As he spoke, Wei Qi led the owner of the Four Seasons Fang to the private room on the second floor, a middle-aged man under forty, but he didn't look like a Sven who was proficient in music and rhythm, but more like a powerful mother's family.

Why do you say that, this person will habitually look at it carefully from top to bottom, inside and out. Of course, whenever you see each other, you should also look at it.

But this person gives you a feeling of doing CT, he seems to be able to look at every corner of you without falling, and then start to calculate how many catties and taels you have.

The "owner" is nominally the head of the music fang, but in fact, there is an owner behind the music fang, and the owner is the head of the department and the cashier who coordinates the operation of the entire music fang, which is equivalent to the position of CEO.

"Zhao Sheng, the owner of the Lower Four Seasons Fang." The owner Zhao Sheng raised his hand to give a slight bow and a little introduction, and then asked, "Dare to ask Your Excellency?" ”

Bailiyan didn't report his home, and handed over the tooth tag he carried to Zhao Sheng, Zhao Sheng is also a person who knows the rules, and the people who can show the personal tooth tag are not ordinary magnates, but he knows all the nobles in Jinye City, but he has never seen Bailiyan, so he became suspicious.

His first reaction when he took the waist card was that this waist card was not owned by Liang Guo, and he immediately sneered in his heart, thinking that the little overlord who didn't know where to go, didn't know that the sky was high and the earth was thick to come here to play prestige, and then he was waiting for him to take a closer look at the big words "Xianguo Yongxing Hou Bailiyan", his hand shook violently, and his face changed greatly:

"Yong, Yongxing Hou, Your Excellency is Yongxing Hou."

Baili Yan has seen a wide range of people, not to mention reading countless people, but he can still distinguish colors and people's hearts. Zhao Sheng's face is powerful, and most of the time he is also a vicious slave in front of the master and behind the master.

So he adjusted his tone, and said with a bit of disregard and arrogance:

"It's Ben Hou, these two female music owners will make a price, Ben Hou will redeem them for them."

Zhao Sheng glanced at the two sisters, and a bright smile appeared on his face:

"The famous epicenter of the Central Plains Yongxing Hou is here, Zhao is really flattered, this matter is easy to say, but I don't know how Yongxing Hou is going to make a price?"

"Ben Hou asked people to inquire about the money for the redemption of these two girls before, and they asked for 3,600 silver, and the owner of Zhao Fang knows how much of this kind of female music can be bought at this price in my Xianguo."

"Huh...... Xianguo is rich in the world, Yongxing Hou is rich and generous, this matter is known to everyone in the world, and it is also known below. But the Xian country is the Xian country, and the Liang country is the Liang country, and the two countries are very different and cannot be compared. ”

"The same is the same music square, the same is the land of the Son of Heaven, can there be such a reason for favoring one over the other!" Bai Liyan asked, her tone extremely stern.

Zhao Sheng was not afraid, and continued to say calmly:

"Yongxing Hou may not know, although the ransom price of these two girls is 3,600 silver, but if it is really a redemption, there are really few people in Liang Guozhen who can take out 3,600 silver in one breath, so this workshop allows other gold, silver, jewelry, land, and property transactions, and even more Xianguo new coins, so it can't cost 3,600 silver to redeem the girl."

"This rule is understood, but it can't be the price of 3,600 silver, does the Four Seasons Square have to recognize this price just because it was opened by the Son of Heaven?"

"Yongxing Hou misunderstood, this is not what Zhao meant, but the collegiate discussion of all Fangdong, and Zhao is also acting on orders."

"Since you want this price, you have to have a reason, don't you? You tell Ben Hou why it is so expensive to listen to music and enjoy optimistic dance in the Four Seasons Workshop, and Ben Hou also wants to know how this business is done, and I will follow suit in the future. ”

Zhao Sheng's face was full of courtesy and smiles, on the land of Jinye, even the doctor and the feudal monarch had to give him three points of color, and the foreign magnates were not in his eyes at all, only this Yongxing Marquis, few people in the world dared to offend, and he did not dare to slack off.

After some quick thought, Zhao Sheng was embarrassed and said:

"Yongxing Hou doesn't know, in recent years, there is less and less gold and silver on the market, and there are more and more goods, the goods that can be bought with an inch of silver in the past are now only half a or even thirty percent, and the gold and silver are getting less and less, it seems that the goods are getting cheaper and cheaper, but in fact they are getting more and more expensive."

"That's not right, who can buy rice with silver, in the past, one stone of rice and two dollars, now it is consistent, isn't it very good, what does this have to do with gold and silver."

"Rice, of course, has nothing to do with gold or silver, but silk, tea, land, fine cotton, and even glass, porcelain, mirrors, soaps, perfumes, pearls, and pearl powder from Xianguo are all purchased in gold and silver, and this is the bulk of the cost of Le Fang.

When all the gold and silver went to buy goods and went into the pockets of merchants, there was less gold and silver in the market, and more copper coins. Gold and silver seem to be able to buy more goods, but gold and silver are already scarce, and now they are all earned by merchants, and they are actually more valuable.

Therefore, Four Seasons Place had to raise the ransom price to make as much gold and silver as possible, and customers could also trade valuable valuables if they wished. ”

Hearing this, Bai Liyan was puzzled, so she asked:

"Why, Liang Guo's soap is still bought with silver?"

"That's right. Yongxing Hou, you are in this business, all the soap in the world is purchased from Yongxing City, you know this matter best, can you lie in the future. ”

In fact, as early as 636, in order to cooperate with the issuance of new coins, soap was a common consumer product, and the improvement of the supply of oil and alkali made soap achieve large-scale industrial production, so the restrictions on the purchase of gold and silver were abolished one after another, and they could be purchased with new coins, so as to benefit more people.

