Silver has fallen again!

But this time it is no longer controlled by those speculators.

They watched helplessly as their money dropped from three hundred and fifty to three hundred, two hundred and eighty, two hundred and four, two hundred, one hundred and seventeen, and one hundred and fifty!

The amount of money lost in just a few days has exceeded their imagination.

This is not a good thing, it means that the market is no longer under their control, and it means that the Ming court's countermeasures have been launched.

There is too much money, really too much money.

No one knows how much money the imperial court still has. The money released in these days alone is already overwhelming. Some speculators only feel like clowns after discovering the truth of the matter, as if everything is under the control of others.

The resistance they put in with all their strength seemed to be a joke, which almost made these people heartbroken and went crazy!

"Fake! Fake! It's all fake!" "Hahahahaha!"

"Eighty million! Another eighty million! How come the imperial court has so much money?" "It's all fake! It's all fake!"

In the Ming Dynasty, Jiangsu and Zhejiang, Cai Defu, who was once a prosperous speculator, was now trapped in the abyss and unable to extricate himself. He felt that his life was shattered in an instant. Seeing the pile of money in his home turned into scrap metal, his original pride and complacency were all gone.

All the confidence I had in my grasp was shattered by the money released by the court.

When he found that the money he had spent all his money on had completely plummeted and could not be saved, and when he found that he was so busy that he had not made a penny, not to mention that he still owed more than a dozen loans that he could not repay in ten lifetimes, he...

crazy!

"Hahahahaha! Fake! It's all fake!"

"Hahahaha! How can there be so much money? How can there be so much money?!" "I am the richest man, I am the richest man, Ming Dynasty should listen to me!"

The crazy Cai Defu laughed wildly and went crazy. His clothes were disheveled and his hair was disheveled. He was talking nonsense and running around the house with his bare feet.

As for the servants he hired, they no longer cared about Cai Defu at this moment, because after knowing that the money had plummeted and was completely worthless, before they had time to run away, a dozen families had already come to his door.

Just relying on the loan owed by their boss Cai Defu, let alone this yard, even if there are ten more yards, a hundred yards can't be compensated!

These servants can only watch helplessly as these creditors rush in to demand money, and their master's family has gone crazy. Only the mistress Wang is left to support her. How many more days can she survive?

After finally dealing with the creditors, Cai Defu's first wife, Wang, sighed with physical and mental exhaustion: "If you want to control the economy of the Ming Dynasty, is the economy of the Ming Dynasty as easy to control as before? Why do you have to go against the court? Do it well

Can’t you live a good life?”

Thinking about the huge foreign debt owed by her family and her husband who seemed to be crazy, Wang felt that the past few days had been like a magical world, and the ups and downs were so fast that her heart stopped.

But at any rate, there is still some hope. If all the money in hand is sold, it should be able to be replaced with some loans. As for the rest, if Cai Defu can get back on his feet, then the Cai family can still be saved.

Thinking like this, Mrs. Wang reluctantly gave herself some confidence. After all, she couldn't do anything else right now. Her parents' family had given her a lot of help before. Among the dozen or so huge foreign debts Cai Defu owed, the Wang family

of.

Now that it was unrealistic to seek support from the Wang family, she could only find a way to save herself. "Where is the master?" Wang couldn't help but ask, looking at the maid beside her.

The maid looked horrified: "Master, Master is missing!" "What?!" Ms. Wang was confused.

When they ran to the backyard in a mess, all they saw was the mess on the ground and the wide open back door.

"Look for it quickly!" Mrs. Wang was completely anxious. If Cai Defu couldn't be found, the Cai family would be completely destroyed. What should her children do?!

At this time, Cai Defu had already staggered to the street. People looked at the once proud businessman Cai with horror. Now he no longer has the wisdom and elegant appearance, only a disheveled figure.

, a crazy and chaotic madman.

huge

The blow destroyed his mind, making him burnt inside and confused. He didn't know what he was doing, and he didn't know what he should do. He just wanted to vent.

"Fake! Fake! It's all fake!"

"Hahahaha, they are all liars! They are all liars! Liars!" "Hahahaha! Hahahaha!"

Cai Defu was talking nonsense, and he stumbled and fell into the mud. The people around him dispersed to avoid getting hurt by the obsessed Cai Defu.

His hair was disheveled, his body was covered with mud, his bare feet were covered with wounds, and his body was covered with traces of a fall. But Cai Defu didn't know it. He got up from the ground in confusion and looked at the frightened eyes and avoidant expressions of the people around him.

, smiled brightly, and then rushed out of the city: "Fake! Hahahahaha! It's all fake!"

People gave way one after another, watching the Cai Da businessman, who was once famous in the city, rushing wildly and randomly, and they didn't know how to describe the feeling in their hearts.

"This great businessman Cai was once a talented person. He became successful at a young age and switched to business. He accumulated a lot of wealth along the way. Even the county magistrate always kept him smiling. How come he is in such a miserable state now?"

"Hey, I haven't heard about it yet. I don't know why Mr. Cai can't think about it. He has to go against the imperial court. How much money does he have? He also wants to collect money from the imperial court. Now the silver price has fallen into a bottomless pit. He has to pay for it.

It’s not even enough to repay all the money I’ve lost!”

"It's easy to live a good life after making money. Why do you have to go against the court? The court didn't treat him wrong?"

"It's like a snake swallows an elephant when people's hearts are weak. I just feel sorry for the Wang family member who has always supported him. Now, together with him, we will be in bad luck!"

"I heard that these people had a premeditated plan and wanted to control the world's money so as to control the market. As a result, they lacked capital. Now they can't control anything. Instead, they are all trapped and unable to get out."

