Chapter 730: A Commercial Attempt

On the streets of Pingyang City, now gradually formed the office administrative area in the north of the city, the trade and goods trade area in the south of the city and the residential block of residents in the middle of these two areas, across the entire east and west, the three parts are in order, and after the continuous gathering of population, especially after the news of the opening of the school palace spreads, some merchants and rural nobles with a keen sense of smell in Hedong and even Sanfu and Bingzhou began to set up trade branches in Pingyang.

The commercial area of Binh Duong South City is already full of shops near the main street, and if it weren't for the rigid requirements of fire prevention and theft prevention, these shops would even want to cover the narrow gaps between the houses......

It turned out that the Han Dynasty had some systems in commodity trade, for example, different markets sold different goods, so if you met some regional rulers who didn't know much about commerce, you might encounter the situation of buying salt in Dongfangtou and going to Xifang to buy rice, and walking to three or five markets to get together the materials needed.

However, in Binh Duong City, when Fiji planned the entire business area, it did not arrange it according to the old system, but according to the commercial habits of later generations, breaking this constraint and invisibly promoting the convenience and development of commerce.

Although it was early spring and the weather was still very cold, the shops on the streets of Binh Duong had already removed their door panels early and were ready to start a day's business. Under the rule of Fei Qian, not only did he break the restrictions of the market, but he also canceled the regulations of the market between Japan and China, which greatly facilitated the two sides of trade.

The shopkeepers are busy tidying up the storefront, wiping the tables, chairs, counters and so on, while the shopkeepers are standing at the door of their respective stores, greeting each other, chatting and exchanging information by the way......

Cui's rice shop is the largest grain seller in Pingyang City, and of course the shopkeeper is also Cui Hou's clansman, named Cui Qi.

Since Cui Hou took the Cui family to follow Feiqian all the way to the Northland, with the expansion of Feiqian's power, the business has become bigger and bigger, and now it covers almost the entire Northland region, and the products involved are almost all-encompassing from people's livelihood products to high-end luxury goods, and the business and trade industry of Xihe County has developed, but of course it cannot be compared with the Pingyang City of Feiqian.

Cui Chu smiled and arched his hand to the left and right, nodded, and said hello.

As the largest grain and grass merchant in Pingyang, Cuijia rice shop is naturally the benchmark of all rice shops, Cui Qicai appeared at the door of the store, and the other rice shop shopkeepers who had been waiting next to him came up to listen to the news with a smile......

In ancient times, the price of grain and rice was fixed every day, and even the quantity sold was set on the same day, and grain was a thing, because of the constraints of conditions, ordinary people basically did not store much, so they often needed to buy, and whether the grain was stable also represented in a sense whether the whole environment was safe.

Cui Qi smiled and talked to the surrounding rice shop owners, they are peers, but the competition is not incompatible, because Pingyang City is now more and more populous, and the demand for grain or other commodities is increasing, and there is basically no problem in selling the grain they transport, just making more money and earning less.

Just as Cui Qi and the other rice shop owners were exchanging pleasantries, an ox cart turned around from the corner of the street, and several guards lined up in front and behind.

Cui Qi and several other shopkeepers hurriedly stood on the side of the street and stood solemnly.

Although it is not an important official position for the imperial court or Pingyang, but for these merchants they have the power to directly govern and execute, so when the city comes, it is natural for these shopkeepers to be respectful.

When the ox cart approached, it stopped and lifted the curtains.

"I've seen Triss City." Cui Qi took a half step forward and said deeply.

Cui Sishi is the older generation of the Cui family, and he can be regarded as Cui Qi's uncle, but now that he uses the identity of the public family, he naturally needs to put on a businesslike appearance, nodded slightly, and said, "Is Jiaozi smooth to use?" Questions? ”

Jiaozi.

After a period of trial of white strips for small commodities, Feiqian gradually began to guide the use of Jiaozi for trading.

Dong Zhuo's bad money provides a certain foundation for Fei Qian's set of business changes to a certain extent, bad money is completely unfeasible in the market, and barter cannot meet the convenience and needs of the first easy, and at the same time, gold and silver currency is not available for ordinary people, so Jiaozi was born.

Nowadays in Binh Duong, large-scale transactions of gold and silver, such as transactions between ordinary people, have gradually used jiaozi, and what plays an important role in this is the Cui family's rice cloth shops and other shops that are directly related to people's livelihood.

"Yusi City, everything is going smoothly and there is no problem." Cui Qi said.

The use of Jiaozi in Pingyang and other areas is smoother than Fei Qian's expectations, and even exceeds Fei Qian's expectations, which of course has Dong Zhuo's bad money factor, and another reason is that Fei Qian did not expect it at all, that is, the paper thing was still relatively expensive in the Han Dynasty......

A piece of high-quality bamboo paper, according to the size of the printed into different denominations of banknotes, at present there are only one, two, five and ten of these four, as for the twenty and fifty Fei Qian has not planned to print for the time being, but for the vast majority of the people on the market, it is initially enough.

The most important point is that when these banknotes were first introduced, even Cui Hou thought that Fei Qian was doing things at a loss, and suggested that Fei Qian make the paper smaller for a penny, plus bamboo paper is still a fresh item, so it is basically temporarily put an end to the birth of imitations......

Cui Sishi nodded, and then said: "If there is damage that cannot be identified, you can order it to be replaced in the official hall of the city in the middle of the city." ”

Cui Qi and the others naturally responded, and then respectfully sent Cui Si City away, and then bowed hands to each other, and then returned to their own shops and began to welcome the first batch of people entering the city.

At the beginning, the people who came into contact with Jiaozi inquired again and again, and even some people immediately took Jiaozi to spend it cleanly, for fear of being deceived, but as they saw the guys in the shop calmly collecting the banknotes, some people slowly put Jiaozi away carefully.

This situation has appeared more in the commercial area in the south of Binh Duong, and even gave birth to many new products, such as Jiaozi clips, most of the original copper coins were strung with ropes, and now in order to protect the paper Jiaozi from being soaked in sweat, so the leather clips sewn with two layers of leather were born......

In Feiqian's plan, Jiaozi is just an attempt at the current economy, and there are more things that are not applicable for the time being, such as transaction tax.

On the one hand, tariffs are relatively simple for Fiqian governance, and they do not require a large number of officials, and ordinary checkpoints can be competent, and on the other hand, the transaction tax is too difficult to count, in this Han Dynasty, the industrial and commercial taxation is not sound in the era, it is relatively unrealistic to count the transaction volume of a merchant, or what bills are used to calculate the trade quantity of merchants......

Maybe that day, when the conditions are ripe, Feiqian's business system can gradually move closer to future generations, but now, for the time being, Feiqian can take the step of Jiaozi, and Feiqian feels very content.
