Chapter 380: Margin

The deposit, in fact, is based on the appearance of the auction, and derived from a kind of thing, at the beginning, when the auction was just generated, there was no such deposit, which is not a good thing for the distinguished guests, take the money to prove their identity? .

However, with more and more auctions, after being deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, there will always be some people who will come to destroy, for example, they deliberately raise the price even though they have no money, or use other methods to rig bids, although the latter cannot be avoided, but the former can be avoided, the method is very simple, that is, to set up a threshold, a margin system.

With the threshold, it can make the convergence of those malicious bidding, this margin will also be adjusted according to the different subject matter, generally the starting price is about 3 million, the margin is between 100-1.5 million, anyone will feel the pain in the flesh, and will not casually bid for the price.

Zhao Xin didn't know that this system was very far-reaching, but he relied on the mastery of the information age, and opened this system at the time of the auction of the Daimyo's Mansion, and the result was of course very happy, not only the deposit was huge, but also the transaction volume was huge.

Han Qi is also a participant in the auction of the Daimyo's Mansion, and the pressure in Lingzhou is gradually increasing, and when there may be a large number of livestock, because of the weather, it may eventually die, the only way he can think of is this auction system and deposit system.

The pressure on Lingzhou's side is getting bigger and bigger, when the Weizhou Cattle and Horse Conference is basically fine, Han Qi of course wants to solve the problem of Lingzhou in advance, and when Qianzhuang raised the question of rationality for him to solve, all he can think of is to first turn this money into a reasonable amount of money that belongs to the northwest, and then everything will be logical.

The deposit system is a system that has never been born in the Northern Song Dynasty, and there is only an experience of the Daimyo's Mansion, but it also makes sense, turning the tradition, through observation, purchase, one-to-one, one-hand payment and hand-delivery of cattle and horses, into a method similar to auction, which needs to be adjusted, but compared with obtaining funds, it is still acceptable.

After Han Qi figured it out, he began to issue a series of decrees, but it was just a reasonable problem, so after legalizing this order, wouldn't this problem be solved!

The Cattle and Horse Conference in Weizhou has become the most eye-catching event in the entire Northwest, and almost the entire Northwest and even half of the Central Plains have participated in such a conference.

In the end, the number of participants, after the Cattle and Horse Conference, was determined to be 56 super chambers of commerce, of which Henan Prefecture, and even some large chambers of commerce in Bianliang also participated, and their strongest was even equivalent to the top ten chambers of commerce in the northwest combined.

The number of middle-level chambers of commerce has reached 500, and there are thousands of various small chambers of commerce, and it can be said unceremoniously that the large chambers of commerce in the south have not been involved in it, and almost the vast majority of the chambers of commerce in the entire north have been involved in it.

This cattle and horse fair attracted some merchants, but more often than not, ordinary landlords.

The Northern Song Dynasty did not have the title of landlord, but there was a system of fifth-class households in the countryside, generally the first and second classes were the so-called landlords, and among the third-class households, there were landlords and wealthy peasants.

Below the third class, in a wealthy place, they may be able to maintain a certain level of food and clothing, but in the Guanzhong Plain, they are basically the objects of struggle in the poor counties, and there is not enough money to buy cattle and horses, but above the third class, especially the second class and the first class, these people's purchasing power is very strong, and even the first class, they can come up with thousands of yuan, or even more funds for families.

The Chamber of Commerce, coupled with Han Qi's own publicity, not only made the vast majority of the Chamber of Commerce take a fancy to these horses and participate in this conference, but also allowed a larger number of high-ranking households to join this cattle and horse conference.

However, the first and second class households pay more attention to cattle, which are the main force of farmers' farming.

Guanzhong is relatively barren, because of long-term development, has been unable to undertake the task of human origin, before the chemical fertilizer, the restoration of the land, it takes a long time, natural restoration, this time may be decades, even hundreds of years.

Time will smooth everything out, but if this time is added to the consumption, it will only get worse and worse. However, land is the source of life, even in the barren Guanzhong, there are millions of people, and everything needs to be imported from outside, and there is not enough local capital.

On the barren land, he kept working hard and used hard work to support himself. This is a reluctant decision, but it is also a necessary decision.

This situation, like a vicious circle, continued on the northern land, from the Han and Tang dynasties, the land in the north and the Guanzhong Plain was gradually barren, and in the Northern Song Dynasty it had reached a considerable deterioration.

Later, because of the appearance of Yuan and Meng, the whole of China was changed to a grassland, and some of it slowly recovered, but it fell back in the Ming and Qing dynasties.

