Guo Song asked several more stores, but they all replied with one answer, he didn't charge new money, he even took out ten new dollars to buy a few pieces of sandalwood, and the store refused without hesitation.

Guo Song's expression gradually became severe, even the market that is closely related to the lives of the people in the West Market does not accept new money, so the East Market will not accept it, and by extension, the wine shop Qinglou, or other vendors, will they accept it?

The government has repeatedly stated that the new money can still be used, but the people do not admit it, Guo Song feels the severity of the situation, if it is not solved as soon as possible, this problem will cause chaos sooner or later.

Guo Song then came to the winery, he unexpectedly saw his eldest sister in the Meishou wine shop, Guo Ping's mother and daughter have moved out of Zhang Lei's house, Guo Song bought them a ten-acre mansion in Chongrenfang, Guo Ping didn't like it, although it was clean and elegant, it was very ungrounded, surrounded by green trees, and it was difficult to see a pedestrian for half a day, not to mention the shops and wine shops, etc., there were none.

Guo Song had no choice but to ask Li Wenyu to help, Li Wenyu wanted to do things better than Guo Song, and immediately found a three-acre small house for their mother and daughter, which was also in Huaiyuanfang, just opposite his home, and Li Wenyu arranged more than a dozen maids and servants for them.

Guo Ping is very satisfied with this location, she was born a working woman, she can't enjoy the blessings in the house, if it weren't for her brother's face, she even wanted to go out to set up a tofu stall, or Li Wenyu had a way, pulled her to the Meishou wine shop to help, Guo Ping was like a fish in water, and soon took over the business of the wine shop, and Li Wenyu also had the energy to do her cotton business.

"Big sister, why are you here?" Guo Song asked in surprise.

Guo Ping smiled: "Even you can appear here, can't I be here?" ”

"I didn't mean that, I mean, you should have a good rest for a few years."

Guo Ping waved his hand, "I'm used to being busy, where can I be idle, you want me to have nothing to do in the house, it's more uncomfortable than killing me, there is a shopkeeper here who is busy, I'm already very idle." ”

Speaking of this, Guo Ping shouted: "Old Yang, bring me a bottle of the latest wine for my little brother." ”

"Aunt Guo, wait a minute, this is coming!"

Shopkeeper Yang agreed, ran over with a bottle of wine, looked up and saw Guo Song, he was so frightened that he almost threw away the wine, this ..... This is Aunt Guo's little brother?

"You be careful, how can you be careless, half of the wine is spilled."

Guo Ping hurriedly took the wine bottle, complained a few words, and waved his hand, "Go get busy!" I'll do it myself. ”

She found a wine glass for Guo Song and poured him a full glass of wine, "This is the wine sent by Zhangye yesterday, this batch is of good quality, you can try it." ”

Guo Song saw that she was very skilled, and he couldn't help but laugh and said, "How long has the eldest sister been here?" ”

"On the third day of coming to Chang'an, I came here with Wen Yu, I was not familiar with it at first, but now I can take care of it inside and out, yesterday I also went to Taibai Liquor House to urge the account, Wen Yu said that seventy percent of this wine shop is yours, and I will take care of it for you."

Li Wenyu was not wrong, Guo Song had already sold the wine shop to the Dugu family, but Dugu Qiu married it to himself as his daughter's companion, and now he still accounts for seventy percent.

"Eldest sister, I'm worried that you won't be able to handle it."

"Little brother, you look down on the old sister too much, when you mention Chengdong Tofu Niang in Yongxian County, no one doesn't know, that's me, your brother-in-law died early, I grind tofu and sell tofu alone, and pull the two children up, although I can't read, but I remember, how much money is not bad, and the account book is in my head."

Guo Ping pointed to his mind and said with a smile: "Selling wine is the same as selling tofu, pay attention to harmony and make money, and things are good, others can come often, things are sour, people will never come again if they are fooled, and the store has a shopkeeper busy, I am very idle, I like this lively." ”

Guo Song smiled dumbly and said: "I say one word to you, you reply to me a hundred words, then whatever you want!" Stay here if you like, but what about Pearl? ”

"She and Xiaojin went to Tianlai Fang to learn pipa, your sister likes to play pipa, it is her hobby, but this time she is going to learn, paying money to learn art, not to be a music girl."

Guo Ping said that Xiao Jin is a personal female guard of the Guo Song faction, the eldest sister he is not too worried, Zhang Lei also has a few wine shop guards, the key is Mingzhu, only fifteen years old, and he looks very handsome, he is afraid of being targeted by gangsters, so he sent a female guard with strong martial arts skills to protect her.

