Outside the gate of Buhang, 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 could be heard 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 arrives, the voice of the people has already arrived!
Following his voice, several people traveling with him also shouted loudly:
"Yangzhou Salt Store! We also accept redemptions!"
"Yangzhou Shipping Company! We also accept redemption!"
"Yangzhou..."
After shouting several times, the bustling entrance to the cloth shop was finally quieted down. 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 move forward.
"That's the boss of our salt shop!"
"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 these horse riders 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 was said by an unknown person, no one would pay attention.
But coming from the mouths of these people who are considered to be prominent people 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 had been crowded at the entrance of the cloth store were gone, and the crowded street suddenly became much freer.
"Hahahaha... Shopkeeper Xue, do you still want to cash in?"
Everything in front of me happened so fast!
Several other shopkeepers jumped out to take orders, and it only took a cup of tea before everyone dispersed! 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 is under his control.
In front of him, Manager Xue frowned deeply, and behind him, Xiaodong 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 Buhang 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 and prepare money for shopkeeper Xue! Well, shopkeeper Xue, For these 50,000 coins, do you want all copper coins, or do you want a mixture of gold and copper coins?"
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 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: "shopkeeper Xue
, please count the copper coins with me!"
"Huh!" He snorted coldly, but Manager Xue's face had turned an ashen color.
The people in this cloth shop speak politely, but in fact, they are full of bad blood from head to toe!
Fifty thousand copper coins! If converted into copper coins, that would be 50 million copper coins. Let the two masters and servants count them. They may not finish counting them until next year's New Year!
Seeing Lao Xue and Xiao Dong walking away angrily, the shopkeeper of Buhang glanced upstairs inadvertently, his eyes full of smiles.
Everyone knows that this run has almost come to an end 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 guan of money that I raised, I can basically get everything else right.
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 that these commercial banks were not issuing banknotes based on cash, but printing and issuing banknotes at will! If that happened, once he detonated it this time, the trust of banknotes would immediately be thrown into the cold storage
, no one dares 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 because we have artificially created a crisis of trust, making them unable to trust the commercial banks that issued banknotes! They all want to keep their money close to them to be safe.
So this time, if they can all redeem their money in full! Then the form of banknotes will naturally create a seed in their hearts. When things happen in the future, we can issue it again in the name of the court.
Banknote! 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 he felt like the skin on his fingers had been rubbed off.
"Master Hou, 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!"
