In front of Huaxia Bank, although there are still people to exchange money, but there is no need to queue up like the beginning, since paper money can replace silver money in the market, why bother to go back and forth in one move?

When the market stabilized, Li Zicheng summoned Huang Shou, Li Yue, Liu Xing, and Zhu Zhi, the proprietors of the four major merchants of Huang, Li, Liu, and Zhu, to the Mandate of Heaven Governor's Mansion.

They were the heroes of the issuance of banknotes, and the first batch of 50,000 yuan banknotes, these four major merchants subscribed to 36,000 yuan, accounting for more than 70%.

Li Zicheng summoned them, but also had the intention of rewarding the heroes, in the name of reward, on the one hand, to consolidate the paper money in Lanzhou City, on the other hand, it was also for the development of industry, and even had the intention of contacting the Hexi Governor's Office.

"The Grand Duke!" Huang Shou, Li Yue, Liu Xing, and Zhu Zhi saw Li Zicheng and hurriedly crawled on the ground.

"A few proprietors don't have to be polite!" Li Zicheng stretched out his hand and pointed to the wooden chair opposite, "Look, a few people don't have to be polite!" ”

"Metropolitan Governor ......" After Huang Shou got up, he hesitated, this was the first time he met Li Zicheng, and he was terrified.

"Huang Dongzhu, everyone is their own people," Li Zicheng smiled faintly, and asked He Xiaomi to serve tea, "This time, the Mandate of Heaven Governor's Mansion issued banknotes, and several people contributed a lot." ”

"It is an honor for the grass people to serve the Metropolitan Governor!" Huang Shouqian gave in, and just dropped half of his ass opposite Li Zicheng, and Li Yue, Liu Xing, and Zhu Zhi also sat on the side.

Li Zicheng saw it in his eyes, and he didn't say anything, but said: "You helped Huaxia Bank to issue banknotes, and you obeyed the law, and the governor of Bendu will never treat you badly!" ”

"The Metropolitan Governor is serious!" Li Yue is Li Zicheng's family, but he has no kinship, he accompanied him and said carefully: "Since the Mandate of Heaven Army came to Lanzhou, Lanzhou has been prosperous in all industries, and the grass people are already grateful, and the grass people and others have just done their part, and they can't be the eyes of the governor!" ”

"If you can think like this, the governor of Pontus will be relieved," Li Zicheng said with a smile: "But when it comes to the prosperity of all industries, Lanzhou is still far behind, not to mention the rich places such as Jingshi and Jiangnan, even if it is much worse than Xi'an!" ”

Zhu Zhi's heart moved, and he whispered: "What does the governor mean......"

Li Zichang sighed and said: "Although Lanzhou has cleared up the war and the people finally have food and clothing, but in order to truly realize the prosperity of all industries, and even reach the wealth and prosperity of the two capitals, several proprietors need to play a leading role." ”

The four of them nodded mechanically, but they looked at each other, and they didn't know what to do for a while, Huang Shou said carefully: "Although the Metropolitan Governor, the grass people and others have this dreamland, they don't know how to do it for a while......"

"If Lanzhou wants to reach the situation of two capitals, or even more than two capitals, it is not caused by three or two days," Li Zicheng smiled slightly, and continued: "If you want Lanzhou to quickly become prosperous, you must first abide by the law, and the governor of Bendu will not be jealous of your money, as long as you pay taxes according to the rate!" ”

Li Yue glanced at it and said loudly: "The grass people will not be too late for the teachings of the Grand Governor!" ”

"That's good," Li Zicheng said with a smile, "but just abide by the law, Lanzhou will not quickly become prosperous, and you will not be able to gather the wealth of rich businessmen in Jiangnan, the key is that the people have no money to spare, and the goods in your hands cannot expand sales." ”

The four of them were stunned for a moment, looked at each other, Li Zicheng's words, let them have a new understanding of the firm, the people are the customers of the firm, the people have surplus money in their hands, in order to buy goods, the firm can make profits.

It's not that they don't understand this truth, but they are all businessmen, and they have always thought about maximizing profits, and it is impossible to think from the perspective of the people.

Li Zicheng's words gave them a new understanding of the firm, and it turned out that the relationship between the firm and the people was complementary, and both were prosperous......

However, Li Zicheng was not born as a merchant, could it be that he was forced to embark on this road because of a merchant who fell into the middle of the road? It's not like that......

Huang Shou thought for a moment, and hurriedly said: "The words of the Metropolitan Governor will make the grass people wait for the mouth to be stopped, but ...... The grass people are stupid, ask the metropolitan governor for advice, how should the grass people and others do it......"

If you understand, wouldn't Lao Tzu's 400 years of experience be in vain? Many people only remember that Deng Taizong said, "Let some people get rich first and drive everyone to common prosperity", but they don't know Deng Taizong's original intention: only when everyone is rich can we promote the further prosperity of commerce and embark on the road of a virtuous circle!

The reason why Mount Everest is the "roof of the world" is because of its high starting point!

Li Zicheng smiled faintly: "Only by developing the industry can we not only let the people embark on the road to prosperity, but also make the business profitable." ”

"Industry?" Huang Shou frowned, isn't the firm an industry?

Li Zicheng took out two drawings from his arms and threw them in front of Huang Shou and Li Yue, "This is the production drawings of toothpaste and toothbrush, according to the drawings, you can produce toothpaste and toothbrush!" ”

Li Zicheng really can't look down on such civilian products, and only when they are handed over to businessmen can they really be carried forward, and the Mandate of Heaven Governor's Mansion only needs to control strategic materials and luxury goods.

