Chapter 0621 Exchange
Next to the Nanxiang Reserve Bureau, there is an exchange that has only been listed for two years.
At the beginning, this exchange was the place where the large grain producers of Nanxiang and Shu delivered grain.
Later, with the inflow of woolen cloth into the market and the further expansion of the business of exchanging grain for woolen cloth, Nanxiang gathered all the transaction bills here for verification, and then the two sides took the stamped lists to deliver them separately.
Later, the Great Han Dynasty marched south, and there were more things such as beans and other things in Nanxiang's transactions.
In addition to the share of grain purchases in Nanxiang, which is divided into more than half of the grain purchases to a few designated companies, there is also a part of it that is purchased from outside through listing, which can be regarded as a warning to the few designated grain suppliers.
Later, with the development of the secret transaction with the Longyou family, people from Guanzhong and even Liangzhou came, and there were more and more things to trade.
As a result, the exchange became a platform for the trading of goods.
Regardless of the world, as long as there are goods on hand, they can be listed through the Nanxiang Exchange, and the types of goods, quantity, price, etc. are written on it.
If someone takes a fancy to it, then go to negotiate, and the one with the highest price will get it.
The same goes for those who want to come here to buy goods.
After the successful matchmaking transaction, the two parties took the vouchers given by the Nanxiang Exchange and then traded privately on their own.
Whether it is buying or selling, if you want to be listed on the Nanxiang Exchange, you must first give a certain amount of margin.
If something goes wrong and the rules are broken, not only will the deposit be confiscated, but it will also be included in the exchange's blacklist, and it will not be allowed to trade in Nanxiang from now on.
With the advantages of the workshop, the ticket, the Nanxiang Reserve Bureau, as well as the signboards of Feng Yong, the government, and the royal family of the Han Dynasty, the Nanxiang Exchange has become the most authoritative trading place in the Han Dynasty.
In addition to authority, in this era of closed news, it is also the most convenient place to inquire about goods from all over the world.
With these two great advantages that no one else has, the trading volume of the exchange is increasing day by day.
At the beginning, as long as a successful order was matched, everyone completed the transaction as quickly as possible.
Later, some people began to rent warehouses in Nanxiang, store goods, buy low and sell high.
So far, it has developed to the point of agreeing on a postponement of delivery.
For example, if someone wants to harvest a batch of grain in October, they can make an appointment in advance in the month of **.
The price, of course, is estimated by referring to the food prices of previous years, as well as this year's weather, rain, and current food prices.
As for whether the actual grain price in the market will be high or low in a month or two, whether the purchase and sale will be a loss or a profit, and whether the price difference will be more or less, it will depend on the vision of the buyer and the seller -- in fact, it is a gamble.
Feng Yong set up this exchange in order to be able to grasp the information of bulk goods in various places, and at the same time wanted to use the leverage of the market to regulate the prices of Dahan, and at the same time provide data to the Dahan Reserve Bureau in order to control the number of tickets printed.
It didn't take long for someone to come up with a futures game, which made him stunned on the spot - the wisdom of the ancients really can't be underestimated, and he can play.
Especially during this period of the Northern Expedition, with the continuous arrival of various news, the price of grain and woolen cloth was the most volatile goods.
"Fifty stones of grain, two hundred and fifty dollars per stone, to be delivered on May 16!"
In the exchange, the latest sign was hung up.
"Don't you say that the prime minister broke the Cao thief in Wudu? Why is the price of food still so high? ”
Some people are puzzled.
"You know what? Although the Cao thief in this Wudu has retreated, on the right side of Longyou, the big Han has not been completely defeated! Who knows how long this will last? It is normal for food prices to be higher. ”
The person next to him explained.
If the grain is higher than 200 yuan, it means that the people are starting to have enough to eat, and if it is higher than 300 yuan, it is a famine, and if it is higher than 500 yuan, there may be a situation where the children are eaten.
