Chapter 86 Human Plague
Gold and silver are not paper money. No matter how big the fire is, it is impossible for them to be completely burned. Even if they are burned into gold and silver liquid, they will still exist. But now the announcement of Tiancheng Bank is that everything is burned? Nothing is left?
How can this convince people?
But the announcement was like this. Even if someone questioned it, Tiancheng Money House’s answer was still: It was burned up, burned completely.
This is a rogue attitude.
What can you do to me?
The background of Tiancheng Money House is the royal family, the emperor!
You want to protest?
Do you want to rebel?
Therefore, after seeing this situation, these aristocratic families in Luoyang and Sizhou could only hold their noses and bear it!
At the beginning, they valued the royal reputation, so they deposited the money in. At that time, they thought it was more reliable than the Chengjin Bank in Jingzhou? But now, because the other party is the emperor, they have no way to get back at the place.
To some extent, it can be said that he has reaped the fruits of his own labor.
But after this incident, the credibility of the Han royal family plummeted in an instant.
When the court ministers saw what happened, they could not believe it at all and could only stare blankly. Many loyal and brave people even threatened to die to persuade Liu Hong to repay the depositors' savings.
But Liu Hong didn't care at all. The only thing in his eyes was the money. After getting the money, he started to build a nude swimming hall!
If Liu Hong had not set up this money shop, he would not have known that the noble families in the world were so wealthy. In just one month, they absorbed nearly 1 billion yuan in deposits.
At the beginning, Liu Hong's psychological expectation was to get 500 million yuan, which was already a lot and enough for him to enjoy himself. However, he did not expect that the balance would be exceeded soon. In just one month, he had that much money!
Where does this money come from?
Liu Hong probably knows that it's nothing but the people's blood and sweat !
Since I'm the emperor of the Han Dynasty, there's no problem in confiscating all the money, right?
Liu Hong felt at ease putting this money into his own treasury, not caring what others said. He only knew that he had money to enjoy himself!
And at the same time.
With the collapse of Tiancheng Money House, Chengjin Money House was inevitably affected and even faced the risk of a bank run.
Su Che was well prepared for this, and he released two pieces of major good news in advance.
First, the large ship of Chengjin Money House discovered an open-air jewel mine on an uninhabited island overseas and brought back countless gems and jade.
Second, they discovered several large silver mines in Japan and had reached an agreement with the Japanese Kingdom on joint mining. The Chengjin Chamber of Commerce would be responsible for mining and take 70%, while the Japanese, as the landlord, would take 30%.
When these two pieces of news were released, although they caused some doubts, after all, there was the precedent of Tiancheng Money House, but when Chengjin Chamber of Commerce took out those gems and jades, the doubts immediately disappeared.
It’s actually true!
At least those jewels and jades do exist!
However...making these jewels and jades is very simple.
Burning glass!
Su Che finally used this ultimate move.
In fact, the technology of burning glass has existed as early as the ancient period before the Qin Dynasty. However, the glass burned was not transparent at all and could not be considered true glass.
After being heated at high temperature, sand can indeed appear crystal clear, but it is still far from glass in the conventional sense. In addition to the main ingredients, boric acid, borax, limestone, etc. must also be added. In addition to adding auxiliary materials, the impurities of the main ingredients must also be removed.
Therefore, instead of firing sand with a lot of impurities, it is more convenient to fire directly with quartz ore.
Su Che also added some spirit stones as auxiliary materials, which gave the fired glass a faint aura and increased its hardness. It can be said that it is almost no different from natural gemstones and jade.
After the experience of the last simulation, it was extremely easy to replicate it this time.
As for jointly mining silver with Japan, that has not even started yet, but no matter what, let's just brag about it first.
Thanks to these good news, Chengjin Money House safely survived the bank run and at the same time attracted more deposits, truly making the world's money run wild for a time.
When all plans were carried out as planned, a few months passed in the blink of an eye, and autumn turned into winter.
This year's winter in the Han Dynasty was colder than usual.
A county town in the south of the Han Dynasty.
The owner of a carriage felt a little weak and kept coughing as he traveled. After a long time, he finally arrived at a clinic in the county town.
Soon, he came to the clinic and said quickly: "Doctor, I feel a little unwell, cough cough..."
The doctor first felt his pulse, then said nonchalantly: "You have caught a cold. I'll prescribe some medicine for you. Go home and take the medicine on time. You will be well in a few days."
"Cough, cough, cough, that's good, cough, cough, thank you, doctor." He lowered his head and coughed hard, almost coughing out his entire lung.
After getting the medicine, he stood up with difficulty, turned around and walked out the door. Before he got into the car, he fell down on the spot, which instantly attracted the attention of passers-by.
The doctor in the clinic realized later that the patient's illness was not as simple as a cold, so he hurriedly chased him out and was about to say something when he saw him fall to the ground. His face suddenly changed.
"It's not a cold...what is it?"
"Is this... a human plague?"
The doctor's voice began to tremble as he spoke.
There are chicken plague, swine plague, and cat plague in this world, and the plague against humans is naturally called human plague!
Human plague is a disease that is extremely difficult to cure and is highly contagious. At this moment, the doctor suspected that he had contracted human plague. When he thought about how this person had just coughed , his face turned green!
"This is a human plague, disperse quickly, don't gather here!!!" The doctor had some medical ethics, and he stepped forward and dispersed the crowd.
When people heard the words "human plague", their faces suddenly changed and they turned around and left.
The news of the human plague spread from one person to ten, and from ten to a hundred, and spread throughout this small county town in the blink of an eye.
And this person who was suffering from human plague was lying here, even the officials did not dare to approach him, thinking of just throwing torches and firewood from a distance and burning this person to death!
Just then, the doctor from Cheng Jin Clinic came out to treat the person suffering from human plague.
But he was rejected directly by the government officials. The county magistrate said coldly: "This is a human plague. We must burn it to death on the spot to prevent future troubles. Why would we let you get close?"
Ding Lun, a doctor at Chengjin Clinic, said seriously: "County Magistrate, since the plague has already appeared, it is definitely impossible that he is the only case. He has infected countless people along the way. If we don't treat him in time and study how to cure him, when the plague breaks out, it will be too late to deal with it. It is better for me to try my best to treat him and see if I can cure him!"
"But can this human plague really be cured?" The county magistrate was skeptical.
"The doctors in our Chengjin Clinic can cure anything." Ding Lun said confidently.
The county magistrate frowned and thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll let you try!"
Afterwards , the county magistrate saw the doctor from Chengjin Medical Clinic put on a pair of white gloves, put a white mask on his face, then picked up the medicine box and went to treat the patient suffering from human plague.
"Strange attire, all the doctors at Chengjin Clinic seem to be quite strange!" the county magistrate muttered.
