Chapter 285

Emperor Yingzong Rui:

"@Emperor Shizong Su, you little one, have you figured it out? What exactly is going on?"

Emperor Shizong Su:

"I don't know, but my intuition tells me Su Qiao is doing the right thing, yet my reason tells me Emperor Taizu is doing the right thing."

Emperor Yingzong Rui:

"6."

"To speak so refreshingly and uniquely while knowing nothing at all."

……

……

Within Jin Ling.

After witnessing firsthand Su Qiao being thrown into the imperial prison by Zhu Yuanzhang.

The common people suddenly became bewildered.

They only wanted Su Qiao to cancel the Sun family's debts.

To make life a little easier for the Sun family's orphans and widows.

But they never expected the result to be Su Qiao stripped of his office and thrown into the imperial prison.

Did they really win?

They did not know.

But they soon discovered a terrifying thing.

—The Baochao is about to collapse!

With Su Qiao thrown into the imperial prison.

The entire Baochao Administration Bureau was also surrounded by men of the Embroidered Uniform Guard.

A rumor immediately spread within Jin Ling.

It said the court intended to stop exchanging Baochao for silver.

Because of this matter.

It was originally founded by Su Qiao.

If the court issued another "no exceptions" decree.

The money they had worked so hard to save.

Would once again become void.

That very night.

Those who reacted quickly ran to queue outside the Baochao Administration Bureau.

Hoping to exchange their savings for silver before the court's edict arrived tomorrow.

On the other side.

The black-market dealers within Jin Ling became active once again.

........... 0

Quietly buying up the Baochao in the hands of the common people at low prices.

As long as the price of Baochao fluctuated.

They, these speculators, would always profit.

Jin Ling, originally calm and peaceful.

With Su Qiao's imprisonment.

Changed its world almost overnight!

At dawn the next day.

Old Zhu had not yet woken up.

When he was hurriedly awakened by a young Eunuch.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, trouble has broken out in the outer court. Several my lords from the Ministry of Revenue and the Commandant Jiang of the Embroidered Uniform Guard are all waiting outside."

Zhu Yuanzhang's expression suddenly changed.

He immediately hurried out of the hall.

"What exactly has happened?"

Several senior officials of the Ministry of Revenue hurriedly said:

"Your Majesty, this morning the Jin Ling Baochao plummeted sharply, and the Exchange Warehouse is already swarmed by the common people."

"If we continue exchanging like this, I fear that within Several days' merit, our Great Ming's national treasury will be emptied by the people of this entire city!"

Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang's expression suddenly changed.

"What exactly is going on?! What is going on!?"

Jiang Huan clasped his hands and said:

"Your Majesty, secret reports from the Embroidered Uniform Guard state that since Su Qiao was thrown into the imperial prison last night, common people have already been queuing overnight outside the Exchange Warehouse to exchange for silver."

"The common people fear that Baochao will no longer be exchangeable for silver in the future!"

Zhu Yuanzhang gritted his teeth and roared:

"Did I not say? All affairs of the Baochao Administration Bureau except for lending shall continue as before. How can they still exchange?"

Sweat beads seeped all over Jiang Huan's forehead.

"This subject, this subject does not know!"

Just at that moment.

An Embroidered Uniform Guard ran hurriedly into the Viceroy Yamen, looking at the crowd before him and saying,

"Your Majesty, Grand Commander, it's bad, it's bad."

"The residences in the city have already begun to drop in price."

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the newcomer in confusion and asked,

"Residences dropping in price? Were the prices of residences not set by the Precious Note Bureau? How can residences drop in price?"

The Embroidered Uniform Guard looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and said,

"Your Majesty, it is not the residences held by the Precious Note Bureau that are dropping, but those already bought by the common people."

"Last night, someone sold residences in the Qianmen Street area at half price."

"Now all sorts of things are being said in the city; some even say Your Majesty will halt all matters regarding the community schools because the court has no money."

Hearing this,

Zhu Yuanzhang immediately cursed,

"Nonsense! When did we ever say we would stop the community schools?"

The emperors in the chat group were completely stunned by the scene before them.

Merely throwing Su Qiao into prison,

how did so many troubles suddenly arise?

Even Jiajing's face was filled with disbelief.

What the Great Ming ruler and ministers did not expect was that it continued to unfold.

Following the sudden drop in residence prices within the city, the brick kilns, boat yards in the suburbs, and the trades that had sprung up like bamboo shoots after rain just a few days ago,

all seemed as if an earthquake of magnitude eight had struck.

If handled even slightly carelessly, it would become a earth-shattering upheaval... Three.

160, Zhu Yuanzhang: Arresting on a whim and releasing on a whim, what do you take the court for?

Inside the chat group.

Jiajing paced back and forth within the West Garden.

After a long while,

he finally vaguely saw the crux of the problem.

Emperor Shizong Su:

"It seems your son has understood a little."

Emperor Chengzu Wen:

"What time is this? Don't hide it anymore, speak quickly!"
