Chapter 331 Silver Ticket
For the Jiaozi of the Song Dynasty, Su Guansheng also knew very well, with the development of Guangnan's economy, the bulk transactions were as little as 1,000 taels of silver, and as much as tens of thousands, and the currency in circulation was mainly silver, copper coins, and gold coins and silver coins in Xiyi, which were very chaotic.
Merchants from Hunan and Guangxi had to spend a lot of effort to transport silver money, and when they came out to buy things, they had to carry silver boxes, which was really troublesome.
In ancient times, half a catty and eight taels, and now the unit is ten taels and one catty, and people travel and bring a pound of money, and it is uncomfortable to put it there.
The development of the commodity economy and the ordinariness of non-governmental trade will inevitably have a huge role in promoting the economy if we can produce the same thing as the phenomenon of Jiaozi.
"Elder Ge, but are you interested in this silver ticket?" Chen Bangyan on the side saw Su Guansheng stop, so he smiled and said.
Su Guansheng nodded and said, "If this thing is popular, it will be greatly beneficial to trade!" The official wants to hold this thing in his hands, what does Iwano think? ”
Chen Bangyan heard this, frowned slightly, stroked his long beard a few times and said: "Although this thing is wonderful, but we don't know its laws, don't know its reasoning, and don't understand its operation. I thought it would be better to let it develop, and after the people agreed, the government also figured out the routine and came to do this silver ticket. ”
A piece of paper can be equivalent to silver money, which makes people think of treasure money, and treasure money has completely chilled people's hearts, if the government boldly issues any silver bills, the people will only think that the government wants to collect money, then not only the reputation of the silver bills will be completely stinky, but the commercial houses in Guangzhou will also be hit, so the gains outweigh the losses.
"What Iwano said makes sense~" Su Guansheng nodded slightly, "Then we will help it develop first and wait for its changes." ”
At this time, Su Guansheng smiled slightly outside, and glanced at the guards who guarded them, and the guards immediately separated everyone, "Let go, let the elder come in and take a look!" \u000b Everyone found out that Su Guansheng, the political envoy of Guangdong, was actually here, and everyone was scared to dodge, and the Xiyi and the money shopkeeper were shocked when they heard that Su Ge was coming.
Su Guansheng walked into the inner circle, and the money shopkeeper immediately bowed and said: "Xiaomin gives a gift to the pavilion elder!" \u000bNa Xiyi put one hand on his chest, bent down and saluted: "Portuguese merchant Ferdinand Diola, see the honorable cabinet lord~"\u000bSu Guansheng looked at the money shopkeeper, helped him up and asked, "What is the name of the money shopkeeper, and where is he from?" "\u000b" back to the old pavilion, the small people called Qian Donglou, Qingyuan people, read a few years of books, repeatedly failed, ten years ago in Guangzhou to invest in Yue Shengheng, is now the head of the Guangzhou general number. ”
Su Guansheng looked at the piece of paper he was holding in his hand and asked with a smile: "This is the silver ticket issued by the thirteen commercial houses?" Is it really worth 30,000 taels? ”
"Don't dare to deceive Lord Cabinet, this silver ticket can indeed withdraw 30,000 taels of silver in any of the thirteen branches. Everyone in the world says that businessmen value profits, but in fact, businessmen pay more attention to faithfulness, and there are so many peers here today, how can I destroy my reputation if I am happy? Please also ask the cabinet to be clear! ”
Qian Donglou said, while handing over the silver ticket to Su Guansheng, Su Guansheng nodded, took the silver ticket to check, and saw a beautiful line of small block in the silver ticket, written "30,000 taels of silver", he felt that it was not unusual, but take a closer look, there are many fonts around the small Kai, there are seven or eight kinds of notes alone, in addition to many incomprehensible symbols and code words, he knew that this silver ticket is not simple, there are many hidden mysteries, and outsiders can't understand it at all.
