The Prodigal Son’s Happy Life - Chapter 472

[Chapter 472 Bank]

The court is going to war!

I don’t know when this news spread throughout the streets.

At first, it was just a discussion among some men drinking in a restaurant, but within a few days, it became a discussion among women and children chatting on the street.

Women worry that if the war breaks out, their men will be warned to go to the battlefield, or the price of rice and noodles will soar, leaving their family hungry.

All of them looked worried.

The children seemed very excited, especially the boys, who always liked to get together to fly kites.

However, now he likes to break a dead tree, pretend to be a general and a soldier, and fight on the battlefield.

However, what they don’t know is that in the real battlefield, with ‘dead wood’ chopped down on their bodies, they close their eyes and may never be able to open them again for the rest of their lives.

Regardless, the war has indeed begun.

Whether they were worried, sad, excited, or excited, the relationship between the imperial court, the Qiyan tribe, and the Mu rebels had reached an irreconcilable point.

The day before, they had heard that the imperial court’s 200,000 soldiers and horses had arrived in the four northern states. They also

heard that General Dingyuan, who had marched to the southwest on horseback, had led 100,000 elite troops southward to destroy the troops he had marched on. Take the road again.

Some people believe this news, while others naturally despise it.

Especially some businessmen who think that their vision is far beyond that of ordinary people.

In their eyes, it was impossible for the imperial court to gather 300,000 troops in a short period of time.

Unless all the sixteen guards of the capital leave the capital, they know that this is impossible.

If the imperial court really sent 200,000 troops to the four northern continents, there would be no troops to go south to stop the Mu rebels.

The imperial court originally only had so many soldiers and horses, and they did not recruit new soldiers. They could still make up for this debt.

Therefore

, no one can say what the final outcome of this war will be.

The only thing that can be certain is that in the current situation, the imperial court is definitely not at an advantage, and is even more at a disadvantage.

These merchants see clearly than anyone else that troubled times are about to arise, and the most important thing is real money!

No matter whether the Mu family wins or the court wins, money remains the same hard currency.

Even if the Qiyan tribe really hits the capital, the worst they can do is take the silver and go to the southwest.

If that doesn’t work, go west. I heard that crossing the Gobi is another world.

Having lived here for most of my life, changing places may not be a bad thing.

All in all, as long as you have money in hand, where can you go in the world?

But

most merchants don’t have cash in their hands.

Most of their money is stored in banks.

It’s not that they don’t want to keep the cash in their hands.

It is really too inconvenient to trade cash.

Especially for merchants like them, sometimes a transaction can easily cost tens of thousands of taels.

If they all use cash, I’m afraid it will take a lot of time to transport them back and forth.

The most important thing is that you may be robbed by horse bandits on the road. It is like a banknote. It is convenient to carry it anywhere in your pocket, and it is not easy to be exposed.

Even if a beggar has ten thousand taels of silver in his pocket, no one will know it as long as he doesn’t want to show it.

Moreover, these banks have all signed and pledged money with the government, so there is no chance that they will not be able to cash out their money.

At least that’s how it used to be.

Therefore, most, or to be precise, almost all merchants prefer to use silver notes for transactions.

However, it is different now.

While the war was going on, the imperial court had too much time to take care of itself, so it had no time to protect those banks.

If the bank is occupied by the rebels, won’t all your money become other people’s money?

For these merchants, robbing them of their money is more uncomfortable than killing them.

How could such a thing be allowed to happen.

Therefore, after learning from friends that the imperial court had indeed used troops against the Mu family and the Qiyan tribe, all the major banks in the capital were crowded with people, all of whom were merchants who wanted to convert their banknotes into cash.

As the largest bank in the capital, Baolefang is naturally the same.

“Don’t crowd, don’t crowd, there is no cash here, it’s useless even if you block here!”

At this moment, the guys in Baolefang looked at the crowd crowded together in front of them, all showing tired expressions, and shouted loudly shouted.

“What does it mean to have no cash? When I first deposited the silver, I made it clear that whenever I wanted to withdraw it, I could withdraw it within a day. But now I say there is no cash. Is this how you, Baolefang, bully our people? ! ”

“That’s right, there’s no cash, I think you clearly want to steal our money!”

It’s noisy outside, and it’s the same inside Baolefang.

“Brother, if this continues, those people will have to demolish our Baolefang. You should think of a way!”

“Think of a solution? What solution can you come up with?”

Wang Baole frowned, glared at his brother, and said coldly: “Aren’t you smart? How about you come up with a good solution for me?”

Wang Baole’s brother His younger brother’s name is Wang Fugui, and when Wang Baole is not around, he is in charge.

Ever since he was scolded by his elder brother in front of the young master Fang Mansion four or five months ago.

It was like he had an enlightenment, learning how to do business from his brother’s side.

In four or five months, I have learned a lot. Although I have not yet reached the point where I can stand alone, I am much better than before.

At this moment, when he heard his brother’s words, he showed hesitation on his face. After thinking about it, he said, “Brother, I do have a way, but I don’t know whether you agree or not.”

Wang Baole was startled when he heard this. After a moment, he looked back at him and asked, “What can we do?”

Wang Fugui thought for a moment and said in a low voice, “Brother, our Baolefang is not Mr. Fang.”

Before he could finish speaking, he heard Wang Baole say: “You mean, let’s put this matter on Young Master Fang and let Young Master Fang take over this matter for us?” When

Wang Fugui heard this, he smiled and said, “Brother, think about it. , there are a few people in the capital who don’t know that the Fang Mansion is behind our Baolefang, so

we insist that all the cash in our Baolefang has been lent by the young master, so that they can go if they need anything. Fang Mansion.

How prestigious the young master is in the capital. No matter how courageous these people are, would they dare to go to the Fang Mansion? Even if they are really brave, what can they do against the young master

when the time comes

?

As time goes on, the money from our various industries can be sent to the capital, and this matter is settled.

The young master has no loss, and our Baolefang has no loss. Those merchants may receive a few beatings, but in the end there is no loss. .Brother

, if you think about it carefully, this is a good way to have the best of all three!”
