Daming: I, the emperor who trains the carpenter

Chapter 789 Silver price avalanche!Zhu Youjian (crying): Money, my money!

Silver fell again!
But this time it is no longer under the control of those speculators.

They watched the silver fall all the way from 350 treasure notes, three hundred, two hundred and eight, two hundred and four, two hundred, one hundred and seventeen, one hundred and fifty!

In just a few days, the number of treasures fell has exceeded their imagination.

This is not a good thing, it means that the market is no longer under their control, which means that the countermeasures of the Ming court have already started.

Too much silver, really too much.

No one knows how much money the imperial court still has, and the money that has been released these days alone is already overwhelming.

Some speculators only feel like clowns after discovering the truth of the matter. It seems that everything is under the control of others, and their resistance with all their strength seems to be a joke. These people almost break their hearts and go crazy!
"Fake! Fake! It's all fake!"

"Hahahahaha!"

"8000 million! Another 8000 million! Why does the imperial court have so much money?"

"Who says it's not? It's only been a few days, and it's already bankrupt."

In the Jiangsu-Zhejiang area of ​​the Ming Dynasty, Cai Defu, who was once a proud speculator in the abyss and could not extricate himself, felt that his life was instantly torn apart.Watching the money in his home turned into scrap iron, his original pride, self-satisfaction, and self-confidence that everything is under control were all shattered by the money released by the imperial court.

Others looked crazy, but ended up running away early with their family members and treasures, leaving empty houses and money that was already worthless.

"What?!" Wang was stunned.

"Hahahaha, they are all liars! They are all liars! Liars!"

"Let's let him jump for two days, anyway, he won't have a few days to live." Zhang Haogu said.

Zhu Youxiao glanced at Zhang Haogu: "Then what about these people sent by Huang Taiji?"

"This formation is really not like ordinary guards, Mr. Wang."

These people were dead, but the debt they owed made the creditors go crazy.

Cai Defu was talking nonsense, he stumbled and fell into the mud, and the surrounding people dispersed one after another, avoiding being injured by the bewitched Cai Defu.

And the servants he hired couldn't care less about Cai Defu at this moment, because after knowing that the money had plummeted to nothing, before they had time to run away, the dozen or so families had already come to their door.

"Hey, I haven't heard of it yet. This Master Cai doesn't know why he can't think about it. He insists on going against the court. How much money is he? He still wants to collect money from the court. Now that the price of silver has fallen into a bottomless pit, he will pay for it." The bankruptcy of the family is not enough to pay back!"

"Overestimate one's abilities, overestimate one's abilities."

The creditors who wanted to cry without tears looked at the full amount of money, and they couldn't maintain their demeanor. This time they really lost money!

"Where is the master?" Wang looked at the maid beside him and couldn't help asking.

At this time, Cai Defu had already staggered to the street, and people looked at this big businessman Cai who was once proud of his life in horror. Now he no longer has the suave heroic posture of Zhizhu holding his hand, only a disheveled hair. Crazed and confused maniac.

"Mr. Frank, Daming naturally welcomes businessmen who come to do business sincerely. I think you felt the kindness and sincerity of Daming when you first came to Daming. Daming has always been hospitable to good friends." A Daming The official appeared in front of Frank.

Just relying on the loan owed by their master Cai Defu, not to mention this yard, even if there are ten more yards, a hundred yards can't afford it!
These servants could only watch helplessly as these creditors rushed in to ask for money, and their master's family was already insane, only the mistress Wang was left to support them, how many more days could they last?
After finally dealing with the creditors, Cai Defu's first wife, Wang, sighed exhausted physically and mentally: "If you want to control the economy of the Ming Dynasty, is the economy of the Ming Dynasty as easy to control as before? Why do you have to fight against the court? Be careful." Can't you live a good life?"

When they ran to the backyard in a mess, all they saw was the mess and the wide open back door.

While Frank was at a loss, seven or eight soldiers moved, and Langz and several of his companions who were mixed with the merchants were directly pressed to the ground. The level of ruthless sophistication has not been able to do patrols and arrests over the years, let alone soldiers who are mainly in battle.

