Chapter 524 The storm rises

The opening ceremony of the capital store of Daming Money House can be said to be very successful. Strictly speaking, such success is completely beyond the Jiangxia plan.

It was just the first day, and the exchange amount of the total shop silver and treasure banknotes was as high as 250,000 taels of silver, and of course there were still many fractions, so I won't go into details here.

For a currency that has caused many people to suffer losses and lose credibility, Yunxian's original plan was already very good to be able to absorb 30,000 taels of silver on the first day.

But now 250,000 taels have suddenly appeared, which is simply a matter of ordinary things. Everyone knows that the following three words that happen to be ordinary are "There must be a demon."

Jiang Xia asked someone to check it out. Of the 250,000 taels of silver, 200,000 taels were deposited by the same person. What is the specific identity of this person? Qianmen is still investigating.

After the first day, the capital of the Daming Money Bank opened, several other Daming Money Banks in the capital, as well as the provinces, prefectures and counties outside the capital city, also began to open one after another.

Because the Ming Dynasty Baochao had failed once before, there were still many obstacles to the beginning. At least the attitude of the Ming Dynasty towards Baochao is still in a wait-and-see state.

But this kind of thing doesn't matter, because the country always has the means to circulate the currency.

For example, Jiang Xia issued several orders.

First, from now on, all salaries of all officials will be distributed using the Daming Baobao Bank. Second, local agricultural taxes and commercial taxes are allowed to collect the Baobao Bank. The exchange rate is still 1:1. Third, all funds purchased by the government will be allocated using the Daming Bao Bank.

Such three orders basically promoted the circulation of Daming Baochao from the official force. Then as time goes by, Daming Baochao will inevitably slowly circulate.

With Jiang Xia's status, it is naturally impossible to continue to do everything by yourself, and can only control it from a macro perspective. However, this matter is of great importance to the implementation of the Ming Dynasty Baochao, and Jiang Xia's energy has been dispersed a lot to pay attention to this matter.

In the first month, everything went smoothly.

More and more people are redeeming treasure banknotes. Although the amount is not large, the amounts in all parts of the country are not small. Because the exchanged silver, except for a part of it, the remaining silver will be summed up in the bank treasury of several provinces.

Therefore, the amount of silver circulating on the market will inevitably become less and less, and gradually, the circulation of Baochao will become greater and greater.

At the same time, Daming Money Bank's loan business and investment business are also booming. What is the most difficult thing in bank loans? It is undoubtedly reputation review and follow-up tracking, and these two are exactly the best of Qianmen.

Every person who applies for a loan at a Daming Money House will first submit information to Qianmen people for inquiries before allocating funds. Only after the inquiry is correct will the money be allocated to ensure that there will be no mistakes in lending.

As for investment, it is the simplest. You can buy all the spring tea in Longjing Village, Hangzhou for 100,000 taels of silver. After the spring tea is picked, it will be shipped to Fujian for sale. The profit can be several times increased by one expiry and one in.

In short, everything in the money house is temporarily developing in a better place.

But what are the things you fear most when starting such a banking business?

The first thing to be affected is of course fake coins impersonating real coins, followed by hard currency storage too low than paper currency circulation, causing inflation. Finally, there is another bank run.

After all, the basis for banking business development is still the word "credit". Once the reputation system collapses, the entire banking business and banking economic system will inevitably fall into collapse.

If currency has no credibility, the consequence of this is that the entire currency loses its value and becomes waste paper. If this happens, then the entire Ming Dynasty's economy will regress much.

In an old house not far from Eryuanli, Qi Wu, wearing a silver mask, sat in the study, looking at a wooden box just delivered by her confidant subordinate, with a deep look.

She reached out and pressed her hand on the lid of the wooden box and kept tapping the lid gently, but she couldn't untie the lid.

It can be seen that Qi Wu seems to be hesitating about something.

Finally, she sighed slightly and opened the lid of the wooden box. Inside the wooden box, a stack of Daming Baobao was neatly placed. The denominations were all the largest denominations of 100 taels.

Qi Wu took out a treasure note from the box, and then took out a treasure note from her arms. She specially pulled the oil lamp on the table closer to her, and then carefully compared it under the oil lamp.

They are all made of cotton velvet, and they are also made of pigments made of Huiqing ink. The two treasure notes are almost exactly the same.

That's right, the treasure notes that Qi Wu took out from the wooden box were fake.

She knew very well what she was doing, so she hesitated. Because she knew that the Ming Dynasty treasure banknote had begun to be circulated now. Once she circulated the forged Daming Bao banknote, the result would probably result in the destruction of many families.

After thinking about it over and over again, Qi Wu finally put the Zhang family’s treasure banknote on the oil lamp and lit it on fire and burned it to ashes.

