    It was early in the morning, at Qianyuan Teahouse.

    The four-person group is always the first group of customers when the teahouse opens. The old man Zhou is getting old and doesn't feel it. The other three are also used to coming to the teahouse to have morning tea before going to work.

    There are steamed buns, spring rolls, wontons, steamed dumplings and two-rice porridge on the table, not to mention the excellent Tieguanyin.  When the four of them join forces, the morning tea is extraordinarily rich.  Chatting with friends while eating a delicious breakfast is really one of the great pleasures in life.

    ? This morning, it was a special session for Ma Liuye and shopkeeper Hou, because they had personally experienced yesterday's run-on trend, so they had many new and interesting things to share.

    However, other people's business is just a joke, and friends still care about their situation.

    Ma Liuye made a bold move, he didn't have any overnight wealth, and he had a deposit of one hundred and eighty taels in the bank, and he brought it home all at once yesterday, and he didn't have any other ideas.  Shopkeeper Hou is a miser. He has made a lot of money by reselling silk and cloth these years. Others estimate that he has a family property of several thousand taels.  The reason why I say estimated is because when he revealed his family's fortune yesterday, he flinched immediately, and actually only raised the money with Ma Liuye, and he didn't raise any money himself.

    "You have been waiting in line for three days for nothing?" Old man Zhou said with wide-eyed eyes.

    "The money is not in vain, brother." In front of his old friends who know everything, shopkeeper Hou told the truth: "I saw those little hooligans wandering on the street.  Whoever dares to take thousands of taels of silver from a small family will be patronized by them that night." He sighed and said, "After thinking about it, I still have a peaceful sleep in the bank."

    "In my opinion, this is the conspiracy of the bank." Chen Guanren sipped his tea and said, "They want the worry of the depositors to stabilize the situation. If any one is stolen because of this, it is their living advertisement, and they are naturally happy to see it."  become."

    "That makes sense." Everyone nodded.

    "It's too insidious!" Shopkeeper Hou scolded, and said with some gratitude: "But it seems that the Royal Bank has survived." He looked at Chen Guanren as if inquiring, and said, "Then the stock price of the stock exchange should  Can it be recovered?" From the closure of the Huilian account to the run on, the price of 570 stocks listed and traded on the Shanghai Stock Exchange has only half of what it was before the crisis broke out.  People vomit blood after losing so much, so they naturally hope to get back their capital as soon as possible.

    "There will definitely be a rebound in finance regardless of family." Chen Guanren pondered: "But how much the rebound will be, it's hard to say."

    "Anyway, there must be something to make." Hou shopkeeper said confidently: "I will go to the bank when I turn back, and transfer all my family assets to the stock exchange. This time, I must get back the losses."

    "Old Hou, the stock market is risky, so you must be cautious when entering the market." Ma Liuye kindly reminded: "You used to cross the river with eggs in your hands, why have you become more and more like a gambler recently?"

    "Otherwise, what should I do?" Shopkeeper Hou sighed, unable to swallow, and said, "The situation in this world is getting worse every year. In the eighth year of Wanli, I still had a net worth of 20,000 taels. It has been shrinking year after year. Now I only have  The original 80% is down, if I don¡¯t gamble again, how can I rely on retirement.¡± The down 80% means 20%.

    "It's better to be cautious." Ma Liuye picked up a steamed dumpling, put it in his mouth, and said vaguely: "The newspaper said that the stock market is a barometer of the world's morals. If the world is good, the stock market will be good. If the world is bad, the stock market will not be good."

    "" Shopkeeper Hou didn't want to hear this, so he changed the subject and said, "Speaking of newspapers, why haven't the newspapers delivered today?" They ordered several newspapers, and the newsboys delivered them directly to the teahouse every morning, but today they were delivered.  It's late.

    Before the words were finished, a newsboy carrying a huge oilskin bag ran in.

    "Monkey boy, are you being lazy again?" Master Ma Liu scolded with a smile.

    "Really not." Houwa gritted his teeth and said, "There is shocking news, and the newspaper office has re-typed it. Hurry up, it's still too late."

    "What shocking news?" Now hearing such words, everyone's calves were spinning.

    "Masters, look for yourself, I have to go home." Houwa poked the newspaper into Ma Liuye's arms, and ran out.

    "Stinky boy, there are ghosts chasing after you!" Ma Liuye cursed, distributed two newspapers to the neighbors, opened one himself, and read the headline on the front page: "The eunuchs of the East Factory are guarding themselves,  Fifty million taels of treasury silver was stolen" Then read a smaller subtitle: "Huilian Shanghai treasury was looted, who will be responsible for the loss of depositors?"

