Chapter 193: The government seals the store

Yu Ren smiled bitterly and said to everyone, "Everyone doesn't need to have it. We have already stated that you can exchange any banknotes printed in our store at any time when you come to our store, and it may not be a money shop, and other stores will be as usual. As long as it is a store opened by my Shen family.

I understand everyone's thoughts, but I am afraid that the government will seal the money house in three days and that your money will have nowhere to be paid.

Don't worry. Don't say that his prefect may not be able to seal my store. Even if it is really sealed, you can also take banknotes to my house to exchange. The Yu family can't open it, but the Shen family is still there. As the saying goes: If you run away, the monk can't run away. What's the scary thing about you!"

Everyone felt a little calmer after hearing this. But they were still worried. "Yu Dangjia's tone was so loud. This official document was issued by the prefect himself. Why do you dare to say that they dare not do this?"

Yu Ren sneered, "Everything can't escape the word "reason", let alone I, Yu Ren, is not a soft persimmon that I can pinch. The former governor, Mr. Xiong, wanted to treat me to dinner! He, a little prefect, dared to touch me? There was no door!"

Yu Ren was not a person who likes high-profile like this, but he also knew that if he was not high-profile at this time, the people in front of him would not be willing to leave.

"But Lord Xiong has been transferred! As the saying goes: People are in favor, but people are in favor, but people are in favor. At this time, the Yu family still wanted to suppress Magistrate Ma with the power of Lord Xiong, but I'm afraid it's not realistic!" Someone raised questions on the spot.

Yu Ren sneered, "What you said is true. But I am not the only friend of Lord Xiong. I don't know all the adults in Susong's officialdom, but at least half of them. There is a saying that goes: Don't take care of the porcelain work without gold, steel and diamonds.

Since I, Yu Ren, dares to open a money shop, how could I easily be shut down?"

The onlookers were a little more distracted after hearing Yu Ren's words. So, everyone was not as crowded as before. Many people saw that they were too crowded, so they went back temporarily.

In order to facilitate everyone's exchange, Yu Ren dispatched almost all his staff. Not only did he open several exchange points in the money shop, but he also set up many temporary exchange points outside the money shop to exchange paper money for people.

Everyone saw that Yu Ren not only did not obstruct them from redeeming silver, but also opened many more exchange points to facilitate everyone.

This move is much more effective than Yu Ren's words, so many people are no longer so anxious. Although there are still many people who exchange points every day, they are no longer confused. Everyone is patiently queuing up.

On the third day, the silver in the banknote of Yu's money house was immediately spent 70% to 80%. But Yu Ren was not anxious because he knew that the banknotes outside had been collected almost all the time, at most only 10% or 20%. Even if they were all exchanged, he could handle it.

Three days later, no customers came to Yu's money house to pay the money. However, many people came to this street early with curiosity, and they wanted to see if what Yu Ren said that day was the truth or a mouthful.

At the time of Chenzheng in the morning, the Yu Family Money House on Zhengyang Street opened the door on time. After a while, a group of constables, including twenty or thirty people, rushed over with swords. Behind these people were a lot of miscellaneous gangs, and together, there were probably no less than a hundred people.

When pedestrians saw this, they all gave in. Many people followed this group of constables from afar and wanted to watch the fun.

Among these constables, the leader was a middle-aged man in his forties. Everyone in Songjiang Prefecture knew him. He was Sun Qing, the chief inspector of Songjiang Prefecture.

Sun Qing led this group of people to the gate of the Yu Family Money House on Zhengyang Street with great momentum, and then surrounded it with a wave of his hand. Sun Qing brought five or six subordinates into the shop majestic.

People watching from afar started to talk.

"This Sun Laohu actually went out in person. It seems that Mr. Yu is going to suffer a loss this time."

"I think what Mr. Yu said a few days ago was just a big talk. Even if he had the ability, he was still a villain. How could he fight against the prefect!"

