Chapter 1005 Islands, Reefs and Foam

Shang Jia quietly touched a stool on the edge of the greenhouse, only to find that there was a cordon inside, and the guards were even more stringent, and the sergeants here were still wearing bright and powerful stamping cuirasses.

Between the two columns of sergeants are two thin rails, the gantry crane from a Meishan-type ship to hang down a wooden box, the box is not big, but it seems to be very heavy, two sergeants stand on the rail car, adjust the small wooden box in place, and put it in the car.

Shang Jia arched his hand to an old man next to him who was obviously also a businessman: "Uncle, what are you doing?" When does the auction start? ”

The old businessman glanced at the young businessman: "The next generation is new, right?" Stranger? To be able to get here, which adult did you go to? ”

At this time, he can't show his timidity, and it's not easy for Shang Jia to say that he just bought off the outside commander and was put in: "Hehe, the family doesn't let him be mentioned." ”

"Oh, that's the concubine...... It's the same as the old man. The old man seemed to have some sympathy, and his tone softened a little: "Now it's time to unload the goods for the official house, and the contents of the box ......."

After speaking, he quietly touched the gold signet ring on his ring finger: "This." ”

Then he touched the silver buckle on his belt again: "And this." ”

The young businessman was shocked, and went out one box after another in the big boat, and when he saw that it was not finished, this box was at least 100 catties, 1,600 taels!

The value of a box is 10,000! There are at least 100 boxes here!

The old man whispered to the young businessman: "Have you seen the copper coin mark on that box?" That is the mark of the Imperial Song Bank, these things into the vault, the bank can make the market full of treasure notes of the same denomination, this is called margin. ”

"That's why my Great Song Dynasty's treasure money is so strong, and now even the salt has been resisted."

The young businessman said: "I still think that copper coins are stable. ”

The old merchant smiled: "If the merchant seeks stability, then the profit will be thin, and the overseas Yi people like real money and silver, so now my Great Song Dynasty is a dual currency system." Domestic treasure money, foreign money, but every year there is a lot of imported money, and there is also a lot of foreign money sold. ”

"The old man can't see through the middle of this, but Sitong Bank has opened the exchange business of domestic and foreign currencies, and there is some price difference in the middle, as well as handling fees, and I always feel that it is a big business."

The young businessman said casually: "Isn't this just exchanging paper for money?" ”

The old merchant was stunned at once, the value of the treasure banknote was strong, and at the same time a barrier was formed in the customs, and the merchants of the South China Sea wanted to enter the domestic market, and when they left the customs, they had to exchange the treasure money for foreign money.

This involves an exchange rate problem, in which the Huangsong Bank took the lead, and the inconspicuous ones made profits.

Although the proportion of this profit is very small, but the scale of trade is very large, if there are 10 million yuan in internal and external exchanges in a year, even if it is one thousandth of the handling fee, it is as high as 10,000 yuan!

If you add short-term loans, credits, guarantees and other by-product products, this interest is probably even higher.

This is really paper for money, or to be more precise, it is the credit of the maritime merchants for the treasure banknotes, as well as the convenience, and the user fee that they are willing to pay.

The young man said casually, and even said the essence of the matter.

"Turning money into business, this is the top businessman......" the old man muttered: "This year's ballast is much more than last year's." ”

The young man said: "I heard that Duke Wen made a break in Hebei, saying that the circulation of treasure money had made Hebei's government affairs more difficult, and the foreign money sent back by immigrants from the South China Sea made Hebei even worse. ”

"Coupled with the overhaul of two Yellow River projects, the price of goods in Hebei is now high, and the price of rice has risen to 100 wen, making the livelihood of the poor even more difficult. It makes sense to ask the imperial court to stop the construction project and rest with the people. ”

"You're from Hebei?" The old man turned his head and glanced at the young man: "Confused! ”

The young man arched his hand: "What's going on, please ask my husband for advice." ”

The old businessman said: "The problem of Hebei is, in the final analysis, the problem of the Yellow River, after two diversions, the people withered, and the towns and towns were ruins. ”

"So it's not that the imperial court doesn't let the people rest, it's the Yellow River that doesn't let the people rest, and if you want to govern the people's livelihood in Hebei, you must first control the Yellow River."