Qi Wu casually covered the lid of the wooden box and walked out of the study with the wooden box.

Outside the study, Qi Wu's confidant subordinate was standing there. Qi Wu handed him the wooden box in his hand and said lightly: "Doesn't the printed code, and then burns all the fake treasure money that has been made. This plan ends here."

The confidant looked at Qi Wu in surprise, then nodded immediately: "Yes, I'll do it right away."

Seeing his confidant subordinate leave, Qi Wu sighed slightly and turned toward the direction of his boudoir.

Let’s talk about Qi Wu’s confidant Geng Li.

Geng Li was originally a swordsman in the world, and he was the kind of person who specialized in taking money and doing things for others. He was a bit similar to a profession like mercenaries.

It was just because of an accident that Geng Li took on the next task and got into trouble with a big man who should not have been messed with. He happened to have done something for Qi Wu before, so Qi Wu helped Geng Li.

Qi Wu exchanged a total of 50,000 taels of silver for Geng Li to be safe. From then on, Geng Li followed Qi Wu and existed as her confidant subordinate.

Geng Li received Qi Wu's clear instructions, which immediately destroyed everything about the forged treasure money. He did not dare to delay at all and immediately went to the forged workshop.

The workshop is deep in Weiba Hutong, in a very inconspicuous small courtyard.

Although it seems to be small, only people like Geng Li who participate in the entire process know how much manpower and financial resources have been spent on this workshop.

Geng Li did not knock on the door, but jumped directly into the yard.

The backyard of the yard was brightly lit, and two men in black stood outside the workshop and watched. The workers in the workshop were working in full swing.

"Cough cough." Geng Li coughed softly.

Two men in black immediately turned around and looked at Geng Li, both of them showed a look of flattery on their faces. One of them shouted, "Brother Geng Li, are you still here to stare at me so late?"

Another man in black smiled and said, "Brother Geng Li, you seem to be too distrustful of us. With our brothers watching, there will be no trouble in keeping it. We have worked overnight these days, and the treasure money we have made is nearly one million taels. If all of them are exchanged for silver, I'm afraid I can't finish it in a few lifetimes."

"That's right, the master is getting rich now. I don't know if she will reward us with some money."

Geng Li glanced at the two Tian brothers in front of him. They were old partners who had been swordsmen with him for several years. This time Qi Wu needed manpower, but she couldn't find someone she could trust, so Geng Li found the two Tian brothers.

But after not seeing each other for a year, the two brothers seemed to have changed a lot compared to before. They seemed to have become a little bit slick. Geng Li, who has always been dull and straightforward, doesn't like people who are very flirtatious.

Geng Li frowned slightly, and then said bluntly: "Don't think about those things anymore. The master asked me to burn all the fake treasure money and ruin the printed pattern."

"Burn...baked?" The boss Tian Chong looked at Geng Li in surprise. Although he knew that Geng Li was a person who never joked, he still doubted whether Geng Li was joking.

Tian Hu was also puzzled and asked, "What did you do if you burn it? These were all made after a long time. We have seen them all. They are almost exactly the same as real treasure banknotes. They can be completely distracted. These are not ordinary waste paper, these are silver, they are white silver."

Geng Li frowned and looked at the two of them and said lightly: "Master said it, it's all burned."

"This..." Tian Chong and Tian Hu both had a painful expression on their faces. Tian Hu couldn't help but say, "Then... can we keep some of our brothers and take them away from the flowers?"

Geng Li looked at Tian Hu and said, "It's all burning, not some burning."

"I..." Tian Hu was a little unhappy, but Tian Chong pulled Tian Hu and nodded, "Okay, since it was the master who ordered it and Geng Li to do the business again, we won't say much. Let's cook, let's cook."

Geng Li glanced at the two of them, then walked towards the workshop.

As soon as he passed by Tian Chong, Geng Li suddenly felt a strong wind blowing. It turned out that Tian Chong was holding a dagger and stabbing Geng Li quickly at Geng Li's waist.

Geng Li hid sideways, grabbed Tian Chong's hand and stared at him and shouted coldly: "Looking for death!"

"You are the one who seeks death!" Tian Hu shouted, and with a wave of his right hand, he threw a handful of lime into Geng Li's eyes. Geng Zhong's eyes closed immediately as he felt pain.

At this moment, Tian Chong and Tian Hu quickly seized the opportunity and stabbed Geng Li with a dagger.

Geng Li was suddenly blind, so he couldn't react. The two daggers of the Tian brothers were inserted into Geng Li's chest almost at the same time.

Geng Li held the two of them tightly, and finally fell to the ground unwillingly.
