Chapter 286: Imperial Money in the Palace (Part II)

Wang Fu finally accepted the money, but after sending Chang Gaoban away, he immediately asked people to prepare the carriage, and he had to immediately exchange the money for real copper money, otherwise he would not be sure.

At this time, the snow was bigger, and the road was covered with a layer of snow that did not reach the surface of the feet, but Wang Fu still urged the coachman to speed up, he was worried that he would not be able to redeem the money if he was late, after all, he had no less contact, and often heard that a certain Jiaozi shop was suddenly closed, and all the Jiaozi sent out before became waste paper, and he gave the palace a year's meat, which is not a small amount, if he can't get it back, I'm afraid he will have to hurt his muscles and bones.

Tokyo money shop is on the west corner of the street, although Wang Fu has not heard of this money store before, but also quickly inquired about the specific location, but when he came here, he found that the front door of the money store was also crowded with carriages, finally the coachman found a place to park, he jumped off the carriage and immediately entered the money store, but found that it was also crowded with people, and there were several acquaintances among them, it seemed that they were all here to exchange money.

"Brother Wang, you're here too!" As soon as Wang Fu came in, he saw a short and fat middle-aged man immediately come over to greet him.

Wang Fu knows the other party, this person is called Qian Feng, as his name suggests, he is indeed a very rich person, he is a famous big silk merchant in the capital, almost half of the silk used in the palace is supplied by him, Wang Fu has dealt with him before, and both of them like to drink tea, so they also have some friendship.

"Brother Qian, are you also here to redeem money, how is the situation?" Wang Fu also asked the other party at the moment.

"Yes, the rules in the palace have suddenly changed this year, and all the money from this money bank is used at the checkout, and I also have no bottom in my heart, so I hurriedly came over to redeem the money, but this money store seems to be not bad, as long as you take out the money, you can exchange money, and many people have left with the money just now." When Qian Feng said this, someone happened to carry a box past them, and it seemed that someone had cashed out the money again.

"It's good to be able to redeem it, but it's still not safe to take these papers." When Wang Fu heard Qian Feng's words, he saw with his own eyes that he could redeem money, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief at the moment.

"By the way, this money bank still has to be numbered, the one next to it is it, Brother Wang, you go and get a number, and when someone calls your number, you can go inside to get the money." Qian Feng suddenly thought of something at this time, and then patted his head and pointed to a counter next to the door.

Wang Fu also thanked the other party when he heard this, and immediately walked to the counter to get the number, and then found a place to sit down with Qian Feng, chatting without a word, and there were also a few acquaintances who came to say hello during the period, after all, they are all mixed in the business field of Tokyo City, even if the industry is different, but they can be familiar with each other.

Because there were more people, Wang Fu waited until almost noon before his turn, but Qian Feng came earlier than him, so he cashed the money an hour earlier, and then said goodbye and left, which also made Wang Fu more assured, there was a fire in the hall of this money store, which was already warm, and there was free tea, and it was not too boring when waiting.

When the guy from Qian Xing called Wang Fu's number, he immediately got up and went inside, only to find that it was a separate small room, the room was named after the twelve earthly branches such as Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang, and he wrote the word room on the number, so he pushed the door open and went in, and it turned out that there was a big counter inside, and behind the counter was a very young guy, who smiled kindly at him when he came in.

At that moment, Wang Fu took out the hot money in his arms, and then handed it to the counter, the young man behind the counter checked one by one, and then calculated the number, and began to count the money very happily, because the number was larger, so it took more than half an hour to redeem it, and the heavy copper money filled two money boxes, and then carried it outside by the other two guys, Wang Fu also called his own buddy, and finally carried the money box into the car.

At the same time, Huozi behind the money store watched boxes of copper coins being carried out, and couldn't help but show a distressed expression and complained to Li Zhang: "Big brother, according to today's exchange method, I'm afraid our money won't last a few days?" ”

"It's okay, the money in the palace will be deposited tomorrow, so the money that is redeemed today is actually the palace money, which does not have much impact on us, and it must be exchanged in full today, as long as we can survive today, our reputation will be played, and someone will definitely be willing to save money in a few days." Li Zhang said with a smile at this time.

Li Zhang tried his best before, what he wanted was today's scene, although he came to redeem money today, but the situation has been opened, these people can redeem the money back, and they may save the money in the future, after all, the credibility of the money bank has been established.