"Oh, you really brought it upon yourself. I didn't believe it when the silver price dropped. Later, Mr. Cai took my money. I thought it was a good thing, but I didn't expect that he actually wanted to go against the imperial court."

"Who says it's not the case? It's only been a few days and it's already bankrupt."

People chatted with each other and watched Cai Defu running out of the county. Then they saw Wang, the mistress of the Cai family, rushing out with her servants to look around. People kindly gave directions, and Wang quickly led people

We chased outside the city. When Cai Defu and Wang disappeared, people had nothing to talk about and dispersed one after another.

But the next day, news spread in the city that Cai Defu was dead. He ran into the river madly and drowned himself.

This news caused a wave of waves in the city, and then disappeared like smoke. The Cai family's affairs were destined to be a topic of conversation, and the past was over.

There were more than one speculator like Cai Defu in various parts of Ming Dynasty.

When the imperial court continuously dumped money from Shuntian Mansion, these speculators who realized that they were dreaming and could not compete with the imperial court woke up from their dreams and looked at the piles of silver in their homes and the money they owed that they could not repay.

The debt was staggering. These people were so crazy that in just three or two days, more than a dozen people hanged themselves or jumped into the river.

Others looked crazy, and ended up running away early with their families and valuable money, leaving behind empty houses and piles of worthless money.

And some seemingly normal people jumped off the cliff and jumped into the lake while relaxing.

These people died, but the debts they owed drove their creditors crazy.

"Dead?! If you die, you will be done with it?! I was so confident and so arrogant at the beginning, I really thought I could compete with those big chambers of commerce, but in the end I gave such an explanation?!"

"Reason? How do you want me to be rational? What reason do you want me to have?! So much money is wasted. We believe in him and support him. If he dies, what will we do?!"

"Now that I think about it, those big gentry from the big chamber of commerce have probably seen us hopping around like fleas and know that we are looking for death. It makes me feel so shameful and shameful just thinking about it!"

"You don't know what you can do, you don't know what you can do."

creditor

They are heartbroken and beating their chests one by one. Their investments have been in vain, their assets have shrunk, and all that is left to them is these worthless silver. But now is not the time when the price of one tael of silver is equal to one thousand treasure notes. Five consecutive

Not even a hundred treasures can be worth it!

One tael of silver is now only worth more than a hundred treasure notes, which has shrunk ten times, and the money is still shrinking! The treasure notes are completely worthless, what should they do?!

The creditors who were on the verge of tears looked at the piles of money and couldn't keep their manners. This time they really lost money!

The futures market is in mourning. The plummeting silver price has not only affected silver. The entire futures have suffered a serious blow. The market is in turmoil. Some outsiders who came to control the economy for speculation have even lost their money.

receive a blow.

At the same time, the Ming Dynasty's latest decree was issued, and the Ming Dynasty newspaper was quickly distributed throughout the country to appease the market and stabilize people's livelihood.

Speaking of silver, it really has nothing to do with the people. Just like before, people's homes only contained copper plates and scattered silver coins. Nowadays, people's homes are mainly made of treasure banknotes. They don't have much silver, so they sold them early.

The big businessmen and gentry with large amounts of money have also been stabilized. In fact, it is the speculators and some blind speculators who have suffered the most.

Small and medium-sized businessmen knew that they had poor risk tolerance and would not make decisions easily. They did not speculate in silver. After the price of silver fell, except for those who wanted to go overseas to do transactions with foreigners, the rest also spent their money one after another.

If it is sold, it cannot be said to be a profit, but it is not a loss either.

The turmoil in the market is just the panic caused by the aftermath of the drop in silver prices. The people are most disturbed by the rumors and make them uneasy.

Now the Ming Dynasty Newspaper has clearly pointed out that there is just a group of people trying to interfere with the Ming Dynasty's market, trying to control the Ming Dynasty's economy and then seeking personal gain. The Ming Dynasty's market is still stable, and the treasure money is still strong.

Nowadays, Ming Dynasty treasure banknotes are linked to gold, and the circulation of treasure banknotes is still the same. Based on the gold reserves of Ming Dynasty and the credibility and strength of the Ming Dynasty, Bao banknotes are still the most widely circulated and most trustworthy currency in the entire Ming Dynasty and even in the East.

Want to replace Baoqian? The national and military strength exceeds that of the Ming Dynasty, and then we can defeat the Ming Dynasty!

The propaganda of the imperial court and the appeasement of the local yamen undoubtedly made the people settle down. If you think about it carefully, the people are not fools. They have also discovered the truth behind the manipulation of public opinion during this period. After all, those people are propagating every day that the treasure banknotes are going to be destroyed. The imperial court

It's time to harvest everyone's wealth. It's just those few people every day who can be recognized at a glance.

Before, the price of silver was turbulent, and some people took the lead in causing trouble, causing the people to be blind and confused. Now that the court has taken action, the people have woken up and naturally understand what happened.

Soon, those who took the lead in making trouble and manipulating public opinion were all caught by the local government. With the cooperation of the people, none of these people could escape, and they were all sent to prison to await their fate.

It is a long working life.

Although it is pleasant to chop them off with a knife, the losses to the court will be great. After confiscating the property, they will be sent to build roads, dig mines, build dams, and dig ditches, which is also a labor force.

In addition to these people, there are also some foreigners and barbarians stranded in the Ming Dynasty. "Why don't you let us leave?!"

"We have legal status and we are here to do business. Is this how Ming Dynasty treats businessmen who are sincerely doing business?!"

Frank, a Western businessman, was very dissatisfied. He was stopped just as he was about to leave Daming. The guards on the dock refused to let them leave, saying that they had not obtained permission from the Yamen.

Just kidding, the pass from the Yamen was clearly given to me early in the morning.
