After reading the list of articles, Ren Ze was extremely remorseful. After a while, the money was gone. Don't think that casually doing a business of 600 guan is a great deal, and don't look at the 600 yuan in your eyes. Ren Ze had more than 20 partners on this trip, buying goods from the Western Regions, and some of them were still in arrears. Sell it smoothly, buy the right goods, and ship it back to the Western Regions to sell, which is the real money. In the end, it is still unknown how much money will be obtained, and the six yuan is not a small amount for Ren Ze.

Seeing Director Teng standing aside with a smile, Ren Ze said angrily: "No wonder Director Gao didn't say it just now, just to earn my money?" You have such a big business, how can you be greedy for my little profit! ”

Director Teng arched his hand: "The staff is wronged, it's really not for your six dollars." I thought, we have to move the money from the treasury to the outside, and it takes a lot of effort, so why bother? It's really that I have different responsibilities from the senior supervisor, he only finds the money, and can't ask about the rest. The merchants who come to us are all doing big business, and there are many secrets, how can they be asked and asked? ”

Ren Ze was a little unconvinced, but he had already suffered a secret loss just now, and he didn't dare to be smart anymore. said to Supervisor Teng: "Needless to say, Senior Supervisor only needs to send money, and Director Teng only collects money." If I pay six times, I can put the money in the treasury again, right? ”

Director Teng said: "It should be like this. But this kind of trivial thing doesn't need me to be a supervisor. Director Gao felt that he owed something to the outside staff, so he specially called me out and explained the rules here to the outside staff, which was regarded as a gift to the outside staff. ”

Ren Ze said angrily: "What, are there many rules for doing business here?" ”

Director Teng smiled and nodded: "Yes, there are many rules in Tanglong Town. - But rest assured, these rules were set by the yamen in order to facilitate the trade of merchants, and they are only good for you, and there is no harm. Just like exchanging money tickets for cash just now, the owner of the money has changed, and the money should have been taken out and deposited again, and these six times are supposed to be spent. In order to facilitate trade, the yamen allowed money bills to be delivered, and there was no need to pay any more money. Like this kind of rule, there are many more in Tanglong Town, I know, save a little everywhere, it's not a small amount. ”

Speaking of this, Director Teng smiled mysteriously: "The outsiders are all doing big business, and they can easily drop thousands and hundreds of dollars, and they will drop a little residue casually, and the money will come out in a few times." The more you know about the rules, the more you save. ”

Ren Ze was startled, and after thinking about it, he understood what Director Teng meant. The storage fee of 10 wen has always been charged, which is actually very low, and Yizhou's Jiaozi also charges 30 wen. But the number is too large, and if one is not careful, the money will be gone. In Tanglong Town, it is a pity that you and your partners can live a few happy days with a few dollars, but they are lost in vain.

Everything in Tanglong Town uses cash as a measure of value, which facilitates trade. However, the transaction amount is too large, and there is no counter, so it is actually impossible to trade normally. Director Teng said that it was for the convenience of businessmen, and it was indeed true.

Looking at Ren Ze's expression, Director Teng smiled and said, "Please use tea indoors outside the staff." ”

Ren Ze thanked him, and followed Director Teng into the room next to him. The little prince seemed to understand whether he understood or not, and followed in.

The guest and host sat down, and Director Teng said: "The rules on the white wall just now, the outsiders can already see it clearly. These rules were actually designed for merchants in the Central Plains to attract them to do business here. They come thousands of miles away, where can they bring cash? Many of the shops were not merchants who did business, and they did not have goods to sell. They can deposit money in Bianliang, Tokyo, and Xijing Henan Prefecture, and take the money ticket to Tanglong Town to buy goods. In particular, jewelry and jade merchants go to the border areas to buy a lot of goods, and the prices are cheap. ”

Ren Ze nodded, Cui Zhizhao, who bought his own coral just now, thought that was the case. They deposited the money in the cabinet in Bianliang, and exchanged the money tickets here to buy goods directly, which is really convenient. Especially these light goods, there is no shipping cost, and there are too many benefits to buying here. It's a pity that only the merchants of the Central Plains have this convenience, and the Fanhu merchants outside the country can't enjoy this convenience if they don't have a cabinet shop locally.

Ren Ze didn't expect that Cui Zhizhao was not buying goods for his family. This time, he was jointly commissioned by several shops, and the guild came forward with a few partners. There are hundreds of raw materials at every turn, and no matter how rich Tokyo City is, there are not many such big families.

In order to make Tanglong Town a blockbuster, Du Zhongxiao made a lot of preparations. With the help of the Economic Strategy Division, the three divisions of the capital, and the government offices of several big cities in the Central Plains, a whole commercial chain was created. A few money savings cabinets are the core, and the whole chain is strung together with money.

In this commercial chain, Hedong Road is equivalent to using self-made iron money to directly exchange the copper money of the Central Plains, so the Economic Strategy Division is the most active. Money and grain along the border are a big problem, and there is not much physical money in circulation in this chain, but in the form of goods. The three divisions lacked cash, so they actively cooperated. The burden of money and food has been reduced, and the transshipment has also benefited the company and provided various conveniences. Only when the yamen of several systems work together and the central and local governments cooperate with each other can this matter be done.