Zhang Haogu said with a smile: "They, they are really here to make trouble."

"Hahahahaha! How can there be so much money, how can there be so much money?!"

"Oh, it's really self-inflicted. Speaking of it, I didn't believe it when the price of silver fell. Later, it was this Lord Cai who took the silver from my family. He thought it was a good deed, but he didn't expect that he wanted to go against the court."

Small and medium-sized businessmen know that their ability to bear risks is poor, and they will not make decisions lightly. They did not speculate in silver in a daze. After the price of silver fell, except those who wanted to go overseas to do business with foreigners, the rest also dumped their silver. If it goes out, it can't be said to be a profit, but it can't be considered a loss either.

Just kidding, the yamen pass certificate will be given tomorrow morning.

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!"

After this news caused waves in the city, it dissipated like smoke. The matter of the Cai family is destined to be a piece of talk, and the past is over.

The price of silver was turbulent before, and some people took the lead in making troubles, causing the people to be blind and confused. Now that the court has taken action and the people are awake, they naturally understand what happened.

But anyway, there is still some hope. Selling all the money in his hand now should be able to exchange for some loans.

But the next day, a news spread in the city that Cai Defu was dead. He ran all the way into the river insanely and drowned himself.

"What do you mean?" Frank was at a loss.

The huge blow shattered his mind and made him feel dizzy, he didn't know what he was doing, he didn't know what he should do, he just wanted to vent.

And there are more than one speculators like Cai Defu in all parts of Daming.

Western businessman Frank was very dissatisfied. He was stopped when he was about to leave Daming. The guards on the pier refused to let them leave, saying that they had not yet received permission from the yamen.

Zhu Youxiao nodded: "Exactly, let him live for a few days and feel the despair."

The turmoil in the market is nothing more than the panic caused by the aftermath of the silver price drop, and most of the people are disturbed by those rumors and rumors.

"These foreigners are used to doing this. Western customs are different from mine in Ming Dynasty. Their merchants can really control the country, manipulate the parliament, and even go after the emperor and king to collect debts, so they think it can be replicated in the East." Zhang Haogu laughed. Tasting the tea, the tea from the palace is really better than the tea from his house. You can drink as much as you want every time, and you don't have to worry about running out of tea.

Soon, those who took the lead in making troubles and manipulating public opinion were all caught by the local government. With the cooperation of the people, none of these people could escape, and all of them were sent to prison, waiting for their meeting. It is a long working life.

Do ordinary soldiers of Ming Dynasty have such qualities?
The official surnamed Li took out a document: "Lontz, during the currency reform period of my Ming Dynasty, I manipulated Ming merchants to disrupt the market, affect the economy and cause local riots. He is not an ordinary merchant. We need to take him away for investigation. Of course, Frank you You can leave."

People gave way one after another, watching this once well-known Cai Da businessman rushing wildly, they didn't know what to say about the feeling in their hearts.

At the same time, the latest decree of the Ming Dynasty was issued, and the Ming Daily was quickly published in various places to appease the market and stabilize people's livelihood.

"Youjian? What is he here for?" Zhu Youxiao frowned slightly, didn't his rebellious brother always refuse to come to him?
Wei Zhongxian said: "His Royal Highness King Xin came here crying, he looks very pitiful."

The maid looked terrified: "Master, the master is gone!"

Speaking of silver, it really doesn’t have much to do with the people. Just like before, the people’s homes were just copper plates and scattered silver ladles. Now the people’s homes are mainly made of treasure notes, and they don’t have much silver, so they were sold early.

Crazy Cai Defu was laughing wildly, mad, his clothes were disheveled, his hair was disheveled, and he was talking nonsense and running around at home with his bare feet.

"Hurry up and look for it!" Wang was completely anxious. If Cai Defu couldn't find it, then the Cai family would be completely ruined. What should her child do? !

"Fake! Fake! It's all fake!"

