"Empire Hegemony" Chapter 1320
"Return coins, return coins!"
"If you don't return the coins, we will destroy your bank!"
"Yes, smashed your bank!"
Thousands of people gathered around the gate of the Imperial Bank, the capital of Hedong Province, and the bank was completely blocked.
These indignant people shouted sharply, demanding that the Imperial Bank return the coins they had exchanged for money tickets a few days ago.
"Everyone be quiet, be quiet, don't make noise, okay?"
Facing these angry people, Feng Mingda, the treasurer of the Imperial Bank in Hedong Province, also came out in person to try to solve the problem.
"Liar, you are a liar!"
But as soon as Feng Mingda, the shopkeeper of the bank, stood up, someone threw a shoe at him and cursed loudly.
Facing the raging people who kept throwing shoes and sundries at him, he also had to return to the bank in disgrace.
The Imperial Bank undertakes an important task in the currency reform of the Far East Empire. They need to gradually replace those coins with the money notes issued by the Empire.
What they adopted was the exchange ratio that five bronze medals could be exchanged for one ticket at the Imperial Bank.
All coins before the end of the month are abolished, and the empire uniformly uses the copper, silver and gold tickets issued.
But what people never expected is that there are some hostile forces secretly playing tricks.
They first exchanged a large number of bills from the black market, and then they secretly manipulated the conversion ratio with a large number of bills and coins in order to greatly depreciate the bills.
As a result, the purchasing power of many people's money tickets that had just been exchanged from the Imperial Bank declined rapidly.
Seeing that the money bills exchanged from the Imperial Bank became like waste paper, the shops did not accept them.
Under the instigation of caring people, the common people also felt that they had been cheated, and clamored to the Imperial Bank one after another, demanding that they be exchanged back into coins for use.
Imperial Banks undertake the important task of currency reform, they only issue money invoices and collect coins.
Now the common people have to exchange it back. As a result, their plan to promote money tickets will be defeated, and they will not be able to complete the task of reforming the currency assigned by the court.
So they were unwilling to exchange the bills into coins again. Such a combination naturally angered the common people.
The money bills held by the people have become a piece of waste paper, and now they cannot be exchanged for coins. Naturally, they vented their anger on the imperial bank.
Under the instigation of some people, the Imperial Bank of China has become a representative of liars, which undoubtedly makes the Imperial Bank of China and the imperial court face a great crisis of trust.
"Quickly report the situation to the chief, and ask the chief to send troops to protect the Imperial Bank."
Seeing that more and more people gathered outside, and the situation was getting out of control, Feng Mingda, the person in charge of the Imperial Bank in Hedong Province, was anxious like an ant on a hot pot, and hurriedly sent someone out through the back door to report to Zhou cold report.
"What, thousands of rioters surrounded the Imperial Bank?"
Zhou Han, Chief of Political Affairs of Hedong Province, was inspecting the water irrigation facilities outside the city. After hearing the report, his expression turned serious, realizing the seriousness of the problem.
You must know that the Imperial Bank stores a lot of money. Once the Imperial Bank is compromised, it will inevitably cause a lot of losses.
"Back to the city!"
Zhou Han used to have outstanding military exploits on the battlefield, and now the empire has turned to internal governance.
Zhou Han, who has a relatively strong learning ability among the officers of the Qinghe Army, was appointed as the Chief of Provincial Administration of the third rank.
Zhou Han has just taken office in Hedong Province not long ago. This was once the site of Zhendong Army, and there are quite a lot of hostile elements hidden among the people.
Now that there is a siege of the imperial bank, Zhou Han, the Chief of Political Affairs, also knows that it must be dealt with properly, otherwise there will be chaos in Hedong Province if someone with a heart instigates it.
Chen Ziang handed over the Hedong Province to him, and he didn't want to disappoint Chen Ziang's expectations of him.
On the way back to the provincial capital city, Zhou Han sent to mobilize the security brigade stationed in the outskirts of the provincial capital, and inquired about the situation in detail.
When I learned that the money notes issued by the empire had depreciated significantly in recent days, and that all shops did not accept them, I realized that there must be someone behind the scenes.
?Because the Qinghe Army was waiting in Yunxi Mansion, Jiangbei Province before.??When money tickets were introduced, there was no such problem at all.
"The officers and soldiers are here!"
Soon, dense footsteps sounded at the end of the street, and a large number of Qinghe Army soldiers in black uniforms appeared.
These Qinghe army soldiers in black uniforms are not soldiers of the field troops, but the security forces under the command of the security corps.
There is only one brigade of 1,000 people stationed in the capital of Hedong Province, and now almost all of them have been transferred by Chief Minister Zhou Han.
Seeing the arrival of a large number of murderous security soldiers, the clamoring people all backed away in unison, showing fear on their faces.
Surrounded by several security officers, Zhou Han, the Chief of Political Affairs, strode to the front of the Imperial Bank.
Seeing the people gathering in darkness, Zhou Han also felt quite a headache.
If it was an enemy, he directly ordered to rush to kill, and wiped out the opponent with real swords and guns.
But now he was facing some common people whose interests had been lost. He took a deep breath and strode up to the steps of the Imperial Bank.
"I am Zhou Han, Chief of Political Affairs of Hedong Province. If you have any requests, you can bring them to me, and I will solve them for you!"
Zhou Han looked around the crowd of people with sharp eyes, and then he opened his mouth full of anger.
Because of the sharp depreciation of money notes and the rejection of shops, the wealth accumulated by the common people disappeared overnight.
Now their appeal is also very simple, that is, they hope to exchange back the coins they used before, and don't want this money ticket like waste paper.
However, facing the murderous security soldiers around them, they now looked at each other in blank dismay, not daring to speak.
"We want our coin back!"
Seeing that everyone was frightened and no one dared to speak, a young man bravely stood up.
"Then tell you, why do you want to return the coins?"
Although Zhou Han understood the situation, he still deliberately asked questions knowingly.
"Our coins can be used to buy food, but these bills are not accepted, and on the black market, fifty copper bills can be exchanged for one copper coin. We don't want this money, we want coins!" the young man said loudly.
"Yes, we want coins!"
"We don't want this money ticket!"
The gathered common people all echoed and opened their mouths one after another, chattering, but it was quite lively.
"Okay, I understand your request."
Zhou Han pressed his hands down, and he spoke only after the scene quietened down.
"You want to exchange the coins back because you think the money tickets are unusable and worthless, right?" Zhou Han asked.
"right!"
"It must be returned to us!"
Seeing those young people shouting loudly, Zhou Han winked at a security officer beside him.
This security officer also came back from the field troops. Immediately with a big wave of his hand, several wolf-like security soldiers rushed over and arrested the young men.
"It is His Majesty's will to exchange money bills for coins, and it is for the sake of the people. You people secretly suppress money bills, incite shops to refuse money bills, and incite people to besiege banks. You deserve death!"
Seeing these arrested young men, Zhou Han sternly reprimanded them.
"Take it down for me, and make a decision!" Zhou Hanhan shouted.
"I'm wronged, I'm wronged!"
These few young people who were shouting happily among the common people also turned pale with fright when they heard that they were going to be executed, and hurriedly begged loudly for mercy.
"My lord, you can't kill them."
"My lord, they were wronged."
Seeing that Zhou Han was going to kill people if he disagreed with him, the common people were terrified, and several respected old people hurriedly stood up to intercede.
