On the second day of the three-day period, a man with a low figure quietly entered Wenze's old house under the escort of more than ten great men.
That night, several letters were sent to several wealthy merchants in Luodu. At the same time, news from all parties continued to come, including the government mobilizing a large number of people, especially the old officials who were good at calculating; some merchants had begun to disband the child servants, and it was rumored that most of the child servants left the Han Kingdom as quickly as possible, and they seemed to have a lot of money.
However, the efficiency of transferring funds by the child servant is too low, the weight each person can carry is limited. If it is silver baht, it will be even less. If the risk is too great, if it doesn't return it, then the money will be wasted.
Therefore, in the market, the money houses in various places suddenly had a good business, but the bustling money houses were just a flash in the pan. The government's calculation order stated that the tax collection and calculation of the loans was calculated, which made every entry and exit of the money house, after the official information was learned, the flow of people gathered by the money house immediately dispersed after the official news was obtained.
The news came next about the Sili lieutenant. It is said that Dong Wohu went to the tiger's den dungeon and took two days to clean up the prisoner. As for what the vacant tiger's den dungeon was used for, everyone dared not even think about it.
While watching the development of the situation, Cheng Zongyang patiently waited for the first guest to finally wait for the last day of the declaration deadline.
The person who came was fat and big. Although he cleverly covered his face with a hood, Cheng Zongyang still recognized his identity at a glance.
It turned out that Mr. Tian came here in person, and the humble house was shining brightly
The visitor took off his hood. It turned out that Tian Rong was much more calm than his arrogance that day. However, Cheng Zongyang could not tell which one was his true face.
The meeting place between the two parties was in Yi Moyun's shop. Apart from a follower, the follower Cheng Zheng's eyes were like an eagle falcon. After walking around the small room, it fell on the only screen inside. The screen was not surprising, but a low breathing sound could be heard behind him, as if he was a maid.
Tian Rong sat down at the table and said to his followers: Go out
As soon as the follower entered the door, he looked at the screen, bowed slightly when he heard this, and retreated outside the door, his feet were like light smoke, without making any sound.
Unexpectedly, the one who met that day was Young Master Cheng, who became famous in the Jin and Song dynasties. It was Tian who was rude.
Mr. Tian, please be polite
It's not that you are polite, but I really admire it. Tian Rong said that, but his tone was not a little respectful. Instead, he felt a kind of indifference of keeping others from thousands of miles away. Young Master Cheng's move that day was really beautiful. We thought we had taken advantage of it, but we suffered a great loss. We lost it with great vision and good means.
Just luck
People have admitted that they can't say anything they want to fight and get beaten. It's all your own words, Cheng Zongyang stopped when he saw it was good and smiled: Don't mention the past. There are still many opportunities for everyone to cooperate in the future.
Tian Rong didn't come here to vent his anger. He was silent for a moment, and then said: Did you hear that Young Master Cheng is a member of the Ministry of Works of the State of Song and the head of the Baochao Bureau?
Even after inquiring about these, it can be seen that Tian Rong had done a lot of merit before coming, Zong Yang said: I didn’t bring the official certificate, if you want to verify the correctness, there is nothing you can do
Tian Rongdao: What is paper money?
Cheng Zongyang roughly explained the function of paper money, which was similar to what he said to Ju Meng. Finally, he smiled: Young Master Tian might as well treat paper money as a certificate of deposit, but the paper money of Song State was issued by the Ministry of Revenue, and the official guaranteed its effectiveness. Of course, since Song State could not provide enough deposit, our Cheng Money House is responsible for redeeming it.
How to redeemed?
This is the real question. Cheng Zongyang was excited. Mr. Tian just needs to transport the money to me, and the Cheng Money House issued equal amounts of paper money. In this way, Mr. Tian can turn a large amount of money into a few thin pieces of paper. The service will not change at all. When you need it, any semicolon in my Cheng Money House can be exchanged for money. Simply put, you can treat the paper money as an IOU.
I want to listen to the truth
Cheng Zongyang spread his hands, this is the truth, there is no falsehood
Tian Rong got up and left
Cheng Zongyang sighed secretly for the merchants in Han Dynasty, the concept of paper money was a bit ahead of the times. He could only pick up the most basic functions, but no matter how confident he was, he asked others to exchange real money for a few pieces of paper he issued, and it was easy to be regarded as a liar who took advantage of the situation.
A low cough came from behind the screen
Tian Rong was shocked and slowly turned around
A person walked out from behind the screen. Although he was not tall, his steps were steady and generous, and he was extremely imposing.
Tian Rong was surprised at first, and then wanted to laugh. He finally calmed down his expression and bowed respectfully. Guo Daxia
Guo Jie nodded slightly and said with a bit dull voice: Is Weng Tian good?
My father was a little unhesitant a few days ago, and now he is in peace. Tian Rong straightened up and said happily: I heard the rumors on the market a few days ago. My father was so sad that he couldn't get up. I received a letter yesterday and still hesitated. When I saw him today, Mr. Guo was indeed auspicious and safe. My father must be very happy when he heard this. The emperor was angry and resentful. Mr. Guo was now unharmed. It can be said that he was destiny.
I wrote the letter to Weng Tian. Guo Jie is not good at speaking. He simply said: This person can trust him.
Tian Rong turned around and said: Can the goods be discounted?
Cheng Zongyang shook his head and said: No for the time being
Where can I send 200,000 gold tills and 1 million silver tills?
Cheng Zongyang knew that Guo Jie had a great face, but he didn't expect that he had such a big face. He took a long time to talk to Tian Rong. He only showed his side and said a few words. Tian Rong offered a huge sum of 250,000 gold baht worth Cheng Zongyang even suspected that he didn't have to give him banknotes. Even if he gave Tian Rong a piece of paper, as long as Guo Jie nodded, Tian Rong would dare to accept it.
