Chapter 524: Jin Shang! Double lead party!
Since I slept with other people's wives and daughters, I had to eat other people's short mouths and take other people's soft hands. Shouhan is not the kind of person who wipes his mouth after eating and drinking and does not admit it.
It is necessary to have a full post, and invite Huang Yunfa to the mansion to retell.
Sitting on both sides, Li Shouhan's face turned red, and he said ashamedly: "Yesterday's incident is ridiculous, and I am ashamed of Mr. Huang, but it has happened, if Mr. can forgive, what kind of compensation, just ask." ”
Huang Yunfa smiled slightly and said: "Uncle Ning Yuan's words are wrong, the so-called manly husband has ambitions of thousands of miles, and the love of children is no more than a trivial matter, if Ning Yuanbo likes this, the businessmen can send it again in the future." As for compensation, it is even more daring. However, the merchants did have one thing to plead with Ning Yuanbo, but they stated in advance that it was a request. Whether Ning Yuanbo is gracious or not, the businessmen dare not say anything. ”
Li Shouhan still smiled after hearing this, but he was secretly embarrassed in his heart, your sister, sure enough, the profit-seeking nature of capital is innate! I have long been mentally prepared for the greed and shamelessness of businessmen, but it is an eye-opener to see it today. As my grandfather said, at the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, those unscrupulous capitalists threatened that in order to get a government contract, even if they took their wives, daughters, and aunts, they did not hesitate to do so, and they really lived up to their reputation! No wonder the chairman of the year wanted to engage in three antis and five antis. That's it! You're still fucking aspiring to a thousand miles, it's nothing more than betraying the country thousands of miles away. But I can't say these things now, after all, my wife and daughter who have just finished going to other people's homes can't beat Wu Dalang and father-in-law with their pants on, right?
Thinking of this, Li Shouhan said: "Mr. Huang, you also know my Nanzhong Fadu, even if it is Ben Bo himself. Nor can it be arbitrarily illegal. However, Benber can assure that if what he asks for is reasonable and legitimate, Benber will not be embarrassed. ”
When Huang Yunfa heard this, he didn't say much, and immediately got up to thank Li Shouhan, Li Shouhan hurriedly stopped Huang Yunfa and said, "What is Mr. Huang doing, you haven't said it yet, how do you know that I will definitely agree?" ”
Huang Yun showed a businessman's characteristic smile and said, "Uncle, this matter is of great benefit to Uncle. ”
"Businessman Huang Yunfa is not talented, and he does not dare to learn from the saint and benefit the world. But I am also willing to contribute to the world. So the businessmen have an idea. Now in the market, large transactions are still dominated by silver, and small people use all kinds of tongbao. If you start from a small trumpet, you can only buy goods in silver dollars. Pay the porter's salary, pay the salary, purchase goods, etc., only use Nanzhong Tongbao. A few years later. The world's silver money can be attributed to one. In order to ensure this, the merchants were willing to exchange the silver in the trumpet's hand for the silver dollar of the uncle, and if there were other merchants who wanted to exchange it for the huàn in the future. I hope that the uncle can also allow Huang to do it on his behalf. Although the uncle is relieved, he will never take advantage of the uncle when he redeems the huàn silver dollar, I don't know what the uncle thinks? ”
You damn it!
Shouhan didn't know what to do with this guy with a smile on his face, and he had the intention to push him out and behead him, but he couldn't say it. There are also other people's outhouses and daughters in their own rooms, and when they spread it, it is inevitable that there are some good things to say.
"In order to occupy the daughter of businessman Huang Yunfa's aunt's wife, Ning Yuanbo casually found an excuse to kill Huang."
In this way, those guys in the DPRK and Jiangnan who hate the Han Dynasty can definitely say it, and they will inevitably write some literary and artistic works such as dramas and commentaries to be staged in various places after Zhang Wenxiang was instructed by the Hunan Army to assassinate Ma Xinyi.
However, this proposition put forward by Huang Yunfa was, as he himself said, brought great benefits to Li Shouhan and the Nanyue army.
Shouhan knew very well that Huang Yunfa's coming this time was definitely not the intention of his family, but the request of the entire Jinshang Group.
The voice of the entire Jinshang Group is that Shouhan and his Nanyue Army and Nanzhong Group should also weigh it carefully.
