The entire Zhili Road was in chaos.

As the Ming Dynasty Bank promulgated a fixed currency exchange ratio, and it was strictly forbidden for anyone to use illegal currency exchange ratio without permission, those people in the 18th Prefecture of Zhili Province who had lost all their money but still had to raise money were instantly dumbfounded.

They forcefully pushed the silver price up to 1:3 or even 1:2. Now with the official document of the Ming Dynasty Bank, the gold-silver ratio in the 18th Prefecture of Zhili Province has dropped to 1:10.

A full five times the loss!

And this is only the loss on the books, the losses below the book numbers are even more severe.

When people feel that even if the price of gold and silver reaches one to ten, the silver in their hands can still recover some losses.

Daming Company ran out again.

Because the situation this year is better than last year, the minimum price of grain in Zhili Road this year shall not be lower than the average year-on-year price last year. Violators will be punished.

This was the final blow that really made people start looking for ropes to hang themselves at home.

"It's over..."

"Our family is finished..."

"It's not like spending money, and it's not like spending money."

The capital city of Suzhou was exceptionally quiet today. There were very few people on the streets and there was no bustle like the big cities in the south of the Yangtze River.

And in every luxurious house in an excellent location, countless people began to cry and howl, feeling that the future of this business was a gloomy one.

And those merchants who were determined to leave Zhili Road were originally dissatisfied because the governor's office wanted to collect past business taxes.

At this moment, seeing the local businessmen in the Zhili area losing their fortunes in this turmoil, they all felt relieved in an instant.

Even if they pay some business taxes, it will be nothing compared to the losses suffered by these natives of Zhili Road this time.

In Suzhou City, in a house next to the Suzhou River.

The servants in the house were in a hurry, walking through the corridors and alleys in a panic.

Suddenly.

Deep in the house, a cry of surprise came from the maids.

All the servants began to walk towards the back house.

Few and.

Everyone saw that the master had hung himself from the beam.

His legs were swaying feebly, and he was obviously dead.

"Go! Go to the prefect's Yamen!"

The housekeeper was an old man. He immediately stared and arranged for his family to go to the government office to report the news.

The sharp-eyed servants had quietly left in the chaos, searched around the house, and then escaped quietly.

And such scenes are constantly being staged in the city of Suzhou, and even in the entire territory of the 18th Prefecture of Zhili Road, such things are being staged everywhere.

Government offices in various places are completely unable to sit still.

No one thought that in just over a month, things would develop to this point.

News that countless people had been hanged at home quickly spread throughout the city of Suzhou.

After noon.

Lion Rock outside Suzhou City.

In a privately occupied villa.

The prefect of Suzhou sat on his throne with an expressionless expression. In front of him, there were sparsely located people with high profile in the territory of Suzhou Prefecture.

It’s just that today there are not many familiar faces from the past.

"This government did not expect things to develop to this point. But... death cannot solve the problem."

The Suzhou Prefect's tone was a little difficult, but the situation in Suzhou Prefecture must be stabilized now.

If these people in front of him become confused now and reveal all the past events, even he, the prefect of Suzhou, may not be able to protect himself.

No one spoke on the field.

The Suzhou magistrate looked at everyone, shook his head and said: "Now that I think about it, this incident can be considered a foreshadowing, but none of us had expected it.

Since the Hongwu New Deal, when has the imperial court made any compromises? It is for this reason that I should have advised you to be careful when doing things."

Still no one around spoke.

And some people, just as the Suzhou magistrate thought, began to think about how to push others to take the blame. For example, the prefect in front of him was a good candidate to take the blame.

And more people are distressed about their losses during this trip.

The Suzhou magistrate spoke again: "But now that things have happened, we can't regret it. The current situation can only be said to be to make up for everyone's losses as much as possible."

Having said this, someone finally looked at the Suzhou magistrate.

make up for losses.

This is the question that everyone is thinking about now.

How to make up for losses.

The Suzhou prefect soon gave the answer: "It's a pity that those people couldn't think of anything. They just hanged themselves to avoid disaster, but they left behind a whole family, old and young, and their livelihood outside.

We were all familiar with each other in the past, and we probably had a lot of friendships. We went to have tea, drink, and listen to music. At this time, we couldn't pretend that the family was in ruins.

If everyone likes the business of each family, then pay the full price to support it.

On the government side, with me here, no one will say anything that shouldn't be said."

This is to use the livelihood of the dead families to make up for the losses of the families here who are still alive.

As for the matter of underpinning or not, no one took it seriously.

Let’s make up for our own losses first.

At this time, someone's expression softened a little.

"The master of the house is wise."

The Suzhou magistrate looked at the people with changing expressions in front of him, but his heart felt bitter.

Perhaps some of the losses suffered by these people can be made up for.

But I am afraid that I will face accountability from the top next.

The future is bleak.

…

"So does this all end here?"

Still on top of the Chaoyang Gate Tower of Yingtian City, Zhu Gaochi asked Zhu Yunxi a question.

Zhu Yunxi withdrew his gaze from admiring the sunset in the south of the Yangtze River, and looked back at Xiaopang.

There was a hint of coldness on his face, and it was a bit chilly.

"These greedy people started this thing, so it's up to us to decide when it will end."

Zhu Gaochi's eyelids moved slightly: "You have made so much back this time, and you want to continue?"

Zhu Gaochi looked at Zhu Yunxi in front of him again, and suddenly felt a little strange.

I don't know since when, in Zhu Gaochi's eyes, Zhu Yunxi's behavior became more and more like his old man.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! As he started to do things, he began to pursue and kill them all more and more.

Zhu Yunxi sneered: "I have smashed millions of taels of silver and dumped them on the boundary of the 18th Prefecture of Zhili Road. How can I just sit back and watch the country's money continue to wander outside?"

Zhu Gaochi's back felt numb: "But those properties and wealth are all in your hands."

"That's just interest."

Zhu Yunxi smiled faintly.

Why did the increase in silver prices in the 18th Prefecture of Zhili Province proceed so quickly this time?

In addition to the local government officials sitting back and watching, secretly there is a steady stream of money being delivered by themselves.

Nowadays, it can be said that half of the industries in the entire Zhili Dao 18th Prefecture have quietly been under the name of Daming Company.

From the time he was preparing to establish Daming Bank and Daming Trading Company, Zhu Yunxi had no intention of relying solely on the people below him to work hard bit by bit.

With half of the industries in Zhili Road, the Ming Dynasty Company will start sorting out its accounts and sorting out its industries from now on. As long as it waits for the New Year, it can be fully launched next year and control the most important industries in the country as a royal official office.

Zhu Gaochi's lips moved slightly, but he did not speak.

Zhu Yunxi smiled softly: "If those people didn't think they could take advantage of the opportunity to make a lot of money, how could they have given Gu this opportunity and allowed Daming Company to get involved in so many industries? How could it have allowed Daming Company to get involved in so many industries as quickly as possible?

How can we get things done in the shortest possible time?”

Zhu Gaochi sighed.

He really had nothing to say.