Brother Cheng, please arrange it
Cheng Zheng smiled and said: It's OK
Tian Rong raised his hand, slammed Cheng Zongyang, and decided on the deal neatly and then gave a tribute to Guo Jieshen. Before leaving, his father specifically ordered: If he sees Guo Daxia, please condescend to leave and stay for a few days.
Thank you for your kindness in Weng Tian for being a foolish person. If it weren't for the matter, I wouldn't dare to disturb me.
My father intends to settle in Qingzhou, but I wonder if he is lucky enough to go with Guo Daxia?
Guo Jie answered very slowly, but hesitated at all. Guo's father and ancestor bones were all in the Han Dynasty and could not bear to go away.
Tian Rong bowed his head and was silent for a moment, then bowed and said goodbye
Shortly after Tian Rong left, another acquaintance came one after another
Like Tian Rong, Bian Ning also had a hood covering her face, and she only brought a confidant entourage. Even her half-believing and half-doubted attitude was exactly the same as Tian Rong.
Cheng Zongyang also explained patiently for a while, while Bian Ning also hesitated and said simply: Where did Mr. Bian know about the banknotes in my place?
Bian Ning made a joke, a message from an old friend... Bian's small business can't count as much money even if he counts a stolen money. Today, he just asks it casually, he has no other intentions haha, no other intentions
Mr. Bian’s old friend is Daxia Guo, right?
Bian has heard of Guo Daxia's reputation for a long time, but I have never met him, but I heard that Guo Daxia has already...
A hoarse voice came from behind the screen, Bian Er! Come here!
Bian Ning raised his head in shock
Here! Here!
A few strange sounds came from behind the screen, like an iron chain dragging on the ground, and then the screen folded up
Bian Ning walked over slowly, first glanced at the man who was not astonishingly handsome next to him, then looked down at the big man wearing a silver mask on the couch.
The silver mask cleverly covered most of the man's face, revealing only one eye and half of his mouth and nose, Ning carefully identified it for a while before revealing a hint of incredible gaze. Old drama?
Ju Meng laughed and said: OK, I can still recognize me and say nonsense. I won’t tell you anymore. It’s my brother over there. It’s Bian Er who can do things reliable. I will save you again. You will remember this kind of friendship. I will also come out for me in my next life!
Old drama, what's wrong with you? Let me see!
Get out! Get out! Look at me joke?
I'll look at your hands!
Look at a bird!
There was a tug sound behind the screen, followed by a tearing cloth.
Ju Meng shouted: Lao Guo, hold him down! He is still holding hands and feet...
After a long time, Bian Ning came out with red eyes. He took the paper and pen, wrote a hand note, and told him another address, asking Cheng Zongyang to contact him. As for the exchanged paper money, he will temporarily hand it over to Ju Meng. When will the limelight come over, he will send someone to collect it.
Beware that in the Luodu business circle, the water is not as muddy as it is. Before leaving, Bian Ning warned him.
Most merchants in Luodu are watching the style, and Cheng Zongyang did not make a big fuss. He sent six letters before, but only Tian Rong and Bian Ning came.
The next day was October 20th. The most eye-catching day on the first day was not the government's calculation of the sacred merchants one by one, but the Lu family was reported because of concealing the land.
Compared with the efficiency of the government's previous work, the government's actions were so fast this time that the Lu family had just reported the property, and someone came out to sue the Shangshutai and immediately transferred the Wendao Grand Principal, Shaofu and Luodu Order to investigate them strictly.
After Lu Yuheng reported his property, he was taken to the place where he was sued to compare with the two sides after reporting his property. The lawsuit was true. Lu Yuheng did not even return his family, so he was sent to the border guard with his eldest son who was in business. All his property was confiscated into the official position.
Then on October 21st, just as the entire Luodu was still in shock, the Shaofu announced that he would divide half of the Lu family's property of nearly 400,000 gold coins and reward him with an unknown servant: a child servant who grinds ink beside Lu Yuheng.
This demonstration effect was sensational overnight. The Lu family, which had a million-dollar family, was destroyed. His book boy jumped from a slave to a few rich people in Luodu. After a brief shock, Luo seemed to be stabbed in a hornet's nest. He became jubilant and countless people flocked to him, showing his own head, neighbors, relatives, friends and old friends... and even strangers who heard about it.
In this chaos, the Cheng Money House, which was secretly located underground, has truly welcomed a large number of customers. As the news spreads, there are people who cover their faces and hide their identities every day. They hide in Yimoyun's shop, lit a pot of sake, and then sat down to wait patiently. Even if they meet similar people, they will not talk to each other.
Guo Jie and Ju Meng came forward, and before the Cheng family's money shop was opened, the credibility was directly overwhelmed by the reputation of Luodu. The money circulating in Luodu gathered in the cellar at an astonishing speed, so that Cheng Zongyang had to notify Cheng Zheng that the money received by the money shop was limited to gold zhu, and he refused to exchange silver zhu and copper zhu.
In this way, less than ten days after Tian Rong set up a banquet, Cheng Zheng's position in Luodu business circle took a 180-degree turn, from joining forces to forcing Jia Zhongxing to support the moon, almost every moment there were some mysterious people surrounding him.
In this way, Cheng's money house became a secret that was circulated among merchants in Luodu, but tacitly written by Cheng Zongyang, and was handed over to a customer who did not want to be named. They were carefully hidden and some were put into a secret wall, some were carried close to others, some were stuck in books, some were stuffed into the cracks in the wall, and some were taken out of the Han Dynasty by various methods to try to exchange them.
It was indeed some business worms. Qin Hui sighed: Although the court had done so, none of these merchants were kind, and they were all cunning and cunning, profit-oriented, and insatiable, and they could be called the country's worms.
