Chapter 163 The Last Straw

Sun Jia smiled: "Brothers Jingji and Jingxiang are really bad guys, and with the addition of a month official, Guo Zeng was fascinated. This move depends on when you use it."

"Oh, tell me what's going on." Sun Dan's expression remained unchanged.

Only then did Sun Jia sort out her thoughts, and slowly told Sun Dan about the situation in the past ten days.

It turned out that since Feng Zhen said that he was going to the south to buy goods and left, the brothers from the Jing family took over Feng Zhen's position, and together with Yue Guan, they turned Guo Zeng into a playboy.

These two brothers are originally eating and drinking Bodhisattvas, who can play with things that can make things happen.Now in the world of flowers and flowers in the capital, supported by Sun Dan's large sum of money, suddenly entering the sea like a dragon, returning to the forest like a tiger, how fun it is.

Although Guo Zeng is also a native of the capital, he only has that little money every month, and it disappears as soon as he gets it.Besides, he is an honest person, and he hides in the mansion to study every day, but he is not very familiar with the romantic scene in the capital.Now with the Jing family brothers as the lead, I suddenly discovered that there are still many interesting things in life.

The three of them had a comfortable life during this period, they spent all day around Yue Guan learning opera from her, and then wandered back and forth in Fengyue Field, the expenses were huge.Fengyue's career has never been a cheap thing. At the beginning, Guo Zeng was a little embarrassed because he had no money, and proposed to share some of the corresponding expenses.But the brothers of the Jing family smiled and said, everyone is their own brother, so if you say money or not, let's put it there first and count it later.Although Guo Zeng felt it was wrong, he was also a little scared when he saw so much money being spent like water.But after being in contact with Yueguan in the past ten days, he has become deeply infatuated with this female actress, and he just feels that if he doesn't see this sweetheart for a moment, he won't be able to eat, and he won't be able to sleep.But because of the enthusiasm of the Jing family brothers, they let the two spend money.

So far, the three of them have spent a total of more than 400 taels of silver on Yueguan, and Guo Zeng also owed 100 taels of foreign debt.

"The 100 taels of foreign debt is calculated based on Guo Zeng's monthly money, and it can only be saved for five years without eating or drinking." Sun Jia smiled disdainfully, and then asked: "Now, Pingqiu is at the end of its rope, so we can continue to develop according to the current trend. , Ping’s bank has no much liquidity, should Guo Zeng be released?”

"No hurry, just wait." Sun Dan thought for a while, and said, "You have to wait until you have exchanged all the Ping's banknotes on your hands into cash before you can do it. In any case, you can't cause losses to the Lu Family Bank. .”

"Yes." Sun Jia nodded.

In the next few days, Sun Jia still sent people to Ping's bank to exchange cash.

She thought that Ping's family could not hold on any longer, but she didn't expect that after a few days, Ping's family was still standing. This situation made her feel very strange, so she ran over to ask Sun Dan.

Sun Dan had already got the news from the inside line of Jinyiwei who was ambushing Ping's bank, and replied: "According to a reliable source, Ping Qiuli paid 5 taels out of his own pocket, and collected 4 taels from Shanxi merchants, plus they Shrinking the money, the cash came back one after another, and this has lasted until now. By the way, have all the Ping's money notes on hand at the Lu Family Bank been exchanged?"

Sun Jia replied, "It's all been exchanged."

"Well, spread the rumor that Ping's Bank will close down soon, and all Ping's banknotes will be invalidated."

Sun Jia cheered up: "Okay, I'll go out and spread rumors." She sneered and said, "I want to see where Ping Qiuli can get money from?" Thinking of Ping Qiuli betting on his marriage, Sun Jia gritted his teeth with hatred, and couldn't wait to show that guy some awesomeness.

Rumors have grown wings. As soon as Sun Jia's news was released, they saw the crowds of exchangers at the gate of Ping's Bank these days. Run to exchange money.In order not to turn the banknotes in their hands into waste paper, some people even sell them at a low price, exchanging them for one tael of silver and eight yuan.At the lowest point, it even reached a ratio of ten to five.

Soon, a small money ticket trading market was formed at the gate of Ping's Bank, which was quite like the underground stock market of later generations.

Seeing this opportunity, Sun Dan immediately ordered Sun Jia to buy some discounted money tickets with his private money, planning to make a fortune when the price of money tickets rebounded.

He has already treated Ping's bank notes as a kind of stock, and he is also gambling that Ping Qiuli will not let this situation develop.

After a few days, Sun Dan and Sun Jia exchanged all the cash in their hands for Ping's banknotes. The total amount reached an astonishing 3 taels, and the capital spent was only a little over [-].

Ping Qiuli had spent all his efforts to get this money note, so naturally he refused to let his bank go bankrupt like this.Of course, it doesn't matter if it goes bankrupt.But the terrible thing is that some time ago, he printed a lot of money and gave it to the high officials of the DPRK and China as favors.If the bills become waste paper, I am afraid that the dignitaries in the court will be offended to death. If there is a major change in the court situation in the future, these people will not help.

So, Ping Qiuli gritted his teeth, took out another 10 taels and put it in, and begged his father to sue his grandma, and borrowed another [-] from Shanxi merchants, which stabilized the precarious Ping's banknotes.

Of course, it is impossible for Ping's money to turn around with this little money.And the matter of issuing new money notes has naturally become yellow.

With the injection of new funds, Ping's money bank finally stabilized.

Seeing that the opportunity was good, Sun Dan immediately released all the money tickets in hand at a price of ten to nine, and made a fortune as a result.

After a trip to the underground money ticket market, Sun Dan got 6000 taels, and even Sun Jia got [-] taels.This income was Sun Dan's private behavior, and it was not included in the income of the Lu family bank, so Sun Dan and Sun Jia naturally accepted it with a smile.These days, Sun Jia counts the money until she is soft, and laughs in her dreams.

Sun Dan didn't think it was a big deal, because there was still an astronomical amount of income waiting for him.

On the first day of February, there was a bad news about Ping's money notes: Shanxi merchants were detained by Jinyiwei because they found a large amount of cowhide and pig iron in the convoy back to Beijing to purchase goods in Shanxi.Cowhide and pig iron are the main raw materials for the manufacture of ordnance, and have always been exclusively provided by the government.This law was established when Zhu Yuanzhang founded the country. At that time, the Ming Empire was still very poor and weak, and the management of military supplies was extremely strict.Of course, now that the country is peaceful and the country is prosperous and strong, no one cares about the daily sales of cowhide and pig iron by merchants.

But no one cares doesn't mean it's not illegal.

Obviously, Sun Dan instructed Zhu Huan to do this matter.

The convoy was impounded, and Ping's Bank loaned a large amount of money to Shanxi merchants.Therefore, in the short term, Ping's Bank does not see the possibility of returning funds.

The last straw that broke the camel's back was gently placed on the scales.

Ping's banknote finally turned into a piece of waste paper.
