Crown Prince of the Empire, I quit!

Emperor Qian's expression changed drastically. Wang Bao wiped the sweat from his forehead and said:

"Your Majesty, Lord Sun has been captured by the people and severely injured."

"They have looted a lot of the imperial court's property and are now trying to break into the palace to rob... Do we need to send troops?"

So many people in the capital city gathered towards the palace. Looking at history books, this was an astonishing situation that had never happened before.

Even if he had to bear the blame, Emperor Qian had to quell this turmoil as soon as possible and not let the royal family be disgraced.

"send troops!"

Without any hesitation, Emperor Qian sent Wang Bao to gather the palace guards together.

As for himself, he put on his clothes and hurried towards the wall of the palace.

"Commander Lu, Commander Wang! Quickly gather the imperial guards and suppress the people outside the palace!"

Wang Bao rushed to the two generals, both of whom were commanders of the palace guards.

Although the situation was extremely urgent, the two commanders did not take any action.

Instead, he slowly pulled out a stack of bills from his sleeve and stared at Wang Bao with anger.

"Eunuch Wang, you've been with His Majesty for so long. Tell us the truth. Have these things really become waste paper?"

Wang Bao was speechless for a moment.

It wasn't just the people outside the palace who bought tickets.

Even those people in the palace were involved.

Now it’s all over, and we have to help Emperor Qian suppress those people.

They must be feeling very uncomfortable.

"This one……"

Wang Bao's face suddenly froze.

But at this time he did not dare to offend these two people, as so many people outside were still attacking the palace gate.

"We both heard the news in the palace early on and bought notes worth over seven thousand taels of silver. What should we do now?"

There was no other way, so Wang Bao had to temporarily delay them and said:

"Don't worry, the court will still exchange it for silver. You are all our own people in the palace. If all else fails, I will arrange for you to be among the first batch to be exchanged."

"Then it's a deal."

Although the two commanders were full of distrust, they had no other choice now.

Countless people have been trapped by Emperor Qian and have no choice but to believe it.

Soon, soldiers rushed out of the palace like a tide and began to disperse the people.

The angry people stood there and refused to leave.

He was still shouting loudly for the court to return the money.

"Where's His Majesty? Let him come out to see us!"

"Your Majesty said at the time that if you don't want to hold on to these bills, you can exchange them for silver at any time!"

"Yes, it's only been a few days, and the court took our money and disappeared?"

"You officers and soldiers, didn't you buy the bills? I don't believe you could help the evildoers like this! In the end, the bills in your hands will definitely be useless just like us!"

The people's complaints have nothing to do with these officers and soldiers.

However, the principle of "the lips and teeth are cold" that they talked about made the officers and soldiers present extremely hesitant.

Because among them, there were also many people who bought court bills.

The two sides were in a stalemate for a while.

Behind the city wall, Emperor Qian listened to the people's shouting with a grim face, and was extremely confused at the moment.

If he had money, he would not dare to make a penny more now. He would give it all to them, just hoping that the people would retreat.

But the reality is that the court has already spent more than 10 million taels of silver to fill all the previous holes.

Where will Emperor Qian get so much silver for them now?

Emperor Qian could only delay.

It doesn’t matter even if I get scolded to death.

This was his last resort.

"They're finished."

In the crowd in the distance, Qin Ming stood in the crowd and spoke softly.

Wan Shu turned her head and looked at Qin Ming with some admiration.

"Your Majesty, you are truly resourceful. Beichao will be dragged down by this account in the future."

Qin Ming has been in control here for many days and has invested a lot of money.

I thought that in the end, by forcibly suppressing the price of bills, the court would suffer a bloody collapse and lose some silver.

But in fact, the situation is not as troublesome as imagined.

Thanks to Wan Shu's assistance, they still made millions of taels in the end.

"If I had known that the officials in the court were so weak, I would not have fought them so loudly."

Qin Ming sighed slowly.

The two sides fought back and forth during the war. Daqian had more people and Qin Ming had stronger technology.

After a series of battles, they suffered heavy losses.

But after the economic strike plan is implemented, the effect it produces is much stronger than direct war.

Without spending a single soldier, you can still earn millions of silver.

This is enough for Qin Ming to fight against Yan Dynasty in the second half of the year.

"Get ready to leave. Even if the Northern Dynasty falls, it can't affect our progress."

Qin Ming spoke slowly, which surprised Wan Shu.

"Your Majesty, why are you leaving so quickly? Shouldn't we continue to use some tricks?"

"I'm in a hurry. I guess there's still a lot of things to do in Los Angeles."

After spending a long time with him, Wan Shu became very familiar with Qin Ming.

Looking at his expression, I felt that Qin Ming seemed to be worried about something.

Blinking her big watery eyes, she suddenly covered her mouth and chuckled:

"Your Majesty, are you worried that news of what happened in the capital will spread to Luo City and trigger a run on our city?"

Qin Ming raised his eyebrows and looked at Wan Shu with some approval.

"Yes, with this example, even if our factory is doing well, it's bound to make people worried. It would be bad if it causes a bank run."

"okay I know."

Soon, Qin Ming took Wan Shu away and left, and it took them half a month to finally return to Luocheng.

When Qin Ming just returned here, he did not go back to his residence directly, but found Chen Shimao.

"Teacher, you've heard about the Northern Dynasty, right?"

"Well, the recent run on the bank in the Northern Dynasty has caused panic among the people. Your Majesty was farsighted and made preparations in advance."

Chen Shimao sighed deeply.

Then he pulled Qin Ming into the room.

"The recent unrest among the people of the Northern Dynasty has caused many of the major families in our territory to sell off their notes."

"However, because you previously focused on suppressing bill prices and stabilizing the market, the price fluctuations of various bills are not too large now."

After hearing this, Qin Ming finally felt relieved.

"Teacher, please help promote our bills in the newspapers these days."

"That's no problem. I've been doing it recently."

Before Qin Ming returned, Chen Shimao had already arranged for people to lay out newspapers throughout the Central Plains.

In the news, they detailed how the bank run occurred in the Northern Dynasty.

And promised that all bills of the Southern Dynasty could be exchanged at any time.

Although this was to appease the people, it also invisibly increased the people's attention to this matter.

"Your Highness, you are finally back!"

"We have an accident here."

Just as the two were talking, Fang Qingyuan suddenly pushed the door open and walked in.

"What happened?"

Qin Ming looked at him in surprise.

Fang Qingyuan whispered:

"Northern Dynasty spies spread the rumor around Los Angeles that the bills were bad checks, and many people believed it."

"Thousands of people and several large families have gathered in Luo City, hoping to exchange their bills for silver!"