Cheng Zongyang said slowly: When the crow falls on the pig, no one will say who is black.
The lord said it well. The merchants tried every means to transfer assets, and the people in the government took the opportunity to enjoy their own pockets.
Don't get me wrong, I mean: Don't just talk about others, the darkest one is your treacherous brother
Qin Hui laughs loudly
Have the carriages and horses been arranged?
Qin Hui said: A total of nine big cars were arranged, including Ha Michi, Ju Meng, Yanxiang and Guo Daxia's youngest son, each carrying 20,000 gold baht per car. The other six cars, except for the car carrying 40,000 gold baht per car, totaling 300,000
Wu Changbo was responsible for the escort. He dispatched 20 guards from Pengyi Society and Lin'an, including Mr. Lu Wu, as well as Wang Meng, a subordinate of Guo Daxia, and others secretly escorted six places to change horses on the way. He set off tomorrow morning and stayed for one night on the way. He could arrive at Wudu by the night and Chen Qiao had already obtained the token for the night pass and arranged for the person to pick him up.
Not bad, very thorough
The drama hero is about to travel far away, I discussed with the Green-faced Beast, and Mr. Ha is taken care of by Yan Xiang, and he stayed to guard the cellar.
Where is Old Man Yan?
Yan Shanchang refused to leave as for Wei Gan. Master Lu Wu meant to keep him here and see what other means to the Black Demon Sea
Old Man Yan is really a stubborn donkey... Cheng Zongyang complained and then said: Is there a nine cars for 300,000 gold coins?
Using so many cars, one is to hide it, and the other is to rush to travel lightly. If it is just for the transfer of gold baht, three cars will be enough. It will take at least three days on the road. Qin Hui said: The reason why it was arranged tomorrow is because Yi Zong was appointed as an official and was awarded the Wudu Order. He also took Wanluo Road to take the post tomorrow. The distance between the two is no more than five miles. If there is anything, it will be better for each other to respond.
Wu Du Ling? How could this position be arranged?
It is said that Yi Zong's official position was speculated by the Emperor Yu Feng's subordinates. Most of the time he made a happy career, he put him under the eyes of the prefect, so he could control him.
Strange... Cheng Zongyang muttered, but he didn't take it seriously, even if Yi went to Wu, it was not a bad thing. With his friendship with high IQ, his business in Qilifang would be more secure.
Qin Hui smiled and said: I heard from him and Yanei that when I go to the dance, I will start the attack with Qilifang.
Establish authority? Cheng Zongyang said: Tell Chen Qiao and let him cooperate with him with all his strength
Qin Hui agreed and said: The powerful and powerful people in Luodu have already started to take action. Yesterday, the Ji family sold 30,000 mu of fertile land under their name to the Sun family, only for 20,000 gold baht.
Cheng Zongyang was shocked. Is there less than one gold baht per acre?
From the perspective of subordinates, this matter is quite strange. Qin Hui said: Luodu land transactions are usually made private agreements, and both buyers and sellers are very secretive about the transaction price, and rarely disclose it. This time, Ji Ze not only made a big fuss, but Ji Ze himself also repeatedly stated that if Sun had not given up generously, these fields would not be even sold for 5,000 gold coins.
Sun Family? Cheng Zongyang touched his chin and said: Could it be the family of Xiangcheng Junsun Shou?
It's exactly
The person surnamed Ji is asking Ah Cheng Zongyang said: Are you forcing everyone to sell it at a low price?
The lord is wise!
Come on, Cheng Zongyang thought for a while, why did the Sun family have such a good appetite? It's not right, Jice kept running errands for the Lu family, why did he join the Sun family again? Even if the Lu family and the Sun family are so good that they wear pairs of pants, this is still the boss.
Qin Hui reminded: Maybe the Sun family is also running errands.
Cheng Zongyang clasped his hands and said: That's right! The Sun and Lu families must have discussed privately that the Lu family is a descendant after all, so they are somewhat decent, and they just want to introduce the Sun family as a cover...
Before he finished speaking, Ban Chao walked in quickly. As the news just came, the Xu family and the Yang family sold 50,000 acres of land under their name to the Marquis of Xiangyi for a price of 100,000 gold coins.
Cheng Zongyang and Qin Hui said in unison: Two gold trophy!
Qin Hui reacted very quickly. This was not a matter between Sun and Lu families. Most of the powerful people in Luodu agreed that Jice and Sun families would come out to perform first, and suppress the price of land to less than one gold baht, and then the main owner came forward.
Cheng Zongyang said: Are the fields traded by the Xu family and the Yang family on the record?
All are registered fields. Ban Chao said: "Why do you want to check their private fields?"
If it is not all registered fields, we can guess the amount of funds that these wealthy families can use. Cheng Zongyang said: The land registered by Luodu merchants is 2,500 hectares, and the Lu family bids two gold baht. It may be considered that the psychological price of the aristocratic families will be eaten. If half of it is increased, the funds they have prepared should be around 700,000 gold baht. If we intervene, each acre of land cannot be less than three gold baht, and one thousand hectares is 300,000
Qin Hui said: Whose name is used? If there is only one lord, a thousand hectares would be horrifying.
Cheng Zongyang had already thought of the candidate and said with a smile: You may have forgotten that Luodu has a rich man named Cai Jingzhong with a net worth of billions! Didn’t he brag about making money from the earth? The opportunity finally came. Anyway, no one knows how much money the dead eunuch has. Even if he spends money like earth and spends tens of thousands of dollars, others will only be jealous.
Ban Chao frowned and said: How to end?
You said that after Mr. Cai slapped his butt and left? It's easy to deal with. We will use his name to buy the fields and then break them down and transfer them to others. This will not be eye-catching. Besides, Lao Cai is from the palace. If he comes out to buy land, those aristocratic families will have to give in three points.
