It is inevitable that the change of dynasties will be changed, and the system of the East China government is very different from that of the Qing court. In the past, the Han family had no use to accumulate experience in the officialdom, so the Han family temporarily gave up their minds of official career and devoted themselves to doing business and seeking wealth. After all, if the family wants to survive, wealth is indispensable. Moreover, the East China government attaches much more importance to merchants than in previous dynasties. Even the top scholar Zhang Jian had started a business, so there was nothing to be ashamed of the Han family's change to business.

Although the Han family is a prominent family of officials, they are not a dumb study. They are also talented in doing business. They are very keen to discover that the business environment in Shanghai is much better than that in Tianjin, and the Han family has some relatives and friends in Shanghai, so they propose to Zhao Weizhong to develop to Shanghai. This coincides with Zhao Weizhong's plan, because the East China Government also made the same suggestions to Zhao Weizhong, and Zhao Weizhong completely believed in the East China Government. So the two sides hit it off and developed to Shanghai together.

The Shanghai Municipal Government is naturally very welcome to Zhao Weizhong's investment in Shanghai and provides many convenient conditions. At the same time, Zhao Weizhong has a strong economic foundation, and the Han family has connections in Shanghai. At this time, Shanghai was indeed full of opportunities. Therefore, the two companies joined forces and quickly opened up the situation in Shanghai. It took only more than two years to establish a very large industry in Shanghai. Zhao Weizhong handed over his industry in Shanghai to his daughter and son-in-law to manage, and the Han family was led by Han Yuping's second brother Han Tingping.

However, on the list of local merchants participating in the exchange of silver dollars, Zhao Weizhong saw two shops belonging to the Han family. Although it was not Han Tingping himself or the children of the Han family, but the shopkeeper, this could not deceive people. The others probably knew that the Han family was their own in-laws, and doing business in Shanghai was entirely up to their own relationships. Therefore, it is difficult for him to blame for the Han family's shops participating in the exchange of silver dollars.

Originally, Zhao Weizhong wanted to explain to Li Songchen, but after thinking about it, he decided to go to the Han family to understand the situation first and then make plans. And Li Songchen just said that the past can be left unrestrained, and only depends on their future performance, which also shows that there is still room for recovery.

So after everyone said goodbye to Li Songchen, Zhao Weizhong first sent his servants to the Han Mansion to inform him that he would visit the mansion and rush back to his home in Shanghai. He brought his wife Han Yuping with him, because this was the matter of the Han Mansion after all, and he was just an outsider, so it was necessary to bring Han Yuping with him. Moreover, Han Yuping was not an uninformed woman. Not only did he move to the Han Mansion and he also had a clear understanding of human affairs and current affairs and political situations. Taking her to the Han Mansion together was also more convenient for discussion.

After hearing what Zhao Weizhong said, Han Yuping was also shocked. He knew that this matter was extraordinary. If he didn't solve it quickly, the consequences would be quite serious. So, regardless of just arrived in Shanghai, he had not yet recovered completely, so he quickly changed his clothes and set off with Zhao Weizhong.

The couple came to the Han Mansion in a car. At this time, Han Tingping had arranged a sumptuous dinner in the mansion to prepare to receive Zhao Weizhong and his wife. Now the Han Mansion still has to blame Zhao Weizhong.

When Zhao Weizhong and his wife arrived, Han Tingping brought his son Han Zhong to greet him at the door. Seeing Zhao Weizhong and his wife's car driving to the door and stopping, Han Tingping's eyes also showed envy, because at this time the production of cars in the East China government was still very limited and the supply of veterans was given priority. Therefore, private cars are a symbol of status and cannot be bought with money. Zhao Weizhong's family has three cars, one in Tianjin, Qingdao and Shanghai each, which shows Zhao Weizhong's status in the East China government.

Zhao Weizhong and his wife got out of the car, and Han Tingping immediately met him and said, "Sister, brother-in-law, you are here, and you are waiting for you."

Zhao Weizhong nodded and said, "Second brother, I'm disturbing."

Han Tingping smiled and said, "We are all my family members. If you have any trouble, don't you? When did you arrive in Shanghai?"

Zhao Weizhong said: "It was here in the morning, but in the afternoon, he was invited by Mayor Li, and Mr. Xingsun, Mr. Ji Zhi and others to have a meeting with the municipal government. After the meeting, Mr. Xingsun wanted to invite everyone to get together. I said there was family affairs, so I turned it off."

Han Tingping nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes, yes, when you arrive in Shanghai, you can't come to your home first." But he was really envious in his heart. People like Sheng Xuanhuai and Zhang Jian, both in the Qing court and the current East China Government, were only welcomed by the Han family. Now Zhao Weizhong can be on an equal footing with them, and he still looked at it lightly.

