Many advertisements suddenly appeared on the streets of Chang'an City.
These advertisements looked exactly the same as the previous advertisements of Wudi Bank. After taking a closer look, I realized that they were not advertising common people's coins, but Tiandi Bank and Emperor's coins.
After the Invincible Bank, a second bank appeared in the Tang Dynasty that promoted paper currency, and the one that promoted was the Emperor's Coin.
Looking more closely, this emperor's coin was actually jointly issued by six families: Sikong Mansion, Chen Mansion, Li Mansion, Gao Mansion, Taiyuan Wang Family, and Xingyang Zheng Family.
The union of these six major families was like a giant that would stomp its feet and make the Tang Dynasty tremble.
On the streets and alleys.
Countless people are discussing.
"Bah, this emperor's coin looks rough in printing, not as good as the common people's coin at all!"
"Emperor coins are for the emperor. We are all ordinary people, so we should use common people coins!"
"Yes, you don't need emperor coins if you kill him!"
"Look, the portraits printed on this emperor's coin are all of His Majesty the current emperor. There is no prince, no king of Shu, and no consort."
"If you don't have a consort, who would use it?"
…
The emergence of emperor coins has not changed much for ordinary people.
The common people have a natural resistance to this imperial coin.
However, for the nobles, they all chose the Emperor's Coin, because the Emperor's Coin was jointly issued by the six major noble families, headed by the Sikong Mansion and the Changsun family.
On the first day that Tiandi Bank was opened, 600,000 imperial coins were exchanged.
In the next few days, the six major families worked hard and continued to use all means, even directly snatching people from Wudi Bank. The promotion of Emperor Coin was very rapid.
Wudi Qianzhuang disdains using dirty methods, but Tiandi Qianzhuang does not care, and will compare it with Wudi Qianzhuang no matter what.
"Invincible Bank cannot withdraw Kaiyuan Tongbao after dark and cannot exchange it for common currency, but our Tiandi Bank can."
"If you use common people's coins, you can only get discounts when trading with Dream Group, but emperor coins can be used for discounts in businesses under the six major families."
"The common people's coins only have ten coins, fifty coins, one hundred coins, five hundred coins, consistent. The emperor's coins have one coin, ten coins, twenty coins, fifty coins, one hundred coins, two hundred coins, five hundred coins, consistent."
, Liangguan... and other hundreds of denominations, easy to use."
"Invincible Bank has run out of money..."
Even Tiandi Bank sent a group of people to spread the news that Wudi Bank had been defeated by Tiandi Bank, and asked people to quickly exchange Kaiyuan Tongbao and use Emperor Coins.
After going back and forth, Wudi Qianzhuang was pressed so hard that it was almost breathless.
…
Lai Kingdom Government House.
Du He sat on the chair calmly and calmly.
Fang Yiai was sitting next to her, but she was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot.
Fang Yiai said anxiously: "Teacher, we can no longer sit still and wait for death. Tiandi Bank is obviously coming for our Wudi Bank. They have used all kinds of dirty tricks to snatch banknotes from us.
People... they even summoned some beggars to surround Wudi Bank all day long... In the past few days, many people have come to Wudi Bank to withdraw Kaiyuan Tongbao, totaling 300,000 coins. If things continue like this, Wudi is afraid that Wudi will
The bank will be replaced!"
Du He took a sip of tea, smiled, and said: "Heaven and Earth Bank, isn't this a dead man's bank? The six major families are such a big deal. It doesn't matter. Let him run around for a few days. Also, if you give up using it,
Those who have common currency, pay them the Kaiyuan Tongbao readily."
"teacher……"
Du He raised his hand to stop him and said, "It's okay. I heard that Tiandi Bank has opened thirty-six branches in Jingzhao Mansion, and each branch has hundreds of thousands of dollars to sit in, just for everyone's convenience, right?"
Fang Yiai nodded: "Yes, Tiandi Bank also uses this point to attack our Wudi Bank, saying that our Wudi Bank puts all the money in Chang'an and it is inconvenient to withdraw Kaiyuan Tongbao in other places, but they want to spread all the money
Kailai, and Tiandi Bank has already started preparing to open branches in the seventy-two states of the Tang Dynasty."
Du He said with a smile: "It's coming fiercely. It doesn't matter. Yi Ai, now is not the time for me to take action. If I don't take action, then if I take action, the six major families will never be able to stand up. From now on, Dream Group
There will be no stumbling blocks... Please tell me, let the Wudi Bank branches in various places manage the personnel well, and ignore the provocations of Tiandi Bank."
"Yes..." Fang Yiai hesitated for a moment, but finally agreed.
He racked his brains and didn't know what else to do to fight back.
However, he believed that Du He must have a way.
…
The next few months.
Tiandi Bank quickly spread due to the influence of the six major families.
Wudi Bank was only opened in more than 30 state capitals, but Tiandi Bank was quickly opened in more than 70 state capitals.
Fang Yiai led people to make statistics. Not to mention other places, in Chang'an City alone, the common people's coins and the emperor's coins have been split in half.
Moreover, the people's currency is gradually weakening. There is no other reason. The business of the six major families is too big and they control many industries. If the six major families join forces with other people, all those who belong to these industries can only use the emperor's currency.
People's coins are not allowed to be used, so many people have to use emperor coins from Tiandi Bank.
Fang Yiai went to see Du He every now and then, but Du He kept telling him that the time had not come yet.

…
This day.
Li Er was working on the memorial in the imperial study. Suddenly, Ximen Qing walked in and handed over a memorial: "Your Majesty, this is the memorial sent by the consort Du He. Please read it."
Ordinary memorials must first be processed by the two prime ministers.
Du He sent the memorial directly to the imperial study, and Li Er couldn't help being stunned.
When he opened the memorial and took a look, his face suddenly darkened.
After a long while, Li Er raised his head and looked at Zhao Yang: "How are Tiandi Bank and Emperor Coin doing lately?"
Zhao Yang stepped forward and said respectfully: "Reporting to your majesty, the Tiandi Bank established by the six major families is gaining momentum. It has opened more than 300 branches, while the Invincible Bank now only has more than 100 branches, and there are still emperor coins.
, has been gradually recognized by the nobles all over the world, and there is a faint tendency to exceed the common currency."
Li Er threw the memorial into Zhao Yang's hands, "Take a look and see if it's Du He who is alarmist."
Zhao Yang looked at it carefully and said with sincerity: "Your Majesty, this slave will only serve others in his life. As for this coin thing, he really knows nothing about it."
"Huh, trash!"
Li Er said dissatisfiedly, and then added: "Send someone to tell Du He to attend tomorrow's morning court."
…
The next day.
Morning.
After all the matters that need to be dealt with were dealt with, and the court was about to disperse, Li Er suddenly said: "Dear sirs, I received a memorial yesterday. It was written by Du He, the guest secretary of the Ministry of Rites.
It's the emperor's coin that has caused a lot of commotion in Chang'an City recently. According to Du He, this emperor's coin has six major drawbacks, and they will appear one by one in the near future. By then, I'm afraid it will cause chaos. What do you think?