Qin Hui and Ban Chao both nodded, Cai Jingzhong is a good pretense
Cheng Zongyang said: How much money do we have now?
Ban Chao said: 20,000 gold baht were shipped from Wudu, and the current balance was 4,000 yuan, and there were 170,000 yuan borrowed from the Dow Money House, and the remaining amount after the goods were sold. Cheng Zheng himself transferred 13,000 yuan to the Public Bank to exchange for banknotes, totaling 1,170,000 yuan, and 2,600,000 yuan in silver baht, except for the 300,000 yuan in gold baht transported to Wudu, all remaining in the cellar is converted into gold baht, totaling 1,300,000 yuan.
There is only so much money, Brother Cheng doesn't need to pay back, and everything else is owed. Cheng Zongyang sighed and then ordered: Get two transactions: 150,000, 112,000, and give them to Brother Cheng
This is my partnership business with Zhao Moxuan and Tao Hongmin. The overall situation is now decided. Cheng Zheng can handle the specific details, so you don’t have to worry about it yourself.
Qin Hui replied: Yes
Two hundred thousand is used as the reserve fund of the money house, and used to redeem banknotes and allocate 500,000 yuan to Wudu. Chen Qiao arranged to transport it back to Lin'an. With the money in hand, he finally got a breath.
Qin Hui took a note of one by one
Ban Chao said: In this way, the amount that can be used is less than 240,000 yuan. Excluding the reserved money used for transactions, the remaining gold coins are less than 100,000 yuan. I am afraid it will be too short of money to buy land.
Cheng Zongyang said: Don’t worry that you don’t need to pay the banknotes when buying land
Ban Chao said: I am afraid it’s too urgent to buy land with paper money.
Qin Hui issued paper money in Lin'an and knew more about paper money. Hearing Ban Chao's doubts, he explained with a smile: It's not normal, but now the situation is very different. The gold baht we used to buy land must be saved by merchants, so we can pay the paper money directly.
Ban Chao understood and touched his forehead and smiled: I'm confused.
So it's enough to have more than 200,000 gold baht in hand. Cheng Zongyang said: Besides, there may not be no one to exchange paper money in the future. They just need to exchange one piece, and we will get a batch of gold baht that can be operated for nothing. I guess, in the next two months, we will only worry about too much gold baht in hand, so we will never worry about lacking money.
Ban received teaching
Cheng Zongyang said: What about the prices on the market?
Nearly 20% increased. Ban Chao said: The government has set a price for calculation, and if you sell it below this price, you will suffer a loss. Therefore, the market price has not decreased but increased.
Qin Hui said: I see what they mean, it is already difficult to get rid of the tiger, so I just can hold on until the end of the year. After all, it can be calculated in one day. More than 10,000 merchants in Luodu are calculating one by one, but I am afraid it will take half a year.
Short-sighted Cheng Zongyang said: They only thought about the many merchants in Luodu, but never thought about how many real rich people there were?
Cheng Zongyang stood up, we have calculated that as long as the top eight companies have collected the calculation quotas, the entire calculation will be completed, and then the 200 households with a 10,000 yuan of households with a property of 10,000 yuan will be collected. Although the number of other households is large, it has nothing to do with the overall situation. So they thought that the end of the year will be reached in two months, but in fact, they will see the finals in ten days at most.
At that time, the gold baht on the market flowed into Shaofu and the more than one million flowed into my hands. In addition, the merchants were hiding and scattered everywhere, at least three million gold baht on the market were missing. The multiplier effect of the currency was included. The circulation volume affected by these three million gold baht was probably three times more. If they don’t sell it quickly, the market will fall into a shortage of money in a few days, and it will be too late to regret it.
The authorities were fascinated by Qin Hui slowly said: Did the lord find out that it is only a few days before, and it is very different from the emperor's original intention.
Cheng Zongyang said: The emperor originally wanted to restrict the merger, but the land was transferred from the merchants to the names of the aristocratic families, and the merger became more and more intense.
Ban Chao said: According to Ban's opinion, the emperor certainly had some inadequate thoughts, but some people deliberately asked for it, such as suing a warrant. It was originally a threat to profiteering, but now it has become a shortcut to make a fortune.
Cheng Zongyang sneered: In order to make a fame, how can the edict issued in the middle of the night not be missed?
The day before yesterday, Mao Yanshou returned from Zhaoyang Palace and finally returned the inside story of the emperor's issuance of the imperial edict in the middle of the night. It turned out that Zhao Zhaoyi was whispering to the emperor. He said that he could not find his sister when he was in Luodu, so he was wandering on the streets and was insulted by merchants. The emperor felt sorry for him and issued a generous edict to vent his anger for his beloved concubine.
Cheng Zongyang walked to the window and breathed a little uncomfortable. The emperor was not a fool, but he was too self-righteous. Dongfang Manqian also saw through the emperor's nature and went away.
Now that Lu Ji is in charge of the Shangshutai, he can do something casually, and the Lu family, whose affairs are against his wishes, are the first to be destroyed after the promulgation of the order. Lu Yuheng has a lot of contact with Yuntai Academy, and the inside story here has to be thought about.
Now that the imperial edict is coming to an end, a large number of scholars leaped on the dragon gate, and some of them were specially ordered by the emperor to simply remove the official positions of different ranks, but because the order was issued several days ago, these people had to become bystanders
If the emperor is really an incompetent person, he will not be bad at least. At least he is not at ease. But his self-righteousness is like an irregular time bomb. He may blow people to pieces at any time. The original intention of the order is to suppress merchants. The final result is likely to be a middle-class family, which probably defeats more than 10,000 merchants who are currently in the city. I don’t know how many more will be left next year.
