Datang Royal Money House is now completely established in Datang.

Whether it is the use of gold and silver coins, or the issuance of deposits and loans, the acceptance is already very high.

However, for a long time, regardless of spring, summer, autumn and winter, regardless of wind or rain, the Datang Royal Money Bank, which has never been closed, has a rare notice to close early in the afternoon today.

"Shopkeeper Wang, these gold nuggets and golden sands have all been moved to the vault, but it may take a few days to assess the gold content of these gold nuggets."

In the underground vault of the Tang Royal Money Village, Wang Fugui looked at the big iron door that had just been closed, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

This time, the Gewu Academy brought back so much gold, so it was naturally moved to the Tang Royal Money Village as soon as possible.

Whether it is gold nuggets or golden sand, they are not very directly circulated.

Besides, it's not as safe to put it in the vault as it is to put it anywhere else.

"You don't need to evaluate all the pieces, just take a sample to confirm the gold content and give an estimated value. This work must be fast, His Royal Highness the King of Chu is still waiting for the results of our assessment to give you a reward. ”

"Shopkeeper Wang, I heard that twenty percent of the amount of this gold will be used to reward the sailors who go to sea, is it true?"

"Of course it's true! His Royal Highness the King of Chu had set this rule before the fleet went to sea, how could he modify it at will because of the relatively large amount of gold he brought back? Besides, in the words of the prince, gold itself is not wealth, and only by letting these things circulate can real wealth be created. ”

Wang Fugui was in a good mood today, and he gave a rare explanation to others.

However, he apparently wasted his efforts.

In the eyes of most people, gold is wealth.

……

"Lord Wang, everything has been arranged. However, these rewards, with so many gold and silver coins issued at once, there is not much left in the bank. ”

Wang Fugui stood beside Li Kuan and expressed his worries.

As the actual person in charge of the Datang Royal Money Village, Wang Fugui still has a good understanding of the situation of the Qian Village.

Although the money bank has stored a lot of gold and silver coins in the semicolons in various places, it is still very stressful to take out the gold and silver coins corresponding to 200,000 taels of gold at once.

"I arranged for you to go to the printing workshop to get the silver ticket, have you done it?"

Li Kuan did not directly answer Wang Fugui's words, but asked about other things.

Due to the rapid development of Datang business in recent years, the demand for the flow of large amounts of capital is also very high.

Although there are already gold coins, the value of the currency is already very high for ordinary people.

However, for some merchants, it is actually a little inconvenient to have tens of thousands of transactions at every turn, and if you want to prepare silver coins.

Especially when you are going to a foreign country, you can carry a large amount of silver coins at all times, and the security and convenience are not very high.

Don't look at the Tang Dynasty is now a unified dynasty, but some mountain bandits or something, it is impossible to completely disappear.

Therefore, including the East China Sea Fishery and Northwest Trade, we hope that a new way will emerge that can make everyone's large-value transactions more convenient and safe.

After Li Kuan heard about this, he immediately thought of the silver ticket.

After this thing began to appear in the Song Dynasty, it has been circulating in the land of China for nearly a thousand years, and it naturally has the value of its existence.

As for paper money, this step is too big, and Li Kuan has not yet considered it.

"Basically, the first batch of samples has been made, and tomorrow I will come over with the shopkeeper of the printing workshop to explain it to you."

Wang Fugui definitely attaches 200 percent importance to the things arranged by Li Kuan.

That's why he's in the right position.

"You've seen all of them, haven't you?"

"I've seen it. One hundred, five hundred, one thousand, the three fixed amount of silver tickets in the early stage are very exquisitely made, and the anti-counterfeiting methods you specifically mentioned are also reflected. I have to say that this silver ticket is really a good thing, and my subordinates can imagine how happy those merchants in the east and west cities will be once they have these silver tickets. ”

Wang Fugui deals with a bunch of merchants every day, and he himself manages many business affairs in the Chu Palace, so he is naturally very clear about the problems faced in the process of large-scale transactions today.

If this kind of silver ticket can really be circulated, then it can immediately solve the urgent needs of many merchants.