    Shopkeeper Hou's face turned pale in an instant, and he sat there for a long time in a daze, when the people next to him finally couldn't bear to touch him, only to hear him scream: "God" He fell headlong and fell to the ground on his back.

    Fortunately, in the eyes of Ma LiuyeTo pour oil on them, the government can only try their best to appease them and ensure that their property will be safe. At the same time, they put pressure on the branches of the Royal Bank and at the same time, they sued the court, demanding that the Shanghai treasury theft case be strictly dealt with and immediately come up with a rescue plan.

    Emperor Wanli in Beijing was finally awakened from his dream of getting rich. Looking at Zhang Siwei who was kneeling under the imperial steps, he looked annoyed and said, "Didn't you swear that there will be no problem annexing Huilian?"

    "Weichen said so." Within a few days, Zhang Siwei was much older and his body was rickety: "Kehuilian's vault was stolen, which changed everything. For bank notes, the most important thing is confidence.  How can customers have confidence in Royal Bank when they know their money is not safe!"

    "If I find out who leaked the secret," Wanli blushed, and in order to hide his guilty conscience, he said angrily, "It must be shredded into pieces!"

    "There is no impenetrable wall in the world. What happened will be known sooner or later." Zhang Siwei sighed: "It is meaningless to talk about it now, please the emperor to find a way to save the Royal Bank anyway, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous  .¡±

    "What's unimaginable?" Wanli curled his lips. Although he felt that the consequences of the bank's bankruptcy must be serious, he didn't know why. Therefore, he still had the idea of ??letting it flood the sky and I would just take it easy.

    "Since Huilianhao and Rishenglong were established 30 years ago, banknotes have become the main currency in our Ming Dynasty. People take it for granted as wealth, saving, spending, and investing, and it is the present Huahua world. If  The Royal Bank, which accepts bank notes, fails, and the bank notes in the hands of the people become worthless. Then the stock market will plunge, and countless people will become impoverished overnight. Many factories and businesses will face bankruptcy.  the unemployed."

    Zhang Siwei has obviously assessed the consequences of bank failure through experts, and he said in a trembling voice: "What's more frightening is that a large number of urban residents do not grow food. Citizens have to rely on money to buy food in the countryside.  Once the banknotes in their hands become waste paper, a large number of people will starve to death, and if someone instigates at this time, there will be a large-scale rebellion!" Swallowing a mouthful, he said shyly: "Take a step back and say  , the southeast is the land of wealth and wealth of the Ming Dynasty, if it falls into crisis, the court will face the danger of cutting off its finances and taxes!"

    "Then, what should I do?" Wanli finally changed his face. What the emperor fears most is the rebellion of the people and the depletion of wealth and taxes, because this will lead to instability in his country.

    "Save the market!" Zhang Siwei took a deep breath, fixedly looked at the emperor and said: "First, the above decree prohibits the government from withdrawing cash from the Royal Bank, and all transactions, including tax payment by the people, must be paid by bank notes.  Second, the emperor retrieved the fifty million taels, severely punished those responsible, and declared the Royal Bank¡¯s treasury sacred and inviolable. Third, the imperial decree announced that silver bills would be exchanged at the same value as cash, but given the current market chaos, the turnover is not  Ling, so the banknotes below one hundred taels are paid as they are, one hundred to one thousand taels are temporarily paid fifty taels, and more than one thousand taels are temporarily paid one hundred taels, and the deadline is tentatively set for half a year I believe that after half a year, the panic will be eliminated.  "

    This series of tricks has obviously been carefully considered by the masters. If they follow this way to save the market, I believe it will be very effective.

    However, Emperor Wanli could not accept it completely, because he was keenly aware that Zhang Siwei was passing the crisis of Shanxi merchants on to himself.  What is "announced by the imperial decree, the banknotes are exchanged for cash at the same value"?  If the crisis does not improve after half a year, wouldn't the common people want to ask themselves for money with bank notes?

    Thinking of this, he couldn't help but asked in a harsh tone: "What about you? What should you Shanxi merchants do? While you are intoxicated with money, you can see that the imperial court has become your scapegoat?"

    "The emperor means" Zhang Siwei twitched in his heart.

    "What do I need to say about your business?" Wanli sneered and said, "Mr. Zhang can handle it himself."

    "What is self-discipline?" Zhang Siwei was so frightened that his hoofs trembled, and his voice trembled, "Please make it clear, Your Majesty." He thought Wanli was persuading himself to commit suicide to thank the world¡ª¡ª
