Chapter 40 Drugging
"Mingfu, the wharf in our county, we don't like to collect copper coins now, this market, I'm afraid something has gone wrong."
It is not a simple person to become the staff of the county magistrate of Yangtze County. What's more, his hometown of Tangshan County, Hangzhou, is prosperous in industry and commerce, and his vision is even more unique.
As he spoke, he took out a silver dollar and placed it on the table in front of Li Xianling.
"Big brother, what are you doing with a China Resources Silver Dollar?"
"At the moment, the dock loves to accept this."
"We can't control the affairs of the people. Besides, China Resources didn't say that it was a private coin, this thing is in China Resources, and you can return a thing for your own use, and you can still hook into the yamen? ”
"What the Ming Mansion said is that it means to go down, but it doesn't mean that it is right with China Resources. Now the emperor patrols Liaodong, and Fusang gold and silver are at his fingertips. Why don't you play the emperor in the Ming Mansion and ask for a silver coin yamen? ”
"Oh?"
As soon as Lao Li heard the spirit, China Resources had no way to make money from the market before, because no one used it, only China Resources used it for its own use. The material exchange in the southeast and northwest of China Resources, especially bulk materials, is basically settled by Kaiyuan Tongbaolai.
However, with the passage of time, the China Resources Silver Dollar used by China Resources was given a special "Jianghu status". Silk, furriers, timbermen, salters...... In the absence of official bills, such as "salt production capital", China Resources Silver Dollar is often chosen for the sake of easy carrying.
Although there are not no other silver products in the market as equivalents, because of the exquisite production of the China Resources silver dollar is difficult to imitate, even though it has worn out a lot over the years, it is still very popular in the market.
At this time, even the dogs of the salt merchants who made their fortune in Shangtun knew that a certain Jiangnan soil dog was really making a lot of money.
A silver dollar is enough to have seven or eight percent, and the rest is the spread. 10,000 yuan earns 2,000 yuan, which is much stronger to buy ** roadblock robbery.
Before the three major ship groups secretly plundered the silver mines, the amount of silver on the market was extremely scarce, and one of the few relatively stable sources of silver in the north that could guarantee output was the Fengzhou silver mine.
Because of inertial thinking, people do not notice the changes, and the mindset is still in the stage of lack of gold and silver, and do not know that in fact, the amount of silver in the market and the amount of circulation have increased greatly.
This has been a good cover for the actual production capacity of China Resources on both sides of the Yangtze River and even Dahe Workshop.
The empire as a whole is "short of money", but when it comes to a certain region, there is "inflation", and unless the major giants of the empire can get the national economic data, the time to feel the "power" of the China Resources Silver Dollar must be backward and sluggish, and the time span is in three or five years.
However, for the local tyrants who fought with the second generation of the powerful people of China Resources, they could deeply feel the difference, and even when the emperor released the "Seven Martial Seas of His Majesty", the private wharf rarely collected Kaiyuan Tongbao for docking fees, but chose China Resources Silver Dollar.
As the staff of the county magistrate of Yangtze County, it is good for the owner to be promoted to become wealthy, coupled with all kinds of grievances in Suzhou, Hangzhou, Changzhou, and Yuezhou, it is harmless to fake it.
What's more, knowing that Li Xianling has an irreversible relationship with a certain Jiangnan native dog, such things, as long as they pass through qi, it is a matter of chance.
The "Weapons Supervisor" in the emperor's hand, in order to mint the gold coins used for rewards earlier, was not used by Brother Wuhan. This scene comes again, but it is only one time and two times ripe.
It's just that this time the name is different, if the imperial court asks Wuhan to mint silver coins, it will be officially approved, and the silver dollar will no longer be a silver dollar, but "money".
As for the China Resources Silver Dollar for its own use, it is just a folk "handicraft", and the "roadblock robbery" of the China Resources is not as good as the official silver coins for several years, even if it does not end here.
"Ming Mansion is afraid of offending the China Resources?"
"That's not it, the old man's own family is in China Resources, and he also has some to do with it. Moreover, as mentioned in the old years, sooner or later the imperial court would have to take back the right to mint silver dollars. The old man moved here from Fuzhou and never cut off contact with him. But the old man still has some doubts. ”
"Please also speak up."
"Hmm."
Lao Li nodded, and then said, "Do you know that now the super-rich businessmen go to Wuhan, if they sell materials, they don't use copper coins, silver dollars, and gold coins?" ”
"Huh?"
Hearing Lao Li say this, the staff was slightly surprised, "Now there is business in Jiangdong, and they are all willing to go to Wuhan, which is really the land of Hanyang and Jiangxia, and they are all residents in the market, and most of them are willing to pay money to go out to shop." Compared with Huaiyang, Suzhou and Hangzhou, it is a lot better. I heard that in the old days, friends in the countryside went to Wuhan to get most of the silk cloth and copper coins, why did the Ming government say that it was not gold, silver and copper? ”
"The old man is not talking about ordinary transactions, but a wealthy businessman."
After that, Lao Li wrapped the robe on his body slightly, and then said, "In the old year, the West Market Flying Ticket has changed a trick, and now it is widely used." ”
Without the birth of Nanshan Xuan Paper, there would have been no later development of a series of new papers.
And some unique printing and dyeing processes, resulting in China Resources Flying Ticket can not be imitated at all. And what did China Resources actually do? For every 10,000 silver dollars minted, 20,000 equivalent tickets were printed. Although it is only a circulation between bulk materials and super-rich businessmen, the scale is already quite terrifying.
Especially for the sea ships and cargo ships entering and leaving the port wharf, a ship boss who looks dilapidated may carry a stack of China Resources flying tickets with a standard amount of 350,000 yuan in his arms.
After being reminded by the staff, Lao Li had a bad idea, and he pondered that asking Emperor Li to print some straw paper like crazy could probably make Emperor Li bleed......
At the beginning, it was Emperor Li who tasted the sweetness, but in Lao Li's opinion, except for Zhang De, a freak who didn't know what to think, normal people should be minting bad coins and printing waste paper to flying, and pit black gold and black equipment all over the world, which is the way of thinking of normal people.
Build a fart ship, build a fart road, build a new steel mill, and prepare for a school? Is this what a normal person should do?
Be all abroad.
The staff didn't know what Lao Li was thinking about, but when they saw the proprietor's expression, they thought that Lao Li was reasonable, but how did they know that what Li County Ling was thinking about now was how to make His Majesty the Emperor take drugs and drink vigorously......
"If the imperial court really printed a pile of waste paper, how many people would be ruined?"
Lao Li was a little entangled, when he was driving sheep and eating people in Youzhou, the Khitan people who died in his hands were not 10,000 but also 5,000.
But after thinking about it, compared to a certain earth dog, he is simply a moral model with two sleeves and a clean breeze, at least he didn't force the Jiangdong clan to learn to bark, right?