"If all kinds of problems have been solved, then now these students who have returned from going to sea should use them first. A reward of at least one million dollars in one breath can solve many problems with a silver ticket. ”

With the current business reputation of the Tang Imperial Bank, Li Kuan is not worried that the businessman will not be able to accept the silver ticket.

Now let the crew of the Gewu Academy try it first, and there will be no risk.

Even if a few people are worried, at most they will immediately use it to buy something.

Retreat, no one dares to retreat!

"Lord Wang, we have another way to use. That is, all merchants purchase materials from our workshop, and once they exceed 100 yuan, they must use silver tickets, otherwise we refuse to trade. ”

Wang Fugui's move is not a new trick.

However, it has to be said that the effect should be good.

Who made the various workshops of the Chu Wangfu now occupy the leading position in the Tang Dynasty's commerce.

"The specific process, you come to check, this king only looks at the result. Now Datang Royal Money has more than 50 branches in various places, and the next step is to strive for every state capital to have our money bank, as for the scale, it can be adjusted according to the actual situation, but there must be. ”

In fact, according to Li Kuan's idea, it would be ideal if every major county had a bank.

However, according to the current commercial development, there are no businessmen in many counties, and only a money bank in the state capital can basically meet most of the needs.

Blindly rolling it out, it is easy to be exploited by others, and the cultivation of talents cannot keep up.

"My subordinates understand! By the end of this year, the number of our Datang Royal Money Houses will exceed 100, and next year it will exceed 200, and we will strive to spread all over the states the year after next. ”

Wang Fugui made a promise as if he was a military order.

……

The crew of the Gewu Academy was very excited today.

Datang Royal Money has counted and confirmed the gold that everyone brought back from Australia, and now there is finally an accurate result.

And Li Kuan said before that 20% of the income will be used to reward the crew, and it will be cashed out today.

Therefore, early in the morning, the crew came to the gate of the Datang Royal Money Village and lined up in a long line.

Even Li Geng, Li Yixie, Zhu Yin, and Zhu Tong are no exception.

All the people on the Kakumono Academy, from the captain to the sailors, all had a share.

Of course, it is impossible to distribute equally.

Many people think that equal distribution is fair.

Not really.

Big pot rice is often the most unfair.

"Brother Li, how much money do you think His Royal Highness the King of Chu will reward us?"

Li Yixie is not the kind of rich man who feels ashamed to talk about money.

He had a rough idea of the value of the gold that the fleet had brought back.

When comparing the taxes collected by the city, it has already been roughly weighed.

Now it's just a matter of the Tang Dynasty Royal Money House to confirm the purity of the gold.

"I don't know, but it's definitely not a small amount."

Li Geng heard some rumors, and knew that the amount of his reward might break through some people's imagination, so he naturally didn't want to discuss it in the team.

After all, sometimes the idea of not suffering from a small number of people but suffering from inequality will always surround people's hearts.

"At the beginning, the crew followed His Royal Highness the King of Chu to the Wa Kingdom, and the value of the gold and silver they brought back was not as good as ours this time, but the reward they received was the worst, and it was more than a hundred, and now we have fewer people and more wealth, and everyone's reward must be more generous."

Yang Qiwa, who was beside her, had a lot to say about this matter.

It was also the second time he had participated in such a large-scale reward collection.

It can be said that Yang Qiwa's mood is both calm and excited now.

Calm is relative to others, he has a good idea of the scale of the reward this time.

He was excited because he probably knew how much he could get, and it was so large that he couldn't calm his heart.

Wealth is moving.

Especially this kind of legitimate huge income above board.

He plans to buy a big yard in Chang'an City at that time, take A-Niang and her sister from Dengzhou, and then marry a daughter-in-law, and live in Chang'an City in the future.

Of course, it is necessary to go to sea when it is time to go to sea.

Without the sea, Yang Qiwa feels that her life is not perfect.

"The king's shopkeeper is here!"

"It's time to start giving rewards!"

"Why don't you see gold and silver coins moving out?"

In the crowd, there was a slight surge.

However, no one with a brain in the water jumped out to make trouble at this time.

