The rumors were like thunder and seemed to explode suddenly.

Rumors began to spread that the imperial court's promotion of Daning treasure banknotes was a conspiracy to replace gold and silver with waste paper and let the people exchange it. This was to compete for profits with the people and to gather the world's wealth into Daning Bank!

Daning Baochao is a huge scam!

When the rumor first spread, it aroused criticism and spread quickly.

This involves money and self-interest, who dares to neglect it?

How many people today have exchanged all the silver they have at home into treasure banknotes.

It's fine for normal use, but if there are some bad rumors or troubles, it will make people panic.

Think about it, you spend all your money to buy something, but one day you suddenly say that the thing is worthless.

What would the reaction be?

Good things don't go out, but bad things spread thousands of miles.

Rumors stop only the wise, everyone understands the truth.

But how many people can truly be called wise?

Most people still follow the trend and follow the crowd.

What others do, I do too.

What others say, I also say.

This is always true.

You don’t believe the rumors and don’t spread them, but in the end, you believe them more truthfully than anyone else, and they spread them faster than anyone else.

This is the current situation.

News of the problem with the banknotes spread quickly.

"I told you a long time ago that real money is more reliable, but you just didn't listen. What's the use of exchanging this waste paper?"

A woman urges her man.

"Hurry up and redeem it, don't wait until you can't redeem it."

Situations like this happen from time to time.

From the bottom of their hearts, they still believe that money retains its value better, and the traditional concept cannot be changed for the time being.

Some people can't sit still.

Now I have started to go to Daning Bank to exchange silver coins...

The news is gradually picking up, but it has not yet reached a large scale and is only scattered here and there.

Many people are still waiting and watching, because the wealthy businessmen have not moved yet.

If the treasure is going to fail, they will be the ones who suffer the most...

"What could be wrong with this treasure note?"

"Since I used this treasure banknote for transactions, my business has become much better and more convenient. How can this be a conspiracy of the imperial court? Can't I just spend it?"

Several businessmen gathered together.

They really feel the benefits of treasure money.

Money is flowing.

"Wait a minute, the big salt merchants and the wealthy businessmen are not in a hurry, so why should we be in a hurry?"

There have been a lot of discussions about gatherings like this, and we are still waiting and watching.

But Chen Qu and the others haven't moved yet. It's too eye-catching at this time and can easily attract him. They are still waiting.

First, wait for the common people to start a trend of reversal and become followers, then there will be no problem...

The situation is still unfolding.

Naturally, Qian Dafu would not let him do what he did. Issues involving banks were naturally not under the control of local officials. However, if there were rumors slandering the imperial court, it must be dealt with seriously.

The Jiangzhou government began to intervene.

At the same time, the Jiangzhou official newspaper also published a clarification of the rumor.

This is someone with ulterior motives trying to deceive people and take advantage of the opportunity.

There is no problem with Daning Baobao.

The battle of public opinion has begun, or in other words, a battle to defend treasure banknotes has begun!

Lin'an, Daning Bank branch.

Qian Dafu was looking at the recently calculated exchange accounts.

It is obvious that the redemption trend has begun, mainly concentrated among ordinary people and small retail banks, and those big businessmen have not yet started...

Semicolon shopkeeper Zheng Xiong said: "Big shopkeeper, this round-trip exchange is too labor-intensive. Although we have so much silver, we can't stand the trouble."

"Do you think someone is deliberately causing harm behind this?"

Lin'an branch is also the main branch of Jiangzhou. The shopkeeper who can do this is naturally a little alert.

"Should we find a way to control it?"

"It's time to take control."

Qian Dafu's thoughts sank slightly.

Then he said: "From now on, redemptions will be restricted, the amount and time will be set every day, no waiting will be done if it is late, and a transaction fee will be charged for large amounts of redemption."

"Transfer fee?"

Qian Dafu explained: "Our bank spends manpower on exchanges every time, and they all have to go through our hands. This is the transaction fee."

"This is great!"

Zheng Xiong's eyes lit up.

"Ordinary people will not be affected, but it will be difficult for those big households."

"Exactly."

Qian Dafu sneered again and again.

Those big investors are still trying to buy the bottom, but now you can’t even get your money out.

Otherwise, you can hand over money. The larger the amount, the higher the money will be. It depends on whether you are willing to part with it.

These words were spoken to him by His Majesty.

Your Majesty has already thought of this problem.

Bao banknotes and silver coins are freely convertible, but thresholds must be set.

No one can bear the back and forth.

This transfer fee is one of the means.

Originally it was called handling fee, but His Majesty felt that this word was not easy to understand, so he changed it to transaction fee.

It is reasonable and reasonable to specifically target big players.

"Hey, this isn't right!"

Zheng Xiong raised concerns.

"Today's rumors are already detrimental to Baochai. If we set the threshold again, won't this further encourage rumors and make people uneasy?"

"Rumors have no influence. The key is the big dogs. They are behind the scenes and set thresholds to restrict them. There is nothing we can do."

"Gou Dahu" is the nickname given by Qian Dafu to those evil businessmen.

If you don't do human things, you will do nothing but shit.

Qian Dafu knew the root cause of this matter very well.

In the beginning, these people were behind the scenes, and now many people are watching their movements.

But these big investors can't say anything because their money is tied up. If they don't move, the overall situation will be stable.

"Let's do it this way, create an official account immediately, contact the Jiangzhou official newspaper, and publish it in it."

"Understood."

Zheng Xiong took the order to do it.

Qian Dafu also left the bank and went to Jinyiwei Yamen.

Every state has a garrison, especially in a big city like Lin'an that has the status of deputy capital.

Speculating on treasure money for profit is already a serious crime. If you can lead public opinion, slander the court, or even slander His Majesty, then you are really seeking death!

Before coming, Guan Ning had given Qian Dafu authority, and he was the imperial envoy when it came to the promotion of new coins.

Not to mention using the Jin Yiwei, even the Jiangzhou Prefectural Shepherd must fully cooperate.
