Chapter 91
After performing the drama of the little emperor's "high-profile entry to pick up the offer", the round of 11 taels of purchase price also ended shortly after.

The number of precious banknotes purchased in this round was about 19, and the silver taels paid were as high as 9 million taels!

In order to pay for these expenses, Li Yuntang not only used up all the 60 taels of the little emperor's silver, but also took in all of the balance of more than 100 million taels from the previous buying low and selling high.

As for the precious banknotes he put on the market, the first round was 13, and due to the inconvenience brought out from the imperial city, the number gradually increased by [-] to [-] each round.

The total number of precious banknotes scattered among the people before was about 23; that is to say, there are still a certain amount of precious banknotes in the hands of those rich and powerful. "Cash out".

Now everything is in place, only the last east wind is needed.

And this east wind also blows along with it.

Under Li Yuntang's instigation, Andrew, who is like a tool man, soon announced his new price for the purchase of treasure notes - 16 taels. Compared with the previous increase of one to two taels each time, the price increase this time is enough The foot more than doubled.

But Li Yuntang is not worried, because of such a rise, it will arouse the vigilance of those powerful people.

One is that the cash output that lasted for more than half a month has given those people a taste of the sweetness. They firmly believe in the benefits of precious money; the greed in human nature will also suppress reason to a certain extent.

In addition, seven or eight rounds of continuous buying and selling are also a process of screening target users.

Those who are cautious by nature, such as Shangguanmeng, either do not enter the game directly, or quit after a few rounds; while the rich and powerful who are jealous of seeing others make money, like moths to a flame, fill their gaps. vacancy.

It was the night of September [-]th, and a round of bright moon was hanging alone in the dark night sky; at the turn of Xushi and Haishi, the police Nanya General Office, located in the southeast corner of the outer city, in an unremarkable alley, was covering this place. Under the silence.

A vigorous figure quietly approached the door that was no different from the door of ordinary people through the night, knocked on the door three times long and one short four times, and then he asked in a low voice:
"If a general wins and returns, and the emperor orders him to choose one of the marquis and money as a reward, how can the general get both?"

From inside the door that seemed to fit tightly without any light, a ridiculous answer suddenly came out:
"In the land of Gansu and Shanxi in the previous Ming Dynasty, there was a guard named Jingluwei. In this dynasty, because of its silver production, it was changed to Baiyin County. The general can be asked to be the Marquis of Baiyin, and he can get both."

When the signal was matched, the door opened, and the faint light from inside the door shone on the face of the person who knocked, revealing a familiar face—it was that hard-headed Xuan Tian.

After crossing the threshold, Xuan Nian didn't even say hello, and asked directly, "Where is the angel?"

"The back hall."

Xuan Nian who got the answer didn't hesitate at all, and walked in quickly. When he saw Li Yuntang sitting in the hall, he opened his mouth and said:
"Angel, the 50 banknotes smuggled out a few days ago have been distributed to bureaus, flags, and teams according to the angel's instructions!"

Even if all the 19 treasure notes were sold at a price of 15 taels, the profit would not exceed 300 million taels; although the amount was not small, it still felt a bit thunderous and rainy.

So Li Yuntang repeated his old trick, asking the emperor to go out of the palace as a cover, pass through the guard of honor of the police chief again, and bring out a large number of precious banknotes to be thrown out at the final harvest.

If all the 69 banknotes were sold at a price of 15 taels, the profit for the emperor would be more than 1000 million taels of silver!

It must be known that the annual tax revenue of the Great Han Dynasty was only more than 4000 million taels; in less than a month, Li Yuntang had harvested as much as a quarter of the country's annual income through treasure notes.

Hearing Xuan Nian's report, Li Yuntang raised his head. After seeing the person coming, he first called someone to bring tea in, and then nodded at the seat beside him, motioning him to sit down.

