Zhang Yunling, a businessman, is not an ordinary person who can compare with Yang Bo and Wang Chonggu and others, and can raise a son of a Grand Secretary.

He has been doing business all his life and has figured out everything he has done.

When a lot of people get together, their IQ will drop significantly. They are often the stupidest and most impulsive, and countless smart people will follow.

It’s like a guy who is playing tricks on the street. He is obviously not doing well, but someone takes the lead in applauding and throwing money. You will involuntarily shout and pay for it. When the crowd disperses, you want to slap yourself, but the money is still spent.

The same is true for the silver dollar run. With the family background of the Shanxi merchants, there is no problem at all. The key is to have enough time to schedule and arrange it calmly, and not all of them appear.

Zhang Yunling quietly arrived in the southeast. He first comforted the Hui merchants, then went to Yangzhou to meet with the representatives of the salt merchants, cut a large piece of fat meat, and persuaded the salt merchants to work together with them.

After dealing with these two groups of people, he contacted Fujian and Zhejiang businessmen again.

Zhang Yunling planned that the traffic flow on the surface did not break up with Shanxi merchants, and he also talked about the difficulties of the community all day long, so he just pretended to be confused. Anyway, the southeast is not a solid piece of law.

There are only two real core parts of the transportation business. One is the Yantitang Group founded by Tang Yi, represented by Lei Qi, Qian Pangzi and others, and the Dongting Mountain Gang. As for the other Zhejiang merchants, Fujian merchants, Hui merchants, and Guangdong merchants, they are all relatively peripheral.

Zhang Yunling used all his skills, threatened and tempted, and said all the good things, and finally comforted these people. Everyone agreed not to take the blame.

As long as the major merchant gangs are not involved, no matter how many straitors and raids are left, they are all broken and not worth mentioning.

Sure enough, Zhang Yunling casually made a few extras and bribed several newspapers, and the entire run of money was resolved invisibly.

Zhang Yunling was over 60 years old. After a lot of days, the bones on his body seemed to be dispersed. He collapsed on the chair, and he didn't even bother to move a finger. His subordinates fed him ginseng soup one by one. After a while, Zhang Yunling finally took a breath.

It happened that at this time, another news came.

After Zhang Yunling finished reading it, her good mood disappeared all of a sudden. She just screamed and fainted. Her subordinates hurriedly rescued him. As soon as she opened her eyes, Zhang Yunling was jealous and growled wildly: "Hurry up, prepare for the horse, I am going to Jinan."

The servants were stupid. Can you ride a horse like this?

"Don't you understand human words? Get ready for the horse, the sky is about to fall!" Zhang Yunling screamed heart-wrenchingly.

...

What exactly scared Zhang Yunling like this? It turned out that just a few days ago, the King of Lu, and more than 200 royal family members rushed to the Heshengyuan semi-colon in Jinan. Each of them took the contract and asked Heshengyuan to fulfill the contract and handed over all the Lumi to them.

Remember the plan that Tang Yi put forward. The royal families of the vassal kings and royal families in various places gave them a sum of money in the form of redemption to support the transformation and management of the royal family. Some were five years, and some were ten years.

Zhang Yunling consulted many people and thought that it would be possible. The next step for the clans, the children of the royal family were all a bunch of playboys and young men. Letting them sweat and make money and support themselves is simply a dream.

Zhang Yunling estimated that most people would rely on Lumi to live every year. Five years later, the deadline for the appointment came. If the court stopped their Lumi, these people would go to the Ministry of Rites to make trouble, and they would not let go. The people of the Zhu family had no other skills. If they were the best in the world, was the emperor himself the biggest scoundrel!

When the Shanxi merchants discussed, they laughed at Tang Yi for being shallow in his knowledge and wanted to solve the problem of the royal family by relying on a letter of appointment. This was a dream!

Anyway, for them, there was no loss. On the contrary, they could obtain the right to operate tens of millions of mu of land for the vassal kings. According to the calculation of one mu of grain, they gave the tenant farmers one stone, and lost another 30% of the grain during transportation. Ten million mu of mu of grain, which could produce seven million stones of grain. Not only were the essence of sheep raising enough, they could also control the grain market in the north, manipulate grain prices, and add a lot of money.

No matter how you calculate it, it's very cost-effective.

The Shanxi merchants agreed unanimously to sign all the royal families with the fastest speed and the best conditions.

Their contract was signed, and the tragedy came.

The ongoing silver crisis has fermented, and there are a lot of problems in the southeast, such as workshops closing, craftsmanship, and bank runs, which have attracted the attention of the world to the southeast, including Zhang Yunling.

But don’t forget that the lack of silver has also caused the preciousness of silver and copper, especially in the Central Plains, north of the Yellow River.

Nowadays, many villages and towns, but they can’t get ten taels of silver, especially in cities. Since silver is the settlement currency for bulk transactions, people don’t want it to give copper coins.

In order to fulfill the agreement, many merchants did not hesitate to exchange 5,000 ounces for one tael of silver, which was five times more than usual! As a result, they could not exchange the silver. It is said that in private, some people even offered a sky-high price of 1 to 10, which was only one tael of silver, which was for ten, which was ten thousand ounces, which was a full ten ounces!