Acting as the financial leader of the Southern Yue Army. This is the requirement of Jinshang Group.
"Sure enough, he has a good calculation! On the one hand, they colluded with Jiannu and wantonly sold grain and rice materials to help Jiannu sell the property they looted in the interior, and on the other hand, they had a good relationship with the towns on the nine borders, the court officials, and the scholars. Now he has invested in the business of money exchange with the lord under the command of the lord, and it is really a good business! ”
Shouhan used the excuse that the matter was big, and he wanted to discuss a thing or two with the many stewards and treasurers who were prevalent in Long, and he was very perfunctory about this Huang Yunfa. Looking at the figure who withdrew after saluting respectfully, Shouhan suddenly felt very powerless.
I know the danger of the person in front of me and the behemoth behind him, but I can't kill him, alas! Who let himself be the boss for a while and couldn't control the second child, so that this guy became his cheap father-in-law, and he gave someone an environmental protection label hat on his head?
In desperation, Shouhan had to convene the shopkeepers of the nearby businesses to analyze the pros and cons to see whether it was feasible to carry out financial cooperation with the Jin merchants.
Chen Guoxi heard the others fire a shot first, but his face was also full of smiles. In his opinion, this is too bookish. Speaking of doing business with the enemies of the imperial court, did Long Shengxing do less?
He didn't say much, just quietly signaled to Shouhan, and there was a Wang An standing outside the door, that guy was a eunuch in the palace.
"All right, Wang An, you go and tell them to bring the gentlemen's lunch here, and Benbo will dine here with the gentlemen, and then go back to eat with them in the evening."
As he spoke, he couldn't help but think of the richness of his wooden lattice, the greenness of the Huang family, the mother and daughter, one seemed to be a ripe peach, a bite was sweet and juicy, and the other was a fruit that had just entered the ripening period, slightly sweet and sour.
However, in the afterglow of his eyes, he seemed to see that the faces of everyone present were a little embarrassed, and Shouhan couldn't help but feel hot on his face, and waved his hand to let Wang An retreat.
"Alas! Look at Ning Yuanbo, and then look at our emperor. Wang An muttered to himself in his heart.
"The two of them are about the same age, and it seems that the uncle is older. But look at the uncle's spirit, his face is ruddy, his voice is loud, and he speaks with confidence. Every day, the daily life is luxurious, and the clothing and food are all exquisite. Even between the beds, it was majestic, and the two girls mourned more than that. But look at our emperor again. Compared with him, he is a bitter little old man in the countryside. I haven't been lucky enough to have a concubine for many days. ”
With a flash of lightning in his mind, Wang An quietly reminded himself, "We are no longer the slaves of Emperor Chongzhen, we are now the slaves of Ningyuan Bofu." In any case, this identity must be remembered clearly. ”
“…… Lord, there was already a ginning machine in the Yuan Dynasty, which is recorded in Wang Zhen's agricultural book. However, at the beginning of the dynasty, when Taizu founded the country, the world was in turmoil, and this thing was lost. Fortunately, more than ten years ago, Xu Guangqi and Xu Xiangguo in Shanghai "reinvented" it again. subordinates thought. This can be vigorously promoted in various granges. Today's churning car. One person is three people. Among them, one person can be four people; Taicang style, two people can be eight people. ”
Someone behind him used a ginning machine to improve the processing efficiency of cotton.
For the promotion of agricultural machinery, the Nanyue Army has always spared no effort. Let alone. There is already a precedent for success in this thing. At that moment, Shouhan nodded in permission. But he was also muttering to himself in his heart. Although this thing is recorded in the book of agricultural administration, this thing is not very easy to use, and it is really easy to use. And not limited by the power situation, it is still Whitman's ginning machine. However, at the moment, it is better than nothing.
Seeing that Wang An's figure disappeared, everyone began to discuss the important matters in their hearts again.
As for the competitiveness and lethality of their own money, the people present are well aware. Since Zhang Juzheng, the prime minister of Gangneung, began to implement a whip law, collecting taxes and only collecting silver, the treasury of various places has become a silver treasury. However, due to the limitations of the level of economic development and technical conditions, even the content of silver money between provinces is different and the regulations are different. What horseshoe treasures, official treasures, filament buns, etc., and so on. Generally speaking, for example, the silver in the southern part of Jiangsu, because of the wealth of the place, the fineness and regulations are relatively uniform, while in Sichuan, Guizhou, and even more distant places such as Wusizang, the silver is much rougher.