"Eldest sister, let me ask you, does the liquor store accept new money?" Guo Song asked with a smile.

Guo Ping shook his head, "Wen Yu told me that I used to only collect cash, and it was only in the past two years that I started to collect old money, and I have never collected a penny for new money. ”

"Did you sell tofu before?"

"Nonsense! Can I not accept it? Everyone uses new money, if I don't collect new money, I would have starved to death, even now, those small stalls and vendors still collect it, there is no way! If you don't charge money, who will he sell to, only big stores have the confidence not to accept it, and you can refuse it in one go.

Little brother, I think you're here to investigate new money! You don't have to come to the East Market and the West Market to investigate, the shops here are all rich, you have to go to Huaiyuanfang, where I live, there are many small stalls and vendors, they are the lowest and most real, they can't live without new money. ”

Guo Song nodded, it is a good thing to have such an eldest sister from the lowest background, he smiled: "When I go back, I will stop by to take a look." ”

"I won't accompany you, I can't leave here, I'll go to the Moon Appreciation Building to collect the account later, and I said it was okay yesterday."

"You're busy! I'll come back to see you in a few days. ”

Guo Song walked out of the wine shop and said to several pro-soldiers: "Go to Huaiyuanfang!" ”

Guo Song once went to Huaiyuanfang, where merchants gathered, the residents here are very friendly to business, not like other residents who reject small stalls and hawkers, so there are many small grocery stores, snack shops and various mobile vendors here, especially a month ago, Guo Song officially issued an order of King Jin to cancel the curfew that lasted for a hundred years in Chang'an, and did not close the door, as a result, the night market broke out, and Huaiyuanfang was very lively at night.

Huaiyuanfang is also lively during the day, when Zhang Lei first bought a house here, there were not many small vendors here, and now there are small shops and vendors everywhere, mainly all kinds of needles and threads, vegetables and game, etc.

Guo Song took out a few pieces of new money and handed it to a few of his subordinates, "You go buy some small things, buy whatever you want, and see if you can spend it." ”

Several pro-soldiers went separately, and came back in a moment, and said to Guo Song: "Your Highness Qiqi, it's all spent!" ”

"They didn't say anything?" Guo Song asked.

"They all asked if they could give the old money, and we said there was no old money, only new money, and they accepted it."

Guo Song simply took out more than a dozen yuan of new money, and asked his men to go to the small grocery store and snack bar to buy things, half an hour later, the soldiers came back one after another, and bought a lot of things with more than a dozen yuan, but the result was still the same, the other party wanted to collect the old money, but in the end they had to accept the new money.

Now Guo Song understood, the eldest sister was right, the new money is still circulating at the bottom of the society, but not everyone is willing to accept it, but there is no way........

Back in Xingqing Palace, Guo Song immediately brought Du You and Cao Wannian, these two people, like Guo Song, are also conducting market research today and have just returned.

"Let's talk about it! What is the current situation in the market for new money? ”

Du You sighed and said: "As reported before, the situation is very serious, almost all the shops in Pingkangfang do not accept new money, and Xuanyangfang is the same, the lowly position brought twenty new money, and the last penny was not used, and now many people have a lot of new money in their hands, complaining, scolding, and some people want to move to Luoyang." ”

These are probably people who exchange money on the black market, and their new money is going to be smashed in their hands.

Guo Song smiled and asked Cao Wannian again, "What about Cao Lingjun?" ”

Cao Wannian smiled bitterly, "I went to Dongshi with my humble position, and I also brought twenty yuan of money, and like Lao Du, I didn't use a penny, not almost, but all the shops didn't charge new money." ”

Guo Song took out a handful of money and threw it on the table, and smiled at the two: "I also brought twenty yuan of new money, but there are only more than 100 yuan left." ”

Both of them were stunned, and Du You said for a while: "Didn't you say that the West Market didn't collect new money a month ago?" ”

Guo Song said lightly: "The West Market really doesn't accept it, in the West Market, I can't use a penny, but in Huaiyuanfang, twenty times are all used." ”

Du You suddenly understood that the small vendors and small shops in Huaiyuanfang were well-known, and His Royal Highness the King of Jin used them in the hands of the small vendors.

"Your Highness means that the people at the bottom can still accept the new money and do not resist."

"You're wrong, they are just as resistant to new money, but there's no way, the customers who buy their stuff only have new money in their hands, and if they don't accept it, they'll starve to death."

Du You and Cao Wannian were silent, and they were really ashamed in their hearts.

At this time, Guo Song said slowly: "I have already thought about it, we will take two measures next." ”
