[Chapter 399 Banknotes First Issued]

Chapter 399: The Banknotes First Issued

When the people who cooperated with Jiang Lan found that the restaurant could not make money and asked Jiang Lan to discuss, Jiang Lan showed them the contract they signed, with various terms clearly written on it. , one of which one day was to build stairs outside.

The businessmen were dumbfounded. Seeing Jiang Lan meant that they wanted to prepare everything according to the contract, they were not as easy to talk as they used to be.

If you don’t want to do it, and you can’t get your investment back, people can leave, but you can’t take the money with you, and Jiang Lan and others will be cheap for nothing.

Feng Dong’s house, who specializes in contracting the first floor, couldn’t bear it anymore, and reluctantly said to Jiang Lan: “Jiang Dong’s house, the first floor of the few Bihai Yinsha I have contracted now hardly makes any money. Heaven is waiting to lose money, can Jiang Dong’s family think of a way?”

Other businessmen who did not do well in business also echoed, and since they couldn’t threaten Jiang Lan, they had to talk softly.

Jiang Lan frowned, with a look of empathy, “Oh, it’s hard to find a way, if there is a good way, Bihai Yinsha will not be better than Shuiyunjian, let’s talk about a way… There is such a way, I just don’t know you guys. Do you want to try it?”

“Jiang Dongjia, there is a way, please tell me.” Wang Dongjia asked anxiously.

“Well, it’s actually not difficult. Since other people don’t want to go to the first and second floors of Bihai Yinsha to eat, it’s better to send them to other people’s homes, recruit more people, and keep running on various roads every day. Bicycles are good, buy a few and let the guys ride them.

Write the words on the front of the car, and let people shout while walking a few days ago. When more people know about it, they will be able to order food and let them ride back. Restaurant, do it and send it over, do you guys think it’s feasible?”

Jiang Lan kindly gave everyone an idea, and the businessmen thought about it and found that this method is really good. Go, it is naturally not as good as someone riding a bicycle and yelling.

Many people’s eyes lit up, and they were grateful and admired for Jiang Lan. It was not easy to think of such a method.

At this time, Feng Dongjia spoke again.

“Jiangdong’s house, it’s good, but there aren’t many people coming to the restaurant. Isn’t the place empty?”

After listening to Feng Dong’s house, others also found this problem. Since they can sell out, the first and second floors are free. Isn’t that wasted there?

“Ah~! Yes, it’s empty, then you can think of other ways, you can’t always be empty.

” Jiang Lan looked helpless.

“Then do it first, if it doesn’t work, you can only accept the compensation.” Some people in the crowd backed down and would rather give up the money they invested than continue to ride in. As for whether to deal with Shui Yunjian or not, it is no longer important.

The others are not doing well, but Wu Feng, who also came to attend the meeting, is in a hurry. He finally united a group of people to deal with Shui Yunjian. If they disperse like this, they will not be able to organize again in the future, which will make Shui Yunjian famous. Sheng.

He quickly discouraged: “Everyone, don’t worry, think about it again, there is no way out of the sky.”

Jiang Lan also said: “Well, I will look back and think about it carefully, and then I will have a way to discuss it with you, go first. Buy a bicycle.” The

merchants left one by one in frustration, originally planning to deal with other people’s Shuiyunjian, but now they are going to buy the bicycles from Zhang and Wang’s family.

Those bicycles are not cheap. The Zhang and Wang families did not sell well. Except for the rich people who bought one or two fresh ones, no one was willing to buy them again. The poor bicycles cost more than 100 pieces.

You can still ride in the city, but outside the city, when it rains, and the road is not good, it is better to take a horse-drawn carriage or ride a donkey.

Waiting for the crowd to leave, when only Jiang Lan and Wu Feng were left, Wu Feng said to Jiang Lan with a sad expression: “Jiang Dong’s family, I don’t know if I can still come up with the money, I want to buy a batch of silk soon, and my hands are a little tight. ”

Jiang Lan shook his head regretfully, “Wu Guanshi, the money is there, but it can’t be transferred. There must be arrangements on the Jiangnan East Road. It’s better to ask other businessmen. Three days, three more days, I can definitely think about it. Come out and solve the problem of the restaurant.”

“Alright, I’ll find someone to ask again tomorrow.” Wu Feng has no choice. He has collected too much silk recently. He collected it privately. The price is 10% or 95% of the original price. Deposit it in the bank, and prepare to live for another period of time, deposit it together, and withdraw it in stages.

