Chapter 121 The Crazy Xu and Yan

Before the group returned to the courtyard, they saw many shops with the same wooden signs open along the way.
At this time, Liu Haizhong asked with some doubt,

"its not right,

When I was coming back with the troops just now, I didn't see so many supply stores along the way.
Why are there so many of them in Nanluoguxiang?"

Hearing this question, Yi Zhonghai and the others all showed puzzled expressions, and it was clear that they did not quite understand.
Seeing their seductive expressions, He Yuzhu smiled and said,

“What’s so hard to understand?

When the gold yuan was reformed last year, Wang Mazi and officials at all levels lost part of their own property in order to fill the hole of 500 million gold yuan.
These industries will definitely end up in the hands of a few top officials and become bureaucratic assets.

Think again about the eight rules.
Those shops must have been confiscated by the Military Control Commission now.

That’s why there are many more shops like this one that belong to the Military Control Commission around Shichahai than in other places.”

After saying this, He Yuzhu looked at Yan Bugui and asked,
"By the way, Uncle Yan, I remember that the tenant of your shop also fled to the south. I think you can rent the shop to this supply department."

After hearing He Yuzhu's suggestion,

Yan Bugui, who had just nodded in agreement with Yi Zhonghai and others, shook his head without hesitation.

"Pull down the pillar,

That was the Peking Military Control Commission. As a commoner, I dared not rent my shop to them.
Whether or not you can collect the rent is just a small matter. If things go wrong, you may even lose your shop.

I'll wait until the situation stabilizes and then slowly start renting out the place."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Fugui looked at him with contempt.
"I think Old Yan is too stingy.

When I followed the group walking along Dongjiaomin Lane today, I heard many people say that this life was worth it.

From now on, I would even sell my life to the People's Liberation Army.

Others can even risk their lives, so what's the problem with your shop?"

Hearing Xu Fugui's words and seeing his disdainful expression, Yan Bugui directly retorted,

"Mr. Xu, didn't your tenant also run away to the south?
If you are generous, you can rent the house left by your ancestors to the Military Control Commission.

As long as you rent, I will definitely rent too.
Otherwise, stop trying to provoke me. I won't fall for it.

My family's shop is an inheritance passed down from my ancestors. If I lose it, how can I face my ancestors in the future?"

Seeing that he couldn't fool Yan Bugui, Xu Fugui didn't feel embarrassed and directly changed the subject.
"Speaking of this gold yuan thief,

Do you think those people who were shot by One-Eyed Dragon last time were real or fake?

If it's true,

But why is it that the whole of Beijing is saying that it is fake, saying that the gold yuan notes were obtained from Shengjing?
But if it's fake,
Why has there been no news of the Gold Yuan Coupon Thief since then? "

After saying that, Xu Fugui turned to look at He Yuzhu.

"Zhu Zi, I remember those were the two days when One-Eyed Dragon asked you to drink at the Bureau of Secrets. Did you hear any news from them?
and also!

We are not far from the gendarmerie, and you are of the right age.
Tell Uncle Xu, are you in the same group as those gold yuan thieves? Where are the cars and money hidden?
Is it because of this that One-Eyed Dragon kept you in the Secret Service?"

"Yes, yes, pillar.
You just happened to be…"

As soon as Yan Bugui said this, He Daqing started to scold them.
"What's right? What's good?

Can you please think before you speak?
If Zhuzi is the gold yuan thief, then aren't we accomplices? Otherwise, how could he take away so many cars and money by himself?
It's like a donkey kicked your head."

After being angrily rebuked by He Daqing, Yan Bugui and Xu Fugui looked at him with flattering faces, and they were also embarrassed. As for He Yuzhu, although Xu Fugui guessed the truth,
But in his eyes, no matter who said it, that group of people were the gold yuan thieves, and the matter had long been over.
"Uncle Xu, Uncle Yan, no matter what you think,

Anyway, whether in the bank or the Security Bureau, One-Eyed Dragon and his men have always said that the group was the gold yuan thief.

They got more than 1000 taels of gold that day and captured someone, which was a great achievement.

That's why he asked me to stay and drink.

Of course, if you don't believe it, you can go ask the one-eyed dragon yourself.
If you can find him, you might even get a reward from the Military Control Commission, which is like killing two birds with one stone."

After saying this with a smile, He Yuzhu threatened,

"Of course, you can also say that I am the gold yuan thief,
But when the Secret Service comes to our courtyard and puts a gun to our head, just don't regret it."

Hearing that it was the Military Control Commission and the Bureau of Secrets, Xu Fugui and Yan Bugui were scared to death.

Without hesitation, he changed his words.

"No, no, no, we all watched you grow up. Anyone could be the gold yuan thief, but the neighbors in our courtyard can't be."

Seeing that the two old coins had given in, He Yuzhu didn't bother to pay attention to them and walked forward on his own.

Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong who were following behind also scolded them.
"I say you two are really bored.
If Zhuzi is the gold yuan thief, can we escape responsibility?
When the whole courtyard has to be buried with you two for what you said, will your Xu Damao and Yan Jiecheng be able to escape?"

"You two always say that you are cultured people and look down on me, a rough and irritable old man.

I think you are just like that, you don’t have any brains.”

They would have accepted what Yi Zhonghai said, but after being scolded by Liu Haizhong, whom they always looked down upon, Yan Bugui and Xu Fugui felt that they had been extremely embarrassed.

"you!"

"What do you mean, am I wrong?!"

"Hmph! I don't want to bother with a rough guy like you. I'm going home to cook."

Seeing the two men being speechless after being confronted by Liu Haizhong and leaving in embarrassment, everyone else felt secretly happy and then strode towards the courtyard.

After lunch, He Daqing put down his bowl and chopsticks and said to He Yuzhu,

"Zhu Zi, how much money do you have? Let's go to the money exchange shop later and go to the store to buy food and coal tomorrow."

"Not much,

I bought a lot of paper and ink in the past two months, so I only have about 300 yuan left. "

As He Yuzhu spoke, he opened the space and silently destroyed the 350 million gold yuan notes and passbooks inside that were about to become waste paper.

He Daqing also knew that his son had bought a lot of paper to practice calligraphy, but it wasn't much.
"It's OK. I didn't spend it carelessly."

After resting for a while, the father and son took the gold yuan coupons and called Yi Zhonghai and others to go out and exchange them for money.

Speaking of RMB exchange,
During the entire exchange period, the Beijing Military Control Commission established 13 branch warehouses for issuing and allocating RMB, 247 collection and exchange points (offices), and more than 5000 people participated in the exchange work.

The redemption work was completed quickly within 18 days.
A total of 8.32 million yuan of gold yuan was exchanged in and 1.98 million yuan of RMB was exchanged out.

而第一套人民币最早发现于1948年12月，只发行了1元、5元、10元、20元、50元和100元6种面额的纸币，

But the mess left by Chiang was too big.
Because of the serious inflation in Daxia, the country had to issue banknotes with denominations of 1,000 and 10,000 yuan.

There are more than a dozen exchange points in Shichahai, and the closest one to the Siheyuan is at the gate of the Public Security Bureau.
As soon as He Yuzhu and others arrived at the exchange point, they saw an unexpected person.
