him and immediately turned to business.
He first suspended the business of his convenience store on the grounds of "the shopkeeper was ill" and "renovation" without disclosing the news to the outside world. Then he found some "friends" he was familiar with in the industry and sold the unsold items he had bought before. The child was placed before them.
"You guys should discuss together to help me convert these Jiaozi into coins. I'll tell you a piece of news that can save the lives of your whole family. This is the news I just learned from my friends in the Ministry of Household Affairs. The truth about Jiaozi can definitely save the lives of your family." Your lives.”
He said so.
Looking at the serious expression on his face, his "friends in the industry" did not reject his request. In the end, the seven people tacitly agreed to subscribe for this large amount of money, and then collectively waited for his truth.
In his study, he took a deep breath and told the truth about what he had learned.
About Zhao Buxi, about the Chengdu court, about the Ministry of Household Affairs, and about Jiang Fu.
Then, he said that he would take all his property and family members and flee back to his hometown to hide in the mountains until the situation stabilized before coming out.
"Sichuan and Shu are going to be in chaos, a huge chaos, an earth-shaking kind of chaos. Anyway, I have to hide, and you'd better hide as well. After the chaos is over, when the Ming Dynasty takes over Sichuan and Shu, maybe we We can get together to drink and dine together again.
Now I feel that the Chengdu court is the one who wants our lives, while the Ming Dynasty is very reasonable. I admit it. Su Yonglin is a saint. I decided to wait until the Ming Dynasty takes over Sichuan and Shu before coming out. I will give you whatever you want. I have counted on it. Have a peaceful life. "
After saying that, he extended his hand to see the guest off, then turned around and started emergency operations with his family.
Transport money and all kinds of soft goods, cut the business and close the convenience store, send people back to your hometown in advance to make arrangements, choose a suitable hermitage in the mountains and old forests, stock up on food and cloth, and buy a few good dogs to guard the home and so on, and prepare Seriously hiding in the mountains.
All news was blocked throughout the process, and I only told the relevant people that I would go home to start a business, open up a new business and a new stage of life. Although Chengdu is good, it is easy to get homesick.
He was keenly aware that this chaos was a chaos that would cost many lives. Many people would die. If he stayed in Chengdu Mansion, he might also die.
The only way is to escape and hide in the deep mountains and forests. This is the safest way.
The same thing happened to seven of his friends. After hearing the news, these seven friends were shocked. Then they followed the same method to find their own circle of friends, and took out their saved friends to let "friends in the industry" They help stop losses.
Then he told them the fatal news, and immediately made arrangements to escape in a hurry. They were all preparing to flee back to their hometown and hide in the mountains to avoid being killed in future chaos.
In this way, the news spread within a small circle, and as time went by, the spread became wider and wider.
At a special time point, this news spread outside the circle.
At this time, it was also the time when a large number of detachments and exchange shops stopped the exchange business of Jiaozi iron money.
Good guy, if you do this, public opinion will explode, and people will panic. Many people will be confused at first, and then rush into the cashier's store regardless of the situation to change money. Some people will simply smash and loot, trying to directly withdraw the money. Take it home.
But they found no money in these places.
Almost at the same time, a large number of detachment and exchange shops announced their closures and stopped exchanging iron money, which directly triggered market panic.
Jiaozi went from being valuable to worthless in just one morning, and it was still too hard to clean one's butt. Almost all shops that were still open immediately announced that they would only accept iron money, not jiaozi.
This is not only true for private shops, but also for government-run shops. For example, places selling salt only require iron money and no handover. No matter who it is, they will not accept any money as long as they take the handover.
Jiaozi can't buy anything.
This was only the first problem that occurred, and soon after, a large number of small and medium-sized warehouse and cashier shops also collapsed.
Because these small and medium-sized Jieku have an official relationship with the exchange shop, but their level is not high, and their own level is not high enough to reach the top core circle, so they spend money to make friends in order to make a lot of money. As a result, everyone suffered from poor information, including themselves and their depositors.
Some depositors are really unlucky. They did not intend to buy Jiaozi, but they lost all their money without knowing it.
Many people couldn't bear the psychological impact and rushed directly to these Jieku and Duibian shops to question the crime. However, these lower-level shopkeepers either ran away or hanged themselves.
They also have no money.
Where's the money?
Where is the money that was so enthusiastic before?
Where did the money go?
Some people fainted on the spot, some cried loudly, and some smashed the store as if to vent their anger, but it was meaningless. People who had lost all their money would not know where their money was.
They are desperate.
This wave of disasters not only destroyed the savings of urban residents, but also affected rural areas.
A group of small and medium-sized landowners and rich and middle peasants were affected. Even some large landowners purchased large quantities of Jiaozi because they wanted to make money. As a result, they lost all their money because the information was not developed enough.
The power of information gap is fully demonstrated at this moment.
After all, people with land still have something to fall back on. As long as they don't borrow money, everything is easy.
But the problem is that some people borrow money, borrow money to buy friends, or use their houses and land as mortgage to get money, then everything will be over when a thunderstorm occurs.
A group of middle peasants and rich peasants who used their land as mortgage in exchange for money to buy Jiaozi were dumbfounded and felt that their world was shattered and completely over.
The money is gone, the land is gone, everything is gone.
The despair in their hearts can be imagined.
