How could Liu Chun hook up with the salt merchants, it is not complicated to say it, the salt merchants need to use the Grand Canal to send grain to the nine sides, and they need to use the Grand Canal to transport materials from Daning to the south of the Yangtze River, and they are inseparable from the Grand Canal.

Liu Chun pushed for the establishment of a branch of the Royal Bank in Peiping, and naturally hoped to include merchants along the way.

And the salt merchants in Yangzhou are the most powerful group of people, and there is no reason to miss it.

But Liu Chun persuaded him several times, but it was not smooth.

At first, Liu Chun thought that they were worried about the security of the Royal Bank, but it was not until he came to Suzhou that he realized that the salt merchants had a more secure option.

In this era, if you can not deal with the imperial court, you should not deal with the imperial court. The emperor is synonymous with hooliganism. At least in the eyes of the gentry and businessmen, Zhu Yuanzhang is this bad image, and there is no way.

"The salt merchant is cautious and intelligent, but he is blind and selfish. They only saw the disadvantages of the imperial court, but they didn't see it, if it wasn't for the protection of the imperial court, if it wasn't for the hundreds of thousands of people who maintained the Cao Canal every year, how could they get rich? ”

Liu Chun hit Suzhou Qianzhuang, also for those salt merchants.

Although the Royal Bank is not good in a thousand ways, it is endorsed by the emperor and is as stable as Mount Tai. No matter how good Suzhou Qianzhuang is, it is just a castle in the desert, vulnerable to the blows of the imperial court.

Many things are not a choice between good and bad, but the lesser of two evils, through the Royal Bank, of course, some property situations will be exposed. But in any case, it is better than depreciating by 20% in one day!

"Liu Chun, a salt merchant from Yangzhou, was arranged by Li Qi to go to Huilan Courtyard and has already lived." Xu Zengshou dragged his tired body and reported the situation to Liu Chun.

It's only been a few days, and Xu Sigongzi has already lost a lot of weight. The black panda eyes and cheeks are all retracted.

"You're in good spirits, it's almost time to harvest, what's there to worry about?"

Xu Zengshou suddenly stared at his red eyes and said angrily to Liu Chun: "You remember, next time Lao Tzu will definitely not do things with you!" I'm tired! Tired! ”

Liu Chun just tilted his head and rewarded Xu Zengshou with a big look.

"Look at you, a man, it's better to have the courage of Ling Mei!"

Do you dare to mention my sister to me?

What a good child, you have been brought bad!

How much money is being smashed these days?

The 1 million taels prepared by Liu Chun are gone, the 800,000 taels transferred by the Xu family are gone, and the 300,000 taels of silver deposited in Suzhou Mansion are gone...... Xu Zengshou also borrowed a lot of money one after another, and the Lan family also gave a lot, all of which added up, almost three million.

If they really lose it, even if they don't die, these families will have to drink the northwest wind, and the creditors will break through the threshold and never think about living in peace.

Finally the salt merchant came, I thought it would be crushed with one blow, but I didn't expect Li Qi to be able to hold on, how could Xu Zengshou not be afraid.

"I don't want to talk nonsense with you anymore, what the hell should I do?"

Liu Chun smiled, "How many banknotes do we have in our hands now?" ”

"Less than half a million."

"Okay, throw it all tomorrow, don't leave any of it!" Liu Chun added: "Just sell at 6% off the market price!" ”

"Crazy!"

Xu Zengshou felt that apart from these two words, there was nothing to describe Liu Chun.

"Don't you even keep a little money?"

"What's the difference between staying and not staying? If you can borrow it, it's better to borrow more! ”

Xu Zengshou is too lazy to listen, no matter what, tomorrow is the last day, success or failure is here, no matter what, he doesn't have to be tortured.

It's a big deal to go to Yunnan and take refuge in Mu Ying. I heard that the scenery over there is good, and the girl is beautiful...... If you don't believe it, can the creditor still go to Yunnan to find him?

Xu Zengshou was ready to escape.

Liu Chun is much calmer than him, what are you running, and Your Majesty and the prince are here! Play according to the rules, if you can win, you can win, if you can't win, let Lao Zhu make a move and smash the table.

In the financial fight, in the end, it is necessary to compete for real strength, and whoever is more shameless will have the last laugh. Liu Chun didn't detain Li Qi's daughter, which was already considered merciful.

After a night, the sun rose again, and the rare warm winter sun was sprinkled on people's bodies, but people didn't feel the warmth at all, and their hearts were even colder.

In particular, there was a rush of people in many shops, waving the paper money in their hands, frantically buying everything, silk cloth, even mules, horses and livestock, almost no one bargained, they seemed to think that the paper money burned their hands, and they wanted to spend it immediately.

Some shops deliberately raised the price, but they didn't even blink their eyes.

