Seeing that the blind Duoxin father and son were full of nervousness, Liu Jian said to them: "Don't worry, you have to trust the imperial court." Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Marshal has already ordered that the government will collect salt from your hands, and it will not make money, but it will only be convenient for the people. ”

The old man said yes again and again, but the panic on his face did not lessen in the slightest, obviously not believing what Liu Jian said.

I don't know how long I waited, but I finally saw Director Zheng come out of the room, and several people greeted him together.

Seeing the blind Duoxin father and son looking at each other, Liu Jian asked, "Director, what price can the shop give to Fanluo for salt?" ”

Supervisor Zheng said: "If it's like the salt you sent just now, you can collect it at six cents a catty." However, if there is sediment in the salt in the future, the price will be calculated separately, and we will not accept salt with sediment in our shop. ”

The old man originally breathed a sigh of relief, but when he heard Director Zheng say that the salt with sediment was not collected, he couldn't help but get nervous again, and asked, "Supervisor, the salt is fried from the salt pond, and it is inevitable that there will be sediment, and it is not that we intentionally added it." ”

Director Zheng said: "Then you have to wash it clean, there is a lot of sediment, we will definitely not accept it, or deduct the money." ”

Seeing that his father didn't speak, the blind priest stepped forward and said, "How can you see how much mud and sand your eyes can see?" If we bring salt, the shop will say that there is a lot of mud and sand—"

Director Zheng smiled: "You are afraid that you will deliberately make it difficult when collecting salt in the shop, and we are also afraid that you will deliberately add sediment to the salt." To do business, you must not deceive each other. In this way, every time you send salt, we will take a few parts of the salt sent and dissolve it into the water, and see how much sediment is left in each catty of salt, and how about setting a dose? ”

The old man hurriedly said: "That's it, as long as there is a format, we will know how to do it!" It's best not to bully each other! ”

After speaking, he turned around and saluted Liu Lian: "The officials can think about us and lead us around, just like Qingtian parents for us!" The great grace of the court, we must remember and serve the court! ”

Liu Jian said gently: "I told the festival marshal about this matter, and the festival marshal said that you have relied on the salt pond to make some money for many years, and it is not good to cut off your financial route, so it is decided to be bought by the three divisions." With your salt, the salt of the imperial court will not be able to be transported here, and it will inevitably suffer some losses. The imperial court appeased the Zhufan, and these losses were borne by the imperial court. ”

The old man thanked the court again and again, bowed to the court, and thanked the emperor for his grace to them.

In fact, it is much cheaper to use the surrounding salt than to transport salt from Jiezhou to here, and the government has not lost anything. However, speaking to Fanluo, it must be the imperial court that uses their salt, and their own salt cannot be sold, and the loss is not small, so show their kindness.

Refining fine salt from coarse salt, although it is not a very good technique, it is still necessary to block the surrounding areas to prevent it from flowing to the party. Therefore, Liu Jian brought people to the Sansi shop, and Director Zheng went inside to test the cost by himself, and did not allow people from the Fan Department to go in to watch. As the director of the third shop, although he was not strict in the assessment of the assistant marshal's office, he instinctively did not do loss-making business, and set the price per catty at six wen, and the shop still had to make a little more or less.

decided to sell salt directly to the Sansi shop, and a big stone in the old man's heart fell to the ground, with a smile on his face.

Director Zheng said: "There is one more thing, what goods do you want to get when you sell salt to the shop?" ”

The old man was stunned: "Is there any difference in the money paid?" Most of the merchants who came to our people to buy salt used silver silk. ”

"Silver is impossible, and it is not allowed to trade with silver unless it is licensed by the Marshal's Mansion. Now the three divisions of the shop buy the surrounding goods, there are three things first, one is the money of the imperial court, then one is tea, and the other is silk. And you shall choose one of these three. ”

Hearing that there was tea and silk, the old man relieved himself, these two things are the hard currency in the Xifan area, and they are no worse than silver. However, he didn't understand the other money, and asked Director Zheng: "We also use copper coins, but they are too heavy and inconvenient to carry." There is a lot of money involved in selling salt, so it is inconvenient to use copper coins, right? ”

Director Zheng said with a smile: "The imperial court now uses paper money, and although copper coins are also used, they are only used as change. ”

"Made of paper? What's the use of that? Which will be collected! ”

Supervisor Zheng said: "The three divisions are collected." When we buy goods in our shop, except for the change that can be used copper money, all the others must use paper money printed by the imperial court, and the rest of the money is not collected. It depends on the fact that you never buy goods from us, and if you don't buy it, you can just ask for tea silk. ”

"Only collect money from the imperial court? Don't you even accept silver? ”

Listening to Director Zheng's words, several people who fell into the house felt incredible and shouted together. Although they have been accompanying the people of the Shangding tribe to run the salt pond for most of the day, they still saw some favorite goods and wanted to buy some back. How do they know that they don't have the money to buy goods from here, how can there be such a thing in the world?

Supervisor Zheng said: "Gold and silver can't be used to buy goods from the Sansi shop, you have to exchange it for money first." We have a bank next to us, and they are in the business of gold and silver shops, and they can go there and exchange money for money and buy them. ”

Several leaders of the Fan Dynasty were blindsided by Director Zheng's words, why did they come up with a bank again? What kind of business do banks do? Merchants sell goods, always afraid that the goods will not be sold, as long as useful things are collected, where there is still picking, this is not allowed! With such a big shop, how does the business work!

Director Zheng is a person who does things, he doesn't understand why these rules are made, and he doesn't need to understand, as long as he knows to strictly follow the rules. When receiving the goods, the seller can choose whether to ask for tea or silk, or he can choose the money issued by the imperial court, and it is not forced. But when they buy goods here, they can only use coins, gold, silver and jewelry, they don't accept anything, and they have to go to the bank to exchange them for money.

The core of the commodity economy is money, and as long as you master money, you will master the entire commodity economic system. Xu Ping didn't like to use coercion, so of course he had to use the three divisions to implement the imperial court's monetary system.

The purpose of buying goods on a large scale is to promote the prosperity of the surrounding commerce, thereby promoting the development of the commodity economy. Sansi stores forcibly promote paper money because many goods are only available to them and cannot be bought elsewhere.

In this era, the conditions of productivity are like this, the vast majority of people are still outside the system of the commodity economy, and most people may not be able to deal with the three shops a few times in their lifetime. Not to mention the remote place of Qinzhou, which is a slightly remote rural area in Kaifeng Prefecture, the implementation of paper money has little to do with them. As long as the imperial court did not need to use money to collect taxes, there were very few places where they used money in their daily lives. Is it true that a rich person means a rich person?

But those who have the ability to spend, the goods they need that are considered luxury goods in this era, can only be bought from the three shops. The three shops only collect money, not even gold and silver, so they have to find a way to make money.

The desire for money is the driving force of the development of the commodity economy. Wherever the Sansi shop opens, it will be the engine of the local commodity economy, forcing people who want to buy goods from here to make money, and Qinzhou, the extreme place, is no exception.