The more barren the land, the more important the labor force is, because only enough labor force can harvest the crops in the field when the farm is busy, so as not to lose, and under the premise of excess, the wasteland can be cleared.

Why Chinese, since the beginning of feudal society, have attached importance to the existence of men, the more men in the family, not only in the countryside high status, but also easy to accumulate family business.

According to feudal tradition, most of the land obtained from land reclamation can become one's own after a certain period of cultivation and even paying certain taxes, as long as it is ownerless wasteland.

A cow can be equivalent to 10 middle-aged laborers, and what is paid is only the grass that the cow eats and a small amount of grain during the busy farming time, which is a temptation that is difficult for ordinary landlords to refuse.

However, the Northern Song Dynasty lacked cultivated cattle, although it was said that the price of a cow was about a dozen runs, not to mention the second-class households, the wealthier third-class households, gritted their teeth and took out this money, it is not impossible.

It is a pity that most of the people who have cultivated cattle in the Northern Song Dynasty are first-class households, or the best among the second-class households, and third-class households, unless there are very few special circumstances, there are no cultivated cattle.

The reason is very simple, there are not so many, the cultivated cattle that enter the Northern Song Dynasty every year, naturally reproduced, there are so many, this part offsets the dead, the growth rate is very small, it is impossible to meet all the needs.

But now, the cattle and horse conference in Weizhou, 200,000 horses, 300,000 cattle, this is a real number, which in previous years, it is impossible, the entire Guanzhong, can have 50,000, it is already very good, and now it has increased by 6 times.

Not to mention that the first and second class are tempted, some third-class households with a little more courage, he began to think of a way.

Before, maybe they were worried about the cost of the road, but now, there is a chamber of commerce in front of the big head, and even organized a part of the group purchase and group back, they are also moved and began to concentrate on Weizhou.

It is conservatively estimated that at least more than 50,000 landlords decided to participate in this cattle and horse conference, and the appearance of these people also made Han Qi hesitate, but in the end, he still decided to implement the deposit system.

That's right, maybe the deposit system will make some landlords feel uneasy, after all, they are different from large chambers of commerce, and it is difficult for them to get this wealth, even if it is a target like a cow, it is at least 5,000.

For the sake of money, Han Qi must be inclined to these prepaid margins, in this way, naturally, it will compress the scattered business, the horse basically will not set up scattered transactions, and the cattle will only put thirty or fifty thousand, and they will still pick the rest, and the state is not very good.

This will greatly affect the overall sales, but in the end Han Qi still decided to do it, because the matter in Lingzhou has reached a time when it must be solved, perhaps, these first- and second-class households, this time, can not get suitable cattle and horses, but in his hands, there are not just so many cattle and horses.

As long as half of the 200,000 horses are sold at the Weizhou Trading Conference, he can at least withdraw more than 5 million deposits, with 5 million yuan, and save a lot of time, directly mobilize a large number of materials from Jingzhao Mansion, especially the scarce large number of tents in the northwest, as well as other building materials, he can quickly lay the foundation in Lingzhou, resist the arrival of the whole winter, and compensate these people by the beginning of spring next year.

At Han Qi's level, indecisiveness has never been his characteristic, and everything will come with a comprehensive vision. ,

In the past, for businessmen, as well as the current reserves, this is the case, there is nothing to look forward to, let alone these first- and second-class households, there is not much impact, even if there is, in Han Qi's opinion, it doesn't matter.

This news was released like this, and this is also the last news of the Weizhou Cattle and Horse Conference, because it was stamped with Han Qi's seal, basically, unless there is a holy decree to overthrow, it is difficult to overturn.

After all, the entire Lingzhou Peace Conference and the war against Western Xia were all under Han Qi's sole responsibility, and the prime minister and privy envoy had no right to change the things he decided.

This is not to say that Han Qi's power is greater than that of the privy envoy and the prime minister, it is because of the rules, in the matters within his own responsibility, as long as it is not obviously violated, otherwise, only the holy decree can be overturned.

Would Renzong have issued such a decree? Of course not.

Not to mention that Han Qi made great contributions in Western Xia, and directly caused the Western Xia, which had always plagued the Northern Song Dynasty, to completely perish, even if it didn't, it was obviously a reference to the method of the Daimyo's auction, and Renzong would oppose it, this was the method proposed by his son.

However, such a move has caused an uproar in the entire northwest, and the impact is huge, and even the transaction amount of the Weizhou Cattle and Horse Conference has not reached what was expected.
