Chapter 52: Shocking the Rich
In this year, the token system was chaotic, and the currency was not uniform. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoSome people use copper coins, but you also have to distinguish who made it. Some people have silver, but they have to weigh it specially, and in places where commerce is not developed, they even have to barter, and the transaction is very inconvenient.
Although everyone is accustomed to keeping a big bag of silver in business, inconvenient is inconvenient.
If you exchange it for treasure money first, the speed of checkout can naturally be greatly accelerated. Moreover, when everyone spends the banknotes in their hands, there will always be a feeling that money is not money, and there is no frugal mood when spending gold and silver.
Li Yan briefly introduced the function of the exchange point, and Tokugawa Yorixuan nodded understandingly.
This is indeed a very practical thing, after several years of promotion, Japan has also heard of it. The expedition company can spend it, and everyone recognizes that the treasure money is money.
Especially when he heard that it was not possible to buy things with silver, he had to use treasure money, Tokugawa Lai Xuan coughed lightly, took a gold ingot, and exchanged it for a hundred yuan Daming treasure banknote.
After the opening was completed, Tokugawa Yoshinobu finished exchanging the treasure banknotes, and hundreds of people began to pour in behind him.
It's just that this first level has attracted a lot of discussions.
"You can only use the treasure money of the Ming Dynasty? Can that piece of paper be used for money......
"The silver was given, only to get back a pile of scraps of paper, which is annoyingly tight!"
"To change, or not to change?"
"Hey, those guys are familiar......
……
When everyone heard that only treasure money could be used here, they couldn't help but be suspicious. After all, Edo is not a place that has been publicized for a long time and has been constantly endorsed by the Ming Dynasty, so whether the treasure money can be used or not, although some people believe it, but some people don't believe it.
At this time, Tokugawa Yoshinobu took the lead, and it seemed that someone followed.
Stepping forward were a few wandering samurai.
It is true that only a wandering samurai has both courage and such shabby.
True, the wandering samurai, although they did not have money, they had swords. In many places of some grades, there are also wandering samurai who want to eat and don't want to die, eating overlord meals. Chivalry is forbidden by martial arts, relying on a body of martial arts and a katana in his hand, and a group of samurai who no one knows can shout, these wandering samurai are everyone's headaches.
"Shopkeeper Erniang......" A samurai walked to the counter and stood still, his body was straight, and as soon as he spoke, he was patted on the head by a guy who looked like a leader next to him.
"If you don't learn something that doesn't have skills, what kind of shop is the second lady? Don't you see someone's nameplate, you have to call the waitress lady! ”
"Oooh...... The waitress lady ...... "The wandering samurai in front touched his head and smiled, "Let's exchange some treasure money......
"How many people are transferred?" The beautiful little lady on the counter was also amused by the two samurai who were a little restrained and a little alive.
At this time, another samurai walked into the hall, and when everyone saw it, it was Maruhashi Tadaya.
Although Maruhashi Tadaya was just an ordinary samurai, as a son of the Kusu school of martial arts, he also had a little reputation in Edo. Especially after Yui Masayuki's dojo began to recruit children again, he gradually gained a little prestige in Edo.
At this moment, I saw Maruhashi Tadaya looking at the two wandering samurai in front of him, laughed, and said with a disdainful gaze: "Oh, the arrangement of fate is really wonderful." Could this person in front of you be His Excellency Yoshihiro Iida? It's been a long time. Why, we came to the Friendship Department Store today? ”
"It turned out to be you...... Is there anything wrong with Maruhashi-san? "Yoshihiro Iida is obviously the leader, but looking at Maruhashi Tadaya's eyes on the other person, he also understands that Maruhashi Tadaya recognizes both of them. But the other person was obviously of a humble status, and Maruhashi Tadaya directly ignored it.
"Well, naturally, there is nothing special for the time being. It's just a surprise to see a friend in a place like the Friendship Department Store. Speaking of which, you may not believe it. This friendship department store is really a department store. Not only can you buy the most famous stainless steel plate armor in the Ming Kingdom, but also all kinds of expensive and gorgeous, exquisite and comfortable clothes. There are countless and many categories of goods. In such a place, I have prepared a full fifty taels of silver, hoping to buy some gifts for my future husband as a bride price. It's just that it was a surprise to see you guys coming. Maruhashi Tadaya said, and everyone in the audience couldn't help but comment on it.
"It's this Yoshihiro Iida, I heard that he became a wandering samurai five years ago. He went all the way to the Ming Kingdom, and finally became a slave of the townspeople. Unexpectedly, it is back today. ”
"That Iida Yoshihiro should be his disciple, the master was a wandering samurai five years ago, I really don't know if I can learn martial arts in the past five years......"
"What did Maruhashi Tadaya say just now? Fifty taels of silver, I didn't even dare to buy it in the Friendship Department Store, this place is really so prosperous? ”
"But he boasted that it was the most prosperous place in Edo. If it really has everything, then fifty taels of silver is really not enough......"
"It looks like Maruhashi-san and Iida-san don't deal with each other......"
……
The wandering samurai obviously also had grievances, and with fifty taels of silver in his hand, a huge sum of money that ordinary wandering samurai would never see in his life, Maruhashi Tadaya obviously found an opportunity to be ruthless.
"It seems that the Satsuma clan gave Maruhashi Sanfa a lot of severance pay, fifty taels of silver, and it is indeed a lot to buy a lady who marries a beautiful lady in a department store." Iida Ryohiro said leisurely: "Disciple, you were worried that you wouldn't be able to save the money to marry a lady after following the company in the past few years. Now that I think about it, I don't have to worry about it. ”
"What do you mean by ......?"
"Coincidentally. Didn't the brothers get fake a while ago? After thinking about it, he simply prepared a bride price for these brothers under his hands. Redeem all the money you have for the teacher! As soon as Iida Ryohiro spoke, he brought a bit of emphasis in Liaodong Han.
But this obviously does not prevent everyone from seeing what Iida Yoshihiro has done clearly.
I saw Iida Yoshihiro's apprentice answer the order loudly, and directly threw the blanket behind him directly on the table.
Soon, bags of yellow and white shiny things fell out.
Seeing these things in front of them, countless Edo scholars, official samurai, and wandering samurai who passed by couldn't help but hold their breath.
"Gold!"
"Silver!"
"That's a lot of gold!"
"Is it possible that the gold of a table, that bag, is it all gold?"
"A few outsiders...... These gold and silver can be exchanged for a total of 1,000 yuan, dare to ask if they are all exchanged? The crisp voice of the little lady at the counter interrupted everyone, and it also brought a gasp.