The treasure notes are completely worthless, what should they do? !

As for the rest, if Cai Defu can regain his strength, then the Cai family can still be saved.

Now the Ming Pao clearly points out that there are only a group of people who are trying to interfere with Daming's market, trying to control Daming's economy and seek personal gain. Daming's market is still stable, and the banknotes are still strong.

The creditors were heartbroken and beat their chests one by one. Their investment was wasted, their assets shrank, and what was left to them was these worthless silver. But now is not the time when the price of silver is equal to one thousand treasures. Five hundred treasure notes are not even worth it!
A tael of silver is now only worth more than 100 treasure notes, which has shrunk by ten times, and the money is still shrinking!

It's a pleasure to cut it with a knife, but the loss of the court is great. After confiscating property, sending it to repair roads, dig mines, build dams, and dig ditches is also a labor force.

"Master Li, you are joking. How can ordinary guards be enough to deal with you? Speaking of which, if you don't stay at Huang Taiji's place well, what are you doing when you come back? Take it down! Life or death!"

"Dead?! If you die, you will be able to settle everything?! At the beginning, you were full of confidence, and you said it with arrogance. You really thought you could compare with those big chambers of commerce, but you gave such an explanation?!"

"This great businessman Cai used to be a talent. He was young and successful, and turned to shopping malls. He accumulated a lot of wealth along the way. Even the magistrate of the county is always smiling. Why is he so depressed now?"

Lanz was taken away by those seemingly ordinary soldiers. Frank watched Lanz being taken away with a blank face. What happened?
At the same time, at the port of Tianjin Prefecture, several people were blocked in a corner, surrounded by dozens of guards, with shield soldiers in front, spears behind, and bows and arrows on both sides. These few people were extremely sleepy, and any rash move would be a thunderbolt.

Fuzhou, Guangzhou, Songjiang.
Franji people, Spaniards, Dutch people, and people from Huang Taiji, it can be said that a group of demons danced wildly, and none of them ran away!
A piece of news was collected on Zhu Youxiao's desk case. Looking at these files, Zhu Youxiao couldn't help laughing: "These people are really like hyenas. They swarm here when they smell a little fishy smell. Thinking of shorting my Ming Dynasty and manipulating my Daming's economy? I really don't know what it means!"

"Isn't it better to make money and live a better life? Why do you have to fight against the court? Did the court not forgive him?"

While the two were talking, Wei Zhongxian hurried in: "My lord, Master Zhang, His Royal Highness Xin Wang is here."

"The heart is not enough to swallow the elephant, but I have pity on the Wang family. I have always supported him. Now if I am with him, I will be in bad luck!"

"Why don't you let us go?!"

The futures market was devastated. The plunge in silver prices not only affected silver, but the entire futures suffered a severe blow. The market was in turmoil. receive a blow.

Want to replace Baochao?The national strength and military strength surpassed that of Ming Dynasty, and then we will talk about defeating Ming Dynasty!
The imperial court's propaganda and the appeasement of the local yamen undoubtedly calmed down the common people. After careful consideration, the common people were not fools, and they also discovered the truth behind the manipulation of public opinion during this period. It's time to reap everyone's wealth, and those few people can be recognized at a glance every day.

After the imperial court threw out money continuously from Shuntian Mansion, these speculators who realized that they were dreaming after all and could not compete with the imperial court woke up from their dreams, looking at the money in their home full of silver, and seeing the debts they owed that could not be repaid The debt is astonishing. These people are crazy and insane. In just three or two days, more than a dozen people hanged themselves or threw themselves into the river.

Thinking of the huge foreign debt owed by the family, and thinking of her husband who seemed to be crazy, Wang felt that the past few days were comparable to a magical world, and the ups and downs made the heart go into cardiac arrest.

When he found out that the money he bought after going bankrupt finally plummeted and it was impossible to save it, when he found out that he was busy but now he didn't make a penny and owed more than a dozen loans that would last for ten lifetimes, he, crazy!
"Hahahahaha! It's fake! It's all fake!"