That night, several letters were sent to several wealthy merchants in Luodu. At the same time, news from all parties continued to come, including the government mobilizing a large number of people, especially the old officials who were good at calculating; some merchants had begun to disband the child servants, and it was rumored that most of the child servants left the Han Kingdom as quickly as possible, and they seemed to have a lot of money.
However, the efficiency of transferring funds by the child servant is too low, the weight each person can carry is limited. If it is silver baht, it will be even less. If the risk is too great, if it doesn't return it, then the money will be wasted.
Therefore, in the market, the money houses in various places suddenly had a good business, but the bustling money houses were just a flash in the pan. The government's calculation order stated that the tax collection and calculation of the loans was calculated, which made every entry and exit of the money house, after the official information was learned, the flow of people gathered by the money house immediately dispersed after the official news was obtained.
The news came next about the Sili lieutenant. It is said that Dong Wohu went to the tiger's den dungeon and took two days to clean up the prisoner. As for what the vacant tiger's den dungeon was used for, everyone dared not even think about it.
While watching the development of the situation, Cheng Zongyang patiently waited for the first guest to finally wait for the last day of the declaration deadline.
The person who came was fat and big. Although he cleverly covered his face with a hood, Cheng Zongyang still recognized his identity at a glance.
It turned out that Mr. Tian came here in person, and the humble house was shining brightly
The visitor took off his hood. It turned out that Tian Rong was much more calm than his arrogance that day. However, Cheng Zongyang could not tell which one was his true face.
The meeting place between the two parties was in Yi Moyun's shop. Apart from a follower, the follower Cheng Zheng's eyes were like an eagle falcon. After walking around the small room, it fell on the only screen inside. The screen was not surprising, but a low breathing sound could be heard behind him, as if he was a maid.
Tian Rong sat down at the table and said to his followers: Go out
As soon as the follower entered the door, he looked at the screen, bowed slightly when he heard this, and retreated outside the door, his feet were like light smoke, without making any sound.
Unexpectedly, the one who met that day was Young Master Cheng, who became famous in the Jin and Song dynasties. It was Tian who was rude.
Mr. Tian, please be polite
It's not that you are polite, but I really admire it. Tian Rong said that, but his tone was not a little respectful. Instead, he felt a kind of indifference of keeping others from thousands of miles away. Young Master Cheng's move that day was really beautiful. We thought we had taken advantage of it, but we suffered a great loss. We lost it with great vision and good means.
Just luck
People have admitted that they can't say anything they want to fight and get beaten. It's all your own words, Cheng Zongyang stopped when he saw it was good and smiled: Don't mention the past. There are still many opportunities for everyone to cooperate in the future.
Tian Rong didn't come here to vent his anger. He was silent for a moment, and then said: Did you hear that Young Master Cheng is a member of the Ministry of Works of the State of Song and the head of the Baochao Bureau?
Even after inquiring about these, it can be seen that Tian Rong had done a lot of merit before coming, Zong Yang said: I didn’t bring the official certificate, if you want to verify the correctness, there is nothing you can do
Tian Rongdao: What is paper money?
Cheng Zongyang roughly explained the function of paper money, which was similar to what he said to Ju Meng. Finally, he smiled: Young Master Tian might as well treat paper money as a certificate of deposit, but the paper money of Song State was issued by the Ministry of Revenue, and the official guaranteed its effectiveness. Of course, since Song State could not provide enough deposit, our Cheng Money House is responsible for redeeming it.
How to redeemed?
This is the real question. Cheng Zongyang was excited. Mr. Tian just needs to transport the money to me, and the Cheng Money House issued equal amounts of paper money. In this way, Mr. Tian can turn a large amount of money into a few thin pieces of paper. The service will not change at all. When you need it, any semicolon in my Cheng Money House can be exchanged for money. Simply put, you can treat the paper money as an IOU.
I want to listen to the truth
Cheng Zongyang spread his hands, this is the truth, there is no falsehood
Tian Rong got up and left
Cheng Zongyang sighed secretly for the merchants in Han Dynasty, the concept of paper money was a bit ahead of the times. He could only pick up the most basic functions, but no matter how confident he was, he asked others to exchange real money for a few pieces of paper he issued, and it was easy to be regarded as a liar who took advantage of the situation.
A low cough came from behind the screen
Tian Rong was shocked and slowly turned around
A person walked out from behind the screen. Although he was not tall, his steps were steady and generous, and he was extremely imposing.
Tian Rong was surprised at first, and then wanted to laugh. He finally calmed down his expression and bowed respectfully. Guo Daxia
Guo Jie nodded slightly and said with a bit dull voice: Is Weng Tian good?
My father was a little unhesitant a few days ago, and now he is in peace. Tian Rong straightened up and said happily: I heard the rumors on the market a few days ago. My father was so sad that he couldn't get up. I received a letter yesterday and still hesitated. When I saw him today, Mr. Guo was indeed auspicious and safe. My father must be very happy when he heard this. The emperor was angry and resentful. Mr. Guo was now unharmed. It can be said that he was destiny.
I wrote the letter to Weng Tian. Guo Jie is not good at speaking. He simply said: This person can trust him.
Tian Rong turned around and said: Can the goods be discounted?
Cheng Zongyang shook his head and said: No for the time being
Where can I send 200,000 gold tills and 1 million silver tills?
Cheng Zongyang knew that Guo Jie had a great face, but he didn't expect that he had such a big face. He took a long time to talk to Tian Rong. He only showed his side and said a few words. Tian Rong offered a huge sum of 250,000 gold baht worth Cheng Zongyang even suspected that he didn't have to give him banknotes. Even if he gave Tian Rong a piece of paper, as long as Guo Jie nodded, Tian Rong would dare to accept it.
