C1405 Coercion, profit and temptation (1/2)

The Prime Minister knows that Jiang Nan has been deeply affected by the Southern Ticket Crisis. He has been through a lot and has lived a long time, so he couldn't bear it anymore. He wanted me to take a look at it and then discuss it with everyone to see if we need the Prime Minister's help. ”

”Of course! ”I really need it too much …” All the merchants present were so touched that they were about to cry out loud, ”Oh His Excellency the Special Envoy! ”You don't know how poor the money is in Suzhou right now. 90% of the shops and workshops are in a state of stoppage and half stoppage …”

”Without money to buy raw materials, without money to pay for them, the commoners would not dare to spend money if they can't earn it. From upstream to downstream, all the industries are immobilized because of the lack of money!”

”There's no need to talk about other things. We've been on credit every day. We've always traded on white paper. Since we didn't have enough money and the bank notes have disappeared, we have no way …”

”White bars are not useful at all, after all these years of being friends in the business world and borrowing money from each other, even if we don't beat them up it's still the same. As for those small businesses and ordinary people, even if we want to help them, we don't dare to.

”That's right!” It's not that small business people do not keep their promises, it's just that they find it difficult. Money is too little, and their ability to resist risks is weak.

”We still need to solve the problem at the root. There is a lot of money that can flow in the market, allowing big guys to easily get their hands on the money. Only then will we be able to prosper …”

The crowd chattered back and forth. They were all top businessmen, and their experience was not worse than Western Merchant's. The crisis in Jiangnan had let them hit the nail on the head all of a sudden.

Liu Chouchu smiled as he listened to everyone's grumbling and complained, and when his voice gradually grew softer, he sighed and said, ”I already understand the meaning of everyone, the world is in need of money! Do you need the bank to put water out? ”

”That's right, that's right!” ”Mr. Hesitation is right!”

”But …” Liu Chouchu changed his tone, ”But if you want to save Su Province, if you want to save Jiang Nan, you will need a billion, or even billions. I think that without 200 million, you cannot save a single Su Province!”

”If such a large sum of money is released, all of Jiangnan's economy would be controlled by the south bank …” What if someone said that the Prime Minister had ulterior motives, or that the Prime Minister had plotted something long ago … Am I not a sinner? ”

With just one sentence, Wang Liuyi's words stupefied everyone present. Taking advantage of the situation, he struck the iron while it was hot. After all, the prime minister was the prime minister of the Chinese nation, and this Jiang Nan was the Jiang Nan of the Qing Dynasty! In the past, when the Prime Minister issued his southern ticket, he did so to provide convenience for his own Chinese merchants, and did not think that he would be able to pass it to them in the past. Wasn't it because we had a lot of business dealings with the Ryukyu, do we think that it was convenient for us to accept the southern ticket? ”

”But just because we're so convenient, the imperial government is deeply fearful of the prime minister, and even has a serious conflict! It was also because of this that the difference between a North Ticket and a southern ticket appeared … Everyone, you have to remember that the Prime Minister didn't come to Jiangnan to issue notes on his own initiative! ”It was our merchants in Jiangnan who volunteered to use paper money out of greed for the convenience of paper money transactions …”

Wang Liuyi was indeed a merchant who came from a brokerage family. It was very relieving for him to leave some things to this kind of people, he understood the spirit of Liu Chouchu's meetings very well.

In the end, Wang Liuyi just said it like that. South note paper money is not the Prime Minister's scheme, the Prime Minister gave it to the merchants of Ryukyu to use from the very beginning, and it was us, the merchants of Jiangnan, who started to amass funds for the sake of convenience, and brought it to Jiangnan.