At this time, Su Guansheng was even more sure that the silver ticket was really worth 30,000 taels, so he smiled and said to the Portuguese merchant on the side: "How about this official give a witness to the two of you today, and see how this silver ticket can be exchanged for 30,000 taels of silver, okay?" ”
"How do I exchange this silver ticket?" Su Guansheng glanced at the money shopkeeper and said. \u000b This silver ticket is currently only circulating among the thirteen commercial houses, if there is a Guangdong political envoy Su Guansheng to witness, then it will be much easier to promote, Qian Donglou heard the words, his heart was excited, and hurriedly said: "Back to the Cabinet, this silver ticket was originally to be exchanged in the city, but today the Cabinet can send someone to take this silver ticket, and the branch of any thirteen commercial houses in the city can withdraw 30,000 taels of silver." ”
"Isn't it okay if it's not Yuexing?"
"Naturally, today, in order to let the cabinet and your peers witness, I am happy to pay for my own money, and let the silver horn that redeems the money bring the two camps." \u000bWhen Su Guansheng saw this, he immediately ordered a staff member, and there were merchants in the crowd who were interested in silver tickets, to also enter the city to see what was going on.
Merchants were very sensitive to money, and they soon realized that if this kind of silver ticket could really be exchanged for money, then they could completely exchange the silver money earned in Guangzhou for silver tickets, and then go back and withdraw the silver money in the Hunan and Guangxi commercial banks.
Su Guansheng stood on the wharf for a while, checked the rice and grain purchased from Nanyang, and learned about the income of the Guangzhou City Shipping Company in July, and the convoy of silver in the city finally came to the wharf.
"Look at the shopkeeper of Heshengtang Zhou~"
On the wharf, a group of businessmen suddenly exclaimed when they saw the old man coming over with the silver taels, obviously the old man was quite prestigious in the business community of Guangzhou.
The old man arched his hand to everyone, walked up to Qian Donglou, and immediately sang: "Yue Shengxing took 30,000 taels of silver, and asked the money shopkeeper to accept it, and asked the money shopkeeper to pay 30 taels of handling fees and 10 taels of transportation fees." ”
Su Guansheng saw that the shopkeeper used a brush that week to write a line of small characters on the silver ticket, and the handover between the two was completed, and he couldn't help but admire slightly.
Seeing this, the Portuguese merchant on the side was even more secretly surprised, and he couldn't help but be surprised: "Oh ~ God, I suddenly remembered a legend, it was in the time of Marco Polo, he told the Byzantine emperor about the richness of the East, and took out a piece of paper, and told the emperor that this is the money of the East, the emperor laughed, threw the piece of paper into the fire, and the piece of paper turned into ashes, and then the emperor took out a gold coin and burned it on the fire, and said arrogantly, 'You fool, you have been deceived by the Orientals, this is the money!'" Marco Polo also smiled and said, "Your Majesty, you just burned a hundred gold!" '~Oh~ This is actually true ~ my god ~"
The transaction between Yue and the Portuguese was successfully completed, and Su Guansheng called the two shopkeepers to his side and asked, "Do you have a semicolon in Huguang?" If the government deposits millions of silver in Guangzhou, can it take out the silver money from Changsha, and how much is the handling fee? ”
When the two of them heard this, they were immediately shocked, and both of them realized that this was a great opportunity, once they took it, not only did they play the names of the thirteen commercial houses, but they also transferred silver taels to the government every year, and the income brought by them was probably an astronomical amount.
"This~This~" Both of them are characters who have been in the shopping mall for a long time, but they are facing the cabinet department, and the two of them must not be the people in charge, they can't be the masters, although they are excited, they dare not hide Su Guansheng, so they said: "The thirteen lines have not yet begun to boast about the business of provincial exchange, and we dare not guarantee specific things, we still need to go back and ask the master of the family, and ask the cabinet department for forgiveness." ”
Su Guansheng thought slightly when he heard this, and felt that the two shopkeepers really couldn't call the shots for such a big event, so he nodded and said: "Then you go back and ask your family master, let them come to the mansion tomorrow to visit the main hall, and you two will also come together, do you know?" ”
The two hurriedly bowed, and the words of the conversation just now caused a lot of discussion among the surrounding businessmen, as long as people who are a little smarter know that the thirteen lines are probably going to be sent. \u000bSu Guansheng immediately walked out of the crowd, turned on his horse, and walked towards the city, and heard the two shouting from a distance behind him, "Thank you for the support of the cabinet!" \u000bSu Guansheng turned around and waved his hand, and he was about to return to the city, but on the river in the distance, suddenly a large number of ships were coming from Haikou to Guangzhou......
