The shop of Jiuhua Yuluxiang will receive a large amount of treasure money every day, except for a part of it that is transported to the lifting division, and another part will be secretly released every day, but it is getting less and less every day.

Those Ming businessmen came to a perfect wave of divine assistance.

Yang Shaofeng always thought that the concept of a flat wife was played by Mites, but in fact, it already existed in Daming, but Daming's flat wife was tossed out by these businessmen in private, and it belonged to giving a name to the concubines placed outside, and it was not protected by Daming Law at all, nor was it officially recognized.

It's just that whether it is officially recognized or not, what is the use for these businessmen, anyway, it has not violated the laws of the Ming Dynasty, and it is enough to kill the wives without spoiling the concubines.

Since she is a favored concubine, she must have a favored attitude.

Silver is nothing, not to mention those merchants who take care of the shop for the Xungui family, they are not short of money - occasionally buy a bottle of Nine Flowers Jade Dew Incense to please the concubine, isn't this concubine more gentle and considerate

In addition, the border city itself is a highly commercial city, and the largest number of merchants in the city are from the Ming Dynasty and other places, and even the growing number of Tatars and Warats are not as many as these.

The result of these large number of people is that there are many so-called flat wives in the border city, and these women are not bad for money, so they naturally add a fire to the increasingly hot Jiuhua Yulu incense.

And Yang Shaofeng began to reduce the supply of some of the Nine Flowers Jade Dew Incense, citing the insufficient supply of petals.

In addition, there are not too many treasure money in the entire border city, so at the craziest time, some people even took ten taels of silver in exchange for nine treasure money.

This inexplicable situation has made many businessmen see business opportunities - is Daming's treasure banknotes worth In Daming, ten taels of silver can be exchanged for dozens or even hundreds of treasure banknotes!

In this case, in less than two months after the Nine Flowers Jade Dew incense became popular, many merchants returned to the border city with a large amount of treasure money.

Yang Shaofeng took out the real mirror again.

Daming has glass-burning craftsmen, as long as they are willing to spend money, it is not a problem for these craftsmen to make the mirror in Yang Shaofeng's impression.

In addition, Yang Shaofeng put forward the concept of assembly line operation, and the price of these mirrors is basically the same as perfume - the tall vertical mirror costs ten taels of silver, the half-body one only costs five taels, and the palm-sized one only costs one tael.

As for the cost, the cost of a tall mirror is about 300 Wen, the half-body one is only 200 Wen, and the palm size can't even use 30 Wen.

Like the routine of Jiuhua Yuluxiang, these mirrors only accept treasure money and not cash.

In order to prevent more Ming merchants from bringing treasure money to the border city to make trouble in the wind and rain, Yang Shaofeng immediately proposed that all the commercial taxes in the border city will be charged treasure money, and only those below 100 wen will be charged copper plates, even if it is a 100 and 1 wen commercial tax, you have to take out 100 wen treasure money and a penny copper plate, otherwise it will not be considered a tax payment.

The merchants of the Ming Dynasty naturally know that the treasure money is not very valuable, but the problem is that the treasure money is not worth much within the Great Wall, this is the border city, and they want to wait for the next batch of treasure money to arrive in the border city, there is a time difference in the middle, in this time difference, no matter what, they have to ensure that they have enough treasure money in their hands to pay taxes, otherwise they will face the risk of being kicked out of the border city.

In order to increase the value of the treasure banknote and the probability of actual circulation, Yang Shaofeng even made Lin Yu announce a new regulation in the Zuixian Building - the use of treasure banknotes for settlement, and the ratio of gold and silver is one to one, that is, the treasure banknotes with a consistent face value can be used as one or two silver.

Then, even coal and slime need to be settled in treasure money.

As soon as all kinds of routines came out, the treasure banknotes on the market that were just going to be more generous became nervous again, if it weren't for Yang Shaofeng secretly exchanging a batch of treasure banknotes, I was afraid that someone would have taken a risk.

Zhu Zhanji, who came to the border city out of boredom, said he was very confused.

Yang Shaofeng played these methods, if you think about it carefully, in fact, none of the methods is very clever, if it is operated by those bigwigs in the court, it is estimated that it can be played a little more.

But it is obvious that no matter how rough the means are, they have achieved the goal that Yang Shaofeng wants, and it is far beyond expectations.

There are already Tatars and Warats who have come to sell their cattle and sheep and asked for the use of treasure money to settle settlements!

This is not normal.

The same Ming treasure banknote, within the Great Wall, the value of the treasure banknote is only one-tenth of its face value or even lower, but outside the Great Wall, the value of the treasure banknote can reach its specified face value, and even faintly exceed.

Facing Zhu Zhanji's question, Yang Shaofeng said: "Don't you think that the border city is different from other cities in Daming?"

Zhu Zhanji said curiously: "What's the difference?"

Yang Shaofeng pointed to the construction site that was still busy, and said with a smile: "What's the same in Daming, any two adjacent cities only need a day or even less than a day's journey, but here."

