Chapter 34 There is money in the hand, and there is no panic in the heart

Others, such as the water similar to making tea, were a little hot, and were smashed on the head and face by Concubine De's bowl of hot tea. King Song, who has been used to being domineering since he was a child, treats the palace maids who serve him to rest, and bites a piece of green and purple all over his body, almost every day. I heard that within a few years of the Song king's departure from the palace, he changed the history of several princes.

There is a long history who heard that he did not stop the king of Song from riding a horse, but the king of Song fell off the horse and injured himself, and was directly assigned to Qianzhong Road. Those who can be sent to the prince's mansion to make a long history are all two jinshi who came out of the imperial examination, and they all suffered such a big crime in the Song Palace. What's more, if it's a slave of oneself, isn't it even more inappropriate for others to look at?

If he hadn't spent all his savings since entering the palace, he would have borrowed a lot of silver from a few of his fellow villagers. walked through the original eunuch door of the head of the Wende Palace, and was transferred to the Wende Hall as a small sprinkler eunuch. I guess I have already handed over my life to Concubine De's palace, or the palace of the Song Dynasty.

What's more, this prince heard that he has been listening to Xue Xuan for eighteen years. Who knows if he will sprinkle all the anger of the captivity all these years on his own minions. These masters are all smiling tigers, and turning their faces is as fast as turning a book, so it's better to be careful.

Seeing that this eunuch looked respectful in front of him no matter what he said, Huang Qiong could only shake her head and smile helplessly. He also knows that the concepts that are already ingrained in the hearts of these people are difficult to change in a short period of time. didn't say much, just urged him to change his clothes as soon as possible and go out with him.

In the past, when I left the palace, I spent most of my time in the barren mountains and mountains. Even if they do enter the city, most of them are in the outer city. Luoyang City, which is the best place in the world at the moment, has basically never seen the most prosperous inner city, Huang Qiong. And in Luoyang City during the day, even if it is an outer city where displaced people are gathered, Huang Qiong has not seen many opportunities.

Since this time his own emperor Lao Tzu allowed himself to recruit some slaves. It would be a shame not to take this opportunity to find someone available and go shopping. He hasn't said anything in the palace all these years, but in fact, his heart is about to go crazy.

As for letting this guy change his clothes, it's because the eunuch clothes on this guy's body are too obvious. Coupled with the eunuch's unique male duck voice, others knew at a glance that he was from the palace. I wonder if others will avoid it like a snake and scorpion, so what's the fun of shopping like this?

This time out of the house, it is the first time for Huang Qiong to be leisurely, she can be free in broad daylight, and take a closer look at this best place at the feet of the Son of Heaven, and it is also the most prosperous Luoyang City in the Great Qi Dynasty today. In particular, it was the first time he had seen the inner city where the hedgehog gathered various official offices and the mansions of large and small officials.

What the official office of this era looks like, Huang Qiong has no interest. What the official's mansion looks like, Huang Qiong is also not interested. What he wanted to see more was what the streets of ancient China looked like. He didn't believe the scenes of the ancient streets in the TV series in later generations.

However, after coming out of the mansion, he found that the Luoyang City at this time was quite neatly planned, at least in the inner city. No matter how big or small the streets are, the pavement is paved with stone slabs or stones, not the dirt road you imagined. On both sides of the streets of the inner city, there is actually a complete drainage system.

The inner city is not only quite well built, but also looks very prosperous compared to the outer city that I have seen before. The streets of the inner city are lined with shops, restaurants, inns, pawnshops, grain stores, silk shops, antique shops, money houses, and shops that buy and sell all kinds of rare treasures, almost one after another.

For restaurants and inns, Huang Qiong naturally has no interest. But when it comes to antique shops, his interest is not ordinary. In the few antique shops that passed by, almost all of Huang Qiong's family went in. It's a pity that there aren't many things in his eyes.

The few bronzes that barely catch the eye are basically fakes or high imitations. It cannot but be said that the antique fakes of this era are much more real than the imitations of later generations. At least the counterfeiters will not just look at a few ancient books and make them out of thin air, as later generations did. If it weren't for the fact that later generations were specialized in selling antiques, even Huang Qiong would have been fooled.

The only thing that really catches the eye is a few flying white books that are called the authentic works of Taizong of the former Tang Dynasty by the store. It's just that although the store swears to assure, these words are the authentic handiwork of Tang Taizong, and the seal on it is also a personal treasure of Tang Taizong. But from the strokes, Huang Qiong can still judge that this should be a high imitation of the daughter of Tang Taizong and Princess Jinyang.

Although it is not written by Tang Taizong himself, it is also a rare masterpiece in calligraphy. Huang Qiong thought about it, and after some bargaining, she still bought it. Huang Qiong's hands are now quite loose, except for the money allocated by Emperor Lao Tzu to Neiyin and Yulu when he left the palace. Before leaving the palace, his mother gave him a full 20,000 taels of silver tickets.

Although the currency circulation in this era was mainly based on money, silk fabrics were also regarded as auxiliary coins. As a currency, silver taels are not so widely circulated. After all, China is a country short of silver, and silver is only used as a high-value currency, which is usually carried when large settlements are made.

In this dynasty, silver taels were generally only distributed as a spar in the sanglu. When ordinary officials distribute their salaries, they are settled in silver and money. Because the price of silver is stable, the army's salary is generally distributed in silver taels to stabilize the morale of the army. As for private circulation, it has always been dominated by money-making.