And we are familiar with the silver dollar, large-scale circulation and use is beginning at the end of the Qing Dynasty, the Qing Dynasty followed the habit since the Yuan and Ming dynasties, silver two cast into ingot-shaped use, according to its shape and weight, roughly divided into four kinds: one is "ingots", also called "treasure silver", weighing fifty taels, the shape is oblong, the two ends are upturned, like a boat, buckled over and shaped like a horseshoe, so it is also called "horseshoe silver". There are various shapes of treasure silver circulating in various places, so there are also famous colors such as long groove, square groove, single tilt, double tilt, etc. The second is the ingot, weighing ten taels, or seven or eight taels, generally made into a hammer shape, and also made into a treasure silver shape, called "small ingots". The third is the chia, also called the small chia, the small ingot, weighing one to five taels, more made into the shape of a small steamed bun, the fourth is the drop bead, also known as the blessing bead, for one tael below the scattered small grains of silver. In the Qing Dynasty, the industry or institution that melted and cast silver taels was called Yinfu, also called furnace room, silver furnace. There are two kinds of silver shops, both government and private, and most of the official bank shops are subsidiary institutions of financial institutions, such as the treasury of governments at all levels. Private silver shops need to be approved by the government, and the government will issue a license, and the silver taels used by merchants and citizens can be smelted in silver furnaces at will. The silver furnace should be cast on the silver ingot, the location of the silver furnace, the name of the trade and the name of the silversmith, so as to be responsible for the weight and fineness of the silver ingot. In the 41st year of Qianlong (1776), it was stipulated that in addition to casting the names of the prefectures and counties and silversmiths, the ingots sent to the central government by the provinces had to be cast with the year and month for easy inspection. If the fineness is insufficient, or the bottom surface of the ingots is not the same as the upper part of the silver, in addition to punishing the undertaker, the silver tael must be recovered, and then paid after re-casting.
The two main problems in the circulation of silver taels are the fineness and weight of silver taels. The Ming and Qing dynasties officially issued two silver - "pattern silver", although there is a "full silver" said, the fineness is set as ten percent, in fact, it can not reach ten percent of pure silver, and the silver content is only ninety. And the merchants in various places exercise the silver two colors are different, the fineness is different, the shape is different, so there are many names, such as Jiangnan, Zhejiang's Yuansi, Huguang, Jiangxi and other places of salt; Sichuan's earthen trough, willow trough, fennel; Shanxi's West Trough, Water Silk, Shaanxi and Gansu Yuan Trough; The stone trough of Yungui, camellia, the north stream of Guangxi, etc., there are no less than hundreds of kinds in total. Although the fineness of silver ingots varies from place to place, the weight of the sterling silver must be converted according to the standard of ten percent foot pattern stipulated by the government when trading. In the Qing Dynasty, the weighing standard of silver taels was "flat", which refers to the weight standard of a certain unit (generally referring to two) weights when weighing the balance, so it is also called "flat weight". There are hundreds of kinds of "Ping" used in the country, the main ones are Kuping, Caoping, Guanping, Shiping four kinds, Kuping was formulated during the Kangxi period, and it is an important standard used by the government to collect taxes and cashiers and silver. The central Kuping is not the same as the Kuping of the local government. Among them, Guangdong Kuping is the largest, and Ningbo is the smallest.
And at that time, there was a lot of fake silver, what potion boiled copper, tin and lead, chiseled holes into copper lead, cast copper lead into ingots and then outsourced silver, it was impossible to prevent it, and a little carelessness immediately landed. (Regarding the matter of fake silver, interested friends can go to see Mr. Feng Menglong's three words and two beats, as well as the Yongzheng Emperor of the February River, which are all described.) If it weren't for the need to guard against counterfeit silver and exchange loose silver at the same time, those big merchants would not have prepared clips and scissors to inspect and cut silver. In novels and film and television works, the matter of paying for a meal with ingots is basically nonsense. )
"Look. The exchange of silver dollars and our own Tongbao with Huang Yunfa. On what scale should it be controlled? Shouhan pondered for a moment and opened his mouth to ask everyone.