The Volcano Army has inconvenient transportation and remote places, without these conveniences, how can the merchants of the Central Plains be willing to come? Without a large number of merchants in the Central Plains, who did these merchants sell the goods they brought? Relying on the Volcano Army, it only has a few capitals.

Thinking that he was stained with the light of the Central Plains businessman, Ren Ze's anger finally disappeared. Speaking of which, Tanglong Town is really interesting, it actually gives the same treatment to the merchants and the merchants of the Central Plains, and it is worthy of being a place of free trade.

Seeing Ren Ze's face calm down, Director Teng said: "There are many conveniences for doing business here, so I won't talk about the small ones, and it will be clear after a long time of being outside." I'll talk about a few big places to the outside world. ”

Speaking of which, Teng asked Ren Ze to drink tea. After drinking, he continued: "Merchants have come here for thousands of miles to sell goods, and they have brought a lot of goods. Although there are many businessmen in Tanglong Town, it is inevitable that they will not be able to sell for a while. It is inevitable that the goods in the market will be at different prices for a few days. Wouldn't a businessman who can't sell his goods feel anxious when he sees that he can't sell his money and can't sell it when he sees that there is a profitable business? ”

Ren Ze said: "Thousands of miles of business, this kind of thing is always inevitable, what can be done?" ”

"There is a way. When you encounter this kind of thing, you can go to our cabinet, use the goods as collateral, and we will issue vouchers. ”

Ren Ze laughed when he heard this: "I thought that with the goods as collateral, you could borrow money." ”

Director Teng shook his head again and again: "Our cabinet is full of Da Song's money, what's the use of lending money to you?" But you can take our vouchers and go out and issue debts. We have a special place for merchants in the city to subscribe to your bonds. They may buy your bonds with silver and gold, or with treasures, or in any other place, with money where you sell them. You take their money and go into business. ”

Ren Zeqi said: "There is still such a thing? What if I take the money and never come back? ”

"Aren't there any goods that have not been sold? Then the only way to pay the goods to the person who bought the bond is to lose or earn, and each has a destiny. It's just that before the return, the goods are sold, and they must pass through our cabinet shop, so as not to take the money away from the people who stay here. ”

Ren Ze listened, and his eyes lit up. The most fearful thing for traders is to sell the goods to the locality, the market is not good, and the goods cannot be delivered. Ren Ze stayed in one place for the longest time, for more than two years, before he sold the goods, such as closing the ghost gate. It is much more convenient to be able to issue bonds with collateral of goods. When the market is bad, a few people are left to guard, and the rest take gold and silver to sell other goods.

In this way, if you do business in Tanglong Town, aren't you no longer afraid that the goods will not be sold? As long as the goods arrive in the place, they will sell directly and then do the next business, this kind of thing will be exciting to think about. By doing this, you can make several times more money.

After thinking about it carefully, Ren Ze asked carefully: "It is naturally excellent for the cabinet to do this, and it is convenient for many merchants. Director, listen to what you mean, the convenience that Tanglong Town provides for merchants is more than that? ”

"More, more." Director Teng took a sip of the cup. "For example, we have our own channels to provide customers with the most sought-after goods in the city, high prices and low prices. - However, this is not something that every guest can know. ”

Ren Ze smiled knowingly, he knew that there was a reason why Director Teng was so kind. "So, how do you know?" ”

"Let's get a member." Teng said. "We have an Octagon Club in the cabinet shop, where rich and noble people get together to talk about how to do business and make money. As for what business is easy to do in the city, it is a gift from our cabinet. ”

Huiheshe was the most common form of commerce at this time, popular in the Great Song Dynasty and equally popular in the Western Regions, both of which were handed down from the Tang Dynasty. The most common ones are guilds, and there are all kinds of temporary chambers of commerce. The most typical ones are the coastal areas of Fujian and Zhejiang, where it is too risky to go to sea to do business, and most of the villagers join the union and make money together. If you are shipwrecked, many people can afford to lose. Once you make a successful return, everyone earns money together.

Ren Ze is no stranger to this, but listening to Director Teng's meaning, these eight parties will be a little different. Asked Director Teng: "I don't know what to do with this member?" ”

"If you save 3,000 yuan in our cabinet, members can give it away, and there will be endless benefits at that time."

Ren Ze shook his head when he heard this: "If you don't hide it from the supervisor, if you deposit three thousand yuan in cash, you will have no capital to do business." ”

Supervisor Teng said: "It's okay, pay ten yuan a month, or you can be a temporary member, as long as you renew the money every month." ”

Ren Ze calculated that if he could get the information that Director Teng said, ten times a month was actually not much. If I was careless just now, the money would be gone. Tanglong Town is full of thousands of businesses, and where you listen to an ear, it is worth dozens of times.

Seeing that Ren Ze was a little moved, Director Teng said again: "Ten yuan a month, and the rest is nothing more than the expenses for outsiders to get together to eat and drink, not a lot of money." But as long as you seize an opportunity, maybe it will be a big business of thousands of yuan, and you will consider it outside. ”