Xuan Nian immediately went over and sat down. Before he could sit still, he couldn't wait to make a sound:
"Angel, the villain doesn't understand, why did the angel set the date of buying Buyi four days later?
In the past, the time between the last purchase stop and the next purchase start was only one to two days, but now it has suddenly expanded to four days, which inevitably makes people suspicious! "

When Li Yuntang heard this question, he paused first, then shook his head and smiled: "You think I don't know the reason why nights are long and dreams are many, but it is really helpless to make such a bad plan..."

As a person of later generations, Li Yuntang understands that when cutting leeks, he should be quick, precise and ruthless; but the actual conditions of the Han Dynasty did not allow him to do so...

Because there is a huge gap between ancient times and modern times, that is——

Currency question!

In the financial market of later generations, the numbers in the account can be transferred very conveniently by typing on the keyboard lightly.

But in the environment of the Han Dynasty, not to mention financial accounts, there was not even a general equivalent of paper recognized by the market, and the purchase and sale of precious banknotes could be settled in gold and silver.

Even when Li Yuntang sold it secretly, he tended to use gold with higher value for settlement to reduce the burden of transportation and storage, and even the price of gold in the capital rose slightly.

Let's go back to the question of money. Previously, every night, the amount was about one million or two. If more people were sent overnight, it would not be difficult to transport them back.

But in the last wave of cutting leeks, the number of treasures sold skyrocketed.Li Yuntang calculated that the silver received after selling all the banknotes was about 1035 million taels, and the Dahan's 1 tael was the same as the previous Ming Dynasty, which was about 37.3 grams in later generations.

1035 million taels of silver, converted to more than 380 tons of silver!

Although there are more than 2000 police officers in the South Office monitoring Gyeonggi, not all of them are on standby. What's more, logistics support, management and other things require people to do them.

Therefore, even if Li Yuntang sent out all five bureau chiefs to sell treasures and return silver taels, he would still be able to gather about eighty small teams, with the number of people in each team ranging from ten to fifteen people. The city and the city are added together, and a total of about a thousand people are arranged.

It takes 1000 people to move back more than 380 tons of silver in one or two nights. On average, it is equivalent to one person having to bear more than 700 catties of silver.

Even if all the money is pulled by a carriage, it cannot be pulled, and the movement of dozens of carriages is too blatant.

After four days and five nights, the burden of time and manpower is much smaller. The burden of one person is about 150 catties. Using tools such as shoulder poles, plus one or two extra trips for each team, it is barely enough Strong to complete the task.

After such an explanation, Xuan Nian knew that he hadn't thought carefully, but the question in his heart was still not solved, so he continued to ask: "But the angel is really not afraid of the dignitaries in the capital, is it because of this time that he has doubts?"

"Everything is under my control!"

Speaking of this, Li Yuntang's voice became more confident, he looked at Xuan Nian with a smile on his face, and continued:
"This time is calculated by me. Not only will it not make the dignitaries in Beijing suspicious, but it will also make them feel that this delay is a reasonable move!"

Xuan Nian didn't say anything, but leaned forward slightly, staring intently at the angel, wanting to know what the angel explained, and Li Yuntang didn't make any more fools:
"The date of Emperor Daxing's funeral was set half a month ago, just three days later.

Donghua Gate is the gate of ghosts. When the emperor goes out for a funeral, the coffin must first enter the Forbidden City, then exit from the gate of ghosts, and then pass through Dong'an Gate until Chaoyang Gate to leave the capital.

The Huangzhuang I chose is just outside the Chaoyang Gate, on the way to the emperor's funeral. On the grounds of the emperor's funeral, he closed down for three days before and after the purchase of the treasure banknotes, in order to make him show respect——

Isn't that unreasonable? "

After hearing this, Xuan Nian nodded his head one after another as if enlightened, and Li Yuntang was even more excited:
The national mourning in the Han Dynasty was [-] days after the death of the emperor, and now the time has almost passed...

The little emperor will soon marry the queen too!
 I'm sorry, I'm afraid I won't be able to complete the Haikou boast. Welcome to the group to receive red envelopes, which will be distributed at 12 o'clock.

  And then there's definitely one more chapter before bed.
