Lu Daqi pointed at the other four merchants and asked, "Are you here for this matter as well?"

"Yes, Governor." The four businessmen bowed at the same time.

Lu Daqi laughed: "No!"

"Sir..." The five businessmen looked as pale as death.

Now that Lu Daqi disagrees, they dare not resist and can only exchange all the silver into silver coins.

If that happens, their caravans in other provinces will be out of money!

The most taboo in doing business, both ancient and modern, is to cut off cash flow.

Once the cash flow is cut off, the company can almost be declared bankrupt.

The businessman surnamed Chen was unwilling to give in. "I just want you to slow down a little..."

"Yes, sir, just give us a few months."

"No," Lu Daqi shook his head expressionlessly, "Today you ask for a delay, tomorrow others ask for a delay, and the day after tomorrow all the people in Guanzhong ask for a delay. Are you still going to do this currency reform?"

The five businessmen remained silent, each feeling more desolate than the other.

Just when they were feeling hopeless, Lu Daqi spoke up: "When the imperial court implemented the currency reform, it took into consideration the situation of merchants like you and made some preparations for this."

"Oh?" The five merchants' eyes shone with hope at the same time. "Governor, please give us some advice."

"You all know Daming Money House, right?" When mentioning Daming Money House, Lu Daqi sighed in his heart.

Cao Huachun and Daming Money House took half of the profits from him!

His heart is bleeding.

"We know!" five businessmen answered at the same time.

Anyone who has some connection with the matter knows that the owner behind the Ming Dynasty Money House is the Ming Emperor Chongzhen, otherwise the money house would not be given the right to exchange silver coins.

"Da Ming Money House has a pledge business. You can pledge the silver coins you exchanged at Da Ming Money House, and then take the corresponding silver notes to other provincial money houses to exchange for cash! After you pay off the money, you can take the corresponding notes to withdraw the pledged silver coins."

"This way, I can continue to implement currency reform, and you can continue to do business."

"The dilemma is solved!"