I have to say that when people get crazy, everything will happen, and the entire Ming Dynasty will be twisted and deformed.

The princes of the royal family do not understand the economy and do not explore the knowledge. They only saw one thing: silver is too valuable!

How great it would be if I had the money in my hand!

Someone said, you are idle, eating, drinking and having fun, and you have ruined all your ancestors' family. How can you still have money?

The old men in the royal family quit, so dare to underestimate us, right? I don’t have any money, but we have an appointment!

Originally, no one was going to exchange Lumi for money and start a business. After all, there were still five years. They were like students on holiday. They would never think about doing homework in the last two days. Five years, and then the cabinet might be replaced. Besides, to say, it was very disrespectful. I heard that the emperor is lustful and in good health, and maybe he will change his new emperor in five years.

They are all from the Zhu family. Can you watch everyone starve to death?

These guys from the royal family are all complete ostrichists!

If it follows normal development, Tang Yi's plan will probably be left alone, but the problem is that the silver crisis has come and the clan's minds have begun to change.

We now say that we want to start a business and transform. According to the letter of agreement, the lowest-level Lieutenant Fengguo can also get 500 taels of silver. According to the market conditions, the silver price has soared by ten times faster. What a huge profit! No need to do anything else, just lending can make a fortune.

The more I thought about it, the more excited I was, my eyes were filled with little stars. Without saying a word, I picked up the letter and ran to Heshengyuan Branch.

When we arrived at He Shengyuan, we noticed that it turned out that others had arrived early. This was not possible. What if they took all the money away?

The old men in the royal family are not ordinary people. They dare to break into the yamen, let alone the small Heshengyuan.

In an instant, Heshengyuan from Jinan was blocked by the royal family, and there were shouting and scolding everywhere, waving letters and clamoring for debt collection!

...

"Hahaha, Prime Minister, I, Shen Mingchen, are convinced. How many pits have you dug for Shanxi merchants? It's so hard to kill people and not worth their lives!"

Almost at the same time as Zhang Yunling, the Prime Minister's Study room laughed even louder.

Shen Mingchen said proudly: "Those royal children dared to smash the Ministry of Rites. If they hadn't dealt with the three vassal kings, they would have all run to the Golden Palace to make trouble. Letting them fight against the Shanxi merchants is really a wonderful move, it would be really wonderful!"

Everyone laughed wildly, but Tang Yi was not that happy.

He sighed with his hands behind his back, "Oh, there is nothing we can do about it. We fight head-on with Shanxi merchants, and the chance of winning is far less than expected!"

Several strategists, together with Zhou Qinyun and Wu Tiancheng who arrived, looked bad.

Zhang Yunling has been moving around the Southeast and has seen so many people. Tang Yi has already received the news. It is really chilling that the Southeast that he had always thought was in his hands.

"Sir, don't worry if you ask me. Shanxi merchants have been operating for more than 100 years and have been in transportation for less than 20 years. How can they be compared with others? Most of the big families are just false and may not be truly inclined to Shanxi merchants." Wang Yin said carefully.

Tang Yi shook his head, "The battle between the two armies is not about how strong the troops are, but about the three thousand Vietnamese armored soldiers who can charge and fight to the death at critical moments. Today, we cannot fight in the major core families of Shanxi merchants at all, but they can be at ease among our troops. This is the gap and the place to strengthen in the future."

Zhou Qinyun and Wu Tian were speechless and were indeed speechless.

In fact, it’s not their incompetence. This time, the silver crisis was used, and only a few core figures knew that as for other business clans, their industries were also severely impacted and suffered huge losses. As the leader of the Southeast Group, Tang Yi could not clearly push the younger brothers to die, right?

Therefore, he had to cooperate with Shanxi merchants on the surface, but in the end, the people below were inevitably half-hearted.

In order to ensure the glorious image of the Tang Dynasty Chief Minister, a fatal blow to the Shanxi merchants must not be initiated by the Southeast. Those royal families who are confused, have no ability, and can cause trouble have become the best choice to watch a silence for three minutes for the descendants of the Zhu family.

Zhang Yunling rushed to Jinan after more than three days. He couldn't get out of the horse anymore. His subordinates supported him. When he got off the horse, he saw He Shengyuan's branch. When he looked up, he saw that the seven doors were broken, the ground was covered with bricks and tiles, waste paper and debris. Two mahogany doors were also unloaded, just like being robbed.

Seeing this scene, Zhang Yunling's eyes turned black, and a mouthful of blood spurted out, and fell softly to the ground...

Three days ago, King Zhu Yitan of Lu, and Kong Shangwen of Yansheng Gong Mansion, went to the branch together, and took out a total of more than 1.5 million taels of silver. In addition to the previous family members, the silver treasury of Heshengyuan in Jinan was emptied.

King Lu took the lead, and Shandong's merchants, officials, and people, all who had banknotes in their hands joined the bank run. He Shengyuan, who was unable to pay silver, was robbed by an angry crowd.