"Entrusted by His Royal Highness the King of Chu, today I am responsible for distributing the rewards to all of you for this voyage. Now, according to the names I have recited, come to me one by one to receive the reward. Due to the relatively large amount of rewards this time, with a total amount of more than 800,000 yuan, our Datang Royal Money Bank specially launched a silver ticket. This silver ticket can be exchanged at any Datang Royal Money House without charging any fees or any other formalities, and it can be exchanged entirely with the ticket. ”

Before handing out the money, Wang Fugui must first briefly introduce the silver ticket to everyone, so as not to think that they were playing white slips there for a while, just sending them a few useless pieces of paper.

"This silver ticket was personally designed by His Royal Highness the King of Chu and arranged for craftsmen to use special craftsmanship to make it. After you get the silver ticket in a while, I will introduce you to the twelve anti-counterfeiting schemes on the silver ticket. ”

Wang Fugui knew that he had said a thousand or ten thousand sentences, but none of them had any effect in lifting Li Kuan out.

As long as Li Kuan is pressing there, even if some people still have doubts in their hearts, they will hold back.

"All right, now everyone is standing where they are, and those who hear my name come and receive their reward."

Wang Fugui didn't talk much nonsense, and directly began to distribute rewards.

"Li Geng!"

Unlike the prize that draws the difference first, Wang Fugui issues rewards directly from the largest.

"Come, this is your reward, count it yourself!"

Before the reward was issued, Wang Fugui had already arranged for the number of silver tickets, and now when he saw Li Geng coming, he just gave him his share.

And when Li Geng took over a pile of papers, he was also full of doubts in his heart.

Is this a silver ticket?

Just such a piece of paper can be exchanged for gold and silver coins?

His Royal Highness the King of Chu doesn't need to fool himself, right?

With all kinds of doubts, Li Geng picked up one of the "papers" and stood next to Wang Fugui to take a good look.

"A thousand kans!"

The beautifully crafted paper has a prominent inscription on the upper right and lower left corners, and a large "1000" written in Arabic numerals in the middle.

Just such a piece of paper is worth a thousand silver coins, a hundred gold coins?

Even if Li Geng trusted Li Kuan very much, he couldn't help but have countless questions in his heart.

"Don't dwell on it! Whether this silver ticket can be used or not, you can go directly to the money bank to exchange it yourself, or go to the treasure cabinet to buy some things, and you will know if it will work. ”

Wang Fugui glanced at Li Geng and continued to read the next name.

More than 200 people have to be distributed by him one by one, which will take a little time.

"Li Yixie!"

Accompanied by Wang Fugui's voice, Li Geng began to count the number of silver tickets in his hand.

One, two, three, four, five......

The more Li Geng counted, the more surprised he became.

A silver ticket is a thousand yuan, and it is a bit much to share the amount yourself.

It took two minutes, and Li Geng counted twice before he could count clearly.

Fifty sheets!

This number far exceeded his expectations.

Originally, he thought that if he was rewarded with 10,000 yuan, even if Li Kuan was very generous.

I didn't expect there to be 50,000!

"What are you doing!"

When Li Geng came back to his senses, he found that Li Yixie was also standing beside him.

"This ...... This reward...... Isn't it a little too much? ”

Obviously, Li Yixie also knows how much reward he has received.

As for how to use these silver tickets and whether they can be used, this question is not something that needs to be entangled now.

"You are the highest-ranking of the Gewu Academy, and naturally you have received the most rewards. Don't worry, this time, even the smallest crew member can get a thousand yuan, so you can boldly carry it into your arms. ”

Wang Fugui called his name while talking to Li Geng and Li Yixie beside him.

That is, several of them with relatively high status, after receiving the reward, still dare to stand aside and not leave.

The others got to the back, and the crew walked away immediately after collecting it.

"Second brother, I think Pingkangfang's recent business is probably going to become prosperous. The tooth shops in various workshops also have the opportunity to make a wave of quick money. ”

Zhu Tong looked at the silver ticket in his hand and was also very satisfied.

His Royal Highness the King of Chu is even more generous than he imagined.

After the news of this reward spread, it is estimated that the next time they go to sea, all the students of the academy will rush to go, right?

After a hard trip, I earned back the money of other people's lives.

How many people are willing to miss this desperate opportunity?
