Chapter 169: Stone Seal (Third Update, Ask for Recommendation, Ask for Collection)
Silver tickets are not commissioned!
Redeem at any time, and redeem with the ticket.
All of this is undoubtedly new to the people of Wanli in the seventh year, and the guest officer who looked at the rich man was naturally received by Qian Lei.
However, for Zhu Yijun, when he watched that person exchange for fifty taels of silver tickets, he was extremely happy, as if he had done the business himself.
"Zhiyuan, don't say it, this silver ticket is quite convenient to use."
Zhu Yijun said to Shi Yiwen with a smile on his face.
"If it weren't for the fact that the shop didn't recognize this, I wouldn't want to exchange it all day long, trouble."
Listening to the emperor's words, Shi Yiwen said with a smile.
"It's good to get used to it, and in the future, there will definitely be people who are used to using silver tickets."
Because the time was not early, Zhu Yijun, who had been out for more than two hours, did not stay long when he left the bank, he deliberately glanced at the carriage, looked at the bank again, and then said to Shi Yiwen.
"This carriage is quite fast, Zhiyuan turned around, you keep one here for reserve, it will be more convenient for me to come out to play."
In this regard, of course, Shi Yiwen did not refuse, but Qian Lei asked casually when he watched the young man leave.
"Childe, who is that, the spectrum is quite big."
He asked deliberately, and looked at the man, although he said that he was young, his temperament was different from that of ordinary people.
"When you turn around, the car is here for you, he is here, just let the coachman send him."
Shi Yiwen didn't answer his doubts, and then asked again.
"How's the bank's business lately?"
"The bank's business is still successful, and now the money deposited in the bank has exceeded 100,000, I estimate that by the end of this year, our deposits here can reach about 1 million taels, and there is no worry about lending out, and I have negotiated a few for a while, and the interest rate of one into six ......"
Listening to Qian Lei's report, Shi Yiwen just nodded slightly, and then asked.
"On the way here, I saw a new bank open in the south of the city?"
Qian Lei replied truthfully.
"Yes, Childe, didn't I report to you last time that I want to open a few branches? Now, the biggest input of our bank is the copper money of the acceptance carriage bank, every day to say less than hundreds of thousands of money, more than millions of money, to exchange all this money, you have to open a new line, I think about opening 16 branches in the north and south cities, including outside the city, oh, I am also ready to open a store in Zhangjiawan. ”
"Zhangjiawan?"
Shi Yiwen looked at Qian Lei puzzled.
"Childe, that day Childe had said to the bank to "exchange the world", the bank only spends the capital is impossible to achieve this goal, but everything has to come step by step, so in the next thought, first open a branch in Zhangjiawan, Childe don't look at Zhangjiawan and the capital is only a few dozen miles, but there are many merchants in the past, traders carry money from thousands to tens of thousands, both cash and tickets, and because of this, Zhangjiawan to the official road to the capital, there are often bandits haunted, I thought, If we open a branch there and exchange silver tickets, we will definitely make a profit......"
Listening to Qian Lei's explanation, Shi Yiwen nodded slightly and said.
"Profit is second, the most important thing is to get used to! As long as they get used to using silver tickets, the profits will be more than you and I can imagine. ”
As for the "habit" that he said to the emperor before, Shi Yiwen thought about it for a while, and then said.
"In this way, this year, we will not consider other places for the time being, first in Linqing, Yangzhou and Nanjing, first open branches in these places, and strive to make our silver tickets become meeting tickets, circulating between these cities, these places are the largest commercial ports along the canal, let them get used to the convenience of carrying silver tickets remotely, and slowly develop the habit of settling with silver tickets, however, we must pay attention to the fact that we must do a good job in silver money exchange, and the key to silver tickets is credit."
For the silver ticket, the most important thing is credit, without credit, the so-called silver ticket is a piece of paper, the people of the Ming Dynasty are no strangers, the treasure is a lesson from the past.
Then he discussed with Qian Lei about opening a branch, and on the way home, he thought that the bank was going to open a branch and implement a bank ticket, and the problem of a silver ticket was naturally placed in front of Shi Yiwen's eyes.
"It seems that it is time to put the lithograph machine back up, and you can't just rely on the few printers in the space."
Now the bank notes are printed by printers, although they are very beautifully made, but the A4 paper is not durable, and there is a problem of quantity, after all, the paper in the space is limited, and those printers and paper can come in more useful in the future.
After thinking about it, there was only one way, and that was the lithograph machine that was made in Nanjing. The lithograph machine brought from Nanjing, in fact, is a wooden frame printing machine, originally wanted to open a bookstore in Nanjing to print books and newspapers, and even the relationship with the emperor also began from copying books, the purpose of copying books is to print books, but until now, the bookstore has not been opened, as for the simple lithograph machine has been left at home to fall dust.
"Let's set up a bookstore first!"
Thinking that thousands of books have been sent to the palace these days, I am afraid that it will be too wasteful to just collect them, and it is time to engrave those books, and of course, the newspapers will also be done.
After making up on this idea, Shi Yiwen immediately set about setting up a bookstore, although the publishing industry in the capital is far from being comparable with Nanjing and other places, and there are bookstores run by the celebrant and supervisors, so that the bookstore and private book engravers cannot compete with it, but there are still non-large-scale bookstores in the area of the white paper workshop.
Because of this, Shi Yiwen chose to build the bookstore in the white paper workshop, but while the factory manufactures hand-cranked lithographs for printing books according to the drawings, there are still many problems that need to be explained, such as hiring workers, hiring people, and of course, some technical problems to be solved.
"My printing workshop is different from other printing workshops, it does not need engraving, but makes plates by transcribing......"
Facing Sun Fengshan, the newly hired shopkeeper of the bookstore, Shi Yiwen took out a piece of paper and explained to him.
"The so-called transcription is to write words or drawings on the transcription paper and then transfer them to the lithograph. If you are not satisfied with writing on the transcribing paper, you can start it all over again, without the worry of ruining the version. The transcribing technique is correct and does not have to be flipped. However, due to the embossing process of transcription, the image on the transcribed paper cannot be accurately transferred to the plate, which is not as clear as the direct drawing method, but it is faster than ......"
Looking at the piece of paper on the table, Sun Fengshan, who has worked in the bookstore for half his life, and is also proficient in book printing, was surprised.
"Owner, use, this piece of paper can make plates? This...... What's different about this paper? ”
"Since it's a transcribing paper, it's naturally different......
Shi Yiwen said with some pride.
"The most important thing now is to find a group of calligraphers who are good at writing pavilions in the Beijing bookstore, after all, in the future, our books will be "written". ”