"I hope so!" Huozi was still a little distressed at this time, after all, watching the money in the treasury being shipped out one after another, he also felt that his heart was dripping blood, but this couldn't be blamed on him, after all, the money store had been open for so many days, and he hadn't cashed out much money in total, but today it was hemorrhaging, and the money he cashed out in one day was several times more than the previous two months.

It wasn't until the evening that there were fewer people in the money store to redeem money, after all, the weather was not good, and it was almost curfew, so even if there was no money, it was too late, so they could only wait for tomorrow to come again, and Li Zhang also asked people to clear the accounts, and then checked it himself.

As a result, today alone, more than 70,000 yuan were redeemed, and this is because the people who came to exchange today are all large, so the speed of exchange is very slow, and there are not many guests at the end of the day, and many of the remaining people have not been able to exchange, otherwise the money in their treasury today is simply not enough, after all, these are the imperial merchants who supply the palace, and the annual accounts are not small, and the copper money in the money bank is not enough for them to exchange.

But Li Zhang doesn't have to worry, because tomorrow the copper money in the palace will be sent, and the money was originally to be paid to those imperial merchants, just because of Li Zhang and Zhao Zhen's request, so Queen Zhang agreed to deposit into the money bank, which is considered to be a hand by the money bank, which does not have a big impact on the palace, but also makes it a lot more convenient for the people who buy it, and it is of great significance to the money bank.

When Li Zhang checked the accounts, he was very surprised to find that many of them did not fully exchange the money when they exchanged it, but left a small part, and it is estimated that they also felt that the money was convenient to use, and the money bank could exchange it at any time, so they left a part for their own use, which is a great news for the money bank, and when these people get used to the money, the money bank will also have a group of loyal customers.

In the next few days, the money bank received a lot of guests who came to exchange money every day, and the money in the palace was also delivered to the money bank on time, with these money, Li Zhang let go of the exchange, so that he won the trust of many guests, many people are cashing the big head, leaving a small part of the money for their own use, after all, they are all businessmen, many people have some business dealings with each other, it used to be too troublesome to settle with copper money, and now it is much more convenient to use money money.

In fact, this time it was also a coincidence, just happened to meet the day when the palace once a year to settle the account for the imperial merchants, so the number of copper coins exchanged was very large, but this also completely started the fame of the money bank, and the merchants who could offer goods to the palace were generally the leaders of various industries, and they could accept money, which means that their industry may also accept money in the future.

In fact, it is true, just after this exchange passed, many people knew that there was a Tokyo money store on West Corner Tower Street, and there was a relationship between the palace behind this money store, and the usual expenses of the palace were all money from the money bank.

You must know that the business in the palace is not something you can do if you want to do it, many people beg their grandfather to tell their grandmother that they want to sell their own goods to the palace, so the people in the palace are all uncles to them, and the money given by the uncle is even if it is a piece of paper, you have to keep it, not to mention that this piece of paper can also be exchanged for real money, which makes them slowly accept money, and the most significant change is that more and more people have recently begun to take copper coins to money stores to exchange for money.

Seeing this situation, Li Zhang was also excited, and even deliberately took the time to go to the market to go around, and found that most of the shops have begun to accept money to pay, compared with the previous situation of less than one in ten, it is already a great progress, in fact, whether it is Jiaozi or money, are in the stage of just starting to exert force, and now the money is grabbing a market share, and now the money has taken the lead, walking in front of other banknotes.

With this advantage, Li Zhang also began to plan to expand the advantage, such as letting the money bank launch more services, such as other Jiaozi shops need to pay a deposit fee to deposit money, but the money bank is now free, because the money bank is also preparing to lend, after all, this is the biggest profit point of the money bank, and even if the income is stable in the future, it can also give interest to the guests who deposit money, just like the bank in the future.

Of course, it's too early to open interest now, after all, the meal has to be eaten one bite at a time, as long as the money can seize the market of the entire capital, then other banknotes will be squeezed out, that's right, what Li Zhang has to do is to monopolize, because only by monopolizing the market, can greater reforms be carried out, and it will be convenient to expand outward in the future, maybe now it will not be possible to do the situation that there are bank outlets all over the country in the future, but at least in some major cities in the Great Song Dynasty, you have to see the figure of money.

Seeing that the Chinese New Year is coming, the money store is getting busier and busier, but Huozi and Douzi are becoming more and more experienced, and there is no need for Li Zhang to go to the money store every day.

However, just when the New Year was about to be celebrated, a major event suddenly broke out in the court, Wang Qinruo, who was known as the head of the hundred officials, suddenly fell seriously ill, and Liu E also personally took Zhao Zhen to visit.
