I smashed the emperor's daughter

Chapter 90
The purchase price of the treasure banknotes given by the Breti envoys has risen all the way from six taels after the fourth price increase (the fourth price increase is the fifth purchase price), and until now, the price has stayed at a fairly On a high position - a full 11 taels of silver. (The purchase price of the ten taels in the previous chapter is the private purchase price of the rich and powerful, pay attention to the distinction.)
This value is much higher than when the banknotes were just issued; at that time, although the officials forced the banknotes to be equivalent to silver, the market did not recognize them. You can buy five or six shi of rice, which is only seven or eight taels of silver.

Li Yuntang has inadvertently hyped up the "issue price" of the treasure banknote; I don't know how Emperor Qiansheng would feel if he knew it.

Li Yuntang naturally didn't realize this, he had more important things to do.After the round of the purchase price of 11 taels, he will ask Andrew to increase the purchase price by a large amount, and declare that the amount of treasure notes he has obtained so far is far from what he needs.

Then, before the final acquisition that does not exist, Li Yuntang will send the police to all the people in the Nanya Yamen to secretly throw out as many treasures as possible in their hands; cash out at the highest point, and make a good wave of leeks!
But before that, he still needs to perform all the tricks; because in the eyes of the courtiers and the capital's dignitaries and nobles, the little emperor has not bought many treasures.

After all, the secret power of the police station in the Nanya cannot be exposed, and the three guards of Pengchen, Gongsheng, and Habayashi cannot be mobilized at will; on the bright side, the emperor can only use the eunuchs in the palace to search for treasures all over the street, which is inefficient. , as one can imagine.

The purpose of performing the "acquisition" drama today is to leave people with the impression that the little emperor once "accepted" a batch of precious banknotes at a high price in broad daylight.

Then, with this impression, the little emperor can reasonably pretend to be the victim, and then clear himself of the suspicion of cutting leeks to the greatest extent.

Because most of the time, people are only willing to believe the conclusions that make them feel better; after the collapse of the treasure banknote market, the nobles and nobles in the city will inevitably lose their hearts and bleed.

But if at that time, it was heard that the Son of Heaven belonged to the wave that lost the most in this scam; the dignitaries would comfort themselves, that even the Son of Heaven had followed this way, and it would not be so hard to accept being deceived.

It is not difficult to understand this kind of thinking; Li Yuntang encountered similar examples before traveling.

In terms of the truth of the two things, the former is that the little emperor made a lot of money, and the latter is that both the website and the author made a lot of money.

As for the illusion created by the two, the former is that the little emperor lost all his money, and the latter is that the author's article is not good.

The illusion sounds more dramatic, and after watching it, it can make the person who sees feel more happy.

This is to take advantage of people's lack of knowledge about a certain aspect to fabricate facts that the public is willing to believe, so as to complete the concealment of the truth.

In the era of the information explosion in later generations, this kind of psychological tricks can be used to deceive the world. Today, the rich and powerful who have not experienced the baptism of various routines naturally find it difficult to see the essence through the phenomenon.

On this day, Li Yuntang put on his dashing unicorn robe, and came to the east of Chaoyang Gate, in front of Huangzhuang, which was specially used to buy banknotes.

He was still leaning on an Eight Immortals chair, sitting on the ground without a proper shape; there were still several soldiers of the Imperial Army standing beside him, and a bayonet was set up. ,

The only difference is that this time, it is not for the purpose of protecting civilian leeks and intercepting retail investors who come to sell precious banknotes sporadically;

"stop!"

As soon as the bayonet was set up, merchants carrying valuable banknotes passed by; after secretly getting a lot of rewards from Li Yuntang, the sergeants of the Imperial Army worked hard; they stopped the people and explained the rules:

"This is the tax customs set up by the emperor. Before entering the Huangzhuang, you need to pay the tax!"

"Pay, pay taxes?" The businessman looked surprised, and even suspected that there was something wrong with his ears, and he heard the wrong words.

"This tax is not money, on the contrary, you pay the tax, and we have to give you money!"

Li Yuntang on the side sat upright on the chair while replying, then he bowed his hands to the northwest respectfully, and continued:
"All you need is to take out the tenth of the treasure you are carrying and sell it to the emperor, and it will be considered as having paid the tax!"

After hearing the words, the merchant immediately sneered in his heart. Now that the treasures are in the capital, they can be regarded as hard currency, but the families of the rich and powerful are not willing to use them to buy goods; the emperor is setting up cards here now, isn’t it? Is it equivalent to stealing?

This is for money, not even face!
But these words can only be said in the heart, the leading shopkeeper pretended to be very obedient, and asked with a smile: "Dare to ask the officer, how to calculate the price of selling precious banknotes?"

"Same as inside - 11 taels!"

Li Yuntang's voice suddenly raised eight tunes, as if he was not only talking to this businessman, but also to the businessmen behind him not only what happened here.

After the shopkeeper heard this, he was puzzled; 11 taels for the sale, 11 taels for the sale, the emperor couldn't make any money, and he even paid for it, what the hell was he trying to do?
But this is precisely Li Yuntang's special design!

If the purchase price is lower than the standard price pursued by the barbarians in Huangzhuang after the card is set up, it may dampen the enthusiasm of the market. If panic is caused among the powerful and a chain reaction of selling occurs, it will be shooting yourself. foot.

And buying it at the same price can greatly reduce its negative impact, and even have the benefit of enhancing the confidence of the rich and powerful in the appreciation of the treasure!

"The treasurer."

The young guy next to the merchant suddenly called out to his boss, and after the latter came over, the guy went on to analyze:
"Your Majesty will definitely not make a loss-making business. If you are close to the water, you will get the moon first. Presumably, the Emperor got the relevant news from the barbarians. Knowing that the price of treasure banknotes will rise again, he will not hesitate to buy them at the current unprofitable price."

The shopkeeper immediately felt that it was very reasonable, and most of the doubts in his heart dissipated; he called his own buddy and counted out the corresponding amount of treasures.

On Li Yuntang's side, he didn't steal or play tricks, and paid cash in full. After receiving the money, the first businessman who came up called for his accompanying buddies and continued to walk into Huangzhuang.

A group of businessmen who were hesitant to move forward saw the first one leave happily, and their vigilance was lowered a lot. Some people were willing to approach the checkpoint gradually, but the number was not many.

After some people exchanged silver coins from Huangzhuang Yi people one after another, and brought back the news of the checkpoint to a large number of hesitant merchants, they were relieved and flocked to the checkpoint guarded by the imperial army.

Li Yuntang looked at the dwindling amount of money and the gradually piled up treasures, and his heart calmed down a lot. He didn't have the heartache of coming here for the first time, but he thought sinisterly:
Sell ​​it, sell it, this is the last false prosperity of the treasure banknote, after a few days, I will let you spit out all the principal and interest!
