Crown Prince of the Empire, I quit!
Chapter 353: Going on a rampage, heading straight for the palace!
"Only small denomination bills are accepted. No large denomination bills."
Liu Yueli stood at the stall and spoke to the people who had been queuing overnight.
The common people did not react much, but the managers of some big families among them were extremely dissatisfied.
"Why don't you accept large denominations?"
"Are you looking down on us?"
After hearing their words, Liu Yueli did not give any explanation, but snorted coldly:
"We can close our stalls however we want. Is it your turn to manage them?"
In fact, the reason why they only accepted bills of small denominations was because Qin Ming wanted to take the people into consideration.
Even if a big family suffers some losses, it will not damage its foundation.
But some people put their lives and property in the hands of Emperor Qian.
Once you suffer a loss, or the bills rot in your hands.
The blow to them will be devastating.
Some ginseng spirits would not be able to survive because of this, and Qin Ming also wanted to do his best to help the people, so he did not harvest them.
Most of the harvesters were from large families, because they had the most money.
Soon, before dawn, Qin Ming collected all the bills in his hands.
This time he received bills worth more than two million taels.
However, there is no sign of a decrease in the bills in the market.
Some people who didn't get in line now have no chance to exchange their notes, so they can only sell them at a discount in the market again.
But as soon as they arrived at the market, everyone was dumbfounded.
Because Qin Ming had already converted the price of the bill to eight cents on behalf of someone here in advance!
"You must be joking! This is a note worth one or two taels of silver. We bought it with real money!"
"That's right, how can you get such a discount?"
Many people from big families rushed directly to Qin Ming's men with many guards.
They want to take over the market by force and violence.
At this moment, the guards from the court quickly rushed over.
"What are you doing?"
“They drove the note price down!”
At this time, many people were a little angry and blamed the subordinates that Qin Ming had assigned.
When faced with such accusations, they did not make any excuses.
"We can sell it for whatever price we want. Do you think this money can be exchanged now?"
"If I don't sell at a discount, will all of it be stuck in my hands? You'll have to help me cover the losses when the time comes."
What they said made sense, and at this time several guards reported the matter.
Soon the sheriff from the market arrived, and as soon as he arrived he did not hesitate to protect the interests of the court.
"You are affecting the market, you are not allowed to sell!"
"You're taking sides, huh?"
Several of Qin Ming's men were a little angry, but at this time Liu Yueli had already received Qin Ming's orders and was waiting by the side.
"I'll take seven qian of silver. Come anytime you want."
Liu Yueli said lightly:
"We'll charge seven cents, but we won't be driven away too, will we?"
The market’s sheriff has ways to deal with those who sell things for money.
But the other party has no way to do anything about the extremely rare bosses who still dare to purchase bills at this time.
Before the officials in the market could speak.
Many of the big families around who had been clamoring just now immediately rushed over.
"Do you accept all denominations?"
"Yes."
"Then we'll pay 70,000 taels first, and just give us 45,000."
Because the bills are of larger denominations, these big families are even willing to offer a larger discount and get rid of them quickly.
This left the officials in the market speechless.
Soon the price of bills in the market was directly raised to 50% of the original price.
One tael of silver can be exchanged for a bill worth two taels.
Some people have lost too much money and have gone straight to Sun Zhilin to queue up.
I want to exchange the bill at the original price.
What Qin Ming and his team did was to force these big families who bought the bills to go to the court and make trouble.
It's clear that their approach has worked.
This made Sun Zhilin very confused.
Emperor Qian didn't even show up today.
According to gossip, Emperor Qian secretly confiscated the property of more than a dozen officials last night.
All their family assets were contributed to the imperial court.
But even so, it is difficult to fill the huge financial gap of the court.
Unfortunately, the people in the capital were rioting.
Countless people gathered in front of the government office and shouted and cursed.
They scrambled to get them to exchange their money.
"Don't worry, everyone. The money from the court is coming soon."
In desperation, Sun Zhilin had to run among the crowd.
When he returned home last night, he was scolded badly because he couldn't exchange the money.
He had originally planned to rest at home today due to illness.
But Emperor Qian seemed to have guessed his thoughts long ago, and ordered the palace guards to drag him before the people to bear the blame.
Sun Zhilin was already a little scared.
He had a premonition that he would most likely be the first pawn to be abandoned in this incident.
"Fuck your mother's fart!"
"They said last night that the silver would be replenished today. We've been waiting here all morning. Where's the silver?"
"Change it for us quickly. The market price has dropped to five cents."
Someone in the crowd shouted first, which made all the people present even more panicked.
Some managers of large families even rely on their large numbers.
Hu Wei pushed the crowd away and continued to squeeze forward, and soon a bloody incident occurred at the scene.
"Stop quarreling, stop fighting, stop scolding..."
Sun Zhilin's voice seemed extremely small in the crowd, and no one listened to him at all.
Soon, the government gate was broken down.
The angry people rushed in and started beating and smashing things, and all the valuables were looted.
But they are still not satisfied.
Chang Baishan, who was mixed in the crowd and enjoying the fun, shouted at them:
"There's nothing valuable here. Let's go rob the palace!"
His portrait was like a spark that lit the fuse, and everyone present started yelling!
"Let the court pay compensation!"
"Let the court pay compensation!"
"Let the court pay compensation!"
……
The deafening roar almost reached the palace.
Listening to the commotion outside, Emperor Qian, who was sitting in the palace, was extremely upset.
Last night, no official was willing to pay the money, and Emperor Qian was furious and killed them all and confiscated their property.
But in the end, the amount of money collected was less than three million taels.
There is no need to think too much, this silver must have been plundered by countless officials at every stage.
There is nothing to check now!
But with these millions of taels, even if the silver in the national treasury was added, it was still not enough to compensate the people!
Just as Emperor Qian was thinking about how to solve this problem.
Wang Bao suddenly rushed into the hall.
"Oh no, Your Majesty! The people have already crowded into the palace gates and are demanding compensation from us!"