This is undoubtedly to control the discussion on the technical level, I have decided to cooperate with Jin Shang, you give me an idea. Look at the scale level of control.
Which of Chen Guoxi's people is not a human spirit who rolled out of the pile? I immediately understood what the lord meant.
"That's fine! Anyway, if our silver dollars and Tongbao are all used in one place in Nanzhong. It's a bit of a waste. We also have to think of ways to avoid high prices and headaches to give peasant workers all kinds of subsidies, so it is better to transfer the silver dollar to the mainland! ”
Several Longsheng shopkeepers and deacons, who were doing business in the Denglai area of Shandong and Henan, were secretly planning in their hearts.
"My lord. In the humble opinion of his subordinates, how about exchanging the first transaction with the Huang family firm for one million silver dollars and the equivalent of one million silver dollars? After that, it will be increased every year or by year according to the agreed period? ”
Chen Guoxi thought about it for a while and put forward a plan.
"Ben doesn't care about that. You are all good at this, remember, don't hurt the foundation of my Nanzhong, don't hurt the people in the mainland. ”
"Subordinates, etc., remember the teachings of the Lord."
"Alright, let's eat!"
After a sumptuous lunch that made Wang An and others cry secretly, Chen Guoxi Shi Ran took a few assistants to a house in Huang Yunfa on the shore of Daming Lake.
"Huang Da shopkeeper, it is really a good means and a good calculation. The two women made a heroic character like my father-in-law unable to advance or retreat, and he couldn't stop. I had to reluctantly give in. ”
Seeing Huang Yunfa's face, Chen Guoxi sneered twice, and threw a few words to Huang Yunfa with a stick.
"Each other, each other. When we do business, we always have to have some means that are not enough for outsiders. For example, Mr. Chen, you can come and go among millions of thieves and be treated as a guest by thieves everywhere, this ability is what Huang has to learn for decades. ”
Listening to Huang Yunfa's quiet revelation of his old background and the relationship between Chen Guoxi and the peasant army of Li Zicheng and Luo Rucai, who were besieging Kaifeng, Chen Guoxi was not surprised, and the relationship between the Jin merchants and the Shaanxi peasant army was also close, and it was also an open secret that the relationship between the two provinces of Qin and Jin secretly communicated with each other. Don't you see that since Gao Yingxiang, which large group of peasant troops has entered and exited the Central Plains from Shanxi? Aren't they all taking other paths? You can also say that the Xuanda army and horses have meritorious service in guarding the royal palace, but is it really purely military reasons?
"With the big shopkeeper in this way, I am afraid that in the future, the officials in various places will consume more fire, and the life of the people in the Central Plains will be even more difficult!" Chen Guoxi changed his tone, his tone softened, and his words were full of compassion.
"Chen Da's shopkeeper is to the point! When he went to meet his uncle that day, he said that this matter was of great benefit to him, and it was precisely because of this! The big shopkeeper, the Russians are all businessmen who go from south to north, so they opened the skylight and said bright words. This matter has been done, and it is inevitable that the fire consumption of the local government will be collected, and even more will be collected. But in this way, Uncle's immigration plan can be carried out, and your friends outside Kaifeng City will have a steady stream of soldiers! ”
The two guys looked at each other for a long time, each saying nothing, but a smile appeared on their faces.
Then, the two sides began business negotiations.
Chen Guoxi, on behalf of the Nanyue Military Group, reached an agreement with Huang Yunfa's Jinshang system on authorizing the Jinshang system to exchange Nanzhong silver dollars and Tongbao, but there was a heated discussion between the two sides on the scale and quantity of the exchange.
"Only two million? What a big shopkeeper of Oh Na Chen! That's a little bit of that, isn't it? ”
Listening to Chen Guoxi's plate, Huang Yunfa couldn't help but grin. began to complain. If he could only have an exchange quota of two million silver dollars, then he would have lost his business. Two million yuan sounds like a lot, but the average of the eight Jin merchants is one point, and each family is only more than 200,000 yuan, not to mention, there are many sizes under the eight families and some of them have to be distributed, so after a while, I am afraid that it will be good if each of the eight families has 100,000 yuan in their hands.