After 641, the rigid proportion of gold and silver payment for exported soap was completely abolished in order to expand the export and return of new currency, so the soap exported abroad in these years did not need to be traded in gold and silver, and the new currency of Xianguo could be purchased directly.

As for glass art, perfumes, pearl powder, fine cotton and other light industrial products, although some luxury goods still have a hard proportion of gold and silver payment, most other industrially produced goods have basically abolished this policy, and the direct transaction of Singapore currency has been realized.

The reason for this is precisely because of the fact that the salty country is the largest precious metal return place, the total amount of external precious metals is relatively limited in the short term, and when a large number of precious metals are remitted into the salty country, it will inevitably cause the scarcity of foreign precious metals.

When all commodities are denominated in gold and silver, it hinders the export and financial liquidity of commodities, making gold and silver more scarce, and commodity prices falling abnormally.

Therefore, there was a need for a currency with universal payment capacity to replace precious metals, and it was precisely this function that the gold and silver treasures of the Xianguo State bore were performed.

In order to export a large number of new coins, it is imperative to reduce or even eliminate the hardness of precious metals. However, in the past 20 years, a large amount of precious metals have been remitted to the Xian State and deposited in the Xian people, the treasury and the money mills, so the relative stock of gold and silver in the other princes of the Central Plains has been greatly reduced.

At the same time, the use of gold, silver and copper to mint new coins in the Xianguo country also diluted and wasted some precious metals, which also indirectly aggravated the scarcity of foreign precious metals.

In recent years, the agricultural technology of the Xianguo has benefited the Central Plains, and the output of basic daily necessities has increased significantly, coupled with the low prices of industrialized products in the Xianguo, which has rushed into all parts of the Central Plains, which has led to the popularization of commodities.

Popularization will bring about an increase in the purchasing power of low-end currencies and a stronger purchasing power of high-end currencies. But the premise is that the supply of high-end money is sufficient, and when the supply of high-end money is insufficient, the value of the currency is increasing, but at the same time, it is distorted and becomes more expensive.

If in the past, a piece of silver could buy a bun, and now a piece of silver can buy a hundred buns, the purchasing power of silver is enhanced, but if there used to be 10,000 pieces of silver, each piece of silver could buy a bun, and now there is only one silver in the whole world, but the exchange rate of the government determines that only a hundred buns can be bought, then whether this silver has depreciated or appreciated, in fact, it has depreciated, because this silver has become the only one in the world, so it has unlimited value.

And now due to the economic status of the Xian country, the official artificially fixed the exchange rate, because it is beneficial to the trade of the Xian country, so the value of domestic precious metals and new currencies is relatively reasonable, but abroad, this is unreasonable.

Due to the scarcity of precious metals abroad, and the characteristics of the only source of commodities in the Xian country, the princes of various countries had to raise more gold and silver in order to exchange gold and silver from the Xian country for strategic materials that could be traded, and the special commodities that did not need to be traded in gold and silver must also be traded in precious metals, so in the case of precious metals and strong currency exchange rates nailed, the rarity of foreign precious metals was intensified.

Therefore, there are two sides to trade, and reasonable policies in the country, with the export of trade, foreign market policies and productive forces cannot keep up, and even the system cannot keep up, which will inevitably cause a wide range of impacts.

But fortunately, the scope of precious metals is only limited to strategic materials and luxury goods, and ordinary daily necessities are basically unaffected.

However, what makes Bailiyan puzzling is that Liang Guo obtained millions worth of silver last year, which can completely release precious metals to increase market liquidity, and now it seems that it does not, that is, Liang Guo hoarded the precious metals earned last year, and at the same time continued to accelerate the recovery of precious metals in the market.

However, the problem is that in addition to arms, iron tools, luxury goods, and technical products, all other light and heavy industrial products exported by the country have been paid for in Singapore dollars.

Even because of the lack of supply in the international market, a large amount of precious metals are still needed to fill the transaction in the short term, but compared with the proportion of precious metals payment of more than 80 percent seven or eight years ago, the proportion of precious metal payment is now less than 20 percent of the total amount, and the demand for precious metals in Xianguo has been greatly reduced.

Thinking about it, there are only two possibilities, one is that Liang Guo accelerates the recovery of precious metals in the market, which will exacerbate the scarcity of precious metals in the Central Plains market, and Xianguo is the largest precious metal trade surplus country, when the flow of precious metals in the market stops, or even disappears completely, the trading of commodities that require large precious metal transactions will also stop.

Although each country has its own gold and silver minerals, the total amount of gold and silver naturally produced each year is actually much less than the demand for precious metals in trade, and when the stock of precious metals in the market is drastically reduced, it still has an impact on commodity trading.

Second, based on the first point, the lack of high-level currency circulation in the market will inevitably lead to the stagnation of commodity circulation, and the market generally needs precious metal trading products, all of which are controlled by the elites of various countries.

When the powerful do not have precious metal income, or drastically reduce the income of precious metals or even make ends meet, this is undoubtedly forcing the whole world to the opposite side of the market.

In other words, Xianguo, as a large country with a surplus of precious metals, offended all the powerful forces in the world, and at that time, the princes were full of complaints, and Liang Tianzi only needed to cough, throw a look, and say how to divide the spoils, and the rest did not want to know what the result would be.

Of course, this must be based on a premise, the equipment level of the Xian State is maintained with the princes for a generation, and the eighteenth road princes crush the Xian State with their absolute superiority in troops.
