It is true that after the court was forced to make concessions to Jingzhou Group, merchants in various places had a significant increase in their confidence in gold tickets. However, it is obviously unrealistic to expand the issuance of gold tickets in the short term.

But the facts cannot be argued. On the territory controlled by Jingzhou Group, the issuance of gold invoices has suddenly increased, which surprised the senior executives of the entire Jingzhou Group.

After a little investigation, the senior management understood the reason and couldn't help but laugh and cry.

Whether it was Lin Chunhong, Qian Bingding and Phyllis, who were skilled in monetary finance, they really didn't expect that officials and gentry from all over the country would become the first batch of gold votes to support them.

This matter has to be discussed with the Ming Dynasty's official habits.

When the Ming Dynasty was founded, Taizu set the salary of officials very low, which was almost negligible compared to the huge expenses of each official. However, officials are also human beings. They not only seek various enjoyments, but also need to be a show of themselves. They cannot just maintain basic food and clothing as Taizu imagined.

However, where does the large amount of expenses come from? Therefore, both Beijing officials and local officials in various places want to do everything possible to make money.

Generally speaking, local officials have a high mountain and a long emperor, and they are in charge of the country, so their chances of making money are far greater than those of Beijing officials. According to principles, all officials should be eager to take local officials' posts.

However, this is not the case. Most officials still want to be officials in Beijing. After all, officials in Beijing still have very strong ability to restrain local officials. For example, the censors in the Censorate have very low rank, but they make any official feel scared. Once they anger, the impeachment memorial will be handed over to the emperor immediately, making you unable to bear it. For example, officials from the Thirteen Qingguansi Department of the Ministry of Revenue are in charge of financial affairs in various places. If they do not serve them well, they will be embarrassed.

In this way, local officials had to find someone and give him a copy of Chengyi. The officials in Beijing accepted it with a smile.

As a result, Beijing officials and local officials made a second distribution of income, forming stable and sustainable unspoken rules in the officialdom.

Once the unspoken rules are formed, no one can break them, otherwise they will be despised by everyone in the officialdom and a siege will be formed.

Gifts are a long history in China, with many taboos and rules, and have formed a special gift-giving culture. Every official who is like a fish in the officialdom is proficient in this way.

For example, who has ever seen anyone who drove a carriage to transport silver and give gifts?

Gifts should be given with a secret, elegant, and antiques, calligraphy, paintings and other objects are the best choice.

Antique calligraphy and paintings are packed in boxes and can be carried by a single person, which seems hidden. Moreover, these things are of high value and are enough to be taken out. Therefore, the transactions of antique calligraphy and paintings in Beijingcheng and Nanjing are extremely prosperous. This is not an accident, but an inevitable product of the habits of the officialdom.

As the passage of antique calligraphy and paintings was repeated, the distribution of silver reached a balance, and the Beijing officials and local officials were all happy.

After Lin Chunhong got the gold ticket, he forced the court to abide by the legal status of gold tickets. In addition, in the early dispute over bills, Jingzhou Group showed strong economic strength and good reputation. Local officials from all over the country immediately noticed that gold tickets were simply a natural choice for gifts.

The antique calligraphy and paintings I gave in the past were simply weak. After all, when buying antique calligraphy and paintings, I occasionally encountered fakes. Once the counterfeit goods were delivered to someone else's house as genuine products, it would be a trivial matter if I lost money. If the person involved thought you were deliberately spending him, it would be a great thing.

Moreover, antique calligraphy and paintings are at risk of damage, and in the repeated circulation, the antique calligraphy and painting shops make profits in vain, which is very unprofitable.

The advantages of gold tickets are very obvious. They are not only easier to carry than antique calligraphy and paintings, but also more concealed, and are not easy to damage. Of course, officials from all over the country flock to them.

These local officials are like human spirits. How could they not know that Zhu You checked the gold medal as a thorn in his eyes? They would never dare to go to the money shops of the beijing. Even the money shops in Yangzhou, Suzhou, Hangzhou and other places would not dare to go to the money shops in Yangzhou, Suzhou, Hangzhou, for fear of being targeted by the omnipresent Fanzi and Jinyiwei.

In comparison, the territory directly controlled by Jingzhou Group is much safer. Over the years, it is difficult for any force to reach its territory, including Jinyiwei and Dongchang.

Therefore, most officials instructed their confidants to transport the silver to Jingzhou and other places to exchange it for gold tickets, put it in their arms, and waited for the right time to give the gold tickets to the person who should give it to them.

The gold tickets were transferred very quickly. In just over a month, according to the estimates of the money shop headquarters, the face value of the gold tickets flowing into the capital exceeded 300,000 taels of silver.

Of course, Yu Leshui didn't know these things. It was not until he discovered that the gold tickets in the capital were flooding, that he suddenly realized and understood the significance of Qian Bingding maintaining the status of the capital's money house vase.

Moreover, Yu Leshui also discovered a fact that since the emergence of Jinzhao, the market for antique calligraphy and paintings of beijing has become increasingly depressed, and it began to go bankrupt after half a year, and its market size has shrunk sharply.

These are all later stories, so let’s not talk about them for the time being.

The news that the imperial court accepted the tax on gold tickets and spread across the country as if it had grown wings. In the south of the Yangtze River, the group faction close to Jingzhou represented by Jia Siyi began to accept gold tickets first. After all, compared with bills, gold tickets were simply too convenient.