Because of the long distance, it can even be said that it is isolated from the world, and it takes a long time for a large amount of treasure money to be transported in, and during this time, not everyone can bear it.

In particular, the Yamen of the Lifting Division also stipulates that all taxes can only be paid in the form of treasure money, which is destined to those merchants who do not dare to exchange a large amount of treasure money even if they have treasure money in their hands, at least to ensure that the remaining part in their hands is enough to pay the tax amount of the month.

Also, apart from perfume and mirrors, even the most basic fuels need treasure money to buy, do you think they dare to take treasure money seriously?

Don't forget, perfume and mirrors are exclusive, fuel is my monopoly, and I say that if I collect treasure money, they will not dare to take silver, so this phenomenon will occur, which is not unusual at all. ”

Zhu Zhanji hesitated and said, "What if, if they bring in a large amount of treasure money from outside?"

Yang Shaofeng smiled sadly: "Let's wait until they can pass the perfect right guard!" I've already said hello to the Wanquan Dusi and Wanquan Right Guard, as well as all the checkpoints leading to the border city, and everyone is not allowed to carry more than ten treasure money, which dooms them to not be able to get a large amount of treasure money, unless they don't even care about their lives. ”

Zhu Zhanji still shook his head and said, "That's not right. Even if this is the case, it is estimated that these people have a way to avoid it. ”

After thinking about it, Zhu Zhanji continued: "Look, I exchanged one tael of silver for ten taels of treasure money in the capital, and then came to you to buy two bottles of perfume and bring them back to Daming to sell, and you can earn nine taels inside and out, right, you can't prohibit anyone from bringing perfume into the customs."

Yang Shaofeng sighed and said: "You can think of it when everyone else is a fool, but others can't think of it."

But you have to think about it, when many people know about this news, even if they can't come to the border city by themselves for various reasons, won't they raise the exchange price of treasure money and silver?

Of course, there may be a time difference and geographical difference among these people, such as relying on the inconvenience of information transmission, and some people will take silver to some remote places to exchange treasure money, and profit from it, I really can't stop this, and I can't solve it.

But one thing is that while the information transmission in those remote places is inconvenient, it is also destined that the treasure money in the hands of those people will not be much, and even just enough for them to exchange for salt and food, so it is a false proposition to exchange a large amount of treasure money from the hands of the people.

And you also forgot one thing, that is, they changed the treasure money and then came to the border city, it takes time and food on the way, Da Ming is equal to another smile tax, if these invisible costs are counted, these people are likely to be in vain.

In other words, the more people who exchange silver for money, the higher the value of the money, and eventually it will be equal to or even exceed the silver. And this is the essence of credit money, and it is the role that Daming treasure banknotes should have. ”

Zhu Zhanji pondered for a long time before he said: "Therefore, those Tatars and Warats will ask for a part of the settlement with treasure money."

Yang Shaofeng nodded and said, "Not bad." Even if they knew that the treasure money was useless elsewhere, it was important, as long as it could be used in the border city in a ratio of one to one or even more, they would be content.

Because they can't buy the things they need anywhere else, such as iron pots, salt tea, or coal slime, they don't care how low the value of the treasure money is within the Great Wall, they only care how high the value of the treasure money is in the border city. ”

Zhu Zhanji was still a little confused: "Then they don't worry that one day a large number of treasure money will suddenly pour in, causing the treasure money to lose its value again."

Yang Shaofeng said with a sigh: "It's still the same sentence just now, how can there be a sudden influx Don't forget, the Treasure Banknote Division will not issue new banknotes within three years, or will only issue some new banknotes for exchange for old banknotes, and will not print a large number of them, even if they are printed later, it will come according to the actual situation of the treasury."

As a result, the amount of treasure money held in the market is actually slowly decreasing, and the existence of border cities is accelerating the rate of reduction.

Moreover, as long as I am in the border city for a day, they will not worry about it for a day, this is the credit that I Yang has accumulated with sincerity in the border city for most of the year.

For I had piled up a great deal of silver in the treasury of the Lifting Division, and I had the Tatars and Warats see the men piling it up with their own eyes, and they are still piling it up every day.

I told them that if one day the money was worthless, I would welcome them to come and take it away. ”

Zhu Zhanji said: "If, I mean, if, if there is really a treasure banknote that is suddenly worthless, then one day, you will let them take the silver."

Yang Shaofeng glanced at Zhu Zhanji and sneered: "If we can't guarantee the value of the treasure banknote after working so hard, then wouldn't we be tossing in vain."

Take 10,000 steps back, even if there is really that day, of course I agree, after all, if I Yang someone says something, it will be difficult to chase any horse, and it is naturally impossible to regret it.

But you, Zhu Erjiu, will agree to the British Duke and the Chengguo Duke, they will agree with Xia Yuanji, that old man will agree with Your Majesty, and his old man will agree

If you don't agree, what does it have to do with me Yang?"