Brother Cheng, please arrange it
Cheng Zheng smiled and said: It's OK
Tian Rong raised his hand, slammed Cheng Zongyang, and decided on the deal neatly and then gave a tribute to Guo Jieshen. Before leaving, his father specifically ordered: If he sees Guo Daxia, please condescend to leave and stay for a few days.
Thank you for your kindness in Weng Tian for being a foolish person. If it weren't for the matter, I wouldn't dare to disturb me.
My father intends to settle in Qingzhou, but I wonder if he is lucky enough to go with Guo Daxia?
Guo Jie answered very slowly, but hesitated at all. Guo's father and ancestor bones were all in the Han Dynasty and could not bear to go away.
Tian Rong bowed his head and was silent for a moment, then bowed and said goodbye
Shortly after Tian Rong left, another acquaintance came one after another
Like Tian Rong, Bian Ning also had a hood covering her face, and she only brought a confidant entourage. Even her half-believing and half-doubted attitude was exactly the same as Tian Rong.
Cheng Zongyang also explained patiently for a while, while Bian Ning also hesitated and said simply: Where did Mr. Bian know about the banknotes in my place?
Bian Ning made a joke, a message from an old friend... Bian's small business can't count as much money even if he counts a stolen money. Today, he just asks it casually, he has no other intentions haha, no other intentions
Mr. Bian’s old friend is Daxia Guo, right?
Bian has heard of Guo Daxia's reputation for a long time, but I have never met him, but I heard that Guo Daxia has already...
A hoarse voice came from behind the screen, Bian Er! Come here!
Bian Ning raised his head in shock
Here! Here!
A few strange sounds came from behind the screen, like an iron chain dragging on the ground, and then the screen folded up
Bian Ning walked over slowly, first glanced at the man who was not astonishingly handsome next to him, then looked down at the big man wearing a silver mask on the couch.
The silver mask cleverly covered most of the man's face, revealing only one eye and half of his mouth and nose, Ning carefully identified it for a while before revealing a hint of incredible gaze. Old drama?
Ju Meng laughed and said: OK, I can still recognize me and say nonsense. I won’t tell you anymore. It’s my brother over there. It’s Bian Er who can do things reliable. I will save you again. You will remember this kind of friendship. I will also come out for me in my next life!
Old drama, what's wrong with you? Let me see!
Get out! Get out! Look at me joke?
I'll look at your hands!
Look at a bird!
There was a tug sound behind the screen, followed by a tearing cloth.
Ju Meng shouted: Lao Guo, hold him down! He is still holding hands and feet...
After a long time, Bian Ning came out with red eyes. He took the paper and pen, wrote a hand note, and told him another address, asking Cheng Zongyang to contact him. As for the exchanged paper money, he will temporarily hand it over to Ju Meng. When will the limelight come over, he will send someone to collect it.
Beware that in the Luodu business circle, the water is not as muddy as it is. Before leaving, Bian Ning warned him.
Most merchants in Luodu are watching the style, and Cheng Zongyang did not make a big fuss. He sent six letters before, but only Tian Rong and Bian Ning came.
The next day was October 20th. The most eye-catching day on the first day was not the government's calculation of the sacred merchants one by one, but the Lu family was reported because of concealing the land.
Compared with the efficiency of the government's previous work, the government's actions were so fast this time that the Lu family had just reported the property, and someone came out to sue the Shangshutai and immediately transferred the Wendao Grand Principal, Shaofu and Luodu Order to investigate them strictly.
After Lu Yuheng reported his property, he was taken to the place where he was sued to compare with the two sides after reporting his property. The lawsuit was true. Lu Yuheng did not even return his family, so he was sent to the border guard with his eldest son who was in business. All his property was confiscated into the official position.
Then on October 21st, just as the entire Luodu was still in shock, the Shaofu announced that he would divide half of the Lu family's property of nearly 400,000 gold coins and reward him with an unknown servant: a child servant who grinds ink beside Lu Yuheng.
This demonstration effect was sensational overnight. The Lu family, which had a million-dollar family, was destroyed. His book boy jumped from a slave to a few rich people in Luodu. After a brief shock, Luo seemed to be stabbed in a hornet's nest. He became jubilant and countless people flocked to him, showing his own head, neighbors, relatives, friends and old friends... and even strangers who heard about it.
In this chaos, the Cheng Money House, which was secretly located underground, has truly welcomed a large number of customers. As the news spreads, there are people who cover their faces and hide their identities every day. They hide in Yimoyun's shop, lit a pot of sake, and then sat down to wait patiently. Even if they meet similar people, they will not talk to each other.
Guo Jie and Ju Meng came forward, and before the Cheng family's money shop was opened, the credibility was directly overwhelmed by the reputation of Luodu. The money circulating in Luodu gathered in the cellar at an astonishing speed, so that Cheng Zongyang had to notify Cheng Zheng that the money received by the money shop was limited to gold zhu, and he refused to exchange silver zhu and copper zhu.
In this way, less than ten days after Tian Rong set up a banquet, Cheng Zheng's position in Luodu business circle took a 180-degree turn, from joining forces to forcing Jia Zhongxing to support the moon, almost every moment there were some mysterious people surrounding him.
In this way, Cheng's money house became a secret that was circulated among merchants in Luodu, but tacitly written by Cheng Zongyang, and was handed over to a customer who did not want to be named. They were carefully hidden and some were put into a secret wall, some were carried close to others, some were stuck in books, some were stuffed into the cracks in the wall, and some were taken out of the Han Dynasty by various methods to try to exchange them.
It was indeed some business worms. Qin Hui sighed: Although the court had done so, none of these merchants were kind, and they were all cunning and cunning, profit-oriented, and insatiable, and they could be called the country's worms.
