After three years of enfeoffment, the waste prince shocked the court boss

……

Xiao's old house, the room is brightly lit at the moment.

If you take a closer look, you will find that the people sitting in this room are all dignified and powerful people from aristocratic families.

In addition to the Xiao family, Liu family and Sun family, there are six families no smaller than these three families participating.

In the opposite room, more than [-] accountants were crackling and counting.

"Old Xiao, can this really work? I don't know what to do. It's been almost a month since I bought banknotes. How can I still see banknotes in the market?"

The Patriarch of the Sun Family, Sun Yanqing said anxiously.

"Hmph, if the old man's guess is correct, the bank must have printed another batch after seeing that there were too many banknotes being exchanged.

Now that there is not so much silver in the treasury, and you dare to print so many banknotes, you are looking for death! "

Xiao Mutang said disdainfully.

Before that, he was worried about bringing down the bank, but now he has some wisdom in his hands.

"Mr. Xiao, I have already bought 800 million taels of banknotes. This is not counting the deposits of those merchants who have been bribed. Now the money of the six of us is almost consumed. Can we do it?"

Zhao Qiutang, the Patriarch of the Zhao Family, who was invited by the Xiao Family's promise of benefits, persuaded him.

He participated in this matter because he was moved by the benefits given by the Xiao family, and felt that this matter could be done.

But he didn't expect to play such a big game, betting all the cash flow of his Zhao family.

And once on this ship, it seems that there is no way to give up halfway. At this moment, he already has some regrets in his heart.

"Not enough, we only have one chance to make a shot, if we don't make a shot, it's fine, once we make a shot, we must kill with one blow.

Since there are still banknotes on the market today, let’s continue to accept them!

Mortgage all the houses, land and shops! "

Xiao Mutang threw the ground with a loud sound, and knocked his crutches heavily on the ground.

……

Chapter 200 Run

A hidden street corner in the capital.

At the moment, the two are having a sneaky conversation.

"It's hard to find banknotes now. This is already the lowest price. The price increase is not high. If you want to accept it, you can accept it.

I can get a [-]% discount if I go to the store to buy things with banknotes, so there is no need to waste my saliva with you here. "

A young man in commoner clothes is playing the role.

"Okay, give me whatever you have, and I'll give you cash."

The middle-aged man who was talking to him said helplessly.

After the middle-aged man handed over a heavy bag of silver to the young man and walked away, the young man showed a playful smile, and took out a wad of banknotes from his arms to ostentatiously pass the market.

Xiao's old house.

"Old Xiao, I have bought 820 million taels of banknotes, you can stop."

Patriarch Zhao Qiutang said anxiously.

The other aristocratic families also looked at Xiao Mutang expectantly.

Half a month, only half a month, these aristocratic families mortgaged all the assets that could be mortgaged, and the Xiao family even mortgaged the century-old ancestral house.

In exchange for a large amount of silver money to buy banknotes at a premium.

Now, they have already emptied their silver deposits, and the banknotes are piled up in a large warehouse.

Every family sent their direct descendants to guard the warehouse day and night, fearing that if there was a sudden fire, it would all be burnt out and it would be over.

"Well, it's almost there, but Li Su didn't dare to print banknotes without limit.

Hmph, let someone initiate a manual operation early in the morning. This time, I will make that bank disappear completely! "

Xiao Mutang's eyes were sharp, and the veins in his hands were bulging as he tightly held the crutch in his hand.

Whether it succeeds or not depends on tomorrow.

Day two.

Today's capital seems to be different from usual.

Fortune Street, which shouldn't be crowded, is now extremely congested.

As soon as the Royal Bank opened, it saw countless people dressed in common people rushing towards the bank's gate waving banknotes in their hands.

"I want to exchange for silver!"

"I want to change money too!"

There were loud shouts from the crowd.

The staff finally calmed down the crowd, and opened all the windows for them to line up to exchange money one by one.

In the block not far from Fortune Avenue, several sneaky people were shouting loudly.

"Have you heard that the bank is out of money, and the banknotes can't be exchanged for silver, they are just a piece of waste paper.

Now the bank is full of people who exchange money, and there is not even a hair left if they go late. "

The people who heard the words turned pale with fright, and ran towards their homes in a hurry.

Out of trust, they deposited all the money in the Royal Bank, either in a deposit account or in paper money.

If it all turns into waste paper, they have nothing.

Now they would rather believe what they have or not, and go home to get banknotes and household checks and go to the bank to have a look.