The key is to get through it for a while.

When Wu Feng left with the others, Jiang Lan smiled and picked up the cold tea in front of him, took a sip, and muttered, “Just because you dare to fight with the young master? Take the silk, take it, take a look Who will suffer later.” People in the

capital came and went, and it was very lively.

There are many more animals in the zoo, and the animals that can be raised have been opened to tourists one after another. In order to ensure the freshness of tourists, the animals that arrive will not be seen immediately, but will be taken out bit by bit. .

People who have no other channels to learn about various animals still yearn for the zoo, which has resulted in the zoo’s income being much higher than that of Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan.

In addition to the cost of feeding and research, there is still money left.

Today is the day of the settlement at the end of the month. Gao Lishi brought people over to the account. When he came back, there was a team dedicated to pulling money. They came all the way to Xingqing Palace and reported to Li Longji.

“This month, I made a total of 6,000 yuan from the ticket collection and the rented booth? Well, I made a lot of money, and I have extra spare money to use.”

Listening to the data from Gao Lishi, Li Longji wrote down a A whole number, 6,000 is not much compared to taxes, but after all, there is income, and it increases month by month.

“Your Majesty, Little Treasure sent a letter saying that two sharks will be sent in a few days, and let us build a pond first, that is, where Your Majesty wants to build the lake, and use it to raise creatures in the sea first. After all, the salt in Jili Prefecture is still Not enough.

Also, Xiaobao suggested to let His Majesty open more of the royal garden, which can be opened several times a month, otherwise it would be a waste to put it there.

Collis raised two more things.

In the past, Li Longji would not agree to open the royal garden at will, which is a symbol of identity and status. Now that he has changed a lot, he knows the importance of money. If he wants to occupy more land, it is absolutely impossible without money.

In particular, recruiting conscripts is better than letting each locality raise money to recruit soldiers, which can prevent others from rebelling.

I agreed.

Seeing that the emperor agreed to two things, Gao Lishi took out some special-looking pieces of paper from his arms, six inches long and two inches wide, with exquisite and meticulous patterns printed on the back. You can feel the bumps.

Li Longji took it in his hands and looked at them one by one. Different numbers were written on them. Some were written with a hundred dollars, some with a thousand dollars, and the small ones were ten dollars. The paper was also a little smaller.

Looking at the above, the only constant word is Kaiyuan Tongbao.

“This is…” Li Longji asked, raising the paper in his hand.

“Your Majesty, this is the money that Xiaobao and Juanjuan made by people. It will be used instead of copper coins and silk in the future. It is said that there are countless craftsmen who have come up with anti-counterfeiting things. You can see the side by looking at the light. There are bumps and depressions in the blank space, and it is not the surface of the paper.”

Gao Lishi explained.

Li Longji squeezed the fluffy paper in his hand and looked at the large amount on it as a million dollars. He always felt that it was not so safe, and it was not as heavy as copper coins. He asked uncertainly, “Will someone be willing to use it? What if it’s less than ten dollars? ”

Xiaobao and cuckoo below ten coins are made, and they need to be pressed with a die, rather than cast as before. If someone wants to forge by hand, it will not be worth the effort.

As for whether anyone is willing to use paper money , This is easy to handle. Xiaobao wants to ask His Majesty to make a will. When the paper money starts to be issued, the imperial court will collect the paper money in the future. Xiaobao will also cooperate with other merchants to recognize the purchasing power of the paper money. ”

Gao Lishi said and introduced: “Your Majesty, the advantage of using paper money is not only to prevent people from making copper coins privately, but also to cancel the storage cost of silk. The main thing is that it is convenient to carry, and it is more labor-saving than copper silk when transporting. Now, there are other benefits that Xiaobao didn’t say, it’s not easy to think about.”

Li Longji held the banknotes in his hand and thought for a while, and then said: “Let Xiaobao and the others print more first, where the money is printed. Where?”

Li Longji is not stupid, he knows that printing money is unusual, and if someone prints money for fun in the future, the country will be finished.

“Your Majesty, now in Jili Prefecture, where money is printed, Xiaobao has already prepared to move the printing factory to the capital. His Majesty will find someone to guard him.”

Gao Lishi responded immediately.