Jia Siyi set an example, and Wang Dajun followed up. Not only did he exchange a considerable number of gold tickets, but he also bought a large amount of goods from Yangzhou Warehouse, becoming a Class A creditor and began to accept the protection of Jingzhou Group.

Wang Dajun's idea is very simple. Lin Chunhong has the ability to make the court give in and pinch them to death without pinching them to death. Some time ago, the reason why Lin Chunhong did not kill them was not because he did not have this ability, but because he was unwilling to do this.

Wang Dajun moved closer to Jingzhou Group, leading a group of people to start to strive for Class A and Class B credit, trying to get the protection of Jingzhou Group.

The sharp change in the power balance in Jiangnan attracted the attention of Li Duoyi and Fan Yongdou. At this time, Li Duoyi was staying in his hometown of Jixi, holding a golden ticket in his hand and constantly appreciating.

It must be said that as of the time when Wang Dajun defected to Jingzhou Group, Renhe Money House was in a very good momentum. He joined forces with Yuanfeng Money House to seize a lot of food from Bangtai Money House, allowing Li Duoyi to make high profits.

Li Duoyi is not a master who can't tolerate others. Although he has been fighting with Wang Dajun for many years, he still invites Wang Dajun to apply for bills together. From this point, it can also be seen that the grand manner of Hui merchants. Li Duoyi knows very well that if he can pull Wang Dajun together, the foundation of Renhe's money house must be at least twice as solid.

However, what disappointed Lee Dajun was that Wang Dajun rejected Lee Dayi's proposal, and the reason for his rejection was very simple: he was afraid that Renhe's money shop would be destroyed by Lin Chunhong in an instant.

Li Duoyi scoffed at this reason, believing that Wang Dajun was scared by Lin Chunhong. Li Duoyi naturally despised such a person who was not brave enough to be despised.

Several months after the establishment of Dangrenhe Money House and Yuanfeng Money House, no forged bill appeared on the market, which made Fan Yongdou and Li Duoyi breathe a sigh of relief in secret and couldn't help but celebrate. Just as they tried to invest additional investment and opened their branches across the country, gold tickets suddenly appeared.

Immediately afterwards, the storm changed suddenly, and the officials and gentry were eager to win the gold votes, and even Wang Dajun was thrown into the arms of Jingzhou Group.

Renhe Money House's business was naturally affected, and even showed signs of silver flowing backwards. Therefore, the plan to increase investment and open branches was naturally cancelled.

The phenomenon of silver backflow made Li Duoyi very nervous. After all, this is the precursor of the run. Once a run occurs, Li Duoyi's ability to withstand pressure will be far from being as stress-resistant as Jingzhou Group.

Yuanfeng Money House was slightly better than Renhe Money House, but it also scared Fan Yong into a cold sweat. He immediately reminded Li Duoyi to increase the principal rate to reduce risks.

Increasing the principal rate of bills means reducing investment in other industries. Li Duoyi has been increasing the principal rate to 70%, and then he put his heart back on his stomach. However, after Li Duoyi settled the accounts, he found that after this tossing, the money earned by the money bank in the early stage could not match the losses caused by the contraction of other industries.

Li Duoyi was shaken and began to consider whether to close Renhe Money House and concentrate on developing the industry he was familiar with. Unexpectedly, this move was strongly opposed by Fan Yongdou, and threatened to immediately sell 20% of Renhe Money House shares, and told Li Duoyi not to act alone.

Until today, Li Duoyi realized that he had boarded Fan Yongdou's pirate ship and it was impossible to get off the boat. Moreover, he became a shield for Fan Yongdou. If Lin Chunhong wanted to deal with the two money houses, he would definitely choose Renhe Money House first, which gave Yuanfeng Money House considerable reaction time.

"It's strange. Why are these old monks so persistent in getting bills?"

Li Duoyi was puzzled and hated Fan Yong in his heart, but he had no choice but to continue to suffer.

Fortunately, Fan Yongdou did not do too well. Not only did he add additional investment in Renhe Money House, he also secretly informed Li Duoyi that he had expanded Yuanfeng Money House's business to the territory of the Mongolians and Jurchens, and strengthened Li Duoyi's determination to better perform his shield duties.

Li Duoyi has 20% of the shares in Yuanfeng Money House, which should have been considered good news, but Li Duoyi has no intention of being happy at all.

The Mongols and Jurchens were the world enemies of the Ming Dynasty. Wouldn't Fan Yongdou do this to treason?

In fact, Shanxi merchants colluded with enemies, which was considered an open secret, and almost everyone knew. Li Duoyi also knew this, but it was not his turn to take care of things that the court could not control.

However, now Li Duoyi has 20% of the shares in Yuanfeng and is still faithfully performing his duties as a shield. Wouldn't he be together with Fan Yongdou and treason?

Li Duoyi's thinking does not mean that his national consciousness is strong. He only developed this kind of thought out of his contempt and despise of the barbarians.

This is just like a person who is the main person who is willing to become a slave to the wolf and robs another person together. A person who is the main person of the wolf is naturally despised.

Now, Li Duoyi is on the threshold of becoming a wolf dog servant, and he is completely confused.
