Chapter 252

Wumen is the main gate of the palace city; after entering the palace city lies the Outer Court.

And Chengtian Sect is the main gate of the imperial city.

It is the place where the common people and the imperial family meet.

And the Exchange Treasury of the Baochao Supervisory Office outside Chengtian Sect is precisely the largest Exchange Treasury in all of Great Ming.

Inside the Chengtian Sect Exchange Treasury at this moment.

The Deputy Supervisor of the Baochao Supervisory Office looked at Su Qiao with a face full of terror and said,

"Master Su, we cannot accept any more, we cannot accept any more!"

Su Qiao gazed at the common people forming a long queue in the distance.

He shoved the Deputy Supervisor aside and said,

"What do you know? Can you let so many common people wait here for nothing? We still have so much silver behind us, what are you afraid of!"

"My lord, if the hundred officials find out, you will have your head chopped off!"

Hearing this, Su Qiao's hand movement paused involuntarily.

The Deputy Supervisor finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Before he could even exhale that breath, Su Qiao immediately spoke excitedly,

"Can there be such a good thing? Did you all hear that? If we accept any more, they will chop off my head! Everyone be quick! When the time comes for my head to be chopped off, I will treat you all to a farewell meal!"

Hearing this.

The Acting Official of the Supervisory Office almost spat out a mouthful of old blood.

How did I run into such a superior official?!

And at this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang had already walked out carrying two boxes of Great Ming paper currency.

Seeing the common people forming a long queue outside the Supervisory Office, Zhu Yuanzhang's face immediately dropped.

"Rebellion, rebellion! Su Qiao is digging away the foundations of our Great Ming!"

Zhu Yuanzhang's old face turned iron-green with anger.

This is just the Exchange Treasury at one location, Chengtian Sect!

If the common people of the whole city exchange like this.

Even if the Hubuya Sect were here, they would be so poor they'd have to sell their pants!

"Make way, make way! Someone, we..."

Before Zhu Yuanzhang could reveal his identity.

Suddenly, someone grabbed Zhu Yuanzhang's arm and said,

"Old man, do not panic!"

The Embroidered Uniform Guard behind Zhu Yuanzhang immediately became tense.

And Zhu Yuanzhang could not help but fix his gaze on the person behind him.

"Who are you?"

That person looked at Zhu Yuanzhang without hiding anything and whispered,

"Old man, you want to exchange these paper currency for cash, right?"

Hearing this.

Zhu Yuanzhang immediately realized what kind of person the newcomer was.

The black market!

It is these black markets that exchange paper currency!

For these people, Old Zhu felt deep hatred.

In Old Zhu's impression.

It was precisely because of the existence of these people.

That the exchange rate between Great Ming paper currency and cash was suppressed to such a low level!

Zhu Yuanzhang, who had originally been eager to go settle accounts with Su Qiao, immediately stopped in his tracks and turned his gaze to the person behind him.

"Yes, what do you mean?"

That person clicked his tongue, unfolded the folding fan in his hand, and smiled, saying,

"How about this, old man, look, there are quite a few people here, so you don't need to wait here anymore."

"We will exchange these paper currency of yours for you!"

Hearing this.

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyebrows immediately tightened.

Then, pretending to be profound, he looked at the person in front of him, pointed at the Exchange Treasury behind him, and smiled, saying,

"Look clearly, this is the Exchange Treasury of the Supervisory Office, which exchanges for us according to the Court's paper currency law rate."

That person opened his mouth to speak, but seeing the official soldiers in the distance, he finally sighed and pointed at the distant tree shade, saying,

"Old man, let us go over there and take a look."

Zhu Yuanzhang looked in the direction the person pointed.

After taking a deep breath, he immediately followed that person behind and walked towards a large tree outside Chengtian Sect.

When they reached the foot of the large tree.

Zhu Yuanzhang crossed his arms, clicked his tongue, and said,

"Is it done? Shouldn't you tell us the price now?"

Hearing this, only then did that person look at Zhu Yuanzhang with a smile and say,

"Old man, look, this way you also save quite a bit of time."

"Just consider it a little legwork fee for the brothers, one guan of paper money, nine hundred ninety-nine and eight wen; for one guan of money, we brothers only make two wen as a queue fee. What do you think?"

Hearing the number nine hundred ninety-eight wen.

Zhu Yuanzhang immediately drew in a sharp breath of cold air.

How could it be that in just Two days' merit.

The Great Ming's precious banknotes have recovered to this state?!

Amidst the shock, Zhu Yuanzhang's hand immediately, seemingly casually, went behind his back, making a gesture to the Embroidered Uniform Guard in the distance.

The Embroidered Uniform Guard, who had originally been preparing to pounce, immediately froze in place.

And Zhu Yuanzhang, smiling brightly, looked at the crowd before him and said.

"Oh, just this? Then there's no need. We have four thousand guan here. At our age, queuing up to earn eight guan of money, this deal is too profitable!"

"Farewell, farewell."

Four thousand guan!

Hearing this number.

The eyes of these black market dealers before him nearly went straight.

Before these dealers could react, Zhu Yuanzhang clasped his hands in a bow to the merchants before him.

Immediately stood up and prepared to leave.

"Master! Don't go, don't go!"

Looking at Zhu Yuanzhang's back, that black market dealer gritted his teeth and said.

"Master, how about this? One thousand wen per guan, we brothers will exchange it. You go find someone to come collect the money!"

Zhu Yuanzhang, who had already taken a step forward, immediately froze in place.

Turning his head back, somewhat disbelieving, he looked at the black market dealers behind him and asked.

"What?"

"Master, we will exchange it. We just see that you are old, and queuing to exchange money is not easy. Come over!"

Having said this, those few black market dealers did not forget to wave at Zhu Yuanzhang.

Fearing Old Zhu would turn around and go queue.

But at this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang stuck his neck out at the two people before him and said.

"No need. It's all the same money. We will still exchange with the court. We are old; if we get cheated, our children and grandchildren will blame us!"

These merchants, especially these black dealers who do shady business.

Old Zhu simply did not believe they could be kind enough to earn not a single wen just to make things convenient for Old Zhu!

As expected.

The moment Zhu Yuanzhang spoke these words.
