Thanks to the book friends: "Bai Xiaozhu's Pig" rewards!

...

"I have never been afraid to speculate on others with the greatest malice, especially businessmen. x is the fastest update"

Fang Xing returned to the household department, told Xia Yuanji the result, and ended with this passage.

The crowd outside was still crowded, and the money kept flowing out, in exchange for only old or new banknotes.

Xia Yuanji shook his head: "I estimated that these three companies can earn at least three million taels of silver, which is too little!"

Zhu Zhanji looked stern on the sidelines: "There are too few three companies, otherwise, in three years' time, Daming will have three more super wealthy merchants, and the bidding after three years will be unmatched. If this continues, these three companies will become giant!"

At this time, there were no behemoths in the Ming Dynasty, and even the few that had signs of it all had relatives standing behind them looming.

"How many have been sent out?"

Fang Xing asked. Zhu Zhanji said casually: "It's almost 50,000 taels."

"The highest is three thousand taels." Xia Yuanji added.

"That man is trying to die! Have you warned him?"

...

"My lord, let me exchange it for two thousand taels of silver."

The handling staff has changed a batch, and it will be impossible to do so, it is too tiring.

Hearing the words, the officials lowered their eyes and said: "Precious banknotes are easy to use, so use them well."

The man was wearing some tattered clothes, but the oil on his face didn't match the clothes. Hearing this, he looked at the Jin Yiwei standing behind the officials, suddenly trembled, and said with a smile: "I'm too drunk, I don't think about changing money, I'm leaving, I'm leaving!"

The official raised his head and smiled and said, "Exactly, if you drink too much, go home and take a nap. You will be refreshed tomorrow and the whole family will be reunited."

The man clasped his hands nervously and said, "I got it, thank you for reminding me, sir."

The official watched the man squeeze into the crowd a few times and disappeared, and then he shouted: "Next."

...

The news spread quickly among the crowd.

"A few taels or a dozen taels is fine. If there are too many, you are looking for death. Didn't you see the people in Jinyiwei?!"

Jin Yiwei who was present immediately became a target, and countless eyes with different meanings turned on them. As for the new organization of Dongchang, it is not yet known to the common people.

Sun Xiang was already sitting under the eaves, and the beads in his hands were turning faster.

"Be sure to find out the identities of those suspicious people before Jin Yiwei!"

"Yes, father-in-law."

The organizational framework of the East Factory comes from Jinyiwei. Everyone knows the basics and knows what the other side can do.

Therefore, when the two organizations acted together, the news came quickly.

"Thirty-two people with more than one hundred taels, and fifteen people with more than one thousand taels, including 19 merchants, and the rest are... literati who have cultivated and studied family heirlooms."

Xia Yuanji said in embarrassment.

The so-called farming and studying heirlooms, ten acres of land is farming and studying, and so is a hundred acres of land... In the future, there will be farming and studying families with ten thousand acres of fertile land and countless businesses! ! !

what to do?

"Businessmen are most afraid of yamen, so it's good to kill chickens to make an example to monkeys, but how should those literati deal with them?"

Fang Xing threw the problem to Xia Yuanji, after all, it's all under the name of a patriarch, you have to see what good things your fellow disciples have done!

Xia Yuanji said without hesitation: "Go and investigate. If there is a problem, it will be dealt with immediately. If there is no problem, this family will not think about the imperial examination in the future, let alone become an official. Just explain to the local officials. These people don't know how to contribute to the country." Literati should always care about it.”

Xia Yuanji is so ruthless!

Fang Xing and Zhu Zhanji looked at each other, then nodded, expressing their agreement with Xia Yuanji's opinion.

"His Royal Highness Zhao Wang is here, and Lord Yang and Lord Jian are also here."

Before the words fell, Zhu Gaosui's enthusiastic voice arrived.

"Master Xia, it's so lively!"

Seeing that the people queuing up still couldn't see the side, Yang Rong had already emptied the boxes of money piled up beside him, so he whispered to Jian Yi, "Master Jian, the momentum is not right!"

Jian Yitou: "Lord Xia underestimated the people's love for silver, this matter is troublesome!"

As someone spread the word,

There are many fewer people outside.

"They're all businessmen."

What the merchant fears most is being missed. Under such threats, if there are merchants who come to exchange money, then his money probably is not earned.

"The so-called heirs of farming and studying are at least famous. They have many fields and shops under their names. In fact, they are no different from businessmen, but they feel that they have the tiger skin of the saint's children and fame, and exchange some money. It's not a problem."

...

"Okay, that's the end of today, everyone go back, those who want to change will come tomorrow."

The one who shouted was replaced by a third one, which shows what the household department has experienced today.

The calculation ability of the Ministry of Accounting is not covered, and it has been counting since the beginning. At this time, someone came over with a few pieces of paper and said: "Your Highness, my lords, today I have exchanged a total of more than 73,600 taels of silver. .”

Zhu Gaosui shook his head and said: "This is only the first day, if it continues like this, a million taels will not be able to beat it."

This is true, there are too many rich people in Peking. But if Beiping had to use more than one million taels of silver, the plan to exchange treasure notes could be terminated in advance.

Yang Rong had a headache, "This matter is imminent, and it has to be done, and it is impossible to stop it! It will make people in the world think that the government orders are changed day by day, and this is a big taboo!"

Jian Yi nodded and agreed.

Xia Yuanji said wearily: "I will enter the palace right now, you can do whatever you want."

...

Fang Xing came home, teased with the two children, and ate dinner with Xie Jin in the study.

In the study, Fang Xing slowly went over what happened today.

There were wet marks on the hem of Xie Jin's clothes, probably because Yoyo had urinated, but he didn't care at all, and said in a deep voice: "This matter is a whirlpool, attracting all kinds of people to get involved. Your Majesty must have seen it when he saw it. Your Majesty will not make a move, but this old man disagrees."

"You underestimated the pride in His Majesty's heart!"

Xie Jin put down his chopsticks and said, "Your Majesty had a difficult journey back then, and after he ascended the throne, there were also thorns everywhere, but did he admit defeat?"

...

Zhu Di took a look at the statistics, and said with a blank face: "Businessmen will shrink back because of fear, but literati are unscrupulous. Who gave them the courage?"

Xia Yuanji smiled wryly: "They probably think that the government decree is like this, so they can naturally collect treasure notes to exchange."

Are you not allowed to exchange? Is it not possible?

"If they pretend to be stupid, I feel that there is nothing I can do. I just wait and slowly clean up those who take the lead in the future."

Everyone knows that the law does not blame the public.

At this time, the national power of the Ming Dynasty was strong, and what Zhu Di pursued was stability and development in stability.

Looking at the history books, whenever this time comes, it is the time when the emperor speaks best.

Moreover, changing the order from day to day affects the credibility of the court, so it is not easy to go back on it.

Xia Yuanji felt that he misjudged his opponent at the beginning, he thought that his opponent would be a nobleman or a businessman, but in the end he became a literati.

Don't you have a heart of loyalty and patriotism?

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the reform of treasure banknotes will bring immeasurable benefits to the future of Ming Dynasty. At this time, as vested interests, how can those literati come out to make trouble?

Could it be that the decline of Ming Dynasty is good for them?

These questions persisted in Xia Yuanji's mind, and Zhu Di was much more courageous than he imagined.

"Since it's all on the record, investigate! Order Jinyiwei and Dongchang to investigate immediately. If there are any problems found, they will be taken down. Those who should be killed will be killed. Those who should be exiled will be exiled. Don't put them in a prison in Peking for free food." !"

this……

Isn't this revenge coming too fast? And it's such a red fruit, it's almost undisguised!