“What about the collected silk? There are quite a lot of silks in various parts of the Tang Dynasty. Could it be sold to the common people?” Li Longji thought of another problem that needed to be solved.

Gao Lishi sighed at this time and replied, “Your Majesty, silk has already been sold, Yuanzhou, *** and Luo can sell it, as well as Tubo, Turkic, and Xiaobao considering cooperation, Yuanzhou and ***The two places are going to be handed over to the merchants of Jiangnan Dongdao, and other places have not been considered.”

“Jiangnan Dongdao? Bihai Yinsha?” Li Longji suddenly remembered the restaurant that opposed Shuiyunjian.

“Yes, Xiaobao said in a letter that Bihai Yinsha also belongs to him. It is not a good thing for Shuiyunjian to be a big family. It needs a competitor, but it is hard to cooperate with Bihaiyinsha to deal with the merchants in Shuiyunjian. A large part of his money was stolen, and he can only make a little money.”

Gao Lishi showed a schadenfreude expression.

Li Longji was stunned for a moment, Fang said: “No wonder, I can open the restaurant so well, I thought there was another talented person, write a letter to Xiaobao, stay in the line, don’t kill him.”

Li Longji did not doubt Zhang Xiaobao’s ability at all.

, If you want to let the person who opposes him lose all his family property, there are still people who can survive.

“Don’t worry, Your Majesty, Xiaobao has already stayed. In a few days, there will be actions on the first and second floors of Bihai Yinsha. At the same time, the third floor of Bihai Yinsha, which is adjacent to or opposite to Shuiyunjian, will also change. There is also cooperation in competition.”

“Come on, come on…”

The state capital in Jilizhou is very lively, Xiaobei and the others watched Pan’er and the two little guys turn over hard, cheer up, and do it from time to time demonstration.

The two little guys couldn’t understand what other people were shouting, and they followed suit when they saw someone turning over. Every time they turned over, they would giggle a few times. They seemed to be very interested in this kind of game.

Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan also temporarily put aside their work to accompany them to experience the warm moment.

It was not until the two little guys were tired and hungry, and were about to cry, that Xiaobei and the others stopped and found the wet nurse to feed their younger siblings.

“Xiaobao, when will you start?” Wang Juan suddenly asked something that other people couldn’t understand.

“Wait a minute. Come together when the news reaches all the banks. On the sixth day of next month, I will see who will cooperate with Concubine Wu Hui after this incident.”

Zhang Xiaobao looked at and said that he would go out and find it for himself The guards Xiaobei and others ran out one after another and replied to Wang Juan.

Wang Juan didn’t say anything more on this issue, and turned to another place: “What about printing money? How can Li Longji not be printing blindly?”

“Li Longji will not be printing casually, and he is not lacking in mind, unless it is the overall financial affairs. If there is a problem, we will deal with it by devaluing the currency. As for whether there will be people printing money crazily in the future, then we can’t control it.”

Zhang Xiaobao really has nothing to do with this matter, let alone now, it should be at other times. Printing is the same, which country has never done this before?

Wang Juan stretched, “Then wait for the sixth day of the sixth day

. If you are sleepy, go back and take a nap. Tomorrow, we will send a thousand people to go to North America to find something good for you.”

, Datang Qianzhuang suddenly posted a notice.

A total of two things were said.

The first thing is naturally banknotes. Zhang Xiaobao contacted many merchants and promised to accept banknotes. Anyone who uses banknotes to buy things will enjoy a 5% discount this month.

People who are used to flying money have no objection to this, UU reading www.sonicmtl.

com Ordinary people are confused. Can a piece of paper be spent as money?

Even if there is a promise from the merchant, one by one is hesitant, and they all want to see the effect after others change it first.

Some smart people immediately thought of counterfeiting. In the past, they could make copper coins privately, but now they can also try to make paper money, but when they saw the paper money, they were discouraged again.

It is too difficult to make. If you use a pen to draw, it is easy to make mistakes if you are not careful. You have to find the same paper and the same oil. It will take a few months to draw a picture. If you draw a hundred Consistent also works.

The problem is how to do the bumps on the money and the mark in the middle of the paper when facing the light.

Those who want to cheat temporarily suppress the thoughts in their hearts and need to improve their skills.

The second thing on the notice is the acquisition of silk. Those who have silk in their hands can come and exchange directly, but they can only exchange 80% of the money.
