Chapter 1096: After the Storm
The imperial court money village in Shangjing suddenly began to exchange gold and silver again, and the exchange ratio of the officials was not as good as that of the Jiaozi of the Great Song Dynasty, but as long as it could be exchanged, the people would have the last hope, and they would not go to a dead end, after all, no one wanted to risk their lives to make a last stand.
There were originally eight money houses in Shangjing City, and there were seven money houses in addition to the total number of the money houses that were destroyed, and they played the pretense cards almost at dawn, and the big money characters on them almost became the focus of people's hearts.
Nothing thrilled the people more than seeing the appearance of the banners.
But in the same way, the defenders of the city all appeared in the vicinity of Qianzhuang, and all of them stood solemnly and stubbornly, staring closely at the people in front of them, and as soon as there were loud noisers and dissatisfied insulters, they rushed into the crowd and arrested them at the first time.
As long as you can exchange the officials in your hands for money, no one will care about this kind of thing, keep your mouth shut tightly, hold the officials in your hands tightly, and move forward step by step.
The speed of exchange is very slow, a quarter of an hour, or even a quarter of an hour to redeem a person, but as long as it can be exchanged, no one will say anything.
"The imperial court has opened a new money bank in the leather goods street, and there are few people there!"
I don't know who shouted, and the people behind the line rushed to the leather street as fast as possible, everyone wanted to exchange the officials in their hands for money as soon as possible, and the panic psychology prompted them to take what they thought was the most rational action.
With the appearance of the money village in the leather goods street, several money houses appeared in the capital city one after another, and began to exchange officials with the people in a steady stream, so that more and more people were smiling, and at the same time, the palace tent army in the palace began to act..................
They searched for the people who attacked the money bank that day, and they said that all participants, whether they stepped into the money bank or not, would be detained!
This is remarkable, but many people participated, they thought that the law was not to blame the public, but they didn't expect the emperor to be angry with thunder, and he didn't plan to turn the page, someone must have done it when the money village was destroyed, but who can find out?
The palace tent army can!
They teamed up with but survived the officials and men of the money bank, searched from house to house in the city, and once they found the person whose name appeared in the account books of the money bank, they were immediately detained, and once they found that this person was familiar, they were immediately detained, and in front of the court, it was useless to reason.
What's more, the imperial court even issued a document that anyone who could testify that their neighbors were participants would be rewarded, and some of them had a bad idea and immediately testified that their neighbors, friends, or even relatives were participants, and they were immediately pardoned, and there was also the benefit of a reward.
What is Shangjing?
Although the population here is not as large as that of Tokyo and Beijing in the Great Song Dynasty, it is 600,000 people! Originally, there were not so many people, but the Liao people found that once the population was concentrated, the economy could grow by leaps and bounds, and the growth of the economy also led to the growth of tax revenue, which was learned from the Great Song Dynasty.
Tens of thousands of people were arrested and put in prisons, there are certainly not so many prisons in Shangjing, the only way is to be imprisoned in the open-air camp outside the city, connected by ropes, in this cold season, people die every day, but the court just does not let go, obviously this is to kill chickens and monkeys.
"People always have to pay for what they have done, Your Majesty, although there are innocent among these people, most of them are guilty, if you want to completely cut off the tragedy of the impact on the money bank in the future, it is nothing to die now."
Yelu Hongji stood on the city wall and looked at the crowd, and in this moment, he had already seen many people falling, and if he did not treat them in time, he would definitely never wake up again.
Glancing at the calm and intimidating Zhang Jian, Yelu Hongji slowly spoke: "Why was the business I transferred to be included in the treasury by you as soon as it arrived in Shangjing, these money are the continuation of my Da Liao for several generations, and it can even be traced back to the Khitan Eight Divisions!" ”
"Your Majesty, if you don't have this money, you can't fill the hole in the money bank, although the minister fills the secret treasure into the treasury, but there is no shortage of money, and the minister does not use the money from the treasury to fill the hole in the money bank."
Zhang Jian's words surprised Yelu Hongji, how did he fill the hole without that money bank?
Chen Bohan hurriedly explained: "Your Majesty, the people had no confidence in the court and officials before, as long as they picked up their confidence, the officials would still be officials, and they could still buy and sell things......
Yelu Hongji suddenly realized, it was difficult for Zhang Jian to say that he didn't use a penny from the treasury, it turned out that he had been acting for so many days, but it was not right! He really transported the secret wealth of the Khitan Eight Divisions to Shangjing!
Zhang Jian seemed to see through Yelu Hongji's thoughts, and said firmly: "Your Majesty, now that my Daliao is on the cusp, there will be a danger of turmoil in the country if I am not careful!" The Great Song Dynasty built a side wall, bounded by high walls, and reopened the rule of the Han and Tang Dynasties. ”
Yelu Hongji was stunned by Zhang Jian's words, and then said: "So the Great Song Dynasty built the Great Wall for the Northern Expedition?!" ”
Zhang Jian nodded slightly: "It is very likely that the minister has already observed the methods of the Great Song Emperor in detail, before every war to destroy the country, there must be changes in the Great Song Dynasty, at first glance, these changes are not much related to the war, but once the Great Song Dynasty makes a move, these banes that were bought early will begin to play a role!" ”
Yelu Hongji suddenly looked at Zhang Jian: "The queen mother also warned me like this, now the construction of the border wall in the Great Song Dynasty is a change, and the sudden appearance of my Da Liao to rob the officials is also a change!" Isn't it that the Great Song Dynasty is going to carry out the Northern Expedition?! ”
Zhang Jian nodded slightly, turned his head to Chen Bohan and said: "You must keep an eye on the affairs of Qianzhuang, if there is another robbery, this time the gap will be blocked with the money of the imperial court, and at the same time, the imperial court will not print new officials, just in case." ”
Yelu Hongji nodded slightly and agreed to Zhang Jian's request, this robbery incident really startled him, he thought that the tens of millions of Jiaozi that he secretly printed was nothing, but who knew that when he saw the incident in the east window so soon, he thought about it and was still a ghost of the Song businessman.
If they didn't exchange it, if they didn't shout "the Liao Dynasty has no faith" outside the money village, this kind of thing wouldn't have happened.
Yelu Hongji's eyes flashed with anger, and he turned to Zhang Jian and said, "Do you want to let those Song people go?" It was they who provoked the turmoil in my upper capital, and it was they who shouted at the gate of Qianzhuang that the Liao Dynasty had no faith! ”
Zhang Jian smiled bitterly and shook his head: "These are Song businessmen, since they dare to do this, I am afraid that they have already made complete preparations, and now it is easy to kill them, and it is not difficult to catch them, but once this is the case, it is to give people a handle, and the Great Song Dynasty will not give up!" ”
Yelu Hongji also knew this, the protection of Shangjia in the Great Song Dynasty was no worse than the protection of the embassy, forget it, forget it............