"Now it seems that Hebei has seen the depreciation of banknotes, which is a phenomenon caused by more money and less goods in the market. If I were a Wengong, I would organize large-scale business activities, even if it was to borrow funds and goods from the Sitong firm, but also to enrich the goods in Hebei, which was full of business opportunities! ”

"The problem of Wen Gong is the old problem of the old-fashioned politicians, that is, they only know how to dig in the fields, and they think that only the peasants are the producers of the country, and the rest of the people are all consumers."

"Blindly emphasizing agriculture, suppressing industry and business, and artificially blocking the circulation of commodities are the reasons for Hebei's economic decline."

"Hebei, there is a lack of a real cadre, a cadret like Su Shaobao. It's a pity that Zhang Zhao Ergong has already made a decision, if one of the two rules Hebei, why is the livelihood of Hebei here, why is it here? ! ”

Speaking of the old man's disgruntle, judging from his words, the old man's insight is also extraordinary, and it seems that he is also the concubine of a certain family, who sacrificed his family name for the sake of the family, engaged in the business of business, and sought food and clothing for the clan.

The young businessman was attracted by the old man's words: "The old man just said that Hebei is full of business opportunities? ”

The old man arched his hand and said: "The old man Jingzhong Shanfengyuan shopkeeper Li Qi, dare to ask if the future is from Hebei?" ”

The young businessman also gave his hand: "I didn't confide in my father-in-law just now, my contemptible surname is Sheng, and my family is a small county order in Lianshui County, and I don't have a good career myself, so I have to come out to do business." ”

"I'm not familiar with Jingzhong, but I heard that there is a big opportunity in Bianjing at the end of the year, so I came to take a look."

The old man glanced at the young businessman up and down: ""Houqi Ju Fu" Shengzhi County? When you heard this, you listened to what Su Fuzi said, right? ”

The young businessman regretted it at this moment, and his intestines were blue, and he just said it casually, but he didn't expect that an article that Su Fuzi gave to his family would have a great reputation in Beijing, and he would leak all the family wealth in one sentence.

Su Fuzi heard that it is still in the Yushitai and has not been released, I, I am too difficult......

The old man seemed to know what Sheng Ya was thinking in his heart, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, everyone admires the master's reputation, besides, what kind of place is this?" Meishan Sitong! ”

"The three imperial histories that impeached the master have been sentenced, hehehe, exiled to the New Song Dynasty, and they will not be returned in case of pardon. The officialdom of the Great Song Dynasty, even if there is no such three people from now on, it is worse than Zheng Xia and Zheng Jiefu. ”

"Since there is a relationship between the master and the son, the old man may have to rely on it in the future."

"In Xia Shenglin, I have seen the shopkeeper Li, and the shopkeeper has just made a remark, which shows that he is a person with a ravine. On the ground in Mizhou, the kid's Shengchang is still a little thin, just now the shopkeeper Li said that Hebei is full of business opportunities, this ......"

"Hehehe, it's easy to say, after a while, the old man will introduce you to a few heads in Bianjing City, by the way, livestock trade, are you interested?"

……

In recent years, the prosperity of maritime trade and the improvement of transportation have made commerce thriving, and it seems that overnight, everyone has become a tide maker in the economic tide.

Some get rich, some go bankrupt, and the tragic comedy of the world is like a wave bubble on the sea, which will always exist.

However, the bubbles that you have always seen in your eyes are no longer the ones you saw last second.

Although it looks exactly the same, it seems that nothing has changed.

And the islands and reefs on the sea that are really as stable as a rock are now not in the big shed that is ventilated on all sides, but in the Fangzhi Taste Elegant Room Essence, silk and bamboo wine, dogs and horses, wearing the best silk, holding the most mellow wine, hugging the most beautiful girl, and sharing the biggest cake.

Cheng Wenying took Shi Fu with him, holding a crystal glass wine glass, which was a mellow fruit wine in the south: "Ouch Brother Wang, hehehe, I haven't seen you for a year, I'm getting more and more healthy, come and introduce you, oh I don't need to introduce, the two Gaoshi families are already nobles of the country, you should be more familiar than me." ”