"Toothpaste? Toothbrush? The two took the drawings, but they couldn't see a clue.

"It's a protective gear for cleaning teeth, every person will use it, the sales volume is very considerable, the profit will not be too high, the victory is in large quantities, and the truth of small profits and quick turnover, you don't need to be reminded by the governor of Pontus, right?" Li Zicheng briefly introduced the market prospects of toothpaste and toothbrushes.

Huang Shou was immediately overjoyed, this is a unique thing, and he doesn't have to worry about not being able to sell it for a good price? "But the Grand Duke, what does this toothpaste and toothbrush have to do with the prosperity of the people......

"Are you stupid?" Li Zicheng said with a smile: "You set up a factory to produce goods, and you still want to sell them, can you do it alone?" To recruit the people to work is to be paid! ”

“……”

Seeing that they were not very clear, Li Zicheng further enlightened: "Each factory and commercial house may not recruit many people, if there are 100 or 1,000 factories, how many people are needed?" ”

Li Yue was also overjoyed, "The grass people understand, the people have been paid, and they have the money in their hands to have the ability to buy goods!" In this way, the business of the trading house will be more profitable......" Later, the joy in his eyes gradually faded.

Li Zicheng frowned, and he knew Li Yue's thoughts, "When the people have surplus money, they don't necessarily go to your family's commercial house to shop, you don't have to worry, it depends on whether your family has the goods that the people need, besides, you set up a factory, and you have profits ...... yourself."

Huang Shou hesitated, and then arched his hand again: "The grass people understand that as long as the people have money in their hands, they will always go to a certain commercial house to buy goods. ”

"Huang Dongzhu is right," Li Zicheng smiled knowingly, "but you can't restrict the people, whose house the people are willing to go to to shop, it depends on whose goods are good, good quality and low price, is what the people want." ”

"Thank you Dadu Governor for your teachings," Li Yue also gave his hand, his heart was already full of expectations, "Dadu Dudu, how much silver is needed for this drawing...... How many banknotes? ”

"This drawing is given to you for free," Li Zicheng's face was like a spring breeze, "In addition, the governor of Pontus also gave you a piece of land for free in the industrial park outside Xicheng, you can build the factory yourself!" ”

"Thank you, Governor!" Huang Shou and Li Yue glanced at each other and hurriedly bowed to the ground.

"Get up!" Li Zicheng said lightly: "If you get profits in the future, don't forget to pay business taxes, and although toothpaste and toothbrushes are unique, but now in Lanzhou and Xining, the people have just eaten and clothed, and the profits can't be too high, unless you can sell them to Jingshi and Jiangnan!" ”

After Huang Shou got up, he said loudly: "The grass people must not only remember the teachings of the Dadu Governor, but also pass them on to their descendants!" ”

A trace of guilt flashed in Liu Xing's eyes, he was also a guest, he was ashamed of the Mandate of Heaven Governor's Mansion, naturally he would not get Li Zicheng's favor, causing today's embarrassment, he was responsible, Li Zicheng forgave him, it was already the greatest favor, how much he hoped that he would be like Huang Shou, and have the opportunity to thank Li Zicheng in person......

Zhu Zhi was annoyed, knowing that this was the case, he should have subscribed to 10,000 yuan in banknotes like the Huang family and the Li family that day, for a mere 2,000 yuan...... It seems that it can be exchanged for silver money, and there is no loss, but it is just an attitude towards the Mandate of Heaven......

He sighed secretly, when he came to the Mandate of Heaven Governor's Mansion today, he could only look at Huang Shou and Li Yue, and he didn't know if his belongings were getting bigger and bigger with the Huang family and the Li family!

Li Zicheng's face still kept a smile, and taking advantage of everyone's concerns, he took out two more drawings from his underwear on the right side, "Liu Dongzhu, Zhu Dongzhu, you have also made great contributions to the issuance of banknotes, and the governor of Pontus will never forget you!" ”

"Ah......" Zhu Zhi was overjoyed, and Liu Xing was happy and ashamed......

Li Zicheng threw the drawings to them, and said calmly: "Liu Dongzhu's this can produce woolen thread clothes, and Zhu Dongzhu's is to produce leather clothes and shoes, and the sales should be good, but you need to go to the Hexi Governor's Mansion to buy fur, and it will be harder!" ”

"It's not hard, it's not hard!" Liu Xing and Zhu Zhi, where can they take care of future production, and they can be treated equally by the governor, they are already grateful, and they are busy kowtowing to Li Zicheng to thank them.

……………………………………………………

With the assistance of the four major commercial banks, the market in Lanzhou is more stable, the banknotes have been in normal circulation, and the people no longer have the heart to refuse.

Some small merchants found that paper money was more convenient than silver money, at least to carry on the body, not as heavy as silver money, and gradually, some people began to go to Huaxia Bank to exchange paper money.

Guo Shijun was secretly happy, he didn't expect the issuance of banknotes to be so smooth, creating an era, and it was really so convenient?

Ao, no, it is the Ming Dynasty that is about to die, in the history of later generations, the one who overthrew the Ming Dynasty is not "Li Zicheng"? After he "Li Zicheng" overthrew the Ming Dynasty, it was a pity that he made a wedding dress for the Manchu Qing Dynasty, so that the Han people lived in dire straits......

When I came to Daming, I will definitely assist this "Li Zicheng" and further carry forward the Han people's country and the entire China!

He took advantage of the opportunity to issue 70,000 banknotes in Lanzhou to further activate the Lanzhou market.