Just like Huang Qiong went out of the palace this time, his emperor Lao Tzu allocated 10,000 taels of silver from the inner treasury. The cash he really got was only three thousand taels, and the rest was converted into money and pulled to his house in a cart. According to the law of Daqi, one tael of silver is converted into two coins, and every 1,200 wen is converted into money. Seven thousand taels of silver were converted into money, which was more than fourteen thousand.

Of course, because the overall limitation of silver and silver, under the situation that the private circulation is still mainly to make money, it is still inconvenient to go out to do business. Let's say a northern merchant goes to the south to buy tea. It takes 10,000 pieces of money, which means that 12 million pieces of money are needed.

Such a large amount of money, even if it is transported by a large car, it takes more than a dozen cars, which is inconvenient and unsafe along the way. And with such a large amount of money, even if you use silk that can replace money, you have to have dozens of horses. You also have to use a cart to pull it, not to mention, once the silk is damp or damaged, the value will also drop greatly.

Where there is a need, there is naturally a market. In the early years of the founding of the People's Republic of China, the king of Guilin, who had done business all over the world, together with the seven princes of the founding of the country, set up Wuwei Qian Zhuang and adopted the silver ticket system. When you need to carry a large amount of money, you only need to deposit the money into the semicolon of Wuwei Qianzhuang and receive one or several silver tickets equivalent to the nature of deposit receipts, which can be easily carried and traded.

This Wuwei Qianzhuang, advancing with the Qi army, has opened almost every state and county in the jurisdiction of Daqi. The money bank is widely distributed, and you can deposit and exchange it when you go there, plus it has a good reputation and is easy to carry, and there has never been a matter of arrears. The silver tickets issued by Wuwei Qianzhuang can be circulated in almost all the territory of Daqi.

Even now, the officials in other places are issued in the form of the bank's silver bills. At the end of each year, the household department deposits a sum of silver or money to the head office of Wuwei Money Bank in Luoyang. At the beginning of the second year, local officials went to the local Wuwei money village with the license issued by the imperial court when they took office, which was equivalent to the salary card of later generations, and received their own silver according to the imperial court system.

With the nationwide semicolon, good exchange reputation, plus low absorption and high release business methods, as well as a confidential way that never leaks depositor information. Especially in terms of the good relationship network of the government, this Wuwei money bank has become the largest money bank in Daqi, and it is also the most powerful money bank.

The annual profits brought to the Guilin County Palace, as well as several other descendants of the founding princes, are unimaginable. Especially the seven families have declined, and only by relying on the merits of their ancestors, can they have the descendants of the founding princes and uncles who are maintained by Yulu. Almost all rely on the large annual dividends of the money bank to maintain the daily life of spending all day and drinking.

Although with the passage of time, a lot of money banks have appeared in various places one after another. But what can be compared with this Wuwei money village, at least not yet. And even if these money banks are established and do business, they basically have to look at the face of Wuwei money bank.

When each money bank was established, it had to deposit a sum of 3,000 taels of silver into Wuwei Bank, and as long as the cash was not a reserve, it could get a ticket to enter the money bank. The silver tickets used can only be purchased from Wuwei Bank. There is no other reason, without the right to exchange the silver tickets of Wuwei Qianzhuang recognized by Wuwei Qianzhuang, it is impossible to take over the business.

You can't even redeem the silver ticket of Wuwei Bank, which means that you have not been recognized by Wuwei Bank, who knows if you are reliable? What should I do if I can't exchange the money when I need cash when I deposit it? When it comes to the production of your silver tickets, who can guarantee that they will not be fake?

The most important thing is that your bank's semicolon is not as large as that of others. If people don't give you the right to exchange, they don't recognize the circulation capacity of your silver tickets, and your silver tickets can't be opened at all. Unless you have that much money, you can also open money to every corner of the country. Otherwise, there is no place to redeem your silver ticket, who wants to use your silver ticket?

There are two kinds of silver tickets in this Wuwei bank, one is that it can only be exchanged for cash in the money bank in its own system. One is that as long as there is a rich place, whether it is a semicolon of Wuwei Money Village or not, it can be redeemed immediately when you meet. Before Huang Qiong left the palace, what his mother gave him was the silver ticket that was circulated in Wuwei Qianzhuang and cashed at the meeting, which was equivalent to the UnionPay card and gold card of the later bank.

These silver tickets can not only be exchanged for the required cash in any money bank in Luoyang. It is the twenty-fourth road of the Great Qi Dynasty, and any money bank in each state and county can be exchanged for sufficient cash. Even in Beiliao, which is outside the customs, it can also be exchanged for cash.

Although I don't know where my mother got so much money, judging from the silver ticket for herself, she is still a high-level VIP customer of the bank. But Huang Qiong, who has been practicing with her mother since she was a child, knows that there has never been a shortage of money in her mother's hands. Although she had never seen her mother buy any big things, Huang Qiong at least knew that her mother was not short of money.

The money allocated by the old man, plus the money allocated by the household department in advance, plus these silver tickets given by his mother. The current Huang Qiong is basically a nouveau riche, so she can also manage some idle things. Just like when he went out of the inner city and was about to go to the population market in the outer city, he met the man who sold his body to bury his father, Huang Qiong reached out and wanted to take care of it.