And some seemingly normal ones jump off cliffs when they are relaxing, and throw themselves into lakes.

This official, Frank, is very familiar. He is an official of the business office of Yingtianfu, Ming Dynasty. Frank followed him to learn the most orthodox Jinling Mandarin, and learned a lot of etiquette in Ming Dynasty. This official also took good care of Frank. They can be called good friends. .

Now it is unrealistic to seek support from the Wang family, she can only find a way to save herself.

"It's all fake! It's all fake!"

"I'm the richest man, I'm the richest man, Daming should listen to me!"

"Lee! You're here! Look, they won't let us leave. We're friends, aren't we?" Frank said.

Now that Daming treasure banknotes are linked to gold, the circulation of treasure banknotes is still the same. Based on Daming's gold reserves and the reputation and strength of the Ming court, treasure banknotes are still the most widely circulated and most credible currency in the entire Ming Dynasty and even the East.

"We have a legal identity, and we are here to do business. Is this how Daming treats businessmen who sincerely come to do business?!"

The officer surnamed Li nodded: "Frank, we are friends, but your friend Lanz is not enough friends."

His hair was disheveled, his body was covered in mud, his bare feet were already full of wounds, and his body was full of bump marks, but Cai Defu didn't know it, he got up from the ground in confusion, and looked at the terrified eyes and avoiding expressions of the people around him. , smiled brightly, and then rushed out of the city: "Fake! Hahahahahaha! It's all fake!"

Zhu Youxiao couldn't help laughing: "Huang Taiji is really good. He can give me something different every time. He only has this little trick left. He's afraid. He's afraid that the court will spare his hand to make another move. The target is him."

"Sensibility? How do you make me rational? What reason do you want me to use?! So much money, if it is said to be in vain, it will be in vain. We believe in him and support him. Once he dies, what shall we do?!"

Thinking about it this way, the Wang family barely gave herself a little confidence. After all, she can't do other things right now. Her natal family gave her a lot of help before. Among the dozens of huge foreign debts owed by Cai Defu, there is the Wang family of.

And the big businessmen and gentry with a lot of money have also been stabilized. In fact, it is those speculators and some blind speculators who have lost the most.

"Thinking about it now, those great gentry from the big chamber of commerce must have seen us jumping around like fleas, and knew that we were looking for death. Just thinking about it makes me feel ashamed, ashamed!"

People chatted and gossiped, watched Cai Defu run out of the county, and then saw the mistress of the Cai family, Wang Shi, rushing out with her servants to look for them. After chasing outside the city, when Cai Defu and Mrs. Wang disappeared, people had nothing to discuss and dispersed one after another.

"I heard that these people planned it long ago. They wanted to control the money in the world so that they could manipulate the market. As a result, they didn't have enough capital. Now they can't control anything. Instead, they are all trapped and unable to get out."

In addition to these people, there are also some foreigners and barbarians stranded in Daming.

"Crying here? What's the situation?" Zhu Youxiao really didn't know. He didn't pay much attention to Zhu Youjian's situation these days. He couldn't be really greedy and lose money, right?

Wei Zhongxian explained: "His Royal Highness Xin Wang planned to make a big fortune, but it happened just in time for the court to make a move. He originally wanted to eat the silver, but the amount was too large for him to bite at all. In the end, the price of silver plummeted. Xin Wang Your Highness has already lost all his money, the foreign debts owed to dozens of families are not counted, the palace is gone, and there is not a single treasure in hand, only the money left."

"At that time, the price of silver plummeted completely, and the king of Xin still didn't believe it. After repeated confirmations, he fainted out of breath, and now he just woke up and cried to find the emperor."

Listening to Wei Zhongxian's explanation, Zhu Youxiao felt embarrassing all over his face. The feeling that his younger brother was dishonored in front of his good friends made Zhu Youxiao panicked with embarrassment. Looking at Zhang Haogu, Zhu Youxiao opened his mouth , and finally sighed: "Hey, let him in, don't be ashamed outside, this one doesn't live up to it."