"I think so, did you see Sun Laohu bringing so many people here today? This Sun Laohu is the most capable guy who bullies the weak and is afraid of the strong. If Mr. Yu really has a big backstage, how could Sun Laohu dare to be so arrogant?"

"Oh! It's a pity that this young master Yu is young and talented, I'm afraid it's difficult to pass this level again!"

"We will never use such easy-to-use banknotes again. You really don't know. Now that we are used to using banknotes, we suddenly ask us to use them again. It's really inconvenient to carry this bulky thing on our body. Unfortunately, such a good life will no longer be available!

I heard that Xu Sanshao opposite also opened a new money shop and also printed money, so I don’t know how it was.”

"Are you talking about the Xu family money house opened by Xu Sanshao? I have changed it. Their banknotes are not only of poor quality and easy to break, but also have a more important disadvantage. When you go to exchange banknotes, the guys in their store are very enthusiastic. When you take banknotes to exchange banknotes, they will suddenly change their faces, as if you owe them how much money you owed them in your previous life, and you will try your best to deduct some of them and not give you the full amount. I won't go any further. Even if there is no banknotes, I won't go any further."

There were all things in the crowd. But everyone agreed that Yu Ren must be closing this time.

However, what surprised everyone was that Sun Laohu, who had always been fierce, was beaten out this time with a bruised nose and a swollen face. A big man who looked like Li Kui walked out of the door with Sun Laohu in one hand, and then threw him heavily to the ground.

"Boy, you don't have a big eye to see your dog. Is this a place and your wild place? What is our young husband? You dare to be rude to him. Go back and tell you the Ma surname, and say that if he knows the image, he can be a prefect for a few more years. If he doesn't know the image, he will be afraid that he will get out of here in less than two months."

Sun Qing almost broke his bones by the big man, but he didn't dare to say anything. He just got up silently, waved his hand to his subordinates, and left in shame.

This incident was much beyond everyone's surprise. As a result, everyone's confidence in Yu Ren increased a little. However, they also knew very well that Sun Qing was just a front pawn of Ma's prefect. Yu Ren could handle Sun Qing, but he might not be able to handle Ma's prefect. Since he had beaten Sun Qing, Ma's prefect would come soon.

Sure enough, after a while, Prefect Ma came here with a bunch of yamen runners.

Ma Juren was the prefect after all, which was different from Sun Qing. He came to the door of the money shop, calmly got out of the sedan chair, and then took only two followers and walked in.

Ma Juren entered the money house and saw that there were no customers in the money house at this time. There was not even one shopkeeper, only one person sat in the main hall. This man was about twenty years old and had a handsome appearance. Although he was just a young man in his prime, his eyes were calm and experienced, and he was unmoved at all when he saw his prefect's show.

When Ma Juren saw this man's eyes, his heart hopped, knowing that this matter was not easy to deal with today. Just now, when Sun Qing came back, Ma Juren saw that he was beaten to the point of being beaten to a bruised face, he asked him how he came back. Sun Qing only said that before he saw the main owner, he was beaten by a big black man. Then he pretended to be seriously injured and refused to go out again.

After asking several subordinates, everyone said the same thing as Sun Qing. After hearing this, Ma Juren was furious, so he came with him personally and brought people. He knew that shortly after he arrived in Songjiang, these yamen runners did not buy his account very much. They often disobey him. In addition, there has been no prefect for the Songjiang Prefecture for more than ten years, and only one Jiao Tui was in charge of the overall situation.

Now that he has come, it is equivalent to robbing Jiao Tui Guan's job. At least he can no longer be the boss of Songjiang Mansion, and he can no longer collect money as unscrupulously as before. So, Jiao Tui Guan tried every means to make things difficult for him. Sun Qing is Jiao Tui Guan's confidant, so Ma Juren has never been very relieved about him.

When Ma Juren saw the young man in the hall, he bowed. "Do you dare to ask if it's Yu's family?"

"I dare not be a fool, it's Yu Ren." Yu Ren said, and stood up from the chair.

"I wonder if the official notice issued by our government three days ago has received it?" Ma Juren was not polite as soon as he came up.

"received."