This person bid two hundred and fifty yuan per stone, because he felt that the Han would be unable to hold on to Cao Thief in Longyou, which is also the idea of a considerable number of people in Shu today.
The money here is the most valuable copper coin and five baht coin, not a straight hundred coins or anything like that.
Even if it is finally traded with woolen cloth tickets, it is also converted into five baht coins.
Fortunately, before the Northern Expedition, many families in Shu were jointly designed by the prime minister of the Han Dynasty and a certain turtle, and took the initiative to line up on the chariot - the kind whose doors and windows were welded to death.
If they can't beat Longyou, then the source of wool will be in short supply, and even the money they invested in the early stage may be wasted.
Therefore, even when the army of Cao thieves entered Wudu and threatened Hanzhong, although some people took the opportunity to raise the price of grain, some people joined forces to desperately sell grain to suppress the price of grain, and when the price was the highest, it finally did not exceed five hundred yuan.
It's just that although the price of grain is still stable now, it is difficult to push it below 200 yuan.
In the VIP room of the exchange, someone condescendingly saw this scene, and immediately smiled, "It seems that it is finally in time." ”
Then he commanded his men, "Go, put up two hundred stone of wheat, and one hundred dollars per stone." ”
No one used to eat wheat, but now it is different, it is ground into flour, and it is a high-quality grain, so although the price is not as high as millet, the price has also risen.
100 yuan per stone, compared to the current situation, that can be regarded as a low price.
As soon as this sign was put out, it was immediately taken away.
Then there is a hang-out, and then a second.
Somehow, it seems that a big grain household has come to scatter money today, as long as there is a sign in seconds, then a new sign will be hung out immediately.
After five or six times in a row, someone finally realized that something was wrong.
More than 1,000 stone of grain, how to say it, it can be regarded as a large amount of grain, just thrown out without any scruples, if this person is not a fool, then there must be inside information.
The Taigong of the sixth room of the Li family has a good granddaughter, who is a well-known Mu Niangzi in Nanxiang, so Taigong Li is also a figure with a head and face on the exchange.
He saw the strange scene in front of him, and immediately found an opportunity to go and talk, "Look at the face of the face at your feet, dare to ask your surname?" Where is the fairy town? ”
There is a way that a strong dragon does not suppress the head snake, and when the man saw that where this prince went, everyone avoided it, and he knew that the old man in front of him was a figure that should not be underestimated.
Hurriedly stood up at the moment, "There is Lao Taigong to inquire, a certain person from Longyou, your surname is Jiang." ”
"Ginger? Longyou ginger? ”
Mrs. Li was taken aback, the surname Jiang is a big surname in Longyou.
"Exactly!"
The word Longyou alone is enough to make everyone listen, not to mention the surname Jiang?
Mrs. Li's face changed, and he leaned forward and said in a low voice, "Can you speak further?" ”
Seeing that the door of the VIP room was closed, many people were in a commotion: Long You...... What happened?
After a while, a new sign was put up on the exchange, and the price of grain was suddenly pressed to two hundred yuan, and it was five hundred stone at a time.
At that moment, some people scolded, "Ge Laozi is a thief!" Still don't let people live? ”
What's more, his face swore an oath, his hands and feet were weak, and as soon as his eyes were dark, he fainted - last month, when the grain price was at its highest, it was 480 yuan, and now it has reached 200 yuan, and more than half of it has been cut.
The news soon spread in Nanxiang: Feng Langjun defeated the famous Cao thief Zhang He in the street pavilion, and nearly 10,000 Cao thieves were killed.
The more important news is that Longyou Guangwei County has fallen into the hands of the Han Dynasty, and it is impossible for Cao Thief to reinforce Longyou from Guanzhong.
Hearing these two news, some people cheered, some people cried, and even worse, they hanged themselves directly in the guest house in Nanxiang, or quietly found a place to jump into the river......
