Chapter 137: The opening of the money village and the market, selling Xi paper in disguise?
Yecheng Market.
It covers an area of 2,000 acres and is the largest facility outside of the school grounds. There are countless warehouses, stalls, and shops inside, and a large number of livestock, rice, grain, cakes, paper, elixir, jade liquor, etc., are guarded and patrolled by guards.
Guo Tu rushed to the market.
Just as Yuan Xi guessed, when the people saw the notice at the gate of the city, they did not believe that the newly opened market would sell goods at half price. So, they all hurriedly ran to the market to watch.
At the door stood two groups of soldiers, holding swords and looking solemn.
The people stopped there, not daring to enter.
Guo Tu stepped forward and said with a smile: "Neighbors, people. Listen to me. I am a member of the army under General Yuan's account, and I am also the county commander of Yecheng County, my name is Guo Tu. You have all seen the market behind me, which contains a large amount of daily necessities, Xi paper, and elixir and jade liquor. General Yuan said that it can be purchased at half price.... ”
"If you want to buy goods in the market, you need to go to the money bank opposite the Thorn Mansion, exchange five baht coins for paper copper currency, and then use paper copper currency to buy things in the market."
"This is a market and money bank run by the government, you can rest assured. Let's go in and have a look. First come, first served, waiting for more people, but it is not easy to buy. ”
As Guo Tu's voice fell, the people hesitated for a few breaths.
"Let's go, go in and see..." The sons and daughters of several families are not afraid of heaven and earth, and they are the first to enter the market.
"Oooh oh..."
After hesitating for a few breaths, the people also mustered up their courage and rushed in quickly. I want to see if what is written on the notice and what Guo Tu said is true. If it's true, it will undoubtedly make a windfall.
If you buy goods at half price and then ship them to other states and counties to sell, you can earn half of them in a blink of an eye.
This profit can be seen by fools.
Hundreds of people rushed into the market...
Guo Tu followed closely behind, supervising the staff in the market, answering the people's questions with a new look and an excellent attitude. Do not neglect or despise it.
The people got the answer they wanted, and they all ran out of the market and headed for the money house opposite the Assassin's Mansion.
Guo Tu walked back and forth a few steps, and unconsciously laughed: "People are always greedy, knowing that they can take advantage, who wouldn't buy it?" It is estimated that it will not be long before the threshold of Yecheng Market will be kicked out. ”
"Listen, all of you, stand guard and patrol well to maintain order in the market. If a disturbance is discovered, no matter what his identity is, he will be arrested immediately. Guo Tu said to the guards in the market.
"No..."
Thousands of guards filled the entire market. Standing guards, patrolling, can be seen everywhere. If anyone wants to make trouble, they have to weigh their own catties first, whether they are enough for the guards to cut.
.......................
The people ran to the money bank to exchange paper and copper currency.
At the first in line was the concubine of a branch next to the Lu family in Yecheng, who took out five hundred coins, handed them to the cashier at the counter, and asked, "How much can five hundred dollars be exchanged?" ”
"It's five hundred dollars."
The camper collected the five baht coins, registered them with the boy, and then took out five paper and copper coins worth 100 yuan and gave them to him. There is also a slip with the bank's seal.
The boy took the slip and paper copper currency in his hand, and was suddenly surprised: "This is... This is Xi paper! ”
"I'll see, I'll see..."
A few sons and brothers in the back also came up.
Everyone knows that Xi paper is expensive and difficult to buy. Now even the Zhen family's shop is almost sold out, and there is no market for real prices. I didn't expect to be able to buy Xi paper in the newly opened bank.
Although it has been used, it is also very precious.
"Next..."
"Mine, mine." In second place was the third son of the Yecheng Wang family, he ran to the window, searched himself, took out seventy money, handed it to the cashier in the window, and said with some embarrassment: "Uh.... My son usually doesn't bring money, that's all.... ”
"Hahaha..."
A few sons and brothers around laughed.
They shook their money bags with a smug look on their faces.
The cashier handed him seven pieces of paper copper money worth ten cents and a slip. The son surnamed Lu next to him saw it and was very dissatisfied: "Huh? How do you give him seven? Give me five? I gave five hundred dollars! ”
Look at the question asked, how mentally retarded and mentally retarded.
The cashier didn't want to answer, but he couldn't help answering, and said, "Childe can do arithmetic?" You're holding a hundred dollars a piece, and he's holding a ten dollar piece. Do the math yourself. ”
"Hurry up, don't get in the way of the people behind." Yuan Xi poked his head out of it.
"Ah, the General..."
The sons of several families raised their heads and looked at them, and hurriedly saluted in fright.
The son surnamed Lu and the prince surnamed Wang, for fear of angering Yuan Xi, both fled and left.
"The back..." The cashier greets.
The people who were still in line stepped forward to continue the exchange.
Yuan Xi retracted his head and said to the frustrated professor and Tian Feng in the room: "The sons and daughters of these families are simply a group of mentally handicapped and rice buckets. I really treat my paper copper currency as Xi paper. ”
He smiled and said, "Don't be upset. In fact... Paper copper currency with a face value of one penny was taken to the Central Plains to buy. It's worth more than a penny. The lord should know that the quality of the paper, even a small one, is enough to drive the literati and artists crazy. The minister dared to say that within three days, our money village... Paper and copper currency with a face value of one penny had to be sold out. ”
"Really?"
"Do you believe it?"
Yuan Xi held his mouth and said, "Since the paper and copper currency with a face value of one penny is not enough, why don't you urge the mint to print more?" You can't get the money when you can save it. ”
"Don't worry, the lord has already ordered to go down." Frustrated.
"Hmm."
Yuan Xi glanced at the hall outside the window and said, "Except for those few mentally handicapped, the rest of the people are fine, and they don't care about the size of the paper copper currency. It is estimated that it will not necessarily be out of stock. ”
"Mr. Yuan Hao."
"Yes." Tian Feng took a step forward.
Yuan Xi instructed: "You go to the major families to go around and see how they react?" By the way, test how much liquidity they have in their hands. If it's too much, you give a little warning and tell them to buy the goods in the market later. ”
"You all have to remember that the real purpose of opening a market is not to make money, nor to sell paper copper money. Rather, before the implementation of the new currency, it is necessary to establish the credibility of the new currency, let it circulate in the market, and let the people slowly adapt to it. At that time, we don't need to do it deliberately, and the people will voluntarily use the new currency, which is the best outcome to open up the market. ”
"So.... The goods in the market should be sold to the people as much as possible. It doesn't hurt to be later. ”
"Yes."
Tian Feng was ordered to leave.
