Zhengyang Street, the outer city of Beijing.

Just after the end of the day, Zhengyang Street has been full of countless people, the street is full of people and noisy, compared to the Beijing Lantern Festival.

Many people pointed to a building on the right side of Zhengyang Avenue and pointed at it, and even scolded and scolded with righteous indignation.

"It's only been a few days of peace, and the court has started to mess around again, and even forced me to exchange the silver money in my hand for paper money, paper money is paper, dare to ask you, the court said that in the future, I will take this paper to buy things, do you believe it? I don't believe it anyway! ”

A man with a big waist and a round waist said angrily with a look of anger in his throat, he was covered in oil, and it seemed that he was going to work in a workshop, if it weren't for the soldiers in front of him, he would have a good look of going up and smashing it.

"I don't believe it either!" An old man with a flat shoulder took over the conversation and said, "I don't know if you have heard of the treasure banknote?" The old man also heard from his predecessors that when the imperial court issued treasure money, the people exchanged all the silver money in their hands for treasure money.

But guess what happened? That treasure money, it's not as expensive as the butt paper, and you have to pull the car to buy a bucket of rice! After saying that, the old man stroked his beard, with an expression that saw through everything.

"Uncle, why? Won't we just leave with a bucket of rice? Another voice came from the crowd.

"Humph! You can certainly carry a bucket of rice, but can you still be so easy with eighty catties of treasure money? The old man showed great desire, he seemed to have not been noticed by so many people for a long time, and when he saw that everyone was looking at him, the old man said:

"I can tell everyone, the silver in our hands is not easy to come by, it is all obtained by our hard work and farming, but we can't jump into the fire pit of this court! We have to unite, as long as we twist into a rope, the old man doesn't believe that the court can arrest us all! The old man's tone was even more high-pitched.

He didn't expect that he could have such a domineering spirit, and when the words just fell, he suddenly found that he had the talent to lead, and he sighed that he was not born in Shaanxi, otherwise Li Zicheng would have to stand aside.

More and more people gathered on Zhengyang Street, and they were encouraged by the old man like this, and everyone was like being beaten with chicken blood, and the atmosphere suddenly became extremely tense, and the sudden civil uprising was about to break out.

Cheng Yuan, the ambassador of the Beijing branch of the Ming Imperial Bank, frowned and almost wrinkled, more than half a month ago, he was just the shopkeeper of the Fuming Money Village in the capital shop under Xishan Shanghe, and he was suddenly requisitioned by the imperial court if he did a good job.

And he, the treasurer of the Beijing branch of Fuming Qianzhuang, has become the ambassador of the Beijing branch of the Ming Imperial Bank, and he is eight products!

Cheng Yuan's wife Xiao Xiao didn't sleep well all night when she heard the news, but only Cheng Yuan knew that this matter was not so simple, how big the identity and how much responsibility it beared, this truth is understood by everyone.

Fuming Money Village is an industry that His Royal Highness King Qin began to lay out more than two years ago, and now it has been incorporated into the imperial court, and His Royal Highness King Qin must have had this plan, and it is likely that His Royal Highness King Qin made up his mind to issue banknotes more than two years ago.

Such a big thing suddenly pressed on his head, and it was his duty to do it well, after all, he became an official of the court from the shopkeeper, can't this be done? If His Royal Highness King Qin's efforts for more than two years were ruined because of him, the consequences would ......

Cheng Yuan's back chilled when he thought about it!

"Shopkeeper, oh no, Master Cheng! There are more and more people gathered outside the store, but no one came to redeem the banknotes, they seem to want to make trouble, do you want to ask the people of the Soldiers and Horses Division to catch a few chickens and monkeys? A younger fellow trotted over.

"Nonsense! Hurry up and go to the headquarters yamen to invite Lord Shi! Let's just say that the situation is about to get out of hand! Cheng Yuan said with a frown.

Cheng Yuan got permission last night, but if someone dared to trespass into the branch, he could directly ask the officers and soldiers of the Soldiers and Horses Division to arrest him, but Cheng Yuan's intuition told him that once he really arrested the people without permission, things would only get worse.

"Boycott banknotes! Oppose the exchange of silver coins! ”

"Boycott banknotes! Oppose the exchange of silver coins! ”

……

Under the contagious impetus of the old man, the gathered people began to shout slogans in unison, the old man's flat shoulder had long been hung aside, the bamboo feathers on his head were gone, and the pale hair danced in the wind.

After the plague and war a few years ago, there are still at least 800,000 people in Beijing today, and early this morning, the notices of the imperial court issuing banknotes were plastered all over the streets and alleys of the capital, and in just over an hour, Zhengyang Street gathered at least 80,000 people, and a larger flow of people is still gathering here.

The voices of tens of thousands of people made Cheng Yuan, the branch ambassador who tried to explain to the people, feel like a drop in the ocean.

"It's over! Finished! Cheng Yuan's expression at the moment was more ugly than crying.

He is just an ordinary money dealer shopkeeper, in the past few years of working in Xishan Shanghe, after several trainings, has been conscientious and diligent, so that he can settle accounts, dispose of the size of the money village never sloppy, but, for this kind of occasion, he deeply felt a sense of powerlessness.

"Silence! Quiet! His Royal Highness the King of Qin has arrived! Idle people wait and dodge! ”

At this moment, a convoy suddenly came to the street leading from Zhengyang Avenue to the inner city, all of which were freight carriages, led by dozens of guards with guns, and many soldiers on both sides of the carriage.

The bull hammer carried a large earthen horn in his hand, and with his roar, the crowd naturally flashed a path to both sides, and the awe of power was deeply engraved in the hearts of all the people.

When the convoy arrived at the door of the branch, Liu Hong gradually lifted the curtain and walked out of the horse, and Cheng Yuan suddenly collapsed in the crowd as if relieved.

"His Royal Highness King Qin is a thousand years old!" The old man, who had just encouraged the people to boycott the banknotes, suddenly turned red, and after yelling, he fell to his knees first.

The people outside the capital may not have seen the King of Qin, but in the capital, there are still many people who have seen Liu Hong's true face, and it is obvious that this old man has seen it.

In fact, this old man has not only seen, but also received Liu Hongji's great favor, if it weren't for Liu Hongji, he would have frozen to death as early as that cold winter five years ago.

The old man knelt on the ground out of awe of the royal power, and secondly, he was grateful, and at the same time, the old man believed that His Royal Highness the King of Qin had done so many good things for the people, and now that the court wanted to cheat them out of their money, His Royal Highness the King of Qin would definitely not sit idly by.

"His Royal Highness King Qin is a thousand years old! Please make your decisions for us! ”

"His Royal Highness King Qin is a thousand years old! Please make your decisions for us! ”

As soon as the old man's words fell, countless people on Zhengyang Street spontaneously prostrate on the ground, and gradually paid the highest courtesy to Liu Hong, who brought them a stable life.
