Chapter 485: Taking advantage of the opportunity, the last straw (Part 2)
There was a strange law in this world, and that was, good things will happen one after another, and bad things will come together and break out at the same time, making people overwhelmed.
In the face of this running storm, Futian Bank could no longer stand it. Their s.h.i.+p that was carrying silvers has been overturned. The entire s.h.i.+p sank with 50 million silver into the sea without any trace… …
This incident crushed even the last straw of their survival. The East Country didn’t let this chance pa.s.s. The emperor hyped things up. The next day, the Futian Bank, which didn’t get any money, finally declared that all their money has been exhausted and closed in advance.
As soon as this news came out, the people who held Futian Bank’s banknotes went crazy. They all surrounded Futian Bank and asked them to give a statement. The house of the manager of Futian Bank was also surrounded by people. Some people that has a personal connection with Futian Bank tried to contact other branches to exchange their banknote, but their situation was no different.
The capital went into chaos. Those who have Futian Bank’s silver tickets didn’t get their money like others. They wander in front of Futian Bank every day. If they were not worried about the power of the Central Empire, they smashed this bank a long time ago.
At this time, the manager of Futian Bank didn’t dare to put the air anymore. He came out to appease the people. He explained the background story and the reason why they couldn’t get the money temporarily and then ensured that the Futian Bank will operate normally within 3 days and will continue issuing money. The silver tickets in their hands will not turn into waste paper.
After all, the manger of Futian Bank was from the Central Empire. The Futian Bank had been operating well before. So after hearing his explanation, many people felt a little relieved and decided to go to Futian Bank’s opening 3 days later.
The manager made a 3-day promise, but with their current situation, it’s impossible to transfer money within 3 days. He can only keep this promise if he relies on the East Country’s national treasury.
The manager of Futian Bank who had always disdained to deal with the East Emperor personally visited and asked the emperor to borrow silvers from the national treasury.
Borrow silvers?
How could the Emperor lend him silvers? However, if he refuses, he would offend the Central Empire, so… …
The emperor shamelessly spread his hands and said, “How much money does our treasury have? The manager knows it very clearly, right? Almost 70% of taxes collected by our treasury these years are all Futian Bank’s silver tickets. How about I let you borrow these silver tickets for you?”
This is a threat, this is definitely a threat!
In recent years, most of the taxes received by the east national treasury became Futian Bank’s silver tickets. Although as long as they brought these tickets to their door, the Futian Bank will cash them out, it will be clear to them that a country will spend money. They were obviously being monitored.
The Emperor was dissatisfied with this… …
The manager of Futian Bank almost coughed up blood.
The emperor was also a kind-hearted person, so he proposed a bright idea: “Didn’t Xiao w.a.n.gfei withdraw 30 million silvers not long ago? The manager should try borrowing money from Xiao w.a.n.gfei.”
Lin Chujiu took out 30 million silver and said that it was to pay compensation for the people. As a result, Lin Chujiu issued a bunch of silver tickets from Tongyuan Bank. These silver tickets were originally from the Zhang family. Lin Chuji didn’t spend even a cent of her money.
The manager of Futian Bank knew that it was not a good idea to look for Lin Chujiu at this time, but now he had no other choice. When he came out of the palace, the manager let someone send Lin Chujiu a note saying that he would visit her in person.

Lin Chujiu played with the note sent by Futian Bank and then said with a smile: “Tell Su Cha that it’s time to act.”
*Pa-* When Lin Chujiu got up, the note in her hand fell on the floor and made a m.u.f.fled sound: “Housekeeper Cao, you go and prepare. There will be a valuable guest in the afternoon.”
With the downfall of Futian Bank, will the Zhang family still dare to be arrogant in the East Country?