Seeing that Huang Yunfa was a little angry, Chen Guoxi was as comfortable as eating a bowl of osmanthus shaved ice on dog days. You're an old fox. In the face of our absolute strength, we must also be obediently deflated!
"Huang Dadong's family, everything is difficult at the beginning, this is the two of us who have just started to do this business. It is also appropriate for everyone to be cautious. But. A certain family also asked the lord for a bottom. ”
Chen Guoxi deliberately sold a pass. But he didn't reveal it, he just bargained with Huang Yunfa, and was entangled in the exchange price of silver and silver dollars.
Huang Yunfa simply stopped asking. Just be patient and carefully grind the price with Chen Guoxi.
The two groups of people have never been discussing until the unitary time.
"Big shopkeeper, that's it! One tael of silver in full color, in exchange for a silver dollar on your side. ”
The somewhat exhausted people who were talking about the negotiations repeated the results just now.
"Good! A certain family reported to my lord at this price, and your silver will be exchanged for as many silver dollars as we have at this price! ”
Chen Guoxi deliberately accentuated the last sentence.
"Really?!"
Huang Yunfa couldn't help but be overjoyed. If there is such a condition, it is for him to wash several wives and concubines and daughters in the family and then give them to Ning Yuanbo, and he also sent them to beat gongs and drums.
The merchants of Shanxi did not have anything else, but there was silver. After the accumulation of hundreds of years and generations, others don't say, just eight merchants, who are helpless to do anything about the hundreds of catties of gold and silver winter melons in the warehouse?
Now that these gold and silver can be turned into liquid funds, how can Huang Yunfa not be excited? With these silver dollars as the only currency, the ticket numbers and exchange business discussed by Fan Yongdou and others on that day could be carried out.
In that way, it would be much more profitable and less risky than braving the wind and snow to travel thousands of miles across the steppe desert to transport smuggled goods to the Mongol slaves.
"When I went out, my uncle specially explained that the things of the previous day were mostly inherited from the good intentions of the shopkeeper of Huangda, and there was no way to repay. So I asked Mr. Huang to be involved, and took care of the fact that your fellow villagers and I were in charge of exchanging huàn money. ”
Shouhan also returned a favor to Huang Yunfa without any expense, replacing the environmental protection logo on his head with a golden hat.
Imagining that the tide of silver would pass through his hands in the future, Huang Yunfa seemed to have been intoxicated by the sweet fragrance of silver.
"In the future, the silver money will be exchanged for huàn, and it will be sent by my family to Mr. Chen for handover, as for the amount of silver dollars to be returned, Mr. Chen will be determined, and Russia can trust Mr. Chen!"
Cast it with peach and plum to repay it with Qiong Yao. Huang Yunfa also gave Chen Guoxi a big pie very generously, and he didn't have to pay out of his own pocket anyway.
"Don't dare to be, what words and objects does the old boss have to hand over to the family in the house to bring to Miss Huang?"
Chen Guoxi pushed Wang Xi in front of Huang Yunfa and opened his mouth to inquire.
The meaning of these words, Huang Yunfa understands very well, our business is done, and the connection between you and the two living treasures you offer must also be severed, otherwise everyone will look a little bad in the future.
At that moment, Huang Yun ordered someone to put the daily use of his Muge mother and daughter, clothes and jewelry, into a cage and handed them over to Wang Xi to bring back. After all, a husband and wife always have to have some incense, who knows if there will be a place to use the pillow wind of the mother and daughter in the future?
A deal that made the Nanyue Army, Jin Shang, local officials of the Korean Chinese Martial Arts, and even Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong, Luo Rucai, and others profitable.
However, only the people in Daming are suffering. As Huang Yunfa said, after the use of silver dollars, the fire consumption in various places was collected correctly, and even more, turning countless peasants who were struggling on the death line into hungry people, turned into displaced people, or entered Li Zicheng's peasant army camp, or got on Li Shouhan's big ship and went south to reclaim the famine.
When the vehicles of Chen Guoxi and others walked along the bluestone road on the shore of Daming Lake to the Dewang Mansion, several cavalry galloped past from the West Gate, shouting incessantly.
"Great victory! Great victory! (To be continued......)
