Early in the morning, Xuzhou City was shocked by the news that Jiangnan Bank had shipped money. The citizens did not bother to eat and ran to Nanmen Street to watch the excitement.
Sure enough, I saw two hundred heavily armed Jiangnan Bank security guards, escorting a convoy of dozens of oxen and horse-drawn carriages, slowly heading towards the back door of Jiangnan Bank.
From midnight yesterday to now, this huge team has been going back and forth countless times between Jiangnan Bank and the Guanzhou Shipyard, leaving deep ruts in the ground.
"How heavy is this car?" Looking at the large locked wooden box on the Ban'er car, the people who were eating melons were dumbfounded.
"A box can hold fifty taels of large silver ingots, one hundred and sixty, you can do the math yourself."
"Those three boxes are worth twenty-four thousand taels of silver. No wonder the animals are so tired that they stick out their tongues." A person who knew how to calculate accounts reported the number, which caused people to exclaim. "Then these dozens of cars are worth six to seven hundred thousand taels of silver!"
"Is this the ninth trip?" Some people have been watching the fun since last night and have been counting.
"Wow!" The crowd exclaimed. Now they finally had an intuitive understanding of Jiangnan Bank's strong financial resources.
"Who said they were out of money before?"
"Isn't this a scam? My interest" Many depositors who followed the trend and withdraw money felt distressed. Many of them were deposited when banks opened and the interest rates were favorable. As a result, it turns out that if you have to withdraw your money in advance, you won¡¯t have to worry about interest

Governor Jiang and his men hurried as hard as they could, and finally managed to transport the three shiploads of silver to the bank before the bank opened.
Although everyone had not slept all night and had been working hard for a long time, everyone was in high spirits and neither sleepy nor tired.
"How about we all take a break first?" President Jiang said, rubbing his sore shoulders.
"No rest! Now I just want to open the door and give out money!" The employees screamed. After being frustrated for so many days, they can finally vent their anger today! They didn't want to waste a second.
"It's great to be young." Vice President Li smiled rarely.
"Okay, open for business!" Jiang Dou cheered up and shouted.
When the bank's decking was laid down, people who had been waiting outside for a long time saw President Jiang walking out with his head held high.
Jiang Dou stood on the steps, bowed to everyone, and said in a loud voice: "Young and old men in Xuzhou City, the ups and downs in the past few days have caused trouble for everyone!"
With his back straight and courage, his voice penetrated the street and reached the second floor of Hengtongji opposite.
Shopkeeper Song stood there with a gloomy face and folded his arms, listening to President Jiang continue to say in a loud voice:
"You are all people with sharp ears and eyes. After watching the excitement for a few days, you will naturally be able to tell the truth. This is a malicious run on our Jiangnan Bank, and the mastermind behind it is the Hengtongji opposite!"
"Wow" The crowd exclaimed, thinking that this really pushed Jiangnan Bank into a panic, and they all started criticizing by name.
Song Xiaoming in the shadow twitched unconsciously at the corner of his mouth. In fact, he had been thinking about how to make peace with Jiangnan Group decently from midnight last night until now.
The other party is now openly naming names, obviously not intending to let it go
"They spent several months depositing a total of five million taels in our branches of Jiangnan Bank in Jiangsu and Zhejiang using different accounts. Then they took advantage of the blocked canal to run on us in Xuzhou at the same time, trying to bankrupt our credit. !¡± Governor Jiang¡¯s sad and angry voice reached Song Xiaoming¡¯s ears, making his hands and feet feel cold:
"Thankfully, our Jiangnan Bank has extremely strong funds, operates with great prudence, and regards credit above all else! We have already prepared tens of millions of silver reserves in Jiangnan and Jiangbei. Only then can we urgently transfer 10 million taels of silver from Jining !¡±
I saw Governor Jiang's face flushed with excitement. He raised his right arm high, extended his index finger, pointed at his location, and said provocatively:
"Shopkeeper Song, I just want to ask you, is ten million taels enough? If not, we will ship another ten million taels!"
"Ouch!" Unexpectedly, Governor Jiang's speech ability was quite strong, and he incited the people of Xuzhou to scream, as if they were in the same group.
Song Xiaoming's face turned livid, although he knew that the other party must have exaggerated. But as long as he couldn't drain someone else's bottom line, he could only listen to them bragging about having 100 million taels.
At the entrance of the bank, after the people's emotions calmed down, President Jiang continued and said loudly:
"Today, our bank announced two things! First, all depositors who came to register for exchange will be paid in full today, that isThe excitement fell into the eyes of the boy named Zhao early on. "
As he spoke, he closed his eyes in pain and said, "Jiangnan is in danger!"
Song Cai knew that his uncle was referring to the fact that after misappropriating the five million taels, Jiangnan's Hengtongji had only half of its silver inventory left.
¡°Didn¡¯t my uncle already ask someone to transport money from Huai¡¯an to make up for the shortfall?¡± he reminded in a low voice.
"Eighty percent of it won't make it through" Song Xiaoming turned his head to the sky and beat his forehead and said: "It's really a mistake not to use water to transport the Yamen's ship."
As if to prove his words, the sound of stomping up the stairs sounded again. The man in charge of the carrier pigeons delivered an urgent message.
Song Cai took it and unfolded it. His face immediately turned pale and he reported in a solemn voice: "Three days ago, the Censor Yamen of Caojiang City announced that a half-month-long drill against Japanese pirates would be held on the river from Guazhou to Shuangjiangkou. During the drill, , all ships from the north and the south are not allowed to approach, otherwise they will be punished as spying on military intelligence"
Guazhou is the intersection of the Grand Canal in Yangzhou and the Yangtze River. Shuangjiangkou is where the main rivers in Yangzhou merge into the Yangtze River. If this section is not allowed to pass, all ships from the north of the Yangtze River will not want to go south
Song Xiaoming's vision went dark and he almost fainted. Unexpectedly, Cao Jiang Yushi also became the lackey of Jiangnan Group!
Of course he knew the consequences of not being able to transport the money to Jiangnan. The reason why he hasn't fainted yet is because he still has the last glimmer of hope in his heart.
At sea, the news from the sea has not come yet.
