Chapter 112: Financial War I
Cheng Wancai queued up until dark, and finally got the silver for Baihuahua. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info He took the money and ran to a tobacco house with joy.
Walking into the smoke house, a guy had already introduced Cheng Wancai, an old acquaintance, into the inner room.
After lying down on the comfortable big kang, Cheng Wancai discharged a silver nugget that weighed two or two: "Boss, come with a pot of cigarettes, and good tea and snacks!" ”
After a while, the guy came up with a tray, and in the tray was a small bag of Eight Flags special offerings, as well as a cigarette gun and tea and snacks. The guy put the tray down and beckoned, "Master Cheng, please use it slowly." ”
Cheng Wancai was about to pick up the cigarette gun and the Eight Banners special offerings, and enjoy the cloud-spitting fog and fairy-like enjoyment, but found that the change that was put in the tray and retrieved was neither shredded silver nor copper coins, but a few banknotes!
"Little Er!" Cheng Wancai shouted.
"Master Jun, what are your orders?" The guy stopped and turned his head.
"What's going on? Lao Tzu gave white silver! What did you get back? Cheng Wancai pointed to the banknotes in the tray and roared angrily.
The guy bent over with a smiling face and said: "Master Jun, the small one is just an errand runner, and it is the shopkeeper who asked the small one to find the banknotes, where does the small one dare not obey?" ”
"Call your shopkeeper!" Cheng Wancai shouted angrily, "Lao Tzu queued up all day, and it was easy to exchange the banknotes for white silver!" You're good! As soon as he changed hands, he gave Lao Tzu banknotes! ”
"Master Jun, I'm really sorry, our shopkeeper is very busy, and he doesn't have time to see you." The guy said.
Cheng Wancai said angrily: "Do you know who Lao Tzu is? Lao Tzu is an officer and soldier of the Fengtai battalion! Today, you either call the shopkeeper, or you will exchange the banknotes for silver! Otherwise! Hum! Lao Tzu turned around and called his brother to go! ”
The man's face changed, and he sneered: "This military master, don't be embarrassed!" Our shopkeeper can you call it casually? Even if you are here, you have to give our shopkeeper some face! Do you know who owns this smoke shop? In the capital, who would dare to open this smoke house without a backstage? ”
The two quarreled endlessly, Cheng Wancai was angry, and he was about to fight when he twisted the guy. At this moment, only someone shouted: "Stop! ”
Cheng Wancai looked at it fixedly, and saw a young man wearing a black jade melon skin hat standing in front of him, wearing a silk horse coat on the outside, a purple robe on the inside, and a folding fan in his hand.
"What? Want to make trouble on the territory of the Auxiliary Prince? The flag man sneered.
Seeing the flag man, Cheng Wancai was like a deflated ball, and said in a low voice: "This adult, it's not easy for a villain to make money, and the military salary that is easy to get is still paper money." The villain queued for a day to get the cash, but the second little man found the banknote for the villain again. ”
After all, Cheng Wancai is an old customer, and people who do business will not drive away their customers, this flag man saw Cheng Wancai's tone softened, so he said politely: "The dragon banknote of the Great Qing Dynasty is issued by the imperial court, and it is guaranteed by the Shanxi ticket number." Our guy has found you banknotes, you can come back another day, and the banknotes can be used as well! ”
For several days in a row, the credit rating of the Daqing Bank, which was jointly established by the Shanxi Ticket Number, the Daqing Household Department, and the Daqing Internal Affairs Office, was quite high, and the green battalion soldiers who had paid their military salaries could exchange cash for the same amount of silver. It's just that there are too many people who come to exchange, many people have waited for a few days and have not been lined up, and there are always some people who can't wait, so they tentatively take the Daqing dragon banknotes to buy food and other daily necessities.
Merchants did not refuse to accept paper money, so in the capital, paper money quietly flowed into the market along with silver and copper plates, and became one of the currencies in circulation.
With the issuance of banknotes, first from Zhili, and then to Shandong, Shanxi, Shaanxi and other places, banknotes gradually spread. At first, people refused to use paper money, but the imperial court forced the use of it, and the credibility of Shanxi ticket numbers was extremely high, so the Qing Dynasty dragon banknotes were slowly accepted.
……
Nanjing's former Dongge University scholar's mansion, Qian Qianyi and Shi Kefa once lived here, and now this is Wang Yu's temporary residence. In Wang Yu's study, there were several Qing dragon banknotes on the table, which were sent by Chen Yonghua.
Liu Qi sat opposite Wang Xinyu, looking at the Daqing dragon banknotes on the table, Liu Qi said slowly: "Unexpectedly, Tartar has also begun to issue banknotes!" In this way, the lack of silver in the tartars will be alleviated, which is very bad for us. ”
Wang Xinyu picked up a Daqing dragon banknote with a denomination of one or two silver, and looked through it in his hand: "The banknotes issued by this Tartar are not bad in workmanship, and it is really difficult to carve out such a beautiful engraving for the Tartars, and also use color painting, plus seals, the signature of the shopkeeper of the Shanxi ticket number, and the signature of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, it is really not easy for ordinary people to imitate." ”
When Liu Qi heard the word imitation, he was immediately inspired: "It is not easy for ordinary people to imitate, but if we want to imitate, it is simply easy!" ”
Nanyang Company's banknotes, whether it is papermaking technology, or printing technology, or anti-counterfeiting technology, are far above the Qing Dynasty dragon banknotes issued by the Qing court and Shanxi ticket numbers.
"Yes!" Wang Xinyu stroked his beard gently, "The issuance of this Qing dragon banknote by the Tartars is simply self-defeating!" It's so easy for us to copy their banknotes! Imitation is really not a problem to fake it! ”
Liu Qi said: "But what we imitated, it is easy to deceive ordinary people, but it is not so easy to take counterfeit banknotes to Shanxi ticket number to defraud silver!" The banknotes of this Tartar have a number on them, as long as they issue the Shanxi ticket number to carefully check the number, you can see the authenticity. ”
"Who said that we imitate counterfeit banknotes to go to Shanxi ticket numbers to exchange for silver?" Wang Xinyu smiled, "The counterfeit banknotes we counterfeit can flow into their market!" As long as a large number of counterfeit banknotes enter their market, their banknote credibility will be affected, and the banknote will depreciate! In addition, we can exchange counterfeit money for their real money, and let people exchange real money for silver! If we do this, they will be in chaos, and a large number of people will run on the money! When the time comes, the silver of the Shanxi ticket number will not all flow into our pockets! Hum! The eight Jin merchants, this is your own death! ”
Liu Qi said: "In fact, my subordinates also estimated that the Tartars issued paper money, which will definitely gradually depreciate the banknotes, so as to take away a large amount of silver from the people!" ”
"We're going to make their banknotes crash a little faster!" Wang Xinyu sneered, "And we can also get a lot of money from them!" ”