Cheng Zongyang said slowly: When the crow falls on the pig, no one will say who is black.
The lord said it well. The merchants tried every means to transfer assets, and the people in the government took the opportunity to enjoy their own pockets.
Don't get me wrong, I mean: Don't just talk about others, the darkest one is your treacherous brother
Qin Hui laughs loudly
Have the carriages and horses been arranged?
Qin Hui said: A total of nine big cars were arranged, including Ha Michi, Ju Meng, Yanxiang and Guo Daxia's youngest son, each carrying 20,000 gold baht per car. The other six cars, except for the car carrying 40,000 gold baht per car, totaling 300,000
Wu Changbo was responsible for the escort. He dispatched 20 guards from Pengyi Society and Lin'an, including Mr. Lu Wu, as well as Wang Meng, a subordinate of Guo Daxia, and others secretly escorted six places to change horses on the way. He set off tomorrow morning and stayed for one night on the way. He could arrive at Wudu by the night and Chen Qiao had already obtained the token for the night pass and arranged for the person to pick him up.
Not bad, very thorough
The drama hero is about to travel far away, I discussed with the Green-faced Beast, and Mr. Ha is taken care of by Yan Xiang, and he stayed to guard the cellar.
Where is Old Man Yan?
Yan Shanchang refused to leave as for Wei Gan. Master Lu Wu meant to keep him here and see what other means to the Black Demon Sea
Old Man Yan is really a stubborn donkey... Cheng Zongyang complained and then said: Is there a nine cars for 300,000 gold coins?
Using so many cars, one is to hide it, and the other is to rush to travel lightly. If it is just for the transfer of gold baht, three cars will be enough. It will take at least three days on the road. Qin Hui said: The reason why it was arranged tomorrow is because Yi Zong was appointed as an official and was awarded the Wudu Order. He also took Wanluo Road to take the post tomorrow. The distance between the two is no more than five miles. If there is anything, it will be better for each other to respond.
Wu Du Ling? How could this position be arranged?
It is said that Yi Zong's official position was speculated by the Emperor Yu Feng's subordinates. Most of the time he made a happy career, he put him under the eyes of the prefect, so he could control him.
Strange... Cheng Zongyang muttered, but he didn't take it seriously, even if Yi went to Wu, it was not a bad thing. With his friendship with high IQ, his business in Qilifang would be more secure.
Qin Hui smiled and said: I heard from him and Yanei that when I go to the dance, I will start the attack with Qilifang.
Establish authority? Cheng Zongyang said: Tell Chen Qiao and let him cooperate with him with all his strength
Qin Hui agreed and said: The powerful and powerful people in Luodu have already started to take action. Yesterday, the Ji family sold 30,000 mu of fertile land under their name to the Sun family, only for 20,000 gold baht.
Cheng Zongyang was shocked. Is there less than one gold baht per acre?
From the perspective of subordinates, this matter is quite strange. Qin Hui said: Luodu land transactions are usually made private agreements, and both buyers and sellers are very secretive about the transaction price, and rarely disclose it. This time, Ji Ze not only made a big fuss, but Ji Ze himself also repeatedly stated that if Sun had not given up generously, these fields would not be even sold for 5,000 gold coins.
Sun Family? Cheng Zongyang touched his chin and said: Could it be the family of Xiangcheng Junsun Shou?
It's exactly
The person surnamed Ji is asking Ah Cheng Zongyang said: Are you forcing everyone to sell it at a low price?
The lord is wise!
Come on, Cheng Zongyang thought for a while, why did the Sun family have such a good appetite? It's not right, Jice kept running errands for the Lu family, why did he join the Sun family again? Even if the Lu family and the Sun family are so good that they wear pairs of pants, this is still the boss.
Qin Hui reminded: Maybe the Sun family is also running errands.
Cheng Zongyang clasped his hands and said: That's right! The Sun and Lu families must have discussed privately that the Lu family is a descendant after all, so they are somewhat decent, and they just want to introduce the Sun family as a cover...
Before he finished speaking, Ban Chao walked in quickly. As the news just came, the Xu family and the Yang family sold 50,000 acres of land under their name to the Marquis of Xiangyi for a price of 100,000 gold coins.
Cheng Zongyang and Qin Hui said in unison: Two gold trophy!
Qin Hui reacted very quickly. This was not a matter between Sun and Lu families. Most of the powerful people in Luodu agreed that Jice and Sun families would come out to perform first, and suppress the price of land to less than one gold baht, and then the main owner came forward.
Cheng Zongyang said: Are the fields traded by the Xu family and the Yang family on the record?
All are registered fields. Ban Chao said: "Why do you want to check their private fields?"
If it is not all registered fields, we can guess the amount of funds that these wealthy families can use. Cheng Zongyang said: The land registered by Luodu merchants is 2,500 hectares, and the Lu family bids two gold baht. It may be considered that the psychological price of the aristocratic families will be eaten. If half of it is increased, the funds they have prepared should be around 700,000 gold baht. If we intervene, each acre of land cannot be less than three gold baht, and one thousand hectares is 300,000
Qin Hui said: Whose name is used? If there is only one lord, a thousand hectares would be horrifying.
Cheng Zongyang had already thought of the candidate and said with a smile: You may have forgotten that Luodu has a rich man named Cai Jingzhong with a net worth of billions! Didn’t he brag about making money from the earth? The opportunity finally came. Anyway, no one knows how much money the dead eunuch has. Even if he spends money like earth and spends tens of thousands of dollars, others will only be jealous.
Ban Chao frowned and said: How to end?
You said that after Mr. Cai slapped his butt and left? It's easy to deal with. We will use his name to buy the fields and then break them down and transfer them to others. This will not be eye-catching. Besides, Lao Cai is from the palace. If he comes out to buy land, those aristocratic families will have to give in three points.