The shopkeeper who got the banknote began to hesitate.

They know about the run on Suzhou Qianzhuang, but these days, people keep telling them that Suzhou businessmen, with the same spirit, must believe in the strength of Qianzhuang, and the crisis is temporary and will pass soon.

Shops, large and small, are hesitating and hesitating, unable to make up their minds.

It's just that today's situation makes them feel panicked, maybe the real paper money is going to collapse.

The owner of a teahouse closed early, and rushed to the money bank with the paper money in his hand. Along the way, he kept encountering more and more people who were going to run on the exchange, like a snowball.

When I arrived outside the bank, it was like an avalanche hit.

At first, it was mainly ordinary people, and then, some middle- and upper-class businessmen joined it, and this time it was middle- and lower-class businessmen, small bosses, who were richer than ordinary people, and did not have the power of big businessmen.

The power of Suzhou Qianzhuang did not dare to challenge.

But today, I don't care about anything.

They waved the banknotes in their hands and demanded that they be exchanged immediately!

The shouts were like thunder.

"Pony, is this what you mean by human hearts?"

In the face of the salt merchant's questioning, Li Qi's face turned red, and yesterday he almost knelt down to pray, and the salt merchant agreed to wait for one night. Li Qi went all out at night to collect banknotes from several merchants at a high price, and he didn't believe that someone could keep selling at a loss.

As long as you can hold on to the past few days, things will be reversed, the other party has a day, but Suzhou Qianzhuang occupies a favorable location, and after a long time, people will also stand on their side, after all, Suzhou is in chaos, it is not good for anyone, and only Suzhou Qianzhuang can clean up the mess.

Li Qi also got the news that since he talked to Huang Zicheng, Huang Zicheng couldn't get sick.

The one who continues to fight with himself should be the person sent by the East Palace, as long as he holds on and lets him touch his nose, maybe Huang Zicheng will help dredge it, so that the crown prince Zhu Biao can see the strength of the Li family, and he will know how to choose.

It's just that Li Qi didn't expect that a new situation would appear.

What to do, the salt merchant is here to watch!

"Redeem, give them cash! Double the counter, come as much as you want, exchange as much as you want! Suzhou Qianzhuang, can't be defeated! ”

Li Qi made a statement with red eyes.

Almost at the same time, Liu Chun gave Xu Zengshou a thumbs up.

"Okay, I didn't sell it directly, I actually mobilized people to grab shopping materials everywhere, the fourth son, your ability has risen!"

Xu Zengshou snorted: "Don't underestimate people too much, I've been watching it for so long, and I understand your tricks, it's nothing more than creating chaos and stirring people's hearts!" ”

Xu Zengshou finally struck the final blow, which became the straw that broke the camel's back.

Although Li Qi tried his best, there were too many people who came, and the ones they wanted to exchange were generally between a few hundred guan and a thousand guan, when they left with a carriage pulling the box, all the people who saw it were terrified, and so much money was withdrawn, wouldn't Suzhou Qianzhuang be empty?

More and more people have joined the ranks of the run, this time, including the wealthy businessmen in Suzhou, they will not hesitate, what is the same spirit, and the husband and wife are still flying separately!

There is no need to die with Suzhou Qianzhuang!

By the afternoon, Suzhou Money Village had already been exchanged for one million taels!

That's almost the amount of the last three days!

Li Qi still wanted to hold on, but there was no way, he could only reduce the cabinet room by half.

From doubling, to halving, what will be the consequences, and is there any nonsense?

The crowd of people has multiplied, and gossip has filled the city of Suzhou.

The salt merchants couldn't sit still, they hesitated for a day and the situation was so terrible, and if they waited any longer, their money would be completely exhausted.

That night, the last stock of the Bank of Suzhou was taken away by the salt merchants.

What awaits everyone tomorrow is a money bank with nothing.

It's over!

Li Qi knew that it was completely irreparable.

But that's fine, he left a trouble for Zhu Yuanzhang to clean up.

Father-in-law, my son-in-law has to go!

Li Qi left Suzhou overnight and went straight to Liujiagang, where there was a fastest ship that could take him to the Wa Kingdom for refuge. At the same time as he fled, there were flying pigeons to send a letter to Fengyang, and Li Shanchang would also run to the Wa Kingdom together according to the agreed route.

is an old father in his seventies, I hope he can live to the Japanese country, and the father and son can be reunited!

Li Qi was cranky along the way, his horse was fast, and he was surrounded by henchmen for many years, and he was the most reliable. They made their way to the port, and sure enough, there was a ship with two strings of lanterns, three on each string.

"This is it! Embarkation! ”

Li Qi didn't notice that there was an old man in tattered clothes sitting at the bow of the boat, and under the old man's buttocks, there was an almost bald dog skin roll, and he was sneering......
