C1186 Feast of Bloody Wealth (1/2)
The impact of the economic crisis on society was undoubtedly huge. Ordinary citizens were only concerned with food and wine, nothing more than a little bit of life in front of them. They couldn't see too far nor did they want to see too far.
Although everyone admired the Prime Minister Xiao of the East China Sea quite a bit, they couldn't compare to the difficulty of life.
What would she think when she saw the notice written in the soy sauce shop, ”Will you accept the south ticket and only accept the silver?” How could he be angry when the same goods in the tea shop, current silver and paper money were two times more expensive than each other?
When the paper money was earned, it was at the price of one silver coin. However, when it was spent, it was only used as half of the silver coin. Half of the wealth was instantly devoured.
Letian Firm and all the shops there were under attack by the angry citizens. The rotten eggs got hit a lot, and in the end the bank employees did not dare to go out anymore. They did not even open their doors in broad daylight.
The high ranked officers of the Xiang Army and the officials of the Qing Dynasty also had a lot of money in their hands. They did not care about Xiao Letian's rules, and directly went to the head storekeeper of the Jiangnan branch to request for exchange.
If you do not exchange for it, the government will not provide any protection for you.
Although there were Ceng Guofan, Hu Xueyan and the others in the process, one or two people's power was insignificant, so it was impossible for them to interfere in the personal matters of their subordinates. Since they were exchanging their own Notes, no matter how strong the Great Marshal was, he could only give them a suggestion.
How could Xiao Letian make such an opening, the Letian Bank rejected such an unreasonable request, causing the conflict to intensify.
The government servants who were protecting the bank had all left. The angry citizens started to attack the bank, the Ryukyu headquarters had no choice but to close down all the branch numbers in Jiangnan to ensure the safety of the people's property.
”Letian Bank is closed! Our money is going to be wasted! Oh my god, you robbers... Xiao Letian, why don't you go and die! ”
Almost all the people in the entire southern part of the city were cursing Xiao Letian for dying. The purchasing power of the banknotes had crumbled yet again.
The more chaotic the Jiang-Nan was, the more excited the foreign Bankers s in Shanghai got. Bottles after bottles of expensive wine were opened, and the feast of wealth was opened to them.
”Come come come! Ladies and gentlemen! The huge Jiangnan economy is about to fall, and we're about to reach the harvest season! ”Cheers …”
”Xiao Letian still wants to save the market? Dream on, he issued 1.6 billion notes in Jiangnan, that was 1.6 billion silver coins! A silver coin weighed 30 grams, a hundred million silver coins was 3000 tons, and a hundred million silver coins was 48000 tons of pure white silver. Even if Xiao Letian sold himself, he wouldn't have that much money on hand! ”Cheers …”
”Thank you for this war, thank you for Xiao Letian's arrogance, it was precisely because of this war that you gave us this feast! I firmly believe that after Russian defeats Xiao Letian, the bill would eventually become a pile of scrap paper, and the silver that was snatched away by Xiao Letian wouldn't return to Jiangnan … ”
”At that time, Jiangnan will be like a giant who has lost all his blood. He will have countless valuable assets but no cash flow. At that time, the silver in our hands will be ready to strike! ”Cheers …”
”Hahaha …” When the time comes, we will only have to spend one silver coin to buy high-quality assets that we normally wouldn't be able to buy with ten silver coins. Ladies and gentlemen, ten times the profits will appear before our eyes! ”