Such scenes happened in every corner of the capital.

All the staff of the Royal Bank were dispatched, and countless silver was moved out to be exchanged by the common people.

But for two full hours, at noon, the number of people increased instead of decreasing.

It seems that endless people are constantly gathering here.

When the bank staff saw the dense crowd, they immediately felt that something was wrong.

He hurriedly sent someone to report to Liu Lin.

On the top floor of the Beijing Stock Exchange opposite the bank, Li Su sat by the window and quietly watched the crowded bank gate.

"Your Highness, they have started."

Liu Lin bowed and said to Li Su.

"Well, I knew early on that the family's movements have always been under my control."

Li Su picked up a cup of hot tea unhurriedly, took a sip carefully and put it down.

"Then why does His Highness allow them to run on the bank?"

Liu Lin was puzzled.

"Today's incident, in fact, will happen sooner or later, or they are a family with a purpose.

Either the people panicked and spontaneously exchanged collectively for some reason to form a run.

Since it is unavoidable, why not take this opportunity to show the strength of the bank and consolidate the credit of the bank.

After this incident, those who had doubts about the bank can also re-examine the bank. "

Li Su explained.

"Your Highness is wise."

……

At noon, it was supposed to be the bank staff's rest time.

But at the moment it is still full of people exchanging real silver.

In the beginning, the majority of people exchanged paper money.

But at this time, those merchants and common people who deposited their silver in the bank also brought their household certificates and demanded that they be exchanged for real silver.

A branch of Jingshi Royal Bank did not have a lot of silver deposits, but it was all exchanged at noon at this moment.

"Everyone, wait patiently. Our bank doesn't have that much money in the warehouse right now, and we have already sent the money here through the contact person!"

The staff had to stand up and explain patiently.

"Exchange money! Exchange money! Let's not listen to excuses. Your bank said that banknotes and household notes can be exchanged for money at any time. Could it be that you are lying to us!"

"Banks are liars! Banks are liars!"

"These are our hard-earned money, please change it for us, old man, I don't want any interest, just return the principal to me!"

A plainly dressed old man with a vicissitudes of life waved the household ticket in his hand and cried.

As soon as this remark came out, it immediately resonated with the crowd.

"Yes, we don't want interest, change the money quickly!"

"I heard that they have borrowed all the money, and the treasury is already empty!"

"Your bank is so devoid of conscience that it even cheats people's money!"

As soon as these words came out, the emotions of the crowd were directly ignited, and shouts and curses erupted.

Obviously, someone in the crowd is taking the rhythm!

Lead public opinion in a direction that is unfavorable to the bank.

……

Chapter 201 One hundred million taels

It's on the second floor of Youfu Restaurant not far from the Royal Bank.

A few people who looked like dignitaries were talking with smiles on their faces.

"Old Xiao, not only are we exchanging real silver this time, but the people and merchants who are starting to get scared are also running to run on it.

For an exchange of this scale, I am afraid that the money in the treasury is not enough! "

The Patriarch of the Sun Family, Sun Yanqing, laughed heartily.

"Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this bank can't keep it. Who dares to embezzle the money from the treasury at the risk of the world. Could it be that the court has really become that Li Su's speechless? It's ridiculous."

Liu Zhaofeng, the head of the Liu family, said with a look of disdain.

"Just wait and see, today is the day the bank collapses.

At that time, we will take over the bank as a matter of course, then Li Su and the court will just make wedding dresses for us. "

Xiao Mutang stroked his beard and said calmly.

"Ginger is still old and hot, Xiao Lao is really clever.

At this time, when you take down the bank, please don't forget the efforts of my family in it. "

The patriarch of the Zhao family, Zhao Qiutang, flattered the situation and reminded the three major banks not to forget the benefits they had promised.

There were several layers of people inside and outside the Royal Bank, and the staff explained anxiously, but their voices were quickly drowned out by the angry crowd.

Someone took the lead, and the people outside desperately tried to squeeze in.

There are dense banknotes and household notes waving in their hands, and they all want to be the first to exchange them for real silver.

Any explanation given by the staff now seems to them to be deliberately deceiving them because there is no money in the warehouse.

No one wants their savings to become a pile of waste paper, people's eyes are red, and some people even cry.

News of the bank being run on quickly spread in all directions, attracting more people to exchange money.

In the end, some officials of the imperial court waved banknotes and household notes in disregard of their face and demanded to exchange them for real silver.

In fact, officials and nobles like them are the big customers of real banks.
