Everyone understands this truth, the reason why they don't say it is that no one has come up with a solution, and the coins are all built by the imperial court, you say that you want something more convenient, will the imperial court agree? You said you want to replace it with something else, and someone has to recognize it, right? Nothing, how can you talk about changing?

But recently, someone raised this question, and the object of the proposal was the plenipotentiary minister of the imperial court, Su Hou Ye, the famous Su Hou Ye, and now Su Hou Ye took the initiative to ask us a question, it must be that there is some big move in the imperial court, and he intends to make changes to this, so the businessman with a keen sense of smell immediately realized what the reason for Suning to say this is.

Suning showed a satisfied smile, waved his hand to let the merchant sit down, and then said loudly: "Don't hide it from you, what this Lang Jun said is what Ben Hou wants to say to the big guy today, copper coins are bulky, silk cloth is easy to break, it is not safe from south to north, and it is still unsafe when you come to Guangzhou City to trade, a cart of spices can only be bought with many carts of silk cloth and copper coins, it is not easy for people to buy, and it is not convenient for people to sell."

You've all experienced it, from the return of the fleet to the end of the transaction, two days is considered a few, and some of them take three to five days to settle, and then go back to their respective homes, how troublesome should it be? Ben Hou thought of a way, reported to the imperial court and got approval, now tell you, everyone can also discuss and discuss, if you feel that there is anything dissatisfied, just say it, we can change it!

What about this method, that is, in the two cities of Chang'an City and Guangzhou City, each set up a money warehouse, the so-called money warehouse. It's a warehouse with money, and the money here wasn't there when it was built, it was empty and there was nothing when it was built, but the function of this money warehouse is to let you put the money you want to use for business in it, so that there is money in this money warehouse. ”

Suning paused. Some businessmen didn't say anything when they saw Suning. couldn't help but ask: "Su Hou, isn't what you said the same as what you didn't say?" Why do we put our money in that bank? ”

Suning smiled and said, "Don't worry, Ben Hou hasn't finished talking yet, what's the hurry?" Ben Hou means yes. Why don't you put this money in the bank? You can take it out. For example, a merchant from Chang'an came to Guangzhou to do the spice business. You have to bring a lot of money, hundreds or thousands of times are to be brought, the copper money is not enough to add silk cloth and other cloths, how many things are full, how many big cars and most people's teams can ensure safety? Right!

It's also true that you're going to come back after the transaction, how difficult it is, and you're going to be afraid of robbing and killing people by a strongman, isn't it? But with this money warehouse, it's different, if you deposit the money in the money warehouse in Chang'an City, you can go south to Guangzhou empty-handed, and when you get to Guangzhou City, you can take out the money you saved in Chang'an City from the money warehouse in Guangzhou City and do business! It's the same after the transaction, put the money in the money warehouse in Guangzhou, and then go back to Chang'an empty-handed, and then take out the money, how convenient and safe, isn't it? ”

Suning said with a smile, and suddenly most of the audience quieted down, looking at Suning in a daze, Suning knew that they didn't understand, so Suning planned to tell the matter to the end: "What does this mean, that is, the imperial court learned about the suffering of maritime and land transactions, and deeply felt that this situation was not conducive to you getting rich, not conducive to more people benefiting from it, and not conducive to the increase of taxes in the imperial court, so the imperial court agreed to handle this matter."

Vertical and horizontal department, this Hou is the left servant of the vertical and horizontal department, the money warehouse of Chang'an City, it is handled by the vertical and horizontal department, the vertical and horizontal department is the government, this money warehouse is the official office, absolutely safe, absolutely trustworthy, will not be greedy for you a penny, and Guangzhou City, also in the name of the Guangzhou government to open this money warehouse, the government handles, the government protects, absolutely safe, absolutely effective.

What about you, put the money in this money warehouse, and then, the money warehouse will send you this kind of bill, the paper money designed by Ben Hou himself, with a detailed description of the amount of money you have deposited, you take this kind of paper money, go to Guangzhou, find the money warehouse in Guangzhou, give this paper money to the management of the money warehouse, and then according to the amount on this banknote, you will save the money in Chang'an City, and then take it back to you.

What is it? You only need to put your money in the money warehouse, and you only need to take these banknotes with you, a piece of paper, how light? How convenient is it to store? Even if it's stolen and robbed, it doesn't matter, when you save money, the manager there will ask you to leave a slogan, and when you take the money, you have to say the right slogan, haha, it's like a fine joint, right? That's the safest way to do it.

As long as you don't know the slogan, even if you hold the banknotes, you will not be able to get the money, but will be quickly arrested, and the source of the banknotes will be strictly interrogated, and then you will find you and return the money to you, even if you do not come to withdraw the money for ten years, the money is still saved, and the money warehouse will not move until you come to withdraw the money.

In this way, whether it is when trading, or when going home, when you come, as long as you bring enough banknotes, and there are enough guards, you can do it, when you used to trade, you can trade a cart of copper coins and silk cloth, now just a piece of paper, calculate the price, give him the banknotes, by the way bring some change, banknotes have many denominations, consistent money banknotes, five money banknotes, ten money banknotes, twenty money banknotes, fifty money banknotes and one hundred money banknotes.

