Chapter 553: Chaos in Chang'an (Part 2)

Chapter 553 Chang’an Rebellion (Part 2)

When Li Lizhi saw the waiter leaving, she asked: "Shuyi, Brother Li Feng took out all the money to stabilize the stock market. If the stock market continues to fall, won't he lose everything?"

Yan Shuyi smiled and said: "If you want the stock market to continue to fall, then only the emperor, that is, something really happened to your father, and the whole Chang'an was in chaos. Do you want to see such a result?"

"Of course I don't want to see it. I will never let such a thing happen." Li Lizhi said.

"So, don't look at the stocks we are buying now, it's like throwing money into the water, never to come back.

But have you ever thought that once the news of Your Majesty's recovery comes out, the stock market will rise sharply again. At that time, Brother Li Feng's industry will double, and our two industries will also double. By then, we will be able to

Entering the wealth list." Yan Shuyi said excitedly.

Li Lizhi also stood up excitedly and said, "Great, let's go buy those stocks now."

"good."

In the trading center, Li Lizhi and Yan Shuyi took action. They first started with the stock with the lowest price. As long as the other party had stocks and was willing to sell them, they would take them.

After the two of them took action, many people also took action, and they began to acquire stocks with low prices.

For a time, the stock prices in the trading center began to stabilize. Although the stock market was still a little decadent, there were already buying orders.

Chang'an City.

At this time, everyone was talking about the hot air balloon and the explosion in the palace.

However, a piece of breaking news left everyone at a loss: the emperor was dead.

The original news was that the emperor was injured and might never wake up. Unexpectedly, the news became more and more outrageous. It was directly spread that the emperor was dead and had been killed by the man in the iron mask.

What's even more outrageous is that the imperial court plans to close down or destroy everything related to Lan Tianhou.

After getting this rumor, the government immediately came out to clarify it to prevent the people from rioting.

"Something bad has happened." An official rushed to the Jingzhao Mansion Yamen.

Currently, the Jingzhao Mansion Yamen has become a temporary office space for Du Ruhui and others.

Du Ruhui stood up and asked, "What happened?"

"There has been a run on the bank, and the order is currently chaotic. The bank has closed its doors and windows to prevent anyone from withdrawing money," the official said.

Du Ruhui looked at Wei Zheng and others and said: "My lords, Your Majesty has assigned tasks to everyone. I wonder who is responsible for the bank tasks?"

"I am." Cui Minqian said.

"And me." Wei Zheng and Tang Jian said at the same time.

Du Ruhui said: "Then I will trouble you three adults. The bank cannot fail. Once the bank fails, Datang's economy will completely collapse."

Cui Minqian said: "You don't need to remind Prime Minister Du, I know what to do."

Wei Zheng said: "Mr. Cui, let's go back quickly."

Tang Jian said: "Yes, when people run today, they definitely don't want paper and pens, but copper coins. But banks definitely don't have that many copper coins. Although there is enough gold, people believe in copper coins more.

Before we get to the bank, the three of us had better think about where we can get this copper coin."

Cui Mingan asked: "Where are the copper coins? Where did the copper coins go?"

"I heard that it was melted, and Li Feng requested that they all be sent to be melted and recast. Today's copper coins are of different weights and ages, so we decided to recast the copper coins." Tang Jian said.

Du Ruhui said: "No matter what, I would like to ask the three adults to go to the bank now so as not to make the people more excited, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous."

"yes."

Wei Zheng and the other three rushed to the bank without stopping.

At this moment, a soldier guarding the city came to Jingzhao Mansion.

"Reporting to your lord, tens of thousands of soldiers and horses suddenly appeared outside the city. They seem to be under the command of the King of Han."

"What does it look like? Didn't you see the flag clearly?" Niu Jinda asked.

The soldier replied: "General Niu, although the flag is that of the King of Han, their armor is not. It is more like the soldiers and horses of the King of Yan."

"King Yan, isn't he your Majesty's fifth son, Li You?" Niu Jinda said, "His fiefdom is not in Youzhou. How did he send soldiers and horses from Youzhou?"

Yuchi said respectfully: "Someone must be hiding something or not. No matter who the soldiers and horses outside the city belong to, it doesn't matter. Your Majesty ordered me to guard the outside of the city. I will go to the city wall to take a look now."

"General Yuchi, don't be busy now. Go to the palace and take Li Yuanchang with you. You will know immediately whether his people are there. In addition, it is best to send someone to the academy to take care of all the princes and princesses."

"It's up to me to do this." Niu Jinda said, "Your Majesty asked me to lead a thousand forbidden troops to the academy to protect it."

"Just a thousand forbidden troops? Is that enough?" Yu Chigong asked.

"Your Majesty said that he has other arrangements, one thousand is enough." Niu Jinda said.

"Without further delay, two generals, please act quickly." Du Ruhui said.

"Yes." Yu Chigong and Niu Jinda also left Jingzhao Mansion.

It didn't take long for people to come one after another to report that in Chang'an City, either the people here were rioting, or the people there were starting to grab food, or the people were gathering to make trouble.

Without Du Ruhui's orders, Hou Junji, Zhang Gongjin and other generals led their own soldiers and began to go to the streets to maintain law and order.

As long as there are lawless people who dare to cause trouble at this time, they will not show mercy. In troubled times, heavy laws are used, and they still know it.

The public security chaos caused by the common people was quickly restored to calm under the shock of Hou Junji and others.

However, the once lively streets now seem particularly deserted. People are afraid of being implicated. They dare not go out because they are afraid of harming Chiyu.

However, there were two places that were overcrowded, one was a grain store and the other was a bank.

The people who were robbing the grain stores have all been brought under control. They have two choices, one is to go to jail or the other is to pay compensation.

Everyone chose to compensate, but instead of paying according to the price, they paid ten times the price, which made the people who grabbed food regret it.

Immediately afterwards, the grain shop began to sell grain, and people lined up to buy grain. Everything was so orderly.

As for the price of food, no one dares to increase it. It is different now.

In the past, when grain merchants held grain, they were the bosses, and no one dared to give them face.

But things are different now. As long as you dare to increase the price, then the next day, let alone your own stock will fall due to this, it is more likely to be acquired by others, and the grain store will have nothing to do with you from now on.

However, for grain people, they now look down on the money they make from selling grain. Their main way to make money is to invest in stocks.

At the bank, the situation was a little different. People were holding their banknotes and shouting outside to pay back money.