While speaking, Han Tingping came to the main hall. Han Tingping's wife and a group of mothers were waiting here. After washing and changing clothes, Han Tingping said, "Sister, brother-in-law, come to the table."

Zhao Weizhong said: "Don't hurry to get into the seat first. We have something to say to our second brother, and find a place to sit first."

Han Tingping didn't think much about it, nodded and said, "Okay, come to my study."

So the couple followed Han Tingping to the study room. After the guests and guests were separated, Zhao Weizhong said: "The second brother should know about the government's announcement of the collection of seigniorage tax."

Han Tingping nodded and said, "Of course I know. I have been promoting this matter some time ago, so why didn't I know it! Now it has triggered the exchange of silver dollars, which is well known to everyone."

Zhao Weizhong also nodded and said, "This afternoon, Mr. Xingsun and Mr. Ji Zhi, I went to the municipal government for a meeting just to exchange silver dollars now."

Han Tingping said: "Oh, what did the government say!"

Zhao Weizhong said: "This silver dollar run was triggered by foreigners. The government has taken action to punish foreigners. We hope that we will assist the government and handle this silver dollar run."

Han Tingping's eyes hopped and said, "How do you want to help!"

Zhao Weizhong glanced at him and said, "We have agreed to go to the bank tomorrow and exchange silver dollars for banknotes. I have already ordered the shop in Shanghai to prepare all the silver dollars and exchange them all for banknotes."

Han Tingping was also shocked when he heard this and said, "Is it too risky to exchange all the silver dollars into paper money? The banknotes are not silver dollars! If something goes wrong in the future, wouldn't it be a huge loss?"

Zhao Weizhong said: "Second brother, the shop here must have exchanged silver dollars."

Han Tingping hesitated for a moment, finally nodded, and said, "Some time ago, it has been circulating in Shanghai. The government will invalidate all the banknotes, and there are many shops in Shanghai who have exchanged silver dollars. Chong'er repeatedly advised me to quickly exchange all the banknotes in my house into silver dollars, so as not to eliminate the banknotes, and the millions of yuan of property I have saved up in the past few years will be gone. I think it's right, just in case, so he arranged two shops to exchange silver dollars."

Han Yuping said, "Second brother, you are so confused! Don't think about it. If the government wants your property, can you really defend it? Just a few policemen are enough, and it is necessary to do such trouble. Although I am a woman, I have also heard some rumors. The current government is indeed full of credit and will never easily support itself. Moreover, Western countries mainly use paper money, which shows that paper money is not unavailable, so how could the government invalidate all paper money? Second brother has always been smart, so how could he believe these rumors easily. Now the government has taken action to punish foreigners. Second brother thinks he has heard some rumors. Do you think you can escape it?"

After hearing this, Han Tingping was a little panicked and said, "What should I do?" He turned to Zhao Weizhong again and said, "Brother-in-law, you still have some face in the government. Please help me think of a solution."

Zhao Weizhong shook his head and said, "How many silver dollars have you paid?"

Han Tingping said: "It's more than 20,000 silver dollars."

Zhao Weizhong said: "Fortunately, not too much. How many silver dollars are there in Shanghai now!"

Han Tingping said: "In addition to the more than 20,000 silver dollars that were redeemed, it looks like more than 50,000 yuan. Chong'er just counted it yesterday and planned to return to the 50,000 yuan silver dollars today, so that all the banknotes from several shops can be exchanged into silver dollars. Because you are coming, it will be postponed."

When Zhao Weizhong heard this, he was also surprised and said, "Fortunately, I didn't go to exchange it. I have to exchange it again, but it's hard to clean it up. I will immediately take all the silver dollars to the bank and exchange it into paper money. I will go to Mayor Li to explain it. This time I should be able to deal with it."

Han Tingping was stunned and said, "Do you want to exchange all the silver dollars?"

Before Zhao Weizhong could speak, Han Yuping said, "Yes, we must exchange all the silver dollars. We cannot keep a single silver dollar. We must also publicize it and tell everyone that we have exchanged all the silver dollars in our family into paper money. If we cannot do it, we may be powerless."

Han Tingping was stunned for a while, finally sighed and said, "Okay, I will arrange for Chong'er to do it tomorrow."

At this time, Zhao Weizhong felt heartbroken and said, "Second brother, our family's exchange of silver dollars was handled by Chong'er!"

Han Tingping nodded and said, "Yes!"

Zhao Weizhong said: "And the second brother decided to exchange silver dollars after listening to Chong'er's advice."

Han Tingping nodded again, suddenly his face changed, and he said, "Is it Chong'er..."

Zhao Weizhong shook his head and said, "I think Chong'er was cheated. Call Chong'er to ask and see who he has been interacting with these few days."

Han Tingping was not stupid either. After hearing this, he immediately understood. I was afraid that Han Chong would be deceived and was also used as a gunman, so he hurriedly called a family member to call Han Chong.