This is also for the convenience of your transactions, the buyer takes the paper money to pay, and the seller goes to the money warehouse to take the paper money in exchange for money, and then transports it away, eliminating the need to come and go, how convenient is this? How safe is it? Plus the slogan, without the slogan, even the consistent money can never be withdrawn, with the slogan, all the arrears can be withdrawn! The most important thing is when you go back and forth between the north and the south, it's too much more convenient, what do you think? ”

Suning held six banknotes in his hand, six freshly printed banknotes of different denominations, and handed them to those who had not yet reacted, and they took the banknotes and looked at them carefully. At first glance, they were shocked, how could there be a portrait on this banknote? Who is that?

Seeing everyone's puzzled eyes, Su Ning said with a smile: "The portrait of the person on this is the portrait of His Majesty and Emperor Taishang today, in order to show the support of the imperial court for this matter, and also to show that this matter is guaranteed by the credibility of the imperial court, with the reputation of His Majesty and the Emperor Taishang, to guarantee that your money will not be lost in the slightest, and also to respect these banknotes and avoid people with bad intentions from counterfeiting banknotes." Those who forge the portraits of His Majesty and the Emperor. Definitely a capital offense, and no one dares to do it.

That being the case, can you believe that this move of the imperial court is definitely for the convenience of you and the convenience of business. It is also possible to guarantee that these banknotes are absolutely safe. Definitely effective. The imperial court will never deceive you, and you can definitely trust us and the money warehouse. Believe in paper money, what do you think? ”

The person holding the banknote at the bottom suddenly became cautious, and the look in his eyes was not right, and he became extremely religious, and then began to talk to each other, whispering, and buzzing into a mess.

Later, Suning learned that when Suning's construction was passed into Li Erma's hands, Li Ermaxi couldn't cry or laugh, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that this would help the emperor's prestige spread and help the emperor's reputation grow, and printing his father's portrait might also show their "father-son love" and help the stability of the Tang Dynasty, but the matter was so big that he had to discuss with the courtiers, and the courtiers' reactions were particularly intense.

There are only a few big guys who agree, and they occupy a part of it unsteadily, and most of them are asking for Suning to be cut right, they feel that this is simply a big rebellion, talking nonsense, and printing the emperor's head on the coin, it is simply a bastard thing, and finally Fang Xuanling thinks that this can not only make the maritime and land merchants feel the majesty of the sky, but also make them abide by the law, and dare not do anything to desecrate this coin, which is more conducive to the management of any business.

And in this way, maybe more people can know the appearance of the emperor and the emperor, feel cordial, and feel respected, the emperor and the emperor on this portrait are not much different from the real person, obviously a lot of work has been done, in this way, there may be an unexpected effect.

The left and right servants expressed their absolute agreement, and the two bigwigs agreed, so that many wavering officials also agreed, and many advocates and opponents also began to waver, and finally another bigwig, Wei Zheng, stood up and listed five big benefits and ten small benefits to agree with this, and then listed ten hidden dangers to question, and finally his personal opinion was to support, because he had also seen businessmen carry dozens of carts of copper coins and silk cloth around to trade, which was extremely difficult.

In recent years, the number of commercial taxes has been rising, even more so after the development of shipping, only a few months later, the history of Guangzhou Thorn on the above requirements to expand the city of Guangzhou, and do not need the imperial court to pay, so we can know that Guangzhou's commercial tax has grown to what Cheng dù, the imperial court can no longer treat commerce as nothing, but should face up to commerce, realize the huge tax brought by commerce to the imperial court, but also recognize the hidden dangers of commerce, but not to mention anything else, just talk about the strategy of this banknote, I feel that Suning has worked hard to study, He agreed, of course, what the result is, and we will have to see the subsequent developments.

Wei Zheng has always been black-faced, no one is close, but when he encounters something unpleasant, he must stand up and criticize violently, and the matter of this banknote also made him make a positive and positive evaluation, the government and the opposition attach great importance to Wei Zheng's opinion, Wei Zheng agreed, then there must be a reason and necessity for approval, people are the bigwigs of the province, if the emperor orders it, it is obvious that this resolution can be passed.

Therefore, although there are still people who advocate beheading Suning, Li Ermaxi still promoted the passage of this resolution, and the issuance of banknotes was allowed, and the request to add the portraits of the emperor and the emperor was also approved, and later Suning learned that the reason why Li Ermaxi allowed this was mainly because he painted himself very handsome and handsome on the banknote, and he was very handsome, very heroic, so that he looked at it himself and became more and more satisfied, so he had a good impression of this banknote......

Special paper, thickened paper, and then two-color printing, exquisite, very artistic, at first glance is from Suning's handwriting, Li Erma Xià feels that this can already be regarded as a work of art, and can also be attached to the role of publicity, if it is widely circulated in the future, his appearance will definitely be known to everyone, and then be worshiped by everyone.

At this time, Suning didn't know that the reason why Li Ermaxi allowed this was because he painted him very well, and he didn't know that the fierce controversy in the court and the thrill of almost not being allowed was allowed, Suning felt that as long as the court allowed it, it could be released; Of course, this is not enough, without the approval of the merchants, this move will not work, so it is mainly up to the opinions of the merchants.

"Su Hou, I would like to ask, if I deposit money in this money warehouse, do I need to pay some fees? Or is it completely free of charge, so I don't need to spend extra? A merchant stood up, bowed, and asked about the question that was now on everyone's mind. (To be continued......)
