Chapter 1096 after the storm
The imperial bank in Shangjing City suddenly began to exchange gold and silver again. The exchange ratio of officials was not as good as that of Jiaozi in the Song Dynasty. However, as long as it could be exchanged, the people would have the last hope and would not go to a dead end. After all, no one wanted to use their lives to make a last-minute attempt.
There were originally eight money shops in Shangjing City. In addition to the destroyed money shop, there were seven more money shops. They almost played the sign at dawn, and the big money word on it almost became the focus of people's hearts.
There is nothing more exciting to the people than seeing the appearance of the sign.
But in the same way, all the defenders appeared near the money house. Everyone stood solemnly and stared at the people in front of them. Once there were loud noises and dissatisfied with insults, they rushed into the crowd and captured them as soon as possible.
As long as you can exchange the official in your hand for money, no one will care about this kind of thing. You shut up tightly, hold the official in your hand tightly, and move forward step by step.
The exchange rate is very slow, and it takes a quarter of an hour or even three quarters of an hour to repay a person, but as long as it can be exchanged, no one will say anything.
"The court has opened a new money shop on the fur street, and there are few people there!"
Someone shouted, and the people behind the team rushed to the fur street as fast as possible. Everyone wanted to exchange the officials in their hands for money one day. The panic prompted them to take what they thought was the most rational.
With the emergence of money shops on the fur street, several money shops appeared in the capital city, and began to exchange officials for the people, so that more and more people were smiling. At the same time, the palace tent soldiers in the palace began to act.........
They searched the people who had hit the bank's general account on that day and said that any participants, regardless of whether they were stepping into the bank, would be detained!
This is amazing, but many people participated. They believed that the law would not blame the masses, but they did not expect that the emperor was furious and did not intend to turn over this page. Someone must have done it if the money shop was destroyed, but who can find it out?
The palace tent army can!
They worked with the officials and friends of the money shop who survived, searched from house to house in the city. Once they found the person whose name appeared on the money shop account, they were immediately detained. Once they found that the person looked familiar, they were immediately detained. In front of the court, it was useless to reason.
What's more, the court even issued documents that anyone who can prove that the neighbors are participants will receive a reward. Some people have bad ideas and immediately testify that the neighbors, friends, or even relatives are participants when they participate. They will receive pardons immediately, and there are also the benefits of rewards.
Where is Shangjing City?
Although the population of the capital of the Great Liao Dynasty is not as large as that of the Tokyo and Beijing cities of the Song Dynasty, it is at least 600,000 people! There were no such people originally, but the Liao people found that once the population is gathered, the economy can grow rapidly, and economic growth has also driven tax growth. This is learned from the Song Dynasty.
Tens of thousands of people were arrested and there were definitely not so many prisons in the capital. The only way was to imprison in an open-air camp outside the city, connected by ropes. In this cold and frozen season, people died every day, but the court just didn't let go. Obviously, this was to kill the chicken to warn the monkey.
"People always have to pay the price for what they do. Your Majesty, although there are innocent people among them, most of them are guilty. If they want to completely cut off the tragedy that will hit the money house again in the future, it is nothing to die now."
Yelu Hongji stood on the city wall and looked at the crowd. In this moment, he had seen many people falling down. If he did not treat him in time, he would definitely not be able to wake up again.
Looking at the calm and scary Zhang Jian, Yelu Hongji slowly spoke: "Why did the business I transferred to be included in the treasury by you as soon as I arrived in Shangjing? This money has been continued in my Great Liao for several generations, and can even be traced back to the Eight Tribes of the Khitan!"
"Your Majesty, if you don't have this money, the holes in the money house will not be filled. Although I have filled the secret treasure into the national treasury, I have not used the money to fill the holes in the money house."
Zhang Jian's words surprised Yelu Hongji. How did the holes without that money house be filled?
Chen Bohan quickly explained, "Your Majesty, the people had no confidence in the court and the officials before. As long as they were asked to pick up their confidence, the officials would still be officials and could still buy and sell things. The Left Prime Minister took advantage of this and sent soldiers from the Shou Army in the palace to disguise themselves as people to go to the money house to exchange money, and return the exchanged money to the money house again, so the money was endless..."
Yelu Hongji suddenly realized that it was difficult to take Zhang Jian to say that he had not used a penny from the treasury. It turned out that he had been acting for so many days, but it was not right! He had indeed transported the secret treasures of the eight Khitan tribes to Shangjing!
Zhang Jian seemed to see through Yelu Hongji's thoughts and said firmly: "Your Majesty, now our Great Liao is on the cusp of the storm. If you are not careful, you will be in danger of turmoil in the national tripod! The Song Dynasty built a border wall and used high walls as the boundary to reopen the Han and Tang dynasties' rule, which is to prevent our Great Liao from moving!"
Yelu Hongji was stunned by Zhang Jian's words, and then said, "So the Great Song Dynasty built the Great Wall for the Northern Expedition?"
Zhang Jian nodded slightly: "It is very likely that I have observed the methods of the Emperor of the Song Dynasty in detail. Before every battle to destroy the country, there must be abnormal movements in the Song Dynasty. At first glance, these abnormal movements have no big connection with the war. But once the Song Dynasty takes action, these early disasters will begin to play a role!"
Yelu Hongji suddenly looked at Zhang Jian: "My mother also warned me like this. Now that the Song Dynasty built a border wall, it was a strange movement. The sudden appearance of our Liao Dynasty and the robbery of Dui officials was also a strange movement! Is it because the Song Dynasty was about to carry out the Northern Expedition?!"
Zhang Jian nodded slightly and turned to Chen Bohan and said, "You must keep an eye on the matter of money shop. If there is another robbery, this time, the gap will be blocked with the court's money. At the same time, the court will no longer print new officials, just in case."
Yelu Hongji nodded slightly and agreed to Zhang Jian's request. This incident of robbing money really scared him. He thought that the tens of millions of dollars he had secretly printed were nothing, but who knew that when he saw it, the story was revealed so quickly. After thinking about it, it was still the businessmen of Song people who were doing it.
If they didn't exchange it, if they didn't shout "The Liao Dynasty has no faith" outside the bank, this wouldn't have happened.
Yelu Hongji's eyes flashed with an angry flame, and he turned to Zhang Jian and said, "Do you want to let go of those Song people? They provoked the turmoil in the capital, and they shouted at the entrance of the money house that the Liao Dynasty had no faith!"
Zhang Jian smiled bitterly and shook his head: "These are all Song merchants. Since they dare to do this, they are probably fully prepared. It is easy to kill them now, and it is not difficult to catch them. But once this is the case, they will give people a handle and the Song Dynasty will not give up!"