Qin Hui and Ban Chao both nodded, Cai Jingzhong is a good pretense
Cheng Zongyang said: How much money do we have now?
Ban Chao said: 20,000 gold baht were shipped from Wudu, and the current balance was 4,000 yuan, and there were 170,000 yuan borrowed from the Dow Money House, and the remaining amount after the goods were sold. Cheng Zheng himself transferred 13,000 yuan to the Public Bank to exchange for banknotes, totaling 1,170,000 yuan, and 2,600,000 yuan in silver baht, except for the 300,000 yuan in gold baht transported to Wudu, all remaining in the cellar is converted into gold baht, totaling 1,300,000 yuan.
There is only so much money, Brother Cheng doesn't need to pay back, and everything else is owed. Cheng Zongyang sighed and then ordered: Get two transactions: 150,000, 112,000, and give them to Brother Cheng
This is my partnership business with Zhao Moxuan and Tao Hongmin. The overall situation is now decided. Cheng Zheng can handle the specific details, so you don’t have to worry about it yourself.
Qin Hui replied: Yes
Two hundred thousand is used as the reserve fund of the money house, and used to redeem banknotes and allocate 500,000 yuan to Wudu. Chen Qiao arranged to transport it back to Lin'an. With the money in hand, he finally got a breath.
Qin Hui took a note of one by one
Ban Chao said: In this way, the amount that can be used is less than 240,000 yuan. Excluding the reserved money used for transactions, the remaining gold coins are less than 100,000 yuan. I am afraid it will be too short of money to buy land.
Cheng Zongyang said: Don’t worry that you don’t need to pay the banknotes when buying land
Ban Chao said: I am afraid it’s too urgent to buy land with paper money.
Qin Hui issued paper money in Lin'an and knew more about paper money. Hearing Ban Chao's doubts, he explained with a smile: It's not normal, but now the situation is very different. The gold baht we used to buy land must be saved by merchants, so we can pay the paper money directly.
Ban Chao understood and touched his forehead and smiled: I'm confused.
So it's enough to have more than 200,000 gold baht in hand. Cheng Zongyang said: Besides, there may not be no one to exchange paper money in the future. They just need to exchange one piece, and we will get a batch of gold baht that can be operated for nothing. I guess, in the next two months, we will only worry about too much gold baht in hand, so we will never worry about lacking money.
Ban received teaching
Cheng Zongyang said: What about the prices on the market?
Nearly 20% increased. Ban Chao said: The government has set a price for calculation, and if you sell it below this price, you will suffer a loss. Therefore, the market price has not decreased but increased.
Qin Hui said: I see what they mean, it is already difficult to get rid of the tiger, so I just can hold on until the end of the year. After all, it can be calculated in one day. More than 10,000 merchants in Luodu are calculating one by one, but I am afraid it will take half a year.
Short-sighted Cheng Zongyang said: They only thought about the many merchants in Luodu, but never thought about how many real rich people there were?
Cheng Zongyang stood up, we have calculated that as long as the top eight companies have collected the calculation quotas, the entire calculation will be completed, and then the 200 households with a 10,000 yuan of households with a property of 10,000 yuan will be collected. Although the number of other households is large, it has nothing to do with the overall situation. So they thought that the end of the year will be reached in two months, but in fact, they will see the finals in ten days at most.
At that time, the gold baht on the market flowed into Shaofu and the more than one million flowed into my hands. In addition, the merchants were hiding and scattered everywhere, at least three million gold baht on the market were missing. The multiplier effect of the currency was included. The circulation volume affected by these three million gold baht was probably three times more. If they don’t sell it quickly, the market will fall into a shortage of money in a few days, and it will be too late to regret it.
The authorities were fascinated by Qin Hui slowly said: Did the lord find out that it is only a few days before, and it is very different from the emperor's original intention.
Cheng Zongyang said: The emperor originally wanted to restrict the merger, but the land was transferred from the merchants to the names of the aristocratic families, and the merger became more and more intense.
Ban Chao said: According to Ban's opinion, the emperor certainly had some inadequate thoughts, but some people deliberately asked for it, such as suing a warrant. It was originally a threat to profiteering, but now it has become a shortcut to make a fortune.
Cheng Zongyang sneered: In order to make a fame, how can the edict issued in the middle of the night not be missed?
The day before yesterday, Mao Yanshou returned from Zhaoyang Palace and finally returned the inside story of the emperor's issuance of the imperial edict in the middle of the night. It turned out that Zhao Zhaoyi was whispering to the emperor. He said that he could not find his sister when he was in Luodu, so he was wandering on the streets and was insulted by merchants. The emperor felt sorry for him and issued a generous edict to vent his anger for his beloved concubine.
Cheng Zongyang walked to the window and breathed a little uncomfortable. The emperor was not a fool, but he was too self-righteous. Dongfang Manqian also saw through the emperor's nature and went away.
Now that Lu Ji is in charge of the Shangshutai, he can do something casually, and the Lu family, whose affairs are against his wishes, are the first to be destroyed after the promulgation of the order. Lu Yuheng has a lot of contact with Yuntai Academy, and the inside story here has to be thought about.
Now that the imperial edict is coming to an end, a large number of scholars leaped on the dragon gate, and some of them were specially ordered by the emperor to simply remove the official positions of different ranks, but because the order was issued several days ago, these people had to become bystanders
If the emperor is really an incompetent person, he will not be bad at least. At least he is not at ease. But his self-righteousness is like an irregular time bomb. He may blow people to pieces at any time. The original intention of the order is to suppress merchants. The final result is likely to be a middle-class family, which probably defeats more than 10,000 merchants who are currently in the city. I don’t know how many more will be left next year.
