Crown Prince of the Empire, I quit!
Chapter 350: Exploding Capital, Thousands of People Gather
"Let's spread the news and let the people see what kind of factory the court is building outside."
Qin Ming spoke slowly, Chang Baishan and Liu Yueli looked at each other and immediately said:
"no problem!"
On that day, Qin Ming's men sneaked into major restaurants and teahouses in the capital and began to spread the news that the imperial factories were of extremely poor quality.
In a teahouse in the capital, Chang Baishan was shouting at the top of his lungs, boasting in an exaggerated manner to several men he had just met.
"Have you heard? It seems the imperial factory is almost completed."
"So fast? Why does it feel a bit unreliable to me?"
The expression of one of the tall and thin men suddenly changed. His name was Chen Sanmu.
Chen Sanmu and the people present basically all bought bills from the imperial court.
Especially this tall and thin man, the bills in his hand were worth more than seventy taels of silver.
All of this money was handed over to the court in order to get some dividends in the coming year.
"It's unreliable. Their factory is very crudely built. Have you ever seen it?"
Chang Baishan's words quickly attracted the attention of many people around him.
Chen Sanmu also hurriedly said:
"Come to think of it, I've never actually been there. I just know the factory is very profitable."
"That's the King of Qin's factory. They have very skilled craftsmen and sufficient manpower. They control the markets of the Western Regions, Southeast Asia, and the Southern Barbarians. They are definitely making money."
"But the imperial court is different. They're using this money for a lot of talk but little action. Building a factory this way always makes people feel like something's amiss..."
Chang Baishan immediately waved his hand and corrected him, then began to fan the flames meaningfully.
Upon hearing these words, the people around them suddenly became impatient.
They are all people who have just bought a lot of bills.
Seeing Chang Baishan slandering the factory's bills.
One of the tea drinkers, Shi Dahai, said unhappily:
"No, what do you mean? Could it be that the imperial court will cheat us out of our money?"
Chen Sanmu also reacted and said quickly:
"That's right. The imperial court has such a huge fortune, there's no need to cheat us out of such a small amount of money."
"What qualifications do you have to say the court is wrong?"
Many people at the scene shared the same thoughts as them.
People have preconceived ideas, and no one wants to believe that the court is deceiving them.
So at this time, many people immediately criticized Changbaishan.
"Hey, what's the point of arguing with me?"
Chang Baishan waved his hand impatiently.
"Isn't that factory under construction right outside? It's only about ten miles away. Since you've invested so much money, you should definitely go and take a look!"
"After you see it yourself, won't you know whether I'm right or not?"
His words made everyone feel shocked and confused.
They were all common people in the capital, so they naturally knew the character of the officials in the court.
At this moment, Chang Baishan took out another three hundred taels of bill from his arms.
"Everyone, take care of yourself. I'm going to leave now. Here's a note for three hundred taels. If you want it, sell it to me at the market price. I can charge you twenty taels less, just to save you some money."
It was obvious that Chang Baishan was not only spreading news that was unfavorable to the bills.
He even took out all his belongings and prepared to run away.
Many tea drinkers present were hesitant.
"I can't afford all of them, so I'll buy the ten-liang ones."
Chen Sanmu gritted his teeth and pulled out thirty taels of silver from his sleeve.
Now the price of this bill has been tripled. A bill worth ten taels costs thirty taels, and there is still no market for it.
Chen Sanmu believed in the court.
That's His Majesty, how could he lie?
"I'll buy some too."
"Give me twenty taels of silver."
Chen Sanmu's actions inspired many people around him.
They all gathered towards Changbai Mountain, but at this time they were already alert.
Many people agreed to go to the factory after buying these bills to see what the factory built by the court looked like.
"What about you?"
At this time, Chang Baishan turned his head and looked at Shi Dahai, who had just scolded him the most fiercely.
It is said that this old man bought a note for fifty taels of silver.
Apart from Chen Sanmu, he was the one who bought the most among the people present.
He must have plenty of food left.
But now he was sitting quietly beside her, not daring to look at Chang Baishan.
"I...what should I buy? I don't want to buy anything. I have no money."
After Chang Baishan asked, Shi Dahai hesitated and refused to pay.
Just now, while drinking tea, he was still bragging about his family's bumper harvest this year.
Chang Baishan saw this and teased with a smile.
"He's quite cautious. No wonder he's been able to accumulate so much wealth."
He saw through Shi Dahai.
Unlike many others, this old guy is very quick to react.
After knowing the risk, he took the fifty-liang note in his hand and didn't buy more.
With this cautious attitude, he is actually a good investor.
"It's not that I don't want to buy it, I just don't have the money."
Shi Dahai still insisted on being optimistic about the court's bills and argued stubbornly.
Chang Baishan didn't argue with him anymore. He continued to sell all the bills in his hand and prepared to leave.
When he just stood up, Shi Dahai also stood up and said to himself:
"Oh, the land hasn't been plowed yet this year. One of the farmhands has left, so I'll go back and get busy."
As soon as he finished speaking, he said goodbye to everyone and ran out of the city as fast as he could.
Chang Baishan looked at the direction the other person was running, and after confirming that it was the direction of the factory, he raised the corners of his mouth and smiled.
Then he turned back to the inn, found the disguise artist arranged by Liu Yueli for him, and continued to promote his work in other places.
Scenes like his also happened in other places in the capital.
In the afternoon, many people had already gathered in the factory in the suburbs.
“Is this a factory?”
"I may not be very knowledgeable, but at least I've heard of what a factory is. This is so different from a factory."
"Does the imperial court treat us like fools? If we can get a shitty dividend after a year of operation, we'd be lucky if we didn't lose money!"
The crowd gathered in the dilapidated open space.
Looking at the few small wooden houses they had casually built here, they immediately started cursing.
Qin Ming and Wan Shu stood in the crowd and looked at everything in front of them, with the corners of their mouths slowly rising at this moment.
Facing the crowd, he suddenly shouted:
"Hurry and get rid of the imperial bills! Their value is about to plummet!"
His words were like a bomb, exploding in everyone's ears!
"Yes, yes!"
"Hurry up!!"
They moved as fast as rabbits, and everyone was running madly towards the market in the capital.
Now these small retail investors have reached a critical moment of life and death, and only by getting rid of them early can they avoid failure.
At this time, a strong wind began to blow in the capital.
